Kandie Frederick has consistently proven she is unshaken by complicated transactions. She has solutions to every problem that arises, some that have no simple answer. When my buyer fell out of escrow not once, but twice, Kandie Frederick had a back up offer cued up and negotiated it perfectly. She does not miss the details. She communicates excellently via your preferred method of contact and keeps her professionalism at all time. Incredible work ethic too.
We worked with Austin Haller on the sale of our home, and we would absolutely recommend him to others interested in both buying and/or selling a home. He was informative, extremely responsive and communicative, and he was very patient with our multitude of questions. He took the time to guide us through this process, but also let us take the lead and did not place pressure on us in our decisions. Austin took the time to educate us about the many different layers of home buying and selling, and he even made solid recommendations to ensure we got the best options available. He was extremely professional and trustworthy, and we truly felt that we were in great hands every step of the way. The process of buying and selling a home can be extremely stressful and exhausting, but it was a huge comfort to have Austin's help and guidance along the way.
We had a great experience working with Austin Haller from start to finish. Selling a home can be stressful, but Austin made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and under control the whole way through. Communication was one of his biggest strengths. He kept us informed at every step, was always quick to respond to questions, and made sure we understood what was happening and what to expect next. That alone made a huge difference. His knowledge of the local market was clear right away. He helped us price the home appropriately and guided us through the strategy, which ultimately led to a successful purchase at 171 Bridgegate Lane. We felt confident in his recommendations and never felt pressured just well advised. Austin also did a great job handling the details behind the scenes. From coordinating showings to navigating negotiations, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. When anything came up, he addressed it quickly and kept things moving forward without unnecessary delays. Overall, Austin stood out for his professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to make what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.
Working with RateMyAgent and our agent was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her communication was exceptional throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at every stage, explained things clearly, and always made sure we understood what was happening next. No question ever felt too small, and she was consistently patient, professional, and helpful. What truly set her apart was her responsiveness and organization. Calls, texts, and emails were answered promptly, often faster than expected, which gave us great confidence and peace of mind. Every detail was handled efficiently, timelines were well managed, and nothing was ever overlooked. Even with our short 21-day close from start to finish, she kept everything moving smoothly and on schedule. She made what can often be a stressful process feel streamlined and well controlled. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is proactive, reliable, and genuinely committed to delivering excellent service.
Betty is awesome. She helped us purchase and eventually sell our vacation home at Lake Naci. We couldnt have asked for a better more informed person to trust with the process. She is very knowledgable about the local HOA regulations within Herritage Ranch.
Betty helped us find this lake house, and years later, she helped us say goodbye to it. That kind of full-circle trust isn't something you find everywhere. From the very first showing to the final closing, she was present, professional, and genuinely cared about more than just the transaction. The memories we made in that house will last a lifetime — and so will our gratitude for the person who helped us find it. If you want an agent who shows up for the whole journey, Betty is your person.
Very helpful all my questions
Pretty good with everything
Jess Burns did an amazing job of helping us secure this new home. She worked very well with the selling agent and team to advocate for us as the potential buyers. She is an amazing communicator and made the entire process very low stress.
We are first time home buyers. We've been on the road chasing travel assignments for the past 4 years. Living out of our 5th wheel with the eventual dream of settling in the central coast. Jess made that happen. I initially called her about a listing where she was representing the seller, and we ended up chatting about real estate in the area for 45 min. That was not the house for us, but she was eager to help us find the right fit. Jess was super patient and nothing but helpful as we wrapped our heads around it. She generously gave us many hours of her time going over process and helping us hone our search criteria. It was definitely a bumpy road. It's a hard market if you can't pay cash around here, and people are not always upfront about the gnarly stuff with their property. Thankfully, Jess was always looking out for us, helping us avoid those big scary situations. She was always transparent with anything we wanted or needed to know while shielding us from the parts of the process which, in the moment, would just add stress. She also has a big network of local professionals on call. This comes in handy if you are trying for a short escrow. I don't think it is something every agent could pull off. We closed in 2 weeks with a conventional loan and inspections. You have to be exceptionally organized, stay vigilantly on top of things, and have a trusted network of pros willing to fit you in last minute. Short escrow is just one of many tricks Jess has up her sleeve. She says she likes to get "creative" to get the deal done (obviously well within confines of the law). Every property we looked at, she would have a new strategy to meet that particular situation. It is the kind of thing you only get from a wise and seasoned realtor. She's also fun as hell and an all around joyful person. Not only is she our realtor, but we now consider her a good friend. Thanks to Jess for all her many hours fighting for us.
