We recently purchased a home in West Sonoma County while living full time quite a distance away…read more The process was beyond smooth - it was FUN - and that's all thanks to Autymn and Chelsea. They not only were able to quickly identify numerous properties that met our criteria, but also were willing to provide virtual/video tours when we could not travel to view the home in person. When it came time to make an offer, Autymn and Chelsea were there to advise us and help us determine terms that were to our advantage and felt good. They supported us during a packed physical inspection period, spending an entire day (plus several hours on two other days) onsite after booking inspectors for a variety of trades and areas. Most importantly, they arranged for inspections we didn't even realize we should have (like our water filtration system - kind of important in hindsight!). They represented us well throughout escrow, ensuring that negotiations were respectful while holding firm in our priorities. In short, they worked their butts off while making the entire experience a breeze for us. KB Properties is worth every penny they earn, and then some. We wholeheartedly recommend them, and intend to use them for any future real estate needs we have in the area.

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.

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.

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

I am honestly not sure a 5 out of 5-star rating is enough for Rhonda--she truly deserves so much…read moremore! We first worked with Rhonda 20 years ago when she sold our house. She made that process incredibly fast and effortless, bringing in multiple offers without a hitch. So, when we recently decided to buy a new home, returning to her was the easiest decision we could have made, and she completely exceeded our expectations once again. Rhonda perfectly balances being incredibly sweet with being fiercely professional. When we found a house we originally wanted, she drafted a flawless offer. Unfortunately, the sellers decided they wanted more than their asking price, and we were crushed. Rhonda didn't miss a beat; she immediately jumped into action, pivoted, and ended up finding us our absolute dream forever home. Knowing exactly what it takes to win in this market, she crafted the perfect offer letter and fought hard to get it accepted right before the house even hit its first weekend open house. After that, she put the entire process on cruise control for us. We closed in under 3 weeks, and we barely had to lift a finger. Rhonda handled absolutely everything and went far beyond what is expected of a real estate agent to take the stress out of the process. She scheduled all of our inspections and followed up on the findings, personally took specific photos of the house to satisfy our home insurance requirements, and seamlessly set up the title and signing. She even provided us with her trusted, local contact list for a handyman, cleaning person, and appliance repair. If you want an agent who will guide you with genuine care and handle every single detail from start to finish, call Rhonda. We are so incredibly grateful to be in our forever home!

Thera, the owner of Sonoma Coast Living Real Estate, was a dream to work with when we decided to…read moresell our home on the Sonoma Coast. She really knows the market and executed on her well-thought-out strategy to close the deal. Rural and coastal properties are tricky to sell. So we needed someone with experience. Thera and her team are knowledgeable of the entire process - from marketing our home, bringing in potential buyers, proactively managing any possible pitfalls, and guiding us through the escrow process. All of our calls and emails were answered promptly, which doesn't happen with all realtors. She made us feel we were her only priority, which I know isn't true:) She has so many beautiful listings on her website. After all her years in real estate, Thera is at the top of her game and we were truly lucky to find her. She covers the entire Sonoma Coast besides Bodega Bay: Jenner to Timber Cove to Sea Ranch. It was such a positive experience that I wanted to write this review. We highly recommend her if you are selling or buying on the Sonoma Coast.

My wife and I met Thera Buttaro at an open house in Bodega Bay last summer. Although we were not…read moreready to buy a home at that time, Thera was very helpful and willingly answered all of our questions about the area, home prices, etc. We remembered Thera this spring when we decided to move forward with buying a Bodega Bay house. She helped us find the home of our dreams, walked us through the process of making an offer and completing all the inspections. With Thera's help we were able to complete our purchase in less than a month! We have nothing but good words for Thera. She made purchasing our home, which is now a somewhat complicated process, very easy and stress free. We highly recommend Thera if you are in the market to buy or sell a home in the Bodega Bay Area. Her professionalism, knowledge of the area, and connections with various tradespeople really impressed us.

As a long-distance buyer relocating from Boston to Santa…read moreRosa, I needed a realtor who could handle all the challenging homebuying logistics in California--and Kimberly exceeded every expectation. During my initial weekend visit, she quickly understood my preferences and helped me narrow down my search. When a promising property came on the market after I returned to Boston, she provided such a thorough video tour that I felt like I was walking through it myself. Her responsiveness, knowledge, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process remarkably smooth. Kimberly truly went above and beyond at every turn. She coordinated inspections, arranged for deep cleaning before my move-in, signed for my new bed delivery and setup, and even agreed to receive my car delivery over the Christmas holidays. As a newcomer to California, I was overwhelmed with logistics, but she guided me through everything from acquiring insurance in a fire-risk area to understanding the nuances of Oakmont Village's different sub-HOA requirements. She connected me with reliable inspectors, contractors/handymen, and service providers, drawing on her extensive network and experience flipping homes with her husband. Whether answering questions herself or quickly connecting me with the right expert, her follow-through was impeccable. If you're buying a home--especially from out of state--Kimberly is the best!

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.
