She knows Vallejo well- from neighborhoods and specific properties to a network of amazing, talented trades people to help care for your property at competitive prices. Diana sold my husband and his parents their homes in the past and recently helped us sell our home in Vallejo and purchase another home. During the sale of our property in Vallejo, some issues arose with our neighbor. Diana provided sage advice and handled the issues like a total pro. I truly don't believe that any other realtor would've been able to provide this level of advice and service to ensure our house stayed in contract and sold quickly (closed less than a month after listing). She also helped to keep my husband and I grounded while we went through all the stress. She provides great service from a stager to home inspections up front to ensure that home sales move fluidly. She truly wants the best for her buyers/sellers and doesn't pressure you into making decisions but instead helps you examine the pros and cons of various decisions. You won't be disappointed with the service and expertise you will receive from Diana. I give her an A++ and I'm hard to please!

    Words can't fully express my gratitude for Art Ramirez…read more This was my first time ever dealing with anything like this, and to say it was overwhelming would be an understatement. My cousin passed away and named me the executor of his estate. I suddenly found myself responsible for selling his home while trying to navigate the probate process, with deadlines approaching and no idea where to even begin. Out of nowhere, I started getting flooded with phone calls and letters from real estate agents. At first, I couldn't understand how they even knew about the house. Being completely new to probate, I was already stressed, grieving, and trying to figure everything out. Most of the agents I spoke with sounded like they were only interested in getting the listing. You could hear the hunger in their voices, and that was the last thing I needed during such a difficult time. Then Art called. From our very first conversation, he introduced himself, asked about my situation, and simply listened. I told him honestly that I didn't know much about what was happening with the house. Instead of trying to pressure me or sell himself, he told me that if I ever had questions, I could reach out and he'd be there to help. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just genuine kindness. As time went on, we talked a few more times, and each conversation confirmed that Art was the right person for the job. He didn't just care about selling a house he cared about my story, the probate process, the estate, and making sure everything was handled the right way. That meant more to me than I can put into words. Art went above and beyond in every way. He walked me through the process step by step, answered every question I had, communicated constantly, showed up when he said he would, and always kept me informed. Going through probate isn't easy, especially when it's your first time. To be honest, my attorney wasn't much help throughout the process. Thank God for Art. His professionalism, knowledge, dedication, and passion made one of the most stressful experiences of my life manageable. When challenges came up, he didn't make excuses he found solutions. He fought tooth and nail to get everything done, and just in the nick of time we crossed the finish line and successfully sold the house. Looking back, I truly believe that if I had chosen someone else, I would have been left to figure everything out on my own. This wasn't a simple transaction it was a complicated, emotional situation, and Art never made me feel like just another client. He stood by me every step of the way. That's the difference with Art Ramirez. You're not just hiring a Realtor. You're getting someone who genuinely cares about you, understands what you're going through, and will fight for you as if it were his own family. As Art always says, "No excuses." And he lives by those words. If you're reading this because you're looking for a real estate agent, look no further. Art Ramirez is the one you want in your corner. I'm proud to not only call him my Realtor, but also my friend. He will be the only Realtor I ever call. Thank you for everything, Art. I'll never forget what you did for me.

    You will NOT regret working with Art Ramirez and his team. He is incredibly knowledgeable about…read moreboth the process and the area. He's very good at helping you understand everything and is great about staying in contact/keeping you informed. If you ever have a question or concern- he's there.

I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't the easiest of clients - a very nervous first time homebuyer who had a bad experience with a previous realtor - that's a lot of baggage to bring to the table but Maxine was FANTASTIC. She's got a critical eye when walking through homes and a great ability to help you think through if it's YOUR house or not. This isn't just a job for Maxine, it's really important to her to find the right house to be a home. She has a crackerjack team and a wonderful partner, Helen Yong. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Maxine. My home buying process was smooth and stress free - because of Maxine. And just an added benefit - she's super nice!

While we were selling our home, Maxine was thoughtful in the way she scheduled showings, always mindful of our toddler's schedule. She was able to get us an amazing offer on our house, and we couldn't be happier or more appreciative! The entire transaction went smoothly and was as stress-free as selling your home could possibly be :) Purchasing our new home was also a very smooth transaction thanks to Maxine. We put an offer on our home after it being on the market for only a day. With Maxine's expert advise, we made a strong offer and it was accepted! She negotiated excellent terms when the house didn't appraise, and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Maxine worked hard throughout the entire process and we will be forever grateful!! We wouldn't be in our forever home without her

Our home has finally closed, and I can honestly say I don't think we would have made it to the finish line without her. This wasn't a simple transaction. Between unexpected challenges and everything else life threw at us, there were plenty of opportunities for things to fall apart. Christine never let that happen. She stayed on top of every detail, kept everyone accountable, communicated constantly, and always made sure we knew what was happening. When problems came up, she didn't make excuses--she found solutions. That's a rare quality. During one of the most difficult times my family has ever been through, Christine showed patience, compassion, and determination that went far beyond what I expected from a Realtor. She genuinely cared about getting us across the finish line, and it showed in everything she did. If you're looking for someone who will work hard, tell you the truth, fight for your best interests, and never quit when things get complicated, Christine Holt is the Realtor you want in your corner. Christine, thank you for everything you did for our family. We will never forget it, and I recommend you without hesitation

    I am a homeowner who entrusted Krystle Properties with managing one of my rental properties, with…read moreevery intention of eventually transferring additional properties to their management. Unfortunately, that will not be happening. In fact, I am now counting the days until I can terminate my contract. From the very beginning, my experience has been marked by constant changes, poor communication, and repeated excuses. My rental payments were delayed for several months, and only after the fact was I informed that this was "normal" for Section 8 rentals. This expectation was never communicated to me before I signed my management agreement. Communication has remained consistently poor. I discovered accounting errors and had to bring them to the company's attention myself. When I politely--but firmly--expressed my concerns, I was told that I still had 30 days to cancel my contract before being committed for the remainder of the year. Had my circumstances allowed at the time, I would have ended the relationship then. Since that conversation, the situation has only worsened. I have now gone without receiving rental payments and have had more than 25 phone calls ignored or left unanswered. When I contacted the Vice President seeking assistance, I did not receive a direct response. Instead, another staff member contacted me three days later to schedule a meeting for the following week. When I called for my appointment, I was told he was very busy and asked to reschedule the appointment. While all of this was occurring, I contacted the Housing Authority directly and was informed that payments had been issued to Krystle Properties, but there were issues with the company's bank account. However, when I have finally been able to reach someone at Krystle Properties, usually only by calling from a different phone number, I have been told the exact opposite. I am now in my second consecutive month without receiving my rental income. Despite repeated attempts to obtain answers, no one from the company has returned my calls to explain the situation or provide a resolution. Yet, Krystle Properties continues to deduct its 10% management fee. I have also requested a modification to my management agreement, but I have been told that only the Vice President can approve such a change, and I have been unable to speak with him despite multiple attempts. Additionally, my management agreement states that I am to be contacted before repairs are authorized. Instead, I discovered charges on my account for repairs that I neither approved nor authorized. As a property owner, I have lost confidence in Krystle Properties' ability to manage my funds, communicate professionally, and fulfill the obligations outlined in our agreement. My experience has been extremely frustrating and has raised serious concerns about the company's financial management, responsiveness, and overall business practices.
