"I made an inquiry from another state, and Cindy has been extremely helpful in providing details about various listings and information about the area in general. Of all realtors I have ever communicated with from afar, Cindy has been the most helpful and responsive to my needs. I highly recommend her."

"I have worked with Kennedy & Associates on multiple occasions over the years. In fact, I have bought a property through them that was also being sold by a broker in the firm, and years later, I sold a property through them, which was actually purchased through another broker at Kennedy. All of the brokers I have met from there are great. They are good, honest people and business-like professionals, yet relaxed in a calming way. It is really the place to go for your real estate needs. They own the market up the coast! In particular, I would like to call out the amazing Kristine Thomure, who is a spectacular real estate broker on both the buy and sell side. She is smart, kind, and thorough, and she gives excellent and complete advice. Kristine is always able to remain objective and realistic in the sales and buying process. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else in the area. Once you meet her, you will see what I mean! If you’re looking for a home in the area they cover, call Kennedy & Associates Realty!"

"I'm so glad I decided to go with a local agency and local people. Mary Benton was wonderful. She helped me get into my tiny home here in Gualala, and I am so happy. Going with local folks made all the difference in gaining access to local services, people, and places. Can't recommend them more highly."

"If you have always dreamed of buying a beach house, and have reached the wild and stunning Northern California Coast (Sonoma and Mendocino Counties), I must tell you how much I am grateful for and still treasure the real estate team we bought our house with Patty Bettega and Lisa Hantzsche of Kennedy & Associates Realty in Gualala. Thirteen years ago, I picked agent Patty Bettega off the internet from reviews and reading her profile. What a lucky choice! Patty grew up in Gualala and knows this part of the coast intimately. We looked at houses on annual vacations while we were still working for the next twelve years, and she stuck with us until we retired and were ready to purchase our dream home overlooking the ocean, which we did in December 2024. Over these years, I’d browse the various listings, and it seemed like about half the properties on the coast were sold by or with Patty. She has a deep well of knowledge and experience, and the tenacity of a quiet but well-behaved bulldog. As we retired and began looking for property in earnest, she introduced us to her partner, Lisa Hantzsche, who is another hard-working and equally trustworthy, and personable agent. They both have the patience of saints and are always a pleasure to be around. The two of them guided us through the many steps, negotiations, and the ever more complicated buying process beautifully. They communicated effectively and often, and had solutions for any issues that came up. Issues do come up, and they have been there, done that. Throughout the process, they made sure we were well taken care of, and they were always easygoing and unruffled. They call Kennedy & Associates' office in the center of town their home away from home. I am writing this at our new beach house, listening to the waves and watching the surf roll in, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks, Patty and Lisa!"

"My husband and I recently purchased a home in Gualala. Patty Bettega was her agent, and to say she was a wonderful representative for us would be a Gross understatement. She was fantastic. Patty went out of her way to make sure we were well informed every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable not only about real estate in the entire area, including the inspectors, contractors, professionals, etc., but also to help us with the process. She has a great attitude and is willing to go that extra mile for her clients. We highly recommend Patty to assist you in your real estate transaction."

"Kristine Thomure at Kennedy Associates was a pleasure to work with as she helped my wife and I find the perfect home in the Sea Ranch. Kristine is very familiar with the nuances of each area of Sea Ranch and the corks of the area having lived and worked in real estate there for many years she quickly understood the type of film that we were interested in not just in terms of size and location or number of rooms, but also in terms of style and feel we could only visit on weekends but she always found time to show us properties. We found a home we loved. She helped us pick a price that just barely beat out five other offers. She's very easy to work with and also has good working relationships with other realtors in the area, which made the escrow process go smoothly. I highly recommend working with Kristine if you're looking to buy or sell property in the area. I would give 10 stars if I could for Kristine Thomure at Kennedy Associates. She has incredible knowledge about the Sea Ranch and the surrounding areas. Her knowledge about available properties and the inner workings of real estate was invaluable. My situation was quite complex, and she grabbed the full picture and stuck with me through thick and if you want true blue, Kristine is the one for you!"

Thank you again for your help and the attention to making all of the details very easy to handle."

"We first met Cindy Kennedy and her staff in 2005 when we began our search for a Sea Ranch home. Although our search was often interrupted by life's events, Cindy and her associate Mary Benton were always patient and supportive. When we finally found the right house, the diligence and perseverance of Kennedy & Associates closed our purchase in a timely way. Thank you, Kennedy & Associates!"

"Quality service before and after we found our home! We had been looking for a home in the Sea Ranch for some time and ultimately met Jeff through a recommendation. He was able to find us a great home in short order and provide quality service throughout the purchase. Jeff continues to follow through with great service even after the sale by making sure we are settled in and have everything that we need. Jeff has been an excellent resource for a multitude of things relating to the Sea Ranch way of life. We appreciate his great service and friendship."

"During the pandemic, we visited The Sea Ranch and instantly fell in love. We enlisted Julie Webster and Kennedy & Associates to help us find the perfect home for our family, and boy, did she deliver. From the first time we met, Julie felt like part of our family and immediately understood what our priorities were. With her understanding of the market and the community, she found us the perfect home that we plan to make memories in and pass down for generations. Not only that, but she has gone out of her way to introduce us to the community and make sure we are welcomed in our new surroundings. We can't recommend Julie and the team at Kennedy enough for anyone considering a full-time or part-time move to the area."

"Our move to the coast was easy, thanks to Kennedy & Associates! We embarked on a road trip searching for our new home in Northern California to escape the congestion of the San Diego area. On the last day of our trip, we met with Patty and Lisa, and they almost instantly found us our new home in Gualala. Patty and Lisa coordinated inspections and repairs while we were back in Southern California and introduced us to the local community. It was by far the best experience we've ever had with a realtor."
