Sara is responsive, personable, and most importantly honest. A realtor that is not in it for just the commission. Follow thru after the sale and service beyond the sale sets her apart from all others.

I recommend Nicole without hesitation. Every person I have referred to her has come back to me saying that she’s the best they’ve worked with. Nicole knows the business so she’s able to anticipate to help stay ahead of deadlines, and her communication throughout the process makes you feel at ease. Her industry experience and her local knowledge are just a few of the attributes that make her the best agent out there.

I am happy to write a review for Nicole Ushakoff as she is an extremely knowledgable, helpful and thorough real estate agent. During the entire time we worked with her, she provided unwaivering support for me and my family as we went through the difficult process of selling my father's house, as well as the purchase of my own home. She answered all of our millions of questions with competence, transparency, and patience. Aside from obvious expertise within her field, she is simply a good human. She continues to check in on us and we thank her for helping us get our dream home! We couldn't have done it without her and will be working within her in future.

As a first time home buyer, the housing market and process in general seemed so convoluted. Adam is knowledgeable on every aspect of the process and was extremely responsive and insightful throughout. I once read that the agent-buyer relationship has to feel like a friend, and that is what you get with Adam. I can confidently say I would chose Adam all over again. Thanks Adam for the help, motivation through the dips of the process and overall help with the process beginning to end. I couldn't have done it without you!

As first time home buyers, my husband and I could not have gotten any luckier to have gotten to work with Kristen. She was extremely knowledgeable with the market and area we were looking to buy in and she was always sweet and friendly while simultaneously being present and professional. Our entire experience from beginning to end was so pleasant. She helped us find our dream home! Can't recommend her enough!

Nicole and her team are excellent at getting the job done! Her knowledge and skills have been a HUGE plus in our real estate business. Her marketing strategies are amazing not to mention the foot traffic at open house! I know I'm in great hands of a professional. Whether buying or selling you can count on recieving top notch service every time.

Absolutely amazing! Extremely helpful! Nicole was a pure blessing to have her help me through my first home purchase during a volatile time. I was basically clueless and she continuously explained important steps and always made me feel comfortable. She provided her expert opinions, never forced anything, and steered me toward a home I feel great about! I'll be looking her up when I'm ready to sell. Thanks again, Nicole!

Nicole was absolutely awesome! She helped us immensely in purchasing a house from overseas in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was amazing. She fought hard for our interests and was incredibly responsive no matter what time we asked. Thanks so much Nicole!!!!!

I would recommend Nicole to anyone that values integrity and fiduciary responsibility in their agents. She went above and beyond in her ability to find my family a home that was perfect for our needs. My family is forever grateful for her attention to detail and strong ability to negotiate the best deal for us. As a former real estate broker employee, I can assure you this is a rare attribute that should be highly sought after. In this day and age, she is more than an agent, she is a life saver.

Nicole understood the issues from the onset and still took on the challenge. Every bump along the journey was never a setback for her. She never gave up on me getting the house.

Kristen went above and beyond throughout the home buying process. I was a first time homebuyer and due to Covid I could not travel to Monterey. She helped me find a house and took care of everything including arranging inspections and contractor work, while I was 400 miles away. I felt very at ease throughout. I have since referred her to another homebuyer and will continue to do so.

I bought my home through Nicole when she was the listing agent years ago . She did such an amazing job back then …so I knew right away when it was time to list my home I would pick her as the listing agent again so that I could buy another home as smooth as I went into this one. The transaction was smooth like butter even though we were in the middle of the Corona Virus Pandemic and a shut down. She was able to sell my home safely for over asking price in only a few days! Her experience and expertise is an asset to anyone that needs to get their home selling and purchasing done.

Nicole is fabulous! She is really helpful, organized, knowledgable, and super efficient. She puts her clients first. She was patient with us when we needed time to make decisions or when we changed our minds. She was ALWAYS available to answer our questions and advocated for us when we needed it. We are very grateful and give her our highest recommendation!

We loved working with Nicole. She found a new listing for us, coordinated a visit for us with her team leader while she was out of town, and worked through all of the details of our offer and escrow. We were on a tight time frame and she made sure to help us complete all of the steps of our escrow. When fire insurance became difficult to secure, she reached out to her resources and we secured fire insurance through this agency. Nicole is a nice person and you will enjoy working closely with her to buy or sell your home.

