TESTIMONIALS

  • S.K.
    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!
  • Brandalyn B.
    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
  • Trifilo
    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.
  • Second Home Buyer
    Kimberly made a possible dream for our family become reality. She represented us in purchasing our 2nd home. Our 3 children get to spend time with their grandparents and make lifelong memories. Kimberly is selfless and genuinely cares about your best interest. She works with a team that makes it fun while executing effortlessly. Without hesitation we give her our highest recommendation.
  • J.R.
    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.
  • J. Margo
    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.
  • Happy Buyer
    We met Nicole over 2 years ago just by chance. We walked into her RE office on a Saturday and inquired about homes on the market in Pacific Grove. She immediately took the time to meet with us and showed us a property that was listed in her office. That was the beginning of a wonderful relationship. She put us on a drip campaign of the area we were interested in purchasing a second, vacation home. We have looked at several listings and finally decided on a specific condo complex in Carmel. Nicole took the time to draft a letter to homeowner's in this complex letting them know that she had clients who were serious buyers and to contact her if they were interested in selling their condo. We are now the proud owners of a second home and Nicole made our "dreams" come true. She is very detailed and attentive. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking in the Monterey/Pacific Grove/Carmel area for a home to purchase. She is definitely a "5 Star" recipient!!!
  • S.L. Gaylord
    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!!!
  • Colby Nemeth
    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.
  • Christal Sexton
    I have never sold a house before in my life. I knew nothing about the process, Nicole walked me hand in hand through each step. She was amazing and is the sweetest lady I have ever met! She helped me through each and every process. Anything that I needed help with she was always there to answer questions and ready to help. I would highly recommend her to anybody who wants to sell or buy a house.
  • E. Moonie
    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.
  • Beth Hamel
    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!
  • l. Ralph
    The market in Salinas has been crazy the last couple of months, but Adam pulled through for us! Not only did he find us a house, but he found a house with everything we were looking for! Very dependable, reliable and always ready to answer our questions and concerns. Would highly recommend!
  • B. Cates
    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.
  • William H. Tienken Barros
    From the first phone call to the final signature, Adam was with me through every step. Always encouraging, never pushy... I couldn't be happier! He guided through the process seamlessly in less than 30 days. I now Im a homeowner with no hassle or regrets. Thank you!
  • M. Darrigo
    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.
  • Cathy Laird
    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!!
  • John
    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.
  • Bifabi
    Nicole walked us through every step of the way! It was such a great pleasure working with her on the purchase of our home! We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Nicole! Her knowledge and constant drive along the way is amazing! Nicole is the BEST!
  • Nicole Manuguerra
    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.
  • Nancy Delsanto
    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.
  • You Are In Great Hands
    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.
  • Happy Client
    "The Ruiz Group is a company full of hardworking, trusting individuals. Their dedication to helping me find the perfect space for me is what makes me want to recommend them to others."
  • Happy Buyers
    "We recommend The Ruiz Group to anyone looking for property in the Monterey area. In our case The Ruiz Group was responsive whenever we had inquiries as the building was completed (and for a complex project there were a lot of inquiries). They kept us informed as the project progressed, coordinated inspections and appraisals to make sure closing would happen on the scheduled date, and their managing the process so well made our purchase as smooth as possible."
  • Cesar Gallardo
    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!
  • Corb
    Nicole is my number one realtor in the area and whom I trust greatly! I am a first time buyer and she answered my every question and found me the perfect homes that were right what I was looking for. As an active duty member she understood exactly what fit best for my needs. Really happy with my home and made the whole experience fantastic!
  • Virginia Grant
    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.
  • C.P.
    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.
  • Happy Buyer
    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Zach Goldman on a house purchase in Carmel-by-the-Sea from 8,000 miles away. We were extraordinarily happy with his work, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to find a home in the area.

    When we began our search for a real estate broker, we sent inquiries to 13 local agents. Zach was the first to respond, and his responsiveness proved to be a hallmark of his service throughout the process. As we work in the Middle East, not only were we doing everything virtually, but we were dealing with an 11 hour time difference. Zach was consistently responsive to our early morning and late evening messages, always available for a phone call, and patient with our questions. He demonstrated excellent judgment throughout, and we appreciated his candid, no-nonsense style.

