We recently purchased a foreclosed property from a bank which Ellyn Dembowski represented. As is well known, purchasing a property can be a very stressful experience. Obviously this event is influenced by the listing and selling agent. Despite being stressful, it can be a rather smooth transaction. Unfortunately, ours was far from. Not all of the responsibility falls on the agents shoulders. There's the lender, escrow, notary, and broker to consider as well. Nonetheless, Ellyn's behavior is not what one would expect from someone who?s been in this business as long as she has. If we could describe Ellyn Dembowski in a few words they would be unprofessional, uncooperative, and negligent. She seems to have lost touch with the reason she has this job in the first place. Not just selling homes but selling homes to people. She seems to do very well exploiting foreclosures and making the sale even though our house had a dangerous gas leak. One would think that with the recent PG&E fatal explosion, she?d take a gas leak a little more seriously. Unfortunately, Ellyn's behavior not only reflects poorly on her but on Prudential as well. If we had to do it again, and still wanted our property, we'd request that Prudential find a replacement for Ellyn. Foreclosure properties may or may not be for you but our advice is to definitely think twice before making an offer on an Ellyn Dembowski property. At the end of the day we still got a great house; although it's not because of, but rather, in spite of Ellen Dembowski.

Hope went above and beyond for us. Her care for our priorities and her knowledge about the areas that would meet our needs helped us get a home that was a great fit on all levels. She took so much pride in her work and was nearly as excited as we were to see the deal completed. Hope's integrity and availability with us was superior and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Hope is a highly professional agent with extensive knowledge and experience who is willing to listen to her clients. She showed integrity and patience through both a challenging purchase and a property sale with us.

During the long process of purchasing a home, Hope always made the effort to make herself available and was helpful in answering questions, responding to concerns and following through with requests.

Hope is fantastic; she helped us through a very arduous buying situation and was patient, knowledgeable and didn't pressure us at all. I was told about her by someone recommending an agent and will recommend her to all my friends. She has plenty of empathy for you as you are buying or selling your home.

We have worked with Hope on 2 homes that we have purchased, she is the ultimate professional. We had a great expierence with her and found her to be very knowledeable in a very complex industry. She also has a great attitude and is very helpful with advice. We will use Hope again in the future.

Hope Goss is an efficient, personal agent and truly a pleasure to work with. She has incredible depth of knowledge regarding all sorts of real estate transactions - foreclosures, short sales, etc.. She is easily approachable and tackles any of your concerns, queries or questions in a timely manner. If you are looking to either purchase or sell real estate in Ventura, look no further than Hope.

Hope Goss stood by us during our months-long ordeal of selling our old house and buying a new home. Despite many setbacks, Hope didn't waver in assisting us get the home that was in our price range and in our preferred location. We'd recommend Hope to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, flexible and patient agent. Hope won our business not by the "hard sell" but by tenaciously helping us get the home we wanted for our family.

Hope is absolutely wonderful! She showed us homes in Ventura County off and on for over a year, while we were trying to sell another home in the desert. Her patience, graciousness and tenacity were very much appreciated given our situation. When we finally found a home, the purchase transaction was accurately and quickly closed within the 30-day escrow period. (I must add that she had little or no cooperation from the seller's agent, and probably had to do most of the work herself to close the deal.) Hope is very knowledgeable of Ventura County neighborhoods, and really knows her way around. She is a pleasure to spend time with, and makes the home buying experience practically a breeze!
