My family had a rather unique situation. The childhood home of my Grandfather (we'll call him "DO") is located in Ventura and was owned by him and his twin brother (who we will call "DA") DO lived in Bakersfield while DA lived alone in the Ventura home. In Nov 2024 DA was hospitalized and told he would no longer be able to live alone. During DA's hospitalization DO visited the home and discovered it's condition had deteriorated significantly and being an almost 100 year old home that had never had any major updates, many items were not up to code. It was decided that the home would be sold to cover the cost of DA's medical care and nursing home expenses but the condition made it clear that a cash buyer would be needed. In late December Austin Hartman was contacted and upon viewing the home provided a very fair cash offer that included all fees and a quick escrow; exactly what was needed. He also shared the plans he had to completely rehabilitate the property and turn it back into a nice home that a new family could enjoy, which made DO very happy because selling was not an easy decision due to sentiment. Unfortunately, 3 days into escrow DA passed away which meant closing would be delayed by a few weeks while necessary documentation regarding the death was processed. DO decided to continue with the sale, knowing he would never live in the home again or have the means to refurbish it himself and being able to have the money available for his own possible future medical needs offered a sense of security during a tough time. However, 3 short weeks later (just 2 days before escrow was ready to close) DO also passed away, rather suddenly. We quickly learned that probate would now be necessary. Some estranged family members made the already long probate process a bit longer and more difficult than anticipated. It took a total of 13.5 months to finally get the ok to finalize the sale and close escrow. During the entire process, which was very emotionally straining and stressful for my mother who was named executor of the estate, Austin remained compassionate, professional, patient and helpful. We are so thankful to him for not only sticking it out, but doing it with such grace and, even though my grandfather won't be able to see the finished product after renovations, we find peace knowing that it will be done as he wished and are looking forward to seeing it ourselves.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Oak Valley to buy and sell my house, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication. The process was seamless and stress-free, thanks to their expertise and attention to detail.

Special mention goes to Armand Maldonado, who went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. He provided invaluable information and guidance at every step, making sure I was well-informed and confident in my decisions. His knowledge of the market and commitment to client satisfaction truly set him apart.

Overall, Oak Valley exceeded my expectations in every way. They took great care of me throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Their outstanding service and dedication to their clients are truly commendable.

One day I came home to find papers taped to my front door. Our mortgage lender issued an Auction date on our property. I had been in touch with Wells Fargo to try and work something out to come current on our payments but in the end, they were no help to say the least. We were waiting weeks to hear back from Wells Fargo. In the meantime, Oak Valley Homes had been sending us text messages to help us avoid being foreclosed on. My wife and I came to the conclusion that keeping the house wasn't financially possible. We met with Oak Valley Homes at our house and at our appointment, they presented us with multiple offers and walked us through how the process would work. Oak Valley Homes helped us deal with the bank, stop the foreclosure, and made us a great offer on the house. They were extremely professional and kept their word on everything they told us. The process was so easy we wish we would have gone with them sooner (it would have saved us a lot of time and stress). If you are facing foreclosure, I highly recommend that you interview Oak Valley Homes. They were great!