    Zach clearly knows what he's doing, gives sound advice, and really showed us that he was someone we could trust-- a critical trait, considering our distance. Zach got us to the finish line on our purchase, and we could not be happier.
  • A.D.R
    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.
  • Branson Cowan
    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.
  • Shelly Meze
    Kristin changed our lives. My husband and I had become exhausted looking at countless homes that weren’t right for our family. Then covid hit and we hit the brakes on our new home dreams because we didn’t think we would be able to sell our current home in such a turbulent market. A few days before Memorial Day weekend, I casually sent my husband a listing “jokingly” saying we should just buy a house that was just listed because it had everything we needed. We called Kristin because we just needed to see it to satisfy our curiosity and she immediately set up the showing, where we fell in love. 20 days after I had sent my husband the listing, we were not only in contract for the perfect home for our family (at a great negotiated price), Kristin also had moved so quickly that our current home was in contract with A FULL PRICED OFFER. We couldn’t believe it and definitely could not have done it without Kristin. We’ve worked with other realtors in the past and we were blown away by how much easier Kristin made the process. All we had to do was pack and we were moved in by the second week of July. That’s buying and selling a home in less than 45 days.
    Now settling into our new home, it has everything we need, our kids love it and the house two doors down, with the exact floor plan as ours, is currently in contract for $200k+ more than what Kristin was able to get our house for. Kristin treats you like family, she is empathetic, on top of it and HUSTLES for her clients. I cannot thank her enough and actually look forward to doing this all over again with her. Thank you Kristin!
  • Garrett Kaprielian
    Kristin helped us buy our current home and sell our previous home. She was great, on top of her stuff and coordinated every detail for us. The home we were selling was one we had poured our whole heart into, but our family had outgrown. Kristin was empathetic and loyal to our requests and got us a great sales price (more than we had hoped). She made us feel great about the whole process and we have no regrets. She also negotiated a great deal on our new home and we truly could not be happier with our decision. I would highly recommend Kristin in any real estate transaction. She knows Monterey county, she’s personable and knows who to call when her clients need something. Great, upfront, no nonsense and honest realtor.
  • J.G.
    Zach helped my wife and me buy our first home and we couldn't be happier! Zach is very knowledgeable and had an amazing way of easing our concerns as first-time homebuyers (and generally anxious people to begin with!). Zach got us a great price (well below the asking price) despite competing offers and was able to negotiate further price reductions for issues that were revealed during escrow. He did this all in an efficient and effective manner, despite the whole process occurring during the COVID pandemic. What we appreciated most about Zach was his responsiveness. I am an attorney and admittedly went overboard combing through every word of every document, which led to many questions. Zach was patient, understanding and helpful each time I had a question, which was quite a bit. All in all, I can't recommend Zach strongly enough. My wife and I are now happy homeowners, mostly thanks to Zach!
  • Robert Hight
    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!!!!!
  • Ian Larsson
    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!
  • Claudia Mexicano
    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.
  • Bianca Nunez
    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!
  • Ryan Casserly
    Nicole provided a personal and customized experience start to finish. Her attention to detail is excellent and her local knowledge and network is impressive. She was quick to identify the important features in prospective homes and made the process efficient and enjoyable.
  • Lee Vining
    First, I should note that we threw a number of variables for Zach to deal with when we asked him to be our Buyer's agent. It was early May and California was still in Shelter-in-Place and he expertly and professionally dealt with the constraints which that entailed, while being extra respectful of my wife's concerns related to Covid transmission. We had a very limited geographical area that we were interested in, primarily looking for something within walking distance to the Aquarium and with access to MST bus lines. The transaction was going to have to be a VA Loan. And finally, because of a variety of issues we needed to complete Closing within eight weeks of the beginning of our search.
    That seems like a tall order but with Zach Goldman as our agent not only did the job get done but with a level of competence that had us feeling confident and at ease throughout the process.
    More than anything, Zach was patient and understanding of the fact that we were first time home buyers. After identifying and viewing four potential properties, we initially put in a bid and then withdrew it after perceiving some snags. Zach allowed us to make our decisions without pressure or judgement, gave us several weeks to cool off and re-assess, and then gently approached us again to see how we wanted to proceed.
    We instructed Zach to put in a bid on the property we ultimately purchased, he gently guided us in putting in a competitive bid, and was there for us every step of the way with potential roadblocks like the assumption of a solar lease, VA appraisal, Section One clearance, City Report, and a delicate timeline on taking possession of the property.
    Throughout this process, we had 100% confidence in Zach and trusted him completely to act in our best interest. No longer a real estate rookie, I can say that this factor of trust is probably the single most important thing in a real estate transaction and Zach Goldman is in your corner and has your back completely. He was available and responsive to our concerns and questions and panics 24/7 and always with a friendly, calm, and professional demeanor.
    Zach's knowledge of the local market and working relationships with lenders, appraisers, inspectors, tradesmen, etc is extensive. I simply cannot imagine a better outcome or imagine going through this process with anyone other than Zach. He is the best!!!!
  • Juan Vasco
    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!
  • Teddy Patigian
    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.
  • T. Marie
    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.
  • D. Chapin
    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.
  • tashah83
    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!!!
  • DiFrancoEntertainment
    Nicole was amazing! She absolutely was the most helpful and knowledgeable agent. She knew how to deal with every topic and all the working parts of our house purchase. You can totally see that she has many years of experience dealing with all the other topics related to the purchase. She knew exactly what needed to be done, dealt with the little snags that came along with it and had the best people available to help us with every part of the purchase. I knew I was in the best hands possible and felt like she put everything into making our home purchase an exciting instead of stressful experience. I would recommend her time and time again to anyone looking to buy a new property. You won’t regret picking her!!!
  • user4113886
    Nicole is extremely knowledgeable of the greater Carmel-Monterey area real estate market. She is professional, courteous, and responsive to all our property search need. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the area. Frank V.
  • ian98
    I have worked with Simeon on more than 30 deals in Texas and California, I can reccomend him without hesitation. He is client focused, understands what shoud be done to secure a purchase at the best price and has sold properties for me at asking price in a short time. Ian
  • BriannaEtoria
    Simeon Etoria helped us buy our first home. He took us to multiple locations with very little notice and never pressured us to commit to a house we didn't love. Simeon is a great balance of likable/down-to-earth and knowledgeable/professional. Would highly recommend his services for buying or selling!
  • chris durandetto
    Goes above and beyond to make sure he gets you into a home that fits you, no matter the time and distance he is always there for you. Was a first time homebuyer when we bought and didn’t know the first thing about buying a home. Very responsive to questions and getting things done
  • Sonia Cubas
    My boyfriend and I started looking for a house about 6 months ago. We knew nothing about the market in Monterey or exactly where we wanted to be. Adam showed us around all the neighborhoods (PG, Monterey, Seaside) and he was so knowledgeable about all of them. He showed us what our money could get and showed us very realistic properties, while also hitting the amenities we were looking for. Adam found us the perfect house with everything that we were looking for. He was very quick to respond to all my questions and concerns, while also being available whenever we wanted to see a property (even while being super last minute). He was very on it when we decided to place a bid and knew exactly what to do when we found out someone else had also placed a bid. We are very fortunate to have worked so closely with Adam and would 100% recommend him to any first time buyers like us.
  • clbrown007
    Pete and his team were exceptional, they were easy to work with and very professional. They provided great inputs and advice and also accepted our ideas for how we wanted to proceed during the sale. Ultimately we sold in record time and Pete closed the entrie deal within 10 days all while overseas, I highly recommend them!
  • mrichards459
    We recommend The Ruiz Group to anyone looking for property in the Monterey area.

