Testimonials

Great Job! I got the dream property I wanted. Aneta Black

Relying on an agent to represent you in a real estate transaction is all about trust. The profession sometimes draws “salespeople” that are more interested in their wallets than your needs. There isn’t anyone I would trust more than Will to be my advocate buying real estate, both from a technical perspective in understanding the angles of the “deal” and more importantly, knowing that integrity and helping people are more important to Will than what’s in his wallet.Wade Griffis

Will is the type of real estate consultant that everyone needs: honest, extremely bright, thorough and just a fantastic person. He is passionate about helping people and finding the right fit for his clients. Procuring real estate is a huge financial investment and often times an emotional one. He takes great care in his work and takes the prudent approach to conducting ethical business. I highly recommend him.Sue Schroeder

Will was great to work with. He showed me several homes that were within the parameters of my price point, and only homes with the size and amenities I was looking for.

Will is extremely knowledgeable about all facets of the Big Bear area, and is very involved in the community. I highly recommend Will for your real estate needs.Manuel Gutierrez

Having worked side by side with Will when I lived in Big Bear, he’s my go-to agent for every referral I have. I trust sending my LA based clients to him, because I know they’ll get the same great service from Will that they do when they work with my own team locally.Deanna Wallo-Whipp

I decided to sell my house in Big Bear, so I contacted a few realtors. After looking at Will’s marketing plan to sell my house and his realistic evaluation of the market value of my house, I decided to list my house with Will’s team. Other realtors gave me decent evaluations, but no one had such a strong marketing plan as Will’s team. Within a week after it hit the multiples, I received a strong offer. After brief counter offers the property was put into escrow. …James Evans

What’s The Best Big Bear Neighborhood?

Hamilton Ranch | Big Bear Real Estate

Houses and properties for sale in the Big Bear Real Estate market are diverse. So, what’s the best Big Bear neighborhood? It depends. If you are considering relocation take some time to learn a little more about the different areas. Each location varies and has pros and cons to consider.

The wonderful thing about the Big Bear Valley is that it offers a variety of different types of terrains and neighborhoods to suit any taste. This means you can find everything from level ranch land to lakefront homes framed by a dramatic, boulder-filled environment above the lake.

Newer neighborhoods come with CC&Rs and environmentally friendly designs that include underground utilities. Older neighborhoods tend to be more eclectic but artistic diversity within a neighborhood is part of the charm of this mountain resort community.

Here on the south shore of Big Bear Lake is where you will find most of the services and greater population density. This is great for anyone seeking a retreat where it is easy to access social activities, shopping and to meet others of like interests.

The western area of the north shore offers a more quaint, rustic feel and is perfect for those who are seeking a quieter environment with fewer people and services. Lake access and hiking trails are available throughout the entire valley but lake and forest access is a highlight of this particular area.

If you are seeking to buy a mountain home, it is also important to consider some other preferences. For those who love winding, tree lined roads, a hillside or forest lease cabin might be perfect. But if you seek sunnier neighborhoods that are still near the forest, these can be found in a variety of locations such as Meadowbrook Estates or Hamilton Ranch.

For those who enjoy horseback riding and wide open panoramic scenes, Baldwin Lake might be more to your liking. It is a bit more arid and open than other areas of the valley. In fact, after you search online for properties & houses for sale in Big Bear, consider visiting for a weekend so you can take a tour by car through the different areas of the valley.

This is often a great start to your home buying adventure because you can leisurely take your time to check out the different areas and neighborhoods and see what really appeals to your senses. Viewing the area during the week and during a weekend can show you any activity contrasts within your favorite locations.

Seasonal changes can make a difference to where you might want to buy as well. For instance, some homes have dramatic views and tower over the lake. But if the area is framed by dramatic hillsides and boulders, the roads might be steep and remain shaded longer than other locations in the valley.

In the winter, this means that advanced planning for snow removal for easier property access would be key. Also, if any family members have mobility problems, ease of access through snow and ice might be a consideration to keep in mind as you look.
