What do Clients Say?

Bret, thanks for managing the sale of our custom home and 4 acres in Sebastopol. At first we thought we might have set the price too high but were amazed when we were in escrow within 5 days at full price. Thanks for your negotiating skills and knowing the market place! It was nice to be able to depend on your expertise and helping us navigate all the twists and turns as the process unfolded. We are very happy with the outcome!

Heidi & Jere Jorgensen

Bret was so great to work with. He always responded to our requests immediately, and was able to facilitate our real estate transaction in a very short period of time. We are grateful to Bret for being our eyes and ears since the transaction was taking place while we were on the east coast, including a 1031 transfer, which added complexity to the deal.

Bret is always very professional and friendly. He is very responsive to all questions and knows the area well. I liked the time he took with me when I was trying to decide whether the house we were looking at was the one for me. Whenever I found a house I wanted to see, Bret always made time as soon as he could to show it to me. Most of the other Realtor's know Bret and like him, so he was always to obtain information about a house to help us to write a good solid offer. In this real estate market you need to have a good, responsive Realtor...... I highly recommend Bret Menze. He is a good guy to have working for you!!!

I worked with Bret to purchase a home, and then again a few years later to sell my previous home after I had rented it out in the meantime. It was a pleasure working with him again on the sale of my rental house. I considered other agents before signing a listing agreement with Bret. The main reason I decided to go with him again was because of my past experience with him when I purchased my home. I trusted him to listen to what I wanted and to do his best. I appreciated his advice on preparing the home for sale, the thorough market analysis he prepared and his recommendation on pricing that resulted in two offers within a week of listing the home. He also did a great job in negotiating the price and contingencies on the offer that I ended up accepting. I was very pleased at the low amount of effort from me that it took to complete the sale, and the fact that we went from listing to close of escrow in less than a month!

We wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us buy a home. You spent a lot of time listening to what our needs were and what we wanted in a home, and you were willing to go the extra mile or extra hour if needed. Even if that meant staying at our house until 11:00 pm to draw up an offer. We were truly amazed at how smoothly the whole process went. You understood the process of the 1031 exchange and always had the answers for us. We were truly blessed to have you as our Realtor and we are so thankful for all your hard work. We love our house and couldn't have gotten it without you.

About Bret

Since I first began selling homes in 2002, my business has been guided by one clear principle: Give my customers the attention and service that I would expect as a real estate customer. Check out my reviews and you will see that my clients have used phrases like eager, quick to respond, great care and professionalism, easy to reach, comprehensive knowledge, good listener, generous, expert, patient and honest. Doing my job well and getting this kind of recognition from my buyers and sellers is the thing I love most about being a Realtor!
