				My husband and I were incredibly impressed by Sal Torres and Diane Locke.  There exceptional market knowledge throughout the home-buying process and understanding of market trends and the real estate industry helped us make informed decisions at every stage. We truly felt we had the best realtors guiding us through the process after being in our home of 43 years.  They ensured us we got the best deal on selling and buying a new home where we wii be comfortable and enjoy our retirement.  Thank you both so much.

				We enjoyed working with Joanne throughout the entire process of selling our home. She handled all of the issues with viable solutions while communicating on our behalf to the other teams involved with the sale. Joanne was quick with responses, on time with all appointments and she was a great communicator. We would highly recommend to friends and family.

				JoAnne Emerick is an amazing realtor. She gave us great advice regarding preparing the house for sale, the photographer she used took terrific photos and she helped us set a good price for our house. It sold in less than 30 days and closed even earlier than scheduled! JoAnne worked with us in so many ways to get our house sold. She said that she loves to help sellers through this transition in their lives and she absolutely nailed it! We are extremely satisfied!

				My wife and I recently used JoAnne's services to sell our property in Ontario. She came recommended to us by friends. 
JoAnne was wonderful to work with. She demonstrated a lot of competence in her role of marketing our property. She walked us through her process and her analysis of the comparable properties. She explained her logic in setting the listing price and how she she planned the open houses. JoAnne was one of those wonderful people who matches your commitment. Meaning that when we cleaned she came over and helped us. Her staging was very well done. Immediately after our open house we had two full price offers, indicating she understood the market well and had set our property up correctly. After a short time, we ended up selling our property for full listing price.
I can't recommend her highly enough. She knows what she's doing and will work hard to make sure she meets your expectations.

				I highly recommend Desiree Torres anyone looking for a truly dedicated real estate professional. She recently helped me in renting the perfect apartment, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. She was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

She is patient with us and best of all she checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed for the sale with all of our questions answered. We felt respected and appreciated.

				Sal's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout our property search. We were impressed by the attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to address our concerns. We were able to explore a variety of options, including one that we had not initially considered, thanks to Sal's guidance. The communication was seamless, and we highly recommend Sal for any real estate needs.

				Desiree and Sal helped us get our dream home! We didn’t know much on how to purchase our 1st home, however they helped us with teaching us knowledge and understanding all the fundamentals of home buying. They’ve been with us from the start of our house hunting all the way til we closed! We relied our trust on them and everything was a smooth sailing with them by our side! Once we closed escrow and got our keys, we got greeted with a nice surprise on our doorstep with a gift! ?? Thanks to Desiree and Sal for having patience with us! ?? We 200% recommend their services! 10 out of 10!!

				We chose Jo Anne Emerick as our agent firstly because of her friendly personality and ended up with a wonderful agent and a new friend that has a great team.  She helped us in every place there was a need. Jo Anne went over and beyond her role as an agent. We highly recommend her to help you find your new home and or sell the one you have. ??

				Desiree is hands down the greatest realtor to work along side of !My husband and I planned to wait a whole year before looking . We had the good credit and work history , but not the down payment . We still decided to try to see what our options were in the beginning of the year just to have an idea of what we could qualify for at the time . The first couple of homes we viewed ,we instantly fell in love with a cute cabin . Unfortunately a big snow storm buried the community in high levels of ice and snow that delayed the process , I believed we wouldn’t be able to buy at that time after all . Desiree worked hard and diligently to try to get a hold of the listing agent , going above and beyond to see that our offer would be considered and accepted as the community we were looking in had no power or anyway to exit their homes and businesses  . Desiree was there every step of the process and helped answer a lot of first time home buyer questions . I’m glad I reached out and had her expert guidance . Now we are in our dream home !
A year sooner than expected . I will always turn to Desiree for all my real estate inquiries .We found our forever home in the beautiful San Bernardino mountains. Thank you Desiree .

				I heard so many stories about how stressful and intense escrow can be. I found this to be the opposite working with Desiree. She made the entire process from looking for the home, making the offer, the closing, and all the other items in between so smooth. She was so professional and personable on each step taken. She helped me find the dream house for my wife and I. Trust me, work with her if you are looking for a home.

				As a first time buyer I knew very little. I was learning as I go. I strongly recommend having a realtor that will go to bat for you; to ask the questions you do not know to ask or even think of asking. Desiree will do that for you and more! 
I will say this, I let go of my other realtor because of how personable, knowledgeable and supportive of a realtor she was. I felt content (my questions were getting solid answers) when working with her. She always, not only replied to all questions and concerns, she would provide evidence; pictures/screenshots to thoroughly answer any concerns; above and beyond!
My first offer was accepted and now I live in a new build! 100% satisfied with the home buyers process from beginning to end.
Highly recommended.
Thank you Desiree!!!! ??

				Janna McRoy has helped me with TWO home purchases since moving to Idaho, one of which was a very difficult and complicated Contingency Sale in CA, which was needed to close escrow on my Idaho purchase. 
Janna is very knowledgeable and helpful, is always on top of her game, and makes things go smoothly... even when it seems impossible!!.
THANK YOU JANNA. We will definitely entrust you with our next Idaho purchase,
