Well, he was spot on! I worked with Jill who was the Gold Standard of service to my needs. When I had a question and emailed or called her, she got back to me immediately with the answers I needed. When it came to filling out a form I had trouble with, her patience was above and beyond what i deserved and she stayed with me until it was completed correctly. The only surprises I had were pleasant ones with a smooth closing that came on time in only 17 days! Thank you, Uptown Escrow Services, and thank you, Jill!!

Michelle is amazing: your search for the best real estate agent ends with Michelle! I interviewed…read moremultiple real estate agents and Michelle stood out above and beyond as being the clear best! Michelle knows the market really well - she has a great pulse for what is going on, what each of the sub-neighborhoods are like, other lake/Association issues that might effect purchasing and selling, etc. Another great thing about Michelle as a buyer's agent is that she doesn't rush you into a home just so she can get a commission - I love how Michelle will point out negatives in a home that I might not notice (like deferred maintenance, water damage, etc. that I would not have noticed) because she truly is looking out for you and not just trying to quickly close a deal. Michelle truly cares about finding you the best home and will even wait months & months (or even years like she did with us!) and never complain about touring tons of homes with you until you find what is the best fit and checks all of your boxes. Michelle makes it her mission to find her clients their perfect home - and never settle! So here's the thing: I have an intense attention to detail PLUS I've had a real estate license for two-decades, so I have way high expectations when selecting a real estate agent to represent me and Michelle has exceeded all of my incredibly high expectations! I really appreciated how Michelle would photograph or video a home for me if one came on the market while I was out of town and couldn't make it up to Lake Arrowhead to view it - that is just one example of how caring she is! I also love how detail oriented & attentive Michelle is and she truly has your best interests in mind! We appreciate Michelle's experience and great judgment on if a property will be a good fit. Michelle also has studied interior design so she has a great eye for what would go well in a home you buy and for staging homes she sells. Michelle doesn't do anything less than amazing - all of her photos, marketing, pricing, everything is top notch! As a seller's agent she portrays your home in the best possible light and is really incredible at marketing. Michelle is an above and beyond agent! Even after the close of your home, Michelle has a great network of contractors that she can refer you to for maintenance or upgrades for your home. Everyone Michelle has referred me to has been top notch! Also, Michelle is just a super cool person - I enjoy spending time with her and during the process of finding us our ideal home she has become a friend! In addition to being privileged to work with the best real estate agent on the mountain, I just enjoy hanging out with Michelle! If the little details matter to you and you want an agent who you feel truly has your back & best interests in mind - then Michelle is the agent for you. We couldn't be happier with our experience because she found and secured us our dream home - and I gained a friend in the process!

We purchased a home in Lake Arrowhead this past October (2020) and Michelle was our agent. I…read morealready had a sense it was a competitive market and we couldn't afford to get into bidding wars so I knew we had to select the best agent possible to work for us. I did a lot of online research and sleuthing, a lot of the other agents in L/A seemed 'typical & vanilla', what I liked about Michelle was the way she put herself out there online, and appeared to have an excellent working knowledge of the area. We locked in Michelle immediately to begin our hunt. In a matter of weeks we saw over 20 places in Lake Arrowhead and Michelle was brutally honest at times, feelings had to be put aside as I realized that she wasn't just trying to get us into 'any' house and get us off her books, she didn't want to see us over pay or end up with something that needed more 'fixing' (hello, lipstick on a pig) than we could afford. After a number of weeks and many trips to Lake Arrowhead we found the right place for us, escrow was super smooth, Michelle and her team stayed in close contact through the entire process (much more enjoyable than our first home buying experience) We closed early. But here's the real magic with Michelle, she gave us SO MUCH intel on Lake Arrowhead, the pro's the con's and the how's and the when's on how to thrive and survive in Lake Arrowhead. We have friends that moved here 18-month before us and my Wife (Janeva) and I are informing them on things about Lake Arrowhead, on top of that we had new neighbors move in recently near us as a snow storm hit, and they were completely unprepared, their agent gave them no intel at all on the area. Michelle not only helped us secure our home that we absolutely love, but she gave us a head start to mountain living that has us years ahead of others. If you're serious about wanting to buy OR sell a property in Lake Arrowhead you would be a fool to not use Michelle, you will need to be realistic though as she'll most certainly be real with you.

