We've been working with Doug Toby for a couple of years now. He has helped us buy several homes in Seaside as primary residence and as investment properties. Doug is great at figuring out what you like, has the stamina to show you as many houses as you need, and give you his honest professional opinion about them. In addition, in this climate of foreclosures and short sales, it is important to have someone with the experience he has to help in navigating through the process. We highly recommend Doug to anyone and will continue working with him.

"If you are reading this testimonial and in need of a real estate professional then look no further! Doug Toby is absolutely fabulous. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with Doug's professionalism and expertise. Doug goes above and beyond his duties as an agent. He treats his clients like family and ensures every minute detail is handled professionally and with vigor. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not choosing Doug Toby as your real estate professional."

Doug helped my husband and I buy our first home. We were like a deer in headlights and he helped us through every step of the way. Although we thought we were in the passive stage of browsing the market, he took an entire day to show us various neighborhoods often giving his expert advice of what we should do in the coming months. But, then he showed us the house that we ended up buying and closing within 40 days. He kept an open line of communication, referred us to great vendors as needed and explained everything to us every step of the way. Additionally, he received high praise from the seller's agent saying that Doug was the reason we got the house (there were multiple offers). Doug will be your advocate and not miss a single detail. Hiring Doug goes on our top list of best decisions we ever made.

Dear Doug, Just a quick note to thank you for a job well done in representing Frances and myself in regards to the purchase of our home at Carmel Valley Ranch. You've shown yourself to be a true professional in handling every aspect of the transaction. We very much appeciate and were extremely impressed by the knowledge, expertise, promptness, accessibility, attention to detail, and polite accommodation that you exhibited throughout the purchase process. As mentioned to you recently, you have earned the distinction as the professional to whom we would go for any of our real estate needs in the Carmel an Monterey areas, and we would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our family or friends who may have need of a realtor in your area.

It has been a pleasure working with Doug during the sale transaction of my house.

I had met Doug when, by curiosity, I went to see an open house in my neighborhood. I was impressed with the knowledge he had about the area and the statistical information he had to share with the visitors, including myself. He also presented himself in a very professional and educated manner, showing the key features of the property, but not overdoing it.

When I was getting ready to sell my property, I contacted and interviewed few agents and Doug was by far, with very few hours to get ready, the one who presented the material the best and made me feel comfortable about the person who was going to handle the sale of my house.

During the sale process of the house, Doug always explained to me in detail all the necessary steps that we had to go through as well as the financial consequences and timing of these actions.

He was constantly following up on possible candidates and keeping me posted with the situations. He had all the pertinent marketing material, video, pics, flyers, printed material, etc. prepared in a very professional manner. In addition, due to business reasons, I was overseas for most of the sale period of the property and Doug kept contacting me with updated information. He made the whole process smooth and easy to go through.

He always represented me with loyalty and in the best of my financial interest and he made all the possible efforts and arrangements to have the final transaction closed in the best way.

He is a model of professionalism in real estate. I will definitely work with him again and I highly recommend Doug to my friends and colleagues in the area.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you require further references. Thanks.

Dear Doug ,

We simply want to say "thank you" for being the propfessional, efficient, patient, courteous (sounds like the boy scout creed!) and kind and outstanding individual that you proved to be as we all waded through this home buying venture together. We could not be more content in our circumstances and your abilities and willingness to be a person of excellence was such a major ingredient in this home buying process...it has been a pleasure doing business, as they say, but we really mean it...and may success be yours in all you do. Thank you.
