Susan was immediately available but there is so much more. She truly cared about finding me a home that was right for me. Susan help manage my search and forwarded potential listings. She quickly pointed out structural issues when we toured a home. She is incredibly knowledgeable with the transaction process. Her transaction coordinator makes it so easy to know where I was in the process and what my next steps were. Susan worked closely with a 5 star broker to make a 20 day close. She quickly mitigated issues throughout the transaction; working late at night to make sure it got done. Susan is hardworking, honest, and such a pleasure to work with. In this competitive market, I wouldn't be in my ideal home without her.

She coordinated all of the various appointments and services and took care of all the details, even the tiny ones, Carolyn wasn't the first realtor I contracted to sell my home, but she should have been.

Take my advice: list or purchase your house with Carolyn and her team - and listen to her advice the first time. She knows what she's doing and can be trusted 100% to do the best job for you!

Carolyn is AMAZING. If you're looking for a realtor, stop looking and reach out to her…read more She was our buyer's agent and the entire process went incredibly smoothly. She's very organized, always punctual, incredibly friendly, listens to--and remembers--everything you say, and will spend as much or as little time as you want discussing any specific document or part of the process to ensure you feel comfortable. You quickly feel like you've known her for years. Having grown up in her service area, she also has a ton of knowledge about both the real estate and the surrounding culture, activities, and nature. When organizing home tours she included recommendations for restaurants, parks, and shops to help give us a sense of the broader community. We would ABSOLUTELY work with her again and if she chooses you as a client, know you're in great hands.

Mark made selling our old house and buying our new one feel surprisingly manageable. From the first…read moreconversation through closing on both sides, he was consistently attentive and patient, never rushed us, never made us feel like just another file. He kept us informed without flooding us with noise, answered questions quickly, and walked us through the parts that usually stress people out: pricing, showings, offers, inspections, and timing the two transactions together. When something came up, he stayed calm and explained the options clearly so we could actually decide instead of guessing. What stood out most was that he treated both deals with the same care. Selling and buying at the same time is a lot, and he handled the moving pieces so we didn't have to chase anyone down. We always knew what was happening next. If you want a realtor who listens, stays patient when the process gets messy, and actually follows through, Mark is the one we'd recommend without hesitation. We felt looked after the whole way through. Thanks Mark!

Our Intero Realtor in Placerville resigned for health reasons. We were told we then *had* to accept…read morea different Realtor now (sight unseen), after having our realtor since November. THIS happened without even being discussed with my husband or I. Intero will NOT provide a Cancellation of Listing. We asked three times. Four, really. We refused the request to work with "new realtor" (for an abundance of reasons), and the Broker of this office stated he could have Charles Manson sell our house if he wanted. Really? We have zero 'say', as the Sellers?? He wants to strong-arm us, bully us, and our Contract says nothing about remedies for this nonsense. The Broker lied to my husband and said he has text messages that shows we interacted with another Realtor. (We don't have one, sorry.) Show us. The Intero Broker says he will NOT let us out of our contract. Intero has indeed pulled our listing from MLS. Apparently, we are in a MLS HOLD - whatever that means. What is a HOLD? Intero has collected their sign. Apparently our house will be listed in the local paper tomorrow 01/18/2019. We never approved any marketing of the house -- that's the discretion of the Realtor. Intero is now holding our home hostage until April 29th, regardless of whether we sell or not. That's fine, I suppose. We only had 5 showings in 52 days. And NOBODY came to the Open House. NOBODY. Apparently the Broker will send us an invoice of what they've spent on marketing for our home. Scammers. I can imagine how much BS that will be. Clearly we aren't paying. Why would we pay? This is a corrupt and dishonest company. There is so much more to this story. We will be filing complaint(s). The hard lesson is this: the initial Realtor was a friend of mine. I'm clearly not great at picking friends. Also important to consumers - run background checks on who you are dealing with; i.e. any Realtor. It is worth it, to do a background check, in the long run, read every review, talk to former clients, check their former listings. Now, we've asked other Realty professionals "Is this normal?" Same response, "No, this is a malicious establishment." We don't want to work with you Intero. Holding us hostage is going to damage only your reputation in the long run.

