There are a number of solid and competent realtors that can help you navigate the paperwork needed to either close a sale or negotiate a purchase of a home. The number of exceptional realtors who can develop a effective markeketing plan based on research, investment and strength of intellect and character are few and hard to find. Patrick and Ruby Raymond are those exceptional realtors. In addition, the other members of their team were each exceptional and epitomize professionalism. When Patrick first approached me, he stated a price than our home would generate that exceeded what I thought the market would bear. Then he proceeded to explain how this sale price could happen. First, he knew our neighborhood and its strength and weaknesses regarding its saleability. Next, he revealed the investments he had made to obtain a data base of pre-qualified buyers from throughout our state and around the country. Finally, Patrick and Ruby provided an in depth strategy on how to stage our home, establish timelines, and present tools they would use to sell the home. Some of their strategies were known but not always followed by other realtors, and additional strategies were proprietary to the Raymond team. The result was that we received three offers each either meeting of exceeding what Patrick and Ruby first told us our home could sell for. Throughout the process they both remained calm and focused even when little hickups occurred. It was a learning experience for us when we had questions about staging the home I found out later from the buyers how much Rubys strategies influenced their purchasing decision. Needless to say it is without any reservations that we would recommend the Raymond team whether you are purchasing or selling a home. P.S. They even gave us great input on strategies on how to buy our current home in a very competitive market.

Ruby and the EXP Team were great; we had a great experience, Ruby was personable, professional and knowledgeable and the EXP Team made sure we had the documents we needed when we needed them. We're sitting in our new home writing this right now. Thanks Ruby, SM

Weve been buying and selling real estate for many years and have been fortunate to deal with many great real estate agents. Mikey, however, is by far the best weve ever worked with. We live out of the country and are absentee owners of a central coast property. Our manager allowed it to fall into disrepair and then ceased all communication with us. Mikey stepped up, helped relocate our tenants and oversaw all the necessary repairs and updates from the top of the roof to the vents below the floor and everything in between. Mikey kept in constant communication with us and helped guide the many decisions and choices that popped up during the whole process. The whole experience could easily have been very stressful because we are so far away, and our property manager completely abandoned us, but Mikey arranged for all the subcontractors and inspections, monitored the budget, and miraculously got our house back on the market and sold for a great price within a few short weeks. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Ruby was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she really cared about us, understood our needs. Ruby was always available to answer our questions. Ruby really is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She scheduled the inspection and pest company, made it so easy to get everything done. She was honest and forthright- no games. Would use her again tomorrow if we were to buy or sell in the area.
