Arron did an outstanding job as our agent and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Arron was on top of all aspects of helping us get our house sold. He gave us excellent guidance on setting the selling price. He facilitated getting the property in good order so it would show well. This included recommending painters, plumbers, and gardeners as well as a someone to stage the property. We got multiple offers within a few days of the property being offered. Arron then worked with escrow and the buyer to get this transaction closed on time.

Great purchase experience!

After a positive experience selling our home with Aaron, we reached out to him again when we began looking to buy. This was our first time purchasing a home with Aaron and he was equally helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and easy to work with throughout this process. Aaron goes above and beyond to make sure things go smoothly and had some great local connections to help us get all the inspections complete. We especially appreciated Aaron's flexibility in being willing to meet with us and take our calls in the evenings - he is a reliable, thoughtful, and thorough realtor!

Great experience; best decision!

We are so grateful for Aaron's expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail in helping us deal with our mother's estate. We felt like he really connected with us, and with our family's home; he had great ideas for prepping and marketing the house, and went above and beyond to make sure all the little details were handled. He was always available to answer questions and help out – especially appreciated because we were trying to deal with all this from out of state. It really couldn't have gone any smoother; we highly recommend him and his staff!

Unbeatable Service!

Aaron was referred to us by a local friend. From the first meeting we knew we were in good hands, especially because we were selling our home from several hours away. He handled everything professionally and was very good about checking in and giving updates from the listing through closing day. Not only is an excellent Realtor, we loved how as we got to know him we found he is actively involved in his community, always working to make Chico a better place to live and call home.

Positive Experience with a thoughtful and thorough Agent

Aaron was the 3rd Real Estate Agent we've worked with over the past 10 years and definitely our favorite! We really appreciated the time he took to meet with us before even listing our property. It was a bit of a tricky sale (the home was tenant occupied at the time of sale) but Aaron went above and beyond to make sure that the occupants felt informed and supported while the house was listed and was in frequent contact with us as well. Aaron has a great understanding of the market and was willing to walk us through different options and ideas - he has a great sense of humor and can remain calm during moments of stress (which tend to be inevitable at some point in a sale). We would absolutely recommend him!

Aaron is your man

Aaron is friendly, professional and easy to talk to. We had a good experience working with him as first time home buyers. He was quick at answering any questions we had, and also getting the paperwork and the deal done. He had great recommendations for us when we had to inspect the house in further detail. We recommend Aaron to anyone that wants an agent that is kind, approachable while also being knowledgeable.
