Real Estate

Nancy S.

My family and I cannot thank Steve enough for all their efforts. As the Trustee and legal owner of my Mother's property, I went through many hurdles over a long period of time preparing for the sale of our family home. They both were committed to this process 110%. The rental process and the ultimate sale of my Mother's home were successful thanks to them both! They were great coaches and ensured the "right and legal" thing was always a priority. Because of their knowledge and hard work, we had a smooth, quick sale when I decided to place the house on the market in 2016. I will be forever grateful for their patience, professionalism and high level of integrity. I would recommend Westgate Realty to anyone who is looking to rent, sell or buy a property. You will not be disappointed. Wonderful people to work with!

We have worked with Bridget Lyons as a buying and selling agent for two investment property vacant lots. On the buying side, she did a nice job finding properties that matched our criteria and bid what we felt comfortable paying. Our previous agent would try to push us to bid higher and would tell us that our offer would insult the buyer. Bridget would bid what we asked and showed us comparable property purchases for pricing reference. On the selling side, we had multiple offers and sold slightly above asking. She was great at negotiating with the buyer when they tried to change terms at the last minute. Bridget will always be our first choice if we need an agent in the future.

We enlist the services of Westgate whenever we need real estate advice or representation. We purchased properties with the assistance of their agents and then smoothly transitioned into working with the team to find tenants. Our experience has been 100% positive with excellent communication, quick turnaround on action items, and superior knowledge of the local real estate market to help with decision-making. Westgate Real Estate knows Petaluma.

We sold 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 throughout 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.

We chose Westgate Real Estate and agent, Bridget Lyons through a referral from a friend. We are so glad we did. We had to manage the remodeling and sale of our house in Penngrove from Virginia. Bridget was on top of every detail, every step of the way. She was very competent and very pleasant to work with. She was determined to do her best for us and she did. We were well satisfied with the resulting sale. We would definitely choose Bridget again.

Harris W.

I own rental properties in several locations and have used different rental brokers over the years. Simply put, Westgate is one of the best I have had the pleasure to do business with. She was able to find us a fantastic tenant very quickly, likely because Westgate utilizes all the digital and social media connections and diligently screens all applicants. I could not be more satisfied and would highly recommend her.

Emily B.

We were so happy using Steve, owner of Westgate Real Estate, as our Realtor®. He went above and beyond to make the sale process easy for us and gave us a lot of personalized attention. We received multiple above-list offers on our home and an impressive final price. Our only regret was that because we were leaving town we couldn't use him to find our new home. His knowledge of the area is extensive. We recommend Steve highly.

Property Management

Robert W.

Westgate Realty is the best Property Management company we've ever worked with. My wife and I have been homeowners and renters in the past. We moved to Petaluma in 2015 and decided to rent a home before purchasing so we could get to know the town. We ended up renting for 3 years before purchasing the home we rented. Over that time period, we found Westgate's personnel to be courteous, professional and responsive to any of our needs. Their online payment system made rent payments easy. Their online ticketing system also made it easy to report and keep track of any maintenance issues. Whether you are a homeowner who wishes to rent your property or a renter looking for a home, Westgate's the best.

Mary M.

I called multiple property management companies when searching for one to help me list my property. As a tenant myself, I wanted to make sure the company I hired for the property I own had exceptional customer service. I knew after first conversation with Westgate I found a good place. She was so helpful giving me advice and guidance as we prepared our property for a tenant. I never felt rushed and she was always prompt to return a call. I have dealt with multiple property management companies over the years and can say that Westgate is the best.

Tom V.

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.

Leanne M.

Keri made the prospecting process so easy. It can be stressful finding a new home, in a new area. My husband and I looked to relocate to Petaluma from San Jose and it was tough getting up to the area during the midweek. Keri and the entire Westgate team went above and beyond to offer face time tours and provided pre-recorded videos for houses we couldn’t make the open houses for, Safe to say you’re in good hands with Westgate Property Management!