  • user1567595
    I would highly recommend Nicole Ushakoff to anyone looking for a realtor on the Monterey Peninsula. We recently completed our fourth real estate transaction with her. She is so knowledgeable and professional. With Nicole, you always feel she has your best interest in mind and will go to bat for you in every way. I wouldn't consider using anyone else.
  • Trenton Pearson
    ATTENTION TO EVERYONE FROM MONTEREY COUNTY- If you ever need a real estate agent to help you with buying or selling, you MUST contact the Ruiz Group especially Pete. Pete helped us with listing our property in Pebble Beach. His team went above and beyond in terms of marketing the property, doing open houses and so on. Pete was also VERY responsive to all of our questions and concerns and reassured us that things were going to work out when times were tough. This man literally went above and beyond in making sure the job got done. Thank you for all your hard work!
  • Peace4u
    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.
  • PhilippeTourtin
    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.
  • vlayrocks
    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.

Thank you, Brad!
  • mike35834
    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!
  • dna264
    I highly recommend Adam Bomarito as a prime real estate agent. He was kind enough to show me some beautiful properties in Pebble Beach. I appreciated how timely he was for every meeting we had and during every showing he was so thorough in explaining and showing me the features of the home. He also was incredibly kind and attentive and made me feel very comfortable working with him. He also seemed quite experienced in the real estate field and I was comforted by that. In addition, whenever I would email him or contact him he was very prompt with responding which is another quality I appreciated about him. I will definitely be recommending him to friends of mine!
  • monicamurphy76
    If you are looking for a real estate agent in the Monterey County area look no further! My husband and I were first time home buyers, and started the process very slowly and cautiously. We met Nicole about a year and a half before we purchased our home , and she stuck by us the entire time, all along knowing we weren’t really ready when we first started looking. She is patient, not the least bit pushy, knows the ins and outs of basically all real estate in the area; and is personable, kind and honest. She responded to texts, emails, and phone calls within minutes - patiently answering any question, no matter how insignificant it seemed at the time, when we did start the home buying process. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I meet looking to purchase a home in the area!
  • jcordjonas
    Hi Pete, Jonas here.
    Told you I'd be more then happy to get on here and write a review of my experience with you and your team. I was very thankful to meet you at the Wounded Warrior Charity event last year. While I had high expectations, you continually would exceed them. I've worked with 12 different Realtors in the past 25 years and I can confidently say that you're the best yet. I'm looking forward to continually working with you in finding the right home now that my family is in the area. Thanks again and talk to you soon!
  • marthaedna
    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!
  • lopezclothingline
    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.
  • kaimacklemore75
    I don't normally do reviews but I do feel compelled to leave one for Pete. Not writing one I think is a disservice to the highest quality professionalism I've been seen from a Real Estate team. After being reassigned from outside the country, my wife and I were quite fearful about entering the real estate market in an entirely new country. After searching through multiple sites, it was clear the top choice in the area was Pete Ruiz (as evident by his reviews). Going in with already sky-high expectations, Pete continued to deliver above and beyond expectations. While we wait for the sale of our home in Auckland (too bad we couldn't use Pete for this sale!), Pete has been instrumental in finding us temporary living until we finish our last real estate transaction. In short, Pete is a godsend and if you're buying or selling in his area, he's the top choice.
  • stricklandpowersolutions
    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.
  • RaniaMelhem
    Extremely impressed with Adam Bomarito's ability to take my vision of what kind of style home I am looking for and truly deliver. His knowledge on the area is unbeatable. I have gone through a few agents in the past, but I have never came across someone who makes me feel as comfortable as he does without putting any pressure. I read the other reviews before contacting Adam, and these other folks are not kidding when they say how personable and attentive he is. He goes over and beyond and makes himself available to you 24/7.

