David Lyng offers homes for sale and will sell homes in the local vicinities. A great location, a fantastic team. I will certainly think of them when its time for me to recommend a realtor team.

Our friends in Carmel had heard many good things about Karen so we took their recommendation. We really didn't know anything about the California housing market but felt comfortable in Karen's competent hands. It was at a time when buyers were trying to low-ball offers but Karen kept our confidence up, and the price where it should have been. We sold our house quickly and the closing was smooth. Karen is also a pleasure to work with. We always looked forward to hearing from her and hope to do business with her again. Thanks Karen.

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. When it came time to negotiate, Maha and Joy were knowledgeable, strategic, and a strong advocates for us. Their expertise made a real difference, and we felt supported throughout the entire process.

I hired Peter Boggs to sell my home in The Dunes community in Marina, California, and the result…read moreexceeded my expectations--we were in escrow within 24 hours. I initially reached out to Peter because he was the only real estate agent who had successfully sold homes in The Dunes this year, and it was clear he understood the market better than anyone else. After working with him, I can see why. What really stood out was his pricing strategy. There was an identical home with the same floor plan just two doors down that had been sitting on the market for weeks, but Peter positioned my home differently and created immediate demand. He made sure the property showed at its absolute best by coordinating professional window cleaning, staging, and high-end marketing, including HD photography and drone footage. Within just a few hours of the home hitting the market, Peter personally showed the property to a buyer whose agent couldn't make it--and those ended up being the buyers who purchased the home. I had to leave the state during the process, and Peter handled everything. He managed the entire listing, communication, and logistics so I didn't have to worry about anything. He also provided a clear electronic timeline for the pre-listing and escrow process, along with consistent updates, so I always knew exactly where things stood. When it came time to close, we needed to complete a remote online notary, and Peter's escrow team handled it seamlessly without any delays. He was extremely proactive with city requirements as well. He identified issues early and personally took care of them, including moving a pergola and shed to meet City of Marina requirements so there were no problems for the buyer during escrow. Peter is a real estate agent on the Monterey Peninsula who knows how to price, prepare, and position a home to sell quickly and efficiently. If you're selling a home in Marina--especially in The Dunes--you want him representing you.

The BEST Realtor on the Monterey Peninsula is Peter Boggs!…read more Buying a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions you'll ever make. Choosing the right Realtor made all the difference for us. After working with Peter Boggs, my husband and I understand why he is consistently one of the highest-rated Realtors on the Monterey Peninsula. One of the easiest individuals to communicate with, it oftentimes felt as if we were talking with a knowledgeable, trusted friend in Peter. He guided us through every step of the process with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. From the moment our offer was accepted until the day we received the keys, Peter orchestrated one of the smoothest, fastest, and most seamless escrows we could have imagined. We closed in just 14 days on a turnkey home in one of the Monterey Peninsula's most sought-after neighborhoods. That doesn't happen by accident. It happened because of Peter's local experience and presence, close working relationships, attention to detail, and transparent and clear communication. Like some buyers today, we thought we could do most of the legwork ourselves. We searched every real estate website daily, perused Reddit, explored neighborhoods, and toured open houses whenever we visited Monterey. What we quickly learned is that technology can help you find listings--but it cannot replace an exceptional Realtor. Because we resided out of town, Peter became our trusted eyes and ears. He toured homes for us, sent detailed videos and photos, answered countless questions, and gave us candid objective feedback. He met with home inspectors, contractors, engineers, and even potential neighbors on our behalf. He never tried to hurry or pressure us to buy a house; instead, he helped us determine whether each property was truly the right fit for our lifestyle and long-term goals. One of Peter's greatest strengths is his ability to educate his clients. He taught us to look beyond beautiful staging and fresh paint. We learned about coastal construction, deferred maintenance, moisture intrusion, salt-air exposure, inspections, resale value, future repair costs, and, most importantly, the overall quality--or "bones"--of each home. That knowledge saved us from making an expensive mistake. We fell in love with one home that appeared perfect, but Peter identified years of deferred maintenance. Walking away was difficult, but looking back, it was absolutely the right decision. Instead of settling, Peter encouraged us to stay patient and trust the process. He often reminded us: "There is a home for every buyer." He was right. Not long afterward, we found the home we were truly meant to own. Looking back, Peter didn't just help us buy a house. He helped us build the life we had imagined. And if finding the perfect home wasn't enough, Peter gifted us with the most beautiful housewarming surprise. He gave us a hand-painted portrait of our home by local Monterey artist Stacey Gregory, along with a top-shelf bottle of nice champagne and other thoughtful gifts. Every time we see that custom painting hanging in our home, we are reminded of our new life and the person who made it possible. If you are searching for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, well connected, and genuinely committed to his clients, we recommend Peter Boggs without hesitation. His extremely personable and likable style makes the inherently stressful home buying experience unbelievably memorable. He truly believes there is a home for every buyer. Thanks to Peter Boggs, we found ours. We will always be grateful!
