Anson helped us in every aspects - checking homes with us and telling us advantages and disadvantages of each home, how to plan remodel if we want to change after buying a home, market status, and what is the good range for offer price, and so on. Anson also updated us with latest status quickly and frequently and guided us how to handle situations. Anson's thought doesn't stop with closing escrow. He continuously checks whether we need his helps and gives us great adivces. I referred Anson to one of my friends after buying the first home a few years back. He ended up buying one at a good price with Anson and selling it also at a good price with Anson, and was very satisfied working with Anson. We will definitely work with Anson again if we have another chance, and will recommend to my friends. If you're thinking of buying or selling in Silicon Valley like Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Palo Alto, Mountain View, etc, I think Anson is the one you want to work with.

Rick Ardizzone and Steve Gordon were the leads for selling our house from March '21 to May '21, and…read morewe were very happy with their service and the results. After careful research on who had sold the most homes in the luxury market in our area of Los Gatos / Saratoga Hills, we narrowed down to 3 finalist realtors. We interviewed each finalist on their preparation strategy, pricing ballpark and negotiation tactics. While another realtor had a higher pricing ballpark estimate, Nevis and Ardizzone promised a comprehensive project management of house preparation renovations and staging, taking over the landscape and maintenance of the property. This factor swayed us to select them. Their team-based approach really delivered, and in particular Steve Gordon's project management of the prep, staging and maintenance fully delivered on the promise. The preparation time was aggressive and they coordinated their work according to the schedule. The property was in tip-top shape, and all the details were perfect when we went on the market. Rick Ardizzone led the sales and negotiations and he was very effective in sparking interest in the property, keeping us updated, providing his recommendations on strategy, yet being completely clear that pricing and offer terms were our decision. We were very pleased with the sale. Overall we would highly recommend Nevis and Ardizzone.

Throughout the entire process, Michael and his team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, systematically solving problems, always prompt, personal and personable. I would not consider working with anyone else in Los Gatos!

She is the combination of professional and diligent, sharp and sweet, genuine and tactful. She is well connected and she is so freaking good at her job. She truly put her client's best interest in mind and aim for establish long term relationship and reputation, never rushed us to close deals but know when to push us when she saw the best fit and opportunity. Unlike my previous two agents, Tanya did A LOT of extra miles to actively shop houses off market and diligently follow up with listing agent to collect information. With Tanya's help, we were able to discover multiple offer market SFH deals. For the final house we landed our eyes on, even off market, we end up competing with 5 other offers, that's how crazy the market was! Tanya literally "stole!" the deal for us from a close cash offer bider with her negotiation skill and charisma. As every buyer probably fear, nobody wants to have buyers remorse or find issues after you get the key. Tanya's expertise really put us at ease throughout the whole house buying process. We felt Tanya was constantly looking out for us. She is on point from beginning to end -- she paid meticulous attention on researching and keeping an eye on all the disclosure readings and made sure everything is smooth and correct during our escrow closing process. She is always on top of her game, coordinating and communicating to all parties. You will know how important this quality is when you run into a bad agent who could literally ruined your offer with their arrogance and negligence. Hands down 100% the best agent I have ever worked with.

He has decades of experience in the Bay Area, and has the relationships, knowledge and street smarts that come with those years. Mark was our agent when we bought our first home in West San Jose a few years back. He was honest, smart, knowledgable about the industry and most importantly competent. He kept us informed on the negotiations every step of the way. The sale went the way he said it was going to go. Fast forward a few more years, we sold the house to move to Monterey, and we had Mark represent us as sellers. It was a pretty quick process, as I needed to move for a job. He coached us on some improvements that might increase the price of the home. Again, he was right, and the process he told us was exactly the way it went. We were very happy with the selling price of the home, the speed at which it happened and basically the entire process. Moving the timeline 15-ish years forward, (We were 12 when we started all this) my Mom's health declined enough that she had to be moved to a retirement community close to us in Salinas, so we had to help her sell her home from afar. I needed someone I could trust completely, because I did not have the time to get the house ready and sold from Salinas. I didn't want to manage the sale of the home, but know that we would not worry about getting ripped off. Again, I cannot say enough about the job Mark has done for us. He helped us get people to sell the contents of the house, get the place cleaned (We grew up in that house, and I my mom still had not thrown away much at all, so that was a huge challenge) new carpets, new floors, paint, inspections, the move, and a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head (getting the place staged). I did not have to make one phone call to do this, because Mark and his team took care of all of it. He kept me informed on all of the people he was using. He consulted with me and my mom on every decision. He made arrangements so we didn't have to travel to the Bay Area to sign documents. We had multiple offers and the house sold at exactly the price we had listed (I wondered if we had listed the price too high, but he assured me that it will sell and sell quickly) and it sold quickly. We had a lot riding on the sale of the house, because this sale was funding the rest of her life. If you want experience, a well networked guy, competence, an advisor, a quick wit, someone who cares about the people he represents, Mark is your guy. No hesitations!!

I had the pleasure of working with Jake from Skye Homes through a transaction that my clients just…read moreclosed on. Jake is extremely responsive and very accommodating to a lot of my buyers requests. Before listing the house on the market, Jake had the foundation inspected and found out that the foundation needed certain repairs. Most sellers would just leave it as is and let the buyer deal with the repairs after the purchase. Instead, Jake and his team took what was recommended by the foundation inspector and made necessary repairs. Not only did he make the repairs to the foundation, he also repaired the drainage problems or at least he thought he did. After going into contract with my buyers, my clients decided to do a second foundation inspection through the same company as the seller. Although repairs were confirmed to the foundation, the drainage problems were still persistent and needed further repairs. I requested my contractor to give a quote to repair the drainage problems and sent it to Jake not expecting him to make the repairs or expected him to use my contractor. Without any questions asked, he scheduled the appointment with my contractor to get the drainage problem taken care but also asked if my buyer wanted any other repairs on the home, termite and roof inspection. I have never worked with any flippers that was as accommodating as Jake and his team. Most flippers want to do a quick flip and fix, put the home back on the market and try to get the highest and best offer and call it a day. Jake was very thorough on his disclosures, was very responsive and accommodating. If you ever get a chance to work with Jake and his team, I know he will treat your transactions the same way he treated ours! Oh not to mention, the house was beautifully remolded with great craftsmanship while some other fixer upper homes we looked at, we knew immediately it was a flip and a fast one at that. Jake took his time with his fixes and made sure things were done right! He even included washer and dryer and a refrigerator while other flippers almost never include those appliances in the sale of the home!!! 10 STARS if you ask me!