Nicole is very knowledgeable in her field and she sent me listings in the exact area I wanted to buy in and in the price range I wanted to stay in. She always responds in a timely and respectful manner. She is incredibly easy to deal with. She made our purchase smooth and I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely be contacting her in the future.

Nicole was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local area and responded promptly to our concerns and questions. She is enthusiastic, friendly and very attentive. We would use her again without hesitation and recommend her to others.

She was absolutely fantastic!! Her knowledge of the area and how the homes sell was amazing. I was selling our family home after my mom passed and dealing with difficult beneficiaries as well. She was kind, honest and compassionate helping me deal with them and the house. She had great ideas for what I could do so the house would sell for top dollar and it did!! She had connections with amazing handyman, painter, carpet cleaner, stagers, etc. It truly was an amazing experience and we ended up selling for $100,000 over asking price! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!!

Absolutely excellent-professional, timely, organized and experienced. He covers every detail!. I appreciate his punctuality, careful manner and thoughtfulness. He gets great results and has an amazing team to back him up.

Great personalized care. Best communication we have had with any professional. Responsive to questions and needs. She did a great job of showing homes and helping up with every process involved in buying our new home. Backed by a great team which guided us through the whole process. We would use her again and recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

It was good to have Nicole in our corner. She pointed out a lot of good prospects for us and provided helpful insight on the local market. Also had an extensive network to draw from. Highly recommend.

Adam was such a patient, willing and kind realtor. We worked with Adam for over two years looking for the perfect house. He always accommodated our last minute demands to see different properties we were interested in. Adam is truly a professional, who provides red carpet service to all of his clients. Adam has become a great friend of us through this home search process. Love Adam Bomarito and his great supportive team at KW!!!

Kimberly is a GEM. I have lived all over the world and am so grateful to have her as my agent. She sold my home in Maple Park in record time and guided me from start to finish staging the house beautifully. If you are wanting to choose an agent that is on top of it all, choose Kimberly. I give her my highest recommendation.

I have use Laura on several transactions both buying and selling. After the first experience I knew I would use her again. Absolutely happy I have and will continue too do so.

Nicole was so responsive to our requests. She was able to arrange showings as quickly as possible. During a challenging close process she was supportive and helpful.

Nicole worked with us to find exactly the right home in the Monterey Bay area. She knows the area well and she helped us craft the right offer to get the home we wanted. I can highly recommend her helpful services!

Laura assisted my husband and I in securing our dream home in Carmel Valley, CA. As first time ‘anxious’ buyers she made us feel at ease every step of the way. Laura worked diligently with the sellers that were in India, this took vigorous continuous communication and work at all hours. We are so thankful to have had Laura as our realtor

After a year of touring various properties in the Valley and Carmel with Laura, my husband and I purchased our home in Carmel Valley in September of 2019. Laura was attentive to our needs (and wish list), and found a property that was perfect for us. Not only is she knowledgeable regarding the various neighborhoods and towns on the Peninsula, she is an expert negotiator. We were confident in the process, and felt that we were always in good hands. Honest, hardworking and personable, we would recommend Laura with confidence.

We are very lucky to have worked with Adam on our Pebble Beach purchase. Adam is unlike any agents we’ve worked with in the past because his interests are completely aligned to his client’s needs. Adam spent 6 months finding us our dream home. He is very diligent, communicates daily on leads, and maintains a very professional demeanor. Adam was not afraid to dig in and negotiate hard on our behalf! I highly recommend Adam for your next transaction!

I felt that he was an awesome realtor who demonstrated patience and knowledge during our process. He has great time management skills and was diligent in responding to questions asked. I would definitely recommend!!!

Highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a real estate professional on the peninsula. He was able to sell our house very quickly and above list price. Zach possesses a thorough knowledge of the market/industry, coupled with a warm & personable demeanor. He provided excellent advice as we navigated the process and his marketing strategy really paid off! Throughout the experience he was resourceful, enthusiastic and most importantly, patient. He helped make a potentially stressful time more comfortable for all of our household.

