What better compliment can you pay a realtor than to hire her twice? When we were ready for our…read moresecond house purchase in three years we didn't hesitate to call Nicole. Our most recent transaction was complex and involved a major renovation project. Nicole was able to effectively coordinate with appraisers, our lender, and the seller's trust. Nicole was always focused and working to get the transaction done; including being alert to problems after business hours or on weekends; without her advice and guidance the project would never have happened.

Completely impersonal! My younger brother went through a terrible divorce and had to sale his home…read more Home was listed under market value according to house sold around his. Agent failed to explain important contract decisions to him and seemed to only be about the buyer. My brother and mother were forced out early. Per contract they had till the 12th, both had to stay with me on my couches. My brother asked to hold off on final walk and handing over keys to buyer early and was told no we cannot. I was there for this conversation! He lost time and money on the sale of his first home he's purchased. Avoid Randy Johnson and this Cornerstone reality company!

My sisters were in charge of researching the most experienced and highly-rated realtor for our…read morecountry property. My 93 year dad had decided to sell the family home after living there, 60+ years. Well, we found him! There isn't enough space or time to share how Randy Thomas worked his magic with honesty, rectitude and integrity, which was EXTREMELY important for the Realtor who would sell our family home. We knew he was the one when he started researching house info with the county before we were finished googling/interviewing top rated realtors in the area, and had even hired him. My sister did the research for an experienced, professional, knowledgable, and highly-rated realtor, with wonderful reviews. She was spot on with her recommendation. She suggested Randy Thomas, and from the first day til now, we never looked back. Randy was extremely accessible, responded to emails and texts quickly, and kept our family abreast of what we were up against or what we needed to do. When we got depressed with emptying out the property for the new buyer, Randy encouraged us and kept our spirits up. When we had an issue looking for a septic tank (the family couldn't remember where the company put it) my husband, a friend, and Randy took turns shoveling in the heat of the day, all trying to find that pot of ... "gold." When Randy had our phone conference with the sisters and Dad, to discuss all those interested in buying our place, he laid out all the bids and their paperwork, and discussed each bid with the family. Needless to say, ALL of us were aghast at how many bids there were! Randy knew exactly what to do to get the estate ready for showing, and it all paid off! Would I recommend Mr. Randy Thomas? In a nano-second! My dad and sisters felt we hit the JACKPOT with Randy Thomas, and by reading other clients' reviews, it looks like others felt the same way! PS. My dad is 94 in less than a month, and he's still grinning from ear to ear. And my name is Kami S., NOT J.

Cristy is truly the best of the best! When my sister recommended her, I was scared, nervous, and a…read morecomplete anxious mess because I knew nothing about buying a home. From day one, Cristy made the entire process so much easier. Her attention to detail, patience, knowledge, and meticulous approach gave me confidence every step of the way. On top of that, her fun and positive personality made what I thought would be a stressful experience actually enjoyable. A huge thank you to her husband, Johnny, as well. The two of them were an incredible team and helped both my husband and me throughout the entire process. They were always there to answer our questions, calm our nerves, and guide us every step of the way. My sister wasn't lying when she said Cristy was the best of the best. I truly couldn't have asked for a better team, and I'm so grateful to have had Cristy and Johnny by our side during such an important milestone. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, you'll be in the best hands!

Staci is a rockstar real estate professional, and we give her our highest recommendation!…read more In a hot market of 2021, we had difficulty for months selling our condo in Manteca California with another agent. Only a few condominiums in our development had sold in the prior several years, and we had a buyer fall out of escrow just before closing. Starting over, Staci was recommended to represent us for the sale of our condo. We're so grateful to have listed with Staci as she had the condo sold within days! From our first discussions, Staci was professional and direct, setting clear expectations and goals. Staci has a thorough understanding of the local market and her team was a pleasure to work with. The first day of the listing, Staci had several offers for our condo. Even more impressive, the winning offer was all cash at full asking price and the buyer came from Staci's professional network! Proving it's not only what you know but who you know, and Staci is the right real estate pro to know. From listing to closing Staci and her team were there every step of the way. If you're looking to buy or sell a home or any real estate connect with Staci!

Staci checked all of our boxes and delivered on our expectations throughout the entire process of…read moreselling our house. She was thorough in every aspect and made the mountain of paperwork you sign easy to understand! Unfortunately, we were on a tight timeline and needed to sell the house in less than 60 days. Staci pulled it off in just over 30 days. She made us a priority and ensured every weekend we held an open house to increase the traffic to our home outside of one off private showings. I recommend Staci for your buying and selling needs! Thank you Staci for all that you and your team did to get our house sold and making it feel so seamless and easy.

I've looked at all these reviews and there was one where someone said she is a "pit bull with…read morelipstick" and, honestly, that sums her up. Marianne is so knowledgeable, hardworking, and will fight to the end of the earth for her clients. She also deeply cares for the people she represents. I know she's working in my best interest always. She handled the sale of my mom's home that was within a trust, out of the area, and filled with two generations of stuff. I was an emotional wreck and she came in and guided me through it all. We got over asking, all cash deal within 10 days of going to market. Above and beyond work every day -- from clean up, to prep, to staging, to marketing, to negotiating. I'm just so fortunate to have had Marianne represent me. I can't emphasize enough how hard the whole selling decision was for me. She was patient, we explored various options together. When we ultimately decided the right decision was to sell, she sprang into action and got it done quickly so I could move on from a heartbreaking situation. Her style is uniquely hers. There's no bullshit. Marianne is going to tell it to you straight, but I personally wouldn't want it any other way. I can't say enough great things about Marianne!!! Hire her; you won't regret it.