Where do I even start! This incredible woman completely singlehandedly made my dreams of becoming…read morea homeowner come true! She is a woman of integrity and pure heart. She literally held my hand the entire process, from the time we started touring properties to the last moment when I signed papers and got the keys! She went out of her way day and night to keep me informed of every step. She comforted us every time there were set backs in the process, she fed my kids pizza when we had to come out to the property for inspection, she stayed on the phone with me countless number of times to explain every process in detail, she literally was at my side 24/7 from beginning to end. She clearly is about making her clients her number one priority. Genelle made sure I got the best deal possible and fought for me when things went south. She never left me high and dry or confused, at any time, during the process. She was never unavailable, she answered every single call and every single email. She literally handled all the footwork so I didn't have to. Do not go with an agent that is only concerned with their commission, you want someone like Genelle in your corner. Trust me, buying a home is NOT easy, there are so many steps, so many rules, you do NOT want to go into this process without someone like Genelle guiding you. As a first time home buyer I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to get through this process without her. The process is long and grueling and extremely bipolar with many ups and downs. The average person, even after researching, can not navigate this process effectively without a trained professional (with years of experience) like Genelle and her team. I highly recommend Genelle Rich with Easterby and Associates. I will always be grateful to this woman for making my dream come true!

Hey anyone looking for an outsatanding sale or finding your perfect home, look no further then…read moreEasterby-Keller Williams, in Big Bear, CA. Genelle Rich was my realtor. I lived in Silver Lakes, in the middle of the desert. I wanted to move to Victorville, and Genelle made the 1 1/2 hour trip, from Big Bear, several times, helping me find my perfect house. She went above and beyond. I didn't want to list my home til I had moved out, so Genelle had professional pictures taken. Put the house on the market a week before it was to be seen. We had the first showing on Friday and by Sunday I had three offers. She moved me through the buying of my new and the sale of my old, with care, responsible action and kept me in the loop, through the entire process. It was the most pain free real estate experience I have ever had. I would definitely recommend Genelle for any of your real estate needs. She is so professional and knows the business. Thank you, Judy Rich

What really set him apart was how much he handled behind the scenes. He negotiated effectively on our behalf and made sure every part of the process was aligned for a smooth and successful purchase. He coordinated everything we needed--from the home inspection to connecting us with a great insurance broker--and even helped us think through some early maintenance items after closing. Brad made the entire process feel organized, thoughtful, and well managed. We always felt like he had our best interests in mind and was advocating for us every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in helping you land the right home, we can't recommend him highly enough.

I had the pleasure of referring some dear friends interested in purchasing property in the region to Brad, confident in his deep understanding of the local market dynamics, especially concerning short- and long-term rental opportunities. Brad didn't just meet expectations; he exceeded them by not only showcasing properties but also by educating my clients on which areas would be most advantageous for a rental property. His expertise shone through as he navigated through the complexities of city regulations, ensuring that my clients were well aware of the rules impacting rental properties in Big Bear. It was this detailed attention to regulatory details that really underscored the advisory role Brad played throughout the buying process. What I appreciate most about working with Brad is that he's a true consultant--walking clients through each step with the perfect balance of knowledge and patience. My buyers were incredibly grateful for the referral to someone I trust, and just as I had hoped, they felt completely at ease making a well-informed decision. In a competitive and often complex housing market, Brad is a standout agent whose expertise becomes an invaluable asset to anyone looking to buy or invest in Big Bear. If you want an agent who couples deep knowledge of the local market with an earnest dedication to his clients, Brad is your go-to professional.
