Ernest is a great salesperson. He knows the area and the market. We used his full service plan including a few home improvements. The work was mediocre. Not to my standards for living in the home. Selling our home went smoothly, however purchasing our new home was handled terribly. Ernest waited until the last minute (7 days) to schedule us for looking for a home and closing. Errors were made in scheduling the same workers to move us. The movers damaged the walls along with ruining our sofa and other items. At no point has Ernest taken responsibility for pushing us to the last minute and dropping the ball despite being told. If you are reliant on selling your home to purchase another, I would not recommend using Ernest Berghof. His laid back style left us in a lurch.

The journey seems short when you are accompanied by the right people. Ernest Berghof was recommended to us by a friend, a former realtor himself. We could not have chosen a better teammate to join us in our search for the perfect new home for our daughter. Ernest had assessed exactly what we were searching for within two preview sessions. While not wasting his and our time visiting homes he knew were not a good fit, he took extra time and made every effort to research and know the property and selling realtor of our dream property in order to make the best offer possible to secure our sale. Ernest is experienced and knowledgeable of the area, giving him the ability to guide you to the location perfect for you. He is resourceful and personable, giving him the ability to close the deal at the best price and conditions for you. Ernest is dedicated to his profession, determined to be the very best for his customers. We came to see him as a friend vs. a business partner and look forward to continuing that relationship. Thank you, Ernest, for an enjoyable journey.

Peter was a great help to us. We met him at an open house he as conducting. That house wasnt for us. But in talking with us, he figured out the ideal neighborhood for our needs. A house came up and he as right on it. It was a tricky sale. There were 9 offers. He gave us great advice and we got it! After that he helped us through the process and stayed with us all the way through. And was also there for us after all was done with other issues.

Sarah did an amazing job helping us sell our Healdsburg home. She and her team took care of every detail from staging to marketing. She kept us informed throughout the process with weekly calls and reports of online activity. She is warm and personable, always willing to go the extra mile. We really appreciate all she has done for us and would highly recommend her when buying or selling your next home.
