WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE TO SAY
“When the time came for us to take over full-time care for my aging father we knew that we needed an experience realtor, a familiar face and whole lot of good luck to sell two single family homes and purchase a new home that could accommodate our two families under the same roof. As lifelong Ojai residents our family has known Teresa Rooney for more than 25 years, her experience in real estate in The Valley, her kind and compassionate manor, along with the added bonus of working as a team along side her daughter, Amanda Stanworth, made her the perfect choice for us.
“From the very first day we met with Teresa and Amanda they handled our transactions like we were their top priority. We began with describing our needs for our new home, found out the market values for our current homes, then set a budget and began looking at houses. In the meantime Teresa and Amanda got to work offering suggestions for us to stage and set our homes for photos, caravans, open houses and showings. It was a whirlwind of activity, but throughout it all Teresa was there, answering questions, lending a hand, and even taking my dad's barking dogs on a walk while another realtor showed his house! In the end, Teresa found us our dream home, sold both of our other homes and somehow managed to have all three house close escrow on the same day - it was a miracle!”
- Jenna & Bob Herre
“Amanda helped me buy a rental property as part of an exchange for one I sold. She made a daunting process enjoyable, was always patient and pleasant to deal with, was available even when she was on vacation, and went the extra mile in making sure the property I bought was going to work for me. I would definitely use her again!”
- Mickey H.
“Teresa helped me sell two condos and buy my retirement home in Ojai. It took several years to accomplish all these transactions and she was by my side the whole time. A professional all the time. She showed me the house I ultimately purchased THREE times. She knew it was the right one for me. After looking at homes for three years and making two offers on other houses, we came back to the one I bought. When we walked in I said “this is perfect” and she said, “I’ve shown you this one three times!” I was focused on other issues but she knew all along that I would be happiest with this one. Tell her what your real estate plans are and then TRUST HER. She’ll find exactly what you want.”
- Franceen Fallett
“Teresa Rooney and her daughter Amanda were the perfect mix of attention to my needs and experience in the Ojai market. They helped me find a great house, while making the entire process easy and actually fun. They have a very caring and patient manner.”
- Carol Sutton Shaw
“My wife and I could not be happier with the service that Amanda provided. Not only was she friendly, helpful and eager to help us find our home, but since she and her family have decades of real estate experience in the Ojai Valley, there was no question she could not answer and no neighborhood she did not know!
“After bouncing around calling realtors for a few weeks, we connected with Amanda and realized that she was the only realtor we wanted to use going forward. Not only did we quickly find houses on the market that we had not seen before, but we found THE HOUSE for us in just a couple of weeks. After we had our offer accepted, Amanda stayed right there with us in every step of the process from working with lenders to getting inspections scheduled and figuring out all the details of the closing paperwork.”
