Client Testimonials
“Jonathan Riddell and Christopher Williams are the ultimate dynamic duo of the Ojai real estate world! We recently worked with Jon and Chris of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty to buy our “forever home” and they could not have been kinder, more conscientious, more knowledgeable, or more helpful. Both are simply incredible professionals and humans. During the entire escrow period, they were constantly accessible to us and to anyone else that required access to the property - even during the times when we were out of town or out of the country. They checked in and updated us frequently throughout the process and were always quick to find a solution for any issue that came up along the way, which they executed with consummate grace. Jon and Chris went above and beyond all of our expectations compared to any brokers we have ever dealt with in the past. They are trustworthy, friendly, and thorough. Working with them is like working with your best friends – they are fully committed to helping you buy your home from the first moment. We would not hesitate to use them again to purchase any property in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend Jon and Chris to anyone that wants to have the best possible real estate experience.”

We have worked with them as a team on two separate Ojai real estate transactions and both times we were very impressed and happy with the level of expertise and professionalism they have consistently provided. Jon and Chris are extremely knowledgeable about the area and up to date on current listings and the details every buyer should be made aware of for each property. They provide knowledgeable guidance with a professional and no pressure attitude. It is clear that they both have the best interest of their clients at the center of the work that they do.

“We were thrilled with the amount of work Jon and Christopher did helping to get the first house ready to sell. They were great in advising us on who to use for staging, and what to do to the house in order to really get it ready to sell. I feel that we received an amazing sale price as a result of all the work they did to get the property ready. the other house that we purchased in Ojai California with a challenging negotiation with a very unmotivated seller. The advice on this transaction most likely saved us over $100,000. In the future, if we are looking for property in that region, we would definitely use them again without hesitation. The professionalism, effort, time, and knowledge they poured into these transactions were highly worthwhile. Thanks for the job Well done. Kudos.”
