She has lived in the Valley for 50+ years and I highly recommend using Janet if you are looking for property in Big Bear Valley.

They don't just handle the transaction; they take the time to build a real relationship. If you want a team that is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely great to work with, I can't recommend the John Aguirre Team enough!

Serri was an absolutely exceptional real estate agent, and we can't recommend her and her partner…read moreGeorge highly enough. We hired Serri to sell our five-acre property with an exceptional panoramic view, our beloved home, and from the very first walkthrough she was extremely professional and thorough. She inspected every bit of the home and grounds and immediately knew how to position it to meet our specific goal: a quick sale, at a strong price, with no lingering on the market and no price reductions. A previous agent had pitched our home as a retirement property, which never sat right with us. Serri saw it exactly as we did, as a family home, and priced and marketed it accordingly. She brought in her own staging team, photographer, and videographer (including drone footage), and recommended a handful of relatively small, inexpensive updates, including a fresh paint job. The return on those modest changes was remarkable. They made a huge difference in how the home showed and clearly helped drive up buyer interest and the final sale price. Serri and George held a single open house that brought in over 100 visitors, and within 48 hours we had two offers above our asking price, from a family with young children and another who was ready to start one. Both could clearly picture themselves living there. Serri and George managed every step of the process with great care and skill. We were also in the middle of an international move at the time, which made everything more stressful, and Serri and George took every worry off our plate. Whether you're buying, selling, or just need solid advice, Serri and George are fantastic, and we recommend them without hesitation.

As a mortgage loan officer, I recently referred a long-time client of mine--a dedicated law enforcement officer who's been with me for over 20 years--to Holly for help finding a second home in the Big Bear/Lake Arrowhead area. Given his hectic schedule and the sheer number of overtime hours he's been pulling lately, I knew he needed a realtor who was not only knowledgeable but also as hardworking and dependable as he is. Holly exceeded every expectation. Her expertise in the Big Bear Valley area is second to none, and she quickly found my client a home they truly loved. But she didn't stop there--she worked her magic and got their offer accepted, and negotiated the price down by $10,000. Who does that in this market? Holly Gardner, that's who. What really impressed me (and my client) was Holly's personable and friendly nature. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, which is no small feat when you're dealing with a buyer whose schedule is as unpredictable as a wildfire. Holly worked around the clock to make sure every detail was handled, proving that she's just as hardworking as the clients she serves. I'm thrilled I referred my client to Holly, and he's over the moon about his new home. If you're in the market for a property in the Big Bear/Lake Arrowhead area, do yourself a favor and call Holly Gardner. She's a pro, a problem-solver, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Five stars all the way!

My wife and I were looking for a cabin for over a year. I called Holly to check on a property and…read morewas impressed with her right off the bat. I had worked with two different realtors prior to speaking with Holly. Holly answered every question I asked. I decided to stick with Holly because she was so in-depth with her answers. While I was on the phone with her, she set up my criteria account and I immediately started receiving emails regarding cabins with my wants/needs. I sent Holly a list of about 15 properties I wanted to look at. She never once tried to detour me from looking at a single property. I can't stand salesman because they are in it for themselves and never for you. When we looked at the cabins, she sat there and let us look. We took our time. Not once did she ever try to push or sell it to us. We asked numerous questions and not one went unanswered. She also told us the positive and negative things about the properties we were interested in. When we found "our" cabin, I was unprepared. She made the necessary phone call (to a lender) and made it possible for us to continue! Without her honesty and dedication, it would have not been possible for us to make an offer. We wanted our cabin so much, I was willing to offer over the asking price. With her guidance and direction, she saved us money. That was basically money she took out of her pocket (commission wise). She was clearly was looking out for our interest, not hers! I can go on for ever about Hollys extraordinary work ethic, but I don't want to write a book. Not one phone call or email ever went un answered, no matter what time it was. My wife and I found our dream cabin and we owe it to Holly. Thank you very much for your professional, ethical work and dedication to us. Even more so, taking time away from your family no matter what time or day it was to make it happen for us! You are truly the best and an amazing person! The Keller Williams Team is lucky to have you. You can use us as a reference anytime.
