Success Stories
Here is what our loyal clients have to say about working with KB Properties.
"Can't thank Chelsea and Adam enough for helping us find our home. After 10 years in SF, and the last couple years looking for homes around East Bay and Wine Country only to be continually disappointed and disheartened, this February that all changed. On a Sunday night we found the house we had been looking for, found Chelsea and Adam on Monday, saw the home on Wednesday, and had everything wrapped up by the following Monday. We saw 2 houses with them, 1 that was pre-listing, and 1 that turned into our home, and we closed on an accelerated timeline with some concessions from the seller. They were amazing coaches and advocates, they are a part of the community, they made us feel at home and, they got us a home. We can't recommend them enough."
“Buying my first house-and doing so amid the endless chaos of everything that was 2020, wow, what a wild ride! Surprises around every corner. But Adam and Chelsea stuck with me, going above and beyond, helping me navigate the whole process from beginning to end. When things got tough, it felt like we were one team. And boy, did I need the backup! Today, I’m nesting into my first home and couldn’t be happier.”
“… When we finally found the home that we had to have they negotiated for us to get the best possible deal…”
"Chelsea really went the extra mile for us, and respected a difficult set of wishes and criteria, in an even more challenging market. She is a master multi-tasker and always responded promptly and personally. She is down-to-earth, savvy, and money smart when it comes to negotiations, and wielded the appropriate social grease when necessary with potential sellers (even when we forgot to)! Chelsea could run for office! It took a lot of patience to take our case, and she ended up sticking it out. Chelsea went as far as finding us plumbing contacts and floor people, who could jump right in on our move-in schedule, giving us a few rescues. She left us with gifts she didn’t have to, among them sending a portion of the commission to a non-profit of our choice. This was truly a learning process and we needed the support! We really felt like we got the best realtor in the county!”
"Gaelen was absolutely amazing to work with. He listened to our likes and dislikes. He was so patient with us and we could really tell he had our best interest at heart. He is very knowledgeable and his advice was invaluable and he made what can sometimes be a stressful process, easy and fun. Would 100% recommend Gaelen to my friends and family."
“…He (Adam) was very educated with the detailed process of purchasing a foreclosed home. Thank you for your professionalism, efficiency, and friendliness throughout the transaction…”
“Chelsea and Adam were absolutely fantastic through the whole process of selling our deceased father’s house. As first-time sellers going through an emotional sale, we needed more support than your average sellers. My sister and I immediately felt like we could trust Chelsea and Adam because of how well they explained all the steps that go into selling a house and their plan for selling ours, and because of their kindness and sensitivity. They are true Sebastopolians and clearly knew the area and market well. They gave us ambitious but realistic estimates of how much they thought the house would sell for, and Chelsea showed us (in person!) many of the comparable properties on the market. Chelsea went above and beyond helping us clear out the house so that the only hard part was saying goodbye to a home we knew would be loved. At the end of it all, we couldn’t be happier with the process. Chelsea and Adam are both wonderful people, talented agents, and we highly recommend them, as clients and as new friends.”
"Gaelen was an excellent support and calm presence in a pressured time. Being 7 months pregnant, selling a home and having to find a new home before the baby came was a lot for everyone. He managed to find us a variety of homes to look at in a short period of time and eventually found us a perfect home, in a great neighborhood, for our growing family."
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chelsea on a couple of different property listings as a stager and have always been super impressed with her work ethic, knowledge, and communication skills. All of the properties we have worked on together went into contract in just 2 days (literally 2 days) and her clients are always super impressed and happy with the outcome. Chelsea is kind, courteous, and always a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend KB Properties to close friends and family any day!"
"We recently worked with Chelsea and Adam from KB Properties to purchase our 1st home. The entire experience was overwhelmingly positive.
Chelsea has incredible knowledge of the various cities and neighborhoods within Sonoma County. We enjoyed exploring new neighborhoods and locations with her. On top of all the stress of purchasing a new home, we had a baby on the way which made for a tight deadline. Chelsea kept it fun and helped us to find a perfect home for our growing family. We couldn’t be happier with our home."
Such a great experience, we highly recommend KB Properties!
“I could not be happier with KB Properties and my real estate agent Chelsea Wiecek. I have both listed and bought properties through Chelsea and she is truly knowledgeable and organized. This was my first time buying a property on my own and Chelsea made the transaction smooth and easy. Chelsea walked me through every step, answered every question and concern with true professionalism and human understanding.
Chelsea listened to me and was great with returning phone calls, texts and email communication whichever was more efficient for my busy schedule. I never felt pressured or rushed during the various stages of the home purchase. My most impressed part about Chelsea is that she left me feeling like I was always her top priority.”
Michelle and Zach were searching for a home for their family in Sebastopol. They had been looking for over a year. Chelsea worked very closely with Michelle, guiding and mentoring her through the long process. When the right property came along, Chelsea helped Michelle and Zach secure the home of their dreams.
“Finding the right house, as it turns out, is a very emotionally draining process. If you are lucky you will be mentored and guided through the journey by someone as honest, industrious, experienced and lovely as Chelsea Wiecek. If you are blessed with the opportunity to work with Chelsea, you will also be rewarded with THE house. The house you were meant to find all along, the one you were always hoping for, no compromises, no lowered expectations.
My family spent over a year house hunting with Chelsea, often with our children in tow, and she never tired of working on our behalf. She also often deftly entertained our kids so we could walk without distraction through potential acquisitions. During the last year my family was hunting for property the real estate market was brutal. The inventory was minimal and it was not unusual for there to be 12 offers on a house, sometimes 100% cash, and always way over asking price. In this type of financial climate, your only hope of getting the house you want is to align yourself with someone who is willing to fight for you but also has the professional integrity and finesse that Chelsea does. Before we went into escrow on our house, the seller’s agent blatantly told me that she was impressed with Chelsea’s friendly diligence.
I learned a lot about the real estate game over the last year and perhaps the greatest lesson of them all is that it really matters who you pick to represent your family. Agents want to work with other agents that are true to their word and can serve as reliable and intelligent liaisons to help the escrow process go smoothly. Chelsea helped represent our interests with impeccable manners and as a result the buyers and sellers have exchanged some lovely cards in earnest appreciation of one another. Money can really bring out the worst in a lot of people, but Chelsea knows how to get the job done and remain polite in the pursuit. I really appreciated that about her. She also really values her family and that transfers over into genuine joy for others who find the perfect house for their own family to live in together in and build their dreams from.
I should also highlight that Chelsea and her partner Adam donate 5% of their commission profits to a charity of your choice and as a result I was able to donate to my children’s school. It’s just that sort of commitment to the community that makes KB properties really stand out in what can feel like a cut throat environment. My 7 year old says, "Thank you Chelsea for helping us find such a nice house to live in!” and she’s the toughest customer I’ve ever met!”
