I can't say enough great things about working with Lora. We…read morewere in a unique situation looking for a home to purchase for my husband's parents. We don't live in the area, so Lora gave us very good advice about which neighborhoods to look at that would have what we wanted- walkable, close drive to shopping, well maintained homes, low traffic, low crime. We found a great home in Little Chico Creek Estates that had exactly what we were looking for, was mobility friendly, and move-in ready. We were able to close our sale quickly, and Lora proved to be an excellent negotiator, sticking firm to our offer price. We felt good knowing that we had someone in our corner really willing to roll up her sleeves and go to bat for us! Lora is really the total package- knowledgable, experienced, ethical, and also very warm and kind with top notch communication skills, just a really wonderful person!

Kym Campbell exceeded all of our expectations for a realtor, and was helpful in ways that go way…read morebeyond the job description of a real estate agent. We were out of town sellers, and when issues arose, she took care of them in an efficient, effective manner, that spared us additional trips to Chico. She met us at the title company, and was there to guide us through each step. When she was away on vacation, she always had someone knowledgeable available to help us and answer our questions. We appreciate Kym's down to earth, honest approach. She is genuinely kind, generous, and thoughtful, in addition to being an unusually knowledgeable real estate professional.

The other 2 winners were national real estate chains Century 21 and Coldwell Banker, but this smaller company stood up to the competition in this small town. That has to tell you they are doing something right when it comes to marketing. If they're that good at marketing their business, wouldn't they be equally as impressive in marketing your home for sale? They only have about 10 Realtors, but they are some of the best in the biz. Each of them was hand picked for their savvy marketing techniques, charismatic personalities, and impeccable client approval ratings. This small office is location just off the Esplanade (1st left after Shasta going North on Esplanade) in an office development built in 2006. Their office is neat, clean, new, and incredibly professional looking. I wouldn't mind having meetings with my Realtor there! This office is responsible for some of the most cutting edge and high tech marketing. Have you seen their signs around town? Yeah, they're the beautiful white posts with finials at the ends and their elegant dark green and gold logo pops against the white background of the signs. It just says "we're worth every penny". W. M. Campbell provides real estate services the way the should be, with a smile and an eagerness to please the client. They do what it takes and they love what they do.

Not only is she and her team very detail oriented and responsive during the entire process, they continue to keep you informed with market updates, local events, and even special events they put on exclusively for their clients.

I have worked with a few different realtors and she is hands-down, the best!!! She looked for exactly what our family needed and wanted!

I will highly recommend her to everyone!!! Peggy deserves a reward for her amazing worth ethic!!

I was very satisfied and pleased with Christina Souther's efforts to help me buy a house in…read moreParadise. Compared to five other local agents in town I had dealt with, Christina was excellent in all aspects of my purchase, including helping with my own due diligence by visiting town hall and searching public records on my behalf. As an out-of-town buyer that was very important to me, essential even. She also had the utilities turned on for the inspections and scheduled them. I was happy with her recommendations for inspectors. As well, she was timely and exact in replying to my many e-mails. Christina is a local girl, born 'n breed in Paradise. She can tell you things about neighborhoods unknown to agents who migrated in since the year 2000. I'll tell you about a few other agents I worked with so you'll understand what a jewel Christina is. The first one showed up at our first meeting without her special realtor's key to open lock boxes. I had to wait around until she went home and got the key. We looked at 10 or 15 houses that day, all ones I myself had found on the Internet. When we get back to the office, this kid asks if I want to make an offer on one of the places we looked. I'm thinking, "What a twit! I'm brand new to town, this is out first meeting, and already she's putting the pushy, hard-sell on me." On my second visit to look at more houses, she sends me an e-mail telling me this one place could be by "retreat". Another pushy sales technique to win a commission without doing much work. After the third trip to town I was ready to make an offer. Funny thing, it was on a house I had seen on my first visit. The kid brings in an experienced agent to assist in writing the offer. The sellers countered with a list of complicated conditions with grammatical and typographical errors. Rather than go back and forth with an offer, counter-offers, and counter counter-offers, I proposed writing a new offer. The experienced agent refused to do that. She said it would make her look unprofessional to write a new offer. Another agent worried more about herself and her commission than about helping me buy a house. I dumped them both and got on the Internet to find a new agent. One guy--you see his photo all around town--took two days to reply to my e-mail. Another sent me a kidde text with misspellings and the address wrong. Christina's reply was honest and well-written. She wrote a new offer on the house. That deal feel through when I came to believe both the sellers and their agent were dishonest with their disclosures. No matter, I bought another house. The purchase went very smoothly. Christina keep everything on track. Something I learned is how much work a buyer's agent must do after the contract is signed. For example, keeping an eye on the other agent, informing her own client, working with the lender, setting up escrow (which went perfectly) and a ton of other stuff.. All went well and we closed two weeks early. In summary, my experiences with Christina over almost two months convinced me that I made an excellent choice to help me find and buy a house.

Talk about going the extra mile. I guess Better Choice really is the better choice…read more My family and I recently purchased a property through Better Choice. From day one Megan Galantine was accessible, thorough, and a complete pleasure to work with. After the closing she was meeting me at the property to give me the keys. It is out in the country and my truck broke down on the way. I had no cell service in the area. She not only waited at the property for nearly an hour for me to show, but once I was able to call her from this little country store, she drove to where I was and insisted on waiting with me until help arrived. She even drove to where the cell service was better, found a tow service, called them, and then drove back to wait with me. Who does stuff like that these days? Thanks, Megan.

It pains me to write this, but the bottom line here is that what Sima did, or more importantly…read moredidn't do, hurt us horrifically and could hurt others, too. The quick of it is: Sima did not do comps prior to listing our home. She overpriced it and then wanted to drop it dramatically 13 days in. When we attempted to address numerous issues with her, we kept getting "I thought we were friends". Um, we can be friendly, but no, this is business. Instead of focusing on saleable elements, Sima recommended repairs and replacements on items that, in the grand scheme of it, were completely unjustified. She knew the curb appeal would be critical, yet we spent 10 hours with her handyman swapping out 4 hard water stained toilets instead. We don't sell houses for a living and, to our detriment, relied upon her expertise to guide us which, in hindsight, we should have questioned. But isn't that why you're paying that commission? Hiring a professional? The day after the contract expired, shortly after our first responder went to sleep, there was a knock at the door followed by the turn of a key and someone calling into the foyer. It was an agent saying he had an appointment. Behind him were his clients. According to him he reached out to Sima the day before to schedule the viewing. She failed to notify me and failed to inform him that the contract would be expired. The agent was very kind and left with his clients, leaving the key from the lockbox with me. When I texted Sima instructing her to remove the signage and lockbox immediately, she said it would have to be the following day. I firmly said no, it would have to be immediately. [See text messages herein] The story doesn't end there. We since learned that Sima had slandered us and have recorded evidence. We question her ethics as she proved to be grossly negligent at a number of levels. If you are considering using her to broker your home, we highly encourage you to look elsewhere. Chico is inundated with brokers.
