“This is our first experience selling this type of property, so we dont have much to compare it to, also, we really dont know what Pamela did in office to push our property. For example, if she showed our property and the person was hesitant because for a reason, ie not good lighting , too big, we dont know if pamela followed up with a phone call to person or other broker to help navigate a sale. There was never an open house, only help she had was on multiple listing. As far as we know never a caravan showing with local realtors. All in all Pamela did swell. Like I said at her desk she might have been pushing the sale beyond expectations. When I went in to chat about activity or lack of on the sale, I decided to lower price 1000, she did point out that it would bring house back up on listing. Never did she suggest that I should go more or less on price, like I have stated, this is probably the norm to let seller decide without suggestion.”

“April is an incredible realtor. She truly has a pulse on our local market and was able to help us competitively price our home to sell while walking through multiple frustrating issues that unfortunately drew out our contingent offer timeline - at no fault of hers. She was relentless with communicating to the other realtor, contractors, and brokers, all while keeping us up to date, many times hourly, to make sure we had all the information we needed to make timely decisions. Ultimately, she got us into our dream home, and I can't thank her enough for making it happen. If your looking for the best realtor on the Central Coast, look no further. She's the one!”

“My husband and I have really enjoyed working with Joel in the process of finding a new home. He has been extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He was timely but not too pushy. He is very detailed-oriented, which we appreciated greatly in the unique home purchase we made. He was very clear in explaining documents, market trends, and legal topics we were less familiar with. He was also very reliable and dependable.”

“We can't recommend Mike Emerson highly enough! He went above and beyond in selling our home. Not only did Mike guide us through every step of the process with expert advice, but he also worked tirelessly to ensure we got the best price for our property. Mike’s knowledge of the local market was invaluable, and his strategic approach to marketing our home made a huge difference. The attention to detail in staging, pricing, and negotiating was impressive, and we were always kept in the loop with clear and timely communication. What truly sets Mike apart is his dedication. He took the time to understand our goals and worked relentlessly to make them a reality. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment were clear at every stage, and it’s thanks to Mike that we were able to sell our home quickly and at a fantastic price.
