My wife and I have recently had the pleasure of working with Matt on a real estate purchase on the…read morecoast. I'm a long time coastside local and grew up there since the mid 70s. We know lots of realtors and had lots of great choices for who could represent us. We ultimately decided on Matt after sitting down with him for a cup of coffee to see how we all gelled. My wife is very easy going and I am very structured, need a lot of contant attention and like to be kept in the loop, in other words I'm high maintenance. We explained what we were looking for in a property and set Matt to the task. We looked at a few places on our own and had Matt show us a few others. The property we ultimately purchased was a "for sale by owner" which many realtors might shy away from for fear of having to work too hard. Matt was stellar and exceeded our expectations every step of the way and did a great job of keeping us in the loop at all times. He team was on top of all the details and worked well with our finance team behind the scenes to make sure the transaction proceeded smoothly. We would highly recommend Matt Haugen to anyone purchasing a home on the coastside.

We worked with Richard Parham from the Kulda Group…read more Richard is an absolute phenom. He turned the housing process which we thought would be long and frustrating into a walk in the park. Richard goes above and beyond. He prioritizes relationship building over transactional volume, which is the secret to succeeding in business that no one else seems to understand. A good example of this was that when we expanded our search outside the Bay, he had no problem referring us to a new realtor who specializes in the new area and continued to work with us in the Bay. We are so glad that our house was closed with him. He speaks to the listing agents after we leave to get insights that other realtors normally don't get. He ensures our offers are competitive and doesn't waste time. He services more than the peninsula when he talks about the "Bay area". Richard is patient and we looked everywhere with him to find the absolute perfect dream house that we found at the perfect price. We looked all over the bay, went to hayward and San Leandro, followed by pleasant creek and Antioch. Richard will go anywhere with you. Richard knows his stuff. He makes the listing agents we visited look like rookies. We always felt like we were in good hands and if you find your dream house, Richard will make sure that you do what you need to do to win it. After winning the bid, Richard stays on top of the seller and yourself to ensure a smooth and timely close. He will make sure you know what you need to do, he knows what your lender needs to do, and he will hound the seller to ensure the house is in mint condition before it is passed on to you. The service is second to none. We loved working with Richard and will continue to work with him in the future as we grow in the Bay. Thank you Richard for playing a big part in getting us in our dream house.

They were not pushy, but were confident and capable. They worked as quickly as needed without ever pressuring us. Their "home transformation coordinator," Reva, did exactly as her job title promises. Brittany was extremely responsive throughout the process, and also just really pleasant to work with. Juliette is professional and brought her expertise whenever needed. Their transaction coordinators came in and made the tight (14 day) close manageable. We are very happy that we hired them, and would absolutely recommend the Kulda Group to others.

Working with Stephanie at Palermo Properties was a fantastic experience from start to finish…read more Stephanie went above and beyond--she was always available, even while on vacation with a 9-hour time difference. She continued to have weekly calls, followed up with vendors and colleges to ensure everything went smoothly while she was away. Her dedication to the sale of our home in Montara made the process smooth and successful. She helped with everything from finding trustworthy vendors, assisting in obtaining proposals for work needed on the home, and giving advice on what was needed to ascertain the best sale price and ensure our home shined prior to listing. Once vendors were selected, she even met them to ensure the work was top notch. Thanks to her strategic preparation and networking, we received an offer at asking price the day before the home even hit the MLS! Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. If you're looking for a hardworking, responsive, and knowledgeable realtor, Stephanie and her team are the people you want in your corner. Highly recommended!

I wish I could articulate what a brilliant and hard-working agent Stephanie is. There was never…read moreever a moment where my partner or I felt like we had to chase her down for attention with our search, help and clarification about any matter, or information regarding any part of the home-buying process. Even when she's working with other clients, she really makes one feel like she is there for you 24/7. It made us feel like we had a weapon at our disposal. In the end, our story in buying our first home (which is seemingly unbelievable and magical in some way) feels like it wouldn't have been possible without Stephanie next to us. I would not think twice about reccommending her to anyone seeking a professional, intelligent, honest, awesome, sweet, and simply bad-ass real estate agent.

We were thinking of moving from eastern Canada to San Francisco... Some friends with whom Vita…read morehandled their LA to SF move, called her up and she volunteered a day to show us around the peninsula, knowing that this was only a scouting trip and that we might never even move... Okay, so we did decide to move to SF, but couldn't get american financing right away, so we needed to find a place to rent. Again, Vita volunteered her time to look at rental listings and e-mail them to us, and when we came down for a rental-hunting trip, she took us around to view the rentals and make recommendations. So when it came time to actually buy, we knew she'd be a hard-worker for us to satisfy what we were looking for... She had the patience to deal with a really long and drawn-out process (apparently my name is similar to an alias used by some Burmese drug-lord and the stupid mortage company couldn't figure out that we were not the same person) and was with us throughout the whole process. Bottom line- Vita cares.

Hands down, Vita is as good as you can get in a real estate agent!…read more In the last 5 or so years my husband and I have moved 3 times. Once locally, once across the country, and once internationally. Vita managed both our international move and our local move. She knows her stuff, she listens to what you want, she works fast, and to top it off she's great with kids. Our 4 year old ADORES her. It makes a huge difference when you're buying a house and your agent really understands how hard it is to juggle with kids. I don't have a single negative to say in this review. Look her up, give her a call. Vita gets 5 stars!

Julie has been an invaluable part of our home-buying journey--truly irreplaceable. We are so…read morethankful that we have her expertise and guidance as first-time homebuyers. She answered all of our questions, listened to our wants, and brought an amazing network to the table. Julie was professional with voicing her opinion and was honest with it, which is a rare quality to find in an agent. She does not up sale for the sake of selling. But was smart and careful with how she strategizes and made sure we got what we needed at a great price. Julie consistently reached out to ensure we felt at ease throughout the process and made sure our goals were met without regret. She is thorough, honest and amazing to work with. We got our house at a great price and feel incredibly fortunate to have had Julie by our side every step of the way. Thanks to her, we navigated this complex process with confidence and ended up in a home we truly love.

We relied heavily on Glen's advice and took advantage of his knowledge of HMB in locating the essential services needed to achieve the momentous task of emptying out decades of accumulation.
