Evan was always patient with us even though we were all over the place and even had to take a break during or search. He provided a high level of customer service the whole time, and I felt I could rely on him and trust him. He always gave us all the information we needed, and then some, which I think helped us make more informed decisions. Evan was even there for us after closing when we ran into some unforeseen issues. He could have done the bare minimum then but instead helped us navigate the situation and come up with solutions the problem.

Even has been an amazing Relator in all aspects.
The communication with us every step of the way. He went above and beyond what a realtor does in our openion. We had to move out of state before the house was sold, Evan was there every step of the way and helped in every way he can to ensure every thing was ready and perfect for the sale and for us to get the best value on the house. He is an honest and genuine person. I believe we couldn't have don't it with out Evan.
We would recommend him to everyone that needs to sell or purchase property.
Evan was an exceptional realtor to have on our side when purchasing our first home. He is thoughtful, patient, knowledgeable, responsive and communicative. He went above and beyond to help and made us feel comfortable throughout from viewings to closing. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
Evan made what could have been a terrible experience into a completely enjoyable one. As buyers, we knew we were entering a seller's market and we absolutely needed Evan's patience and professionalism to guide us through this tricky landscape. He always made us feel like we were his only clients, even though we were not. Buying a house can be a scary time but, with the right agent, it can also be fun and exciting. Evan is that agent!
John and Susan Dove, Rohnert Park, a seller from Santa Rosa, CA
I never have to worry about any aspect of the sale when working with Evan. He explains the whole process, presents me with different options regarding the sale, and gives me solid advice on any situations that arise. I feel like we are partners in the process and I really appreciate that.
My husband and I have been working with Evan for quite awhile now (and length of time is solely on my husband and I because we are being picky), but we feel a true friendship with Evan and that is because of the person that he is. We feel so lucky to have him as our broker.
Evan's attention to detail and knowledge of the whole real estate process is excellent.
We are so glad to have found Evan Kishineff and truly feel we wouldn't have ended up in such a perfect house if it hadn't been for his help. Evan's what you might call a triple threat - he's got tons of knowledge, an honest and approachable personality, and fantastic instincts for the market. As we shopped and narrowed in on finally buying a place, we were amazed at how accurately Evan understood what we were looking for. He was able to lay out all the pros and cons and other considerations when it came to finally putting in an offer. I'm excited to say that we're now unpacking boxes in our dream home. I would 100%, absolutely, recommend Evan to anyone looking for an agent!
June Whitesides, Santa Rosa, a seller from Glen Ellen, CA
As executor of my parents estate, it became my task to sell the family homestead. I was worried about selling during a pandemic, as well as juggling the jobs of keeping my siblings in the loop while paying attention to their varied and sometimes conflicting ideas about how things should be done, while also having sole responsibility for all decisions. There were so many decisions to make as the property was large and the house older with plenty of deferred maintenance.
The best decision I made was to hire Evan Kishineff. He was recommended by one of the top real estate appraisers in the county. I interviewed two other realtors who had glowing recommendations, and have no doubt they each would have done a great job. But Evan was the one who I felt would be the best fit for me as far as communication style. He has a knack for listening and actually hearing what you say, responding with well-considered information (either on-the-spot or after doing research if needed), and then stepping back to allow me my decision process. He is approachable and reachable. I could call or email or text at any time and he always responded promptly, even if to let me know that he was busy at the moment but would get back to me by a certain time. He always did what he said he would do, by or before the promised time.
The fact that Evan has extensive experience with city planning, permits, and zoning was really a plus for me. He also has a great group of people and companies he works with that made the whole experience go so smoothly and as close to painlessly as possible (inspectors, cleaners, haulers, the incredible stager, and the amazing photographer). There were so many times, just after meeting with Evan via phone or Zoom or in person (behind masks and socially distant), that my husband and I would look at each other and say We are so lucky to have found Evan! Theres no way we could have navigated this on our own. Its astounding how much there is to do and know while selling a house. He did so much and made it look so easy. He even did a huge amount of grunt work with us (pulling nails, patching nailholes, helping us haul more than 60 years worth of accumulated stuff out of the house). Then, he was so sweet and understanding when I burst into tears as the last load of stuff was hauled away. Oh yes, about navigating family dynamics Evan even managed to be supportive amidst the turmoil while remaining neutral and unentangled in the drama.
I cant imagine a better person to have helped us not only sell the house, but also to walk us through the complex maze that goes with it.
Claudia & Jeff S. - Petaluma, a buyer from Petaluma, CA
Evan Kishineff guided us through a competitive market, several offers, and successfully buying during a stressful pandemic. While Evan is polite, professional, and communicates effectively and extremely well, what we found crucial in successfully purchasing a home is his comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the Sonoma and Napa County markets. Had we went with a few of his offer recommendations, we would have purchased sooner. However, Evan offered what we were comfortable with offering and ultimately we purchased the house we wanted. We subsequently found out (this review is a bit late) that he was spot on with every recommendation! Evan's financial savvy and negotiating skills are invaluable. He is a pleasure to work with, respected by peers, and the one you want negotiating on your behalf. We strongly recommend Evan Kishineff and hope to work with him again in the future.