    Genuinely appreciate the time, attention, and dependability he provided.
  • MazGunj
    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.
  • inliner9
    Several years ago, my wife and I began searching for a home in Monterey/PG to which to downsize when we both retired. The search started casually by spending a Saturday or two a month going to open houses to get a feel for neighborhoods and to better understand the market. This brought us into contact with dozens of agents. Like any occupation, there is a wide variety of personalities and skill sets among agents. Last summer, we decided to step up our search as we honed in on our vision of what our dream house would look like.

    During one fateful open house, we met Adam Bomarito. We weren't quite at the point where we were looking to sign up with an agent but Adam changed that. The stark contrast between Adam and all the other agents we have talked to was shocking. A lot of other reviewers have expressed thoughts about Adam similar to ours: "above and beyond", "extremely personable", "dedicated", "truly amazing". We entrusted Adam with helping us with what was a momentous decision as we navigate the transition from career life to retirement and are ecstatic with the outcome. In fact, we would recommend Adam unconditionally if you want an agent who will work tirelessly, who can understand your vision, who is the consummate professional and who will take whatever time it takes to achieve your goals.

    What an AMAZING realtor! Zach impressed me from the very beginning when I called him looking for a new property manager and asked him a series of questions. Zach gave me his time, listened carefully, and gave me detailed explanations. Hearing my needs, he suggested I consider his lease service. Having never heard of this before, Zach explained that he would set up all the initial documents, listings, background checks, personal showings, collection of first month and security deposit, signing of the lease, and convenience of digital forms for clients living in remote locations. From there, he would hand over the reins to me going forward to handle the rest directly with the tenants. This sounded perfect, so I went forward with this service. Well... I think Zach set a realtors record because THREE DAYS LATER, a highly qualified set of tenants are moving into our rental property at a THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE than our previous property manager advised charging!!! Zach has been thoroughly professional, timely, respectful, and has gone above and beyond to be available and helpful. I am incredibly grateful to Zach for such benchmark work and look forward to working with him ongoing. I have only positive things to say about my experience with Zach Goldman and highly recommend him to anyone seeking highest quality results in lightspeed time. Realtors could learn A LOT from Zach's integrity and customer service oriented approach. Thanks again, Zach!

    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!!
  • courtneymurphyphd
    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.
  • costellasean
    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!!
  • nicoletonti
    I have known Zach for over 30 years. He is a great person and realtor. 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.
  • user5040903
    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.
  • Jessica Hinsz
    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!

    If you have the chance to work with Adam, do it. You will be happy with your choice! He is extremely personable and I enjoyed my time working with him. I was able to see beautiful homes because of him. I was continually impressed with his knowledge of the market and upbeat attitude. If you are looking for someone who is a good listener, helpful, and trust worthy he is for you! I would recommend him as my realtor of choice.
  • jmartin425
    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!
  • Monterey1972
    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.
  • ryneryno6
    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.
  • shawnroberts337
    The Ruiz Group is a company full of hardworking, trusting individuals. Their dedication to helping me find the perfect space for me is what makes me want to recommend them to others.

  • erinlawler2
    I am moving to Monterey/Pacific Grove from Texas and Zillow connected me with Zach. His knowledge and professionalism mixed with a kind, assertiveness I found extremely helpful and refreshing. He always takes the time to listen and understand what we are looking for. I feel very grateful to be working with Zach. Thanks Zach!
  • Alexandra Rousso
    Pete consulted me this past year on buying a home. As a first time home buyer I had many questions and inquiries about the market and about the loan process. Pete was able to inform me about the current market trends in my area as well as how to go about securing a loan for my fiancé and I. Not only was he a wealth of knowledge when it came to the real estate market, he also is very knowledgeable about loans and how you are able to go about buying or selling your home. If you’re looking for an agent who is willing to go to bat for you, provide you with excellent service and knowledge while making the stressful process buying or selling a home more exciting then the Ruiz Group is the team you are looking for. I highly recommend this group for those who are looking to buy or put their home for sale on the market.
  • zuser20161114220327503

    Adam showed me several homes in Monterey county. He was friendly and very professional while being very responsive to changing needs. When I decided to move to Southern California, Adam was so helpful ensuring I found an agent in the area I was interested in. He researched and introduced me to an agent that was an expert in my new area of interest.

    Adam is the type of agent that goes above and beyond and works so diligently to make sure his clients are happy. I highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for their dream home!

    I have been looking for an investment property in Monterey bay or a possible property development in prunedale. Zach has been extremely helpful in the search. He always answers or texts in a very timely manner. He goes the extra mile to dig up info on properties: permits, zoning, water credits etc. I would strongly recommend Zach for any of your real estate needs. He has been a pleasure to work with and is a real Go-Getter
  • Valentine Spokoiny
    Ari was very knowledgeable and sincere when I went to him with questions regarding the purchase of a property. He made me feel like I had known him for my entire life even though we had just recently met. He gave me lots of insight that that I had never thought if before. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

    My wife an I are interested in buying a home on the peninsula and we were referred to Mr. Ari Goldman from a friend. I must say from the initial phone call I was very impressed on his knowledge of the area and his ability to connect with our vision of what style of home we were looking to buy.

    We will definitely be working with Mr. Goldman when we decided to purchase our new home later this year!

