Client Testimonials

Preston Beck

Buying in this market is extremely difficult, but April helped us navigate through it. She was responsive, honest, and hard working. She seemed to know everyone and every neighborhood in the areas we were looking. We had lots of questions and she proved to be knowledgeable and honest. If she didn’t know the the answer she had the resources to get it quickly. Not many homes hit the market out here but if it did April was on it. I think we saw almost every house that hit the market here for months which helped us know what we really wanted. This took a lot of patients and April seemed to happy to do it. We finally closed our home thanks to April.

Ashley Malan

April is an amazing real estate agent. Truly she’s the best. She’s responsive, so hard working, organized, and will be there for you every step of the way. It took us over a year to find the right home for our family and she never gave up on us. I could tell that she was always looking out for our best interest and that she truly cared about us. I joked with her that she was my home therapist, because of all the phone calls and time she spent helping me figure out which home to purchase along with answering the ten million other questions and concerns we had. She was always there for us. We loved April and would use her again in a heartbeat if we ever needed to.

Barry Howarth

April was our dream come true! We had only bought a house once before - 28 years ago - so we were complete novices. She really listened to us and honored our list of wants and needs. She took endless time patiently explaining every step of the process, and guided us through the unnerving practice of making offers. She can Facetime you through a house like a professional videographer! (It's important to have your agent walk you through the interior while videoing; not to just look at those "real estate camera" shots on the web.) April has an uncanny knack for estimating what houses will go for, regardless of what they are listed at. She really knows the SLO market. In the end she encouraged us to make a modest offer on a house that we figured was out of our league, and guess what - we got it! April is a delight to work with and a person you will love long after the deal is closed.

Onan Champi

We were fortunate to find the most diligent hardworking realtor in the area. April Dean worked tirelessly for over 4 months to bring our deal to completion. The Champi family is very grateful to April and her Team for an outstanding effort. We would highly recommend her.

Marc Cortez

April was fantastic. Finding the house was easy, but negotiating the deal and managing a challenging buyer negotiation reminded us why we need a professional to do it. She was patient and thoughtful throughout the entire process, and helped us work through some unexpected seller repairs that threatened to kill or significantly slow down the deal. Her network of contractors and helpers was perfect, and she tapped into them quickly to help us close the deal. Sign her up!

Yuliani Sanjaya

April is a great realtor. She is passionate about the job and her expertise guided us in our journey to our dream home. She gave straight forward advise and recommendations. When we needed answers, she just found ways to make things happen. And, she kept us updated throughout the process. From the get go, her negotiation skill was excellent. Also, her responsiveness is just unbelievably high. We always felt that we were her top priority. Thank you so much April for all you did. We are so lucky to have you as your agent!

Molly Stoddard

April is amazing! I recently purchased my first house and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She listened to what I was looking for, offered excellent advice when I requested it, and did a great job negotiating a deal on my house. Though the process could be overwhelming, April was right there with me to provide information and support. I never once felt rushed or pressured; she was so patient with me. She always made me feel like a priority and was very responsive throughout. When it came time to submit offers and negotiate our contract, she really went to bat for me. I can't recommend her enough!

Krhystyne Pablo

I bought my first home with April, and she made the process so easy and relaxed. April is professional, attentive, and readily available. Even though I knew she had a busy schedule, she always made me and my home search a priority. April ensured our safety in a COVID world as well. She helped us find a beautiful Templeton home in our price range in a super competitive market, and we are so happy we had her expertise on our side. She made what I didn’t think was possible a reality. If you’re looking for a home on the central coast, talk to April Dean!

Krista Kiaha

I highly recommend April as your realtor. She did a great job helping us find the right home. Not only is she patient, she is persistent, and works very hard to make sure all the details are taken care of. One especially great quality about April is the time she spent with us. She never rushes, always stays to really talk things through. She is an excellent communicator and helps keep things on track. She never leaves you waiting or wondering about the next steps, she is always one step ahead. She is extremely professional yet very kind and fun to work with at the same time. She has great relationships with all she works with and can connect you with any of your additional needs as well related to your home. Thanks to April I have a perfect home now!

