Why would you go with anyone else? This is who you want working for you! Dustin made our first home buying experience a total pleasure. He was so patient with us and our initial anxieties about home buying. He explained everything clearly, connected us with an absolutely amazing mortgage broker and truly cared about our needs and wants. He earned our full trust and Id recommend him a million times over. Responds quickly and works hard to get you the right house at the right price!

Dustin is kind, knowledgable, professional and SO FAST to respond to emails, texts, and calls. I have worked with Dustin on two home purchases and he made them both positive experiences. He answered all my questions and provided great insight for the home buying process. I could not image working with anyone else. THANK YOU DUSTIN and Upside Real Estate.

We had the pleasure of working with Dustin as first-time homebuyers, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! We found Dustin through personal recommendations from friends and his presence in Chico. From the very beginning, he was warm, friendly, and eager to understand our needs, making sure that we were the right fit to work together.

Although we were fairly informed about the homebuying process, Dustin went above and beyond to explain the new buyers agent rules and what they would mean for us as his clients. He was thorough in making sure we understood every aspect, which made us feel comfortable and confident moving forward. Since we were already preapproved for a loan and had a few homes in mind, we were ready to hit the ground running, and Dustin was right there with us, helping to streamline our search for the perfect home.

Where Dustin really stood out was in his negotiation skills and his ability to point out things we hadn’t considered. While some agents might simply ask what you want to do, Dustin was proactive in providing recommendations and watching out for our best interests. His advice was invaluable during the offer process, ensuring we were always in the best possible position. We were grateful to have someone with his expertise and dedication on our side.

We did face some challenges along the way, like losing out on a home we had fallen in love with due to a mass counter-offer situation. It was disappointing, but Dustin kept us motivated and encouraged us to keep looking. When we found another home that we were excited about, he didn’t miss a beat and quickly got everything in motion for us to make another offer.

Dustin’s support didn’t stop at finding the home; he made the closing process much easier by coordinating inspections, checking in on our progress, and regularly communicating with our lender to ensure everything stayed on track. His attention to detail and commitment to keeping things running smoothly took a lot of the stress off our shoulders.

One of the things that truly sets Dustin apart is his passion for what he does. You can tell that he genuinely loves helping people find their forever homes. His dedication, professionalism, and care for his clients shine through every step of the way. By the end of the process, we felt like we had not only found the perfect home but also made a friend in Dustin.

Buying a home is a big deal, and having someone like Dustin in our corner made all the difference. We are so grateful for his guidance and support, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. He’s the partner you want when making such an important decision!

Dustin with Upside Real Estate is truly the best. I have purchased and sold several homes with Dustin as my agent. He is personable, dependable, and knowledgeable. One characteristic that Dustin possess which is very difficult to find nowadays is Customer Service. He always goes the extra mile to ensure his clients needs are met. He helps with every aspect of the purchase or selling of a home. He is very attentive and gets right back with answers to questions. His team are all extremely reliable also. I highly recommend Dustin and his team at Upside Real Estate.

Dustin & Upside Real Estate are simply amazing! If you're looking for a hard working, honest, ethical Realtor then look no further! From the moment I met Dustin he exhibited vast knowledge of the Chico and surrounding areas real estate. He was not only knowledgeable about the market, he was helpful in a kind and thoughtful manner. He took the time to walk me through and answering all of my questions. I would recommend Dustin and his Team highly for Buying, Selling or investing in Real Estate!

Dustin was amazing! I wish I could give him more than 5 stars! He went over and above to help us sell not only a home, but a parcel of vacant land as well. He got both of them sold quickly and for full asking price. I can't recommend Dustin and his team enough.

We can not recommend Dustin enough! He is hands down the hardest working agent you will find. We recently hired Dustin to help us sell our first home (which he also helped us buy 2 years ago), and purchase a new home. His attention to detail and knowledge of the business helped us to maximize the value we got for our home and helped us find the new home of our dreams. He is so kind, but don’t let that hold you back, he can negotiate with the best of them and will work hard to make sure you get the best deal. I don’t see us wanting to move again, but if we do, we will ABSOLUTELY come back to Dustin.

Dustin has gone above and beyond and is an amazing realtor. We had a unusual property to sell and he made an experience video of our place that he placed on you tube and got so much great response. He sold our property , was there for us with buying a lot and our new home. He puts his clients first and I do not hesitate to refer him.
