Cassandra and Shonda are a fabulous team…read more When I decided to sell my home, I appreciated how Cassandra asked insightful questions to clarify my needs and provided helpful pointers to prepare the property for sale. Even when we encountered a complex issue with the septic system, Cassandra's help in finding an expert to implement a solution was invaluable. Once the solution was implemented, the team went to work guiding me through the process and paperwork to list my home (made those tasks so easy.) They kept in constant contact updating me with each viewing and in just four days after listing my home was sold. Cassandra and Shonda's market expertise, attention to detail, guidance, and frequent communication made all the difference throughout this process. I highly recommend Merrill & Associates!

Cassandra Merrill provided a highly professional real estate service, while also bringing a true…read moreempathetic approach to service. My circumstances involved selling the home of my recently deceased sister while I did not live in California. Cassandra took control of the situation offering practical suggestions on how to dispose of my sister's furniture, making sure the home was in tip top condition to sell, and assisting me through the very confusing process of selling a property in California. Her commission structure is extremely competitive, her plan for marketing the property was thorough, and she communicated weekly on the progress of the sale. The house was listed in December (not a great time) and was sold in May. While she is definitely someone you would want to work with to sell your property, more importantly, she is someone you would want as a friend. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in selling a property.

Ellie is absolutely the best realtor I have ever worked with. I have used her both in buying a new…read morehome, and selling my and my mother's home. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and her leadership is superb. The marketing was top-notch and both my house and my Mom's sold in days, both times in buyers markets. She really knows what needs to happen and gets it done - making her services an exceptional value as she works harder, gets more done and charges a standard commission. In addition, she rewards loyalty. Selling my Mom's house was the most recent transaction, and she paid for several of the expenses that were part of putting the house on the market. That is of course much appreciated!

Choosing Ellie Washington to represent us when buying our home in SLO was truly one of the best decisions we made during the entire process. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and she is the only agent on the Central Coast I can recommend without hesitation or reservation. From our very first meeting, she brought a personal touch to our conversations. She was invested in finding out who we are and how she could help us meet our specific goals. Compared to our previous attempts, her approach to this search felt like a completely bespoke experience. Ellie started by carefully listening to our story and asking us specific questions to clarify our goals. In the process she quickly distilled a short list of our "must haves", "would be nice if", and absolute deal breakers. It only took one or two conversations before we felt like she had our mindset for the search completely dialed in. Early on, we found ourselves wondering why we felt so comfortable this time around. We both agree it's because Ellie is an expert communicator. Every time she needed to pass along information on our behalf, she made sure she was absolutely clear on exactly what our wishes were. She kept us informed at every step, answered all of our questions (often before we even asked) and promptly circled back for our input if new information presented potential complications. When we decided to make an offer, she guided us through every step. She made helpful suggestions, offered expert advice, and talked us through any doubts. It always felt like we were well within our comfort zone while making time sensitive decisions in the process of finalizing details in a highly competitive, multiple offer scenario. In the end, thanks to Ellie's expertise, we beat not one but TWO slightly higher offers because of the aggressive terms she customized to make ours more attractive. Once our offer was accepted, what really stood out was Ellie's ability to project manage. She coordinated everyone involved, from inspectors to escrow, and kept everything moving on schedule. She provided us with a detailed timeline of when things were going to happen and we always felt confident knowing everything was supervised and under control, even when we asked if we could move up our closing date on short notice. We always felt like we were in the best hands and we're so thankful we had her by our side.

The home was unique in that it had an existing short term rental business associated with it and we were remote during the buying process.

Highly recommended Amber!

I enthusiastically recommend Amy as an extremely effective, ethical, hardworking and thoughtful…read morereal estate agent with deep knowledge of the SLO real estate market. I worked with Amy on selling my rental house in SLO (which resulted in an agreement signed in only 4 days at above market pricing) as well as on the purchase of a very attractive home at a great value within a competitive seller's market. In addition to Amy's outstanding communication skills, honesty, responsiveness, and timeliness, she's an effective negotiator, has a great support team, and it's a true pleasure working with her. Her positive energy, attention to detail and fun spirit, are coupled with an ability to achieve superior results.

She showed us numerous homes, sent homes for us to think about, answered every phone call promptly, sat and talked through options and priorities constantly, and eventually found us the home of our dreams.

We could not have gotten through this process without Krissy. She was professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgable.

Debbie is a wonderful realtor!…read more I have known Debbie for about five years. I purchased a home through Debbie in 2009. We looked at quite a few homes in the Atascadero area. She was always working behind the scenes, watching out for a home within my specifications. She was always prepared and knowledgeable on every property. She knew the statistics and what percentage above/below list homes were selling for, in the area. The transaction with her was wonderful and I have recommneded her to multiple people since then, including my parents. And I would highly recommend Debbie Jamison to you. Steve W.

We found our dream home!!…read more Debbie knew exactly what we wanted....she's a fantastic listener and great overall communicator. We've been looking for a while and it's been tough finding the right home - then getting beat out of offers with cash buyers out there, but we were so fortunate! Debbie had the ability to develop a relationship with the listing agent; helped us formulate a very creative offer...and wrote a beautiful letter about us to the seller.....and our offer was accepted! Debbie knows her stuff...and she truly cares about her clients and their needs. She makes the process very simple - and with very little stress along the way for you! :) You will be in good hands whether you are a first time home buyer, or are buying a second/vacation home. I can't say enough great things about Debbie and our experience working with her. I would not hesitate to call her for another home purchase one day, and will recommend her to all my friends and family who are purchasing in the SLO County/Central Coast areas.

We were selling an amazing plot of land... great location, but difficult to develop. She did her homework and got a lot of interest in this challenging plot. Within 2 months, she was able to present us with 2 full-price offers. One was straightforward all cash, but the other was less conventional and more interesting to us. At times when we might have been naively gung-ho, Missy took time to explain the process and make sure we made informed decisions, even if it meant more work for her. Her hard work ensured everyone's needs were met, and we walked away from the deal very happy, as did the buyers.

As first time home buyers, using our VA home loan benefit, we experienced a seamless and supportive process. We have learned a lot from Missy and our lender. What a positive first time buying experience!
