There are three separate signs on my porch to discourage advertising at my door including not to leave paper. If I enter your place of business, I'm sure you would like me to respect your posted signage. In the future, give the same respect to residents on their property and don't leave things behind if their signage asks you not to. read more

The whole mentor mentee program was a joke it just seemed like they wanted me to pay for all these services , fees, insurance, and other tools without halving a grasp on the first thing of getting into real estate. After 2 meetings with my mentor he decided to drop me as a mentee since I push back on purchasing $1100 program for something i didn't feel i had any use for. All he had me do was fill out silly work sheets for middle schoolers on goal setting and what I wanted to be when I grow up lmao. His big idea was for me to create and organize a community garage sale. While I was trying to learn selling/buying real estate. When I checked my mentors sell history it didn't seem like he was a strong agent. Sounds like the blind leading the blind. read more

I had a bad experience with an agent who may no longer work with this firm (now at Kite Hill, which I think is a subsidiary of KW). I regret it and wish I had never trusted my home buying transaction with this company. The agent suspected me of shopping around for another realtor (I wasn't), and cornered me with a huge amount of anger. He later just seemed to check out of the process. Ultimately, I was the one to find the property I purchased, by monitoring e-mail alerts from a third party. He took off for a vacation in Mexico in the week leading up to my closing, didn't attend or offer to attend my closing, and didn't send a gift or even a thank you card. Though he did offer to make the home available for my inspection, he provided zero input and wouldn't advise me on reading disclosures or visually expecting the property. This put me at a real disadvantage as a first-time home buyer purchasing the house as a single person. He has slacked on responding to e-mails or answering questions. Following closing, no one from KW contacted me to survey me about my experience and satisfaction. I really, really regret working with this firm, and encourage other buyers to have higher standards for their representation. An agent should collaborate with you, and not express an overt passivity and lack of interest in the largest purchase you'll make in your life. read more

I am SO tired of being home SPAMMED with advertisements from "Soo Jung (Julia) Kim being slipped under my gate, that I've resolved I will NEVER do business with this person or this company. PLEASE STOP. (Lady, people like you are the REASON I have a gate!) read more

This company repeatedly calls me even though I have requested that they cease. I am on the do not call list. They do not care. Do not do business with a company that has no respect for a potential client. read more

Spam callers! How the hell is this the right way to do business? I will NEVER do business with a company that spam calls to get customers. I highly suggest changing your marketing tactics. In this day and age, spam calling is archaic and lazy. read more

Mike Jones made everything so easy for me. I, like everyone else just looking to buy in the Bay Area had a limited budget, so that makes looking somewhat easier. However, Mike took everything to the next level. His disposition was perfect, and just followed through and did everything he said he would. All to rate in the world of real estate today. Thanks Mike! read more

My husband and I reached out to Valerie Crowell to help us sell our mobile home. She went above and beyond to be helpful to us and explain everything in great detail so we understood what we were getting into. She kept us up-to-date on any changes was very helpful on any thing that we had to do. She made the selling experience completely easy and enjoyable. It was a positive experience for us. We got a lot more than what we were expecting and we closed in less than 45 days. I can't thank Valerie enough for making this process so smooth. We learned so much and I would highly recommend Valerie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area. We are very happy clients! read more

