"We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for your exceptional guidance in helping us purchase our dream home. Your attention to detail, vision and unwavering positivity made all the difference during our long journey. Your knowledge and advice on how to think about the listings that we look at as well as your insightful recommendations once we found “the one” made a huge difference. Thank you for all of your hard work and the time you spent with us on this adventure and for going above and beyond. You truly made this process smoother and more enjoyable than we could have imagined. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as our agent and our first friend in Sonoma."

"Engaging with Jeff as our agent was the best decision we made. His perspective on the homes we were looking at was a breath of fresh air. He independently researched items on the inspection reports I would have not thought to look at, called vendors and helped us best understand the home we were bidding on. Through the entire process Jeff kid gloved all the issues that can arise with the sellers, and ensured a smooth transaction. He is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and personable when working with all parties. Our transaction was a success and Jeff definitely was a part of it."

★★★★★
"Jeff was punctual, professional, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to work with. He's extremely knowledgeable regarding the properties and trends in the area and was very helpful even when we changed our minds and went a completely different direction from what we were originally looking at. He took the time to talk to us on several occasions to understand what we really wanted, and helped us think about the kind of offers we were willing to make. Jeff (and his team) was very responsive to questions and with the many documents and tasks that needed to be done. We felt we got a great deal, and were able to close early. And to top it all off there was the sweetest gift basket in our new home once we got the keys. Would highly recommend. Thank you!"

★★★★★
"Jeff took the time to understand our needs as we searched for our first home in such a competitive housing market. His expert knowledge of the Sonoma County area was highly effective in finding us a home we love. He went above and beyond in his search by previewing houses he felt would be to our liking, as our search was semi-remote (San Francisco and New York). His tenacity ultimately paid off and now we are the proud owners of a home in beautiful Sonoma."

★★★★★
"We can't recommend Jeff enough. From search to offer and all the way through closing and even beyond, Jeff was responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. He was careful to understand what it was that we were looking for in a house and property and after he understood it, even offered ideas that helped us sharpen our criteria further. He has deep knowledge of the local market, and his expertise and advice were incredibly helpful throughout our decision-making process. Jeff’s knowledge, professionalism, thoughtfulness, and vision made all the difference during this journey and he expertly navigated both the offer and closing processes seamlessly. We couldn't have found our dream home without him. Thank you, Jeff, for your time and support through this process!"