    Thank you !
  • zuser20171001081319317
    Adam was very tentative to our needs and wants, and showed us exactly the types of property we were looking for. We will definitely contact him in the future.
  • zuser20160114210806132
    Adam Bomarito and The Ruiz Group have gone above and beyond my expectations, I believed a real estate aggency would provide. Adam is always available to answers any questiions or concerns, I have encountered so far in my home buying experience. I have never felt pressured by Adam after he showed us a home. I can't wait until he finds us are perfect home and look forward to continue this amazing journey with him.

    Ari made the whole experience of looking for a house a piece of cake and enjoyable. I was really stressing about how I was going to find the right place for me, but Ari was very knowledgeable and found a way to help me out. Truly appreciate the time, attention, and dependability he provided.

    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.
  • 18110
    Can not say enough good things about Pete. He was very realistic in consulting me and told me what I needed to hear. Kind, respectful man and it was a pleasure to work with him. Loved his competitive nature and baseball background because it seems like he was ahead of his competition in local knowledge. Will definitely be using him again for the future, and if you're looking for a Real Estate Group, this is the one to use!
  • wadaly273
    Ari is an awesome realtor. Had the pleasure of working with him earlier this year while he showed us a few listing that fit the characteristics we were looking for. He was extremely responsive for any follow up questions we may have had and was also attentive to our needs. In general Ari was a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended.
  • kylewilliamgordon
    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!
  • Bryon Zapf
    I’ve been looking for a second home in the Carmel area and was referred to Pete by a work colleague. She and her family used him several times in the past and raved about him. I was a little reluctant to start working with an agent and yet I’m so glad I did. Pete knows the area inside and out. He understands the market and has been an invaluable resource, especially considering I’m from out of town. He works harder than any agent I’ve worked with before and is quick to respond to my inquiries — no matter what day or time it is. He has a cool dimeaner and I have every confidence we’ll find the perfect second home for me.
  • j gldmn
    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. He is very responsive, which is just one of the ways he demonstrates his genuine care for his clients. I cannot recommend Zach strongly enough.
  • Elva Robledo
    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.
  • zuser20170822153449692
    Brad's standout qualities: he was willing to educate us, his clients; he was willing to listen to us and gave us advice along the way, and was very patient with us.
  • david b price jr
    Recently my wife and I were looking to relocate from Colorado to California and needed a good agent in the area to help us. While we're still going through the process of relocating, we have had multiple meets with Pete and his team and I only have amazing things to say. It's been difficult not knowing the area whatsoever but he's been there to answer every question. While we now are going to be renting first, he's helped us into a position of buying by outlining all the markets in the area he'd recommend. Thank you for all your help Pete.
  • marrzonian
    Brad is a true professional. Prompt, thoughtful, prepared, and focussed. He did a great job selling our > $1M+ custom home in 2018. The property was unique and located in a less traveled area. 6000ft2 with a layout over 3 levels, on 7.5 acres. He evaluated the property and priced the home at the top of the market. His team was outstanding and provided a well coordinated marketing plan to prepare and sell the home. With Brad's steady persistence and strong negotiating skills we got 3 offers at our price, and most importantly, a smooth close.
    We decided to have Brad to help us buy our next home in Monterey. Brad educated us on the area neighborhood pros and cons. His fast action on a home listing got us an advanced showing and helped us get the home despite despite many other offers. Brad knew how to amplify the benefits of our offer beyond price and help the sellers see we were their best choice. He suggested contractors for us to build out the home and make it ours.
    I will use Brad Griffin in the future and recommend him without reservation.
  • robsegedin
    Thank you for all your help getting me on the right path to buying. While I'm about a year out now from buying, I can't thank you enough for walking me through how to better prep. If I hadn't hit you up, I probably would have never been in a good position to buy. Every time I've encountered Pete it's been a home run. I remember in 2014 no one hit a home run on Pete all season when he was on Portland but me. I'm glad that in 2018, we were able to hit a home run together in Real Estate. Thanks for all your help and guidance and you're a better Realtor then pitcher! Thanks again Pete!
  • caren33
    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!
  • cmschanzer
    Adam Bomarito is a highly energetic, dedicated, and service-oriented real estate professional. From his quick and honest response to our inquiry online from Chicago to his tireless can-do attitude throughout our home search process, Adam guided us through an extremely challenging long distance purchase of a beautiful home in Pasadera.
    With the help of other members of his KellerWilliams team, he orchestrated the closing of our home to meet our ideal timeline.
    Thank you again for everything, Adam!

    Hey Pete, Hanley here!
    Appreciate you helping me get out of Boston as quick as you did. I know I gave you little time to find me the right home but as you know things just didn't work out in Boston as I had thought they would. To others reading this, Pete is an incredible Realtor who will do his absolute best for you. He's a true client-first type of guy. Thanks Pete and see you on the diamond.
  • cbrischke
    Zach is very professional, attentive, reassuring, and knowledgeable. He listened to what we were looking for in a home and took us to several listings he thought would work for us- places that we would have never considered on our own (including the house we ended up purchasing).

    He has a great sense of humor and creates a sense of calm in the storm that is buying a home. He always made himself available to us and answered all of our questions thoroughly and patiently (even the ones we asked multiple times).

    We love our new home and would highly recommend Zach to friends, family, or strangers!

