From our initial call to closing, Viv helped us throughout the entire process. Her professionalism with a dash of humor made Viv the most enjoyable realtor we ever worked with. You can be sure she will give you her honest opinion and thorough analysis of any home you're interested in. It's almost heartbreaking that our journey together has come to an end but we'll be sure to call her up when we're in the market again to buy or sell. It goes without saying that we highly recommend her and Vabrato.

Even though that initial property wasn't the right fit, he quickly suggested another nearby option and made time to show it to us right away. Throughout the application process, Zack was consistently friendly, communicative, and diligent--always keeping me updated and putting my worries at ease. I'd absolutely recommend Zack to any owner or tenant looking for a reliable and genuine agent!

It was wonderful working with Julie and Peter. It was our lucky day when we selected them as our…read morerealtors. We were selling while being in another location. Their market analysis and selling strategy resulted in quick success. Julie also had good advice on what to invest in to get the best return on the investment in upgrades. Their crews took over, updated, and prepared the property for sale. We didn't need to get involved remotely. People who saw the house and the ad campaign commented on how well the house showed. It sold rapidly (super rapidly!) for more than our goal price. From moving out our stuff, to upgrades, to closing, was only 2 months start to finish. Peter and Julie have a unique ability to be both friendly and genuine, yet also tough negotiators. I felt they were really partners and were looking out for my interests throughout--including advising me on considering renting out the house--which would have earned them nothing. Amazing from beginning to end.

Glen Mitchell Realty provided the most professional and responsive service to my family during the…read moresale of our home after 40 years of continuous occupancy. We relied heavily on Glen's advice and took advantage of his knowledge of HMB in locating the essential services needed to achieve the momentous task of emptying out decades of accumulation. He also provided maintenance support to get our house presentable for staging. He provided regular updates with relevant details on the status of the sale. At one point there was a bit of tension during negotiations and Glen masterfully heard our concerns and supported our decision, which resulted in the buyer increasing their offer. In addition, the staff at Glen Mitchell Realty were helpful and knowledgeable during the plethora of documents needed to complete the sale. Thank you Glen Mitchell Realty for helping us through this momentous event.

Someone (don't want to name names coz I don't want to ding them personally) promptly answered the call and I excitedly explained how I'm looking to rent out our house - the person on the other end said, "it's close to 8pm on a weekday, I'm with my family, let's schedule another time... it's the nature of my job to answer the call so I did". I 100% respect a person's family time but either fix the listed hours on review sites or send me to voicemail or lastly teach politeness to your employees, otherwise it leaves a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it? I'm unfortunately compelled to not come back to you for property managing my home ever.

We had a change in our family situation and needed to quickly move out of the home we own into a…read morebigger rental. After move-in, we were a big stuck on what to do and how to get our home rented out. We connected with RentWise and they put us at ease. Everything moved so fast, from the moment we got off the call, things just started happened, photographers showed up and took professional pictures (after we had the place cleaned) and made a map layout of the property (got the files the that same evening). By the next morning, our home was already listed and advertised (i think it was 22 outlets that RentWise marketed the home to). Within 48 hours we had ~30 contacts. RentWise showed the home to 5 lovely couples/families that weekend and 3 qualified applicants for us to chose from a couple days after. All-in all, the process took a little over a week. I cannot believe how fast we got qualified applicants and a lease executed. They are worth every penny (it probably would've taken me a month) not to mention they got us 10% more than the top end of my expectation. My first experience with RentWise, will update the review if anything changes during the length of the relationship. Thank you again RentWise!

James and Nicole provided white glove service through the entirety of the process. They are the real estate equivalents of Goldman Sachs or McKinsey - highly strategic in their advice while also being exceptionally detail oriented and organized. All the while, they maintained a customer-centric approach that was both personal and professional. They understood our needs and were truly partners throughout the process - never married to a single approach, just the one that made sense for us. From start to finish across two transactions, there was never anything too big for them to handle or too small for them to address. We truly value their partnership, professionalism, and work product. Highly recommend to everyone - especially busy people with a high bar!

Little did I know I was moving in next to a "weed smoker" who played his music really loud. The lease states, it is a "non-smoking" community and right to a quiet environment! The adjoining neighbors have confirmed this. We smelled it, experienced it and have been affected by the stench of weed permeating into our apartment with "second hand smoke". After numerous complaints, my neighbors and I visited the leasing office to address it. Janine Rood, Mgr., has always presented herself as very "RUDE", just like her last name! She says, "there's nothing they can do" ??? I asked for a copy of my lease and it CLEARLY states it plain as day. I decided to contact the Corporate Office. I was told to go to the Tax Assessor's Office by the Legal Services of Northern California to get the Owners information. (ANYONE WHO PAYS TAXES CAN GET IT) After numerous complaints for 10mos into my lease, I sent an email letting them know they were in BREACH OF CONTRACT hoping they would address it or I would sue them, soon thereafter, I was served with a 10day notice to vacate stating I was the "nuisance"! LASTLY, IF YOU EXPECT TO HAVE SOMETHING ADDRESSED THAT IS STATED IN THE LEASE....DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING IT SAYS BECAUSE THEY'LL TELL YOU, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE OTHERS TO COMFIRM YOUR CONCERNS! I HOPE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW......SHAME ON YOU!!!
