Century 21 Kobetz Realty

Experiencia fantástica: My spouse and I were extremely pleased with our experience with Century 21. We have been looking to buy our first home for over a year. Our initial realtor was Jacob Brown. He helped us learn what to look for, what we wanted, and helped us navigate the hoops of a VA loan. He was so patient with us while we looked for the right home, and never made us feel pressured to make a purchase. Due to unexpected circumstances he passed our search to Ben Kobetz, who ended up being able to help us finalize the process. He guided us through the home buying process, and answered all our questions. He made us feel confident in our choices and advocated for us with all other parties involved. The home buying process can feel overwhelming, and this team of realtors made it much more manageable.

Experiencia fantástica: She was easy and fun to work with on the sale of my house.

Experiencia fantástica: Anela and Ben were absolutely amazing in helping us to purchase our first home. Anela was our agent but Ben stepped in to help out when we wanted to tour homes when Anela wasn't available. They are both very friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and flexible with their time. They listened to what we were looking for and showed us several beautiful homes and properties. If you are on the market to purchase a new home or sell your home, I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Thanks for your patience and assistance finding our new home.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a wonderful experience purchasing a home with the guidance of Anela and Kobetz realty. She helped me everystep of the way and got me my first home.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a wonderful, satisfying experience every step of the way. We highly recommend this realtor.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben Kobetz helped us rehabilitate and sell a problem Property that I acquired in foreclosure. He functioned more or less as a general contractor, well beyond the duties of a realtor. He did a great job. I would hire him again in a minute.

Experiencia negativa: This is an edit to a previous review--I cannot recommend this company, in my experience they are not honest. I gave my listing to my agent & without verbally telling me, she agreed to be the buyers' agent also. When I told her Broker he acted like it was my fault for not seeing her name on the offer & for not understanding that meant she had become a dual agent looking for two commissions. This caused me a lot of stress as I had no one unbiased to talk to. Edit 1 year later & now working with W Realty buying my next house. It's infuriating to see listings for less than I sold my previous house for that clearly state who the buyer is being represented by & who the seller is. My agent from Kobetz represented both without telling me, only had to show my house once & got herself over $30,000 with the 2 commissions. Steve at W Realty is honest.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an exceptional experience working with Kobetz Realty Inc on my recent property transaction. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all my needs throughout the entire process. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. They helped me find the perfect home within my budget Special thanks to Anela for their outstanding support, quick responses, and expert advice.

Experiencia fantástica: Very efficient. Represented us well.

Experiencia fantástica: We worked with Benjamin for 6 months until we found our dream property. He was very easy to talk with, always available for discussions, and understood our goals. His advice through the process was spot on!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben was a responsive to our needs and went out of his way to advocate for us during the search and eventual purchase of our new home.

Experiencia fantástica: Anela was amazing to work with. There where a couple bumps on the road with the seller, but Anela was there every step of the way to help smoth those bumps out. I highly recommend her , you will not regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben and his team did a stellar job with getting our home on the market and getting it sold quickly at a fair market price. He also helped coordinate with our agent in another part of the state to help us purchase and move into another home at the same time. His professionalism and communication through the whole process helped guide us through the entire experience. This was our first time selling a home and my family is glad we went with Kobetz Realty. Local, hardworking, and dedicated to making the client feel at ease. Thanks Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Kobetz Realty, Inc. Benjamin navigated my buying experience with excellence and all virtually while I was states away. It was a true blessing to have not just a realtor but a true advocate with dedication and expertise to find my forever home. I quickly understood and trusted his knowledge and direction and felt his support throughout the entire process.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin walked us gracefully through the home buying process as well as through several properties until we found the perfect place for us.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben’s service in assisting us with our home-buying process was exceptional. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and helped us navigate a difficult buying situation. As out-of-town buyers, we relied on his local knowledge and contacts and were impressed with the result. Our closing process was complex given issues on the seller’s side, and Ben was a tireless advocate on our behalf and helped us navigate to a successful conclusion. We are very appreciative of his support.

