Len is a fantastic real estate agent. If you're reading this because you are in search of one and…read moreyou're not quite sure who you should pick then to you I say "congrats, you can stop your quest, you have arrived." Now you might be skeptical and ask me why. My partner and I were on the same quest a year ago and coincidentally stumbled upon Len during one of our casual "let's check this open house out" adventures. Our curiosity had been ahead of having an actual plan and so we found ourselves still real estate agent free at that point. Right off the bat, Len struck us as very knowledgeable. He wasn't trying to sell us anything, he was telling it like it was and didn't hold back from asking us some pointed questions. We immediately took a liking to him and to this day are very happy with having followed our gut instincts. When it came down to house hunting itself, Len connected us with Janna and she was also a pleasure to work with. In our first sit down meeting with them, Len mentioned it takes about 9 open houses to fully nail our taste. I laughed skeptically and remember saying "not us". It took them 5. That's how well they understood what we wanted. Once we were ready to put in an offer, Len was very strategic and transparent. I was glad he was on our side and we didn't have to bid against him. He didn't mince words and was always clear on what to expect. He told us we could call us at any time and he really meant it. Whether it be 12pm or 9pm, on a Monday or Saturday, he would pick up or call us back shortly after. We eventually got outbid on the first house we put an offer in on, but smoothly and happily closed on the second one. We've been living in our house in our dream place for about a year now. We feel very lucky to have stumbled upon Len and we will forever be grateful for their outstanding work and care.

Lisa was our agent and her experience, responsiveness, and attention to every detail was over the top. We called her late one night and relayed that the real estate agent where we were purchasing wanted to put an offer in early in the morning and could she send our status on our sale on the Pacifica end. Lisa stayed up, sent all the information needed, and we got the place before it went on the market! If you are looking for an Experienced, professional, no nonsense, real estate group, We HIGHLY recommend; ECCLESTON INCORPORATED! Conveniently located on Rockaway Beach Ave. near the Ocean. ( We would give 10 stars if we could!)

Wesley Ko came highly recommended from a friend. He laid out a plan for us to sell my current…read moreapartment and purchase a new house in 6 months (all in Oakland) and he worked very hard to help accomplish that goal. Throughout the process he was patient, responsive and professional. For the sale, Wesley and his teammates were extremely efficient when it came to staging and holding open houses and we were able to sell my apartment after the first scheduled showings. The only really difficult thing I had to do was say goodbye to the apartment and move out. I am extremely picky and so when we began to tour houses, Wesley's patience and eye for details really helped narrow down potential properties that would be a good fit for me and we also struck out a lot of bad ones. Wesley's experience shines during touring. Just to name a few things he has a keen sense of smell for moisture/mold, can feel for the slightest unevenness in floors and can tell good from bad repair work just from a quick glance and feel, he has really seen it all. This is where a whole lot of Wesley's value comes from, he's not just another paper pusher...he actually enjoys looking at houses with clients and he is great at pointing out things that a normal person wouldn't see. Eventually a few months later we were able to close on a new house that was exactly what I was looking for. It was a pleasure to work with Wesley and he was so helpful throughout the entire process. As I said before he is thoughtful, smart, engaged and it's clear he loves what he does and I now recommend him to everyone I know who is looking to buy in the bay area.

Although I had started the remodeling before signing with OWN to be the sale representatives for the house, their expertise in knowing the market for my location set us up to get the best return.

So buying or selling, OWN Real Estate is the company to go with.

As first time home buyers, Angie was super helpful through the entire process. She first took the…read moretime to clearly explain the process to us from looking at listings through putting an offer in and what was required for each step. As we went through the process, she was very responsive and also went over and explained all forms to us, page by page of any disclosures, inspection reports, etc. This was super helpful as the hundreds of pages to go through is overwhelming as a first time buyer. She proactively sent us listings and whenever there was a listing that we would consider putting an offer on, she would contact the agent and look through city records to try and find any extra information for us. Through the offer process she also was very proactive in trying to gauge demand for a property and to find comps. She never pushed us to make any offers or offer anything we weren't comfortable with. If we had a different agent, I don't think we would have gotten the property that we got. I would highly recommend Angie to anyone, especially first time home buyers.

My husband and I were surprised how fast we closed the deal on our first home with Angie's help,…read moreafter 2.5 years of countless homes we've seen and working with various agents. Angie came highly recommended by my coworker. And we were equally pleased with her. When you work with her you can expect honest opinions, decisiveness, professional communication and customer service. I work in the customer service industry. It was very important to me my agent has those qualities, especially having bad experience with one of our previous agents. Angie checked all the boxes. And my husband is an engineer, he had other qualities he was looking for in a gent who's detail-oriented, strategic and sharp. Angie knew how to communicate with my husband so he understood her approach when it came to decision making. When it came down to crucial time - the offer, I believe we were 1 of 15 offers. Angie managed to get us to top 3 and negotiated with the seller. We had to revise our initial offer with a little more money. But it was within our budget. We knew agents work their magic with sellers all the time. However, in hindsight it was great to witness Angie to negotiate between us and the seller. Everything went by so fast. But we were delighted to get the good news. Home buying is a constant push and pull process. It was tiring, exhilarating, grounding and rewarding all at once. You still need to do a lot of work on your own while working with an agent. But Angie was experienced and wonderful to work with throughout this process. You should give her a chance to bring you on this journey with her. You might find yourself home living instead of hunting in no time.

Not only that she recruited my contractor to get a carpet quote for her brother who never showed simple of carpets or talked to me in regards the carpet job.
