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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

When I was moving to Placerville from San Francisco and looking for a home, Sheri really gave me guidance to understand the process, to target neighborhoods and properties that were well suited to my needs, to steer clear of potential problems I hadn't even anticipated, and her knowledge went *so far beyond* anything I could have found online or through any other method. 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.

Sheri is very personable but what I really appreciate is her ethical practices and above board manner. I would highly recommend her to any one selling or buying a home in the area. Thanks so much Sherri!

I was fortunate enough to find the most amazing agent, Kelli Griggs Navigate Realty, while I was…read moresearching home prices on Zillow. Kelli was very responsive and scheduled a meeting with me the same week to discuss selling my home. She was easy to talk to and listened attentively as I explained the reasons for selling. We scheduled a second meeting where she presented her experience and research on sales in my area. 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. The team goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional selling experience. They kept me informed of each step of the process (staging, repairs, painting), they were available whenever I had questions, and provided consistent support. I was selling my house to start a new chapter in my life and I could not have done it without this team. They really are an amazing group of individuals who are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about their clients. I can't thank them enough for making this next chapter in my life possible.

Every so often you come across a real estate agent that is exceptional, and Kristen and Jason…read moreWeckworth are those agents! They have all the qualities that you expect in a first class real estate agent - they're both responsive, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and diligent. They know how to stage a home for sale, they have built a strong support team, and they have an excellent network of handymen, cleaners, and gardeners. They truly are one-stop... or two stop, there's two of them you see! ;-) Kristen and Jason really go the extra mile for their clients. For example, they spent an enormous amount of time helping me to arrange furniture, landscaping, and other aspects of my home to ensure it showed well. They also took the time to listen to me and understand what was important to me in selling a home, and ensured that their priorities reflected my own. I never felt pressured or forced into a decision or strategy that I didn't agree with. One very unique attribute of this husband and wife team is their fantastic communication. Whether by phone, text, email, or in person meetings, I always felt connected to their process through constant communication and response to my questions and inquiries. As a team, they are a seemless extension of each other, and I felt like I was truly part of their team. Just the idea of selling or buying real estate can be stressful. I interviewed multiple agents and didn't know Jason or Kristen from the start, but I developed a sincere sense of trust in their negotiation strategy and incredible skill. Now I can even say that we have become friends! When you are selling a high end property, you need an exceptional agent. The thing that makes Kristen and Jason exceptional is that they have owned and run their own commercial business. This gives them the edge when it comes to negotiating and handling one of your most important financial assets. I strongly recommend Kristen and Jason Weckworth, and I can't fully express how happy I have been with such a successful transaction for my luxury home and property.

Even with all of that, her level headedness and calmness throughout the entire process was also a breath of fresh air. We have had the opportunity to work together through the years and I feel blessed every time that she is on the other side of the transaction.

Stephanie Shrum was a literal SAINT to work with…read more She went above and beyond for my partner and I during our search for our very first home. We were buying a house from long distance (over 1,000 miles away) and couldn't look in person. But Stephanie took such good care of us by taking videos, doing walk throughs, and connecting us with all the local people we needed, that we didn't feel at a disadvantage at all. From day 1, Stephanie made us feel like her main priority (even though we know she is a busy lady). She worked diligently with us on the daily to nail down exactly what we were looking for in a home. I swear she knew what we wanted before we even did! Throughout the entire negotiation process, she had our best interest at heart and was a quick problem solver. She found us the home of our dreams, for a great price, from over 1,000 miles away and held our hands through the whole transaction. Even after it was all said and done, she has gone out of her way to help us out and make our first home buying experience (and move across the country) a delightful and smooth process. Including prepping our home so that when we walked in it was ready for a good first night's sleep. The attention to detail was unbelievable and she truly listened to our needs and exceeded every single one of our expectations. We could not recommend her enough!!! Thank you Stephanie Shrum for everything!