    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!
  • user352910419
    Joe helped us sell our rental property! He was very helpful and was excellent at communicating with us and our tenant throughout the process of the sale. We were pleased that he was able to get us an all cash offer within 3 days after listing the home. I would strongly recommend him to any of my friends.

    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!
  • loripiombo6
    As new home buyers with limited knowledge of the Monterey Pennisula, we hit the realtor jackpot with the Ruiz Group! Pete Ruiz is a seasoned professional who makes you feel like you are his only client- a rare combination! From start to finish he was there for us- patiently answering every question and meeting us at anytime. We truly valued his opinion and were impressed with his knowledge of all aspects of the market, from construction issues to rental property. We would highly recommend the Ruiz Group and look forward to future projects with Pete and his team.
  • hokieromero
    Working with Pete a second time, I knew this home purchase would go smooth. Pete and his team are masters of turning the chaos of a real estate transaction into a controlled and monitored process. Pete maintains a very effective process to ensure there's no red flags, you're not caught off guard and so on. Thanks for everything Pete and I know we'll work together again soon.
  • Tim Honda
    I have known Joe for long time and it was easy choice to go with Joe and his real estate partner to sell our house. They priced and marketed my Condo right, held a great open house and got us an above asking price offer right away. Joe updated us throughout the closing process and made it a very quick and stress free process. I have and will continue to recommend Joe to anyone I know who is interested in working with a great person and realtor.
  • zuser20150419193959402
    We are working with Joe to buy a house and find him to be very knowledgeable, honest and patient with us. He connected us with a lender that we like and pre-approved us for a loan. Since this is the first time we are buying a house Joe explains everything and emails a step by step process of what will happen when we have an offer accepted. We enjoy working with Joe because of his clear communication and easy going personality.
  • Roy E Johnson
    Joe really takes the time to understand what his clients are looking for. He is extremely responsive and wants the best for his clients. He showed us houses for several months in a limited inventory market. He was very patient and after not finding a home we loved he helped us find a rental property. Joe was professional, understanding, responsive and at no time pushed us to put in an offer on any house we do not love.

    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.
  • Cindy McGrane
    There is no way we would have been able to purchase the home we did, without Pete. He was fearless and provided us with a successful strategy to negotiate hard and get the best price..a full $185,000 below asking!
    In addition, he fought to get more than $15,000 in work done and credits, that we were not expecting, before we closed escrow. He protected our interest at every turn and was always readily available to talk to us and work out any issues as they came up very quickly. He made us feel as though we were his only clients and made the process so much easier. His resources and network of professionals provided us with a great team to support our purchase, as well.
    We can't believe we now own our "dream home" in beautiful Monterey and are so grateful to Pete for all he did for us.
    Thank you, Pete!
  • bringbackdino
    Adam was the absolute best. Started out with another agent who was the worst, and Adam was the total opposite. I couldn’t recommend Adam enough. He took the time to communicate effectively the way that worked best for me. Adam advocated on my behalf and had all the knowledge to back it up. I am very happy with the house he helped get my family into.
  • pickering will
    I had the pleasure of selling and buying a house with Joe. Joe constantly provided feedback, updated us throughout both the selling and buying process and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Joe sold our house so we could buy a new one. Without his help I am not sure we would have been able to close on our new amazing home. For the home we were selling the deck needed to be replaced in order for buyers VA lender to fund their loan. Getting a contractor out in the Bay Area in short notice is nearly impossible and if you do they charge an arm and a leg. Joe was able to use his connections to have our deck rebuilt immediately and at a very reasonable price too. In addition on the new home we purchased, Joe used similar connections to help us redo the floor, painting, remodel the bathroom and fix other items with the house. I would highly recommend Joe, for his quick response time, integrity and ability to quickly get things done.
  • angie9843
    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.
  • suedetrick
    From Peter Ruiz we got solid advice, 24/7 responsiveness by text, email or phone, and a can-do attitude backed up by deep knowledge of the market and the entire real estate process. Adept and proactive at managing all stages from finding our dream home to closing,
    he was able to handle many complexities including a very tight time frame with his solid, reassuring manner, wisdom from experience, and great sense of humor. He was a joy to work with.
  • SuzanneAlvin
    The Ruiz Group, led by the truly exceptional Pete Ruiz, surprised me on every level. It was the easiest realtor experience I have ever had. In face, it was the easiest experience with any business I have had. They are clever and I was lucky- my house sold to the perfect buyer before I could adjust to the idea I had it up for sale! They answered every text, call, and email immediately. They expedited the process of the paperwork. And all the while remaining friendly. Being a realtor is not for the faint of heart-it takes courage and knowledge. They helped me change my life. I trust them comletely and wish them only the best of everything.
  • indiakb
    We began working with Adam Bomarito in October 2017 in search of a home. Adam was very responsive and kept sending us listing of homes for sale in the Seaside Highlands Community. After six months of viewing different homes, we finally found a home that we liked, but a special thanks to Adam who took a .5% cut on his commission to meet our budget. I really appreciate his dedication and assistance in finding the right home within our budget. He was of great assistance through out the whole process from start to finish. He even offered to help us move after close of escrow. I am very grateful forever that Adam and Ruiz Group of Keller Williams Team did for us. You made my dream come true.
    I highly recommend using Adam to find your next home.
  • annieanminliu
    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.
  • bmc428
    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.
  • sabrina hiltunen
    Our family has been very happy working with Adam! His customer service skills are excellent; he actively listens to his clients’ wish list and finds homes that would be great fit. He’s very professional, communicates quickly and efficiently and is a strong advocate for his clients.

