Over the year+ we were looking, they became friends and almost family... got to know us, our children, etc. and took it all into consideration when suggesting homes we should look at (or mix!) They are patient and professional, always guided us with a steady hand but never "pushed" us to bid on a house we did not love... when we found "the one" they both gave us good advice on an offer price (more than just looking at comps -- they knew exactly what we valued, explained how/why the house in question was rare and worth a bit of a stretch while still staying within our budget) It was stressful at times, but we'd go with Karen and Hillary again in a heartbeat. Good luck if you're looking... the right house is out there for you :)

Agent was Clark - he is a likeable guy and knows the area , seems he aims high price wise to get the seller on board for the listing but at the end of the lengthy sales process he just wanted his commission, he didn't do well in negotiation while a potential buyer note stating his deep desire to purchase the house was NOT included in the initial offer , which was important negotiation info for me the seller - was that intentional , who knows , but sloppy at best . Since the escrow finalising and closing not a word from him.

"I'm a big fan of Kelly and Raad at First American Title in Orinda…read more Kelly and Raad are fantastic at follow-up and being available when I have questions during escrow. Their Team has helped me through a lot of fairly complicated deals and are light years ahead of any of the other Title Companies in their ability to get me meaningful answers to title questions. Kelly and Raad are very useful in the preliminary stages of putting deals together - either on the buy-side, or the sell-side - by reviewing prelims and trust documents with me, especially when unusual stuff pops up. I am more valuable to my clients and I have gotten many deals because I was prepared with answers, or was able to get answers quickly on issues that were potential deal-killers. I've done dozens of million+ homes, dozens of condos, dozens of development and investor properties ... I rely on Kelly and Raad for their expertise. Kelly and Raad are definitely the experts you want if you are in real estate"

There are no words,,, they are just so good!! I am a single working mother and I did not have time to mess around. Can you believe we got the first house I offered on! Its true! Ben knows the market and he has good relationships with the other realotors. He and his team clearly value their integrity and put the needs of thier customers first. The whole office is staffed with excellent communicators and they respond so fast, I thought I was in a time warp.

Two days later, when I was having lunch at a tiny restaurant in a small HuTong (alley) in Beijing, I received a text from Jeff that said "Congratulations! You got the house!" After the initial shock wore off, I asked Jeff to visit our home in Orinda to assess its marketability. He approached the assignment with more seriousness and professionalism than I expected--he arrived with printed data of all recent sales in our neighborhood. He was confident that our Orinda home would sell. Trusting his judgment, we moved forward and bought the Moraga one. By the time we listed our Orinda home, the market had started to cool. A similar house close-by had just taken a $140K price cut. Against all odds, Jeff secured an offer for us after the first open house--just as he had done with our Moraga purchase. One open house, he got us our new home and sold our old one. The stress we experienced while our old home was on the market was some of the worst we've ever had. We are deeply grateful to Jeff for lifting that burden so quickly. He truly helped us get our lives back. Beyond his exceptional professional skills, it has been a real pleasure working with Jeff. He is warm, generous, and detail-oriented. He is still helping us with little things around our beautify new home. We don't plan to move again, ever, but we will genuinely miss doing business with Jeff. If you get the opportunity to work with him, take it. He has our highest recommendation.
