Daphne is passionate about her clients and helping them find the home that best fits their needs. Daphne was a very patient, communicative, and effective real estate agent. Her strong knowledge of the local area, market trends, and where to (and - more importantly NOT) to buy were an invaluable resource to my wife and I as we were/are new to the area. We plan on conducting all of our future Real Estate transactions in the area with Daphne and look forward to working with her again when the time is right.

I wanted to see one of Daphne's listings on Crimson street in Santa Rosa and she said that she…read morewould be available tomorrow to show it. The following day she explained that she wasn't able to show it after finding out that my broker would not be present and explained that only her friend could show it and that there would be a showing fee. What a disservice to her Crimson street client. I was expecting an email back or a call saying that of course she would show the property.....but no call, text or email.

I have been utilizing the services of Sonoma County Property Rentals for a little over a year now…read moreand I can honestly say that they are by far the BEST I have ever dealt with. As an owner of rental properties for more than 20 years, I have hired many property managers both in Sonoma County and other areas of California. Laura, the property manager, has been the most knowledgeable, responsive and friendliest of all the managers I have worked with. She is simply outstanding! I'm currently dealing with a difficult situation while trying to sell my property with a tenant in place. Laura has been patient and kind as well as responsive to all of my requests. I highly recommend this team to manage your rentals. Their fees are good too, lower than most!

This review is for Property Owners: My wife spoke with Chris at length about renting our house in…read moreHealdsburg. I spoke with him, too, and he came across to me as smart, competent, and very able to rent our house. This was mid-July of 2020. By December 31, his assistant, Laura, wrote us to say there wasn't interest in our house. We immediately called another property manager who genuinely couldn't understand why the house hadn't been rented. She had a signed rental contract 8 days later. Read that last sentence again. This is why I'm writing this review. During the almost 6 month period we had the house with SCPR, I received a few emails from Laura: The prospective renter wanted $ off the rent, or had some other ask. We always compromised with the request, but nothing ever happened. The house was furnished when we signed the contract with Chris. At the time he said that it added a challenge, but that they would get it done. At some point Laura indicated that, because the house was furnished, they were having a hard time finding renters. When the house was still unrented in November, my wife and I went up, packed up the furnishings and asked them to take new photos. Then came a couple more of the same asks: Would we take $ off the rent, etc., etc.? Nothing happened with the home. Then the "nobody's interested in your property" email. I'll leave it at this: Our experience was that our house sat empty for almost 6 months, immediately followed by the next property manager raising the asking rent by $200/month (from the asking price that SCPR set) and it was rented in 8 days!

Julianna is the best, she was recommended by one of my great friends. I reached out to her late…read moreevening and right away she responded back regardless of the time. she was able to help and guide my partner and I in purchasing our very first home. My partner and I have very scattered schedules and we typically get off work pretty late, but It didn't stop Julianna. She was still able to schedule views in the evenings or the time we were able to view homes. She took the time to educate us about what we should look for a home and what we shouldn't, without any pressuring! We highly recommend her and can't wait to keep doing business with her! Don't hesitate, and reach out I can assure you, you will be in the right hands.

In our home buying journey, I wanted to seek out the best possible realestate agent. I ended up…read moregiving Julianna a shot based on previous reviews and awards. What I didn't expect was the level of care and attention to detail she provided. I was entertaining the idea of building on a lot. Julianna got right to work contacting all of the appropriate players and contractors. She also has a network of lenders, contractors and permit offices. I was also open to the idea of finding an ideal existing home to purchase. Julianna pivoted to finding us the most ideal homes in the area. We toured (thouroughly) 4 homes, each with their own ideosyncracies and made at least two offers. Julianna was always in our corner, her pulse on the market for proper offering strategy. For a while, she was limping from a soccar injury and insisted on walking up, down, around these properties. She frequently met us after hours, on weekends and even hosed down a garage door with me to find potential leaks (not kidding). At one point, I got into a shouting match with a building superintendent and she stood there, solid, professional - in my corner. Every tour, financing step, offer, inspection, signature - Julianna was gently guiding like an angel. The result? My wife, kids and me now how our dream home in Sonoma County after 15 years of renting.

Tara Polley of Sotheby's International Realty is an exceptional real estate agent. Since I have…read morerelocated a number of times, I have had experience with a number of realtors. Terefore, I can attest to the fact that Tara is a rare five star agent who provided top notch service to me. She went above and beyond to locate the perfect property for me after taking the time and making the effort to learn what property would be best suited to my needs and wants. I appreciated her always quick response to my many emails, texts and phone calls. Tara is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I recommend her to anyone who wants to be well satisfied with a real estate transaction.

I hired Tara to help me with the short sale of my condo. She knew all the steps in the process and…read morecould help me watch out for my credit all along the way. Thanks to Tara's strategy, marketing, and the improving market my condo went from being a short sale to have 17 offers in 7 days. 3 of those offers were above the break even point making the sale a regular home sale. Her quick reworking of the numbers, in consultation with me, meant I had a cash offer $50,000 above our list price. Even after the reality of not having to short sell my condo, she kept me aware of my credit score and my rights as a home owner. Tara was communicative, clear, knowledgable, and ethical through the whole process. She always answered my questions quickly and clearly. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

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!

I rented two apartments from timely properties over the course of two years and had many issues…read morewith them. Both units ended up getting mold, the first being black mold that ruined my bed and mattress. All timely did was offer a dehumidifier. The second apartment did not have a working water heater for the first 7 months of my stay due to them installing a new water heater that did not have the proper wattage, and not getting a permit from the city. Nothing was done to compensate me for their mistake. The toilet in the unit also did not have a wax ring for the first 8 months of me living there and was only discovered when there was a leak. When I gave proper notice and vacated the second unit they did not get my security deposit back to me for 6 1/2 weeks. They also constantly spelled my name wrong in interactions despite me correcting them several times. I never felt any kindness or empathy from the staff in my many interactions with them. The only reason for 2 stars is due to the somewhat affordable rent, and simple maintenance requests being fixed. Avoid renting from them if you can.