    Adam called us on a Sunday afternoon when our dream home fell out of escrow with someone else and he was so on top of the market but he got us a showing the next day and we were able to swoop in and purchase it. If he wasn’t so on top of the market and understood what we want, we may have lost out and we are so happy with our new home!

    We worked with him and both buying and selling a home and he was wonderful and each process. He and his team also go above and beyond, and helped us by meeting a painter to get a bid; that was a huge load off of us and trying to coordinate and just make the process that much smoother and easier.

    Thank you, Adam, for finding our dream home and making our family very happy!
  • michaeljpeters12
    I spontaneously came into the market for a home in my neighborhood and while at the open house I met Cameron. I let him know I was interested in putting in an offer and would potentially need his help selling my current townhouse. I didn't end up selling my townhouse but followed through with the purchase of the new home. Cameron and his associates at The Ruiz Group were wonderful to work with! They were all very professional, accommodating, and low pressure. My lender made numerous mistakes through the process that were extremely frustrating to deal with but Cameron and his team exceeded my expectations by keeping my lender on track and insuring their mistakes didn't hinder my purchase. After closing I even received a call from my bank apologizing for the way they handled my transaction. The apology call was prompted by The Ruiz Group calling my lender and making a formal complaint on my behalf, I didn't ask Cameron and his team to make the call so they took the initiative and went to bat for me! My wife and I are very excited to be in our new home and have Cameron to thank for it! If you or someone you know are in the market for a home in Cameron's area I strongly encourage you to reach out to him for help finding one!
  • lindawlwoods68
    I have to brag about my realtor,Cameron Dermicek, the Ruiz group, Keller Williams in Carmel.This professional team addressed every contingency from staging the home, photographing the property and coming up with the right price . Imagine, seeing your home listed with contemporary tools that were used to give the property complete exposure. Drones were used for aerial views and they also use 3-D matter port tools so every corner of the home could be reviewed online, on the inside of the property. Communication was very effective with Cameron. I was kept involved in every phase of the process so that all negotiations were seamless. The house sold for the price I wanted during the first open house weekend! The can-do attitude of this team is stellar, true professionals . Thank you,Cameron Dermicek. Respectfully, Linda Woods-Susott
  • llahive
    Our agent with this group, Melissa Borzachillo, has been such a fabulous asset for us in our first time home buying experience. No matter what your price point is, she is extremely knowledgeable, accessible, understanding of our needs, and an excellent negotiator. I very highly recommend her for whatever your personal home buying needs are. She is definitely a go-getter and you won’t be disappointed with her on your side as an agent!

    Adam was beyond the beyond! From the very first meeting to closing, his level of professionalism should be featured in textbooks from Harvard to Berkeley. The element this young man styled was far beyond his years on this planet. He presented himself in a manner that would totally disarm the scrutiny of the fussiest buyer. He then endeared himself to the buyer's cause as if it was he purchasing the property. Not a call went unanswered to the highest level of satisfaction. This man is the real deal in real estate! He gets 10 stars out of 5!!!!!

    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

    Pete and his whole team were such a pleasure to work with! He got us top dollar for our home and then got us into our dream home at under market value and asking price (all while strategically working within our budget). We are so impressed with his professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to finding our family the perfect house-- and he succeeded beyond our expectations. If you're looking for the best in the business, you've just found him.

    Cameron has done a great job thus far showing me around the Monterey Peninsula. He listens to what I am looking for, and has a good understanding of my needs in terms of what I want in a home. He has kept in touch with me since the date we originally connected and has been very professional in all interactions. Being a Carmel local helps him understand this market well. I would recommend Cameron to anyone looking on the Peninsula, especially if you're not familiar with the area and need some local knowledge!

    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!
  • mbriseno11
    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!

    Cameron is the person you should turn to when you are looking to sell your home! My husband and I are renting a beautiful home from a dear friend of ours who needs to put it on the market. We found Cameron and put our landlady in touch with him. When he came out to look at the home he was very warm and personable and honest about what needed to be done to the home before it could be put on the market. We highly recommend him! He knows his stuff!

    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.
  • NickLowrey5
    Cameron has been great to work with. He has assisted with every aspect of the buying process. He truly went above and beyond to ensure that the experience of looking for our first home went as smoothly as possible. I am so appreciative for his hard work and diligence. I can, without hesitation, recommend him for anyone looking for an agent!

    Other than being an honest, and respectful individual, Cameron often went out of his way to make sure we were always comfortable. We enjoyed working along side Cameron during the process of selling our home, and we were 100% satisfied with all of the services he provided. He cared more about just selling our home, he cared about us. Over the course of working with Cameron, we have come to realize he is one of the most trustworthy people we have ever dealt with. From the first handshake until the last, we had zero doubts we were ever in the wrong hands. We will be using Cameron indefinitely, thank you for such a profound experience.
  • philjohnston22
    My personal experience with Cameron has been very good. His level of professionalism and integrity spoke for itself as soon as we met with him to start looking for a home. He showed that he cares about his clients by being available to answer and help guide us through the process and answer any questions we had. I highly recommended him to everyone I know in the Monterey area.

