- Joel Sanders

"Vanetta Hale is by far the most attentive relator I have ever worked with. I have bought and sold multiple properties within Nevada County since the late 1990's, and I have never been as satisfied with the customer service I have received as I was with Vanetta. 10 Stars from me.... Honest, Caring, and always available to answer questions, not only did she protect my investment and rights by being 100% on top of all the contingencies, She is informative, professional and always on task. I was so thankful to have her on my team as I searched one more time for a property that was "THE ONE." She made sure that my needs were met with location, timing, demands, and inspections. She is extremely in the know of how to handle transactions across the board, and was always there when I needed advice. I do not know how I could have ever made it through the sale without her. I will forever recommend Vanetta to all my friends and family through their realestate missions. She is a gem in rough place when it comes to great service ion our area... Nevada County, Yuba County, We are lucky to have her as a communicative life line to our property sales and purchases.... LOVE to Vanetta Hale! She is the BEST!"

"After having our home up for sale for nearly a month with only one call and no showings, we decided to give Vanetta a call and hire her to help us sell our home. She was quick to respond and within a week our home was back on the market and within 3 days we had multiple above asking offers! Vanetta made the whole process run smoothly. She took great care in making sure everyone was happy and treated fairly. She was professional, fought hard for us and did a lot of extras to make sure our home was presented in the most desirable way possible. We are building a new home which was pushed back and Vanetta worked out a 3month escrow for us so we would not have to worry about where we would live until our home was ready. We highly recommend Vanetta, she will not disappoint!"

- Yavette Kersey

"This very stressful experience was made much less so by Vanetta. She had excellent communication with us, and always got back to us right away. She is friendly, personable, and a great listener. Whenever we had an issue, she was confident in the right thing to do, and it worked out every time. I wish we could have beamed her where we were purchasing our new home, so that she could have represented us with that too! :)"

- Linda A.

"Vanetta provided exceptional service to ensure the closing of our home. Vanetta's expertise in real estate transactions enabled a smooth sale of our home. We would personally like to thank Vanetta and her Team for their professionalism and support."

- Browns Valley Mathews

"I've been buying and selling real estate for 35 years, have significant experience with many realtors, and based thereon would recommend Vanetta without reservation to anyone buying or selling a home. Vanetta was diligent, professional, patient and motivated throughout two escrows that fell apart (through no fault of hers) right through the third that closed."

- Grestone Fiduciary Services

"Vanetta Hale was so awesome and such a pleasure to deal with. My wife and I felt so lucky to have had such an understanding and compassionate agent looking out for our best interest. She is so personable and accessible, even during the Holidays, she was always attentive to our needs. I hope to have several family members and friends from the Bay Area look into buying property in Lake Wildwood and I am definitely going to recommend Vanetta Hale to them."

- Omar Barraza

"Vanetta Hale was such a pleasure to work with and became more of a friend along the way! She knew our needs, made time for us, even with our difficult schedule to show us homes, and communicated well with us through the process of purchasing our dream vacation home. Her kind demeanor really helped make this a pleasant experience. I will highly recommend Vanetta to anyone searching for a home in Nevada County! She went above and beyond to make this happen for us!"

"Vanetta Hale is awesome. She did everything exactly how I needed it to be handled. I needed a property at a good price fast and to exacting specs and she nailed it quickly. It is a troubling time for me and she supported me in every way and has become a good friend."

- Jeff Brewer

"To my friend and neighbor, thank you so much for all your help. Without you I couldn't have done it."

- Evelyn Bish

"Vanetta was able to quickly determine what we were looking for and sought other real estate professional to find us just the right house on the lake. We were thrilled with her help and service!"

- Tom and Lynn

"Vanetta Hale was very helpful. She listened and cared about our needs as a buyer and our family. She really is the best! Could not have done better! Don't recall her name, but we were in the Nevada city office and met the office manager and she was kind and helpful. She found the perfect home for us! I will always call Vanetta Hale for any further purchases. I will recommend her to all my family and friends."

