Farrell Smyth

From the day that Annette Mullen introduced herself to me on the phone, she exuded confidence and genuine joy for what she does to help people re-locate to the Central Coast. She did not disappoint! She and I got to know each other quickly and my trust in her abilities and compassion were affirmed daily. Through each contact whether it be in person, via text, email, or phone, she spent as much as time as needed to guide me through every step of what seemed like an impossible goal: to find a home I would like and be able to afford. Even after losing out to a higher bid on a house I thought was "it," she got busy and kept things moving forward with a whole list of more homes to look at and encouraging words that there was something better. Once we found "the one", she made all of the really hard stuff, such navigating the timeline, paperwork and financing, easy. She took care of me in every way a person in my situation could ever want. She gave of herself beyond anything I would even know to request. So... many many thanks to Annette!! Hard to put in words, but I truly do not believe I could have ever arrived at my "happy ever after home" without her! Annette IS the BEST!! Thank you SO much! more

Pamela Bliss was a great realtor for us. From the first contact we had to the final sale, she was personable and professional. We received all listings that related to our requests in a timely manner. When she showed us the houses, it all went very smoothly and she got a sense of what we wanted immediately. The sale was a bit tricky as we had to go to court for the final decision, Pam was there in every step. The final paperwork couldn't have been made any easier. What a pleasure it has been working with Pam, and we made a new, dear friend with her in Morro Bay. Thank you Farrell Smyth! more

After living in Phoenix, AZ. 32 years, I visited a friend in SLO and met Pam Bliss who introduced me to Chumash Village which has now become my new permanent home! With complete grace, professionalism, patience and enthusiasm, Pam jumped through hoops and did tricks that make Cirque du Soleil look like rank amateurs!!! I could not be more satisfied, grateful, pleased and joyful for the guidance of Pam Bliss!! The world needs more women like her!!! I hope you appreciate her as I do! more

Our experience with Annette was great. She helped us understand the area and then showed us homes in each beach location so that we had a good overview and understanding of the different locations. All in all everything went well and anytime there was an issue she helped us through the process. more

Annette’s support in the process of exploring, finding and purchasing our little house in SLO has been simply phenomenal. Since the first time we met Annette at her office she put me and my wife in a totally comfort position for such stressful, at least for us, process: being some hours driving away from SLO having Annette to help us always ready on phone, text messages and email was key and a peace of mind. Annette has been great in reviewing our needs and what we were looking for, tailor a nice set of researches for us and provide a nice list of possible options: the house we ended up buying was the perfect house for us and we loved it at the first glance. During our previous experiences with real estate agents we got primarily the support for the technicalities related to the purchase of the house, documents and paperwork: Annette’s support went way above and beyond that. Annette’s deep knowledge of the real estate in SLO was extremely valuable when my wife and I identified options, very convenient from the cost point of view, but without knowing details of the neighbors, types of constructions and elements related to the history of the land where the houses were built. Annette knows "every little thing" as far as real estate in SLO and she is extremely knowledgable. Once the house was purchased and escrow completed Annette continued to provide us incredible support by being available to get to the property and to allow access to technicians and workers we needed for some fixes in the property: these are the extra miles we never expected but Annette did for us and we are going to be extremely grateful for what she did for us. We may say that the experience of purchasing our house in SLO ended up extremely well and not only we had a great real estate agent with us who got the perfect house but, at the end, we realized we got a great friend, we will always be thankful of. Thanks Annette! more

Annette did a thorough and competent job as seller's agent for recent (closed Dec 2015) sale of our San Luis Obispo condo. We appeciated her attention to detail in keeping the paperwork up-to-date and ensuring all deadlines were met. When it appeared that our buyer would not get financing, she communicated effectively to ensure that we could get the property back on the market quickly if needed. She also referred us to a cleaner and a handyman who both performed on time and at reasonable cost. We will refer anyone who asks to Annette without hesitation. more

the online portal was great for finding all the homes that hit the market that fit my needs. Pam was always just a text or phone call away! I am out of the area so that made things so much easier. Pam was really familiar with all the different areas I was interested in and knew which parts of town that would not fit my needs. She also has great local contacts for doing things right away & for after sale stuff like painting, landscaping and handyman things. After the sale was completed she is still there helping me get settled in, letting me know of festivals, concerts and where to go to get the best cheese & wine :) I would definitly recommend her. I am sure she will find your next dream home. more