    Cameron is a young up and coming real estate agent in the County of Monterey he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his profession. Cameron has given me tours on two different properties and I felt very comfortable with him explaining the two potential residences.
  • SkylerScarlett
    Cameron has been amazing to work with. He's an expert on real estate values in the Carmel, Carmel Valley and Monterey regions and his professionalism is top notch. I highly recommend his services.
  • briana280
    Adam is one of the kindest and most honest realtors my partner and i have come across in our search for a home in the Monterey County! His local knowledge was so helpful and proved so beneficial! What a caring person. There is such a special feeling when your realtor recognizes certain needs and searches out so diligently for your family to be comfortable. I can not say enough! i would recommend Adam to anyone looking in the area!!!
  • Raphaelzcoronado
    Cameron has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We originally connected through work in San Francisco several years ago. My wife and I have been considering making the move to the Monterey Peninsula, so I reached out to Cameron for advice on towns/neighborhoods. He has been nothing but helpful and extremely communicative in our search. We viewed homes in Monterey, Carmel and Seaside all in one day and learned so much more about where we want to buy!
  • hanankhaled66
    While searching for a house on Zillow, I was contacted by a team member in Pete Ruiz group. The following day, Pete and Melissa came to our house to discuss our plans in searching for a house and listing our house for sale. They were very proactive, professional, knowledgeable and very trustworthy. In our past experience with realtors (three times), Pete and his team rank at the top. He definitely works for the benefits of his clients and his best interest is not to close the deal but to get you what you are looking for for the best price. I would definitely recommend him and his team. We did not have the chance to complete the sale with him, but he is the one to go to if we were to purchase or sell a house in the future.

    Adam has showed me several properties in the past month, he's very prompt in responding to my questions and has great knowledge of the local area. He seems to be very dedicated in his real estate career and I look forward to purchasing a home very soon through Adam.
  • opiecrone
    Brad was very helpful with a home that had some special circumstances that required him to do a lot of extra leg work. He was punctual and kept everything positive throughout the sales process!
  • lauriejpams
    What a great Real Estate Proffesional that puts his clients first! Cameron showed me all of the vacant properties in Monterey within 30 minutes of asking his availability. He is very prompt in returning my messages and updates me frequently on the market! Happy to be working with Cameron.
  • Michael Rudoni
    I have been working with Adam for several weeks now. He is very prompt in responding to the questions I have and his dedications shines through with his ability to connect on a personal level. I look forward to working with Adam as my realtor for the Monterey Peninsula.
  • cdesaye
    Brad is an extremely courteous and respectful agent and a great communicator, I could not imagine a more professional and informed resource for my Carmel real estate needs. When we are ready to move forward with the purchase will be working with Brad and his team.

    Brad helped us with:
    Market analysis and research
    Investment advice
    Moving considerations
    Finding local services

    I recently contacted Adam Bomarito in regards to a few properties in Monterey. I was thoroughly impressed with Adam's professionalism and knowledge of the local housing market. Although the timing wasn't right for me, it was refreshing to work with a dedicated and personable individual such as Adam. I will surely reach out to him for my future real estate endeavors.
  • cwiedeman4
    Adam is a patient and dedicated realtor. He has shown me several properties in Monterey County and he continues to impress me with his local knowledge. I have not settled on a home yet but I know I'm in good hands with Adam as my realtor
  • StephenPoma
    Adam was recommended to me from a friend. Since then he and his team "The Ruiz Group" are proving on a daily basis that they are the "go to" realtors for the Monterey Peninsula. His passion shows through his work ethic and ability to put his clients best interest first. We are very glad we met Adam and look forward to purchasing a home with his help. Highly Recommended!!!
  • Paige Kinzler
    Melissa was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and features of the home. She pays attention to the details we asked for and is very professional.
  • nellzion
    I had a very positive experience with Melissa! She is professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. She was also very patient with all of my questions! Five stars.
  • revheatherlauren
    As a first time home buyer I had a ton of questions, Melissa was very patient and super quick to
    answer my questions and on top of my needs. I would work with her again and I absolutely recommend her to others.
  • mwilliamson703
    Let me premise this by saying I rarely write reviews but I have been more than impressed with Melissa. I was looking for a vacation property in the area and I was fortunate enough to have found her through an acquaintance of mine who had a very good things to say about her.

    She has extensive knowledge of the area and based on what she has shown me so far, it's clear that she listens to me and knows what I'm looking for. She is very responsive and easy to get a hold of. If she doesn't answer the phone, then I know I will hear back in less than an hour.

    Not sure what else I can say about Melissa other than I highly recommend working with her!
  • crogerscdo
    Melissa was the pinnacle of professionalism. This was my wife and I’s first time buying a home and Melissa knew the area like the back of her hand. The best part about the experience was that Melissa was always honest with us from start to finish. This made the process far less stressful than we had anticipated because we knew she didn’t just see us as a dollar sign. Also, whenever we had a question about the home buying process Melissa was always readily available to answer numerous questions at a moment’s notice.
