After interviewing 5 agents, it was easy to choose Donna Wood. We felt confident after listening…read moreto her presentation that she was fully qualified and had the expertise needed to ensure top dollar in sale of our home. Communication from day one was excellent from Donna and the entire VC Property Shoppe team. Donna was assertive in advertising using all modern day forms available, including hosting open house receptions. Her photographers were top notch and highlighted key features of our home with both day/evening shots. As a result, our home sold in just two weeks! And after we closed, she presented us with a very thoughtful gift knowing we were going on a family road trip! We can't say enough positive things and we would HIGHLY recommend Donna Wood with VC Property Shoppe!

Selling a house.... wow what a daunting task that turned out to be. So we had been working on and…read moreremodeling our house for years and were finally in the last couple months of work and thinking about how on Earth we were going to sell it. One day this wonderful woman walked up to us in our yard and with a radiant smile introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Krista, I was doing an open house up the street and your neighbors told me you are thinking of selling. Do you have anyone helping you with that yet?" "We're thinking about it but not quite ready yet." We she commented on how beautiful the house was and that it should go pretty quickly but that we should make sure we used someone who understood the local market and its quirks. She went on to give us a bunch of free advise and counsel for the next half hour. She left us her card and we exchanged numbers and we both went about the rest of our day. A few months past before we were ready to sell and Krista checked in diligently every month just to see how things were going. We had done quite a bit of studying and watching the local market so we had a good idea of the value of the house and the local comparables. Everything she told us checked out with everything we had found on our own. This lady knew her stuff. Point Krista. When we were almost ready we were approached by a young couple that told us they wanted the house before we even put it on the market. We contacted Krista and asked if she would help us through the process even though we had short circuited the process. She was ready willing and able and treated use like full service customers even at the reduced commission. Point Krista. We went into escrow and low and behold after the inspection report came back the buyers backed out. Month wasted and a few thousand flushed down the drain. "Krista save us", we pleaded and this was when she ducked into a garden shed and out came Super Krista! She's faster than a speeding bullet and able to appraise a house in a single bound. She took over and in two whole days she had another over asking buyer ready to go. Wow! This is where she really came into her own. Time after time, delay after delay the process seemed to be agonizing. Not because of the buyer or Krista but because of all the other parties involved and the aftermath of the real estate meltdown of 2008. Its something most people don't even know about but so many rules and regulations and onerous procedures came out of that mess that the simple transaction of buying and selling a house is like trying to do a hostile takeover of General Electric with an abacus and a debit card. Crimeny, could they make the process more difficult? Not likely. And through it all cruised our hero Krista. She knocked down every roadblock, smoothed every procedure and explained every looney tunes "new policy" thrown our way. POW! BOOM! KAPOW! She fought her way through the evil henchmen of paperwork and delay. We would have been lost without her. She doesn't treat you like a client. She treats you like family. She's part mother, part pit bull, part angel and does it all with a calm smile and a warm embrace. You can hunt around all year long and not find a gem like Krista to guide you across the river Styx but I wouldn't recommend it. No one will take better care of you, make you feel warm and safe like Krista and VC Property Shoppe will. Keep your corporate real estate agents. These ladies don't need a special jacket to take care of you, they have spandex under their clothes because they are superheros. Oh yeah and escrow closed smoothly and we are in our new house and the buyers are just as happy. Game, Set, Match Krista. Win Win Win that is the VC Property Shoppe way. We can't say thank you enough to Krista and her team. You guys ROCK and we still owe you that dinner.

He knows the area well, is knowledgeable and honest about homes that he saw issues with. His team showed our home 7 weekends in a row which led to it selling. He provided us with a free staging consultation for selling our home and lots of referrals to local tradesmen. He's responsive at all hours! We were anxious and he has a way of listening and responding that is really calming. Part of the process of finding a new place was to look at a lot of homes on our own or with another agent when Sean's schedule didn't allow. Once we sold our home though, Sean helped us close a very tough escrow. The sellers of our new home were extremely difficult and the home is older. We trusted Sean because he earned our trust. He did a great job organizing all the inspections we asked for and he reassured us by giving us options and made us feel empowered. We recommend him highly!

I had a wonderful experience working with Rincon Property Management…read more Before choosing a property management company, I spent a lot of time researching my options and had several conversations with Kenya. From the very beginning, he was patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. He recognized my hesitation about hiring a management company and never made me feel pressured. Instead, he took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and helped me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. Kenya connected me with Dio, who turned out to be an excellent fit for both me and my property. Throughout the leasing process, Dio was incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. He provided thoughtful recommendations, communicated clearly, and helped guide me through each step. As a first-time experience working with a property management company, I learned far more than I expected. The experience gave me valuable insight into leasing, tenant screening, documentation, and overall property management. What stood out most was the team's responsiveness and willingness to answer every question I had. They listened to my concerns, respected my goals as a property owner, and worked collaboratively to find practical solutions. I always felt informed throughout the process. Another reason I chose Rincon was that the company felt personal rather than transactional. While I haven't yet had the opportunity to meet the owner, Peter, I appreciated learning about his background as a Fire Captain with the Ventura City Fire Department. As someone in the medical field, I value professionalism, service, and integrity, and I felt those values were reflected throughout my experience with the entire team. It's also inspiring to see someone successfully managing properties while serving the community. I truly enjoyed working with Kenya, Dio, and the Rincon Property Management team. They are professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely care about providing quality service. I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future and would absolutely recommend anyone considering property management to give them a call, ask questions, and see if they're the right fit for your needs. Thank you, Rincon Property Management, for making what could have been a stressful process such a positive learning experience. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again.
