This transaction was hard since it was a court-ordered sale. It was a different one to put it nicely. Dante was professional, informative, and knowledge based. This was a 5 month escrow due to the court sale. He re-assured us the whole way. I will continue to refer and use him moving forward for any sell or purchase of a home. I trust that he has his clients best interest.

James truly has his ear tuned to what is happening in the real estate market--both on the local scene as well as with statewide trends. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy, and a pleasure to be around. He immediately put us at ease and took the stress and mystery out of the transaction by walking us through every step of the way. And besides all that, he went over and above to make our journey a success. Thank you James!! And thank you RE/MAX Pines by the Sea!!

James did a great job. He kept us informed every step of the way. We found him to be honest and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend James to represent you in your next real estate transaction.

Every time my husband and I took a trip to Cambria, we would stop by a realtor office on Main Street, trying to get more information on the properties that were currently on the market, but nothing was a good fit. Truth be told we were referred to REMax – Pines by the Sea but we were not acquainted with Jose Luis. We walked-in to the office, unannounced, and Jose Luis introduced himself. He took the time to listen to us, answered all our questions, and provided us with additional/relevant information. I remember leaving the office and turning to my husband and saying, “I like him…I trust him”. We truly believe things happen for a reason, the original realtor we were going to work with unfortunately (fortunately) was not able to work with us and thankfully Jose Luis was available. It has been such a blessing to work with him, he seemed more than a realtor to us. He was patient which was critical since we were from out of town and our schedule often meant “short-notice”. He made himself available by phone/text/email in a very timely manner. He regularly went above and beyond the “call” whether it was detailed videos of properties or in-depth market research. The real estate market in Cambria, is not for the faint-of-heart and Jose Luis stuck with us and never wavered. With his help and guidance, we were able to find our dream home, and the rest is history! Lastly, even after the close of escrow Jose Luis has been available to us. To those of you looking for a dedicated, subject matter expert, Jose Luis is your realtor. Thank you, Jose Luis! Ray & Angelina Linares

Gayle represented us as buyers on a listing where she represented the Seller as well. She could not have been more fair-handed, efficient, and responsive. Everything went as smoothly as it possibly could have and Gayle followed up on every detail for us, including having the house professionally cleaned before we took possession! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Gayle Jenkins
Gayle's knowledge, experience and hard work really helped us find the house we were hoping to find in a challenging market. She is truly a pleasure to work with and made our house hunting experience a great one!! We all recommend her highly and anyone would be lucky to get work with Gayle!

Jose Luis did an excellent job guiding us through our home purchase. His professional skill and competence truly smoothed the way for us and helped make our dream a reality. Highly recommended!
Jose Luis Sanchez
I could say he's an incredibly knowledgable, insightful agent, which is true. I could say that he's a diligent, thoughtful professional, which is also true. I could say that when you work with Jose Luis, you truly have an advocate and an ally in your desire to find the "right" property. Also true. But what is additionally true is that, when you have Jose Luis on your team, he gives you the greatest gift of all: the assurance and peace of mind that you are in good hands and not just a number or one of what must be many other clients, given his great expertise and ability. He stays the course and remains by your side, even after the transaction has been finalized. His ethics are beyond question and his commitment to his clients is absolute. If we weren't so happy in the home he miraculously made a reality, we would look forward with pleasure to buying the next one with his representation. Thank you, Jose Luis, for not only your superlative service but also your friendship. You're a gem!

Dedication and persistence is the only reason why we are now in our dream home. Had James Barton not been tracking available properties incessantly, we certainly would have lost the opportunity to buy the aforementioned home. While he can be lauded for his efforts, it is his professionalism that helps buyers from beginning to end.
James Barton
James is one of the most professional real estate agents I have done business with. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful in his interactions with me. He kept every detail of the sales process managed and on track. He even went out of his way to assist as I was living out of town. I was so happy with the home I purchased in Cambria and the smooth and easy process that James led and closed right on time. I would highly recommend him.

Dante's professionalism, kindness, and expertise was evident in every one of our exchanges. As market conditions changed, and folks called in to ask about the property and its conditions, Dante was patient in working with interested parties and answering my questions about the process. He advocated on my behalf and encouraged me to get the most out of negotiations. If you are in need of a real estate agent, look no further!

James was knowledgeable and tenacious - he isn't pretentious and he is extremely diligent. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