Experiencia negativa: Be very very careful hiring Ben. He sign a long contract 1 year. He give u an crazy list price so you go with him. After few months he wants you to drop the price 50k or more. Then if the property doesn’t sell he will end up suing you.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin went above and beyond in the sale of my complicated ranch sale. His expertise, knowledge and above all, negotiations made it all possible. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben did a great job on helping me close the deal. I started calling him to see a property and he turned out right on time, gave details on where we meet and pitfalls to check before even started. Right after seeing the property, he already arranged experienced loan agent to help with pre-approvals. Ben is definitely a local hero in Ukiah, with his connections. my buying experience is super smooth. The inspections are very thorough, and he arranged everything nicely without me worrying a bit. We even did a weed whacking before the inspection. You can see that he definitely pays attention to details. Ben is also an excellent communicator, he kept the communication channel open between us (seller and buyer), so I can ask questions and get prompt responses from the seller about the property. Overall, Ben is the (not one of) best agent I had ever have. I definitely would recommend him to you all future buyers.

Experiencia fantástica: Anela was friendly and so helpful. She guided us through our complicated (multiple owners) situation. We had been trying to sell for quite a while before we were lucky enough to find Anela! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin Kobetz did an excellent job in selling our expensive house on 6 acres. He was always very polite, honest and encouraging. I recommend Benjamin to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben did a wonderful job. We’ve never had a real estate transaction go so smoothly. We sold and closed escrow in two months. He never misses a thing, ever. Great communication and we couldn’t be happier!

Experiencia fantástica: I opened a webpage looking for realtors and found Kobetz Realty. I called the number and Anela Kobetz answer the phone. She was friendly and very personable. I picked her out to be my realtor. She was on time for appointments. She hired a professional photographer to take beautiful pictures of my home. I was trying to buy another mobile home in a different city, and they were requiring all kinds of credit reports and copies of trusts, etc. I didn’t know how to get the reports and trust off of the computer. I am not that computer literate. Anela, even though she’s a very busy person, took the time and spent about 45 minutes running all my credit reports for me, getting the trust off of the computer, and everything sent to the other realtor just for me. It is a very high end realty office. Their offices are beautiful and inviting.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin is a well rounded professional who worked tirelessly to help me sell my home. We just recently closed escrow and he made the process seem almost easy, guiding me along the way. Escrow can be a complicated process and you need to have an agent who is in your corner to aid in navigating it. I would highly recommend you seek out Benjamin to help you sell your home, his knowledge of the market and wisdom of the process is second to no one

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin works hard for his clients and gets the job done!

Experiencia fantástica: Five stars are not enough. We were first time home buyers and buying from out of the area. Benjamin was an incredible resource and guide though the process of buying our first house. He went above and beyond. We felt supported every step of the way because Ben was there to answer our questions and advocate for us with the seller and the bank. He knows all the right inspectors, contractors, and other local vendors. If we ever sell the house we just bought and buy another in the area, we will absolutely seek the services of Benjamin Kobetz.

Experiencia fantástica: Anela was very helpful throughout the process of purchasing my home. She didn't hold up the proceedings in any way and was great at clarifying details when needed. She met with inspectors and provided reports, as my previous home was too far away to meet the inspectors myself. The inspectors she recommended were professional and their reports were clear and concise. Anela provided me with information on what utility companies to contact to start service, which was helpful. She also went to the home to gather extra details like the size of the fridge compartment, so I could purchase the necessary appliances before I moved in.

Experiencia fantástica: When I started this journey of selling my uncles house, I searched the Internet for realtors. I wanted to find one that was close to Willits. I looked at many and for some reason you were the one that stuck out to me above all the others. I’m so glad that happened this process of handling my uncles estate has been one. I had no idea what I was getting into. I must say that the selling of the house was made relatively smooth thanks to Anela and yourself. You guys are very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. The fact that I live four hours away from the house was a worry to me, but you made things quite effortless for us by handling permits and inspections, and referring us to others to help in making the sale possible. Thank you for being understanding for blowing your phone up and in closing I would like to give you a big Thanks and wish your company many years of success . Thanks Kobetz Realty from the estate of Henery F HANSON

