I have worked with a few different realtors and she is hands-down, the best!!! She looked for exactly what our family needed and wanted! She walked us through the whole process with closing and even educated on the process every step of the way. Peggy is such amazing person to work with even after closing, she still helped us with details of the town. I've told my family and friends that I definitely want to adopt her as our family member. She is so amazing! Every time there was a problem, she already had a solution. She definitely took the pressure off of our stressful situation. When the selling agent refused to fix things Peggy found away to get it fixed for us. If you are looking to work with competent and skilled realtor Peggy is your lady. I will highly recommend her to everyone!!! Peggy deserves a reward for her amazing worth ethic!!

I was very satisfied and pleased with Christina Souther's efforts to help me buy a house in…read moreParadise. Compared to five other local agents in town I had dealt with, Christina was excellent in all aspects of my purchase, including helping with my own due diligence by visiting town hall and searching public records on my behalf. As an out-of-town buyer that was very important to me, essential even. She also had the utilities turned on for the inspections and scheduled them. I was happy with her recommendations for inspectors. As well, she was timely and exact in replying to my many e-mails. Christina is a local girl, born 'n breed in Paradise. She can tell you things about neighborhoods unknown to agents who migrated in since the year 2000. I'll tell you about a few other agents I worked with so you'll understand what a jewel Christina is. The first one showed up at our first meeting without her special realtor's key to open lock boxes. I had to wait around until she went home and got the key. We looked at 10 or 15 houses that day, all ones I myself had found on the Internet. When we get back to the office, this kid asks if I want to make an offer on one of the places we looked. I'm thinking, "What a twit! I'm brand new to town, this is out first meeting, and already she's putting the pushy, hard-sell on me." On my second visit to look at more houses, she sends me an e-mail telling me this one place could be by "retreat". Another pushy sales technique to win a commission without doing much work. After the third trip to town I was ready to make an offer. Funny thing, it was on a house I had seen on my first visit. The kid brings in an experienced agent to assist in writing the offer. The sellers countered with a list of complicated conditions with grammatical and typographical errors. Rather than go back and forth with an offer, counter-offers, and counter counter-offers, I proposed writing a new offer. The experienced agent refused to do that. She said it would make her look unprofessional to write a new offer. Another agent worried more about herself and her commission than about helping me buy a house. I dumped them both and got on the Internet to find a new agent. One guy--you see his photo all around town--took two days to reply to my e-mail. Another sent me a kidde text with misspellings and the address wrong. Christina's reply was honest and well-written. She wrote a new offer on the house. That deal feel through when I came to believe both the sellers and their agent were dishonest with their disclosures. No matter, I bought another house. The purchase went very smoothly. Christina keep everything on track. Something I learned is how much work a buyer's agent must do after the contract is signed. For example, keeping an eye on the other agent, informing her own client, working with the lender, setting up escrow (which went perfectly) and a ton of other stuff.. All went well and we closed two weeks early. In summary, my experiences with Christina over almost two months convinced me that I made an excellent choice to help me find and buy a house.

My last move was from Florida to Chico, CA. to be closer to family. I rented until I was more situated to a new city. Both my children went to Chico State, so I wasn't totally unfamiliar. I always loved Chico charm. My daughter recommended Megan Haimbaugh to be my Realtor since she did such an awesome job for them. I found Megan at an Open House she was hosting and introduced myself. I had a 6-month lease so I let her know I was just getting familiar with neighborhoods, etc. and what I was looking for. It would be IDEAL, I told her, if I could live close to my daughter's family. Lo and behold! Megan sent me to look at a new listing, just getting on the market that day because she said it was perfect for me. It was earlier than I was thinking, but interest rates were rising and I didn't want to lose this opportunity. It was the right price, the right size, the best yard ever and only 4 blocks from my family! Megan is terrific. She is always looking out for me, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, answered all my questions and is so easy to work with. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. My life is forever changed for the better because of her hard work and dedication.

She was also very proactive and is a true leader, which personally I find to be a pretty rare thing. Usually I'm the one that has to guide people on how I want things done, but she had suggestions and ideas that I hadn't even thought of that turned out to be extremely valuable both monetarily and efficiency wise to the entire transaction. She actually made me money in this sale by using intelligent leverage that was a win-win for both buyer and seller. I have a fair amount of experience selling properties, so I was impressed by this. She's a true professional and knows her stuff very very well. I'm happy I chose Alice as my realtor because choosing the right realtor can be a real make or break situation. In the future I will definitely have her as my realtor every time for any real estate transaction.

We engaged Alice to find our new house and sell our old house based on positive recommendations we…read morehad received from friends. I wish there was a way to give her 6 stars - she did an excellent job with both transactions. We weren't very easy clients in regards to finding a house - we already had one we liked but wanted to upgrade to something better and we had a very narrow view of what would make us happy. So: We learned that Alice is helpful, knowledgeable, and very, very, very patient. We got to the point where we were about to gave up finding a house we like, and so we decided to build a house. When an unscrupulous builder ruined that plan, Alice pulled another miracle out of her hat the found us a house of a type and in a location we hadn't considered. We settled on a house and were in escrow. Now, this was amazing: While we were in escrow Alice called us and told us that a vacant lot (that we had previously wanted but at the time could not get) was going to become available. This call put Alice at risk of losing a lot of commission on us because the lot was, of course, a fraction of the price of the house we were in escrow with. And it meant she had to start all over again. But she did it. So: We learned that Alice is extraordinarily honest and truly concerned with making us happy homeowners. Selling our old house went quickly and smoothly and we got more money for it than anybody else has in our old neighborhood has since. We've been in our wonderful new house for several months now - and we still thank Alice for her part in making it happen. We will use Alice again.

I am writing this review from a Business to Business professional relationship with Sandi Bauman…read moreand her team. I find them to be communicative, professional, timely and, first and foremost to have their client's best interest in mind. Our goal from Staging to Home Selling is to give Sellers the education and tools they need to sell their property fast and for the most money possible. We give Buyers the opportunity to purchase a property that has been prepared for the market. One that has all concerns addressed so they feel comfortable with the transaction. We know that transactions happen quickly these days and preparing the property before it goes on the market is part of Staging and this is what the Sandi Bauman team understand when representing the Sellers. I've always had expert service with Sandi. She would not make it in this small town if there were any doubts among locals.

I worked closely with her and her clients for many years until I relocated to Tennessee in 2008. I always found Sandi to be very caring with her clients and always the consummate professional. I referred many clients to Sandi and handled many mortgage transactions for her clients during the 7 years that we worked together. Every client of Sandi's that I worked with always praised her for her professionalism, responsiveness to their needs, and for being readily accessible when they needed her. Even though I don't originate loans in California any longer I still have many, many contacts, past clients, and friends in the Chico and greater Sacramento area. Whenever I'm contacted by anyone looking for a Realtor in that area, Sandi Bauman and her team are always the first ones I recommend them too. I still stay in contact with Sandi and so proud of her for what she has accomplished from that first day I met her in the breezeway between my office in Paradise, CA and the Century 21 office next door. The broker that introduced her to me at that time told me, "I have to introduce you to this girl. She's new to the business but she's going to do big things." He could not have been more spot on in that prediction. Great job Sandi Bauman!!! I miss working with you!!
