I know I am not a typical case and Dana/BVM were able to come through for my second rental property. I had been denied last minute on a loan through a competing mortgage company in the area for my first rental which caused a very inconvenient situation. I had already committed to a family who was renting the home and had to purchase with cash. I look forward to this most recent rental as a solid investment for the future. Dana proved to be available at any time I needed to ask a question and presented data in a clear and concise manner. My rate and terms were also very competitive. Recommended!

Sean Krause in the Arden office on Fair Oaks was an amazing partner in our quest to purchase a…read morehome! This was our second home purchase so we weren't completely unfamiliar with the process, but he really took the time to go over everything with us and answer our many many questions :) He was always available to answer our questions via email, which is a big thing for me since it's hard for me to make calls during my work day. He kept us updated on every step, and was just an all-around nice person to work with. He went COMPLETELY out of his way when we made an offer on our dream home and actually called the listing agent to "pitch" us and make our offer the one they accepted! It was a multiple-bid type of situation, and I truly believe it was because of his willingness to (after hours!) convince the listing agent we were a good bet caused our offer to get accepted (and our Realtor too of course). Escrow went smooth, he pushed to get it closed early - and was even there at our closing. You cannot go wrong with Sean as your mortgage broker, and I'm so grateful I was referred to him! Loving my new home!!

I think I got ridiculously lucky to work with such great people during my home search and buying…read moreprocess. Jake was recommended to me by a family member. I moved from a different city and didn't really know where to start. He's everything you want in a real estate agent, he's flexible, honest, professional, easy to reach at almost any time of the day, and he really looks out for your best interests. He was very upfront about what to expect and was always on top of things. He even came with me to my loan signing process to answer any of my questions. I had been trying with the idea of buying a house in the Elk Grove area for a little while, I'm from another city. A family member recommended him on a Wednesday, I text him on Friday, met with him and went to see a house of my choosing and made an offer on Sunday, got outbid, saw another house by Monday, made a bid and won by Wednesday. How ridiculous is that?! And he walked me through every step. He even reaches out to the listing agent to get a better idea of what it will take to get you the house you want. Long story short, the bid I won turned out to just not fit me, so we kept at it. Jake sent me listing after listing. He found a THE one that fit everything I wanted, an hour after it was listed. We went to see that house the very same day at 7pm and it was perfect. We out in our bid and won, beating out 10 other bids. Now I'm a homeowner! I couldn't say better things about him. He was my rock in the process. I highly recommend him and will be contacting him when I start looking for my next house!

Where do I begin…read more...... Jo as she goes by was the sellers agent to the home that me & my man just purchased & finally after more than a 2+ month long process after the seller accepted our offer; just closed & received the key for last night 01/09/14.... Home buying I am told should be a fun and exciting experience on the whole however I wouldn't know about that as ours was anything but that thanks to the less than professionally ethical actions of one Jo Greene real estate agent. In an attempt to stick to the facts of this awful experience which led to a waste of money, time; which is priceless, energies & did I mention precious time? I have decided to organize the list of unethical piss poor business practices I experienced in working with one Joanna Greene..... 1. She withdrew the listing on the MLS within 3 hours after we submitted our offer to her. 2. She then informed our broker that she had several offers on the home & that we should bring our highest offer back to her as the current one would not cut it. So we did, realizing rather quickly by doing some legit homework & putting two & two together that there were no other such offers. 3. She said the reason she pulled the listing was because she was going to change real estate firms & didn't want the sale to go to Keller Williams Realty so we believed her. Jo then said we would have to wait several days in order for her to re-list the home & or officially accept our offer/present it to the sellers... Bait n Switch: Let's just say that if your an agent doing business with this person you might want to get your commission percentages for your part of the transaction in writing first before going any further..... Get it? 4. She would not schedule the pest inspections, home inspections, repairs & the like & it was the sellers responsibility to pay for them in our signed contract therefore the sellers agent should be handling this & in a timely fashion as well. Therefore our broker had to do it ALL. Including being there each time the inspections & repairs needed to be done.. When said repairs had to be done she would go MIA making it either impossible to proceed or later she would complain as to the repairs that needed to be done particularly the termite & water damage that was present & not done correctly by the sellers previously hired contractor with no proof of such repairs only verbal statements. 5. Early on she refused to communicate with our broker making it necessary for the company handling our escrow to be the liaison between our broker & herself and between the sellers & our broker as paperwork on her end kept coming up MIA leading to ridiculous delays in the process.... By her doing this she slowed the what should have been quick & efficient into beyond exhaustive & frustrating for all parties involved. 6. Jo sat on certain required pages of the purchasing contract for weeks at a time delaying the process. Each time we would discover documents missing & then trace them back to her she would provide them but always late in the day killing yet another "business" day. 7. Jo submitted an addendum in an attempt to charge us $50 for every day after the initially mutually agreed upon close date expecting us to pay for it. She post dated it back several weeks before the day she submitted it to our broker earlier this week January 2014. 8. She removed the key in the lock box when she & our broker had scheduled a joint walk thru of the home to inspect the repairs in progress together. Seeings as how she had not seen them due to the fact that she wouldn't schedule them herself nor be made available for contacting. Our broker headed over to the house & was speaking with Jo on the phone she rushed over & removed the key to the home & then didn't return to do the walk thru with our broker further delaying the closing process. 9. Had one of the pest repair people not have still have had an extra key to the home due to the amount of repairs that needed to be done, the repairs still would not have been completed & escrow still would not have closed. 10. On the day of the home's title officially transferring had it had not have been for the extra key listed above in 9 we still would not have a key to our new home as Jo still has not made contact with our broker offering it up even today..... 11. Late disclosure in email format only: A mere matter of weeks before closing Jo forwarded an email from the seller stating "Oh, by the way, we forgot to mention the aggressive dogs next door". Making no mention of it in the legal disclosure portion of the contract signed months earlier. I've since met the mentally unstable neighbor & confirmed the viciousness of the 2 dogs... Too bad we can't send her a bill for the monies we ended up having to come out of pocket for having to stay in a hotel for a week & a half for a home that should have closed before Christmas. Need I say more?
