It is a best practice to research the timing as follows: 1) Personal Timing - Is it best for you to sell at a certain time due to job changes or other personal timing? Is it more convenient for you to move during a certain season, like when the weather is ideal? 2) Check with a local professional about what drives the sales season: schools being out for the summer, Average Days On Market in differenet seasons, Average number of offers in certain seasons, and also ask your local expert if the job market or other Local factors are impacting sales.

This is the second house we bought with Arpad's guidance. Just like the 1st house Arpad did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our 2nd house. His expertise in the market geographic area was instrumental in determining a competitive purchasing price. Arpad worked diligently with the seller to negotiate a fair price for the house. I had a lot of questions during the buying process and Arpad was friendly, responsive and always gave great advice. Arpad was always ready to bounce ideas and was very involved in all aspects of the closing.

I had a truly excellent experience working with Angeles. From our first meeting, she demonstrated professionalism, patience, and a genuine interest in understanding our needs. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and kept us informed every step of the way, which made the entire process much less stressful. Her deep knowledge of the local market and keen eye for detail helped us find the perfect property. She was also very proactive in suggesting options and negotiating on our behalf to get the best deal. Throughout the process, her friendliness and dedication made us feel valued and confident that we were in good hands. The best part of our experience is that she remains in contact with us after the closing of our new home. We're proud to say that she is not only our Agent, but also a friend we trust whenever we need advice or suggestions about our home. I highly recommend Angeles Lomeli to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and attentive real estate agent. - Santana

Mike Bloch is an exceptional Realtor, and in fact, made my wife and I feel like we were his only clients. His communication, attention to detail, and genuine care went above and beyond our expectations. It was important for us to list our condo at a realistic price and strike a balance between a quick sale and getting the most money we could for it. Because Mike lives and works in our neighborhood, he knows the local market extremely well, and guided us confidently through every step, from pricing, to marketing, to negotiating, to closing. He never let up on his marketing campaign until the sale was closed. We had two quick offers and were sold in a little over a month. We highly recommend Mike Bloch to anyone looking for a top notch, truly dedicated real estate professional.

We had an excellent experience working with Peter Boggs, who guided us through every step of our home search and purchase. From the very beginning, he took time to understand our goals during a detailed buyer consultation via video chat, helping us clarify what kind of property and neighborhood would best fit our needs. He toured us through multiple homes, resale and new build, across different cities, educating us on the nuances of each community, and even previewed listings live via video chat so we could see homes as soon as they became available if we were out of the area. When it came time to make an offer on a home in Seaside Highlands, he wrote a compelling and well-structured proposal that unfortunately lost out only because other buyers did not have a contingency and we still needed to list our current residence. Even after that, he kept searching proactively, uncovering new and aEURoecoming soonaEUR? properties before they officially hit the market. In addition to his local expertise, he connected us with a trusted loan officer who reviewed financing and bridge loan optionsaEUR"to try to mitigate our contingency issue, and he also referred us to an excellent real estate agent in San Jose who helped us sell our previous home so we could be better positioned when making an offer. When our path shifted toward a new build at The Dunes, he smoothly transitioned into that process, communicating with the sales agents for the builder, addressing our questions, and ensuring details were handled properly from contract to closing. He even provided vendor referrals to help us get settled after move-in. Peters professionalism, responsiveness, and thoughtful guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and well-supported. We are truly grateful for his diligence, communication, and care in helping us find our new home. We highly recommend him to others.

Ive used great realtors in the past, but Peter is next level great - more than competent, hes ultra reliable and knows exactly what hes doing. We needed him to handle everything, as we were selling the house from another state in what looked to be a very stressful process. I knew we were in great hands from the very first time I called Peter. He was in a grocery store, clearly juggling kids and a weak cell signal, but he was determined to take my call, follow up promptly, and devote all the time needed to answer my questions. Peter took care of literally ALL the thingsaEUR| He introduced me to the escrow officer even prior to signing the listing agreement, to make sure the paperwork was in place. He walked through the property and not only recommended how to prep it for listing, but he handled all details with his trusted contractor team, including specific repairs like fixing a mantelpiece, stretching out and deep cleaning the carpet instead of replacing it, epoxying the garage which I thought it didnt really need but WOW he was right, and doing a hundred other hardware and lighting upgrades and various details that made the place look brand new. He helped stage the house beautifully, sent photo and video updates throughout the whole listing prep process, and provided a highly detailed marketing package of everything you can think of - 3D, 2D, print marketing, social media, drone shots, to name a few. He handled the open houses and broker tour and gave me excellent advice - and then he helped negotiate great terms when weighing the offers that rolled in after only 13 days on the market. Working with Peter Boggs simplified everything, and I can easily say hes the best realtor in the Monterey Peninsula!

