In a world where so many real estate agents ask for similar compensation, Jeff truly earned every penny. We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone for buying or selling.

Eric Hatch knows real estate. Eric Hatch follows through with what he he says he is going to do…read more Eric Hatch is a person of his word. "Let Eric Handle It" is what he stated when my sister and I needed to place our elderly mother in assisted living. Prior to listing the home in Nevada City, an estate sale and disposal of items was necessary. Eric handled it all in a very short time. He is responsive to our questions and concerns regarding the entire process. Eric Hatch is truly one-of-a-kind.

She takes the time to understand the needs of both buyers and sellers, and has deep knowledge of the market, the area, and how to get a home through escrow.

Within only a few days, she had professional pictures done, staged our house, and put it on the market. She was always checking on our house, while we were out of state. We even had a water leak, and she sent her handy man right away to get it fixed. She did an open house for us within a few weeks, a Broker/Realtor showing, Facebook advertisement, etc. Alisa went above and beyond for us and we are very thankful !!! I would recommend Alisa and her team anytime!!!

Working with Aly is like having a friend in the real estate business!…read more Aly guided me through the process of buying my first home. She took the time to show me as many houses as I needed to be sure the one I chose was the right one for me. She educated me about the process and supported me every step of the way. No house is perfect so, as a buyer, there are a lot of decisions and negotiations along the way. As a first time home buyer I needed a trusted and experienced advisor, Aly was there for me every time. I now own my first home, and it has changed my life! Even months after the close of the sale Aly has been available to answer my one million new home owner questions. Aly is a great agent and what sets her apart is that she truly cares about people, as evidenced by the fact that she goes out of her way to help me, even long after the commission has been paid.

This review is a quite a bit overdue! Aly was our first choice for finding a home in Grass Valley,…read moreand we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. She took more than a few weekends to patiently show my wife and I several different homes in a variety of areas, taking the time to answer our plentiful questions. Once we (finally) decided to make an offer, she guided us through the experience with knowledge and ease; assisted us with obtaining our loan and insurances, and made sure that we understood every step of the process. We've been settled into our home for over 8 months, and we still reach out to Aly with any questions we may have , or recommendations we may need. We highly recommend Aly!

Mary Margaretich was our agent for the recent purchase of our home. We truly enjoyed working with…read moreher. We were new to the area and appreciated the time she spent with us up front to get to know us and our needs and wants. She gave us a good understanding of neighborhoods and areas that would be the good fits and those that would not. We also really appreciated her knowledge of things that we were less familiar with in the Nevada County area as we were coming from a more urban environment. She was a great resource for info on fire insurance, wells and septic systems. She was also able to provide a great range of recommendations for painters, roofing companies, mortgage lenders and inspectors. During the purchase process we really felt like she went to bat for us negotiating details and our many requests. She was great at offering her advice but also respecting our choices when they were different. Such a pleasure to do business with Mary! Six months later we feel that we are in the perfect house and loving our new community!

There were some specific items that we needed to ensure were possible for our place and Laif did his due diligence to make that possible. Thank goodness for Laif! The purchase itself was seamless and easy. He took care of it all and made sure we got the home we wanted at the best possible price. Absolutely would recommend Laif to our friends and family.

Mimi has a great way of pitching herself and so called team. Her team has No Idea what's going on…read more We were assured by her that she would help us with selling everything. I gave her over $1000.00 in origami paper to be donated to a nonprofit in Nevada city that she sits on the board, we have contacted her over and over and over regarding the donation that we need the receipt no follow-through. I know she has not donated the paper because when I finally did get a phone call they thanked me for closing. I did not give me clothing. I gave her over $1000 worth of origami paper from a deceased friend of mine Daniel Brooks I would really like to know what she's done with the paper and where it is!!! I feel as if she's really taken us for a ride not explaining a lot of things to do with VA loans that when someone is buying your house with the VA loans you absorb a lot of the cost they don't. our house sold in one day, not due to Mimi because it was another agent that brought the buyer and obviously our house was in pristine condition. Otherwise it wouldn't have sold. I would advise anyone to fully research the real estate agent you're going to use because I do not recommend Mimi and her so-called teams

Mimi is an impressive realtor with huge reserves of energy and carefully honed local connections. We recently sold our home in Nevada City through Mimi and her team. We were very happy with the support we received. She was committed to making the sale happen as smoothly as possible and did whatever was needed to close the deal. She listened to all our needs and communicated them well to the buyers' realtor. Problems seemed to dissolve in her hands (from needed repairs to the disposal of our washer/dryer) and she is flexible, yet strong in taking control and putting up with no nonsense. She is expert in the real estate laws and current market and was a perfect ally for us. We can't thank her enough for making our recent home sale as stressless as possible in these difficult days. It was delightful to work with her and her wonderful team in the office.

Well, if…read moreanyone deserves a five-star review it is Steve and Heather for having done an outstanding job in selling our home. Not only have they guided us through each step with great professionalism, communication and care for details, they also provided a top-notch presentation of our home, which resulted in immediate offers above asking price. In contrast to other brokers who were solely focused on Dollar per sq/ft numbers and "comps", Heather and Steve 'got' our home from the start and were able to sell it well above the estimates the other brokers gave us. We simply could not have made a better choice! If we could, we would give them a bonus star for also just being awesome people.

What stood out most was how well they worked together as a team--it really felt like we had double the support. Their communication was always clear and timely, and they were quick to answer any questions we had along the way. Even in today's market, they were able to get our home sold in just a few days! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Theresa Prock - you couldn't ask for a better real estate agent. We met Theresa about 3 years ago,…read morewhen my husband and I were thinking of retiring to the Grass Valley area. Our plans were put on hold, and 3 years later we contacted Theresa and she showed us the same enthusiasm now as she did back then. Theresa has a great personality, she is honest and gives you her opinion on the property/area. Which is great since we didn't know too much about the area. Once we found our home, she continued to be there for us, from my panic questions and just overall questions, she always reassured us. Working with Theresa is like talking to a long lost friend. She is great all the way around.

We had the pleasure of working with Teresa this year in both selling and buying our new home (which…read morewe close escrow on tomorrow!), and would like to take this opportunity to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Teresa had her work cut out for her with us... we had many requirements for our new home, and that combined with a low market inventory presented quite a challenge! Teresa went above and beyond to help us in our hunt, showing us many houses with great patience and flexibility. She worked around our schedule (busy work schedule and our toddler's nap schedule!) and was always prompt in returning phone calls, emails, and getting any info we needed. Pleased as we already were, Teresa's true colors really shined when the first home we were in escrow on ended up having some big issues upon inspection. She insisted we have further inspections, and in light of our findings she encouraged us to back out of the escrow, even though that meant forfeiting her own big paycheck that was right around the corner. It meant so much that she looked out for us in that way, and she has again and again proven to truly have our best interests at heart. With that said, we highly recommend Teresa to anyone looking for a competent, savvy, professional to assist in their real estate needs.