This is an unforgivably belated review of Rich Curtis and his support in helping us find and buy a…read morehouse in Placerville last spring. Our only excuse is that until recently we have been preoccupied in selling our house in Southern California (the fact is that buying a house with Rich was a lot easier and faster that selling our house down south). Our experience with Rich was the best we have had in buying a house. We had been looking to relocate to the Gold Country area for over a year and engaged Rich for our search in the fall of 2016. Both my wife and I connected with Rich immediately - his easy-going personality was matched with a deep knowledge of the local area. He was very patient as we looked at properties - he understood that we weren't under any definite timeline and we had the luxury of waiting for the perfect property. The perfect property for us showed up online one morning and we immediately contacted Rich to arrange a showing, which he did the following morning. We were the first to view the property and quickly realized that we needed to move fast since we knew it wouldn't stay on the market long. Rich could not have been more efficient and expedient in getting an offer to the seller that same day, and negotiating against the Seller's counter that evening. We had an accepted offer that same day. The escrow process was very smooth with Rich coordinating all the inspections using his extensive vendor contacts. Since we were "city folk", Rich's advice and recommendations on adapting to a rural setting were invaluable to us. Rich's friendly yet professional personality made the whole process very enjoyable. Another reviewer said he is "a real human being" - that is spot on and something that sets him apart from a lot of agents we have encountered. If you are looking to buy or sell a property in Sacramento or Gold Country (including the greater Auburn and Placerville areas), we could not recommend an agent more highly than Rich.

Update (10/21/2015): Rich recently helped us purchase our second home, helping us convert our first…read morehouse into a rental property to move into our dream home. My review still stands. We couldn't (and wouldn't) have been able to navigate this transaction without his counsel; he went out of his way to help us figure out how to finance it, and put our mind to ease by ensuring that our home inspections would take any surprises out of the equation down the road. Buying a house is a very emotional and stressful life-changing event. After hearing many other stories about agents that simply go through the motions to make their commission, I can promise you that Rich is your best bet if you want to feel like you truly have somebody looking after your best interests, rather than his own. Original review: Rich Curtis helped us through the process of buying our first home several years ago; I've never met anyone so willing to go above and beyond to help a first-time home buyer through the process of not just searching for a new home, but learning about the ins and outs of the deal. He walked us through every step of mortgages, escrow, financing, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with that experience. He also put his experience in home energy and environmental evaluations to good use, educating us on the best way to save on bills and keep our air quality safe from toxins. In full disclosure, Rich has become a great friend to our family, so we may be a bit biased. But I'll stake my own name on this: Rich is somebody I trust to handle the most delicate details of any realty transaction, and I continue to wholeheartedly recommend him to my closest friends.

Once I realized how helpful she could be, I relied on her more and more, and she was able to find me the perfect property. I'm certain that I never would have found this place without her! In addition to her extensive local and regional knowledge, she is a great person to spend time with during the search. She is friendly, professional, big-hearted, and obviously loves her work. She made even the tedious stuff fun and easy. It has now been almost 8 years, and Sheri continues to follow up with me a couple of times per year, maintaining a great relationship. I have referred her to other people and gotten the same excellent feedback from them about her. Choosing a realtor is a big decision for such an important event as a home purchase, and I highly recommend working with Sheri.

I was impressed by her years of experience, her knowledge of the real estate market, and selling strategies. Her expertise and authenticity are what assured me I was in good hands. When you choose Kelli Griggs as an agent, you not only receive her individual knowledge and experience, you receive the knowledge and experience of her entire team, Chloe, Meghan and Jeff, and they are fabulous.
