The whole process was quick and easy on our end, and we were invited to her beautiful home to do all the signing, where we were treated as family. Our two kids were entertained by the dogs, and. life-sized Santa was a witness! It is clear Elise is "in it" to help people. I recently reached out to Elise for advise on what type of financing product would fit a need that developed with out home. Elise very kindly responded with places other than her I could go to for a product that would best fit our needs. I appreciated the honesty and time she gave in that situation. In addition to your mortgage needs, Elise is also a talented gardener and shares a plant bulb or two as well as advice! You've made a friend in the community after working with Elise.

We intend to come back to her for any future mortgages!

If I could give Jeanine more than five stars, I would…read more Buying my first home at 63 years old after a lifetime of renting felt exciting, overwhelming, and at times downright terrifying. From the very beginning, Jeanine was so much more than a mortgage broker, she became a trusted guide through every step of the process. No question was ever too small. She patiently explained things I didn't understand, kept me informed every step of the way, and somehow made a very complex process feel manageable and even possible. Whenever a new document, underwriting request, insurance issue, or unexpected question came up, Jeanine was there with calm reassurance, knowledge, and practical solutions. What impressed me most was how deeply she cared. I never felt like just another client. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinated with my realtor, escrow, insurance broker, and lender, and always had my best interests at heart. I truly not only felt, but knew she was advocating for me throughout the entire process. Thanks to Jeanine, I am now the proud owner of my very first home. Looking back, I honestly don't know how I could have navigated this journey without her expertise, patience, encouragement, and unwavering support. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and willing to go far above and beyond, I recommend Jeanine without hesitation. She helped make one of the biggest dreams of my life come true, and I will always be grateful.

(This review is based on our experiences with Ken in 2016.)…read moreKen is the best! We've used a few Sonoma County realtors. One when we were looking to move here, and started looking in Petaluma. We have a wonderful young lady helping us, but she had to quit to take care of some family issues. So we found another agent, who did assist us in getting our home in Rohnert Park, but we did not like him at all. When we started to look to move out of RP 10 years later, we found a very nice young lady who was very helpful in our initial home search in Windsor, but when we found Ken to sell our RP home, we liked him so much, we wanted him to help us find our new home, too. He really helped us sell our home, and sell it fast. He had plenty of helpful advice to get it sold, and he put up with a lot of our delays on cleaning/packing/moving, etc. He was very knowledgeable about homes in the area, and would point things out along the lines of, "Where would you put the TV?", "I don't know if this roof can handle the weight of those solar panels," "This is a unique home, but that could make it hard to sell in the future," "Very close to railroad tracks, and the train will be coming through here soon" - Not exact quotes, but you get the idea. He would point out things that are easy to overlook when you are distracted by a big fancy kitchen or lovely backyard. If we ever decide to move again, we would not hesitate to hire Ken to sell our home in Windsor, and we'd love to have him help us find a new home, unless we were moving out of the area. He also took some great photos of our RP home, which I'm sure helped to find buyers.

She took the time to explain everything in clear, understandable terms and always made sure I felt comfortable and confident with each decision. What really stood out was her ability to break down complex mortgage details and guide me through each step without ever making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Jackie's calm and professional approach turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and even enjoyable one. When I was looking into buying a second property, there was no question in my mind about who to turn to. Jackie continued to be just as responsive, insightful, and supportive as she was the first time around. It's clear she genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best outcome for them. I can't recommend Jackie enough to anyone in need of a trustworthy, experienced mortgage broker who goes above and beyond.

I cannot recommend Kimberly highly enough! As a long-distance buyer relocating from Boston to Santa…read moreRosa, I needed a realtor who could handle all the challenging homebuying logistics in California--and Kimberly exceeded every expectation. During my initial weekend visit, she quickly understood my preferences and helped me narrow down my search. When a promising property came on the market after I returned to Boston, she provided such a thorough video tour that I felt like I was walking through it myself. Her responsiveness, knowledge, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process remarkably smooth. Kimberly truly went above and beyond at every turn. She coordinated inspections, arranged for deep cleaning before my move-in, signed for my new bed delivery and setup, and even agreed to receive my car delivery over the Christmas holidays. As a newcomer to California, I was overwhelmed with logistics, but she guided me through everything from acquiring insurance in a fire-risk area to understanding the nuances of Oakmont Village's different sub-HOA requirements. She connected me with reliable inspectors, contractors/handymen, and service providers, drawing on her extensive network and experience flipping homes with her husband. Whether answering questions herself or quickly connecting me with the right expert, her follow-through was impeccable. If you're buying a home--especially from out of state--Kimberly is the best!
