First off... Andrew is the bomb!…read more I was referred by a friend to Andrew because I needed 3 years of both business LLC and personal taxes filed (state and federal). He gave me a discount and got everything done quickly. He helped itemize my write-offs so I didn't miss anything, and made sure I was in compliance since my business needed the taxes filed to bid for contracts. The whole process was simple. I never had to meet in person, just uploaded my documents, and he handled the rest. Everything was e-filed and invoicing was easy. Fast, professional, and reliable!

Andre As a lifelong…read morefriend, I already knew Andrew Haskins was someone I could trust, but watching him help my wife and me become first-time homeowners was truly incredible. Andrew handled everything from start to finish. He was our mortgage lender, our real estate agent, and our guide through the entire process. He found us the perfect home in a neighborhood close to our church, which was very important to us and our family. He negotiated a $10,000 seller concession and also secured a $6,500 lender credit, which significantly reduced our out-of-pocket costs at closing. What impressed me the most was how Andrew managed every part of the transaction at the same time. He ran our credit, handled all of the underwriting conditions, stayed in constant communication with the lender, and negotiated on our behalf as our buyer's agent. Everything was completed in just 20 days with no issues. My wife and I truly believe God placed Andrew in our lives at the right time. His professionalism, faith, and dedication made what seemed impossible become a reality. We are now proud first-time homeowners, and I highly recommend Andrew Haskins to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their taxes, mortgage, and real estate needs.

Ive always considered leaving reviews on services (both good and bad) throughout my life, and until…read morethis very moment, I have failed to do so. However, with such an incredible service, and most importantly, a massive contribution, pristine guidance, and whole hearted support in one of my ultimate dreams to come true, how can I not and why would not? Sergio is a rare gem in the real estate industry - a man of true morals, extensive knowledge, and incredible empathy, patience, and understanding. Sergio is not solely looking for a paycheck, but rather the best interest of his client - as if he were buying the home himself. As mentioned, buying a home has always been one of my ultimate dreams to come true, and quite frankly, the process of buying a home is very stressful and overwhelming. But with Sergio on my side, he really did help and support me through this entire process with ease and pro activity. Sergio demonstrated extreme patience and knowledge, pointing out flaws and detrimental factors of homes that I thought were wholesome houses. Without him on my side, I'm more than sure I would've regretted my home purchase due to pressure, impatience, and stress. I now sit back on my porch and admire my kids play on the front yard of our new home, I cannot thank Sergio enough. Please do not hesitate to purchase a home with Sergio by your side - you will experience this review yourself , and you definitely won't regret your decision of buying a house with Sergio. Again, from the three of us, thank you so much Sergio. May GOD bless you, your family, and your future endeavors

Linda Castellano, is an extraordinary real estate agent…read more Could it be that you're thinking that I have already began this critique by exaggerating her abilities? Well, I have not. Not in the least. I would consider myself to be a person that is highly qualified to judge Linda's performance as a real estate agent. Please let me give you some background. Once upon a time I was a licensed real estate broker and I had my own business in Orange County, California. Although I am now retired and have now been inactive from such a business for some thirty years; still, I feel qualified to judge Linda's moxie, knowledge, and abilities. Now you may be thinking that I'm out of touch with real estate today. Well, such would be true if one was questioning my competency as related to practices and procedures, which today, requires so much more than during my heyday. Many laws and requirements for disclosure have changed through the years. However, such does not disqualify me from being a good judge of a person's character. I'm speaking of traits that make for a good real estate agent. Such coupled with appropriate knowledge is a person that in many ways is unrivaled. You will soon learn that she is a top producer in her office. Buying and selling a home is not a simple matter for many people. This is especially true for those that are first time buyers or sellers. For most people it is only natural that such a purchase or sale is to be an emotional event in their lives. You need an agent that puts your needs above their own. Sounds simple; but most agents, although expressing sincere concerns to you, their client, they place their needs first. They will not admit that, but to them selling real estate is an income producing endeavor. With Linda, real estate is a love that rewards her for a job well done. Ask yourself: Why would a person such as me, with my background use an agent? Much of it has to do with competence. She sold my home when the market was not overheated; actually, in some respects the market was teetering. So, I ask you: How could I start from a sales price that was fair, albeit pushing the upper limits while still being considered fair, and still result in competition among buyers that got me an even better price? I could go on into ad infinitum on why you should choose to use Linda. Many buyers and sellers, in many ways, are their own worst enemy. Choosing an agent that is honest, trustworthy, and energetic is imperative. Now, it is your time to decide as to whom you want to represent you. She cannot produce miracles; but you can't get a better agent to do a superb job on your behalf. If your expectations are real, there is no better agent to have working for you. Bill W. Moreno Valley, CA

