It was all on a very tight timeline as well. David was amazingly professional through the entire process, which had more than it's share of challenges. He was aggressive with the seller and helped us get as good a deal as we could have ever expected. Even though the bank changed the goal posts about every third day, David made sure the required paperwork was on their desk on time. Every day I drive up our drive and see our house, I am grateful for the job David and Erika did. We just couldn't have done it without them. They really do care about doing a good job, and my experience with them was great every step of the way. Thanks again David and Erika!

I told them I was no longer a tenant in the building. The problem here is that I was told repeatedly there was no problem with the HVAC, even though I had notified the property management multiple times and was essentially brushed off. Now, after I'm gone, they realize it does actually need to be repaired and, based on what I can only assume is their incompetence, have the HVAC company contact me to arrange to fix it. Utterly ridiculous. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

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.

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.

Pretty surprised to see the one other horrible review of Above the Bay because honestly my…read moreexperience with them has been fine. Every time I called them to ask about application price, deposit, and scheduling a walk through when I eventually moved out, both the guy who runs it and female receptionist who answered were great. I've had prior landlords who would check in on tenants constantly almost to the point of spying, and wanted to nickel and dime even regular wear and tear. The guy just checked that faucets were working, toilets flushed, walls weren't noticeably damaged and that was it! The only reason they lose a star is because when we called to ask what the pet deposit was for a cat, they claimed pets weren't allowed. I reminded them that the last tenant (a friend of mine) had paid a deposit after getting a cat, and they responded with "oh, well you'd have to talk to the owner to approve that" (owner whose information they can't give out). So I guess if you're a pet owner trying to move in that would be the only gray area- I'm assuming with my friend they just pocketed the deposit and never let the owner know.

We were showed a home by Jon, the General Manager. He told us the house we were looking at was…read more$98,000. It had a porch on it. There was no "sold" sign anywhere on the house. However, when we emailed with some follow-up questions, the same house was over $100,000 plus $6,000 shipping. Plus another $4,000 for the porch. I inquired about the $98,000 show model. I received the following response: "Sorry I didn't mention it earlier to you but the home on my sales lot is already sold. We would have to order you a new one from our factory in Southern California." So the house that he told us was $98,000 was unavailable and was actually $110,000+. The kicker is: there were only three homes on the lot! So either Jon can't keep track of which of the 3 houses in his inventory are available for sale, or he was intentionally misleading.

Doug is by far the best agent we have ever worked with, and the best testimony to that fact is…read moreprobably, that we came back to him, when we wanted to sell our property four years after we bought it. As a buyers agent Doug helped us knock more than 20% off the asking price of a ranch that wasn't priced completely unreasonable in the first place. When both the seller and sellers agent took some rather irrational actions after close of escrow, Doug put in a huge effort to help us navigate that situation, even if his job was done and he had no obligation to do so. When we wanted to sell, Doug did a tremendous effort to market the house and helped get all the little things done to present the house in the best possible light. His advice and and guidance helped us sell the house, not only at a price that was acceptable to us, but also on terms that met all our wishes for a smooth transition and move. An added plus is that Doug has a comprehensive network of everything from handymen to contractors etc. and knows what things should cost, so you don't get taken to the cleaners when doing repairs and inspections. That alone has saved us thousands. I have no reservations non whatsoever recommending Doug Swanson to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home in the WineCountry.

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.