Experiencia fantástica: Anela and Ben are an outstanding team. They went above and beyond, to make the sale of our home as easy as possible. They are absolutely wonderful to work with and they kept us informed with all aspects of the sale. If you are selling or buying a home my husband and I would definitely recommend Kobetz Realty.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I were connected with Benjamin after expressing interest in a property online, and from the start it was apparent how invested he was in our success. When that house fell through he had multiple lined up in similar areas and price ranges, walking us through pros and cons of each. He was very helpful with a wealth of knowledge that was priceless to first time home buyers such as my wife and I. Through the entire process he was patient and helpful. Any bumps in the road were quickly relayed to us and then fixed very quickly. I cannot recommend Benjamin and the entire Kobetz team enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Super knowledgeable and honest. Would use again.

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly and helpful

Experiencia fantástica: I just closed/ 'recorded' here in Ukiah with Ben Kobetz (Realty) as my buying agent/broker and he was amazing with expertise and support every step of the way in my search for a home while I've moved here from the east coast. He was fabulous with negotiating final sales price, knowledge of local market, guidance with any/if needed contractors, and offering ongoing support as I settle into my new home. Stellar home buy experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin is professional, knowledgeable, fair, and easy to work with. He made our buying process as streamlined as possible. I highly recommend him for your real estate needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben did an exceptional job helping us! Absolutely no problems and couldn’t be happier . Thanks Ben

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing working with Benjamin. He made things go very smooth on getting our home. I recommend going to him if your on the hunt of buying a house.

Experiencia fantástica: After nearly 2 years of patiently showing me through countless houses all over Mendocino and Sonoma counties, Benjamin skillfully closed on my dream property! He has always been super patient and very willing to show me anything I want no matter how far off the beaten track it is. Always concise and to the point which I appreciate. As a local , he has deep knowledge of the Mendocino and Sonoma area. He also was very good at dealing with all the odd things that come up when you are just about to close (e.g. “What’s that giant pile of trash?!” “How about that broken down vehicle?”) and made sure everything was taken care of. Three cheers for Benjamin Kobetz!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is the man, he helped sell our house and get us into a bigger house. He really went out and beyond to get things done

Experiencia fantástica: This was our first time purchasing a home and Ben walked us through every step the way he is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond in many ways to accommodate us. Thank you Ben for helping to make a dream of ours come true. We will highley recommend you to anyone who is looking to purchse a home or property

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin is a great guy very thorough and very keen on getting the job done I'm glad I was able to find him and have him as my agent great guy thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Ben went above and beyond for us to find our dream home. He has always been available when we needed him. He kept it strait forward the whole process. #1 realtor for Mendocino Co. Thanks Ben.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben was amazing to deal with. He was very at attentive to our needs. Any house we wanted to see he was right on. When we chose a house he took care of everything quickly. Was a smooth process and we 150% recommend working with him on your home buys. Thanks Kobetz Realty for everything.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my third deal completed with Benjamin and every one of them has been spot on. Benjamin is very professional, never has not answered my questions or concerns. My wife and I are always very pleased. We will continue to use Kobetz Realty as should everyone. Thanks Ben

Experiencia fantástica: Kobetz Reality performed every task and made every appointment they said they would. The transaction was a breeze.

Experiencia fantástica: I called regarding a referral for a VA buyer and lots of agents turned it down. Benjamin said he would be happy to help. I appreciate it when agents/Brokers want to help. I know it is a difficult market and could take awhile. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin was a total professional, brokering a somewhat complicated private sale for us. His market knowledge and network were a huge asset while we did due diligence and purchased the property adjacent to our own. We are super grateful to have worked with him.

Experiencia fantástica: Did a great job selling our home! Benjamin put together a marketing/pricing plan for us and his advise was right on point. He helped work through issues with third parties and closed the sale. Very professional. I would use him again and recommend him to others.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin was extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped me secure a competitive price and resolve issues with the property by negotiating some money for me from the seller to cover outstanding repairs.

Experiencia fantástica: I love working with Ben. He works hard to put deals together. When times are lean he'll still be succeeding. Great agent!

