“Pamela Hogue is in a class by herself as a realtor. I have sold nine houses and never had such a positive experience. Above and beyond should be her middle name. She helped us with everything, even temporarily storing my husband's car at her house, and kept us constantly informed. Pamela is honest, knowledgeable and diligent. She sold our house in six days! We could not have asked for more.”
“Amy is so easy to work with and this is the third property we have purchased with her. She knows the comps well and was able to guide to the best price to offer when competing with several cash offers. We won and could not be happier with our experience and purchase.”
“This was our second time using Jon as our Realtor. First time was as a Buyer and we were so impressed, we used him this time as a Seller. His knowledge of the market and guidance throughout the whole process is second to none. We always felt like we were a priority and communication was top tier. Even in a declining market, he sold our house the first weekend. We won't hesitate to use him again. Thank you so much Jon!”

“Jim was the first realtor we worked with who actually felt like he was on OUR team - he is very experienced, reliable and the right amount of proactive. Ultimately, Jim helped us buy our very favorite house we saw - and helped us actually get a deal and not overpay, which was important to us (and very hard to do in the bay area!). Throughout the process, Jim also proactively sent us listings which were a great match for what we were looking for. In terms of actually getting the transaction done, Jim is clearly extremely experienced and was very helpful and professional at every step. He is also hyper responsive and reliable, which we really appreciated, and even helped us close over the holidays. Thank you Jim!”

“The Best in the Business—Amy & Anthony Went Above and Beyond! Finding the perfect home is more than just a transaction—it's a journey filled with emotions, decisions, and the hope of a new beginning. Amy made this journey unforgettable for my husband, our baby boy, and me. From the moment we started working with her, she wasn’t just our real estate agent—she became family. Amy’s knowledge, professionalism, and dedication go beyond words. She guided us with patience and clarity, breaking everything down in a way that made sense and ensuring we felt confident in every step. Her expertise wasn’t limited to real estate—she caught crucial details in the mortgage process that the loan officer overlooked, and even provided valuable insights on home insurance. She always had our best interests at heart, proving time and again that she genuinely cared about us and our future. And we can’t forget Anthony, her incredible co-agent, whose support made the process even smoother. His kindness and ex”

“Melissa being your real estate agent means much more than a transaction. This means you already have one person in your corner, cheering you on, advocating for you, encouraging, and walking you through each step of the way. She makes the process exciting and magical; yet, realistic, motivating; yet, thorough. Many times throughout the process, she makes you feel like you are her only client. Her patience and understanding helped guide me through each bump, unexpected turn, and obstacle in the road throughout first-time home buying! She takes the time to listen to each of your concerns and helps explain everything with clarity so you are making educational and knowledgable decisions.”