Trevor Thorsen

April made my entire house purchasing process easy. She is professional, friendly, communicative, and willing to put the time in to make sure you walk away with a house you love. Other real estate agents can sometimes be pushy or flakey, however April remained responsive to all of my opinions as we narrowed down what house was right for me. Additionally she will be straightforward and honest if she believes a certain place might not be a good pick. Once you do pick a place, April will ensure you are well represented and get you the best possible deal. Overall, if you are looking to buy or sell a house, working with April should be your go-to choice.

Natalie Callnon

April Dean made our house buying experience as smooth as possible in a challenging market. She is patient, even-keeled and most importantly, found us our ideal home. April’s knowledge and expertise was evident throughout the whole process and I have since referred her to several friends.

Christine S.

My family just relocated from FL to CA. Our realtor from FL researched some realtors and gave us a short list to help is find one. We talked to two on the list and once I talked to April I was convinced she would be a great choice and I was not disappointed. April listened to both my wishlist and concerns. She quickly checked on properties that piqued our interest and gave us additional information on them. Over and over she went to houses for showings for us and walked through houses with us on FaceTime. She helped navigate the buying process smoothly with recommendations of an amazing lender, inspectors, etc. No task or request from us was too big or too small for April’s attention. Hopefully we never move again, but, if we do, we will definitely use April.

Jake Pearl

The only thing scarier and more stressful than selling a home you love, is finding one to buy in San Luis Obispo. Over the last few months, April has helped us do both, and there is no one else I would’ve rather bad in our corner through all the ups and downs. We’ve worked with realtors in the past who seemed more interested in their own payout, or their reputation among other realtors than they were in our experience and success in selling and finding our home. April isn’t one of those. From the very beginning, she tried to get into our heads and understand what we wanted, and she worked tirelessly toward those goals. She walked us through every process, step by step. She would drop whatever she was doing to rush us out to a house the day it hit the market. She put us in touch with countless experts and contractors to make sure we knew everything there was to know about the house we were interested in. She was a true blue member of the team, and I can honestly say that we sold our old house for more, and bought our new house for less, because we had April on our side.

Jeanie K. Smith

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent house-hunting experience with April. She's professional, knowledgeable, extremely experienced, and very congenial. Her local expertise proved invaluable more than once, and we were impressed with how adroitly she guided all our negotiations and explained everything along the way. Result: a beautiful new home! We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell-- a top-notch realtor who will work hard to help you achieve your goals!

Rachele Dickson

I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to April by a friend and I’m so very grateful because she was a perfect fit for me and my family. April possesses amazingly positive energy, making her easy and fun to work with. Being first time home buyers, as well as new to the area, she walked us through each step and explained everything in great detail. It always seemed like we had a text/email recommending properties she thought fit our needs. If we wanted to look at something, she was great in getting us in the door as soon as possible. April truly went above and beyond! We love our home and our real estate agent!

Brian Rober

April is a professional in every sense of the word. She represented my family in a tough time and tough market. It worked out for all parties. April fought hard, was transparent all the way through the transaction, and was always responsive to our calls and requests.

Wendi Bennett

April was fantastic! Personable, professional and knowledgeable. She went above & beyond what was necessary for not only the sale of our home here in San Luis Obispo but also with the closing details for our new home. I would highly recommend her without reservation.

Andrew Elms

April went above and beyond to help us through a long and wide-ranging search. We definitely had a first-class experience with her from beginning to end. We’re very grateful for everything she did—we couldn’t recommend a better Realtor!

Roger Keep

Every time we go to a open house and mention that April is our agent they always say that they know her and that she is a great agent and that we are lucky to have had her as our agent. She keeps us informed on what is new on the market that seems to fit what we are looking for. April is really good at what she does.

April is the most ethical realtor you will ever work with. She genuinely cares for her clients and wants to make sure the process of buying a home is present and rewarding. She works hard at getting you what you are wanting and cares about all of the “details”. She is extremely knowledgeable and respected by all of her fellow agents. You will be in the best hands!
