As good as it gets, this is what it is like working with a consummate professional…read more Planning to purchase a property in the area, and with our realtor not familiar with Sonoma County, Karen and team came up during yelp searches. Yelpers reviews win again! Karen truly is a consummate professional. She took time to learn what we were interested, searched for appropriate properties, shared information with us, etc. etc. When we finally found the right property for us, she held our hands. As we were looking at a lot (not house) there was a lot (umm, is that a pun?) to learn. Karen was patient, professional, and used her amazing network to connect us with civil engineers, building departments, etc. I thought I was organized, but Karen really knows her business; she spotted things we never would have, educated us, and did so in a supportive way. I cannot speak highly enough of Karen and team.

We just bought a house and Karen Waelde of North County Properties was our agent. It's the 7th…read morehouse I've bought and the 3rd in Sonoma county. I've never met a more thorough, helpful realtor. Karen wants to do the right thing in all her dealings and works hard to do so. I can't count the number of times she went up to the property with an inspector or hiked up a hill to get a water sample. In addition to hard working, Karen is smart. She listens to what is important to you and finds solutions that work. She also knows how to bring a deal together. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Would not work with again…read more Debra represented me as a buyer on a property she listed. My offer was accepted and at first it seemed like she was enthusiastic about helping me, but didn't follow through on commitments she made and rarely contacted me except the occasional text. Luckily, when my original loan fell through Debra referred me to a great local lender that was able to get me approved and closed quickly. It felt like I was doing more due diligence and not like I had hired an agent to be an advocate for me. Things fell through the cracks that I ended up following up on, like not sending me the initial deposit request, not going through any documents with me besides emailing them to me to sign, and not even discussing a home warranty. She committed to have a cleaner visit one space in the house to de-odorize it, then said she would bring over the cleaning product for me, then she said she would "try" to bring it over. I kind of got the idea that I wasn't valuable to her as a client because I had a very low house budget and probably a lot lower income than more favored clients. Inspections got done quickly but they missed a big rodent infestation and it seemed like she was a little more buddy buddy with the inspectors and concerned with getting them done quickly rather than hiring for their expertise. She was evasive and didn't answer when I asked her how she was discounting the commission for the seller since she was also representing me as a buyer. Debra sent me a congratulations text when the transaction was finalized and left the house keys in a flower pot. When I brought up some issues after the transaction that I felt she had ignored, her response was that because I worked in a real estate office that she assumed I knew about everything. Uhhh really? So she was my agent and being paid commission for what? I have my house and I love it but I would have definitely secured a different agent if I had known I wasn't going to be respected or well represented.

Thank you again for the support in selling our home. Highly recommend.

I am honestly not sure a 5 out of 5-star rating is enough for Rhonda--she truly deserves so much…read moremore! We first worked with Rhonda 20 years ago when she sold our house. She made that process incredibly fast and effortless, bringing in multiple offers without a hitch. So, when we recently decided to buy a new home, returning to her was the easiest decision we could have made, and she completely exceeded our expectations once again. Rhonda perfectly balances being incredibly sweet with being fiercely professional. When we found a house we originally wanted, she drafted a flawless offer. Unfortunately, the sellers decided they wanted more than their asking price, and we were crushed. Rhonda didn't miss a beat; she immediately jumped into action, pivoted, and ended up finding us our absolute dream forever home. Knowing exactly what it takes to win in this market, she crafted the perfect offer letter and fought hard to get it accepted right before the house even hit its first weekend open house. After that, she put the entire process on cruise control for us. We closed in under 3 weeks, and we barely had to lift a finger. Rhonda handled absolutely everything and went far beyond what is expected of a real estate agent to take the stress out of the process. She scheduled all of our inspections and followed up on the findings, personally took specific photos of the house to satisfy our home insurance requirements, and seamlessly set up the title and signing. She even provided us with her trusted, local contact list for a handyman, cleaning person, and appliance repair. If you want an agent who will guide you with genuine care and handle every single detail from start to finish, call Rhonda. We are so incredibly grateful to be in our forever home!

She was 5 star on every single aspect. Incredibly responsive, very attune to the market, and ultra diligent. Additionally, she went above and beyond to make sure we understood what was happening - and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty if necessary taking on any task to keep things moving forward. But perhaps her greatest skill is listening to the client and making sure their goals are met. Can't thank Kristi enough!

Updated Review / Response to Kristi Taylor's Public Reply…read more After seeing Kristi's public response to my review, I felt it was necessary to post this update with supporting evidence. Her reply stated that "the individual who posted this review did not have legal authority over the sale." That statement is entirely false, and Kristi knows it. I was one of three equal legal owners of the property sold -- something clearly documented in the court filings, the title paperwork, and even in Kristi's own communications with me. Throughout the sale, Kristi was in direct contact with me about inspection reports, repair decisions, paint work, and property access. In her own text message to me, she explicitly wrote: "What you guys decide to do, will be up to all 3 of you." That one line alone disproves her public claim. Realtors do not coordinate repairs, inspections, and property updates with people who "have no legal authority." Beyond that, Kristi also misrepresented basic facts about the buyer. When I asked who purchased my family home, she told me it was "a local man/company that restores barns." The official Superior Court Order (attached below) shows the buyer was actually The Bloom Project, not the person or company Kristi described. This is a matter of public record, approved by the court on August 16, 2023, and handled through Cornerstone Title Company. Before posting this, I reached out to Kristi directly and asked her -- politely -- to remove or correct her response, explaining that it contained multiple false statements. She chose not to. I'm therefore posting this clarification only because she has shown a troubling level of comfort making blatantly inaccurate public claims about both the sale and my legal standing. Everything I've stated here is supported by written evidence: her own texts and emails, the title and escrow documentation, and court filings. I'm sharing this not out of spite, but because the truth matters -- especially when someone's professional credibility depends on honesty. I encourage anyone considering working with Kristi to review these facts carefully and make an informed decision. Additional documentation is available upon request.

Katie is the best agent I have ever had in my whole life with multiple times of purchasing…read moreproperty! I will give her 6 stars if there is 6! Here are the reasons: She helped me to find the perfect house which has view as well as pool! It's very hard to find such a nice combination in Santa Rosa. I have seen open housefor more than 6 months and saw more than 30 houses. When she had appointment with me, she is always be there on time or earlier! I had one experience with another agent who did not show on time and did not answer my call or text! Katie always treat my business as hers. She helps me find a HomeBridge finance team who also did fabulous job and make almost impossible loan to be approved on time without any delay! That was very impressive! Katie also helped me find the company to do pool inspection as well as painter and electricians who have been there with katie to estimate the cost of remodeling! This is extremely helpful for a person like me coming here from Los angles and know none in this beautiful community! There are lot more things worth of my time to write, but I don't want take too much of your time to read. Just mention one more thing which makes me believe that in a very near future, Katie will definitely become one of top agents in Sonoma county with the best quality of service she provides. The last thing I don't want to miss is that she organized and prepared a party for me in my backyard in order to make me feel welcomed and to get to know my neighbors. She prepared all food and drinks and invites my neighbors as I have been so exhausted and busy from my job. If I have more money to buy another property or If someone ask me for referral, I will have one agent in my heart, that is Katie!!!! Thank you so much Katie. You made my dream house became true.
