To Whom It May Concern:

Russ Leitzell has been a personal friend as well as a construction consultant and preferred vendor for my business of Residential Property Management for over 18 Years. During this time I was able to rely on Russ as a voice of experience and quality of work in numerous building trades and general construction. He was especially skilled in carpentry, drywall installation, HVAC, painting, plumbing and refrigeration. Russ’s work was superb in all aspects. He completed jobs at my personal residence as well as many of the 75 homes we managed in and around the towns of the Monterey Peninsula, Salinas and North Monterey County.

Russ co-located his business, known as Professional Appliance Service, with my property management office in 1996. For several years we shared overhead expenses and solved many repair and maintenance problems. I came to know Russ as one of the most conscientious, honest and professionally competent individuals in my 23 years as a Real Estate Broker and Professional Property Manager.

Russ Leitzell has the distinction of becoming the first vendor affiliate member of the Monterey Bay Chapter, National Association of Residential Property Managers. He was continually employed and recommended by property management firms who came to trust his expertise, judgment and quality of workmanship

It is a distinct pleasure to recommend Russ Leitzell for any teaching credential he seeks from the California Commission on Teaching Credentials. He will distinguish himself in teaching the trades as he has done for many years.

Sincerely yours,

Richard A. Beaumont

Review of Services

16 July 2001

To Whom it May Concern,

Mr. Russ Leitzell has worked for Lighthouse Property Management since 1993. He has repaired appliances for the Atlantic Arms Apartments, a 39 unit apartment complex in Salinas, and for the Sunset Apartments, a 37 unit apartment complex in Marina. During the past eight years he has repaired gas stoves and ovens, electric stoves and ovens, stove fans, bathroom fans, and fluorescent lights. He is particularly skilled with refrigerators of all makes (Hotpoint, Frigidaire, Maytag). He has saved us thousands of dollars by salvaging refrigerators that other technicians were unable to repair.

Mr. Leitzell’s knowledge of appliances far exceeds that of the average individual who advertises in the yellow pages in Monterey, Seaside, Salinas, and Pacific Grove. Mr. Leitzell explains things very simply and clearly so that lay people, including myself and my tenants, understand why the appliance does not work. Mr. Leitzell is fast, efficient, reliable, and honest. He also takes pride in his work.

Sincerely,

Amy Hu
Manager Sunset Apartments
