Exceptional Service - Professional, Efficient, and Highly Skilled!…read more I cannot recommend Cosmin enough! From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. I needed a land survey done quickly for my Adu addition in San Jose, and Cosmin was incredibly responsive to my request. He listened carefully to my needs, provided clear explanations, and delivered results faster than I expected. What stood out most was his attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions. Cosmin made the entire process seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for a land surveyor who is not only highly skilled but also acts quickly and values customer feedback, look no further. Five stars without a doubt - I'll definitely be using his services again in the future!

We are so grateful to have worked with Margaret Hartwell as our buying agent. From the first day…read morethat she took us out to view properties, she showed a level of knowledge and compassion that truly impressed us and made it instantly evident that she was willing to take the time to listen to and educate us. We learned so much from Margaret and trusted her experience, caring approach and strong insights from the onset. And now, just months later we're settling into a home that fits us in every way possible and that we feel so grateful for every day! We're so excited to set roots in and see a long future in our first home and Margaret's experienced skills, compassion, understanding of our needs and her strong network (lucky for us, she knew the selling agent and the lender that the selling agent trusted!) made this possible and made the experience more smooth than we could ever have imagined in this tough market. We highly highly recommend Margaret!

He knows everyone in the Lamorinda real estate business (he has lived and worked in the area for 25 years) and knows what he is doing.

Ron and Susan sold our house in Lafayette in a very difficult market - we listed in May, 2008 and…read morethe subprime crisis began a couple of months later. Ron's photos in the brochure were spectacular and their website is the best - they are marketing experts. With a lot of good advice and perserverence, the house sold in Feburary, 2009, after 8 months, and losing much less in value than we had anticipated. I can't say enough about how patient and reassuring they were - they gave us excellent advice. In showing our house over that period of time, we came across many other realtors, but none of the caliber of the Rothenbergs. They are both totally professional and highly recommended.

We recently moved to the Walnut Creek area due to job changes. We met Sereta Churchill who showed…read moreus a couple of different homes for rent. After reviewing our income and credit Sereta suggested we purchase a home rather than rent especially due to high rental prices in the Walnut Creek area. As such she and Randy (her son) showed us many nice homes in Walnut Creek and Lafayette. They were very patient with us and never showed us houses above our budget which was really nice. I would recommend them highly and felt they did a good job.

Buying a house (or selling) has been one of the most stressful experiences my wife and I have ever…read morehad. Randy and Sereta have been consummate professionals throughout the process. I would recommend working them wholeheartedly. We had never purchased a home before, and they were very helpful, friendly and easy to work with: they went out of their way to help us understand each and every aspect of the process, using language we were able to relate to (no jargon, etc.). We are about to close on our first house, and I feel that the experience - although far from perfect - was smoothed and made a lot easier because Randy and Sereta helped make it that way. Kudos to Team Churchill.

Believe it or not this is my first review on-line. That is how exceptional my experience with Jacob…read moreKipp of Greater Bay Appraisal was. He is so easy to talk to and work with. And at the same time is very professional and knowledgeable. I was in the need of getting my home reassessed, for a date of death valuation as my husband had passed away.

SLUMLORD. Would give zero stars if possible…read more From the moment I moved into that apartment I realized I was in a slumlord situation. When I arrived on January 19th there was no working heat and it was in the 40s at night. I was provided with a very small space heater by the "property manager" (that term feels like a big stretch) and I was absolutely freezing all night. The only reason I didn't go to a hotel was because I had just driven for 5 days straight and was literally too exhausted. Additionally, the apartment was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY (I have photos to back this up). The apartment was vacant for months so it is unclear how they did not have time to check the heat or do a basic cleaning. When I complained, Pedram gave me a credit of like $70 for both those issues which is wild as a cleaning service and a hotel stay would easily total $500. Pathetic. I knew I was in for some bullsh*t based on this. From this point on, every time something broke or needed to be fixed, and there were a lot of things that were broken UPON MOVE IN (again, this place was empty and could have been repaired beforehand), Pedram ignored my service requests in the app and my emails. I fixed things with my own time and energy and had to hound him to be reimbursed for the supplies. The whole point of renting is so that I don't have to fix things. I literally had to have a friend fix my leaking kitchen sink because the person who "fixed" it initially didn't actually fix it and Pedram would not respond to my emails at all. I begged him for help. In addition to my actual unit being terrible, the general condition of the property was abhorrent. Overgrown weeds and bushes, filthy walkways that haven't been power washed in years, garbage all over the alley where the bins are, etc. It looked totally ghetto and therefore, people treated it as such. Also, we were told with literally ZERO advanced warning that we would lose access to the washer/dryer for at least a month due to the construction project taking place in the back parking lot (earthquake retrofitting). So then I had to start taking my clothes to a laundromat which is hard to do as a professional working 50+ hr weeks. Additionally, Pedram told us we had to park our cars on the street for this project despite the workers only being there during business hours. There was no reason we had to park on the street at night, other than his negligence with regard to understanding the actual scope of the construction project. My car and several others suffered vandalism/damage due to being on the street. It was completely unnecessary, but he would have known that if he ever stepped foot onto that property or put even the smallest amount of effort into managing it. I finally had to threaten him with legal action to be allowed to break the lease, as I could not continue living in that hell hole. He will not return my security deposit and states he kept it as the lease break fee, which is of course illegal under California state law. So not only did I lose my 2k deposit, I have to pay 1k to fix my car and I paid another 1k for moving expenses. Still very seriously considering taking him to small claims court. I had a completely horrific experience at this place and I have no idea who would write a positive review. I spoke to numerous other residents who all had similar experiences and were completely frustrated and fed up. Pedram, you take advantage of people and you know it. Absolutely disgusting behavior. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You can say I'm disgruntled about the deposit or whatever you need to, to make yourself feel better, but we both know the truth.