Experiencia fantástica: I have purchased 2 houses and sold a house through Ben. Ben is amazing in every way possible. I wouldn't imagine doing business with any one else

Experiencia fantástica: I've worked with Benjamin on two transactions and find him very efficient and most importantly, absolutely trustworthy. He does what he says, and I really appreciate that.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben was great to work with. Very honest and straight forward. Never had a problem getting ahold of him when needed. The house sold fast and if something would have fallen through he had other buyers prepared to purchase the house. I would work with Ben again.

Experiencia negativa: My experience with Kobetz realty began on a good note. I listed my 20 acre property with Ben because his parents are friends of mine. My listing price began at 490 k and within the first month I lowered the price to 365k … this property was a rare 20 acre parcel of flat land in Sherwood Valley north west of Willits. With great water and excellent sun exposure. I paid 300k for the property if February 2021. After purchasing the property I invested 65k in said property ( 40 k in state of the art outback solar system,30 year lithium battery and 15 270 watt solar panels) 5 thousand gallon water tank, water pump, 2 - 10’ by 20’ storage containers and 300’ of 1.5 “ pvc water line. New gate, and 50’by 100’ fenced garden. 40 yards of road base. As well as over 200 hours of labor. In late October Ben presented me with an offer of 340k which I agreed to at which time I made it very clear to Ben that I would only accept the offer if the buyers paid any and all fees related to the sale of my property as I would be losing 25k at that price. Because we were not able to get a positive perk test I lowed the price by another 10k. Now at 330k. I was very adamant about the buyers paying all fees at this price as I was losing 35k at the price ( a loss I could I’ll afford because on September 12th my house and all of my possessions were destroyed in the Hopkins fire ) Ben told me that the buyers had agreed to pay all fees at this price. What Ben neglected to tell me at the time I signed the purchase agreement was the the realtors commission is not considered a fee but rather is a separate fee defined as a commission rather than a fee. When I went to the title company to sign and complete the sale I was surprised to learn that I was to pay 17k in commission fees to both buyers and sellers real estate agents. I call Ben immediately and told him I could not afford to lose another 17k and that he was not clear with me about the difference between a fee and a commission. I asked if we could compromise and either reduce the commission or ask the buyers to split this cost with me. He refused to refused to consider my proposal and told me I was now bound by the contract I had signed and if I did not sing the escrow papers and turn the property over to the buyers I would be going to arbitration. Reluctantly ( as I cannot afford to hire a real estate attorney) I signed the escrow papers and felt the sting of now a 42k loss. I believe that Ben was not clear with me that all fees did not include commission ( which I thought was a fee ) In the end Bens lack of clear communication cost me an addition 17k dollars … moral of the story is always read the fine print and never trust that a realtor has your best interest in mind, they want your money.

Experiencia fantástica: Benjamin was very professional from the beginning and made selling our home seem effortless. We can highly recommend Kobetz Realty.

Experiencia fantástica: We just received the keys to our first home thanks to Benjamin and his wife! Benjamin is very knowledgeable and always available to answer my questions. He met us multiple times to show us homes on short notice and listened to all of our wants and needs. He was our 3rd agent and the only person who actually came through for us when we needed it most. He’s by far one of the best agents in our area and I highly recommend his services. Thank you Kobetz realty!!

Experiencia fantástica: "propper".

Experiencia fantástica: The stars must have been aligned the day Zillow hooked us up with Benjamin. We feel very fortunate to have had him as our agent. Benjamin is proactive, energetic, responsive, knowledgeable and hard-working. He's a clear communicator with an affable personality. He guided us well through the process of inspections and negotiations. We felt very well taken care of by Benjamin.

Experiencia fantástica: Attention to details and making it easy by knowing what to expect and laying out the process is a way that so easy to understand. Ben and Anela are the best !!!

Experiencia fantástica: Short and sweet Ben is awesome! Throughout this very stressful process of searching and buying our dream home he was able to ease our minds multiple times. If you are looking for a very knowledgeable, respectful Broker that will give the extra mile without you asking I highly recommend you give Ben a call!
