I am finally getting around to expressing my gratitude to John and Richard, who represented us as…read moresellers for our house in Monte Rio. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and knowledge of the market. They were so great to work with, and made everything seem easy for us. They were able to connect us with all the right people to get the house prepped and ready for sale. We were fortunate to receive an all-cash offer and close the deal within an impressive 10 days, thanks to the dedication and expertise of John and Richard. From efficiently setting up inspections to providing valuable guidance on necessary repairs, they made what could have been a daunting process remarkably smooth. Richard and John are true professionals in navigating the market and I am grateful we were referred to them to sell our home in Monte Rio. Thank you, John and Richard, for making the sale of our house a positive and successful experience!

From the moment I met Richard at the initial meet, I knew I had met the right representative. He immediately had a plan that took into account the aspects of the sale that most may have found challenging. We had few surprise issues ( neighbor and rain issue ) that Richard and John handled with ease. If I was buying or selling, esp in the River area, I would only use John and Richard. I felt so supported during the whole transaction and trust Richard and John implicitly.

Third time really was a charm...and DAVID MILLAR was mine! After two unsuccessful listings, he…read morewas the third realtor to take on my home, and the one who sold it. From our very first meeting, when he sat comfortably on my couch and spoke with me, as though we've known each other for years, I felt at ease. His approach was genuine, relaxed, and reassuring. That ease carried through the entire process. Once he set things in motion, his marketing expertise was immediately evident. My family and friends reached out almost daily asking, " Have you seen DAVID's latest video of your home? It's incredible!" and they were right...his videos were beautifully done, and his commentary was both informative and engaging. DAVID promised from the beginning that he would stay in constant communication throughout the entire process, and he absolutely delivered. He responded quickly to every text and phone call, and never once made me feel like I was a bother. My home sold quickly, and I credit that to David's professional, professionalism, creativity, and dedication. I am sincerely grateful for DAVID's outstanding work. Thank you David!

David Millar's professionalism and commitment to detail goes above and beyond all expectations…read more His knowledge of the house search and purchasing process is so refined that working with him was effortless on our part. When we wanted to go look at a new house or back to one we had already looked at, he was there and available with knowledge and advice with a keen eye for details that as a new buyer I didn't know to look for. When we decided on a house to make an offer on, David wrote up the contract and we had an accepted offer within 48 hours! From start to keys in our hands was 20 days and David was by our side every step of the way. I would highly recommend David Millar and Russian River Land and Home for any of your real estate needs.

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.

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.

Since everything had gone so well with selling my home with Kimberly and James. I decided to have them help me find my new home as well. This was not an easy task because the market was incredibly tough. And I am a very picky person. Kimberly and James have true grit! They have unwavering values. Through it all they displayed loyalty, commitment and honesty. They were there for me every step of the way.

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!

Would not work with again…read more Debra represented me as a buyer on a property she listed. My offer was accepted and at first it seemed like she was enthusiastic about helping me, but didn't follow through on commitments she made and rarely contacted me except the occasional text. Luckily, when my original loan fell through Debra referred me to a great local lender that was able to get me approved and closed quickly. It felt like I was doing more due diligence and not like I had hired an agent to be an advocate for me. Things fell through the cracks that I ended up following up on, like not sending me the initial deposit request, not going through any documents with me besides emailing them to me to sign, and not even discussing a home warranty. She committed to have a cleaner visit one space in the house to de-odorize it, then said she would bring over the cleaning product for me, then she said she would "try" to bring it over. I kind of got the idea that I wasn't valuable to her as a client because I had a very low house budget and probably a lot lower income than more favored clients. Inspections got done quickly but they missed a big rodent infestation and it seemed like she was a little more buddy buddy with the inspectors and concerned with getting them done quickly rather than hiring for their expertise. She was evasive and didn't answer when I asked her how she was discounting the commission for the seller since she was also representing me as a buyer. Debra sent me a congratulations text when the transaction was finalized and left the house keys in a flower pot. When I brought up some issues after the transaction that I felt she had ignored, her response was that because I worked in a real estate office that she assumed I knew about everything. Uhhh really? So she was my agent and being paid commission for what? I have my house and I love it but I would have definitely secured a different agent if I had known I wasn't going to be respected or well represented.

Friendly, kind, unflinchingly honest, and always on our side, Theresa was exactly the kind of realtor we needed. We were (past tense, thanks Theresa!) first-time homebuyers and had rented for nearly 20 years - we knew nothing about how to buy a home or even where to start. Theresa patiently walked us through each step, and gave us candid advice about each home we viewed. She picked us up and spent sometimes the entire day with us looking at houses, and she was friendly and pleasant the whole time. Theresa also has a knack for matchmaking - we bought our dream place the day it listed, since we were the first to see it, thanks to Theresa. She had already figured out that we would love the place when we saw it. And we did! I'm writing several months after escrow closed, and I love our home more than ever. Theresa is a wonderful realtor - we would choose to work with her again without hesitation.

Evan Kishineff came highly recommended by our son, and after working with him to purchase our home,…read morewe completely understand why. In all our years of buying real estate, we have never encountered an agent of Evan's caliber. He is the ultimate professional-consummate, knowledgeable, and thoroughly diligent-yet incredibly warmhearted and personable. Because we were buying from out-of-state, the process could have been quite stressful. Instead, Evan blew us away by going above and beyond. He sent us detailed home videos, guided us through local building requirements, and communicated daily with us and all essential parties. Despite his busy schedule, he made us feel like we were his only clients and we are ever so grateful to Evan. His integrity, patience, and thorough advice successfully secured us the home we love. We highly recommend Evan to anyone looking to buy or sell. Evan Kishineff is simply the best!
