Just closed an incredible off market sale with Peter Boggs. I was working as a trustee, and…read morelooking at a very difficult sale situation. Peter came by the property and was not overwhelmed with the potential problems. We established a top of market sale price, but the property was not ready to be listed on the MLS. Within days Peter had a full price, 21 day escrow offer ready to be signed. Title company and transaction coordinator were both fantastic. Communications were terrific. On top of being a knowledgable real estate professional, he is a great person. I could not recommend Peter more highly.

We had an excellent experience working with Peter Boggs, who guided us through every step of our…read morehome search and purchase. From the very beginning, he took time to understand our goals during a detailed buyer consultation via Zoom, helping us clarify what kind of property and neighborhood would best fit our needs. He toured us through multiple homes, resale and new build, across different cities, educating us on the nuances of each community, and even previewed listings via video and FaceTime so we could see homes as soon as they became available if we were out of the area. When it came time to make an offer on a home in Seaside Highlands, he wrote a compelling and well-structured proposal that unfortunately lost out only because other buyers did not have a contingency and we still needed to list our current residence. Even after that, he kept searching proactively, uncovering new and "coming soon" properties before they officially hit the market. In addition to his local expertise, he connected us with a trusted loan officer who reviewed financing and bridge loan options--to try to mitigate our contingency issue, and he also referred us to an excellent real estate agent in San Jose who helped us sell our previous home so we could be better positioned when making an offer. When our path shifted toward a new build at The Dunes, he smoothly transitioned into that process, \communicating with the sales agents for the builder, addressing our questions, and ensuring details were handled properly from contract to closing. He even provided vendor referrals to help us get settled after move-in. Peter's professionalism, responsiveness, and thoughtful guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and well-supported. We are truly grateful for his diligence, communication, and care in helping us find our new home. We highly recommend him to others.

From day one, the Jacobs Team was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We worked primarily with Maha, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us through every step of the process and helped ease any anxieties that came up along the way. Her communication was always quick, and she was very accommodating of our busy schedules. Maha helped us find our dream home in Monterey! Her knowledge of the Monterey Peninsula is truly invaluable. She actually guided us toward a home that wasn't originally on our radar, and we are so grateful she did! We also had a very short turnaround for inspections, but thanks to Maha's strong network and local connections, we were able to get everything scheduled and completed quickly, which made a huge difference. Even after closing escrow, Maha has continued to support us by sharing great vendor referrals, all of whom have been excellent. We're so grateful to Maha and the entire Jacobs Team for making our first home-buying experience such a positive one. We would absolutely recommend them!

When we were going back and forth between multiple properties, she provided expert guidance every step of the way and helped us confidently narrow down the best choice. When it came time to negotiate, Maha and Joy were knowledgeable, strategic, and a strong advocates for us. Their expertise made a real difference, and we felt supported throughout the entire process.

She's known and respected and a true expert in the local real estate market. Liz is whip-smart, wise, responsive and her work ethic is something to behold.

Terrible response to Issues pertaining to Property Management, I have been a tenant for over 12…read moreyears and trying to get anything resolved with our Leased Spaces is impossible. The Company has refused to address ongoing issues with Leaks, inoperable Leaking, Sticking front Doors. The Company is just a Barrier between the Property Owner John Dilks and the Tenants.

Lets Face it with a Property that is over 60 years old your anticipated replacement has far exceeded, the return on the investment has been tenfold. The maintenance charges are exorbitant and its probably time for an audit to actually see where the $$$ is going.

The sale process had many details and was also time sensitive. Juan in his amazing way did all the work behind the scenes reassuring me that everything was going to go well--and it did! Our purchase in Carmel was seamless. We ended up purchasing a lovely fixer. I am not local to Carmel and what is really awesome is that Juan comes from a building background and he knows the breadth of contractors and what the construction work entails. He has been an endless source of support and guidance as I embark on the building project. If you are looking for a calm and confident realtor who has your agenda/constraints in the forefront--Juan is for you.

Another person and I hired him to represent us and I instructed him specifically not to do anything without consulting the both of us and having our joint approval first to which he agreed. When we received an offer for the home, he purposely consulted only one of us and made a written counter-offer (which was invalid without both of our signatures) without consulting the other on the price or anything else. What he should have done was: 1) notify us both of the offer 2) consult with the both us on a counter offer price and 3) had us both sign the counter offer sheet before presenting it to the prospective buyer He did neither of the above.

My beloved mother passed away several years ago. Her personal home of over fifty years had to be…read moresold, along with a few rental properties. Her house was simply too large for me. On recommendation, we contacted Catherine Freeman, who became invaluable in guiding us through this laborious task. Not only was Catherine efficient, but also extremely patient, understanding, and empathetic. At a time in my life when I needed more than just a real estate agent, I needed a champion. Many agents would jump at the chance to assist in selling multiple homes in high-listing areas and care very little for the impact of this task. Her personal knowledge of the areas in which the homes needed to be sold, coupled with realistic pricing comparable to comps, was absolutely sterling. Within a short time, Catherine was able to sell every single piece of property without any problems, and we sold the properties at a favorable price. We were extremely happy with the personal care and service we received from Catherine, and moreover, the friendship we developed because of her help. I highly recommend having Catherine Freeman assist you with your real estate needs. Sincerely, Cynthia Williams

At first I thought she must be having a really bad day, but it became an undeniable habit. Working with her became very awkward and stressful - you need your agent to be calm and professional - and this was definitely not Dana.

In 2013, my wife and I…read moredecided to stop renting and look for an investment property/home we could own and raise our boys. I don't recall how we chose Annette at that time, as she was working for a real estate company. However, I do remember that Annette was very responsive and helpful during our first home purchase. She provided honest "bottom line up front" facts on what we needed to purchase the property. In fact, she was very knowledgeable about VA loans and the detailed requirements--extremely helpful. Fast forward twelve years later: We determined that a move was more beneficial to us. We asked each other who we should contact to represent our home sale, and we unanimously said: "Annette Boggs". Why--because she knew us, knew the details of our previous purchase, she knows the area, she has excellent integrity and honesty, and impeccable work practices. We contacted her a year before we actually decided to sell, thereby gathering a better feel for what we need to do to help her sell the property. Annette performed a site visit at our home, and we realized that she branched off and developed her own company, which was very exciting. Annette gave us clear and honest guidance on what we would need to do for preparation. A year later, we contacted Annette again to let her know that we were ready to sell the property, and she immediately scheduled another site visit to go over the details. Annette came with her staff and explained exactly what we needed to do to prepare. Annette explained that she would professionally have the windows and house cleaned. Moreover, she provided professional photography and staging of the home. Our house looked brand new when she was ready to advertise. In addition, her 24/7 communication concerning all updates and new news was on spot perfect. Because of her "Above and Beyond" approach, we were able to not only purchase but sell our property with seamless results. Did Annette Boggs meet her motto: Above and Beyond"? We would say she went to the moon and back. We highly recommend Annette Boggs for your future real estate endeavors. Dennis Oaks
