They were very help throughout the whole process and made themselves available whenever we had questions. Dustin was awesome about making sure we were always in the know when there were updates about the purchase, and everything regarding the paper work.

She did all the leg work for us when it came time to view a property, had all the connections when it was time to do inspections, and gave us lots of great recommendations for contractor/companies to reach out to for the renovations we plan on doing. i whole heatedly recommend Dustin and Dana if you are looking to buy in the Redding/Chico area.

As a first-time homebuyer purchasing in a town several hours away from where I live, I will admit…read morethat the process could have been a daunting one. Luckily, that was not the case for me. I am very grateful and fortunate to have had Dustin on my side during this process. Dustin was referred to me by a friend and from the get go, has managed to impress me with his steadfast and tireless work ethic. He is quite thorough and will stop at nothing to ensure that his client is receiving the highest level of service. I've found Dustin to be extremely knowledgeable when it came to the local market, kind, and very patient with my myriad questions. He made the remote buying process a breeze and was able to creatively negotiate with the seller to where I was able to secure a purchase price UNDER asking - which is almost unheard of in this current market. I can't wait to enjoy many years in my new home, but when I'm ready to buy or sell in the future, I'll know exactly who to call. Thanks, Dustin and team! You have a customer for life.

My last move was from Florida to Chico, CA. to be closer to family. I rented until I was more situated to a new city. Both my children went to Chico State, so I wasn't totally unfamiliar. I always loved Chico charm. My daughter recommended Megan Haimbaugh to be my Realtor since she did such an awesome job for them. I found Megan at an Open House she was hosting and introduced myself. I had a 6-month lease so I let her know I was just getting familiar with neighborhoods, etc. and what I was looking for. It would be IDEAL, I told her, if I could live close to my daughter's family. Lo and behold! Megan sent me to look at a new listing, just getting on the market that day because she said it was perfect for me. It was earlier than I was thinking, but interest rates were rising and I didn't want to lose this opportunity. It was the right price, the right size, the best yard ever and only 4 blocks from my family! Megan is terrific. She is always looking out for me, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, answered all my questions and is so easy to work with. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. My life is forever changed for the better because of her hard work and dedication.

We don't live in the area, so Lora gave us very good advice about which neighborhoods to look at that would have what we wanted- walkable, close drive to shopping, well maintained homes, low traffic, low crime. We found a great home in Little Chico Creek Estates that had exactly what we were looking for, was mobility friendly, and move-in ready. We were able to close our sale quickly, and Lora proved to be an excellent negotiator, sticking firm to our offer price. We felt good knowing that we had someone in our corner really willing to roll up her sleeves and go to bat for us! Lora is really the total package- knowledgable, experienced, ethical, and also very warm and kind with top notch communication skills, just a really wonderful person!

Throughout the buying process Jacob was super easy to work with, had a lot of good advice (not fake advice that helps him, but solid advice) and whenever I was feeling really antsy, a phone call with Jacob was always a big help to calm me down and focus ahead. The sellers were -incredibly- difficult to work with and Jacob was always there keeping them on track and sticking up for us. Once the fire happened, I needed information I no longer had access to (Our home insurance policy) and Jacob was happy to get the info he could and had our insurance people get in contact with us. He has also followed up with us since then to check in and offer his help and advice. I don't know if you know how much we really appreciate the support and generous help, Jacob. It's immensely helpful whether in a stressful buying situation or in the terrible aftermath of losing absolutely everything. Thank you.