After having the house listed with several other brokers, for several years, and not having had one offer I decided to hire Pete Ruiz. Using his interior design skills, he pointed out a few things to adjust and the house sold within a month.

Nicole and staff were great from start to finish and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. It was flawless and effortless experience. Nicole and staff kept us informed as the process progressed per phone calls and follow up emails. All paperwork was signed electronically which may it very convenient with our time. Nicole was professional and looked out for our best interests throughout the entirety of our home buying experience.

Gary & April

Thank you, Brad!

Adam has been very helpful and professional since I worked with him in the beginning. He always makes himself available almost immediately whenever I have questions or need his help. However, he is not the type of agent who is pushy with clients. So I feel comfortable having him as my agent. Adam is trustworthy, responsible, and sincere in his profession. I highly recommend him if you need help in the real estate business!

Nicole was an absolute gem; helped us buy a property in Monterey. Nicole followed through every step along the way to signing at the title company for our purchase. She has endless energy and such a positive attitude; we would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a perfect experience buying or selling!

Responsive and professional. I contacted Pete after being referred by a friend and I'm glad I did. He was always available for me to contact and had the answer to each and all of my questions. Thanks to Pete I was able to get in a position to now be buying this year. Looking forward to continuing the work with you and I'm very thankful for all the help, guidance and patience you've shown with me.

Pete and his team were a fantastic choice for our family. Looking for the right vacation home in Monterey was quite difficult since we've only vacationed there and not lived there as residents. Pete was always punctual, informative and most importantly says what he does and does what he says. While our search will continue into the next year, he's treated us just as well as someone who's getting ready to close on their home purchase today. Go with Pete, you won't be disappointed.

I recommend Adam - he is incredibly professional, extremely efficient and responsive, and overall a joy to work with. He took extra care with my family and even played role of playmate to my young kids. If I ever needed anything during the long process of house hunting and buying, I never hesitated to contact Adam as he was always available, friendly and helpful.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for all your help finding a rental home until were ready to buy. I'm very thankful that you took the time out to help us even though we're a year or so from buying our first home. Your team is incredible, professional and just caring. Wish there were more like you all out there.

If you are looking for an amazing realtor to help you navigate through the home buying process, look no further! Pete Ruiz is outstanding, professional and an all around great person to work with. Pete took the extra time to educate and guide us every step of the way through the intimidating yet exciting journey of buying our first home. I could not have imagined working with anyone else! We were blessed to have had Pete and his team help make our dreams come true. Truly a white glove, five star experience from beginning to end!!

Pete Ruiz is an exceptional agent and a star. His enthusiasm for his work translates to action in his ability to follow through with his clients’ needs and at their greatest advantage. He is interpersonally, a delight. Opportunity to spend an hour viewing houses with him is like we’re in the presence of greatness. We enjoy our time with Pete but also know he is responsible and gets it done! His team is otherwise exceptional. Natalie is a gem. We love the whole group.

Pete and his team of professionals helped consult and educate me with some Realestate decisions. All bases covered from knowledge, process, responsiveness, and negotiation in the highest regard. NO better group in the game. Strongly recommend The Ruiz Group!!

I can speak to his understanding of the commercial market, is ability to find and evaluate new opportunities, and his overall professionalism. He has continued to present investment opportunities to my family over the years. I recommend him highly.

Pete was great. He took the time to go over the pros and cons of the properties we were looking for. He was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and schools. He also talked about future resale value and where to and where not to buy. I would definitely recommend him and his Group.

Adam showed me a property. He’s truly amazing at what he does and personable. He was so helpful in finding different properties. We will definitely recommend him to friends/family and anyone looking for a great realtor!

Being a first time buyer, Zach was very helpful when I had questions. Seeing that he has been in the area for many years, he always had the answer and was very helpful!

In 2016 I was in the need to find a home for my family in a short period of time. My credit was not the best at the time and Zach worked with the owner of the property and made the rental become a reality. In all probability, I would not have been successful in renting our home without his expertise. I highly recommend Zach for any of your real estate needs.

Brad was wonderful in helping us find and purchase our home. He navigated a tough market and stayed patient with us from start to finish. We toured dozens homes with Brad by our side.

Zach listened to our needs and helped us find several options that fit our needs. We settled on a Neighborhood with some really great schools. I highly recommend Mr. Goldman.

