CONDO ON ASPEN CT…read more Condo owners -- if you're wondering why it's taking a while to find a tenant, now you know... Saw a property online to view and contacted this company. Annie emails me to tell me to call her to set up an appt. I call and she answers the phone and asks if I can view the property that day, even though my message likely requests Saturday because that's only day I was viewing. She then tells me to call back the next day to confirm another date. Upon calling, she AGAIN asks if I can come in that day to view the apt. I AGAIN ask for Saturday and she says 6pm, but then gives me a very flaky answer about how she's not the one showing the apts and needs to check the schedule. She then asks me to call back the third day (Friday). My schedule is too busy for this. Saturday was potentially confirmed. Saturday morning, I sent two emails confirming if the appt is still on, as I refuse to show up without confirmation and details for viewing the place. No response from Annie or the guy who was supposed to show the place. No response on Monday after getting back into the office, no response ever.

My husband and I have known Julie and Pete for over a year and they helped us find our current home…read moreand helped us sell our old condo. When we first met Julie and Pete, we could tell right away that these people truly care about their craft and about their clients and they treat them like family through every step of the home buying and selling process. We first started looking for homes early last year and were able to find a home by May last year. We had a lot of factors playing into our situation and Julie and Pete understood our wishes were negotiables and non-negotiables when finding a property. They truly looked out for us every step of the way. When it was time to sell our condo, they were extra sensitive on the matter and truly wanted the best outcome for us and also wanted us to close that chapter in a safe and wholesome way. We sold the condo that was bequeathed to my sibling and I from probate. It was difficult to let go of the property since there were very many memories attached to the place and Julie and Pete were very understanding of the process. They guided us in the right direction from what paint colors to choose to what drought friendly plants that would complement the property to reassuring us that now would be the right time to sell. Come October, we sold the condo and have settled into our property on the Peninsula. I would recommend Julie and Pete with zero reservations, they are absolutely amazing at their craft, wonderful people, and truly treat you like family. My husband and I still connected with Julie and Pete a year after we moved into our property and are staying in touch about home updates, our garden, some DIY's and we feel just as close as we were when we first met them. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will treat you as one of their own family members you don't need to look anywhere else, I recommend Julie Baumann and Pete Baumann at Compass.

We interviewed three realtors and we selected Wilson because we agreed with his vision as to how to prepare our home for sale and his assessment of current market conditions. We were very pleased with the decision as we found out that Wilson has a strong team to support the preparation and sales process. A project plan was developed months in advance and for the most part all deadlines were achieved. Luis (contractor) and Priscilia (coordinator) prepared the house for sale on time and on budget. The staging firm did a great job in presenting our home. When necessary Wilson was alway available to answer our questions. The Open Houses took place as we planned months in advance and we were given an update at the end of each weekend. When offers came in Wilson and Cathy (Experttcs) helped us navigate through the negotiation process until we accepted a bid that met our target. We were then introduced to Michele (Director of Ops) and Aldolfo (escrow officer of WFG Title Co.) to guide us through the closing process. Their assistance made the paperwork burden as painless as possible. We were happy with the entire process and impressed with how the Own Team worked together to get the job done. We deducted a 1/2 star because the lateral sewer work mandated by the city was delayed for weeks because the plumber that OWN uses was not available. This caused a delay in closing. My recommendation to OWN is to expand the list of plumbers the company can use. Also, we were assigned an original coordinator with whom we did all the pre-planning. However, when execution time arrived we discovered she left the company. Thankfully Priscilia stepped in and everything worked out fine.

