I was referred to Bruce by my South Bay real estate agent Alan Wang/Jennifer Tom and I'm so glad he…read moredid! I needed to get advice on whether I should keep or sell an investment property in Oakland. After speaking with other real estate agents who frankly did not respond after several follow ups, it was like night and day with Bruce. Highlights of working with Bruce: Excellent communication - I never had to follow up with Bruce ever. He was very responsive in his communication, always responding within hours or at most two business days (rare). He also gave excellent guidance on our situation as well. Creative problem-solving - We had an unusual situation with the property, and Bruce always came up with a solution for our many questions. He was a straight shooter and we felt confident working with him based on his experience and knowledge. Quick sale - Ultimately with Bruce's help we decided to sell the property. Our goal was to sell it as soon as possible and that we did. Bruce made the process seamless and easy. I was able to be hands off and let Bruce run with it. Work with Bruce if you are looking to buy or sell in the East Bay. His wealth of knowledge, responsiveness, and experience is invaluable. Overall, he is just a good dude to work with. Hard to find those these days.

Bruce Wagg is a wealth of knowledge and a wonderful resource. In my last interaction with Bruce, I…read morecalled him and he responded in literally 2 minutes. So impressive. He has an amazing amount of information at his fingertips, and always seems to know how to handle things. The market for realtors is flooded. I believe the reason is that the barriers to entry for this field are so small. As such, it very difficult to find a dedicated, full-time, career-experienced, practitioner. Bruce is exactly that. I recommend Bruce without hesitation for your real estate transaction needs.

I couldn't be happier with my experience working with David and the Cush Real Estate team for the…read moresale of my Montclair home. From start to finish, David demonstrated exactly why he's so highly regarded. He is a true professional who maximized the sale of my home despite challenging market conditions. His market expertise and approach gave me confidence every step of the way. I was especially impressed by David's negotiation skills. He provided thoughtful guidance at every stage of the negotiation, ultimately helping us achieve the best possible outcome. Throughout the process, he was straightforward, honest, and completely reliable. The entire team was a pleasure to work with, and I have to give special recognition to Doreen. She is wonderful -- exceptionally proactive, organized, on top of every detail and kind. She seamlessly managed the design, staging, and all of the work needed to prepare my home for listing, ultimately leading to being on budget and on time! David is clearly a very busy agent, yet he somehow always made me feel supported. Whenever I needed guidance, answers, or action, he and his team were there. If you're looking for a real estate team that combines expertise, integrity, outstanding negotiation skills, exceptional service, and just wonderful people, I highly recommend David and the Cush Real Estate team.

Val just helped us sell our Alameda home. I've known her for over 20 years. I chose Val to be our…read moreagent for more reason than just being a friend. She sold a home across the street from us 6 years ago, which is much like ours, for an amazing amount. Far more than I expected. I knew she was the one to work with if we ever decided to sell. Getting a house ready to sell takes experience, savvy and a pile of help. Val knew all the right people to paint the house, fix the floors, gardening refresh, staging, and all the little things which need updating. We got the house ready to sell in 5 weeks and got an offer, at the money we wanted (much more than Zillow suggested), in just 5 days. Keep in mind that at this time, interest rates have just zoomed up over 6%, more than double what they were just a year ago, and everyone is talking about prices coming down and longer waits on the market. Our house got top dollar and Val is the reason.

The house was probably out of our price range and we looked like we had no idea what we were doing. Nonetheless, Val greeted us warmly and willingly answered our questions while asking a number of questions that helped us shape what we were looking for. It was that openness and engagement that led us to seek her out as an agent. She set time aside after our work hours to go through the process with us, listened to our concerns and preferences (even when we constantly broke them), and spent hours with us visiting homes in all sorts of areas, styles, and price ranges while we figured out what exactly we were looking for. She was always on the mark for price points. 3 months later, we ended up putting in our second offer on a house that wasn't even within our original parameters. Val rolled with the punches and we soon got the news that our offer had been accepted! Then the first regional shut down hit. Undeterred, we went through with escrow and ended up with our first house! Val is an incredible force and is a wonderful agent to have in your corner. She's knowledgeable, easy to reach, and makes herself available for her clients. It was a joy working with her to get our first house.

I felt he kept my best interests in mind and helped me make the right decisions. His experience was invaluable and evident when it came to pricing and presenting the house.

Said challenge involved selling a condo in a building tied up in a protracted construction defects law suit. Mark walked me through the disclosure forms and advised me to write a seller addendum, which he helped edit. He also kept my expectations in check, which is important. I never felt like he was a cheesy salesman out to make a buck (sadly, I've seen this before from other realtors). As I mentioned to him, I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to friends and family. Oh, and he's a dog person! Gotta love that!

If we were to do it all over again, we wouldn't hesitate to have Myron as our realtor. From the very beginning, Myron made what can be a complicated and overwhelming process feel manageable and quite enjoyable. Before everything else, he took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our needs, our wants, and really just becoming our friend. From there, he explained every step of the process in easily digestible ways, making sure we felt comfortable and understood all the little things and big things that would occur during the home buying journey. Myron has a true ability to break things down clearly for people like us who had no prior knowledge of the process. He took time to make sure we felt comfortable and informed before moving forward at each step. He got to know us personally, understanding our goals and how different houses might fit our needs. He joined us on multiple house tours and pointed out things we never would have noticed but that became top priorities, and we are beyond grateful for his guidance. Touring a house can be so exciting that we tended to overlook important details, such as kitchens lacking storage, issues with room functionality and flow, and even small safety concerns, which would have become expensive fixes down the road. He also helped us imagine how we would live and grow in a home, which ultimately became the criteria we used to make our decision. Myron is excellent at sharing his thoughts in a nonjudgmental way, so we never felt rushed or pressured, just supported. At every stage of the process, from house tours to signing closing documents and even during move-in, he made sure we felt heard and confident in our decisions. Communication throughout the process was amazing. We had regular check-ins to share our feelings about the homes and the process and to discuss any concerns we had. Myron also made sure to advocate for us at every step of the way to ensure that we were in the best position. Because of that, we had complete trust in him and always felt like we could depend on him. Buying a home is a huge milestone, and we're so grateful Myron was the one guiding us through it. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, patient, and genuine realtor, Myron is the person you want on your side.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
