We had hoped he would have an intimate knowledge of the community and of the homes in the area. We were right.

The weekly digital reports she sent were super helpful and gave us a clear picture of how people were responding. It made us feel informed and involved every step of the way.

They are consummate professionals--highly knowledgeable, responsive, and diligent in keeping clients informed at every stage of the process. After an unsuccessful attempt to sell our condominium in Temecula with a previous agent, I reached out to Tyson. He responded promptly the same day, and we quickly arranged a meeting. From the outset, he demonstrated thorough preparation and due diligence. Remarkably, on the very first day the property was listed--and after the first showing--we received and accepted a full asking price offer. Tyson's skill and experience were evident throughout the transaction. He navigated challenges with confidence and precision, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish. We are truly grateful for the swift sale and for achieving maximum value for our property. His team is equally impressive. Paola was outstanding, and every individual involved contributed to a smooth and efficient experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Tyson and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. Their dedication, expertise, and results speak for themselves. We remain sincerely grateful for their exceptional service.

She had professional photos done and made sure the home was on tour and showed beautifully. She brought me two amazing competitive offers within a couple weeks of the listing going live. I cant say enough positive things about her. For very personal reasons that had nothing to do with her ...I got cold feet and didn't want move forward with the sale. This is a rough situation for an agent, but she was tremendously understanding And professional. She allowed me to cancel the listing and we agreed to revisit when the timing was right. She checks in occasionally to keep me abreast of the market and says she is here for me when I'm really ready to sell. She is a class act.

Meagan has handled several family transactions. As an experienced realtor myself , I can easily say…read morethat both her professional ( technical) skills and her level of personal caring and concern are terrific. While she has handled transactions in many surrounding areas, our particular experience with her has been in Idyllwild, Ca. Meagan has unique insights into any special legal requirements unique this area. She knows the school system, local contractors and handymen, weather patterns, and sub areas of the community . She has handled my daughter's complicated real estate transactions as well, with our complete confidence. There are many, many choices when selecting an agent. But again, I feel I have a comprehensive view as an ex-realtor, and as a client. Meagan would be my first choice in any SoCal area.

I was interested in a property that she was handling. I called the number of her office and the…read morephone was never answered. I left messages and no response after several attempts. The property was sold, before I could get a hold of her. A few months later, I found another piece of property, I finally was able to contact her by phone, but when we talked, she was very Short with me. She said she was busy with people in her office, but, didn't offer to return my call to discuss the property further. When I had asked her a couple of quick questions regarding the property & a concern, she seemed annoyed that I wasn't familiar with the procedure regarding My concern. She just came off as "unprofessional & rude". I don't like conducting business like this or with anyone that has given me a bad vibe. I got my own real estate agent now, and when she called this marge muir, she called me back and said.. Wow! she is really uninterested in talking to me and rude. But, My real estate agent is just going to have to deal with her, if the property I want is being handled by this agency's office. (I have still yet to purchase a property that I want up on the mountain, out of DREAD of having to deal with Ms. Muir, Unfortunately, knowing we will hardly get any satisfaction from a conversation with her.) I hope others have a better experience with her and her agency, and that she conducts herself with better manners and respect for others, as they are most likely spending HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on real estate. Remember people, she is working off of commission and should seem a bit grateful for our business!..

I find it practically implausible that anyone can have a bad experience with Kay. Not only is she…read moresuch a nice lady, but our experiences with her as our agent, was great! We had both a purchase and a sell with her and both went off without a hitch. She does not push you into a house you cannot afford to buy, and when we were looking through different homes, she was so good a pointing out all the possibilities in each house. She made such a great impression on us that even though we don't live in Idyllwild any longer, when we are up there, we try to poke our heads in the door, just to say, Hi. You can't go wrong dealing with Kay for your real estate needs.

Review written by my wife Michelle who worked with Heidi to sell a trust property:…read more "We had the absolute pleasure of working with Heidi Bonham with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Oak Valley, to sell our trust property, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Heidi was exceptional. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the process, consistently finding ways to make what could have been a very stressful situation feel manageable and supported. Selling a trust property comes with its own unique challenges, and in our case, we were also navigating cash-for-keys agreements with multiple long-term tenants. Heidi handled this with professionalism, compassion, and incredible patience. One thing that really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about everyone involved. She even took the extra step of providing apartment rental listings to one of our tenants who had lived on the property for over 30 years. She did this entirely on her own time, without charging us or the tenants. Heidi was also very mindful and respectful of the sensitive family dynamics involved, especially considering some of the complexities with beneficiaries. She navigated everything with discretion, empathy, and a steady hand, which made a huge difference for us. She also came with an incredible network of resources and was always ready with trusted referrals for things like junk removal, gardening, and other property needs, which was immensely helpful. If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and truly invested in her clients, Heidi Bonham is the one you want. We are so grateful for her support and expertise throughout this entire process. Highly, highly recommend!".

Very knowledgeable, very professional, always happy to help. Experience matters. Sold my house more than my expectation.
