Ashlea Boyer simply is the best real estate professional imaginable; I recommend her enthusiastically and without reservations. Her comprehensive knowledge of Central Coast California properties, her boundless energy, and her sincere commitment to her client's best interests combined to make her an exemplary partner for my wife and me in every step of the home buying process.

We worked with Ashlea from out-of-state (and, for a time, from overseas) over a period of almost four years to find just the right home for us. To say that Ashlea is patient is an understatement! From the start, she focused carefully on our prerequisites and used her website, email, telephone (805-709-0711) and fax (805-773-7788) to keep us abreast of the housing market. When we visited the area, she showed us houses that she had selected specifically with us in mind. She walked us through dozens of properties and discussed the pros and cons in terms of our priorities; she never pushed and tried to sell us a house.

When we chose the home that we wanted to buy, Ashlea handled every aspect of the escrow in the adroit and practiced fashion we'd come to know and appreciate. She negotiated expertly with the sellers' agent, and knew when to employ her good humor and first-rate people skills to keep the deal on track. Even after the final papers were signed, Ashlea continued to advise us on all sorts of homeowner-related matters, such as referring us to trustworthy plumbers, landscapers and electricians.

I said that Ashlea is the best real estate professional imaginable, and she is. Fortunately, we didn't have to imagine what it would be like to work with her, we did it for real.