Her energy and enthusiasm seemed boundless and her flair for decorating was very helpful in enhancing the appearance of our house for the market. She was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of our sale and kept us well informed. She is the definition of a great realtor and she will work hard for you!

After interviewing several agents, I knew right away that Peter Boggs was different. He came prepared with fresh ideas, a next-level marketing strategy, and a dream team of vendors to handle every detail. I literally handed him the keys and let him do what he needed to do aEUR" and he took it from there with absolute precision and care. The results? Within 4 days of listing, Peter brought in an all-cash offer that was $100,000 over our original asking price, and we closed in just 10 days! All while three nearby homes sat on the market for months. His pricing strategy, marketing presentation, and negotiation skills were spot on. Peter is a rare find aEUR" professional, creative, strategic, and laser-focused on results. If you're selling a home on the Monterey Peninsula and want someone who will maximize your sale with zero stress, call Peter Boggs. He truly delivers.

Mario has now helped me with three separate transactions since 2021. First, he sold my first house during COVID and was able to get us an offer that exceeded our asking price due to his hard work, attention to detail, and excellent communication. He then helped sell my Grandmother's mobile home 3 years ago and, once again, got an offer over listing price. Mario was patient, empathetic, and kind with my grandma and ultimately got the sale done faster than expected. Finally, my wife and I just purchased a house sooner than we thought possible due to Mario and his fantastic team. I cannot recommend a realtor more than Mario Cruz.

I just sold my Pebble Beach home thanks to the unwavering partnership of Peter Boggs. Peter did an extraordinary job. He managed the home on my behalf for the past 3 years while I dealt with a complicated family Trust situation. Not only did Peter check on the house for 3 years without my prompting, but he also provided vendors and oversaw renovations while the home sat empty....all in anticipation of the home being for sale. I'm out of state, so having Peter on the front lines to prep the home, stage and market the home with videos and drone coverage, in addition to getting all of the inspections complete, is a service I never could have anticipated. Peter goes above and beyond expectations. He's a solid communicator, he hustles, he's a shrewd negotiator, and he gets stuff done. He knows the Carmel/Pebble Beach market better than anyone and brought in qualified buyers who were a perfect fit for the home. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better scenario, and Peter is the sole reason my home sold so quickly in this unpredictable climate. I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking to buy or sell in Carmel/Pebble Beach.

Peter was a breath of fresh air to work with. We had been monitoring the market, saving diligently, and were pre-qualified with a great lender. Initially, we chose a realtor whom we both knew, thinking that working with a friend or acquaintance would be beneficial. However, we quickly realized that familiarity does not guarantee the best representation. As we went through the process of making an offer on a house, we didnt feel adequately supported. We wanted someone who would advocate for our interests and have strong connections within the industry, particularly in the Monterey area. This time, we decided to do our research and looked up realtors on Zillow to identify those who were actively selling houses in the areas we were interested in. Peter Boggs consistently appeared as one of the top sellers. After interviewing several realtors to find the right fit, we contacted Peter. He promptly got back to us and sent a calendar link via text to schedule an appointment, which we found very organized. When we visited his office at Coldwell Banker in Pacific Grove, located downtown, we encountered a friendly and attentive staff. We had just exited a contract on a home that favored the sellers, and we picked up our deposit check. Therefore, our perception of realtors wasnt the best at the time. However, Peter came into the office like a breath of fresh air, calming our nerves. He made us feel at ease and addressed all our questions. We presented him with various scenarios, seeking his approach, and his ability to see things from different angles and devise a game plan aligned perfectly with what we needed. Peter reviewed the buyer consultation forms with us and explained them thoroughly, which our previous realtor had not done. He actively explored our wants and needs to gain a full understanding of not only what we were looking for in a home but also in a realtor. He had the energy we desired, and we decided to sign with him. He provided listings tailored to our preferences, and we also sent him properties we came across, to which he responded promptly. He gathered information from the seller's agent and met us at various homes, whether during the week or on weekends. Peter was a multi-tasker; while preparing homes for sale, he was also showing us and other clients houses to buy, consistently giving 100% effort. Peter checked in with us bi-weekly with inventory updates, and he created a specific list for us in the MLS where we could take notes, which he would respond to promptly regarding different properties. He showed us houses we were interested in, even if they were outside our typical criteria, helping us clarify what we wanted and didnt want. We discovered a house that had just listed on the MLS in an area we loved. We contacted Peter, and he immediately reached out to the selling agent, ensuring we were the first to see it. As we arrived at the house, several other potential buyers with their realtors had pulled up, given the desirable location. We explored the house and recognized its potential for us. Peter crafted a compelling offer with favorable terms, securing our accepted offer the same day. His swift response time and strong relationships with the seller's agent and our lender were critical in making this happen. We learned that relationships are key in this business. During negotiations, Peter was able to reduce the initial price and secure a large seller credit for our closing costs, which we were extremely pleased with. He utilized an electronic escrow timeline, ensuring that everyone stayed organized and on track throughout the escrow process. Even after closing, Peter continued to assist us, providing valuable resources and vendor recommendations. He was committed to supporting us well beyond the closing of escrow. Peter Boggs was undoubtedly our superhero realtor! Because the owners had altered the layout of the home, he arranged for a floor plan to be created for us through one of his many connections. When we closed escrow, we found that he had commissioned a local artist to paint a canvas of our house, which was incredibly special. We are everyday people who were treated like million-dollar clients, just as it should be. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, using Peter Boggs will ensure you are in excellent hands.

