Deborah Wood was referred to us by another RE/MAX realtor friend of ours…read more From our first meeting we were impressed with her professionalism and her optimism about selling our Scotts Valley CA home. Our goal was to sell our CA home by enough of a margin to afford a larger home outside of California. We first met with Deborah in November, 2020; placed our home on the market February 1, 2021; and ultimately sold our house in mid- to late-February, 2021. In getting the house ready for sale, Deborah prepared us for real-world potential problems and helped us meet various timelines. When a last-minute heavy rainstorm caused a roof leak, Deborah was not fazed and we were still able to go to market on February 1, 2021. While our Scotts Valley home did not sell at or above the asking price, Deborah was still able to negotiate terms with the buyer such that we reached our goal of selling our CA home by enough of a margin to buy outright a larger home outside California. Deborah was at all times professional and responsive to our many calls/emails. If she was going to be unavailable at any time, she provided us with plenty of advance notice. We recommend Deborah Wood as a realtor for anyone considering selling their home.

I found Jori through reviews on Google and decided to reach out to her to be our realtor. This was…read moreour first time buying a home and we had no idea what we were doing. Jori answered all of our questions, explained complicated things in terms we could understand, and was easy to reach when we needed her. We really appreciated that she is very honest and direct, pointing out potential issues in houses we viewed, and did not try to sway our opinion on anything we were not interested in. The whole process happened a lot faster than we expected but she helped us feel prepared. She made sure to go through each step of the closing process very thoroughly so we always knew what was going on and what needed to happen next. We had some problems after closing and she was still there to help us. Overall, Jori made the stressful process of buying a home feel manageable and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a home in the Gilroy area.

My husband and I became acquainted w/ Jori a few years ago when we first considered buying a home…read more A few years later, the time was right, and we called Jori again to help with the search of our first home. Happily, we found our home within 2 weeks, but that was when the hard work began. All I'll say is that we should have gone w/ Jori's recommendation for a mortgage broker. The large bank was not it! During the difficult, stressful month that followed (no thanks to you, large bank!), Jori was with us every step of the way. She was persistent and not at all shy about asking the tough questions and advocating on our behalf. She never failed to answer our many, many questions. She was always patient but forthright. I would not hesitate to recommend Jori Mayer, and she will be our first call should we decide to sell and buy again.

In June 2025, my sister and I made the decision to sell the rental property we jointly owned. Since…read morewe had never sold a home before, we were on unfamiliar territory. We interviewed four different realtors, and honestly, they all appeared to be trustworthy and knowledgeable individuals who could guide us through the sales process. After narrowing down our choices to two realtors, we requested proposals for selling our house from each of them. These proposals included information about the costs of necessary repairs and upgrades as well as estimated selling prices. During the interviews, it became evident that we were entering a buyers' market, which may limit our ability to achieve the desired selling price. In the end we chose Kaelin. Her proposal kept us within our budget for repairs and upgrades, and she was confident that she could sell the home for its fair market value. Our other 'finalist' was not so positive on achieving those goals. One of the daunting aspects of preparing to sell a home is finding reliable and trustworthy contractors to undertake the necessary work to prepare the property. Once you have these contractors, you need to ensure they begin work as soon as possible. Additionally, you must closely monitor the progress of the work to ensure it is completed on time and in the manner you desire. This becomes particularly difficult for owners selling a home that is located far from their primary residence, making it challenging to meet with contractors and monitor the progress. Kaelin truly shines in this role. She already knew the contractors we needed and managed to get them to provide us with quotes. Once approved, she swiftly put them on the job and ensured timely completion of the work. Initially, the ambitious goals we set together at the project's beginning seemed a bit too demanding, but we managed to meet them. When a buyer wanted to make an offer before the house went on the market, she made sure it was a strong and compelling offer that aligned with the high end of the sales price range she had specified in her original proposal. She also didn't hesitate to incur the cost of staging the property (she pays for this), as this demonstrated our readiness to proceed with other offers if theirs wasn't satisfactory. Long story short, she made it happen. We ended up putting in less money than we planned in repairs and upgrades and sold the property right at the high end of what she said she could do. We found Kaelin very easy (even fun) to work with over the 2.5-3 month timeframe as we went from planning and starting repairs & upgrades to closing escrow.

Kaelin is an outstanding real estate agent. She knows the market and can guide you in what to do…read moreand what not to do in preparing your house for sale. I can't speak highly enough of her integrity and doing whatever needs to be done to sell your home. In our case, we were not able to do the upgrades, as we had left the area. Kaelin jumped in and lined up contractors, supervised their work, and beautifully staged out home. She was always present at the Open Houses, followed up on leads, regularly communicated, and kept our best interests foremost in her thought and actions. I highly recommend her and her team. They kept us appraised the dates for the work, Open Houses, and any bills. Simply a wonderful, warm, and engaging agent with a dynamic team who will work with and for you!

Though I can't speak beyond our experience with one of Thunderbird's sales agents, our feedback is…read morenothing less than 5 out of 5 stars! I have no doubt that our agent, Ruth Bates could work for any real estate firm and help strengthen their reputation. Ruth consistently demonstrated customer service excellence, tribal knowledge of Santa Cruz County and cheerful, tiredless resolve to find just the right home for us. From the day we met, to the day we moved in.... I supect this sounds like we're related to Ruth or that we knew her before our intoduction interview. Truth be told, we just got lucky and from what I've heard from others who also bought or sold property with Ruth, we're not alone in our high praise. We love our home in Aptos and welcome the opportunity to reference Ruth and work with her again.

Thanks to Heidi Robinson with Thunderbird Real Estate, my home sold within one week of listing -…read morefor asking price. I was selling the home on behalf of my sister who had passed away several years ago. It was not a quick or easy process for me and Heidi was compassionate and patient, but firm, clear and always professional with her recommendations and guidance. She was realistic and did not over promise and I trusted her throughout the process. What also impressed me is Heidi's knowledge of real estate and willingness to teach me along the way - I ask a lot of questions and she patiently and expertly explained all the rules and procedures. She knows the industry, the laws and has good resources and contacts. This sale was a bit more work due to probate rules and trusts, but she and the escrow company guided me through and I felt well represented throughout. Her guidance in preparing the home was invaluable - the pictures looked great and the house showed well thanks to her suggestions. We had a ton of interest right away. I started the process last year (2017) and got sidetracked with work and family, then picked it up again this spring 2018. Heidi stuck with me and never pressured me - but when it was 'go-time' she was rock steady and made everything happen right away. I am very grateful for her skills, knowledge and experience and highly recommend her as your agent.
