We cannot recommend Ian and Cory highly enough. From the very beginning, they were incredibly…read moreproactive, thoughtful, and deeply on top of every logistical aspect of buying our home in Sebastopol. They helped us quickly see and evaluate the house, guided us through making a strong and timely offer, and stayed closely engaged with every important detail throughout the entire transaction. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and we felt so well cared for at every step of what can otherwise be a stressful and complex process. What truly set Ian and Cory apart, though, was the care and genuine connection they brought to the experience. It was clear from the start that helping us buy a home was more than just a transaction or a service to them. They were truly invested in us as a family and in supporting a smooth, grounded transition into this next chapter of our lives. Even after the sale closed, their support didn't stop. As we settled into our new home and into the Sebastopol community more broadly, Ian and Cory continued to show up--connecting us with local services, trusted vendors, and people we needed as we got ourselves set up. That ongoing generosity and sense of partnership meant so much to us. Ian and Cory are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and detail-oriented real estate agents, and truly wonderful humans to work with. We are deeply grateful for their guidance and partnership and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Sebastopol or throughout West County.

From our very first meeting, when he sat comfortably on my couch and spoke with me, as though we've known each other for years, I felt at ease. His approach was genuine, relaxed, and reassuring. That ease carried through the entire process. Once he set things in motion, his marketing expertise was immediately evident. My family and friends reached out almost daily asking, " Have you seen DAVID's latest video of your home? It's incredible!" and they were right...his videos were beautifully done, and his commentary was both informative and engaging. DAVID promised from the beginning that he would stay in constant communication throughout the entire process, and he absolutely delivered. He responded quickly to every text and phone call, and never once made me feel like I was a bother. My home sold quickly, and I credit that to David's professional, professionalism, creativity, and dedication. I am sincerely grateful for DAVID's outstanding work. Thank you David!

When we wanted to go look at a new house or back to one we had already looked at, he was there and available with knowledge and advice with a keen eye for details that as a new buyer I didn't know to look for. When we decided on a house to make an offer on, David wrote up the contract and we had an accepted offer within 48 hours! From start to keys in our hands was 20 days and David was by our side every step of the way. I would highly recommend David Millar and Russian River Land and Home for any of your real estate needs.

This review is several years overdue, but has weighed on me all this time. I hired Jeff's wife…read more(Debbie Pannell), firstly, and got a bait and switch with mainly Jeff being the point person. I was selling my late father's house in Sebastopol and will highlight the issues: 1. I got zero help preparing the property. They showed up once in 7 months. 2. The few referrals for help with the property were their friends - none were appropriate in meeting the needs of the project. 3. Word got out through me, not them, so I ended up showing interested parties the property myself. I didn't mind this as we had agreed on open houses in the spring. 4. I checked in with them about this activity and interest and was told to refer offers to them (Jeff and Debbie). 5. I did this for the next interested prospective buyer, and Jeff and Debbie suddenly set up an urgent call with me where they excitedly told me I had until 5pm that day to accept the offer, which they said I should do. (What about the open houses?? They had said the market was very strong.) 6. Mind you I was grieving two family deaths during COVID and handling this massive property by myself with two kids. Under pressure - two "experts" and one of me - I accepted the offer by 5pm that day. Everyone I knew, including realtor friends, were later shocked at the way this was handled and said I could have/should have done much better financially. 7. No one ever went over the paperwork with me. It was delivered to the house by a notary public as I recall. Unbeknownst to me, I signed away light fixtures that were family heirlooms. I realized on my own what had happened, and had to fight to get those back, and replace them myself and at my own cost, as per Debbie and Jeff. 8. I then felt pressured by them into leaving more family relics for the new owners "to maintain the character of the property" 9. There was no communication with me around changed closing dates or walk throughs by the prospective buyers. I was in the dark and blindsided more than once. 10. I did consult with a lawyer after all this who agreed on how bad the situation was, but said I unfortunately had no legal recourse the way the laws are set up. 11. At some point I spoke to Jeff's higher up, Bill Facendini, about all this. He had an associate on the line as well - again, two of them, one of me. He tried to appease me until he became aggressive on the phone when I suggested there be some compensation: "Discussion like that stops right now. I will defend the realtors to the end." I asked what they actually did for me. His reply: "They did their job!" (for him, but not for me) Quite frankly, I have felt intimidated since that call to write this, but I'm not intimidated anymore. I wrote a letter with these issues of concern to Jeff and Debbie at the time. Their reply: "Congratulations on the sale of the home. Very surprised you've been disappointed. We hope this brings you closure to this chapter and allows you to move forward." In character, zero response to anything I asked them to address.

