From start to finish the whole experience was simple, smooth and seamless. We guess all those people that say buying a house is stressful and exhausting, don't have Steve Crossman working for them. Steve took our long wish list and entry level budget and somehow managed to work miracles! We bought our dream house, in a great neighborhood for our growing family, and had to make very few compromises on the property. We knew from the moment we walked into our house it was the one. However, we were unsure whether or not the sellers would agree in this competitive market. Steve had us write a personal letter to the sellers, and the house became ours. These are the personable touches that make Steve Crossman the best. Through the entire escrow process Steve always had our best interest in mind. He made sure that negotiations were fair and reasonable despite dealing with difficult sellers. He also made sure that we were not taken advantage of as first time home buyers. When a problem arose during the initial inspection, Steve called in a specialist for an accurate estimate of repairs. This is a man that goes above and beyond for his clients. There was never a moment during escrow that we were unsure of what was going on or what needed to be done. When Steve Crossman is your realtor he can reached 24/7. He makes himself available to his clients around the clock for showings, questions, concerns...you name it. He's thorough, timely and professional. Steve makes you feel like you are his only client, though we know otherwise (he's a top seller in the state). When we were ready to purchase our first home, we were told he's the best. So we put our confidence in him, and he exceeded all of our expectations. We hope you take our advice, and choose Crossman! He will make buying or selling your home a great experience that you will remember for a lifetime.

The house needed some work before we could list it in a very buyer-friendly market. How friendly? There were 44 homes listed when we put ours on the MLS. They found the handyman, the guy who resurfaced the kitchen counters, the plumber, and the flooring guy. What's more, they supervised the tradespeople, let them into the house and locked up behind them. AND, they stayed on top of me to sign the paperwork and made sure that everything happened on time. We were under contract within two weeks of the Open House at 97% of our list price. Thank you Meryll and Sharron, you are the BEST !!

She had answers to questions that I didn't even know that I had. She did this all of this while being incredibly patient with my 100's of questions, helping us imagine a remodel and navigate complicated permitting issues. She was honest and steered us away from homes that I know she could have made a bigger commission on because she cared about how that specific house did or didn't fit our needs as a family. If I could give more stars on this review I would. Thanks Brittney.

Here's what you get with Anne and Cassandra: They know Ojai inside out, block by block. They know the market. They coach their clients. They're always available. They advocate for their clients - even if it's not in their own best interest. In particular, Anne and Cassandra were really helpful putting the properties we looked at in context and keeping us from acting too hastily or over-paying. And when we went through the closing process, they were tireless advocates for us. They didn't rush us through close. Instead proactively continued to negotiate throughout the process. We couldn't have been happier.

Anne, Cassandra and the entire Williamson VanKeulen team are the epitome of over-the-top…read moreprofessionalism and excellence. In what might prove to be the most competitive real estate market ever, they patiently worked with us for over a year, setting up dozens of appointments, adjusting to our whims and steering us towards the finish line until we had keys in hand. We found the Williamson VanKeulen contact info literally off one of their "for sale" signs on an empty lot that seemed intriguing. We were visiting for a weekend and I sent their general contact line an email. I had a reply later that day despite it being late on a Sunday and we started trading updates from time to time. I was quickly very impressed with the Williamson VanKeulen team's helpful knowledge and suggestions as we learned more about the area and what we should be looking for in terms of locations, types of houses, amenities etc. At the very beginning of the process my wife and I described an extremely specific house type, lot size and location that we wanted. Even down to the view orientation we wanted in the backyard. In the end, the Williamson VanKeulen team delivered quite literally exactly what we asked for... right down to the backyard view. Normally you have to compromise on one or two major wants. We got 100% of what we dreamed about. Buying a home is a challenge in any market. Even in the ultimately buyers market (if those ever exist again), you need smart, local experts who have the history, insights and finesse to get a deal done. In an extremely tight sellers market, you will drown without using people like Anne and Cassandra. Anne and Cassandra will move mountains and get you to closing on your dream home. Two quick anecdotes - For half the closing process we were two hours south which made it very difficult for us to pop up even for important events. For the other half of closing we were on our honeymoon in another state. Anne and Cassandra went above and beyond to accommodate our needs during this critical closing period. They made sure our inspections, walk-throughs and all the stuff you don't expect went off without a hitch. Cassandra would pop over and facetime us for when we had a question about any little thing. They provided a thorough list of high-quality inspectors and contractors then offered to be the ones to let those workers into the home while we were hours away. Even after closing they are still helping! Just recently a neighbor who didnt have our number called Cassanda to say they saw water streaming down our driveway. Again we were two hours away which was very stressful. Without even having to ask, Cassandra offered to pop over to check out the scene. In the end it was was actually a neighbor's hose that had been left on. A huge relief, and a massive help. We have a dozen examples like that from the process. Hopefully it's clear from this review that we give the Williamson VanKeulen team the absolute strongest recommendation possible!

Our most recent and hopefully last move is to Oak View, CA and was by far the most complicated and yet seamless. The easy part entirely due to the experience, compassion and professional work of Char Michaels. Our early days of looking and learning were full of add on tips regarding the history of Ojai, the risks of purchase in various neighborhoods, and mostly trying to navigate a big emotional move with the necessity that it be fiscally wise. Char was and is nothing shy of perfection, and continues to be. She has been with us every step of the way and in most cases ahead one or two steps. She has reminded, prompted and injected a dose of reality when most needed. She remained professional while also personable.
