My Recent Testimonials

“This purchase involved 3 of us, my husband and I and our son, so I'm sure it was a little trickier for Bill to navigate. We felt Bill was on top of everything at all times through our whole search and the purchase of the property. He kept us updated, and responded to all inquiries almost immediately. He couldn't have been more pleasant or easier to work with.”

“Like other agents Bill knew the market, probable posting price, the home-readiness-for-sale needs and made a "to-do" list. with a ready list of pre-approved contractors for haul-away, landscape clean-up, repairs and final touch-up prior to presentation. Bill Gabbert bonuses: - after making the "to-do" list he offered their contact information, would make the appointments, meet them at the house, execute the job and, offered the qualified Century 21 Payment Service. That demonstrated the skill and acuity I needed that valued my time. SIncerely, Paul Praetzel, Petaluma”

I also felt he had a good understanding of what I was looking for. He is quite businesslike and got things done in a timely manner. He was especially helpful with working within the 1031 exchange limits.”

“I have worked with Bill previously and knew him to be knowledgeable in the market, very available and timely. Also, Bill has a wonderful, easygoing personality that reduces client stress to a minimum. Bill set the sale price of the home and that is exactly what it sold for! There were no glitches and both buyer and seller are very happy. Also, I would like to mention Bill’s selfless dedication to our local charity, COTS. I feel that it speaks volumes of the true Bill Gabbert.”

“Bill Gabbert was our agent when my husband and I bought our house in Petaluma in 2008. We liked him very much and thought he did an excellent job at that time, and when it came time to sell that house Bill was the first person I thought of to handle the sale, and I was not disappointed. I would definitely be happy to use his services at any time in the future.”

“He is a deeply compassionate man who cares about people having homes. He wants everyone to have a home and he lives these values. This is why I chose him. He puts people first. Later after I had some interaction with him I realized how easy going and approachable he was and I quickly grew comfortable asking him any kind of question about property and the search for the perfect home. He was always available by phone even late in the evening. Bill was very concerned about me using a friend and neighbor as a selling agent for my home in American Canyon. He did not want me to be getting into a complicated or risky arrangement. He looked up the credentials of this man to make sure of his background. He was protective of me as a consumer giving me appropriate counseling regarding this situation. This was above and beyond the call of duty in his role as my realtor and I deeply appreciate that he did this for me unasked for, on his own. He took away as much stress as humanly possible from the process of negotiation. He explained everything about the inspections and answered all my questions related to them. He didn't miss any details that I know of. Everything went smoothly with the closing process that I know of. He understood my taste in houses both affinities and aversions of our local properties. He understands we the people of Petaluma! I could not recommend Bill Gabbert more highly. I recommend him with enthusiasm and without reservation as a realtor.”

“I first met Bill when I purchased the house in Rohnert Park in 2012. After meeting and getting to know him, I would never consider anyone else. Bill is prompt, professional and genuinely the nicest guy ever. He’s not just my agent, he is now a trusted friend and my mom and I love him. He has been very honest and helpful through the entire process and always answered the phone and also returned calls immediately. There was never a question he didn’t have an answer to. I can’t thank him enough for all the time he spent with us and the genuine care he has in making sure everything was seamless and the right decision for me. From the first time I met him. when purchasing the house he just helped me sell, it was obvious that his communication and negotiation skills were top-notch. He was also patient because I’ve been wanting to sell for over a year and kept changing my mind, and he was great with the last-minute changes, when I wasn’t ready. When my friends are looking to buy or sell a house, there is no other person I would recommend than Bill. You are very fortunate to have him as a member of your team and I’m fortunate to have met him! Thank you. I could not have done it without Bill, that's for sure. He's the BEST!”

“We interviewed six local realtors recommended by friends. It was clear from our first meeting with Bill that he had the knowledge and experience to provide a thorough professional experience. Being the previous owner of a local business, a Rotary member and describing his participation in community agencies and activities convinced us that he could best serve our needs with a knowledge of the local real estate market. Bill's professional experience coupled coupled with the sense of honesty and integrity made us comfortable trusting his suggestions and advice. Mostly our dealings with Bundesen 21 were with Bill Gabbert directly but all of our interactions with the Bundersen staff were very pleasant, friendly and professional. The overall experience with Bill Gabbert was the best we have experienced of all six of our real estate transactions over our forty years together. Bill's professionalism reflects highly on Bundesen 21.”

“Bill Gabbert is a very careful professional and friendly real estate broker. Good listener. Remains always calm and reassuring under pressure. Negotiated very well on our behalf with a hostile seller's broker and sellers. It was a very smooth experience all the way. We appreciate very much Bill's gestures way beyond the call of duty by paying himself some of the expenses the sellers (or their broker) refused to honor when we rented back the house for 10 days at $90.00 /day, between the sale and close of escrow. The house was in horrible condition, dirty and inhabitable and Bill paid for cleaning, 3 days of rent and the removal of debris. Lasting impression of a 'gentleman'.”
