They were so helpful in helping us understand the area and all the ins-and-outs of what we should know about owning a home in such a unique location. They spent a whole day showing us around to comparable properties, and they were so enjoyable to be around. They were friendly, knowledgable and professional. Once we were ready to move forward they helped keep everything organized and on track, from finding a broker, insurance, inspections, etc. We live a few hours away, so having their help through that process was essential.

They helped us quickly see and evaluate the house, guided us through making a strong and timely offer, and stayed closely engaged with every important detail throughout the entire transaction. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and we felt so well cared for at every step of what can otherwise be a stressful and complex process. What truly set Ian and Cory apart, though, was the care and genuine connection they brought to the experience. It was clear from the start that helping us buy a home was more than just a transaction or a service to them. They were truly invested in us as a family and in supporting a smooth, grounded transition into this next chapter of our lives. Even after the sale closed, their support didn't stop. As we settled into our new home and into the Sebastopol community more broadly, Ian and Cory continued to show up--connecting us with local services, trusted vendors, and people we needed as we got ourselves set up. That ongoing generosity and sense of partnership meant so much to us. Ian and Cory are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and detail-oriented real estate agents, and truly wonderful humans to work with. We are deeply grateful for their guidance and partnership and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Sebastopol or throughout West County.

Tim is experienced, wise, and a real asset when it comes to buying or selling a home. Our mortgage…read morebroker says "Tim knows how to get the deal done," and that is the truth. For my wife and I, we weren't interested in a pushy, alpha realtor. Tim's steady hand is exactly what is needed in a real estate transaction. We looked for 8 months (!) and he never dropped the ball or showed impatience. He is kind, thoughtful, and sees the big picture. Tim's expertise showed when it came to evaluating properties, submitting offers, and completing the deal. We ended up purchasing a HUD foreclosure, which has its own particular set of challenges. Tim deftly navigated through all the potential pitfalls and we're actually closing earlier than planned. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. These days, anyone can find properties instantly on the internet. The real test for a realtor is prudence, experience with deals, and follow-thru. I could not be more pleased than with TIm Johnson.

Tim worked with us for months trying to find a house. Our budget changed part way through the…read moreprocess and he was always patient and attentive. He is very easy going, but pays close attention to detail, has excellent follow-through, and his years of experience show. I did not want a realtor that was pushy or tried to sell us on certain houses. While our house hunt was quite frustrating (we looked at over 25 houses), Tim's attitude was always upbeat and friendly. He always engaged our kids while we looked around at the houses, and as an added bonus, is a master gardener, so I got lots of good tips from him along the way. I would recommend Tim to anyone looking for a realtor in Sonoma County. He is a pleasure to work with, and excellent at his job. We will miss hanging out with him, now that we finally found a house.

Worked with Milli to sell our house in Rio Nido. Trust me, you want to work with her.read more

Here is a realtor that I found really nice to have on my side. Milli helped me find the home that I…read morewas looking for. It took months of driving around and hunting and she never lost her smile or cool. She was very professional and friendly. Once we found the home that we were looking for, she went to work and made it all happen. She listed our home and it sold in a matter of days to a great buyer. She then worked some kind of magic against a very difficult sellers agent. She eventually got everything worked out and now we are on our way to our new home. I really appreciate the persistence, motivation, drive, energy, kindness, and now friendship. We are looking forward to our next property that we will be buying soon. We will be calling Milli Cannata. She will be making it happen again! In the meantime, I will be referring Milli to every person that I feel is a proper fit for the great and positive energy that she shares. Great job Milli! Thank you.

Not just any Port in a Storm…read more Buying a home in Northern California is extremely stressful -- even in the best of times -- and these are not the best of times. Coming from another state also presents a rather steep learning curve, the wood loving pests don't die here, and California has millions of confusing regulations -- laws that present the deceptive appearance of protecting you from tragedy, but mostly seem to have massively increased the amount of paperwork you are supposed to make sense of. Choosing a knowledgeable realtor to guide you through troubled waters has probably never been more important, (but not easy, considering there seem to be far more realtors than houses in this part of the world). Laurie was that safe harbor in the storm for us, and I can't recommend her enough. Not my first rodeo, as I've bought a home before and made my fair share of mistakes (watch out for massive trees next to your foundation), but since we were buying a home while living in another state, and running a business at the same time, we really needed a realtor who was going to go far above and beyond what most seem to do. We needed her to completely handle more than a few series of inspections (house, pests, well, water quality, roof, permit history, etc. etc.), and be able to make sense of those inspections. We also needed her to manage a non typical escrow and line up contractors and tradespeople we could trust. Laurie kept on top of a million balls in the air the whole time. Choose wisely friends, and choose Laurie. It's likely the most important purchase of your life.

She guided us through the process start to finish with her professionalism, communication, hard work and market knowledge, but with the same care and warmth.

Thank you again for the support in selling our home. Highly recommend.

From beginning to end, she brought not only consummate professionalism and deep expertise, but also kindness, integrity, and genuine care for our family and our goals. Her communication skills are outstanding: clear, responsive, and always a step ahead. We felt informed and supported throughout every step of both transactions. As both sellers and buyers, Rhonda offered us astute, accurate guidance that kept us on track and moving gracefully forward. Her warmth and calm made our interactions a pleasure. It's no surprise that she is so highly regarded by other local agents--she brings people together and makes even complex negotiations feel collaborative and smooth. Beyond her talent and professionalism, she's simply a wonderful human being. Thoughtful, calm under pressure, and truly invested in her clients' wellbeing, Rhonda turned what could have been a stressful process into a journey of trust and confidence. If you are buying or selling in Sonoma County, you could not ask for a better advocate and partner. We are so grateful to have worked with her--not once, but twice--and would do so again without hesitation.

These contacts proved quite beneficial to us when updating some of the homes' needs. "Above and Beyond " would describe Mallory to a T. often meeting with us on short notice...or meeting with us cross-town to swap paper work or even transfer luggage on one occasion!

One of the big advantages to working with Mallory is she grew up in the Russian River Valley. She can drive through neighborhoods and literally point out every street that is at risk of flooding, what each neighborhood is like and hidden gems that you might not have found. She is able to easily be honest about what you will find for your price and is no pressure. Best of all though, Mallory is fun to be with and see homes. She found us the perfect house. She recommended us a local lender that specializes in the area and kept everyone on track for a smooth and quick closing. I can't say enough how much I appreciate all she did for us.

When we decided on a house to make an offer on, David wrote up the contract and we had an accepted offer within 48 hours! From start to keys in our hands was 20 days and David was by our side every step of the way. I would highly recommend David Millar and Russian River Land and Home for any of your real estate needs.
