Everyone is consistently kind, communicative, and respectful. Any building issues that came up were addressed promptly and professionally. I also saw firsthand how Nick handled challenging situations with other tenants: always with patience, dignity, and respect. It's clear that he and his team genuinely care and are just good humans. When I decided to move, I actually checked their listings first to see if they had anything in my new area... Thank you, Nick and team, for such a positive experience over the years!

I cannot recommend Valley Premier Property Management and Jeremy Irvin highly enough! We lived in…read morethe same rental for four years, and throughout that entire time, we felt incredibly lucky to have Jeremy as our property manager. What sets Jeremy apart is how exceptionally responsive and dedicated he is. No matter the issue, he is always on top of it immediately. He is not just a professional; he is a truly kind and wonderful person who genuinely cares about the tenants' experience. Another perk of working with him is the fantastic team of contacts he maintains. Whether it was a quick fix from a handyman, a plumbing issue, or something requiring a general contractor, Jeremy's team was always professional, efficient, and reliable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that any maintenance would be handled quickly by top-tier pros. After four years, we were sad to leave and will miss the seamless, stress-free environment Jeremy provided. If you have the chance to work with him--whether you are a renter or a property owner--take it! You won't find anyone better in the business.

This review is long overdue. We took the plunge and decided to seriously look to buy a home in…read more early 2021. We had been casually looking at the market for a long while and happened to run across Eric Wong as the selling agent at an open house a number of years back (2019?). We remembered during that open house he was friendly, informative and seemed honest (to us even as the buyers). He has been a long time El Cerrito resident and knows the area quite well (along with a lot of the Bay Area in general, I'm sure). In the Spring of 2021, we reached out to Eric to see if he was interested in representing us as home buyers and he was. Having been casually looking at the market for a while, we had a good sense of what we were looking for (style and size of the home and in which areas). From that standpoint, Eric would usually send us newly listed properties and we would let him know which ones we were interested in seeing. So there was not much taking the day to explore what's on the market (which is needed to get a feel for what's out there and in surrounding areas if less familiar). For the homes which we were interested in moving forward with an offer, Eric provided his honest opinion about what a competitive offer would be, the risks of holding or waving certain contingencies, and set realistic expectations. He also gave sound advice in regards to what the home inspection reports indicated to him, as well as introduced us to a mortgage lender who was easy to work with and got us a rate that we could support a competitive offer. Our first few offers were not accepted, but Eric was encouraging, and he set realistic expectations, so we were not crushed with every rejection. His encouragement and even keel kept our hopes up and he constantly says buying a home is a process. Happy to say, the perseverance paid off, the process works and we finally had an offer accepted and a new home to look forward to! Finding a real estate agent to work with is a lot like finding a good health care provider, lawyer, or barber. At the end of the day, it has to be someone you can trust (at least on a professional level), share the same vision and probably more importantly, someone you get along with (not just tolerate). And for that personality does matter. Eric had the right personality for us and it worked out, and we can wholeheartedly recommend him. Remember though, this is variable, so find someone you're comfortable talking openly with, trust that his/her professional perspective matches your expectations and that should set up a good foundation for success. Update: We are very happy with the purchase of our home. To date there have been no major surprises which would probably have made us second guess our review of inspection reports or conjure doubt of how we missed something. In retrospect, the time Eric took walking us through all the documentation was worth the peace of mind.

We worked together for about five months and even ended up exchanging foodie pictures - he's so much fun! I highly recommend working with Eric!

After getting a real home inspection, the repair list was very long. Almost everything he told me about the house was a lie, he used his 25 yrs of experience to rip me off; he said he personally inspected the house before the home inspection. He's a crook, and I don't know why Yelp said they removed my very detailed reviews of what happened, maybe because I mentioned the company that lied on the home inspection. Ed Klotz couldn't even look at me in Small Claims, he's so guilty. He used my neighbors, his in-laws, to gain my trust. He said he like "helping people like me" (who never bought a house and had no one helping). He said I was buying a well maintained family home, turned out to be a rental poorly maintained. It wasn't the money as much as the YEARS of struggling with contractors to fix everything when I was disabled and thought I was landing in a house I could relax and improve. Grade A jerk!

I'm not sure how many times I sent out potential houses I saw on the app to Julia, but no matter what time or day Julia was always open to going with us to look at the house. I loved the honesty that came from Julia and the team. They really look over the disclosures, see if there is anything that their client should be aware of and also what they think of the property. Each individual in the team has their own speciality and I really appreciated that. Julia is well verse to the El Cerrito area, Danielle knows the Lamorinda area, and Jeffrey knows about housing structures. They would answer any questions we had and so thank you to this amazing team! We were able to find our dream home thanks to this wonderful team! Would definitely go back to them if we needed to do this all over again.

Review for Daniel Winkler…read more I've worked with Daniel Winkler for years now--he's sold somewhere between 20 and 30 homes for me, and every experience has been exceptional. I just spoke with him the other day, and he's still the same genuine, down-to-earth person I met at the start: full of integrity, professionalism, and consistency. Daniel is the kind of realtor you can trust without hesitation. He delivers results, stays true to his word, and always makes the process smooth. Beyond his proven track record, he's simply a stellar individual and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for someone who combines experience, honesty, and reliability, Daniel Winkler is the real deal. His company reflects the same values--straightforward, ethical, and committed to excellence.

I've worked in lending and know how credit scoring works, and their excuse was nothing short of laughable. Avoid these people at all costs--they're just out to exploit you!
