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?

Jerry was a great help to us. He went above and beyond to help us find our new home. He is very knowledgeable about the area and a help with any questions that may arise. He had so much helpful advise and walked us through the entire process of purchasing a home. We truly enjoyed traveling the area and looking at homes with he and Michelle. We would highly recommend him for anyone buying or selling a home in the area.

John was an amazing ally to have in the process. I had a complicated situation that he helped me to navigate with ease. I really believe that it wouldnt have gone as well if I had worked with anyone else. I'm grateful for his expertise in this area.

Sheila worked hard with my husband and I to make our dream of owning a home come true. She was professional, reliable and available when we needed her to be . She had outstanding communication and kept us updated throughout the whole process and remained very positive. She was familiar with the local areas and gave us a lot of advice. She was very personable from the moment we met her and it opened up the door to her helping us sell our property and purchase our forever home. I would recommend Sheila to anyone and everyone. She offered genuine care and support and I couldnt have asked for a better realtor.

We have purchased two properties with Nina and both experiences have been very smooth. She takes her profession seriously and makes being available for her clients a priority.
