About John Friend

Friends Real Estate Services is an established Sonora based Real State Company. We are a fully Licensed independent Brokerage serving the Gold Country in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and portions of the San Joaquin Valley. Broker and Founder John Friend brings 26 years of Real Estate experience to the table. During his many years appraising properties in the foothills and the valley, he appraised well over 10,000 homes in five Counties. He knows all of Tuolumne, Calaveras and Amador Counties extensively, as well as San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. This knowledge of the market in multiple Counties allows John to suggest other similar foothill areas that are similar to where the clients started that have better pricing and/or inventory, and allows him to suggest areas that fit his clients best needs and interests. "As a Broker who has been in the Industry for 26 years, I am very familiar with the local markets in the Counties we serve, and their many quirks. I love helping people find the property that suits them best, and there is nothing more rewarding to me than a satisfied customer." Selling your house or property? Looking to buy?

Rikki was the perfect realtor for us as she was always responsive when we targeted specific homes via Zillow over the last year as we had pretty specific requirements. She made sure we could fit in multiple viewings in a single day which was extremely helpful since we are not from the immediate area. Her knowledge of the area was extremely beneficial since she is a lifetime resident of the area. Rikki explained all the processes for buying and answered all of our questions easily and promptly. Rikki had great suggestions when asked for opinions. If she didnt immediately know answers she always got back to us. She knows local trades people for needed improvements. Definitely would recommend and utilize Rikki again.

We used Rikki when purchasing a home in Murphys, and we thought she was great. She was very prompt and clear with all communication, and she was friendly and helpful on the two occasions we toured the house. She noted and explained several features, like kitchen amenities, that we didn't notice at first. When we were unable to make the walkthrough before closing, Rikki did it for us and reported back to us. She helped us get a purchase price we were very happy with. At the end, she gave multiple options to get us the keys. Basically, she was with us every step of the way. We highly recommend her.

John was the perfect realtor for me. His knowledge of the area and commitment to providing quality service made the process of selling my four (4) properties remarkably "doable", even long distance! Without hesitation, I highly recommend John---he's the BEST!

Barbara and her team did an excellent job making sure that I knew what the process was going to be and which step we were in the entire time. She was available for showings and had great communication.

As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous, overwhelmed, and full of questions, thousands of them. From the very beginning, Stacy was beyond motivating and reassuring. Whenever I felt discouraged or doubted that Id ever find the right place, she lifted me up and kept me focused. She never once made me feel like my questions were too small or silly, she took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently. The minute I needed her, she was there, always responsive, supportive, and ready to help. Thanks to her dedication and encouragement, what once felt impossible became a reality. I couldnt have asked for a better guide through this process. I'm so grateful to have had her by my side and would recommend her to anyone looking for not just a realtor, but a true partner in the journey
