Cathi was recommended to us by our probate attorney--and we are so grateful. She is a proactive,…read moreexperienced, and resourceful real estate agent who kept us informed during every step of the process (Zoom, texts, phone), despite the distance ( living 5 hours away). She calmly and efficiently took charge, engaged her contacts (urgent need for new roof, home and pest inspection, plumbing issue, tree trimming, moving/cleaning company, home insurance problem solving) and was able to sell the home in 12 days (5 offers and home sold over asking price). Cathi went above and beyond every step of the way to make this happen (checked on the house every day, monitored roofing progress, forwarded mail...and much more). She is a kind and generous person, as well as an outstanding professional!

My husband and I have purchased 9 homes in our 42 years of marital bliss. Hasn't always been…read more'blissful' with the realtors we've encountered, unfortunately, but with 9 homes, that's 18 realtors altogether on both sides of the deal, right? For the most part, the realtors we've used did their job just fine but others were incredibly horrific, some nightmarishly incompetent in so many ways that we couldn't believe we were tied up in the midst of such madness. How did we get here? How did they get their licenses? That happened twice. Since we were interested in buying a home in the Napa/Sonoma area and without any personal connections there, I relied on YELP reviews. After contacting a few prospects, I decided on Cathi Litle because she had a 5-star rating, and the reviews spoke of a realtor that was responsive, very important to me, and worked in both Napa and Sonoma. From the onset, Cathi appeared to be very knowledgeable of what we were looking for and directed us to the perfect neighborhood. I felt a personal connection with her just in texting and emailing. Once I actually met her, she's just totally a sweet person, nothing harsh about her in any way which I think worked really well in our final dealings with the sellers and their realtor, since we had special requests to travel a long distance to view our potential new home a few times before closing. And, most importantly, she was on the case with the "2nd nightmarish realtor" we ended up with trying to sell our home. She maneuvered around that frightening situation on our behalf with such grace making sure that all the bases were covered and that everything came together with no loose ends. Aah! If it wasn't for her competence on that end of the deal, things could've been a total bust. It wasn't all Cathi, we had to work through some things on our end to sell our home but she was right there for us when we had questions. To me, that's what a realtor should be doing. They should be there when you have questions, when you need advice and to make sure that all of the details are taken care of. Cathi is essential to making everything gel, making everything work in the process of buying a home so that you don't have to worry during what can sometimes be a very stressful process. It was proven to us over and over again that Cathi was not only competent, not only knowledgeable but she applies her skills as a tactful negotiator in a very subtle manner that works. We can't be happier that we fell upon Cathi Litle on YELP! She is all business on one end and she's your "partner" in finding the right place for you on the other end. It's a good ride!!

She did lots of county trips checking on property lines septic permits and zoning when she sold my 5 acre property.

I've recommended her to 4 of my personal friends and all have been delighted with her service. I recommend patty highly to everyone, for buying or selling all size propertys

It was our first time buying a home, so we had so many questions and concerns, and Bonnie went above and beyond to take care of us. She was so patient, and answered every question that we had. She kept track of all the escrow deadlines, so we never missed anything. She's LOCAL, having grown up in Petaluma, so she really knows the area. Also, she's been in the real estate business since something like 1979. Having benefitted from Bonnie's real estate experience, we now realize how important it is to go with someone local, who has years and years of experience. Every day, we woke up, saying, "We are SO thankful that we found Bonnie." So, if you're looking for a great house-buying experience, and you want all your questions answered, go see Bonnie. You'll love her like we do ! Deb

I would recommend Lolli and Rachael to anyone without hesitation.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Linda Pillard in selling a property. I initially found…read moreLinda many years ago after seeing many of her signs in the area. When it came time to sell, I had already heard plenty of positive comments about her from locals in the area. She has a strong reputation, is very experienced and has represented many sellers and buyers. I was looking for an agent that I could trust, that knew the market as I was from out of the area, that would protect me from any issues after the sale, and negotiate strongly on my behalf. A top agent like Linda really makes a difference in a challenging market or when dealing with difficult buyers or issues that come up in the transaction. I experienced all of the above and I do not believe any other agent could have successfully closed the transaction in the timeframe and at the price we did.. Even though I own a separate real estate company for over 20 years, I still chose Linda over my own agents so that tells you something. Any agent can list your property, do an open house, and pick up the phone. However, real estate transactions are complicated and there are many documents, disclosures, and forms and more are added every year. If you're not careful or if you use an agent that does not understand disclosures and liability and other pitfalls, you can expose yourself to problems after the close. Linda's negotiation skills are first-rate and she consistently found ways to get me the best price possible while making sure I was protected. She also went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of from arranging inspections to researching potential issues with a property to providing good and bad news in an honest manner with strategy on how to tackle each issue. There are many "good" agents out there, but you won't be able to tell if they are truly one of the best(or worst) until you're already in the process and by then it's too late. You're in good hands with Linda, regardless if you're a first time buyer/seller or very experienced, she explains everything and is available to represent your interests.

As first time home buyers, I am sure we were a total pain, needy and stressed. Mary Kay and Kathy were kind and patient with us throughout the process. Additionally, they were INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about every single housing development and area in Marin. They assisted us in finding a place that worked with us on our extremely limited budget with our first place, and three years later, they helped us to sell it and make enough of a profit to buy an amazing house in our ideal area. Before meeting Mary Kay and Kathy we worked with another agent who didn't know anything about the neighborhoods. We had to move on, because we very much needed the knowledge that comes with experience, research, and a hunger to hone your craft. We found these traits in the Yamamoto women, and are so thankful for all of their help.