Patrick K, Santa Rosa, a buyer from Santa Rosa, CA
I had met Evan years earlier at an open house when I first thought about buying a house, but couldn't yet afford it. When I was finally ready to take the plunge I contacted him again, and he walked me through the whole process. Evan was responsive at all times, and he gave me solid advice that got me the house I wanted at a fair price in just a couple months.
Bob Brooks Hollister Ca., a seller from Santa Rosa, CA
We met Evan Kishineff several years ago at an open house he was hosting. Since that time he has kept in touch with us, letting us know about properties we might be interested in. He has assisted us with both the purchase and sale of a property. Both of these transactions were conducted long distance as we don't live Sonoma County. Evan was always available to answer any questions we had, whether by phone, text or email. He was professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. We will continue to work with Evan and recommend him highly!
Evan is easy to work with and super knowledgeable about Petaluma.
We recommend him to anyone seeking housing in Petaluma.
Arash Mamnoon, Petaluma, a buyer from Petaluma, CA
As first time home buyers, Evan did an outstanding job navigating us through an extremely competitive housing market. He took the time to explain every step of the process, was well prepared, and provided invaluable guidance along the way. We were able to find the perfect home, and without him, it would not have been possible. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.
Being a first time buyer and with little knowledge, I did not know where to start.
Evan Kishineff worked with me with a lot of patience to walk me through every step of buying the house. He is knowledgeable, polite and helpful. He worked hard to get me the answers to all the odd questions I had for him. Even after the closing of escrow he stayed in touch with me to make it a smooth transition into our new house. I will recommend Evan Kishineff to any one looking to buy a house.
Nicole Lincoln and Gregory Cook Napa,, a buyer from Napa, CA
Evan helped walk us through purchasing our first house. The process was not straight forward as there was an old barn on the property that we wanted to convert into an additional dwelling. Without the ability to convert that barn into an ADU, buying the house would not have made sense for us long term. Evan knows the ins and outs of working with the city and helped us navigate their system to find the answers we needed. He spent numerous hours helping us do research at the City offices and was there every step of the way to ask the right questions. Ultimately, I would not have felt comfortable going through this process with anyone else.
Upon winning the bid, which was not easy as there were multiple offers on the house, we uncovered a couple of things Evan had pointed out we might find. They were large issues that needed a lot of thought and attention. Evan stepped in again with research, coordination, inspections and then negotiations with the owner. Finally, we were all able to reach a final agreement that worked for everyone. if we had another agent that wasnt as creative, knowledgeable or diligent, the deal might not have gone through. We are now happily settling into our new home!
I can't recommend Evan enough. Whether its your first house or an investment , Evan will get the job done and shoulder the stress when deadlines, negotiations and research loom. Hell do it in a timely, calm fashion while answering all your questions and being a tireless advocate for your needs.
Evan was an invaluable resource for me during my home purchase and I often relied on his wealth of experience and knowledge. He was always able to give useful answers to my many questions and suggest the best course of action going forward. His attention to detail helped uncover several important issues during the inspection process, like correct property lines. Evan also followed up with the county and potential neighboring construction sites to get all important information. In general, Evan made the whole process smooth for me. I would definitely recommend Evan to any friends and family looking to buy or sell a property.
Great job, advertising, open houses and communication.
Very helpful and responsive
Just a perfect job.
Great job!
Thank you.
Brett Kocher and Puspa Amri, Rohnert, a buyer from Rohnert Park, CA
We felt and feel really good about our experience with Evan Kishineff and Century 21 Bundesen. We asked Evan a lot of questions throughout the process and he had no problems educating us on everything we needed to know. He never seemed either burdened or unsure of himself in attending to our needs as first-time buyers. It just felt good working with Evan! He is a really nice guy, to boot. He also did a great job taking us to see multiple properties before we found the home we were looking for. Finally, when the time came to close our deal, Evan represented us effectively and intelligently, and we ended up with a deal that we were happy with. 2018
It was the best experience. Evan was amazingly patient with us in this home purchases in a difficult market. Evan is knowledgeable and if he did not have an answer to our questions he got them. When we started this journey to purchase our home with another realtor that did not even come close to the personal touch that Evan gave us. I will recommend Evan to all of my friends and family that will be buying and selling. Thank you so much for helping us find our forever home we are in love!! 2018
Adam Garcia and Claire Pelzner, Petaluma, a buyer from Petaluma, CA
As first time home buyers to a new area, we felt at ease having Evan as our realtor. He quickly picked up on our interests and priorities and helped us find the perfect house. 2017
