If you are looking for a home, I highly recommend that you contact Faylen McMurray and allow her to be your agent. My family and I just purchased our first home. Every aspect of our home purchasing experience was new, and we had so many questions, and so many things we did not understand .Faylen was so patient, always available to answer our questions and show us homes, sometimes even at the last minute. Faylen is extremely knowledgeable in her line of work, she was positive and friendly, and went above and beyond to find the perfect home to meet our specific needs. I can't imagine having worked with anyone else! We love our new home, and love Faylen!

Sue & John Weir June 13, 2016

Faylen is great, prompt professional and very attentive. She has been showing us properties for the last year and has the patient of a saint! We have been looking at homes and lands all over lake county and she always greets us with a smile and all the information we need. You will not find a friendlier face than Faylen. When we finally find the right place I have no doubt she will get the deal done for us.

Tracy Donnelly June 13, 2016

Faylen was awesome. She worked her butt off, got us a great deal and was able to close on a short sale in 2 months.

Tiffany & David Montano June 13, 2016

I first saw faylen at a previous house i was selling and have sold.She was looking for her buyer but it was 7:45am. I was surprised with the diligence she had shown for her client. Three months later i hired her as my selling agent on another house. I clearly felt represented,informed on any and everything and refreshingly when she was not available.communications were excellent,honesty superb. The house was sold. I will be using her again.

Michael Walsh June 13, 2016

I was constantly impressed with Faylen who always kept me informed as the negotiations proceeded and always maintained a calm disposition even during the inevitable times when things stalled and the proceedings threatened to fall through. She was also always ready to respond to and deal with any questions I or my business partner had. I would recommend her as an agent for anyone looking for someone who gets things done in a thoroughly professional manner. You rock Faylen McMurray

David Nevraumont June 13, 2016

Faylen is AWESOME. We bought 3 homes this year in HVL and sold one. The home we originally bought for us to live in wasn't our dream home and our dream home wasn't on the market anywhere in HVL. Faylen kept looking even after we moved into the other property and found the home we were looking for. She contacted us immediately when it hit the market and we were in contract 2 days later. We would have missed the sale if she wasn't on the ball because there was a back up from a friend of the sellers for over asking price right after we went into contract. Faylen then listed the house we were moving from and we had multiple offers over asking in the first week. The house closed escrow 40 days after it was listed. I can't say enough about Faylen, we are so thankful to her for making our summer far easier than it could have been.

Andy & Jan Wolf June 13, 2016

Faylen was outstanding throughout the entire process. I sold my home in Pacifica, ca quicker than I thought I would. This forced me to accelerate my search and Faylen showed me numerous properties that were within the parameters I had set for myself. She went above and beyond to make the entire process less stressful on me. I would and have, highly recommend Faylen to everyone looking for properties not only in the Hidden Valley Lake community but the entire Lake County area. I can't begin to thank her enough for making this process easy on me.

John Drago June 13, 2016

Faylen was fantastic throughout the whole selling process. She went out of her way to be available for any questions or concerns I had, she was very responsive to both e-mails and phone calls, and she made sure we were comfortable with every decision that was made (selling price, negotiations, backup offer conditions, inspection findings & subsequent negotiations, closing dates, etc). Additionally we had the good luck of listing on Thursday and accepting an offer over asking from a very motivated buyer that Saturday. The whole process from listing to closing was one month. This fast tracked process could have been very stressful, but Faylen worked very hard to aleviate the stress that could have been. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better home selling experience or a better agent.

Sara Silva June 13, 2016

Faylen went above and beyond the process of helping me buy my home in Hidden Valley Lake. She worked with my Trust and the builder. She knows her way around everything and did and outstanding job! I would use Faylen again if I ever bought in this area. She knows Real Estate! Yes, I recommend her.

Linda Henris June 13, 2016

Faylen was wonderful to work with. She made the whole process a breeze. Whenever we had any question or concern, she was right on it with answers or solutions. Her knowledge of Hidden Valley Lake, and the surrounding area really helped us make our decision even easier than it already was. We can honestly recommend Faylen for any of your real estate needs!

Dave & Peggy Orme June 13, 2016

Faylen looked for properties for me for an entire year. Always positive and patient in our search. She knew how important to me finding the perfect home is. Faylen is a detail oriented person with a professional attitude. She has a wonderful reputation in our community. I recommend Faylen Mcmurray.

