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.

I think a 4 1/2 star review would have been more appropriate so I would rate OWN very good. We…read moreengaged Wilson and his team at OWN to sell our home in Millbrae. We interviewed three realtors and we selected Wilson because we agreed with his vision as to how to prepare our home for sale and his assessment of current market conditions. We were very pleased with the decision as we found out that Wilson has a strong team to support the preparation and sales process. A project plan was developed months in advance and for the most part all deadlines were achieved. Luis (contractor) and Priscilia (coordinator) prepared the house for sale on time and on budget. The staging firm did a great job in presenting our home. When necessary Wilson was alway available to answer our questions. The Open Houses took place as we planned months in advance and we were given an update at the end of each weekend. When offers came in Wilson and Cathy (Experttcs) helped us navigate through the negotiation process until we accepted a bid that met our target. We were then introduced to Michele (Director of Ops) and Aldolfo (escrow officer of WFG Title Co.) to guide us through the closing process. Their assistance made the paperwork burden as painless as possible. We were happy with the entire process and impressed with how the Own Team worked together to get the job done. We deducted a 1/2 star because the lateral sewer work mandated by the city was delayed for weeks because the plumber that OWN uses was not available. This caused a delay in closing. My recommendation to OWN is to expand the list of plumbers the company can use. Also, we were assigned an original coordinator with whom we did all the pre-planning. However, when execution time arrived we discovered she left the company. Thankfully Priscilia stepped in and everything worked out fine.

I felt that he was more concerned about me finding the right home then a commission which was very courteous on his part. I would definitely recommend working with him. You will surely find the right home.

Raziel and his team were incredible and we would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. As…read morefirst time home buyers we were overwhelmed with everything involved in the process and were worried about navigating the process. But Raziel guided us expertly through everything and I can honestly say so much more knowledgeable than the other realtors we interviewed! At every step of the way Raziel and his team went above and beyond our expectations. Just some of the highlights: Raziel is extremely detail oriented, thorough and a superb negotiator. Truly a joy to work with, cannot recommend him enough, you will be in very good hands if you decide to work with him!

Raziel is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and very data-driven, which was something we really appreciated. When we needed to make quick decisions, he was always prompt and responsive, but when we wanted more time to think things through, he never made us feel rushed or pressured. He has high integrity, is consistently professional, and always gave us advice that felt honest and genuinely in our best interest. He was also incredibly helpful beyond the transaction itself. Raziel has a large network and team and was able to connect us with people for many of the things that come up after purchasing a home, from gardening and maintenance to rodent control. Just as importantly, Raziel is genuinely fun to talk to and easy to be around. By the end of the process, he felt much more like a friend than simply our real estate agent, and he is absolutely someone we hope to stay in touch with. We felt very well supported throughout the entire process and would recommend Raziel without hesitation.

Thanks to the guidance…read moreand experience of Kevin Cruz and his Kinetic Real Estate team, our house was quickly sold without incurring any renovation costs. Surprisingly, before the house was even listed on the market, we got a great offer just two weeks after we signed a contract with Kevin. This shows how well-connected and experienced Kevin and his team is with both buyers and sellers of properties in the Bay Area/Daly City market. We were very impressed by his presentation of showcasing the property to gain maximum exposure to both online and visiting buyers. As our realtor, Kevin was in constant communication throughout the entire process and we ended up getting the best deal possible. Selling a home has never been so well-organized, convenient and satisfying. I highly recommend and compliment Kevin and Kinetic Real Estate for an outstanding job!

From the very beginning, Samantha made us feel comfortable and confident that we were in good hands. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely cares about the people she works with. She was always patient, communicative, and willing to take the time to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small.

Our family members visited the home we were interested in individually and multiple times. Each time John was happy to show us the house, explained different features and answered all our questions. We decided to make an offer. There was a gap between seller's expectation and our offer. John didn't rush and push us to buy. He worked very hard to negotiate with seller and reduce the gap. Because of John's hard work, we reached to a mutually agreed price with seller. Before closing, we wanted to purchase furniture and needed quite a lot measurement in the new home. Every time John made the effort to accommodate us in the house to do all kinds of measurement. He helped us moving out all stuff we don't want to keep in the basement of new home. John was extremely helpful during our purchase process. He always tried his best to accommodate us and address all our concerns. What's more, John went the extra mile in making sure we were happy with the new home purchase. We love the seller's outdoor statue. John ordered a similar statue for us as a gift. We really appreciate it! Overall, we had great experience working with John during the whole process, and very satisfied with our new home. I highly recommend John!

She did notice that we made substantial improvements to the house by turning a basement room into a full in law unit but did not list it as such , or recommend what we could do so it could be listed as a separate rentable unit. Other things that were not professional were, asking why we wanted multiple bids, asking if we would consider selling the house to her investor friends and not listing it.

In that time, we have referred many friends to Rehana for help buying their first homes. Each and every time, she has been amazing and everyone has walked away with a new home and a new friend. With the recent sale of a family home as part of an estate, Rehana went far beyond anyone's expectations to guide us through a confusing process, to help us clean out a packed house, and facilitate all repairs and updates so that the house, in the end, looked spectacular and sold well above asking within four days on the market. In the process, she quickly built rapport with my octogenarian family members, was available whenever we needed anything, and got us over some really challenging hurdles with the house. She is a tenacious and sharp negotiator and made sure we got the best possible offers. Rehana is exceedingly patient, incredibly wise, a fantastic communicator, super honest, thinks outside the box, and is just really fun to spend time with. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone. She's the very best!