As first time homebuyers, we weren't quite…read moresure what to expect when we were paired with her through Zillow, but she made the home buying process simpler and easier than we would have ever imagined. She was very attentive and always available to talk when we had questions. She helped us get a competitive offer in on our dream home the same day we viewed it, even staying up late with us to make sure we got it in as quickly as possible. We appreciated Michelle's honesty and transparency, giving us honest feedback about our offer strategy and what to expect throughout the process. She explained things clearly in a way that made it easy to understand for a couple people with no experience in real estate. She was also instrumental in getting us help with lenders, home inspections, and final negotiations in escrow. All in all, we can't can't say enough good things about our experience with Michelle. And we certainly wouldn't have landed our home without her!

He answered every question we had no matter how big or small and always made himself available when we needed him.

He genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in helping them find the perfect home. We will always remember this milestone in our lives, and Elvis played a huge role in making it so special. We highly recommend Elvis Ramirez and Team Forss to anyone looking to buy or sell. You'll be in great hands!

I cannot say enough great things about Christian!…read more We live in NorCal and needed to sell our rental property. We wanted someone who could handle all aspects of the sale knowing we wouldn't be present. After reading other reviews and seeing how he has worked with several out of town sellers, and then speaking with him directly, we knew he was the right person! The first thing he did was hook us up with a handyman (who not only did a great job, but also in record time). He installed new LVP flooring, painting, installed countertops and more. After completion, Christian scheduled a house cleaner and then a photographer to promote the property. We got the house on the market in about 3 weeks with beautiful pictures and it sold immediately and it closed in 25 days. Through the entire process, Christian was very communicative and kept us in the loop the entire time. I can't imagine how this process could have gone any better! Highly recommend!!

While there were delays on the buyer's side, Christian stayed proactive, on top of communication, and pushed the transaction all the way to the finish line. We're very thankful to have had an agent who truly cared about the outcome and treated our home with the importance it deserved. Highly recommend!!

Best experience I have EVER had working with any real estate agent or Realtor!!…read more I've bought/sold two homes in the past working with at least 3 Realtors through the process and Liz and her team delivered the best experience BY FAR! My wife and I worked with Liz on the purchase of our new dream house in Orange County. From the start she was going above and beyond what we were expecting. We called rather suddenly when a property showed up on the market and scheduled to go see it with her. We weren't seriously looking before this. By the time we got to the property she and her team already had a good understanding of the history of the listing and were working comps real time to give us a clear understanding of what fair market value would be. Even adjusting it for what we were seeing in person at the property. We weren't certain if it was more of a buyer's market or a seller's market as it had been a seller's market for so long, but she explained the current conditions/trends of what she was seeing in the area and gave us EXCELLENT advice every step of the way. But she was also never pushy. She ultimately left it up to us to make the decision with the information she provided. We trusted her expertise and it absolutely paid off, literally. We got a deal on the property that we are very happy with. She offered great advice on everything from prices, timing, and even when to potentially walk away. Liz has a team of people that really seem to communicate as a team, not just a group of individuals working under the same company name. In passing conversations Liz talked about how she and her team work together, and it does seem like they get to share in each others expertise and experiences to develop a good understanding of the market. Liz also talked about what she does to train her team, and she seems like a great leader. No one looks left behind to fend for themselves, and it seems very structured so that everyone has support and training to deliver great customer service. Liz has a great reputation in the area which I think was a huge benefit in our case. The seller's Realtor already knew Liz and trusted her. We happened to meet the seller's Realtor, and even without Liz present, the seller's Realtor had nothing but great things to say about their interactions. Her expertise really does seem to be in demand as she seemed to be giving seminars or talks to audiences even outside of her team. Even with her busy schedule it never really impacted the scheduling of events at our home. She always still met us at the property for events like home inspections, walk throughs, and giving us the keys to the property. She always provided great communication and was very responsive whether it was through e-mail, calls or texts to help answer questions. I can be "particular" (picky) about some things and whenever I brought up a question or concern, no matter how small, she never dismissed it or tried to excuse it as something I didn't need to worry about. She took my concerns seriously and got them addressed. Out of everything, I think this is what I am most grateful for as it kept me comfortable working with her and I never felt like she was just trying to "close a deal", which was my preconceived notion of Realtors unfortunately. She really does seem to care for her clients and making sure they are happy. I would 100% work with Liz again!