The Tony Lander Difference…read more My wife and I are on home number 5 and we finally landed our dream home. We met Tony at an open house that he was doing a favor for another realtor on. Immediately we hit it off, but I had no idea how different the experience would be with this realtor compared to others we had in the past. We worked with Tony for over a year battling this crazy real estate market. We put in many offers and most of the time came in last place because we were contingent on the sale of our home. We came close to quitting several times but Tony was encouraging and convinced us to stay the course. So about a year and a half into the process we finally got the call from Tony saying our offer on our dream country property was accepted! So then we had to frantically sell our home to make the deal happen which he also handled. We priced it aggressively and got multiple offers and let the best offer take it. This was a much better strategy then pricing high and maybe getting an offer that wasn't as desirable. Two of the offers were straight cash and we went with the highest one. So what makes Tony different? Attention to detail like nobody on the planet. He took notes the entire year and a half on everything and handled all of our business. He was a realtor, a lawyer, a friend, a coach and a personal assistant all wrapped into one. He recommended us to walk away from several properties, assuring us that he can do better for us and indeed he did. We ended up in the most incredible spot on Planet Earth and we didn't over pay at all, in fact we under paid. We also got very decent money on our home within 5k of the same unit that sold in a hotter market. Also, you will find out very shortly after dealing with Tony that he does not lie, ever! The guy doesn't play games and has your best interest at heart. We have been dealing with several other businesses that also Comment that Tony's paper work is "clean" or "very clean", in comparison to most other realtors. Most realtors handle their business, but Tony Lander also handles your business for you. He will coordinate everything flawlessly, and he has been very generous with his time over the year and a half we worked together. Listen, if you are either buying or selling real estate THIS IS THE GUY! I give him my highest recommendation and he is solely responsible for my wife and I achieving our greatest victory in this life, finding our dream home. Thanks Mr. Lander Tips for success- Price aggressively, multiple offers is a great feeling and you can always say no. Better then hearing crickets when you price what you think your property should be worth. The market sets the price and lowering the price just gets more people interested. Then you find out who wants it most. Remove as many road blocks as possible and let Tony do his job. Really listen to what Tony tells you, his advice is spot on and the best trait of the man. The Buyer and Seller should never have conversations until the deal is done. Good luck to you, I hope you find your dream homes as well!! Consider using Tony Lander and never give up until you get where you deserve to be, you earned it so you should never settle for second best. We didn't!!! The process can be a nightmare at times, but the juice is worth the squeeze.

Since we live outside of the area, it was such a relief when Mike and Ben took charge of everything. They always ensured that the houses were presentable, sometimes even making minor cosmetic repairs as needed and held open houses consistently, even when the market was slow. Mike's impeccable knowledge of the Sonoma County market as well as his professional contacts including quality repairmen, gardeners, house cleaners, carpet cleaners, etc. were indispensable in this process. As offers came in, Mike walked through everything with us with immense patience and never made us feel pressured or rushed. He did the same after we accepted the offers. We feel very lucky to have had Mike and Ben and would recommend them to anyone wholeheartedly due to their exceptional professionalism and expertise. With them, you also get the added benefit of working with genuinely good and kind people on your side!

Adam Menconi, Broker/Owner, Prosper Real Estate, provided our family an excellent experience with…read morethe sale of the home of our recently deceased parents. While we no longer live in Santa Rosa, when it came time to sell the house we needed to find a realtor. Adam came highly recommended to us by a friend. When we met Adam, we were impressed by his energy, personality, and knowledge of the market. As we would later learn, he also was well connected and knowledgeable of the the brokers/realtors in the area. Working with Adam, he walked us through the current Sonoma County housing market and provided a sense of timing for listing the house. He also had some fresh ideas on how to present the home once it was listed. He shared with us his software and media tools that could be used in lieu of "Staging a Home". With such tools, we would possibly lower expenses and allow the buyer to use their own vision of how they might furnish their new home. As mentioned, our family is no longer in the Santa Rosa area. When it came time to do house inspections, the Prosper team took the reins. They set up up the appointments and oversaw the work. Adam's Associate, Sarah Ramirez, was incredible in working through this effort. Both Adam and Sarah kept us well informed all along the way. As we continued to prep the house, we came across what seemed to be big obstacles. Fortunately, Adam and the team had solutions. This included contacts for Estate Sales, landscaping prep, and how to handle items left in the house that the family did not want - that the family otherwise would have to haul away. In short, Prosper handled all the major issues and it all became very easy for the family. In the end, the house sold much faster than we would have ever expected. It was a very smooth process and our expenses were held at a minimum. We highly recommend Prosper to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. A big thank you to Adam, Sarah, and the Prosper team.
