We recently bought a home with Omar Kinaan and we have the highest regard for him. He worked with…read moreus patiently for over two years as we went through this search process and he even has helped us through the rental process as we put the property on the rental market and rented it. He helped us formulate an excellent strategy in a very competitive market. His follow through and attention to detail were excellent. He found properties for us as our priorities changed over time and he never forced us into something to close a sale. When we made the offer on the home that we bought, we were not the highest offer and we were not an all cash offer, yet Omar found a way to build trust with the listing agent and get our offer accepted. He was able to find out what the seller was looking for in a buyer and worked to close the sale. We closed the sale in 12 days and it was largely thanks to Omar following through on all aspects including the appraisal, title office..... Even long after the purchase he has stayed in touch and helping us out with some home warranty and repair issues. Omar was very well connected with everyone involved in the purchase of a house. Whenever we went to see properties, the realtors representing the seller knew him or had worked with him and they always had a lot of respect for him.

He is highly attentive to the needs of his clients and makes a point of checking in regularly to make sure they feel well-informed and can confidently approach the home-buying process. We initially reached out to Don for his opinion on a new build we were considering, and he graciously took the time to give us a thorough rundown on the pros and cons of the property. After connecting Don with the project manager, he was able to uncover material information that wasn't disclosed during our multiple visits to the property and helped us avoid what would've been an unfortunate series of surprises. After we decided against the first project, he worked with us to understand our needs and presented a variety of alternatives that took into account all of the attributes we were looking for. Once we settled on a property, he was hands-on throughout the offer and negotiation process and made sure we presented a competitive offer that ultimately secured us the property. What we appreciated most about working with Don was his communication. He made a point of regularly checking in with us to answer any questions, walk us through what we should expect next, and connect us with the relevant contacts that could address our needs. He took the guesswork out of what is normally a daunting process and was a fantastic partner in making sure we had a frictionless experience at each successive stage of the process.

In the crazy markets of Sunnyvale and Mountain View recently when a house will come on the market, have an open house, take offers that week and be sold a few days later Christy had to be always reachable and ready to act on houses we liked. She gave great, well thought out advice on how much to offer and was strategic in presenting the offers. The entire time we worked with her, she always put the needs of our family first.

He is so knowledgable about the market in this area. Royce knew exactly how to stage, what buyers were looking for, and he was especially talented at pricing correctly to draw the right level of interest and offers. He's was also totally committed to our sale and even personally hosted the open house. We ended up selling with multiple offers after one weekend and Royce got us more than we expected because he negotiated so well. I have to give extra props to his client service too. He is so responsive and his team is on the ball. The documents, prep work, staging, and marketing were all expertly handled. And Royce and his team are great communicators. We always knew what was going on and what to expect. Interesting side note, when we purchased our place 13 years earlier, Royce was the sellers agent then too. He sold this place twice! I point that out because it shows that Royce has a long track record around here. He knows the buildings, the owners, the market, and the other agents as good as anyone!
