Dustin made us a priority right off the bat and hit the ground running right along with us. At every turn, he met us with enthusiasm and positivity. He kept us in the loop, never let us go to bed stressed, went to bat for us countless times, and is just an all around wonderful human being. Dustin is probably one of the friendliest and most relatable people, but is also always ready to throw down for his clients to make things happen. Dustin really knows his stuff and is AMAZING at what he does, he always offered us his knowledge and advice, but also was open to all of our input and treated us as teammates. Ian and I were legitimately sad after we signed our last document because we wouldn't have as much contact with him anymore. We really did have the dream team of the home buying world and I can say with complete confidence that we would not be about to move into our dream home without them. THANK YOU!

They were very help throughout the whole process and made themselves available whenever we had questions. Dustin was awesome about making sure we were always in the know when there were updates about the purchase, and everything regarding the paper work. Dana was amazing during the house search, as we were not local. She did all the leg work for us when it came time to view a property, had all the connections when it was time to do inspections, and gave us lots of great recommendations for contractor/companies to reach out to for the renovations we plan on doing. i whole heatedly recommend Dustin and Dana if you are looking to buy in the Redding/Chico area.

After my father passed away, I was tasked with finding a real estate agent to help sell his home,…read moreeven though I was not local. In addition to not being local, there was a reverse mortgage on the home, so I wanted to find someone who had experience with reverse mortgages and help me determine if it was worth selling or just walking away. I did some internet searching and Sabrina came up on a few local lists. I decided to reach out to her and she immediately responded and we had a call to discuss our situation. She immediately struck me as honest, compassionate and intelligent. After she looked at the house, she sent me very detailed information about the options we had and what she would recommend. My sisters are local, and decided to bring in a few other agents after meeting Sabrina, as they wanted to ensure we were picking the right agent. After meeting a few others, they immediately let me know Sabrina was their favorite. So, we hired her! Throughout the process, she was so responsive and on top of things. We were able to sell the home quickly and efficiently, and I appreciated her communication and consultation throughout the process. She also navigated the delicate situation of me and my two sisters very well, as handling a parent's estate can be emotional and my sisters were full of questions and concerns regularly, but she was well aware as the trustee, I was the final say in certain things. I highly recommend Sabrina if you are selling a home in Chico!

I worked with Priya Tuvell to buy our first home and it was awesome! I just want to express how…read morefantastic of a job she did by telling everyone they should use her for their first time, next time or anytime real estate needs and here is why! For starters for us honesty and transparency is key to doing business with anyone. She stayed both honest and transparent even if that did not benefit her. She sat down with us at her office and got a feel for what we wanted inside and out side of our budget and laid all out. As visual learner this was perfect for me I could see what I wanted and what the going rate for that was. She was so thorough with background information on the homes she showed us, if she did not have answer she did the research and found out what she could. She was readily available and quick to respond for any and ALL questions we had, again if she didn't know she found out and dug deep for us. She has resources for you if you need them along the way for any inspection you might need or want as well as supports you to you use your own people. Pressure to buy a home DID NOT EXSIST with her, it was fully on our time and our notions of what was right for us. She also was not afraid to ask the homeowners of the houses we were viewing anything. She fully supported us and was always on OUR team. I cannot recommend her enough, especially as a first time home buyer who was initial overwhelmed by the process! Go with Priya I promise you won't regret it!

My last move was from Florida to Chico, CA. to be closer to family. I rented until I was more situated to a new city. Both my children went to Chico State, so I wasn't totally unfamiliar. I always loved Chico charm. My daughter recommended Megan Haimbaugh to be my Realtor since she did such an awesome job for them. I found Megan at an Open House she was hosting and introduced myself. I had a 6-month lease so I let her know I was just getting familiar with neighborhoods, etc. and what I was looking for. It would be IDEAL, I told her, if I could live close to my daughter's family. Lo and behold! Megan sent me to look at a new listing, just getting on the market that day because she said it was perfect for me. It was earlier than I was thinking, but interest rates were rising and I didn't want to lose this opportunity. It was the right price, the right size, the best yard ever and only 4 blocks from my family! Megan is terrific. She is always looking out for me, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, answered all my questions and is so easy to work with. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. My life is forever changed for the better because of her hard work and dedication.

We found a great home in Little Chico Creek Estates that had exactly what we were looking for, was mobility friendly, and move-in ready.

Throughout the buying process Jacob was super easy to work with, had a lot of good advice (not fake advice that helps him, but solid advice) and whenever I was feeling really antsy, a phone call with Jacob was always a big help to calm me down and focus ahead. The sellers were -incredibly- difficult to work with and Jacob was always there keeping them on track and sticking up for us. Once the fire happened, I needed information I no longer had access to (Our home insurance policy) and Jacob was happy to get the info he could and had our insurance people get in contact with us. He has also followed up with us since then to check in and offer his help and advice. I don't know if you know how much we really appreciate the support and generous help, Jacob. It's immensely helpful whether in a stressful buying situation or in the terrible aftermath of losing absolutely everything. Thank you.
