We are a gay couple, married, and have been together for 38 years. The realtor, Bill Cuccia seemed genuinely uncomfortable with us as we looked at the house - but we really didn't think much of it at the time. After a day (one of many) looking at homes we decided we wanted to discuss an offer on this property with Bill. I sent him multiple emails with the details of our offer and received absolutely NO RESPONSE. Come on - a realtor who doesn't respond to an offer? What could the reason be? Perhaps he is a bigoted, discriminating homophobe? We are extremely offended that this individual's non action effectively excludes us from the opportunity to purchase a property. It is in fact DISCRIMINATION. We will take our significant "2 income buying power" and keep looking for another property to add to our portfolio. But we will NEVER work with Berkshire Hathaway and suggest that others do the same. Hate and discrimination are not acceptable.

From day one, the Jacobs Team was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We worked primarily with Maha, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us through every step of the process and helped ease any anxieties that came up along the way. Her communication was always quick, and she was very accommodating of our busy schedules. Maha helped us find our dream home in Monterey! Her knowledge of the Monterey Peninsula is truly invaluable. She actually guided us toward a home that wasn't originally on our radar, and we are so grateful she did! We also had a very short turnaround for inspections, but thanks to Maha's strong network and local connections, we were able to get everything scheduled and completed quickly, which made a huge difference. Even after closing escrow, Maha has continued to support us by sharing great vendor referrals, all of whom have been excellent. We're so grateful to Maha and the entire Jacobs Team for making our first home-buying experience such a positive one. We would absolutely recommend them!

When we were going back and forth between multiple properties, she provided expert guidance every step of the way and helped us confidently narrow down the best choice.

Later in the year, I reached out to Erika and I instantly felt like I was with somebody who really wanted to help me find my home. She also introduced me to a loan agent who helped guide me through the qualification process all the way through to the purchase of my home. Erika is patient and understanding. When we were looking at houses together, she pointed out things to look for, whether good or bad. It was a learning experience and I'm glad I went through it with somebody like Erika. If I ever buy or sell, I hope I will be able to work with her again. I would recommend her to anybody who is buying or selling their home. I've been in my house for over 6 months now and I'm still so happy. I'm so appreciative of Erika.
