He had a newborn baby at home, and none-the-less, was always responsive and available when we needed him. I think what really made him unique is his connections. I'm sure all realtors have them, but everybody that Daniel connected us with, from the inspector to the mortgage brokers and etc., were friendly, courteous, helpful, professional, and thorough. There was never a moment in this process where we felt like we were wasting anybody's time by asking dumb first-time home buyer questions, and everyone was incredibly patient with us. I thought that's what really made this process smooth and above-and-beyond: everybody that Daniel connected us with maintained his high standards of service, so it felt like one smooth process rather than a dozen tiny battles with different people. It was great working with Daniel, and I really can't think of a single thing that would make me want to work with another realtor.

When you are selling your house you want someone "SELLING" your house. Jockeying phones, pressing…read morethe flesh...a salesman! A hunter, not a fisherman. Someone that does more than just unlocking the door and letting the prospective buyer roam free. I did not find that here. What I did find was an agent who was out of touch with the power of the Internet. A guy who acted like he owed me money every time I'd call him up. A guy who didn't think it was worth telling me that he was also going to be trying to sell his own home 200 yds from mine. A salesman that has lost that A.B.C. attitude (Always Be Closing, for those who are not Glengarry, Glenn Ross fans) and with the exception of telling me I should paint the trim of my house (something I was doing anyway) his main selling point was asking me to drop the asking price $20k below it's market value. I know these are tough times, but this began well before the bottom fell out and when I found he had posted his home on Craigslist and not mine or any other of his clients I knew his attentions were focused else where. I know it's just CL, but when I want someone to sell my house, I want them to sell "MY" house....

Christopher Somers allegedly banned me from a neighborhood Facebook group that he is an…read moreadministrator of after I raised concerns about a neighboring pizzeria that, according to city records, appears to have been operating without the required food preparation license and a streetery/sidewalk café license, with seating that's been taking up 3-4 parking spots. And instead of holding the Fishtown BID accountable for not cleaning up their trash (which a business is entitled to do themselves if they have a legal streetery, which this is not because a valid food license is a prerequisite for one), he invited me to a neighborhood cleanup instead. Yes, that's right, he asked me to clean up after a business trashing our neighborhood and charging $42 for pies. This raises a pretty basic question about his judgment and integrity. Why would he silence someone for raising legitimate questions about whether a local business is following the same licensing rules everyone else is expected to follow? These licenses cost money and exist for a reason. If a business is operating without them while other businesses comply, that deserves scrutiny, not censorship. And if Christopher or his team at Keller Williams disagrees with the concept of businesses being required to operate with a license to serve food, they're welcome to explain why. The first thing I'd ask myself if I was looking for a realtor is if they'd give me any reason to suspect they would take shortcuts with paperwork and legal issues. Is this really who you want to trust to find your next dream home for you?

Used Chris Somers twice. First sale went fine in 2013. Second property was close to a million…read moredollars asking and he left a lot to be desired. Sale didn't close and he didn't follow through on anything the way he should have. Because the buying agent was within his firm everything was half-assed. Paperwork was late or missing. He didn't even follow up with agents from outside his firm that had interested clients. Cherry on top: He promised to reimburse me for a home inspection for the property I had under contract if our sale fell through. After the sale fell through, only offered to reimburse me if I listed with him again. Shady AF. Used a different agent and sold the property, and it was a night and day difference in terms of communication and follow through. That agent closed the deal and kept me up to date with any pertinent info. ALL paperwork was on time and completed and no excuses were ever made. He managed my expectations, but also reassured me in a cautious way when it was appropriate. Conclusion: use someone else who has the time to do a good job.

He was very eager to learn about my property preferences and was quick to inform me when the properties I showed interest in were not in alignment with my desires. He clearly outlines all the property information and gives an honest and thorough feedback. I felt 100% confident that Keith was attentively listening and motivated to provide me with the best care and insight that he could. He is very knowledgeable about every property that I mentioned, in the greater Santa Cruz area and went above and beyond the expectations every step of the way. I have full faith that he is advocating for me and finding me the best possible property that meets all my interests. He had been looking at properties in the Santa Cruz mountains and one in particular had an unpaved gravel road that led down to the property. I was driving a RAV4 without AWD and got stuck. He was kind enough to help me push my vehicle UPHILL in his nice suit attire to get my car up out. I felt so awful but he had no issues or hesitations about what needed to be done. Best of all he did it all with a smile and a great sense of humor. We made it out and back to his office, where we chatted some more and laughed again. Keith is a cut above for many reasons and I can't recommend him enough!

She seemed so knowledgeable about the house and the entire process that we felt we found a great realtor. We were also told that we were obligated to buy a house from the realtor who showed it to us... Anyway, we were fine with that at the time. We were then pushed off to a different realtor named Carla. She seemed fine so, again, not a big deal. We found our dream house and were SO excited to put a bid on it. When we did, it was quickly denied as they wanted their asking price. So I asked that we put back in a counter offer and we were told not to waste our time. Since this was our first home, I wasn't sure if this was normal or not but I trusted her. She quickly pushed us to a house that was new on the market and being sold by the owner who had flipped it. It wasn't in the best of neighborhoods but still in the school district we wanted to be in. We were told if we wanted it we had to make an offer asap bc the owner "wanted to sell to a family like us"; which in retrospect seems weird since he had no idea who we were and Carla seemed to know him well already. We put an offer in and it was very quickly accepted. Our inspector came and noted a bunch of things that needed fixing and also mentioned that since the house is old, we needed to get the pipe from the house to the street checked. The seller insisted that was unnecessary because it was brand new as well as all of the plumbing in the house. Now, this was our first house. We had no idea what a seller's disclosure was. We assumed our realtors had our backs and were on our side. Maybe others are, but Carla and Katie are not. We didn't get one, nor were we told we wouldn't be getting one. They just wanted the commission so they could be done. At our final walk-through, none of what we asked the seller to do was done. Carla nor Katie seemed to be bothered by this. In fact, the seller insisted these were things we could do on our own; like fix the windows that kept falling. We looked to the professionals we hired and at no point did they insist the seller take care of business. We signed and we got our house... We were happy until we realized every time we would take a shower, water went into the "water-proofed" basement. We called the plumber and he said it's either because the drains are clogged or because of the cracked pipe. When we asked him to explain, we found out that the seller lied to us about the pipe being brand new. It's a $16,000 fix and we never would have bought this house had we known. Why didn't we know?? Because there was no seller's disclosure... So here we are... stuck in a house that will eventually cost us a lot of money and all Carla and Katie wanted was this sale to be over so they could have their commission. When confronted about this, it was blown off as we knew about all of this. WE WERE FIRST TIME HOME-BUYERS!! Oh and to add insult to injury, the house we REALLY wanted sold for less than we offered. So to Carla and Katie, we trusted you both and you screwed us. I have told every single person I know that talks about buying or selling to stay away from your company. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
