Working with Deborah & Lisa was the best experience….& THE only aspect of our long distance move that went smoothly. In large part, that is because of Deborah’s complete honesty & transparency as well as her thoroughness & communication! The only thing that she could have done to make it any better would have been to actually pack up & move our stuff 🤣 Both Deborah & Lisa were extremely personable, friendly, thoughtful & provided a level of service that you do NOT see in this day & age ! ~ We could not recommend them more

My husband and I worked with Allison at Orchard Reality on our recent land purchase. It was our first home buying experience, and she made it as seamless as possible! Her wealth of knowledge made us confident that we got what we wanted throughout the process. We would highly recommend working with her!

I so appreciate a job well done and wouldn’t hesitate to use or recommend Allison Petross, whether you’re buying or selling in the Julian area. She is very knowledgeable, took care of all the details and inspections and was great at keeping me informed. I’m 14 hours away and couldn’t have sold the house without her help. I’m very impressed at her professionalism when dealing with a very high conflict, uncooperative occupant. She still managed a job well done despite all the obstacles presented during this time. I’m sure most in her position would not have persevered and I appreciate all she was able to accomplish. She even had a housekeeping crew at the ready to clean the house and make it presentable to the new owners.

Erika was very patient and professional guiding me through the paperwork, legalities and complexities of negotiations in completing my house sale. And it all went very smoothly and stress free thanks to her good work, and lots of cups of tea.

I can recommend Erika Wright for anyone looking to buy or sell in Julian. She moved us through the buying process in a very quick timeframe, but we never felt rushed, and she always kept us updated with excellent communication. I can't imagine anyone who has a better pulse of the Julian market. She has also been incredibly helpful in introducing us to trustworthy local contractors to do some work on our new cabin. Thanks for everything Erika!

Deborah and Erika sold my house for a fair price in just a couple days. The whole deal was seamless and convenient. They even supplied me with a flash drive containing all the transaction records. I would use Orchard Realty again for sure.

Erika Wright from Orchard Realty recently helped my wife and I purchase a beautiful piece of land. She was extremely supportive throughout the process and went above and beyond to dig up the information we needed to make a truly informed decision. She was very knowledgeable about the area and made the experience very positive. She walked the property with us virtually on more than one occasion and helped explain nuances about the local area. Our experience couldn't have been better.
