But she really understood what we wanted and continued looking for that rare gem. She was super-diligent in contacting us immediately when something with that criteria became available, showing it to us and quickly gathering all the pertinent information that she could get from the listing agent, then writing up the best offer possible for our circumstances and so that our offer would be competitive with the multiple other offers on the same property. The sellers accepted our offer and Sarah stayed actively involved with us throughout the inspections and contract period, and helped us celebrate when we closed. We have known many realtors in our life and Sarah is a professional who really knows the business, works hard and goes above and beyond expectations for each client. (She also offers bargains as a listing agent).

Nick was everything I hoped for from a realtor. I decided to purchase my first home and went with…read moreNick to help me. He knew what to do every step of the way. At the start, he helped narrow down houses based on what I was looking for. Then when I decided to put an offer down he managed that for me. He helped explained the whole process which I was unfamiliar with since this was my first home. It was a smooth process since most of the heavy paperwork was done by Nick. The house was competitive with multiple offers and I think how Nick handled our offer was what pushed it over the edge for ours to be accepted. I'd highly recommend Nick due to how easy he made the whole process for me and how he was able to help me purchase my first home!

He definitely made a big difference in us getting the house we wanted. Overall I can't say enough great things about Nick, I'd highly recommend! Thanks Nick!

As a buyer, dealing with Zachary has been difficult, and that's being polite. I am writing this…read morereview so that others can avoid the experience we endured. Buying a new home (new to us anyway) is supposed to be a happy occasion, a memory you keep for the rest of your life. Thanks to Zach, our recent home buying experience was turned into a nightmare. At every turn Zach throws a tantrum if he doesn't get his way, his go to line is "take it or leave it, I have another buyer...". He has gone so far as to recommend a termite inspector to us, which we used. Then Zach didn't like the termite report Zach contracted a second termite inspector without telling us. I'm certain Zach's "independent" termite inspector was competent, but he of course didn't confirm any of the findings the initial inspector did, surprise! Zach went so far as to claim the initial inspection was fraudulent! Why then did Zach refer us to this termite inspector which he initially stated he had worked with in the past only to later claim the inspection was fraudulent? Here's where it gets good, items that were flagged by the first termite inspector in his report, items that Zach refused to acknowledge, were secretly repaired before we took possession. Nobody acknowledged the repairs were needed, but they were repaired without telling us. Why make repairs you alleged were fraudulent without telling the Buyer? Here's the bombshell, we hired a third termite inspector at our expense again, to put our minds at ease regarding the potential termite damage, jackpot! The third termite inspector arrived at the property and recalled having been to the property in 2021! He shared his initial findings from the 2021 inspection - there were termites on the premises, tenting was recommended but not performed. Eventually some local spraying was performed in 2021. None of this was disclosed to us! Zach and the Sellers were adamant that termites were not present on the premises, yet they failed to disclose prior termite issues or related repairs that were performed in 2021, and they didn't inform us of the repairs that were performed as a result of appearing in the initial termite report we received from our initial termite inspection. Third termite inspector confirmed the findings from the first termite inspector. I have to ask, which report was fraudulent? There's even more! Our insurance rep contacted Zach for some details on the house so we could move ahead with obtaining insurance and not hold up the loan. The timeline was a challenge, but we did everything possible to stay on track for Zach's required 21-day close. Zach flat out hung up on our insurance rep, the call was on speaker and there was a witness that can confirm Zach hung up on our insurance agent. Who does that? I could share more regarding how we were treated personally, but I think you get the picture. Suffice to say, there will be some calls and letters sent to various licensing boards and consumer watchdog groups in Sacramento.

I planned to be there after hearing the buyers had some functional questions. I'd discussed this with my agent beforehand, and understood it's fairly common. But when I opened the door, before I could say anything, jaime became very upset. After telling me I needed to leave, she pushed past me, stepping in and waived the aghast buyers in behind her. She stood there in the middle of my home, got on her phone and started calling me names. All of this right in front of me. In my own home. Escrow was not closing for a while yet. I told her she needed to leave, I'd had enough. She refused She continued to insist that it was in the contract that I couldn't be there. (which my agent later refuted). I then called my agent and was considering calling the police. Her threats only made me want to cancel the sale, regardless of consequences. My house had received many offers very quickly and I knew it would sell to someone else. Her behavior was unnecessary and outrageous. BTW, I'm a senior citizen, a single female and a retired RN with a cardiac condition. And yes, I had chest pain. This was very distressing. I did ask my agent to report this to the realtor licensing board and ensure that jaime's broker was aware.