Very knowledgable of the area! He listened and fully understood what I was looking for. Showed me several ideal locations and never wasted my time. I highly recommend working with Zach. He's quick to respond and he was never pushy.

Zach fully understands the local Monterey market, he took the time to educate myself and my family on realistic options within our budget and cannot wait until we are ready to list our home, he will be our first call!

Zach is exactly what I am looking for in a realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the state of the housing market and conveys his knowledge in a way that eliminates or minimizes any anxiety during the process.

The entire staff top to bottom was amazing. Their knowledge of the area, different properties, etc. was second to none. We never felt pressured and they took the time to answer all of our questions. A truly quality service.

The experience I had with the Ruiz group was phenomenal. The group is very well respected in the bay valley area. They are very good at showing properties and very friendly. I defiantly will be recommending them to my peers.

The Ruiz Group was very helpful to me as I needed to relocate to the Carmel area of California ! They had a lot of houses to choose from and a very experienced team !!!

Extremely pleased with his professionalism and guidance throughout our time together. He was very patient with all my questions and he made sure to provide me with valuable market information.

Pete was super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional throughout my experience as a first time home seller. Pete and his team made great suggestions for preparing my 15 acre property to go on the market and created a beautiful high quality marketing package that helped to make my home shine. They were in touch with me every step of the way and got two offers above my asking price at the first open house! I highly recommend them!

Just wanted to say thank you Pete for all that you did to help my family. You and your team did a fantastic job keeping us informed, educated and stress-less. Thanks!

My husband and I have used multiple Realtors over the last 20 years buying/selling homes in San Antonio, Fresno, Seattle and now finally Monterey. I can confidently say the experience we had with Pete has ranked head and shoulders above all others. Every meticulous detail was covered and his communication was superb. 10/10 experience!

I can't say enough good things about Adam Bomarito. I worked with him both buying a house and then selling a condo this year. He is a hard working, dedicated, honest, personable young man who gives 150%. You can't go wrong if you choose Adam to be your realtor. I highly recommend him!

Hi Pete & The Ruiz Group,

I just wanted to thank you again for taking time out your day to consult me on the local real estate market. Though I am not going to be purchasing for another 14-16 months, Pete treated me the same as a client who is per-approved now. Thank you for your professionalism and care and I look forward to using you next December. Thanks!

We are working with Joe to buy a house. Joe is knowledgable, honest and easy to communicate with. I am confident we found the right realtor to help us find the right home.

We've purchased multiple homes with Pete in Carmel and Pebble Beach. He took the time to really understand what our needs were and delivered. He is very responsive, has a deep understanding of the local market, negotiated hard on our behalf and delivered us houses we love. Highly recommend if you are looking to purchase a home in the Carmel or Pebble Beach area.

We were referred to Adam by a friend. Adam is super passionate with his career. We were very impressed by his enthusiasm and knowledge about purchasing. Even though we cannot go with Adam for our own reason, we do recommend Adam to everyone who is trying to sell/purchase a perfect home.

I have sold seven houses in my lifetime and none of them has gone as smoothly as this one. Pete sold our house sooner and for more money than we expected and even helped with the purchase of our new house in Rocklin. He was on top of everything and made it a stress free transition. I would recommend the Ruiz Group to anyone and hope the best for Pete and his family.

I recently sold a home in San Jose California and moved to the Monterey area. Pete Ruiz was highly referred to me as the best realtor to work with. I was impressed with Pete and his professional team during my home purchase. Without any doubt, Pete is number one realtor in the Monterey area to use.u

Even though we had a difficult seller Brad was great & was always available! We lived 3000 miles away and he was so helpful to us during the whole process!

Brad was amazing to work with on the sale of my aunts home, his knowledge and expertise was a lifesaver during a difficult and emotional time for me and my family. Brad was extremely dedicated and helpful from start to finish with my self imposed aggressive timeline. If you are looking for a dedicated, hard working, friendly agent Brad is your guy!

I have enjoyed working with Cameron so far looking for a home in Seaside, CA, Cameron has assisted me in getting accustomed to the area and has been with me every step of the way. He has a great attitude and in-depth knowledge of the local market.
