Jason was very friendly, patient, responsive, and informative. The home buying journey is an emotional rollercoaster and I couldn't have done it without him. During stressful bidding wars, he was always looking out for me and made sure that I understood and felt comfortable with what numbers I put out. Even though he was busy with many clients, he made sure to take the time to comfort me during these emotional moments. When we encountered an unethical seller agent, he advocated for me. Jason is constantly working and no matter what time it is, he was available to answer questions. I had to remind him to take breaks! He is also well connected and because of that, it helped with negotiation when it mattered the most -- winning my home at below asking price. When it came to closing, my timeline was tight because of an upcoming international trip. However, the team worked hard with my lender to make sure I successfully closed RIGHT before my trip. I highly recommend Jason and will definitely reach back out to him when I sell this home!

YOU TELL MIKE WHAT YOU NEED AND HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. HE WORKS HARD FOR YOU, AND HE CARES ABOUT HIS CLIENT. I live in the East coast and I needed to help my 86 yo mother with very limited English and mobility to sell her house of 50+ years in San Francisco. The property is a 2 unit flat, 50% co-owned by my cousin who also lives outside of California. My cousin was EXTREMELY worried about a closed house sale that might have loose ends that could leave open an opportunity for buyers to later return and request more money, repairs, or sue us for something -- so he did not trust anybody to help sell the property. We discussed hiring a real estate lawyer to help with the process to ensure there were no holes where that could happen. Thankfully my good friend, whose parents' SF house Mike sold, referred me to Mike who happens to have a previous background as a real estate lawyer... perfect! His law background plus the time he took to talk with us over the phone won my cousin's trust. Mike's ability to immediately lay out an action plan and timeline to orchestrate people, services, inspections, paperwork, social media, and showings -- all around keeping my mother "comfortable" and minimally involved -- made it evident he had extensive knowledge and experience in selling all types of homes and conditions, and that he was going to get the job done in a timely manner... all the while he himself making it top priority to keep the process "stress-free" for my mother. Mike cares about his cllients. There were many complicating factors, including: 1) Inability of one of the owners (mother) to perform actions needed to sell the house, 2) Owners living in different states who have limited computer availability and knowledge, 3) Challenging acqusitition of property information: My mother's share of the property changed over the years as other family member owners with varying percentages passed away, with the last family member transferring his share to my mother -- not all this and information about the property prior to my family's ownership was cleanly documented on paper, 4) Multiple difficult and untrusting parties: One former family member owner complicated the situation as he was still tied to the property but not initially cooperative -- he has a rough and untrusting disposition if he does not know you, but Mike was able to win his trust (alongside my cousin's)! There were many issues with the property as it was older and had never been updated, outside of what was necessary repairs such as leaks. Mike wanted to know everything about the house, not just take our word for it, but he ordered typical and atypical inspections so that he could have all the information to disclose to buyers. Despite the lack of maintenance and updates over several decades, Mike saw the potential for what this property could be to others and helped potential buyers see this. Mike found buyers and we sold the house in a declining real estate market. From the time I first met Mike to the time the house closed was 2 months... which I think is fantastic taking all things into consideration. MIKE CONTINUES TO WORK FOR YOU, EVEN AFTER THE CLOSING: Fast forward 8 months later, Mike contacts me about the buyers wanting more money to help with their update of the water drainanage as they were experiencing flooding on the property from the unusual heavy rains. As in typical "Mike" fashion, he took it upon himself to write an understanding yet extensive response that further outlined all the disclosures from the closing paperwork and of the rarity of the unusually heavy rains -- to mitigate the situation. Mike further advised me to contact a realestate lawyer to write a formal letter, for which his company gave me references. The lawyer reviewed the case, and felt all disclosures were properly made and that there was no case. He wrote and sent a letter ... almost a year later I have yet to hear anything, so I am rest assured that the case is closed. MIKE IS A PROFESSIONAL, ABSOLUTELY KNOWS WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO, HAS FORESIGHT, AND CARES ABOUT YOU. HANDS DOWN, I RECOMMEND MIKE FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO SELL OR BUY REALESTATE in SF BAY AREA!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Villanueva when purchasing my new home, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was because from the very beginning, Nick was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. Firstly, this is my first home purchase and Nick took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a home. He listened carefully to my preferences and priorities, which made me feel confident that I was in good hands. His deep understanding of the local market and trends was clearly evident, and it was very clear that he had my best interests at heart. Secondly, Nick had the best communication as he kept me informed at every step of the process, and made sure to answer any questions I had at any time and provided regular updates.

When it came to viewing properties, Nick was incredibly organized and efficient in time and would always be there before I was. He scheduled viewings at the most convenient times and provided valuable insights about each property I visited. Even after 50+ homes that I viewed, he came to each home with a great smile and energy that motivated me more in purchasing the home. Negotiating the purchase was another area where Nick showed his professional experience. His expertise and strategic approach ensured that I got the best possible deal. He handled all the negotiations with professionalism, always keeping my interests as the top priority.

Finally, I want to say one last thank you to Nick, and truly appreciate you. Thank you!
