Evan is a passionate real estate agent and this is evident in every aspect of purchasing a home. He helped our son in law and daughter find their dream home and has done the same for us. No detail is too small or too big. He listens intently and follows through with every concern or request. He has contacts to help you address each concern. We are especially grateful with how helpful he was with us while still living in San Francisco and trying to buy in Petaluma.He had a great ability in guiding us through the negotiating process of home buying. If you want an agent that will go above and beyond for you, I heartily recommend Evan! We are very happy with our new home and thankful to have made a new friend in Evan.

We met Evan at an open house he was hosting… my husband and I were just embarking on what turned into a 4-year odyssey to find a country property (and length of time was solely on my husband and I because we were being very picky). I can’t even guess at how many houses we have seen over the 4 years, and Evan was there every step of the way, so patient, knowledgeable, and always encouraging. Country properties are their own kind of special and we were complete novices so we relied on Evan for recommendations and information. And if he didn’t know the answer, he made it his mission to find out. Not only is he incredibly well-informed, he also has an amazing vendor/contractor contact list.During these four years, we also sold two properties with Evan and we never had to worry about any aspect of the sale. He explained the whole process, presented us with different options regarding the sale and gave us solid advice on any situations that arose. We always felt he was our advocate and that we were partners in the process.Well, we finally found our dream property and I’m not sure who is more thrilled – us or Evan. Through this process, a real friendship has developed and that is because of the person he is. We feel so lucky to have visited that particular open house and to have him as our broker. We absolutely could not recommend him more highly!!

Evan is professional, demonstrates integrity, shares his vast knowledge, is calm, is a good communicator and we recommend Evan highly to meet your buying or selling needs. Evan was our guide through the process of purchasing a home in Santa Rosa. It was a journey that began in early September, when we first started looking, and concluded with Evan presenting the keys to our home at the end of the third week in October. Through each phase Evan had the right depth of information to get us looking to the next phase. In the first “location” phase, Evan, with his knowledge of the area made our search more efficient. We started this phase with interest in several cities and narrowed it down to a few neighborhoods. The next “house” phase involved looking at a wide variety of houses and honed in on square footage, lot size, the amount of work that would be required to move-in, and the character of the home. Through this phase Evan was able to keep us out of the weeds and on track providing general information on what might or might not be possible, and comparative sales so we knew if the house of interest was above or below average for the area. Once we identified a home on which we wanted to make an offer, the “logistics” phase kicked in. After our offer was accepted Evan paired us with a very capable and efficient mortgage lender and scheduled all the inspections we requested. This was the most stressful time for us and Evan’s calm demeanor, clear communication and capable nature made it tolerable. Bottom line, Evan got us, with the help of his colleagues, over the obstacles and to the finish line. But really his assistance continues by him continuing to provide resources. We will miss working with him, but given that he contributes to the health of the community through meaningful fundraisers and charitable events we hope to connect with him in a different capacity. Honestly, we could not have asked for a better realtor. And our advice to any buyer or seller is enjoy the journey, be engaged, diligent and good luck.

We would not be in our home without Evan. Evan is extraordinarily responsive, proactive, and a thoughtful problem-solver. We appreciated his thoroughness throughout the home purchase process and were so thankful that we had him on our team. As a former city planner, he had incredible insight into the history of neighborhoods and potential areas to watch for when considering future home projects. From helping us understand the legal ramifications of our various contingency choices, to what elements weigh more heavily in crafting a winning offer, to understanding the backstory of a home, owner, and inspection report- he created a context for us to make informed decisions and ask the right questions in a way we could never have expected entering the home purchase process. Hes a special real estate agent. Hes also a kind, generous, and genuine human being.

5 stars, for sure! We reached out to Evan in January with very specific needs on where we wanted to live and how much space we needed for our family. We just closed on our house two weeks ago and cant help feeling like we got the VIP, white glove treatment from start to finish. This is a very competitive market and Evan was so calm and patient with us, as we had a pretty rough time navigating through everything. He always made himself available, whether it was going to see a house or just hopping on a quick phone call. Wonderful service, a keen eye for the market and positive attitude....what more can you ask for?

Evan Kishineff, realtor at Century 21 Epic in Petaluma, is a “Realtor God.” We’ve bought and sold properties for some 50 years and have had many good agents, but finding Evan was a stroke of incredible good luck. An internet search for top-rated realtors in Sonoma and Marin counties, where the properties were that we were looking to sell, gave us Evan’s name, followed by dynamic reviews and included evidence of his strong social consciousness.When we emailed him at dinnertime on a Friday night we didn’t anticipate his immediate response, a meeting in person early the next morning and a dynamic, original and realistic marketing plan. He was our “man with a plan.”We were impressed by his integrity at all turns, knowledge of the market, ability to make you feel you’re his only clients (which surely we weren’t), and above all, despite some difficult transactions with potential buyers, he was unflappable.He’s a rare find and we remain grateful for this incredible agent.

Evan Kishnieff at Century 21 Bundesen in Petaluma is our realtor saint. He made miracles happen for us! In the 30-some sales and purchases weve done with agents, Evan was clearly the best!As sellers we needed to get our rental property on the market immediately. After scouring the internet for local agents with large numbers of perfect reviews and reading their backgrounds we luckily happened upon Evan. Wed sent him an email Friday night at dinnertime – not normal business hours, but he answered right away. He came to our property early the next morning and we were impressed with his straightforward answers, obvious integrity, internet knowhow and negotiating skills. No hype! No puffery!Once hired he worked diligently at all hours to make the sale succeed despite nearly impossible-to-work-with buyers and a less than capable buyers agent. Due to Evans strategic planning we were able to sell quickly at a price significantly higher than asking. He also always made us feel special, as if we were his only clients, which surely we werent.Jerry and Suzanne Hogsett

Evan is one of the hardest working realtors that we’ve ever met. His dedication to clients is above anything we expected, and we were ultimately able to find an incredible home. Evan is personable, knowledgeable, and an absolute joy to work with during what can be the stressful process of home buying. You are in great hands if you work with him.