Jeannie & Terry Silva June 13, 2016

Hidden Valley Lake has been our home now for several months. We love it here, and are so happy with our home. We owe it all to Faylen who worked diligently to find us our "Forever Home". She knew just what we were looking for and called us whenever something new came on the market. She even came in on her days off if that was the only time we were available. She is a great Realtor and has become a dear friend. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs. She is a joy to work with!!

Jerry & Susan Sledge June 13, 2016

We first met Faylen when we wandered in to the Hidden Valley Lake Realty office late on a Sunday afternoon. We were considering a move from the East Bay and we were hoping to take a drive around the neighborhood to check it out. We weren't expecting the office to be open, but when we entered we were met by Faylen, who was not only friendly but extremely helpful. She told us about the community and the wonderful amenities offered here. At the time, we weren't sure whether we wanted to buy or rent or even if we would make the move at all, but that didn't stop her from spending time with us and answering all of our questions. She eventually started showing us homes, although we were still unsure of what we wanted to do.

Kerry & Aurora Flynn June 13, 2016

Faylen was nothing but a joy to work with while purchasing our first home. From immediate responses to our hundreds of questions, to showing us any property in a moments notice, to creating an overall amazing buying experience from beginning to end.... Faylen was amazing! I can't wait to work with her in the future. It's nice to have 100% faith and trust in the person who is guiding you through such an important purchase! Thanks Fay!

Whitney & Tyson Brand June 13, 2016

Faylen is fabulous, I recommend her to everyone thinking of home buying or selling in Lake county! She held my hand through my first home purchase, answering all my questions quickly and made the process lovely! I cannot speak highly enough of Faylen!

Marie Russo June 13, 2016

My husbands job is relocating us to California and we were given a month and half notice. I called and emailed a total of 20 agents looking to buy a home. Faylen was number 19 and she returned my phone called within 10 minutes of the message. She was pleasant and reassured me we could find something in our budget quickly. With in an hour I had a list of 15 or so houses for sale in the Hidden Valley Community. The following week my husband and I flew in California and drove up to Hidden Valley. Faylen gave us her entire afternoon. We saw a total of 13 houses in four hours which included our dream house. With her help we had an offer submitted the next day. She had helped make this move as stress free as possible. She has even gone above and beyond to revisit the property for me when I had questions as i am packing from a state away and could not remember some exact details and amenities of the house. I would recommend Faylen to hep you purchase your dream home.

Paul & Corey Eder June 13, 2016

This is our second time dealing with Faylen, once when we bought our home and recently when we sold our home. Faylen is an exceptional professional and we recommend her highly. We are very happy with the outcome of the sale, considering some of the extraordinary issues that Faylen had to deal with.

August 2, 2016

Excellent service from Faylen Silva, never had to worry about anything going wrong. Faylen kept us informed every step of the way and helped us when we had some issues with the inspections. A true professional

nancydelsarto August 2, 2016

Faylen helped me to sell the property in a very professional way, even without meeting each other because I live far away from Clearlake. We exchanged all the information thru email and phone. Signed the documents thru DocSign. The property was sold and closed escrow smoothly.
I'm very happy to work with Faylen and would like to work with her in the future business.

August 2, 2016

My experience working with her is great, She is most nicest realtor I have encounter. She knows all what I needed to sell my house. Very helpful to any question I have for her and she make sure I am comfortable to every thing. All documents are handle properly and submitted by her.
She is very prompt on her processes, negotiate, response quick, and she is all everything that a seller or buyer want. She gave me an excellent service, she is a Plus A.

literal August 2, 2016

Faylen was our agent twice. First, we bought a house, and later an adjoining lot. We went with Faylen the second time because she was so awesome the first time. She is very good at laying out options clearly without trying to push one option over another. When buying a house, Faylen joined us for about half a dozen home visits, on time every time, and she always knew more than we could find online. For both of our purchases, Faylen was quick to get back to us via phone and email. She connected us to all of the relevant agencies (title, inspection, etc), which made the whole process very smooth. We highly recommend Faylen and we'd go with her again.

August 2, 2016

The Faylen real estate experience was, by far, my favorite. Faylen goes "beyond the call of duty." She put MY best interest ahead of her own throughout the transaction--being patient and keeping a sense of humor even through my indecisiveness and emotionally charged state. She was highly professional, yet empathetic toward my Valley Fire home loss. She worked tirelessly to help make my transition a smooth one. Because Faylen did not give up on me during my displacement, I am now feeling "at home" in just the right space after viewing dozens of properties.

