My wife & I are first time home buyers and met Andrew at an open house where he was the seller's agent. We talked for about half an hour and got along really well, and decided to visit another property with Andrew the following week. Soon after, we signed with Andrew to represent us as we really liked his friendliness and him not indirectly pressuring us... unlike other agents that we've talked with. We toured a lot of homes together, participated in quite a few bidding wars before we finally got our offer accepted! Throughout the contract process, we encountered challenges that we've not foreseen, where Andrew worked really hard to get them resolved. He is a great negotiator and a closer, and we ended up getting our keys a day before the expected closing date. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone. He is very hard working and professional, and just such a genuine person. We really enjoyed working with Andrew, and we will certainly work again with him in the future when the opportunity comes again. read more

Haleem literally made our dream house happen within 10 days (also kudos to the loan officer team). In a competitive market that we were in, we were not unfamiliar with losing bids which created a lot of stress and anxiety for us. That's why a knowledgable and skillful agent is so important in the house-buying process - and Haleem is a great example of that! Although he's a busy man, he's always on top of all our (big and small) questions. And I would also like to mention that Haleem is so patient with our toddler daughter who immediately opens up to him - spiritually I think that's saying a lot about his character. We cannot thank Haleem and his team enough for making our dream house happen; and we will definitely recommend him to our family and friends! read more

I highly recommend Haleem Ballou Real Estate Group. read more

Haleem is extremely knowledgeable and has quite the way with negotiations. He responses quickly and always gives excellent advice. We had been looking for a home for several years and within a few months of working with Haleem, we were able to find a wonderful home. We appreciated when finding a "good potential" home, he would review certain things that we could not change about the place (location, noise levels, etc.). We appreciated his honesty and abilities to work with our own home lender. He has a variety of resources and people to reference (contractors, home lenders, etc.). We would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone as an amazing realtor. read more

We had an excellent experience working with Haleem for our first home. As a first timer, we knew nothing and he made sure to explain each and every step in detail at the beginning of the home search.

Our experience with Haleem was absolutely seamless! We were first time home buyers so we knew absolutely nothing about purchasing a home, searching for a home making offers, etc. While working with Haleem we felt we were in great hands because he knew so much about the market, the process and really took our needs into consideration. He gave us such great advice along the way and never made us feel like we were putting ourselves in A bad spot. He was quick to find us our dream home and when it came to making offers, Haleem truly dropped everything and made us feel like we were the only people he was working with. Although, we know he was busy and had so many other clients at the same time. We know being a realtor is hard work and requires long hours and we truly experienced that from Haleem and his team. Didn't matter if it was late evenings. Haleem made sure to get things done for us and throughout our closing process literally made it so smooth that we never had to follow up or question where we were in the process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even now that we have moved in, he has made sure to check in on us to make sure we have everything we need. Thank you! read more

Haleem is very professional, friendly, and very understanding of client requirements. He helped us buy our 1st townhome. Since it was Pandemic, all house showings were with Haleem present, and we had seen a lot of houses. He had been very patient and not very pushy on putting offers. After moving in, he checked on any issues in the home and also paid us a visit later to address some minor appliance issues. We highly recommend him! read more

Haleem actually worked predominantly with my sister on the sale of our Dad's home following his death. My contact with Haleem was limited, but in every event, he was very professional, available, present and responsive. He returned calls promptly, delivered on commitments and managed an array of services in preparing the house for sale. I was stunned at the pace and quality of the work Haleem had completed. I was especially pleased that he effectively removed so much of the complication and stress that might well have fallen on my sister and family generally. Haleem's can-do, positive attitude and his expertise navigating around and thru pitfalls additionally impressed me. I had another kind of experience in 2018 with a realtor who spent no where near the time or effort to justify their substantial commission - by comparison, Haleem more than earned his payday on this sale. I will always be grateful to him for his services in our time of need. Marc M. read more

Haleem helped us buy our home and we had a good experience working with him overall. He was super flexible in accommodating our schedule when showing houses and always came prepared with a list of comparable sales, the price he'd be comfortable putting in an offer for and the current competitive landscape. After our offer got accepted, he was proactive in coordinating with our lender to keep the process moving forward and promptly answered our questions throughout the closing process. He even offered to have the home deep cleaned before we moved in as the sellers had only superficially cleaned it. It was a pleasure working with him. read more

Haleem was our buyer's agent when we bought our first home. Our home search was during the COVID pandemic which made home buying a bit more unpredictable from a market and seller psychology standpoint. However, working with Haleem was smooth and seamless and we were able to find our dream home within 6 weeks without compromising on anything we care about! He is a very good listener and communicator. If we expressed an opinion or a choice at any time, we could be sure that he not only grasps it but also remembers that and applies it during the home search. He is always reachable by text and responds promptly even when he is in the middle of something else, assuring that he'll be reaching out to us right after that. Haleem's preparedness before a home visit with the comps and highlights from seller disclosures made it very easy to understand each home. His expertise in house appraisal was very clear and he was able to spot the non-obvious issues with homes which is what we needed help with. You can also ask him about how much any remodeling costs, which is very handy. In all the offers we made Haleem was spot on about the price the house might go for, ahead of time, based on comps and the current market trends. He seems to work 48 hours a day and always gives his fullest, to the whole process! Above all, it was very clear that he treats clients as family and approaches each home offer like he was buying it for family! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and it never felt like he was an outsider. read more

Matt was our realtor and he was so amazing! He really took the time to find us what we wanted and was patient as we searched through numerous homes.

Friendly and professional. Thanks for helping me sell my house! read more

We love working with Haleem! We have done work for his beautiful listings and man does this guy work hard to make them look the best they can. We've seen him get down and dirty to make sure these homes are perfect for photos and videos. He also cares so much about his clients. We even shot a family portrait for his client as a gift he got for her. Haleem is an awesome guy we are looking forward to working with in 2019! read more

It was a fantastic experience working with Haleem in every aspect. We were very impressed with Haleem's knowledge when to comes to the housing market. He is a very good listener and responds to each and every query of yours with utmost patience and detail. He provides clear and honest guidance/feedback on which areas/zip codes are likely to see higher house inflation and will give you better returns and also explains why. Haleem took the time to learn about our requirements and believes in establishing relationships. He works tirelessly to come up with listings based on your requirements. Not just that, he goes above and beyond in using his resources and experience to run the comparables for each house that we are scheduled to tour on any given day. He analyzes multiple factors in the comparables and also uses his experience to determine the best offer price for each property you tour with him. Generally agents wait for you to finalize the property and then they run the comparables and come up with the offer price which is already too late for me as house offer price is a key factor in finalizing the house. He is very upfront and will reject the property even before you reject it - that shows he is not out there to make his commission. He wants to make sure his clients get what they are looking for. All in all Haleem is very knowledgeable, polite and easy to work with person and I highly recommend Haleem to any and every one looking for houses in bay area. read more

What's the deal here? I live two counties away, I am not interested in real estate right now, and he keeps spamming me in Messenger.
