She never made the decisions for me but would offer her knowledge and expertise as needed. She stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process. When I called, she always reached out to me in a very short timeframe. I always felt she was not only my realtor, but she really cared about me personally as well as my goals for selling the house. I have never had a realtor work as hard as she did when things just weren't going right! I greatly appreciated all the time and energy she put into solving the problems as they appeared. She always produced a solution that worked for me. I will always keep our experiences in a special place as that kind goodness does not happen very often. Rue Alfaro

(*note, this is based on the property rental service, I have not purchased or sold any homes with this company) (side note, I would never use them for that either based on this experience) Let us first travel back about 25 years. My first visit to the Big Trees, coming at least once a year. Family vacation after family vacation, Big Trees was a constant. Here we are 2011. The time has come to once again make a visit, having sold our cabin a few years earlier. Having tried another rental company in the passed, I decided to try Coldwell because they were a bit cheaper. Big mistake and maybe a lesson of when not to be frugal. I should've known that after the initial request for information, nothing came back that this customer service nightmare was only beginning. Bargain hunting for my family, I stuck with it. I sent a follow up email. Keep in mind this is a town that has 3500 people, I would think any business is good business. No? Oh you're right CB, it is hard to respond to email. I mean we don't have internet on our phones or wifi nearly everywhere there is a pulse. 10 days later, my response was "Yeah we have cabins available, please call for any questions". Gee! Thanks. My stupid self stuck with it, calling for more info. I did find a place that was suitable for a large party and the price was within the budget. After checking with the family we decided to book. I sent an email basically saying yeah lets book. 4 days later (again..this technology thing is hard apparently) response was "I need more info. Please call to set up rental" Suuuuurrre. So I called, "oh I'm sorry our property manager is off" Next day same thing. Next day...oh shes off already. Interesting. Still my stupid self stuck with it. Flash forward to getting the cabin. We checked in and this place looked like a seen from a horror movie. Spiders on the wall, dirty toilets, old bobby pins on the counters, leftover food in the fridge, bugs on the bedspreads, dust everywhere, foul smell, magazines as a center piece that were 2 years old (magazines that come out weekly). I mean this was bad. Spent the first two hours of our family vacation cleaning the house. Yippee. Next day I go in to talk about the place. Response: "yes it was cleaned last night" In my head I'm going "how can I get that job, get paid to not clean, sure I could do that" Response later in the conversation after Ive had my piss fest. "Well, our customers should expect coming into that because this cabins do sit vacant sometimes" Conclusion because I'm tired of writing: I literally would rather eat dog food than deal with this company again. I mean that 100%. We ended up staying 1 night there because our party of 8 had no other choice. Had we not driven over 800 miles and been able to remedy the situation in normal business hours, we would have stayed in the hotel nearby and worried about our deposit later. This company must be doing so well that we our 8 night stay meant nothing. They offered no remedy for our situation besides an unpleasant exchange of keys when I turned them in. No follow up call from management, no apology letter (unless you count my "cleaning deposit letter refund" that came 1 month after my stay saying, and I quote "Your sudden departure was very disturbing to both the homeowner and I", no nothing. Take my word for it. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE FOR YOUR PROPERTY RENTAL!

I can't say enough good things about Cheryl Balbuena. After my mother passed away without a will, I…read morewas suddenly responsible for navigating the probate process and selling her home--something I had absolutely no experience with. On top of that, I live about three hours away from the property, and the entire situation felt overwhelming. While searching for realtors in Tuolumne County, Cheryl was one of the first to reach out to me--and I'm so glad she did. It was going to take a few months to move my mother's partner out of the house before we could list it, and during that time Cheryl regularly checked in to offer support and assistance, even before we had a listing agreement. Once we were ready, Cheryl took full initiative and handled everything: she arranged for landscaping, scheduled a deep cleaning, and coordinated the removal of multiple truckloads of junk left behind in the home. I genuinely don't know how I would have managed all of that from a distance without her help. Not only did she manage all the logistics, but she also kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me incredible peace of mind. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and willingness to take initiative made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. If you're looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Cheryl Balbuena. She made a stressful, emotional process so much more manageable, and I'm incredibly grateful for her support.

21 SIERRA PROPERTY THE WORST Last New Years Eve we rented a…read morehome for a 3 day weekend. We had 2 adults with disabilities, which we advised 21 Sierra Properties. Our rental had an elevator and a hot tub. The elevator worked for 2 hours. We contacted 21 Sierra and they could not send anyone out till the next day. After waiting 2 hours for a late arrival, the repair person told us they just were out here last week to repair and this time they were unable to repair the elevator. Without an elevator we could not leave to go to the snow & leave our mothers at home. We also had to pay $75 to use the hot tub. The $75 was to cover cleaning & chemicals for the hot tub. The hot tub was not clean and did not have chemicals. The water was stagnant and full of bubbles & scum. The response to our dissatisfaction with the condition of the 6 bedroom rental was, we are sorry for the condition of the rental, but we can't do anything about it. We had to carry our mothers down all the stairs and could / would not use the hot tub in that condition. 21 Sierra would not even refund the $75 we paid for a clean hot tub usage. The worst rental company we ever used for a vacation and we would never use them or recommend them to anyone. We have however, told everyone we know of the unprofessional manner this vacation rental company is run.