This is the letter I wrote to David Zabarte & Simon Watson for the job they did in representing us in selling our house in Concord recently: Thank you very much for what I consider one of the best jobs of representing a client I have seen in my 35 year real estate career. When my wife and I told friends and family that we were selling our house, they knew I was an experienced real estate professional who has done literally thousands of deals in my career. Many asked if I was going to list our own house. "No," I explained, "Even though I am a licensed real estate broker, selling houses is not my expertise so instead I am hiring the best local professional I can find.". I could tell from the facial expression on many of their faces that they didn't understand. Like many people, they viewed paying a commission a big dollar outlay that should be minimized. I don't look at that way at all. My perspective is totally different: whom do you want working for you: some discount brokerage guy who works in an office cube hundreds of miles away or a local expert who understands the nuances of your market? I often wonder if the guys who pick the discount broker also bid out their surgery and go with the cheapest surgeon. After living in my house in the East Bay for sixteen years, I knew first hand picking local experts made a huge difference as I had observed some of my former neighbors who were moving selected their aunt or former Little League coach as their real estate agents and then, in my opinion, left tens of thousands of dollars on the table when they sold the house because that particular agent, although triple nice, didn't understand the subtlety of selling houses in our particular subdivision. I am pretty sure these agents analyzed the market by lumping all the houses in a given zip code together and compared one to another. This is Zillow's approach and it can yield very misleading results. While that approach might work some places, it was not an accurate way to evaluate pricing iin our sub-market. I wanted a knowledgable local real expert but I struggled finding the right team of agents to hire. I considered the high volume agents but in looking at their history of sales, I concluded that the reason they did so much business was because they under-priced the property. They committed what I consider one of the cardinal sins of client representation: doing what's easy for them instead of what's right for the client. In short, these high volume agent teams were as bad getting the best price and terms as the zip code lumping agents. I was really floundering with my selection as our move date approached. Finally, I asked of my former associates with whom I used to work who had sold his house and moved out of the area. He was an experienced real estate professional, but, like me, in the commercial/industrial field. He knew good real estate people nonetheless so I valued his opinion. His answer on whom I should talk to was surprising: not the guys who represented him but the team who represented his Buyer. This team, of course, was you! He was very impressed by your knowledge of the local market, your ability to negotiate, your thorough preparation, and your follow-through. At the end of our successful transaction, I felt the same way. On our particular deal, what really impressed me was how you represented us. When we agreed out our listing price which we both thought was a bit of a stretch on the top end of the market, it would have been easy for you to sell our house for the listing price. My wife and I would have been happy with that result. However, you coaxed a significantly higher offer from one of your colleagues in your own office that was so much higher that you not only paid for your share of the commission, you put extra money in our pocket. In other words, if I had listed the my own house and sold it myself, I would have been worse off financially than having used your team. Wow! In summary, if you want to get the team of the best local professionals in the East Bay, you can't do better than David Zabarte and Simon Watson. They will work hard on your behalf to get you the best result possible when selling or buying property. read more

Renee White is an excellent agent, always listening and finding good matches. I just closed on a house in great time. Thank you Renee

This is the second property I buy using Keller Williams. I strongly recommend going with the Walnut Creek team. My experience with them has always been excellent. Don't waist your time trying other companies, I did in the past and waisted moths trying to find a good real state agent. My agent this time was Mike Jones. Mike is someone that truly cares for his clients. He will work really hard to help you succeed and he brings a really positive and calm attitude which is extremely important for such a stressful process. I have met many real state agents before and in my experience it's rare to find people that genuinely care and Mike is one of those people. If you need to buy a property on the Bay Area and you want to find professional experienced real state agents go to this location. read more

We called Renee after seeing a condo listed in Walnut Creek that we were interested in. She was on time and professional, but the condo was not for us. She offered to show us some more places and we took her up on her offer. She sent us an email with some suggestions and we did a drive by and decided we were interested. She emailed us to say that property we were intersted in had income restrictions (she should have checked that first, just to point out the obvious), so she sent us some more properties. We also found some properties we wanted to look at, since her list only included 1-2 houses. We then emailed her saying we wanted to see them and she never called us back. I emailed and phoned and no reply. The whole experience made me feel like she didn't have time for us. I understand that, but she should have been up front about it in the first place instead of wasting our time. After that, we found another realtor who helped us find a house and didn't make us feel like beggers. I probably wouldn't have bothered to write this review if it weren't for the fact that about a year ago, she started calling us ever three month and leaving voicemails asking if we wanted to go look at houses with her. The first time she called, she said something like "I wasn't sure if you'd found something yet or not, but..." We have been in our house for three years now! What could she possibly be thinking? That we're still in our apartment waiting for her call? That we would want to do business with someone who has a three year response time? read more