I highly recommend Faylen if you want an agent with energy, efficiency, integrity, tenacity and an old fashioned work ethic.

Judy Carroll August 2, 2016

Faylen Silva is the only agent I would consider working with. Her level of professionalism is a cut above all the local agents. Her extensive contact list helped smooth the transition into a new home. She helped calm my nerves on more than one occasion while we dealt with inspectors, appraisers, and underwriters. She is a true gem, one of the best people I have had the opportunity to do business with. I highly recommend her, and personally, would use no one else.

August 2, 2016

Over the years we’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with a number of realtors, but in our opinion, no one has come close to so competently exhibiting the traits of professionalism and integrity that we have experienced through our recent home purchase with Faylen Silva, our real estate agent. Living in Florida while try to purchase in California can be a somewhat daunting task for most but Faylen kept us well informed and on track throughout our home buying process. She recommended inspectors, contractors, and other professionals who were proven and trustworthy. Whenever there was a task to be completed or question to be answered or need for follow up in negotiations, legal details, or scheduling, she was always on top of things. If she didn’t have an answer to a particular question, she had the knack of finding it either through her network of knowledgeable contacts or by just tracking down the right resource for the necessary information. Throughout our home buying experience, Faylen accomplished her work competently and professionally and we were able to go through the process with our highest confidence. And, along with her professionalism, her genuine sense of courtesy, honor and patience made us truly feel like she was always in our corner, protecting our interests and making our home buying experience a comfortable and happy event for us.

We give our highest recommendations to Faylen Silva as an asset for you in buying or selling your property.

August 2, 2016

I would highly recommend Faylen Silva to be your Real Estate Agent. She was very helpful in finding good people to do various jobs in order to get the house on the market. She recommended an excellent contractor for the repair work and had the contacts for inspections and other services needed to complete the sell. She was always aware of changes in the market and how to adjust to them in order to keep prospective buyers interested. She gave very sound advice on what was needed to sell the house, upgrades, how to advertise on the websites and finishing touches that set my property apart from the rest of the pact. She would be my agent again if I need one in the area.

Dave Byrd August 2, 2016

Faylen was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and very fast responses to any questions or requests. Her communication and demeanor were great and she was extremely helpful.

PhiAlpha August 2, 2016

Unbeknownst to me, Hidden Valley Lake requires a guest pass to enter it's gated community. I had no contact in Hidden Valley Lake. I called her office by chance and Faylen picked up. Faylen met me at her office. She introduced herself, gave me a map and added me to her guest list. Iwas able to access HVL. When visiting HVL i saw several properties that i was interested. While purchasing a land parcel Faylen was able to get me a price reduction and i got a great deal. I was able to get the parcel for less then the asking price. She knew the market and was very informative. If you want a very good agent, i highly recommend using Faylen. She was kind, informative and responsive.

August 2, 2016

Faylen is super. Always a big smile. She has been very helpful. And is always willing to do what you need her to do. Would not hesitate to highly recommend her.

ntfdaway August 2, 2016

Faylen helped us find our "dream home". She stuck with us as we changed our minds from town to town, land to property, all with a smile and ebullient optimism. Once in escrow, she was our champion, pushing things along, and sticking up for our rights. Always professional and cheerful, you cannot go wrong with Faylen Silva.

August 2, 2016

Outstanding professonal. My property was a difficult sale, but she was able to find me a buyer and sold the property at my asking price. Also very knowledable and professional. Highly recommended.

August 2, 2016

Our fabulous home had not had any success with another realtor; within 10 days of switching over to Faylen our home was in Escrow, the process was smooth and the most important thing she communicated with us every step of the way! Not only did she have our home in Escrow in 10 days but she had two back-up offers in case the one did not go through. That made us feel very confident.
She is awesome to work with!
If you are thinking of selling -go to her first she will save you money by working hard and getting your house sold for what it is worth! Thank you so much Faylen!