We are a ten unit condo association and have been with Farrell Smyth, Inc since March 2014. We have been very lucky with the coordinator assigned to us. Cinde has been a source of information, guidance with state laws & regulations and more important her availability when contacted. There are many others who work behind the scene that have added to this great experience. Thanks to all! more

About a year ago my husband and I decided to move to San Luis Obispo County. We were attracted to the small real estate office off Santa Rosa Street. As soon as we walked through the front door we knew we had selected the perfect company to handle our decision and we met an extraordinary agent who found us a new home. Pamela Bliss interviewed us to determine our selection criteria, previewed homes and made the undertaking exciting. Pam is very knowledgeable about the array of communities within the county and helped us determine the areas most suitable to our lifestyle. She executed the transaction with the utmost professionalism and her affiliation with industry experts provided us with excellent detailed inspections, required documentation and financing. I highly recommend her as a real estate agent to anyone looking to move into this county more

Great Job by a great agent. Personable, knowledgeable, resourceful, patient, and flexible. The list is really longer than that! Highly Recommended. more

I have nothing but the highest of compliments for Annette. What a dynamic agent, she knows her way around the entire process of buying and selling real estate. Annette took care of everything and was always on task, on time, on point. Annette was always available for questions, concerns, she was always pleasant and really took the time with us to explain things we were not familiar with. Annette made selling our house less stressful. Annette is very professional, smart, witty, and we felt like we had Excellent representation. She is Awesome! more

Each time we walk in the door of our home in Baywood Park, we fall in love all over again. A special thanks to our realtor, Pamela Bliss, for helping us find the perfect place. My husband and I wanted a small vacation home for our family within a few hours drive from the Los Angeles area. We love the Central Coast area and friends who had already purchased a home in Los Osos suggested we contact Pamela Bliss. After viewing several homes, Pam took us to a place that just came on the market that morning. We made an offer the same day. Pam guided us through all our paperwork and was always available for our questions by phone and email, even helping us find contractors to paint, fix stuff and make our new place feel like home. A great asset when you live 200 miles away like we do. Thank you Pam, you're the best! more

Very good service and nice people. I was running a day late for my payment and I communicated with them I was paid the next day and I got a one day extension with no FEE... I really appreciated the understanding and because of their understanding I suggest using these friendly people. Take a look at their competition.. YIKES! more

I am so grateful to Annette for holding my hand through the whole home-buying process in San Luis Obispo. From the day I landed here for my job interview in July 2014 to when I closed on my home in November 2014, she has been my friend and guide. Even before I moved here in September, Annette had started to find houses that met my criteria. And as my criteria evolved, so did her search. She never once lost her cool and composure while I would panic or change my mind. Her warm and personable demeanor is what every realtor should strive for! I was juggling a million things with my move from Texas to California and the new job. Annette took the stress out of buying a home here. Her intelligence, phenomenal work ethic, and experience come through in each conversation I've had with her. With her help, I was able to sell a home in New York, sell a home in Texas, and buy my dream home here in San Luis Obispo all in 2 months!!! I honestly don't know how many other people would be able to pull more

Janet, you guys are simply the best at running HOA'S! We deal with a bunch of other companies through our property management at Comet Realty, and your reports are the easiest to read, and most complete by far! The best thing that ever happened to the Nipomo Village Homeowners Association was when Farrell Smyth took over the HOA! more

Thank you for all of your help and knowledge during our first home purchase. Pam was on top of everything throughout the process and helped us feel comfortable knowing that everything was on-track and time-sensitive documents were complete. We appreciated having an agent that was forthcoming with information, straight forward, and extremely dependable. It was comforting to know that any questions we had would be answered. Thanks again for everything! more

Annette did an AWESOME job selling our house! She is very detailed in everything she does. I always felt that I was number one as a customer. She was very attentive to my needs. She is a wealth of knowlege and I enjoyed working with her. I recommended her during my house selling process and I will recommend her again. more

I had a great experience with Farrell Smyth, specifically Kyrie. We had been looking for a place for months that was within our price range and within a few miles of campus, and within a week of submitting our application, we had already signed the lease for the property we wanted! more

We worked exclusively with Pamela Bliss over the past three months. She is very competent and thorough, as well as being easy to work with. Pam works well with the other professionals both within and without Farrell Smyth and gave excellent referrals for real estate related resources within the community. All properties were well researched with documentation and comparisons. She was very available, and always returns texts/phone calls. Her preparation, understanding of the market and oversight made researching and buying property a painless process. more
