In 2006, my mother, a Hayfork resident, was diagnosed with cancer. We thought she had about a year to live and I was in a hurry to buy a home in Hayfork so I could be with her, and because I wanted to move here from Santa Rosa. A "late bloomer" to the real estate world, I had never purchased a home before and had zero knowledge of the process. Because I needed a real estate agent who would watch out for me as closely as a personal attorney would, I luckily chose Retta at Big Valley Properties. My emotional state was not conducive to watching out for myself in this strange, new territory, but Retta had my back all the way. She pushed for my counter-offer on the property I truly wanted to buy, and she got it. As it turned out, my mother died before we closed escrow. Through the entire process Retta showed incredible compassion for my situation and my emotional state, and I feel like she took care of me just like she would have taken care of a family member. I will always be grateful to Retta for the personal attention, compassion, and integrity she showed me during the process of the purchase of my first home. Less

Retta was great to work with. She and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and highly professional. From the initial showings through closing, she was always available to help and answer questions. I would highly recommend working with her for anyone looking to purchase land or a house in Trinity County.

Retta and the staff at Big Valley Properties were very knowledgeable and really gave it 110% when it came to finding the right home for my family. I would recommend that anyone looking at buying or selling property give Retta a call.
