In today's world we live in a consumer society-buying, selling, always better, always more, never enough little chance to take root, grow, build and contribute to a community. After 20 years of helping to build a sustainable community in the developing Eastern European countries, I returned home to continue my journey in the village that once nurtured me. It was William Smith who, in 2011, listening to m...

I have interacted with William periodically over several years as I struggled with whether to sell my property in Pacific Grove. After each discussion about current conditions, I would reconsider and let him know that now was not the right time. Given my history of vacillation, I already knew that he possessed endless patience and professionalism, and late in 2018 I finally informed William that I was pr...

Our father, who lived in another part of the state, passed away recently and we needed to take care of his estate which included selling his house. As we had to travel to take care of things while continuing to work full time, the process seemed a daunting task. Not the least of which was getting the house ready to put on the market. We contacted and interviewed several real estate brokers who knew the a...

William contacted us right away to meet and discuss selling our rental. He was very informative and listen to what we wanted and our concerns. We had never sold a house before and had lots of questions. He answered all our questions until we were satisfied. By the time he left, we were not so nervous anymore. I liked that he gave us a few days to think things over. We did call other realtors and met with...

William Smith helped us sort out whether we should sell the house which had significant deferred maintenance issues 'as is' or to fix it up and sell it at market prices. He recommended an extremely capable contractor to undertake the 6 month long repairs. We all worked well together. This was especially important because we don't live on the Monterey Peninsula. Everything worked out and a nice family pur...

William Smith helped us buy our vacation home in Camel. We have dealt with several good agents to buy or sell in the past, but from our experience, William tops them all.

William Smith is head and shoulders above the rest. He is by far, the greatest real estate agent I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I interviewed several agents before I met William.

He knows the area and market better than anyone, he immediately had suggestions and a game plan that made perfect sense. ...

William has lived on the peninsula all his life, so his contacts and knowledge are full and essential. Once we had our house emptied, he took over, getting inspections and repairs underway. He got the word out to fellow realtors who toured during the construction which I believe showed our intent to make the house move in ready. On the day we listed we got a full price cash offer. What more could we ask ...