August 2, 2016

I cannot express how grateful I am to Faylen, and how happy I have been working with her. She and I are involved in selling a low-valued property that is under a court-ordered conservatorship. This type of sale is more tedious than most. The sale is complicated further because the property is located in Lake County, yet the conservatorship is under the jurisdiction of San Francisco County. Prior to working with Faylen, I was turned away by many realtors. However, Faylen has been willing to take on this challenge. Faylen has walked me through all of the steps; she has compiled information and data necessary for court reports, and even travelled to San Francisco to make a court appearance. Honestly, I was about to give up on this property and on finding a willing realtor before I met Faylen. I was going to ask the court to allow the estate to “walk away” from the property. Thankfully, giving up was unnecessary because Faylen came into my life.
Faylen responds promptly to all communications. She uses technology to make exchange of documents fast and easy – an absolute necessity given our long-distance working relationship. Faylen is highly professional, yet she has a friendly personality that makes you feel comfortable. As her client, I feel as if Faylen really cares about me. One last thing: don’t let her youth fool you. Faylen is an effective and capable professional. (Status of sale at the time of this review: buyer found, and the court has approved the sale. Awaiting resolution of CA State requirements to conclude the sale.)

dgcannonier craig August 2, 2016

Faylen is a wonderful real estate agent! She was very knowledgeable throughout the whole process and always had my interests as her top priority. She was very easy to get ahold of and very responsive to any questions I had. My house sold in about a month after it was listed and went through escrow in a little over a month after that. Such a smooth process!

August 2, 2016

When it came time for my husband and I to purchase a house we knew we had to call the best. We wanted someone who listened to all of our needs, wants, and wishes when it came to our home purchase. Faylen Silva not only helped us find the perfect home, but also made the paperwork so easy. We E-Signed most of the documents and she kept in close contact with our lender. With both my husband and I working full time during the entire home buying process I felt we were in safe hands. We are so happy with our home and recommend Faylen for all of your real estate needs. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

laurarhebert August 2, 2016

I so appreciate Faylen's positive attitude. She is great at helping find a solution to any issue that can come up. I have used her services on several purchases now, and all I can say is she is tops in my book. She is professional on every level. She is so ready to help in anyway she can. Her knowledge and experience has been very obvious in the properties I have worked with her on. What I love about her is that she has consistently gone above and beyond what would be considered in her job description. That is why i felt like she is worthy of me taking time to write this. She always does her very best to respond to my calls in a timely manner. She is just so easy to work with. If you are looking for an agent that will give you the best in service, you should call Faylen McMurray Silva.

August 2, 2016

Faylen was referred to me by a mutual and trusted acquaintance. She returned my call immediately. Even before we knew we wanted to buy a house, she looked into and found answers to some legal questions we had regarding our current rental. Once we decided we wanted to buy, she seemed the perfect person to show us homes in the area since she had been a resident of the neighborhood for quite a while. She was patient and encouraging with our questions. She stuck to our budget. She helped us slog through a short sale until we finally got into our home by the date we wanted. I would highly recommend Faylen to someone looking for a home in Lake County. She worked incredibly hard to help us find our home.

joleencaron August 2, 2016

I worked with Faylen on a transaction and I have to say, She is one of the most knowledgeable Realtor's about real estate as well as the Mortgage side which really took me by surprise. Most Realtor's that I have worked with in my career usually don't understand too much on the lenders side and dont have realistic expectations when it comes to the loan transaction. Faylen understood when things came up, she helped me over come them, she negotiated hard to get us an extension with the sellers and worked so hard by having my back which was a huge surprise to me since Realtor's for the most part, dont have the best relationship with the lender. Faylen was understanding and patient and was aggressive and helped me keep everyone cool during stressful times. To any lender out there reading this, Faylen is absolutely the Realtor you want on your side. She knows what she is doing and most importantly she understands how the lenders side goes. She gets things come up beyond our control and handles it professionally and helps you get over the hurdles. I was so impressed with working with Faylen, I emailed her to ask where i could write a review because i was so impressed with Faylen's work. Faylen has won my business and she will continue to work with me and my clients in her area because she deserves it. I recommend anyone to give Faylen a chance to prove how amazing she is and I guarantee she will not disappoint you!

Tarik Saran August 2, 2016

I am beyond lucky to have found and worked with Faylen. Being a first time buyer and a single mother, she walked me through every process and was so patient with me. She described every detail and made sure that I received everything I wanted and needed. I will recommend her to everyone that is looking to buy or sell. I not only trust her completely as a Realtor, but can now call her my friend.

corbanxavier August 2, 2016

Our experience with Faylen was fantastic. I found a home on the internet & called the listing agent - lucky for us she did not answer - called Faylen (she was also on the page). Our wonderful experience began!! Drove to Hidden Valley & she showed us 5 houses in the area with various views so we really had an idea where we wanted to live.We ended up putting in an offer on the house I saw on internet. She was so low keyed never trying to push us into a house . She was a master at negotiating - saving us lots of money. She was also a good referral for house cleaners, Doctors & anything else we asked her, she really knows the area! It was a great experience & I will highly recommend her to my friends!!!!
I was a Realtor for 20 years in Marin County & I know a great agent when I see one!!!