Buying a property is stressful and complicated even under the best circumstances so what you really need is an agent like Hilary. She is the calm center of the chaotic real estate universe with an amazing breadth of knowledge across the industry. Her decades of experience really stood out while dealing with a very inexperienced agent during our home sale. She quickly identified how the other agent had overlooked some major things, made mistakes on others and gently corrected the issues without compromising the negotiations. Zero ego, just making sure we (her clients) were in the know about what was going on, that we were taken care of and any loopholes were addressed. She can answer any question, handle any situation AND put you at ease, maintaining a level of chill no matter the situation. She's got this! She has a great network of people that are also stellar at their respective positions (loans, inspectors, repairs, you name it) that she has build great relationships with during her career that also make the process smooth and understandable. During our purchase, her team was absolutely stellar. The average person doesn't buy or sell property often so we don't know all there is to know... but Hilary does and she'll make sure it's done right.

She expertly negotiated on our behalf and generously shared her network of trusted contacts for inspections, repairs, financing, and more. It made the entire experience smooth and much less overwhelming. We were referred to her by friends who had a great experience, and now we can confidently say the same. We are very, very happy to have had her as our realtor and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

Darla did an outstanding job on every level. I am an SF Bay Area resident who had to sell a property in the mountains that belonged to my family. With a full-time job in the Bay Area and many other responsibilities, getting up to the mountains to address the cleaning, yard work, repairs and replacements to systems, and all of the other things that needed to be done to prepare the property for sale was incredibly difficult if not impossible. I've never experienced a realtor who took such tremendous care, communicated so effectively and efficiently, and seemed to know every expert to take care of work in a timeframe and cost that was reasonable and rational. Darla delivered a buyer who paid full list price and negotiated the contract fairly at time of sale. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Personally and professionally, she brings her best to every day, every conversation, and every transaction. Being in the Bay Area, I especially valued her highly effective, efficient, friendly communication about all the details related to prepping the home for market. She was a sounding board as well as a problem solver - hard to find! I recommend her 1000% to anyone.

Angeles is fantastic. She is fiercely on your side, while offering pragmatic advice. I found myself far less confused through the buying process than I expected, Angeles always had detailed and thorough answers. She's also excellent at reading her clients, and understanding they they are looking for. After only a few houses, she knew what I was looking for and focused on that. She was supportive and instrumental in getting me into my home. Thank you Angeles :)

I am beyond grateful to have worked with Matt! After five long months with another agent, I was feeling frustrated and discouraged. Then he stepped in and completely turned things around. From day one, Matt was professional, proactive, and truly committed to getting my home sold. Within just two weeks, my house was under contract! He knew exactly how to market the property, brought in serious buyers, and communicated with me every step of the way. The difference in energy, strategy, and results was night and day. I cant recommend Matt enoughaEUR"absolutely amazing!

