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!

We had an excellent experience working with Raziel on our home purchase in Hillsborough. Our timing…read moreand budget were both somewhat uncertain throughout the process, and he was incredibly patient, flexible, and thoughtful from start to finish. 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.

We interviewed several agents at the beginning of our search, and Julie and Peter immediately stood out as the best of the best. They communicated with us regularly, patiently answered all of our questions, and even helped us put in a time-sensitive offer while out of the country on a family vacation. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, our very first offer was accepted. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home. For us, it was very important to work with someone that we not only enjoyed interacting with, but who we also could count on to ask the right questions and provide the right counsel exactly when we needed it. Julie and Peter more than delivered on both of these fronts. With many years of experience in the Bay Area, they have a deep well of knowledge and a stellar network of contacts, from loan agents to home insurance providers. We would recommend them without reservations to anyone on the market.

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.

She was always patient, communicative, and willing to take the time to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small. She also speaks multiple languages, including Cantonese, which was especially helpful for my dad and made the entire experience that much more personal. One thing we really appreciated was how much effort Samantha put into making sure the house looked its absolute best. From professional photography and video shoots to staging and a dedicated property website, she went above and beyond to showcase the home and attract potential buyers. You can really tell she takes pride in her work and wants the best for her clients. On top of everything, Samantha is an amazing negotiator!

Laura and her team were incredible to work with as a first time homebuyer, and I can't think of…read moreanybody else that comes close to their level of expertise and professionalism. I was referred to them via a professional connection who trusted her with many deals in the past, and I can say it was also a 10/10 in my case. As you may know, the SF Bay Area is a competitive market, and it's quite a grind to gather all the paperwork, assemble an offer, let alone have it be accepted and go through a seamless close. It's a stressful situation for most including myself, but Laura and her team was on top of things throughout the process. Where do I start? Well, I can sit here and type for days raving about my experience, but I'll cut to the chase: Laura, Lexie, Ty etc. were incredibly friendly and personable, they responded to questions (texts, calls, emails, whatever!) pretty quickly and in great detail. That alone establishes trust, especially for such a high value and emotional purchase - your home. Laura never pushed or persuaded me on any listings we toured. In fact, she came in with a fresh perspective on "risk"s and things to watch out for as a buyer (the condition of the floors, the floorplans / layout, the neighbors / neighborhood in general, modifications allowed, permit history etc.) which I greatly appreciate given I had no prior experience and doing this the first time. Once we settled on places we'd like to place an offer for, she and her team pounced on getting all the docs lined up in time - pulling permit histories etc. to make sure there aren't any unexpected snags. She and her team were extremely communicative throughout the process, navigating counteroffers and just hustling it out. I just felt they really went above and beyond here. Once we were in contract, Laura, Lexie and Ty coordinated all remaining work (secondary inspections, loose fixtures, clogged sinks, deep clean prior to move in, extra paint / garbage removal etc.) to make my move-in significantly more seamless and stress-free. Some of these were done by the seller / seller's agent, in which she handled all communication promptly to have them addressed before the closing date. Others we did a day or two after close, but the appointments were so well managed ahead of time. Also, some folks who came by the place to do the work only had nice things to say about her and her team. Honestly I can't imagine anybody else doing it this well as Laura's!

We met Laura one weekend and placed our first offer the following week. While we did not win that initial bid, the experience taught us so much and helped us refine our strategy for the next home, which ultimately led to a win. Laura and her team were exceptionally responsive and proactive. She even replied to our emails the same day while traveling internationally. As first-time buyers, Laura took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, from reviewing dozens of documents to understanding what truly mattered for our needs. She stayed ahead of updates and followed up persistently, including evenings and weekends. She guided us through pricing our offers using strong comps, flagged red flags during inspections, and never pressured us to settle on a home that was not right for us. The entire process felt supportive and genuine, never pushy or sleazy. Laura is also extremely organized and has an excellent network of trusted inspectors and contractors. We used several of her recommendations and were very happy with the results. Even while balancing work and travel, we closed on time. If you want someone who truly has your back, she is the one. Highly recommend Laura Bryant Homes.