August 2, 2016

Faylen was an amazing Realtor from Day 1!! She was very available to me and my family, and as first-time homebuyers, we were very anxious. She worked on weekends to show us homes when we couldn't meet during the week, recommended a fantastic lender (Christina Wilson at Stearns), kept us up-to-date on the progress of our house once we put in an offer, and was very informative throughout the whole buying process. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect Realtor! Thank you, Faylen!

August 2, 2016

I found Faylen McMurray online, and chose her because of her positive reviews. My family's experience with Faylen proved that the reviews are well deserved! My husband and I are first time home owners now, thanks to Faylen and her expertise. She was a joy to work with...patient and willing to answer all of our questions and concerns, knowledgeable in her line of work, and available even at the last minute to view homes of interest. She is positive, friendly, and worked hard to find the perfect home to meet our specific needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Lake County or Cobb Mountain. We are very happy with our new home, and so grateful to Faylen for having gone above and beyond for us!

August 2, 2016

Faylen is great, prompt professional and very attentive. She has been showing us properties for the last year and has the patient of a saint! We have been looking at homes and lands all over lake county and she always greets us with a smile and all the information we need. You will not find a friendlier face than Faylen. When we finally find the right place I have no doubt she will get the deal done for us.

David nevraumont August 2, 2016

I couldn't be happier. Faylen went above the norm, for helping me find my amazing home. She had to work with my Trust and everything worked out perfect! Yes, I would recommend Faylen for all your Real Estate needs.....

August 2, 2016

Faylen is absolutely wonderful. We were using a V.A. loan to purchase a home in Hidden Valley Lake. There were a couple of problems that arose during the process.Everything that came up was handled and or solved immediately and professionally. Peggy and I can't recommend Faylen enough. You can be most assured that she will make the home buying process one of the most enjoyable experiences you can imagine. She did for us!!!

Dave & Peggy Orme. August 2, 2016

Faylen was outstanding throughout the entire process. I sold my home in Pacifica, ca quicker than I thought I would. This forced me to accelerate my search and Faylen showed me numerous properties that were within the parameters I had set for myself.

I can't begin to thank her enough for making this process easy on me.

John Drago August 2, 2016

We sold our home in Sonoma County this summer with the idea of moving my immediate family and my daughter and her children to Hidden Valley Lake to get back to our small town roots. Faylen is an awesome realtor and helped us purchase 3 homes in HVL and sell one home. We originally bought a home smaller than we wanted because we sold our SC home and needed to move, we also bought a nice 3 bedroom home for our daughter. Faylen kept watching the listings and found us our dream home. We bought it almost immediately after it was listed thanks to Faylen and by the end of that week it had multiple offers. Faylen is not only a sweet lady to deal with but she is extremely hard working and good at what she does. She sold the HVL home we originally bought and it closed escrow 40 days after we listed it.

August 2, 2016

We have looked at several homes in Hidden Valley Lake with Faylen McMurray, she is professional and comes to all showing prepared. She knows Hidden Valley Lake. So thankful we found her and looking forward to having her sell our home when it is time to move - I'm sure that she will find us the perfect house when the time is right.

August 2, 2016

Faylen walks on water in my opinion! When I purchased my first home two years ago, she held my hand through the maze and made the entire experience fun and relaxing.
Now, Faylen has helped my mother purchase a home and we have found this agent to be just as outstanding! This time, I have experience with another type of agent which has been just horrendous, the selling agent for my mother! In fact, I have bounced stuff off Faylen and she has remained professional and honest with me. It really is nice to have someone I can trust! You will not go wrong if you ask Faylen to help you buy or sell your home!

Marieandrascal August 2, 2016

Faylen was fantastic throughout the whole selling process. She went out of her way to be available for any questions or concerns I had, she was very responsive to both e-mails and phone calls, and she made sure we were comfortable with every decision that was made (selling price, negotiations, backup offer conditions, inspection findings & subsequent negotiations, closing dates, etc). Additionally we had the good luck of listing on Thursday and accepting an offer over asking from a very motivated buyer that Saturday. The whole process from listing to closing was one month. This fast tracked process could have been very stressful, but Faylen worked very hard to aleviate the stress that could have been. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better home selling experience or a better agent.