My husband and I are first time landlords and despite not having a background in real estate, we…read moretried to manage our property ourselves. Everything was fine until the tenant stopped paying, and anyone who has dealt with these issues knows how stressful it can be. Lost and extremely frustrated, I called Marianne after doing some research on Yelp. Marianne was completely calm, confident, and professional. She quickly gathered basic information about us, the property, and the tenant. She informed us that she will be taking over and assured us that we will regain possession of the property. By that evening she had already sent over all the necessary DocuSign's and within the next couple days she was negotiating with the tenant on our behalf. Removing tenants for non-payment is devastating for both parties, so Marianne was firm, but also kind and compassionate. She was able to repossess the home within 15 days, without having to go through the process of an eviction, which was our goal from the beginning. Communication was always very quick, clear, and concise. My husband and I had so many questions since it was our first time going through something like this. She has a very extensive knowledge of real estate, the laws involved, and in general how tenants tend to behave, but she was also very patient and thorough when advising us. As someone that runs her own business and manages 100+ properties, Marianne is obviously a very busy person. I expected her staff to communicate with us after the tenant vacated the property. However, Marianne was our point of contact the entire time, which was very impressive. Marianne did not collect a penny from us during the entire tenant removal process, which really speaks to her confidence in her abilities as a property manager and her generosity as well. She is also well connected in the real estate space as all the references she provided to prepare the property for the next tenant were excellent. Our home was on the market for less than 2 weeks when she presented 2 solid potential tenants. Given how smoothly everything went up until this point, we were completely confident in letting her decide which tenant would suit us best. When we finally got to meet her in person, she told us that she takes care of all her properties like they are her own and after witnessing her work, it's clear that the service she provides is a direct reflection of her genuine passion for real estate and helping people. If you are looking to rent out your property, we absolutely recommend working with a property management group, but specifically, Marianne. Thank you Marianne. We appreciate everything that you have done for us, and we look forward to working with you for a long time!

After relocating overseas, I thought it would be extremely difficult to sell my home without being…read morein the country. Carol was not only extremely friendly and professional, she went above and beyond to help me find the right contractors and materials needed to update the home without blowing out the budget. She helped me every step of the way and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my friends and family because I know she would provide the same amazing level of service to them.

Carol made buying a house easy…read more This was the 3rd home I had purchased. The other 2 times, I was married. My ex husband worked directly with the realtor and bank. He used the same realtor for both transactions. This time, I wanted to find a different realtor. A true fresh start. I heard great things about Carol and saw that she had several positive Yelp listings. The minute I met her, I realized that I was getting superior service -- the likes I had not experienced before. Carol wants to help people find homes that they can afford - a place for folks to root and become part of the community. She made sure to talk to me about Mello Roos - something I was unfamiliar with and depending on the home we found -- could make qualifying difficult. Every comp she pulled, she made sure to review the tax expectations with me. We visited a home that I fell in love with. It was beautiful. But Carol keenly picked up on the neighboring tree roots that had taken over the back yard. She provided risk assessment and gave me ideas to mitigate risk -- should I intend to put an offer on the house. We ended up NOT going for that property. I appreciate her calling that to my attention. It was clear to me at that time that Carol is not motivated by the size of her commission - she wants to help people find the RIGHT home. Carol has established relationships with builders and property assessment vendors. This trusted relationship provided me as her client quick turn around of information and opportunities. She is respected by her peers. Even the sellers of my home loved working with Carol and would have tried to snatch her from me, if they could have :). Carol worked with my Lender effortlessly. This was a new Lender for her to work with and she was incredibly efficient with her communication. We did not have any transaction delays because they worked so well together (HOMESTREET LENDING -- awesome place!). Carol picked up her phone when I texted or called. When you are in the middle of a real estate transaction - you want to be able to get a hold of your realtor quickly. Thank you Carol for never leaving me alone with my spinning questions :) If you are looking for a realtor -- I assume you are looking for someone to help you navigate through this process (which changes depending on the market) and you need a partner who will look out for YOUR best interest. Someone who will represent you. I assume that you need to trust and have confidence in your agent. I had this with Carol -- I would highly recommend her to ANYONE looking to purchase or sell a property. She knows a great deal about her market and how to treat her customers. Happy Hunting!

When we were finally approved and ready to start looking, she went above and beyond to make sure we had every opportunity to find the right home. She rearranged her schedule, made herself available at odd hours, and was always ready to jump in whenever we needed her. Rachel made what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel as smooth as possible, even with all the inevitable bumps along the way. She was kind, thoughtful, patient, and supportive every step of the way. She even helped us work through escrow issues while she was on vacation. Talk about going above and beyond! We are incredibly grateful to Rachel for everything she did to help our family achieve this dream. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. And if we ever move again, there is no question that Rachel will be our first call!

Wanted to leave a 5 star review for Patsy, owner of Bay Area Escrow Services…read more To be honest, I almost posted a 1 star review for one of the workers who seemed new at the job. I had called him one time asking a question to confirm the escrow number for the wire of my deposit and he rudely answered me when it was not clear on the document. He would also not answer my email questions and seemed to only care about getting his job done or what he needed. I was in an escrow that cancelled very early close to after wiring the deposit and not much had happened yet from the escrow side. I was very ticked off when I saw a proposed $450 escrow fee taken out of my deposit when all they did was receive a deposit and start their escrow process internally. It seemed like they wanted to hold my deposit hostage to charge a high fee to cover their 'admin work.' After getting no response from this worker again and running it by the real estate agent, I called in and Patsy knew what was going on with this file and even though frustrated, she agreed to pay back the full deposit in this situation. I feel that Patsy is sharp, experienced and fair when it comes to people. I could also tell that she works hard to prevent any wires being sent to a scammer/wrong person. Thank you.