Review for Julie Halpin and Lana Pierce I'm compelled to…read morewrite this review because I want to warn other potential buyers/sellers so that they do not have a terrible experience during a time that is already so stressful. Please take the time to interview and select a realtor that is there to support you and have your best interest in mind, and not their financial gains. Buying a house should be a time of joy and excitement - my husband I have been working very hard to save so that we could get a house for our kids. Our experience with Julie Halpin and Lana Pierce was extremely unpleasant - they cared only about their best interest and did not treat us with respect. My husband and I had been searching for a home in the peninsula area for weeks, using our good friend, a realtor based in SF. One of the listing agents we met at an open house recommended that we get a local agent instead of using our SF friend - said that the local agent could then give a referral fee to our realtor friend who had been helping us. A friend gave me Julie Halpin's info because she was local - I met with Julie and explained our situation - without me asking, Julie offered to give our realtor friend a referral fee in the event that we purchase a house with her. I felt much better about switching to a different realtor from our friend (who had helped us tremendously already), knowing that he would still receive some benefit. After working with Julie for a week, we were not very satisfied - she never tried to understand exactly what we were looking for and when putting in an offer on a house that we had already seen prior to meeting her, she was sloppy - did not inform us when she submitted the offer and forgot to include the cover letter I had written (which I learned when I asked her to forward me the offer submission). We did not get that house and we were planning to search for a different local realtor, but then Julie showed us another house that same day that we liked enough and put in an offer -it was accepted so we were now in contract with Julie as our agent in purchasing a house (this was after one week of working together). During closing, I informed Julie that we were going to use our SF realtor friend to list our condo after we close on the house. She then rescinded her offer to give a referral fee to him because she said she was under the impression that she would get to represent us on the sell-side - although this was never discussed during our meeting. I was very upset with her for going back on her agreement - she knew she would never have gotten my business if she had not offered the referral fee - and now that we were in contract, she wanted to keep everything - close to $50K - referral fee would've been 25% of that amount. Given the situation, I reached out to Lana Pierce, her broker/manager. Lana was rude and insulting towards me - only wanted to defend Julie and did not care to understand my side. She kept saying that it was a broker to broker issue and that I should not be involved. After the closing, I sent them both another email inquiring about the referral fee and they did not respond back at all. I am so appalled by the whole situation, so shocked by their lack of professionalism, and hurt by their unscrupulousness. Buying a home is a very big event. I wish I had taken the time to find someone honorable instead of working with the first local agent that I met with. What should have been a time of celebration for me and my family has been one of great disappointment.

I wanted to share a story about how I misjudged someone…read more.. I had my doubts about Stanley Lo. If I'm being honest, I'd have to admit I had a complete aversion to Green Banker. His advertisements were ostentatious. His outfits were silly. However, after mediocre experiences working with some of the Bay Area's (alleged) top agents, my husband urged me to give Stanley a chance. So I did... From the onset of our relationship, Stanley Lo proved me wrong. At our first meeting, I was (pleasantly) surprised & (begrudgingly) impressed by his business acumen. I liked that he was upfront, experienced, well-connected, intelligent, and entirely professional. My husband pointed out that, "He answers his phone every time I call him." -- and it's true! He works all hours of the day. Despite my reservations, Stanley Lo turned out to be one of the hardest-working men I've ever met. Additionally, his dedication to selling my house was unparalleled. In his recent mailing, he wrote: "Behind every escrow is a story -- often a challenging one. This year alone, I helped many homeowners resolve issues such as: Difficult disclosure and inspection issues Appraisal and financing complications Title and permit problems Buyer and seller contract disputes Complex legal and HOA matters and other major roadblocks that could have cost clients time, stress, and significant money In every case, my mission is the same: Protect the homeowner, solve the problem, and close smoothly -- while saving clients as much money and stress as possible. When needed, I go the extra mile: researching solutions, leveraging decades of expertise, and using my unique network to resolve issues that many agents cannot." So, I am here today to attest that his claims are not just lip service; he really does go the extra mile and delivers. I can't tell you how many things he did that I'm certain no other agent would (or could) have done. For example, he arranged for an international notary to help us process an online power of attorney. He helped mediate family disputes. He relentlessly nagged stakeholders until the job was complete. And he didn't stop calling until the deal was closed. The tasks he performed were far beyond the scope of a typical REALTOR. And for that, I am incredibly grateful. Mr. Lo, I wanted to say that I am sorry that I misjudged you. I was very wrong. It's clear to me now that your success is completely well-founded and deserved. You have my utmost respect and I intend to enthusiastically recommend you from this point forward. Thank you for all you did to sell my house! You were a true pleasure to work with!