Renee White is the BEST realtor ever! I am so happy with all the great help that she gave during such a confusing time... she was patient and explained everything to me, a first time home buyer, in easy to understand language as we looked for the best thing we could afford! Renee is communicative, easy-going, motivated and will give you honest opinions. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking to buy a home. You will love her! read more

Mandy Novotny at Keller Williams was stellar in focusing on my wants and needs, then positioning and with savvy selling shepherding the process right through to the closing process. Her bright, upbeat style moved through any challenges and tedious paperwork while she readily communicated and patiently explained everything I needed to know or ask in the selling of my townhouse. It was easy to trust her and I look forward to using her services again when it is time for me to buy my next place. She works hard and delivers! Thank You, Mandy! read more

Would highly recommend using Deb for buying or selling a home. My girlfriend Diana and I are very pleased with the thorough service we received in purchasing our Condominium in concord, ca. She knows the market and the ins and outs of the real estate business. She was able to negotiate on our behalf for the sellers to match the appraisal. We have been in touch with her since day one and she has been a very pleasant person to deal with. In the future, when my friends need somebody, I'll know to mention her name because she will still be there for us with questions and concerns, even after the transaction is finalized. Thanks for a fun time and for negotiating on our behalf. I'm glad I chose you! read more

Williams realty is an agency I'd recommend to anyone. My broker was Kirk Ansari who is a genuine man. He was attentive to the process and to my needs. An over all good experience working with them. read more

Terrible experience. I would not recommend doing business with them. They don't look out for the client's best interest and always trying to cover their ass. read more

Our experience working with Kouros "Kirk" Ansari has been outstanding. Most recently Kirk helped my husband and I with a purchase in the Berkeley Claremont Court area. I fell in love with the home at first sight, but we had no intention of making an offer because we were on a budget and felt we had no chance of getting it. Kirk insisted that we still write up the offer and that we might get pleasantly surprised. While we were not the highest bidder, the sellers ended up selling to us because Kirk wrote up an incredibly clean offer and did a fantastic job of building rapport with the selling Realtor. I'm still in shock that we own this beautiful property. By the way, this is our 8th transaction with Kirk. If you want somebody you can trust, knows his stuff, and won't take you down the wrong path, work with Kirk! read more

I referred a friend, I will call her E, to Renee White to help her in locating a home in this area (she was moving here from Florida and only had a few days to look for a place). I was impressed in that Renee made immediate contact with E and showed her several places. E told me that she was pleased with Renee's efforts and was very comfortable with her. read more

Great agent. Knows market; hangs in with you throughout the process; negotiated great deal; helped with warranty.

Ryan Williams, Agent of Keller Williams Realty provided outstanding service during the short sale of our home in Concord. He was there working with the bank and the buyer's agent during the 10 months it took to bring the sale to a successful conclusion. We would use Ryan and Keller Williams again and would recommend Ryan personally to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable Realtor. read more

Kirk Ansari found me a great deal on my new home. I highly recommend him as an agent. He was always very professional, courteous and patient throughout the whole process and really made me feel that he was on my side. read more

I already wrote a review regarding my realtor, Ms. Renee White. She is excellent! However, when I went to look for my posting, at first I couldn't find it. I am wondering why my review (along with two other positive reviews) got pushed into the "filtered" review section so those that are looking on Yelp* aren't able to easily see it, unless they really dig for it. Hmmmm.... I was shocked to see what Lea T. had to say about Renee. Maybe she reviewed the wrong person? Renee did such an outstanding job that I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy a home in the Contra Costa county area! She is punctual, professional and polite. She hung in there with me during our long search for a home - as demanding and picky as I was! One could never ask for better communication from their realtor. My in-laws are looking to buy a place now and most certainly they will be using her services as well. I do hope THIS posting will be in plain sight so that those casually browsing will spot it easily. read more
