Ken Simonds is an outstanding real estate agent! From start to finish, he made the entire process seamless and stress-free. His market knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail were very impressive. He was always available to answer our questions, provided expert guidance, and with his extensive experience was able to negotiate the best deal for both parties involved.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for their perfect mountain home. He is very thorough and goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are completely satisfied.

Ken Simonds was exceptional in all areas of his field. My updates were prompt. His expertise in the entire process was greatly appreciated. We were able to close escrow at lightening speed. Ken is extremely responsive at all business times and many off hour updates just to make sure I was informed. I would refer Ken to anyone I know as he is very professional and genuinely concerned about his clients and giving them his utmost to insure they are comfortable with the transaction in all phases. If you are searching for an agent you need search no longer. Ken will meet your expectations and then some.

Ken was top notch. He was knowledgeable about the local market and priced our home perfectly. We had a few issues as part of the sale and Ken was able to solve them for us. He had the resources and knowledge to deal with each issue. As an out of the area owner I appreciated Ken always being available to tend to our needs. I highly recommend him as an agent!

Ken was great to work with. Since we were part-time residents in the mountains, Ken would arrive to the house ahead of time to prep the house for each showing...turning-on the heat, all the lighting (inside and out) and prepping other features so that every potential buyer could really appreciate the beauty of our home. Thank you Ken!

Ken is a very knowledgeable agent, in terms of the Big Bear area, and real estate in general. He was always quick to respond to any of our questions, he was diligent about keeping us informed throughout the whole process of listing, offers, escrow, and closing. I highly recommend Ken and his assistant Cathy!

My wife and I were blessed to have worked with Ken for the pursuit and purchase of our vacation home in Big Bear Lake. Ken is a delight. He is a long term resident of Big Bear Lake and has a tremendous wealth of knowledge, and he shared all of it with us. His personality is relaxed, and he worked with us at our pace. He greeted us and provided a ground-work on the in's-and-out's of the different regions of Big Bear, qualities and limitations of each, and spent quite a long time assimilating this into a profile that would suit our interests. After learning about us, he developed a plan with many home options and went over them with us via phone and email (as our permanent home is not in BB.), and later, in-person. He provided an in-depth personalized tour of Big Bear Lake, and showed us the advantages of the areas that met our specifications.
We toured a number of homes. Ken is an engineer and has extensive building experience. This is a huge bonus to working with him. Upon each home we visited, he scrutinized details inside and outside the properties, and provided us with individualized professional perceptions of building quality, risks of future repairs, maintenance, expected costs, proximity to ski resorts, lake, shopping, and other necessities. He showed us basic and cosmetic details of the homes that related to value added or wasted in relation to the asked price.
Once we made our decision, Ken helped us develop an appropriate offer, and he worked tirelessly with the sellers' agent. He kept us updated on all of the communications and issues.
We were delighted with the outcome. Ken facilitated options for a trusted lending agent, and that process was seamless as well.
Ken really managed the entire process from start to finish. I believe he must have made over 20 visits to the home to check on it in our absence before, during, and after the inspection. During escrow, when there was a storm and we were on a trip out of state, he called us to let us know he had made visits to the home to check the integrity of the roof for water leaks, the foundation, the electrical, and plumbing, to ensure there were no problems. (There weren't any).
Our escrow was fairly fast, and we enjoyed working with the escrow company he chose in Big Bear as well. He provided us help for utilities and other essentials once we took ownership.
I can say this was the best imaginable experience one can have. I cannot say enough about how terrific Ken is as an honest and transparent real estate agent. We will certainly call upon him in the future for our next Big Bear sale and/or purchase.
