In the hottest seller's market in decades, Robert got us a house we loved. The details are…read moreremarkable: we actually lost the bidding war, but Robert made us fill out a back-up offer, even though at the time he agreed it was almost pointless because no one would give up a house in this market when they had put in the winning bid. But rare things do occur: the winners backed out and we were suddenly in first position because of that back-up offer. Sensing that sellers would not want to have a second offer fall through (which would require a return to the market), Robert negotiated a new *lower* price for the house--despite our initial apprehensions. And sure enough, he got us a better number. But long before this success, Robert had impressed us. When my wife and I would go to open houses and the agent there would ask us who our agent was, the reply of "Robert Ramirez" would often evoke "We love Robert!" or "You have one of the best agents around." Everyone we spoke with told us how much they liked Robert. And this is important--an agent who is liked and trusted by other agents is able to help much more than one who is not trusted. Add to this Robert's 40+ years of selling homes in Petaluma and you're going to eventually find success with him like we did. One final note: no matter how busy Robert was (including a week when he was on vacation in Hawaii), he always answered the phone and our emails promptly. If he couldn't talk right away, he called us back shortly after. There was not a single day in our long search when we were unsure about something because Robert had not gotten back to us. He really, truly cares about doing things right.

As first time home buyers in a competitive market, Robert skillfully guided us through a lengthy and complex home buying process that resulted in us buying a home that is absolutely perfect for us. Robert seems to know all the key people in Petaluma and has been a realtor in the area for so long that he can tell you an endless amount of detail about every specific neighborhood and even specific streets. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone moving to Petaluma, especially other first time home buyers!

Kelly Ann G. is completely correct. I purchased a new home already set up in the park with a…read moreone-year warranty in place in 2023. Within one month, the primary shower leaked all over my new floors. Initially people tried to help at the sales office but I grew so angry with the delays by the factory in Perris, (an 8-hour drive away from which their imminently unqualified workers drive from), that Robin told me, "I am not their customer" because I didn't buy direct from the sales office, but the man who installed it and sold it to me did. You need to know that the state of California protects manufacted home owners with an additional one-year warranty because without that, I saw the strategy of the factory was to outwait the warranty expiration. Their corporate lawyer told me they would no longer help me after the warranty expired and I had to remind him of my legal rights, which I'm sure he knew. I believe becaause the majority of their buyers here are seniors, they hope to dupe them. It truly amounts to elder abuse. It took me 19-months to get the shower fixed, one I couldn't use for half of the time, after black mold developed. It was so bad I had to move out. My new floor was destroyed. Along the way, the exterior paint proved defective (to which they painted it because I let them know the park was talking). The paint job the factory workers did was abysmal. Paint spattered all over the stone on the unit and pavement because they didn't use tarps, nor did they power wash the dirt off. Ultimately, the shower leakage was due to an defective install at the factory, which had to be torn out and replaced. The shower pan squeaks (it wasn't mounted correctly) and the door had been installed backwards by their factory workers, who Ros Cabral assured me were qualified to install this. They were not. It finally took an outside contractor to fix it. You should see the scraps of lumber they used to build the surround. Now, the mirror in the bath is oxidizing, the door hardware is rusting (they didn't use stainless steel) and the kitchen drawers are falling into the cabinets below because the hardware they used was so cheap. Steer clear of this company. It is and was a nightmare dealing with them. I could go on. This wasn't all. I'm looking forward to moving out of here.

She answered question after question over several months and never appeared put-out with my unending queries. if you are in the market for a manufactured home, give Jennifer a call. She will not steer you wrong. It has been a looong hard haul getting into my Clayton Home. I am thrilled with the home so far, but it is early days. The difficulties came from the county permitting process and PG&E. Their requirements for West County have been tightened to the point of discouraging folks from building all together unless you have unlimited funds. I had an old cabin that we disintegrating. I had the cabin demolished and a manufactured home placed on the property. I am a senior on a limited budget and every week a new regulation came up with the associated fees and paperwork to the tune of thousands of extra dollars added to the price of the home and contractor. I expected permit fees but the new regulations are beyond any expected. After 2-1/2 years of back and forth with the county, I am still awaiting the final approval on the permits. HOPEFULLY, all will be complete in the next few weeks. I am a bit concerned about the complaints I have read about Clayton Homes following up with repairs post sales. People often only post reviews to vent rather than posting about positive experiences, so I hope that any repairs I may need are done well and swiftly.

If it had not been for CIndy's dedication and perseverance, neither of these transactions would have gone through. A lesser agent would have given up after dealing with months of roadblocks... but because of Cindy, I am now a proud owner of two properties that are steadily increasing in value. Cindy is a longtime resident and knows the neighborhoods well, and is generous with information and advice. She has a laid-back, level-headed style and always works toward the client's best interest. She gets things done without ever being pushy. As demonstrated in my transactions, she works through issues with diplomacy and tact and makes things more pleasant for all involved. I've recommended Cindy to several of my friends, and she will remain my first choice in the future.

Over the past 7 years Cindy Cunningham helped me buy and sell property in Sonoma County on four…read moreseperate occasions. Some of the transactions have been difficult and overwhelming for me, but she guided me and helped me every step of the way. I did not feel alone in this because of her. Her expertise is off the charts, her tenactiy and integrity are even beyond that! I have found that with her if you are just in the looking stages, she will work with you and tell you what you can afford and what programs may be available to you. She will also send you listings via the computer or print them out for you to study. If you are listing your home to sell, she will help you prepare for that so that you can market your home in a way that will get you the highest dollar amount. If you are ready to actually purchase a home, she will work endlessly with you until you find the home that was "meant to be" for you. If you find that after searching you are just not ready, she understands this and will gladly put things on hold until the time is right for you. No guilt or pressure ever. She TRULY wants what is in the best interest of her client. She treats a small sale with just as much care and dignity as she would a large sale. Dollar value of a property is not the motivating factor for her, making sure your needs are met properly is her priority. Many difficulties can arise with a real estate transaction, Cindy handles them as they come up and resolves them as quickly as possible and makes it appear effortless (even though most of the time it is anything but) She does whatever it takes to move forward minus the drama. She is always striving for the best outcome for all parties. She also is VERY good at helping people with Estate properties. This can be a trying time for families, but she listens very carefully to the needs of all parties involved and remains neutral in order to produce a fair outcome that will be pleasing to all. Over the recent years she is becoming more and more experienced in the whole "Estate" process. She also has great contacts that she can refer you too such as Lenders, Estate Attorneys, etc. No matter what stage you are at in your life, Cindy has a way of gently connecting you to your next step in a highly professional and caring manner. I would highly recommend Cindy. Everything that I have mentioned in this review I have experienced first hand with her. Up until my Father's passing (approximately 12 years ago) he was an Owner/Broker/Agent of a very successful Real Estate company in another area. He had 30 years experience and was highly respected for his abilities as well as his intergrity. From time to time I worked with him at his office and was often involved in the business in various capacities. From my late teen-age years until before his passing, I was always exposed to the business and many of the wonderful agents that worked with with my dad. Having said that, I feel that I this is a good reference point to draw from so that I can honestly testify that Cindy is totally top notch! Wisdom+Experience+Heart=Cindy Cunningham