Working with Peter was such a joy! I was a first-time home buyer, so I had no idea what to expect but he was so patient and walked me through the process. He also really looked out for me and best suited me and my budget. This process is scary and intimidating but Peter made me feel at ease throughout the process. He kept me updated with biweekly check ins. Things were going very well, and I found a place quickly and we placed an offer, and it got accepted! It was exciting until we had the inspection done, there was major foundation damage and Peter was great at advising me to back out of the deal. After that offer I had to wait a few months because the market was dry, but Peter kept checking on me making sure I did not get discouraged. I then made a pivot in what I was looking for and he was supportive and quickly gave me options. We had a showing just two days after I let him know what I was looking for. He negotiated to get the initial offer price lowered, a seller credit for my closing costs and the seller to pay for home warranty! One of my favorite things about working with him is that he is knowledgeable and gave me so much great advice but ultimately let me make the decision. His focus was always on making sure I made the decision that felt right for me once I had all the information. I had such a small budget to work with, and I thought who would want to take me on, but I am so grateful Peter accepted to work with me. I cannot recommend him enough and look forward to working with him in the future.

Dipen is always great to work with. He makes most of the process fairly simple. He helped us buy our first home, helped us sell it a few years later, and helped buy another one. Process is super simple with him, always looking out for us and our best interest. Will be calling him on the next real-estate adventure too!

We really enjoyed working with Mike and his team. Mike was very responsive to all of my calls and emails and took care of all of the details quickly and efficiently. He was very approachable and talked me through every aspect of the process. We were selling from afar, so we couldnt do any of the hands-on things that needed to be done before we sold. Mike had people who took care of everything for us. They also helped us make design decisions and upgrades which led us to selling our house for far above asking price. My family was blown away at how good the house looked based on what Mike and his team recommended. Mike went above and beyond and truly was full service. I couldnt recommend him enough!

We cannot recommend Hilary highly enough! From the very beginning of our home-buying journey, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping us find the perfect home. Hilary was always responsive, incredibly patient, and went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. What truly set Hilary apart was her attention to detail and her ability to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. She listened carefully to what we were looking for, offered insightful advice, and was a fierce advocate for us throughout negotiations. We always felt like we were her top priority. Thanks to Hilary, we found a home that we absolutely love. Her guidance and support made all the difference, and were so grateful to have had her by our side.

His persistence and organization made the whole process much easier for us.

Peter represented us almost six years ago when we sold our home in Del Rey Oaks. His work ethic and attention to detail are exceptional. So when we Unexpectedly needed a realtor again we reached out to him. We no longer live in California and Peter jumped right in to help us. He got things moving fast and took care of everything start to finish, keeping us informed every step of the way. We knew we didnt have to worry about a thing. Just as he did before Peter went above and beyond to take care of and represent us. If you are looking for a realtor Peter Boggs does not disappoint!

We have known Matt since 2022, when we purchased our first home with his help. As first time home buyers we didnt have much knowledge on the subject so we put our trust in Matt and he guided us very patiently through an almost 6 month search. When we finally found the right fit for us (a humble home under 300k) he gave us the same treatment he would give his clients who buy million dollar homes. Matt is very personable and makes you feel comfortable and taken care of all along the way. We enjoyed our first experience with him so much that when we were ready to buy our second property we didnt hesitate to call him to join the adventure. We found our home very quickly this time around leaving us bummed to not get to spend more time with our buddy Matt. We are sure that IF we choose to do this again we would without a doubt reach out to Matt again.

Caroline Fuller's deep knowledge of my neighborhood and the real estate market was evident from the start, and she provided expert advice that helped position my home for a successful sale. She is an energetic, creative problem solver who tackled every challenge with determination and a positive attitude. What truly set Caroline apart was her hands-on approach. She went way above and beyond my expectations to make my house as presentable as possible. I was reluctant to pay for staging, so Caroline purchased some inexpensive decorations herself and even loaned me many of her own. She also offered her staff and pickup truck for dump runs and even enlisted her brother to help me move heavy furniture. The house was truly transformed, and I am convinced that this effort made all the difference. Carolines hard work, tenacity, and commitment to her clients are unmatched. She doesnt just list a home; she actively works to make it shine. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and results-driven realtor.

Hilary is a fabulous realtor. She is very knowledgable about the Sacramento market and made sure we understood what we were doing every step along the way. Hilary was also glad to answer our many questions. She was a great negotiator and represented us well when talking with the buyers' and their realtor. We've already referred her to several of our family members and friends. You'd be hard pressed to find a more effective or nicer realtor with whom to work.
