We had a…read morecomplicated real estate transaction--having to sell a rental property in the eat bay and buying a rental property in Carmel. The sale process had many details and was also time sensitive. Juan in his amazing way did all the work behind the scenes reassuring me that everything was going to go well--and it did! Our purchase in Carmel was seamless. We ended up purchasing a lovely fixer. I am not local to Carmel and what is really awesome is that Juan comes from a building background and he knows the breadth of contractors and what the construction work entails. He has been an endless source of support and guidance as I embark on the building project. If you are looking for a calm and confident realtor who has your agenda/constraints in the forefront--Juan is for you.

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!

Harlan was great to work with. He was always professional, knowledgeable and conscientious. He is thoroughly organized and tech savvy, which was great for us because during the rebuilding we lived out of the area and Harlan stayed in close touch with us every step of the way, computer to computer. He was very flexible in meeting with us on weekends, which was usually necessary. Harlan has excellent relationships with the people he works with in all capacities - subcontractors, suppliers, the County and others in related fields. As a result, we had complete confidence in his judgment and business practices. In many cases he improved on ideas we had and recommended finishes, colors, stone and fixtures that transformed our vision into reality and often saved us money. He met deadlines, worked within budgets and followed through on the details. We are now happily living in our beautiful new home and we couldn't be more pleased than to tell you about Harlan's good work.

Danette Roberts is the most "on it" individual that I have ever worked with. She is hard working,…read morediligent, patient - and you can trust her. I called for an appointment to list my home with her, and she met with me at my convenience, in my home. She listened to my goals, and spoke straight with me. She had my home listed in the multiple listing within hours, and brought me two offers within four days. My phone calls to her at (831) 277-5936 were answered immediately and personally, or she returned my call in a short time. She guided me regarding which offer was best to accept for my goals, how to counter offer for great results, and escrow closed on time. I have known Danette as a Realtor for two years, and saw her give her all to properties which were very difficult to sell. She is tenacious, you can count on her to get the job done with panache, and good will all around.

However, as our family moved through the process - our search for a home became a little more daunting. Our son was developing relationships in the neighborhood, there was little on the market in Sq Footage we desired, we were now tying ourselves to a specific model home, in a very specific neighborhood. About to give up, a house came on the market - Danette made herself available to show us the home immediately and helping to come up with an offer. Since there were some personal things that came into play with our move - we both discussed doing a letter to share a bit of our story. We also knew that actually doing a VA Loan was not really to our advantage. Most sellers do not want to deal with VA. Danette provided us with an excellent referral to handle the mortgage lending, with someone experienced with VA loans, she also had her own ideas on how to present our offer to be more attractive to the seller. A few days later our offer was accepted and the process from there was great. We love our home and the decision to move. The Jones family is happy.

I felt relaxed & confident in front of the screen. What made it so much easier, even though I memorized the script, was having the teleprompter right there within the face of the camera (IPad) so all I had to do was read the script & it looked as if I was looking directly into the camera. Mike operated the camera & interviewed me at the same time, which went smoothly in one take, but we did 2 just as backup. We shot at the golden hour, around 3pm, which made the video/ photos turn out stunning! He also took shots of me posing in workout stances to assist the verbal testimonial.

the problem with LB is they are all talk and no action. They repeatedly bypassed and/or over road…read moremy ideas in favor of a more expedient and profitable design that they tried to sell me on whilst fabricating false barriers to going with my choices. They lied. Each contract is "non refundable" and releasing the design we prepaid was contingent on paying more money and signing more contracts with each contract extending the start time and each contract manipulating the scope of work to add to their profits. We expected a three to four month turn around from design to completion based on our initial meeting, and it took 5 1/2 months just to get the first draft of the design that was not to scale and didn't have corrections. Because they increased the price tag without ever breaking ground and the extended the projected completion date, we fired them. The new contractor started demolition within days, did an impeccable job remodeling the area I wanted remodeled, and was on time and on budget even with additional work for other repairs. LB are not trustworthy. Don't waste your time and money with Them. By the way, other contractors considered our job to be "small".

Because the…read moreremodel took place when we were living a couple of hours away, we appreciated having the engineer, architect, designer, etc. all working on the same team. We didn't experience the coordination difficulties that others endure when working with separate companies on the same project. LB does high quality, innovative work and we felt confident that they would complete the work on time. From what we've heard from others who tried the permit process on their own, we never could have done that ourselves as easily or quickly as LB was able to do. They are true experts, and made suggestions about things we didn't even anticipate we would need. It didn't take long for fabulous designer Valerie to understand our needs and style. It was helpful that she did not overwhelm us with choices, and we knew that if we didn't like the options presented she was willing to bring new options. But that rarely happened because she is simply the best. Whenever we encountered unexpected challenges when uncovering the structure of our aging home, we appreciated Dan and Tony's "can-do" attitude at problem solving. We were relieved when some challenges with the home's structure were addressed with the choice of some creative, economical solutions in order to respect our budget. Our funds were fixed, so we really appreciated the team's efforts at getting us the most value from our decisions. The online portal was a convenient way to keep track of messages, photos, selections, and invoices. The 3D rendering helped us visualize the new space and it even showed us where each piece of our existing furniture would go. Something that I think separates LB from other companies are the personal touches we encountered; they were a pleasant surprise, and made us feel part of the family. As we approach the end of our remodel it is nice to know that it is under warranty, and we can easily make a request on the portal to address any future issues. We wouldn't hesitate to use LB again and highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel, but especially those who want the project done right the first time while living/working elsewhere. Heartfelt thanks to Dan, Valerie, Tony, Sal, Brook, Matt, and the rest of the LB team!
