From day one, the Jacobs Team was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We worked primarily with Maha, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us through every step of the process and helped ease any anxieties that came up along the way. Her communication was always quick, and she was very accommodating of our busy schedules. Maha helped us find our dream home in Monterey! Her knowledge of the Monterey Peninsula is truly invaluable. She actually guided us toward a home that wasn't originally on our radar, and we are so grateful she did! We also had a very short turnaround for inspections, but thanks to Maha's strong network and local connections, we were able to get everything scheduled and completed quickly, which made a huge difference. Even after closing escrow, Maha has continued to support us by sharing great vendor referrals, all of whom have been excellent. We're so grateful to Maha and the entire Jacobs Team for making our first home-buying experience such a positive one. We would absolutely recommend them!

These wonderful women truly went the extra mile to help us understand what we were looking for, where we might find it, and how to close the deal. We worked mostly with Maha, who was fantastic. She shared so many helpful insider tips about life on the Peninsula and made us feel at home right away. When we were going back and forth between multiple properties, she provided expert guidance every step of the way and helped us confidently narrow down the best choice. When it came time to negotiate, Maha and Joy were knowledgeable, strategic, and a strong advocates for us. Their expertise made a real difference, and we felt supported throughout the entire process.

We had an excellent experience working with Peter Boggs, who guided us through every step of our…read morehome search and purchase. From the very beginning, he took time to understand our goals during a detailed buyer consultation via Zoom, helping us clarify what kind of property and neighborhood would best fit our needs. He toured us through multiple homes, resale and new build, across different cities, educating us on the nuances of each community, and even previewed listings via video and FaceTime so we could see homes as soon as they became available if we were out of the area. When it came time to make an offer on a home in Seaside Highlands, he wrote a compelling and well-structured proposal that unfortunately lost out only because other buyers did not have a contingency and we still needed to list our current residence. Even after that, he kept searching proactively, uncovering new and "coming soon" properties before they officially hit the market. In addition to his local expertise, he connected us with a trusted loan officer who reviewed financing and bridge loan options--to try to mitigate our contingency issue, and he also referred us to an excellent real estate agent in San Jose who helped us sell our previous home so we could be better positioned when making an offer. When our path shifted toward a new build at The Dunes, he smoothly transitioned into that process, \communicating with the sales agents for the builder, addressing our questions, and ensuring details were handled properly from contract to closing. He even provided vendor referrals to help us get settled after move-in. Peter's professionalism, responsiveness, and thoughtful guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and well-supported. We are truly grateful for his diligence, communication, and care in helping us find our new home. We highly recommend him to others.

Peter came by the property and was not overwhelmed with the potential problems. We established a top of market sale price, but the property was not ready to be listed on the MLS. Within days Peter had a full price, 21 day escrow offer ready to be signed. Title company and transaction coordinator were both fantastic. Communications were terrific. On top of being a knowledgable real estate professional, he is a great person. I could not recommend Peter more highly.

Dale and Helen are truly in a league of their own. They are two of the hardest-working individuals…read morewe've ever worked with, and they pulled off a sale that most thought couldn't happen. They hosted open houses every week while the property was on the market, carried and staged furniture themselves, and always stayed in constant communication with us. When repairs came up during the listing, Dale and Helen took care of them right away. Their dedication and hands-on approach were absolutely key to making this sale happen -- especially during one of the toughest times to sell as a homeowner. These two are pure magic. If you need your property sold quickly, efficiently, and for top dollar, we 100% recommend them. My wife and I have bought and sold several properties, and without a doubt, Dale and Helen stand out by leaps and bounds above the rest.

