We recently purchased a home in West Sonoma County while living full time quite a distance away…read more The process was beyond smooth - it was FUN - and that's all thanks to Autymn and Chelsea. They not only were able to quickly identify numerous properties that met our criteria, but also were willing to provide virtual/video tours when we could not travel to view the home in person. When it came time to make an offer, Autymn and Chelsea were there to advise us and help us determine terms that were to our advantage and felt good. They supported us during a packed physical inspection period, spending an entire day (plus several hours on two other days) onsite after booking inspectors for a variety of trades and areas. Most importantly, they arranged for inspections we didn't even realize we should have (like our water filtration system - kind of important in hindsight!). They represented us well throughout escrow, ensuring that negotiations were respectful while holding firm in our priorities. In short, they worked their butts off while making the entire experience a breeze for us. KB Properties is worth every penny they earn, and then some. We wholeheartedly recommend them, and intend to use them for any future real estate needs we have in the area.

They were so helpful in helping us understand the area and all the ins-and-outs of what we should know about owning a home in such a unique location. They spent a whole day showing us around to comparable properties, and they were so enjoyable to be around. They were friendly, knowledgable and professional. Once we were ready to move forward they helped keep everything organized and on track, from finding a broker, insurance, inspections, etc. We live a few hours away, so having their help through that process was essential.

In the wake of losing everything in 2017 Tubbs wildfire, our tax reporting became very complex, and…read moreour CPAs at the time did not have the experience to help us navigate the tax waters without significant loss. After paying substantial amounts in the ensuing years, we were told there would be an even greater amount to pay, which we finally took as a cue to seek other tax support. After interviewing several tax professionals, we were very fortunate to find Madelyne Cromwell, principal of Cromwell Tax & Bookkeeping (CTB). Our taxes-including those we'd already paid- took a significant turn for the better. CTB has been our tax go-to tax consultants since then. A bonus has been that Madelyne has shared with us tax programs we didn't know about that further reduce our taxes as seniors. Smart, honest, expert in Fed, state and local tax law and process, Madelyne is the consummate professional who really cares about her clients, as does her staff. They have our highest recommendation.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We couldn't be happier with Madelyne and her team at…read moreCromwell Tax & Bookkeeping. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thorough. They saved us from a very bad previous tax experience and they take the time to explain everything clearly and make what can be a stressful process feel easy and manageable. Their attention to detail and dedication to doing things right gives us complete confidence year after year. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy tax expert for business and personal taxes. Look no further!

Jackie the insurance agent and owner of the business helped me with my complicated bill of sale by assisted me with the right forms to notarize. She was very kind, knowledgeable and professional, she also seemed very organized. I don't have the perfect driving record, so I was honestly amazed she was able to get me insured and for lower monthly payments than I was previously paying. My bill so far is exactly what she had quoted me, regardless of my record. For me it was the One-Stop shot, Notary, DMV Registrations and Insurance. Office inside is clean and its décor is probably one of the best I have seen in the county. I give this business a 5+ for exceptional service, knowledge and professionalism.

I like Bill Barnett at Stearns Lending. My husband likes Bill, too. My father-in-law, my…read moremother-in-law, my neighbors, my husband's co-worker Steve, and Steve's mom--everybody likes Bill. Bill is just a very likeable guy. All that being said, what you want in a mortgage broker isn't likeability, though that doesn't hurt. What you want is somebody who knows the market, will be honest with you about what you can afford, will let you know when it's a good time to refinance and tell you frankly when it isn't, and is readily accessible by phone and email. You want somebody you can trust as you enter into probably the largest purchase of your life. Bill has been all those things for us through a home purchase and multiple refinances--plus he runs a truly local business. And crunches numbers with alacrity!
