Review written by my wife Michelle who worked with Heidi to sell a trust property:…read more "We had the absolute pleasure of working with Heidi Bonham with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Oak Valley, to sell our trust property, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Heidi was exceptional. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the process, consistently finding ways to make what could have been a very stressful situation feel manageable and supported. Selling a trust property comes with its own unique challenges, and in our case, we were also navigating cash-for-keys agreements with multiple long-term tenants. Heidi handled this with professionalism, compassion, and incredible patience. One thing that really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about everyone involved. She even took the extra step of providing apartment rental listings to one of our tenants who had lived on the property for over 30 years. She did this entirely on her own time, without charging us or the tenants. Heidi was also very mindful and respectful of the sensitive family dynamics involved, especially considering some of the complexities with beneficiaries. She navigated everything with discretion, empathy, and a steady hand, which made a huge difference for us. She also came with an incredible network of resources and was always ready with trusted referrals for things like junk removal, gardening, and other property needs, which was immensely helpful. If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and truly invested in her clients, Heidi Bonham is the one you want. We are so grateful for her support and expertise throughout this entire process. Highly, highly recommend!".

I followed her recommendations and they worked. Open house on Saturday and Sunday, accepted the best offer the next day. Closing done on the target date as scheduled.

Very knowledgeable, very professional, always happy to help. Experience matters. Sold my house more than my expectation.

I could not be happier with the amount of work that she put in to find me this home and to make the process smooth. I highly recommend working with her for your real estate needs!

A month after we agreed she would represent me, Marjorie put the house on the market, then held an open house, and a day later I had two very good offers. The house sold over asking price! The buyers wanted a quick escrow so there was a lot to do in a very short time after the agreement was signed, and again Marjorie made it all happen quickly and efficiently. I couldn't be happier with her work and the results! This is my second adventure with Marjorie, as she help me buy the house 25 years ago. Her service has always been exemplary, and I highly recommend her to you both as a buyer's agent and a seller's agent.

Marjorie took a dark and dusty house and made it into a bright and welcoming home that received multiple offers over asking. There was only one weekend in which the house was shown.

Marjorie is kind, helpful, and professional. I cannot recommend her enough!

My wife and I had planned to buy our first home and were recommended to go to Mary Beth Cochran by…read moreour employer. It was clear to us that she had an excellent reputation in the industry, and now having worked with her, we can see why. She was nothing less than OUTSTANDING in all respects. To highlight our situation specifically, we had to relocate across the country from the East Coast to the Loma Linda/Redlands area for our career. Moreover, we were looking to buy a home during a particularly hectic time, as the COVID-19 pandemic was taking off, with all open houses shut down and many sellers suddenly taking their properties off the market. Mary Beth was exceptionally patient and flexible with us throughout the whole process. Prior to visiting, we provided her with listings we had considered on Zillow/Redfin and she in turn gave us some feedback and suggested other properties to add to the list as they came up, without any pressure in either direction. Once we visited, we had a narrow window of only 3-4 days to find and pick out a house. But Mary Beth was willing to dedicate essentially all of her time to us, tirelessly showing us homes (including new ones to see that came up at the last minute). She put together daily schedules for us that accommodated our needs perfectly. She is an excellent communicator, very responsive to messages and emails, always answering within several minutes. She is IMMENSELY knowledgeable about the area, with a strong understanding of various neighborhoods. She made the extra effort to not just show the homes themselves, but also enthusiastically tour the surrounding area so that we had the best understanding of the neighborhoods we were buying into. Throughout our tours, it was very clear to us that she genuinely loves this job and is very proud of the neighborhoods she showed. Even after we settled on our new home (which was one of the houses she suggested and added to our list), she followed up with us to send updated pictures as construction was being completed. This helped to put our minds at ease that the promised tasks were getting done. Besides her knowledge, flexibility and professionalism, the attribute we appreciate most about Mary Beth is simply that she is a kind, genuine person. No question was too stupid (especially as a first time homebuyer) and she made a point to reassure us every step of the way. We cannot recommend her enough!!

From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and confident in the process. She was always professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what stood out the most was how much they genuinely cared.

Jessica worked so hard behind the scenes and was always one step ahead, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We truly felt like we had someone in our corner looking out for our best interests every step of the way. We are so grateful for all the effort and dedication she put in, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jessica Oertel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She really goes above and beyond!