Long story short: John's the man…read more Short story long? As with all first-time home buyers, the experience is overwhelming. From understanding your own finances to navigating the real estate market and endless terminology, it's easy to become paralyzed and lost in the storm. This is where John comes in; he is the lighthouse guiding you safely back to harbor. John has deep industry experience. He understands the market, what's out there, and exactly how the process works. Most importantly, he listens. He truly understands your situation and has your best interests at heart. John remembers your goals and what you said would make you happy, using that as a compass for every decision. At times when we couldn't find the right fit and I started to deviate, he would remind me of my original vision to ensure I didn't settle. I'm going to say it twice: he truly has your best interests at heart. I have a tendency to push my limits, and John wasn't afraid to step in and advise me when something might overburden my finances. He isn't just trying to close a deal and meet numbers; he cares about your future. He is incredibly patient. There was definitely a learning curve for me, but John understands that everyone learns differently. He took the time to rephrase complex concepts and provided examples to ensure I fully understood every step. He never made me feel "dumb" for asking questions; you can tell he genuinely cares through his tone and approach. John is also remarkably responsive. Whenever I found a listing with high potential and forwarded it to him late in the day, he would acknowledge and respond promptly. Even when I felt bad for reaching out late, he provided peace of mind by doing his homework immediately. We were often at the property the very next day. He acts fast and efficiently. Finally, he is solution-oriented. There were many times I thought a goal was out of reach, but he would do the research and return with a Plan A, B, and C. This gave me so much hope and reassurance throughout the process. The home search is a roller coaster of emotions, but John is there with you side-by-side from start to finish. You never feel alone, and you never feel doubt with John in your corner. "Looking back at where I started, I am forever grateful for John. He turned what felt like an impossible mountain to climb into a clear path forward. Through his hard work and dedication, I am a proud homeowner in a place I truly love, and I couldn't have done it without him." If you want more than just an agent--if you want an advocate--John is the one to call." Thank you for everything.

Review written by my wife Michelle who worked with Heidi to sell a trust property:…read more "We had the absolute pleasure of working with Heidi Bonham with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Oak Valley, to sell our trust property, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Heidi was exceptional. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the process, consistently finding ways to make what could have been a very stressful situation feel manageable and supported. Selling a trust property comes with its own unique challenges, and in our case, we were also navigating cash-for-keys agreements with multiple long-term tenants. Heidi handled this with professionalism, compassion, and incredible patience. One thing that really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about everyone involved. She even took the extra step of providing apartment rental listings to one of our tenants who had lived on the property for over 30 years. She did this entirely on her own time, without charging us or the tenants. Heidi was also very mindful and respectful of the sensitive family dynamics involved, especially considering some of the complexities with beneficiaries. She navigated everything with discretion, empathy, and a steady hand, which made a huge difference for us. She also came with an incredible network of resources and was always ready with trusted referrals for things like junk removal, gardening, and other property needs, which was immensely helpful. If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and truly invested in her clients, Heidi Bonham is the one you want. We are so grateful for her support and expertise throughout this entire process. Highly, highly recommend!".
