    The process of listing and selling your home is complicated and can be daunting. It requires a knowledgeable, professional agent. Shari Bakotich has nearly 30 years of experience, specializing in the east side of the Peninsula, and it shows. She knew the answers to all of many questions and she is very good good at problem solving and communication.

    Before selecting Shari, I interviewed several agents. All were experienced and seemed competent. However, Shari’s marketing strategy and skills set her apart from the rest. I had seen the beautiful brochure she created when she listed and sold my neighbor’s house and my neighbor gave Shari a glowing recommendation. Shari did the same great job on my home’s brochure. The photography, drone pictures and virtual tour were superb and the brochure itself was lovely.

    Shari held multiple open houses and agents’ open houses. Every week she advertised in the LA Times and the Daily Breeze. On Mondays, she sent me a weekly report on showing activity and advertising.

    Shari also understood how hard it was for me to part with my home since it had been the family home for many years. Through this process, she has become a friend.

    Shari Bakotich is professional, caring, honest and very experienced. I highly recommend her.

    We knew of Shari from many years of following her through the advertising she did in the area. We  were impressed by her success and long history of selling homes in the area. When it came time for us to sell our home, she was the first agent we called and hired her on the spot! She was very professional, knowledgeable, and hands-on during he entire process. She walked us through all of the pro’s and con’s of every decision we had to make.

    We are happy to call her not only our real estate agent, but also our friend. Joan and Kenton Watkins

    Shari Bakotich was chosen by us because she has an excellent reputation in the Rancho Palos Verdes area of the Peninsula. She professionally appraised, staged, photographed, and marketed our home; and sold it at an excellent price in a very short time. Her attention to detail, advice, and follow-up are superior to other agents in the area.

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for her compassion, kindness, and patience. Her efforts to go above and beyond to accommodate her clients is remarkable. Her professional real estate knowledge, efficient manner, and honesty are to be admired.

    I thank you Shari, and wish you continued success. May God Bless you. Best wishes,

    I first met Shari back in the early 90’s of which I became her Escrow Officer of choice. I have the opportunity to work with “a lot” of realtors in the South Bay Area, But there is none like her. When it came time for  my husband and I to sell our residence there was no question that Shari would list our home. I’ve had the privilege of being on both sides with her and know that she will go above and beyond the call of duty for her clients. As far as I’m concerned her professionalism cannot be topped and she always has her clients best interest at heart and if anyone would know that it would be me.