- Ray Hostetter

"Vanetta Hale helped me tremendously to successfully sell my home in a timely manner. The home She helped me sell could be considered difficult by some, due to it being a rental for many years. Never did she hesitate or lessen her fortitude to help me sell my house. Always positive, Vanetta's communication, understanding and drive were key elements in selling my home. I never felt pressured or a lack of effort on her end, and I'm glad I chose her as my real estate agent."

- Lucas Weber

"Vanetta was very helpful and made herself available when we needed her. She went above and beyond. We had originally went through an agent at another company and they flaked on us. I connected with Vanetta through a referral and she came out to our house within hours and took pictures! She is a rock star!! Our home was put on the market in two days and four days after that we accepted a full price offer! We sold our home and bought a new one through Vanetta at the same time. They even closed on the same day. It was tough and stressful but Vanetta was there with us through it all. She is awesome!"

- Kelly and Brandon Iott

"We had been looking for a place to retire for 3 years. During that time we had the opportunity to deal with many different real estate agents from several different companies in different cities. Investigating Grass Valley, CA was a trying, dubious venture as it was so far from anywhere we were familiar with and we didn't know a single soul here. From our first meeting with Vanetta we felt a warm connection to the area. Her first impression is one of style, grace and enthusiasm. As our host, she immediately gained our confidence presenting details of the area that we would not have thought to ask about ourselves. We felt well informed - and it was fun. She infused a lively atmosphere into what could have been a chore. From our first visit we fell in love with Grass Valley and we attribute much of that to Vanetta's high-spirited, knowledgeable introduction. We scored!!!"

- Phil and Laura Jacobson

"This property had many problems and was not easy to market, but Vanetta Hale did an outstanding job of assisting us in selling same."

- Jerry & Virginia Fairfield

"To Whom it May Concern, I would highly recommend Vanetta Hale as realtor. She was professional and always available night and day for any questions or concerns we had. We felt like we were her only clients. We were from out of town and she went out of her way to show us not only available homes in the area, but options we had not thought of. She listens well and was attentive to our needs, never pressuring us. She handled several tough situations with our sellers and negotiated each situation professionally. She is extremely friendly, but don't let that fool you, she knows her job! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with her as our realtor. She is easy to work with, very loyal and I consider her a friend."

- Melissa McCarthy

"I wanted to work with the listing agent and Vanetta was very responsive to my initial emails and phone calls right from the beginning. Vanetta helped address concerns unearthed during the land purchase. I was concerned about my ability to gain home owners insurance that would cover all of the following criterior: 1.) log home build, 2.) off grid solar system, 3.) in a very high fire zone. Vanetta was able to draw from prior experience and connect me to a home insurer who can accommodate my needs when the time is right. Vanetta was also able to connect me to one of her previous clients who have a similar situation to my plans. It was through connection to this reference where I was able to feel comfortable with an off grid solar system. Vanetta connected me to some of my new neighbors - now I have friends in the neighborhood making my transition as the new person on the block easier. She also helped me gain access to my new neighbors phone numbers so I can gain access to the associations in my new rural neighborhood. Kali B and Eric Hatch assisted Vanetta and together, everyone pulled through making a very strong team I could depend on - especially in the "hurry up moments" of the transaction."

- Lauren Van Dyke

"Vanetta Hale was very knowledgeable about the area which helped in our home selection. She is a professional and her attention to detail made the process move along smoothly from offer to close. Thank you Vanetta you were great to work with!"

- Vicki and Alyssa

"To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Vanetta Hale as a Realtor. Throughout the entire process Vanetta was professional, conscientious, and motivated. I always felt as though I was her only client. Initially we were uncertain of the asking price, but Vanetta diligently checked multiple sources to Verify that our pricing was accurate and met my goal of selling the Land within a certain timeframe. Negotiations with the buyer was very difficult. I am confident that the reason we were able to keep negotiations on track with a very demanding buyer was due to her expertise. We really appreciated Vanetta's calm reassurance and expert advice throughout the entire process. Vanetta was the outstanding professional we were looking for and having her work with us made a nerve-wracking negotiation a wonderful success! I would be delighted to answer any specific questions regarding Vannetta's performance."
