Bridget is the most thorough agent I've ever worked with. Every single detail was attended to in both the sale of our prior home and the purchase of our new home. She is passionate about making sure her clients get the best experience possible. I'd recommend Bridget to anyone!

Carolyn and Co. at Westgate has been managing my property for over 7 years. Westgate is by far the most complete property management company in the North Bay. She handled everything from tenant screening, applications, interviews, walkthroughs, and rent collection. Another bonus is her knowledge of the local housing market. Her company is very reliable and responsive. I wanted an agency to handle all the behind the scenes stuff and they have done it perfectly. For tenants and landlords alike, I personally recommend Westgate Real Estate.

Overall: Westgate and especially Keri have been stellar in the leasing process! Keri has been very responsive and patient with my questions and requests. I've since recommended them on the local Petaluma Facebook group and to friends who are looking to buy in Petaluma. I found Westgate via a Google search for Petaluma area rentals. I really appreciated they had a YouTube video and a walk-through of the rental especially in these COVID times. I went ahead and applied directly online and heard from them after a couple of days. It was important to me that I was kept in the loop on my application

We sold and and bought our house with West Gate Real Estate almost 20 years ago. Steve Gavriloff was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful back then and still is after all these years. We have called on Steve for advice and for his professional assistance several times through out the years and once again recently. And once again, he assisted without hesitation. The most knowledgeable and honest person in the business. Thank you again.