I recently met with Dale Warfel to discuss a potential listing in Sunnyvale, and I was immediately…read moreimpressed. Dale is a Bay Area native with a deep understanding of the local market, and it shows in the way he approaches real estate. What stood out most to me was how attentive, honest, and caring he is. He really takes the time to listen, explain options clearly, and provide thoughtful advice. There's no fluff or salesy pressure. just straight, genuine guidance from someone who clearly knows his stuff and truly wants the best outcome for his clients. If you're selling a home, I would absolutely recommend Dale, he's the kind of agent who will work tirelessly to get you the best result. And if you're buying, I'd honestly hope he's the listing agent, because you'll know you're getting straightforward communication and professionalism. Dale is the kind of realtor you can trust, and in this market, that's priceless.

She truly goes the extra mile for her clients and stayed on top of every detail to get us to the finish line. We truly couldn't have done this without her!

I had to sell my house on short notice. Initially, after a very poor experience with Keller…read moreWilliams, I researched a competent and knowledgeable real estate agent, Brittany Armenta. She met with me the next day after having wasted months with a different agent, and wow, I was blown away. Brittany knew the market inside and out and had the confidence to do what needed to be done to make a quick sale happen. She was as prepared as it gets, super communicative, and understand how to deal with the intricacies of my particular sale. I kid you not - within six days of going live on the market, we had an offer over the asking price with most contingencies waived. The open house was flowing with people despite the unfavorable weather and the issues with my solar loan. No problem was too big for her and her team to handle. If I needed extra boxes, they were delivered. She negotiated on my behalf with her vendors to get inspections done ahead of time (a sales tactic that worked well). She is also personable and genuinely cares about your situation. She makes time for you regardless of how busy she is. Her communication skills are top notch and the best of any realtor I've ever worked with. The irony is I had the polar opposite experience with a different agent at the same office, but don't let that dissuade you from working with one of the best real estate agents in the Bay Area. Brittany uses the latest technology and sales techniques to present your house in the best possible light while disregarding the minor details that do not matter. Hire her if you want to sell for top dollar and work with a team who knows what they are doing. She is the best.

Annette goes to the moon and back based off her motto "Above and Beyond". In 2013, my wife and I…read moredecided to stop renting and look for an investment property/home we could own and raise our boys. I don't recall how we chose Annette at that time, as she was working for a real estate company. However, I do remember that Annette was very responsive and helpful during our first home purchase. She provided honest "bottom line up front" facts on what we needed to purchase the property. In fact, she was very knowledgeable about VA loans and the detailed requirements--extremely helpful. Fast forward twelve years later: We determined that a move was more beneficial to us. We asked each other who we should contact to represent our home sale, and we unanimously said: "Annette Boggs". Why--because she knew us, knew the details of our previous purchase, she knows the area, she has excellent integrity and honesty, and impeccable work practices. We contacted her a year before we actually decided to sell, thereby gathering a better feel for what we need to do to help her sell the property. Annette performed a site visit at our home, and we realized that she branched off and developed her own company, which was very exciting. Annette gave us clear and honest guidance on what we would need to do for preparation. A year later, we contacted Annette again to let her know that we were ready to sell the property, and she immediately scheduled another site visit to go over the details. Annette came with her staff and explained exactly what we needed to do to prepare. Annette explained that she would professionally have the windows and house cleaned. Moreover, she provided professional photography and staging of the home. Our house looked brand new when she was ready to advertise. In addition, her 24/7 communication concerning all updates and new news was on spot perfect. Because of her "Above and Beyond" approach, we were able to not only purchase but sell our property with seamless results. Did Annette Boggs meet her motto: Above and Beyond"? We would say she went to the moon and back. We highly recommend Annette Boggs for your future real estate endeavors. Dennis Oaks

Leading up to the on-market listing, Alex was super clear and explicit on what will happen and how to prepare. He also provided thoughtful advice on what listing price to select in order to attract the most buyers. We were able to go on-market, do showings, send out disclosures, and request offers in no time. Alex's support extended to a great conversation on the pros/cons of each offer, which led us to being under contract very quickly. In the end, Rainmaker Real Estate was awesome to work with.
