I recently bought a property in Campbell with John's help…read more John is always helpful, sincere and responsive. I was a first time buyer and started with little knowledge on housing market, but he guided me in every aspect, connected me to other professional people (loan, insurance, etc), and answered all my questions quick even at night/weekend. We visited many properties together and his opinion helped me understand positive/negative side of each one. He has never been pushy, and careful not to make a customer overpay for a property, especially at bidding process where a buyer tends to lose composure. I am thankful for all his help and would recommend him to anyone looking for a house in Bay Area.

After buying the house with Alan a few years back we knew then that when it will be time to sell…read morethe house we will do it with Alan. We met with Alan and he listen carefully to our wishes, he gave us a direction, some advice and together we agreed what will be the right way to put the house on the market. Alan imminently took the lead, brought over the contractors, prepared the house for the Open House and made it so nice that we even had second thoughts if we should actually want to sell such a nice house. He handled the open houses professionally! We really didn't do much, Alan lead the process from A to Z, send us a daily updates and sold the house within a week with a much higher price than we asked for. Alan is a professional, knowledgeable and an amazing person.

He was able to steer us away from some costly fixers that we were taken in by. Alan is willing to be patient with his clients. He worked with us for two years while we saved, learned where we wanted to buy, and found just the right thing. He is the right mix of proactive and responsive, without being salesy or pushy in any way. He was a trusted partner for us. When we did find a home we liked, Alan went above and beyond to ensure that we got cash back to cover items that inspectors found, that we got rent back dollars, and even a new washing machine when it turned out that the one in the home had a leak. It's clear that Alan takes great pride in ensuring that he sets up his clients with quality homes they can depend on and build their families in. I don't think you can do better than Alan when buying a home in the Peninsula!

When it came time to sell my childhood home in Sunnyvale CA, I couldn't have asked for a better…read morerealtor to handle the sale than Howard Bloom. A few years ago, I witnessed Howard's handling the selling of my husband's mother's home in Los Altos, CA. I was intrigued and impressed with his process. From the moment we connected about the Sunnyvale home, he gladly accepted the challenge. Because I'd seen him in action and respected his professionalism, I trusted his judgment and guidance 100%. Selling a home with so much sentimental value was an emotional journey for me. Howard made the process seamless and stress-free; he truly cared. His market knowledge was incredible. He provided brilliant guidance on pricing strategy and marketing tactics. Howard put together a plan, then went above and beyond to showcase the unique features of my home, highlighting its history and charm. His follow-through is second to none. Communication was always quick and clear; Howard was available for my every question. He demonstrated a true commitment to ensuring my satisfaction and comfort throughout the entire transaction. He made it fun! Thanks to Howard's expertise and dedication, my childhood home received an unprecedented 29 offers and SOLD very quickly and at a price that far, FAR exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the transaction closed ahead of schedule. I am immensely grateful for Howard and his team's outstanding service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Thank you, Howard, for helping me close this chapter of my life with grace and ease. You're not just a great realtor; you're a true partner and friend. It is clear you love what you do, and I am grateful to know you. Sincerely, Nancie Tothero Roth

Jason was quick to get our home on the market so we could capitalize on the hot Bay Area housing market. He advised us what we needed to do--or not do---to prepare our home in order to get the best return on our sale. Everything went smoothly--and our house sold in 3 days--over asking price-- and this was all during the Pandemic! We could not have done this without Jason's help. He guided us through this process and made selling our home as easy as possible. We highly recommend Jason if you are selling or buying a home as he is a true professional.

From the very first phone call, Travis went above and beyond for my husband and me as first time…read morehomebuyers. He was incredibly clear, patient, and meticulous throughout every part of the process. He brought up important things for us to consider that honestly never would have crossed my mind, and that made such a huge difference in helping us find the right home. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared. At no point did we feel like he was just trying to rush us into a quick close. He truly wanted us to be happy and confident in our decision, and you could feel that every step of the way. Even after closing, he continued making time for us and helped expedite so much post purchase care and support. On top of being so knowledgeable and educational throughout the process, he is also just an incredibly kind and friendly person. He makes you feel comfortable immediately, which means so much during such a big life moment. I genuinely cannot wait to work with him again in the future. If you are looking for the right realtor, stop searching and contact Travis. I can confidently say he is the perfect choice.

As a buyer, he genuinely cared about making sure I could get a home in my price range that I was happy with. There was zero pressure and zero up-selling. His diligence and proactive advice allowed my wife and I to quickly make an offer and close on a house that exceeded our expectations. Within a day of us viewing the house, he was already in contact with the seller's agent and gave us outstanding guidance on how to position our offer. His guidance was spot-on and saved my wife and I a good amount of money. Even after closing, Travis has helped us coordinate work around the house with his contacts. I cannot recommend Travis enough.

Tim Proschold has far exceeded our expectations. If you take one thing away from this Review, I…read morehope it will be to set your own expectations high for your realtor. This applies to both skill set and ethics. First, beyond 20 years of experience, Tim brings an additional set of highly relevant skills. His Civil Engineering background helps identify problems immediately, even prior to and including Disclosures, from which he can provide early estimates for repairs or upgrades, saving time and sharpening decisions. Tim's many years as a manager of other Realtors lead to insights into their skills and strategies and so helps to ensure an Offer is accurately positioned and its submission strategically timed. As a Licensed Mortgage Broker, Tim has also been able to conveniently provide loan packages and secure Interest Rates well below what we see commonly advertised. Along this line Tim also ethically recommends that we check his prices against other Lenders, not profitable to himself, to ensure we're getting the absolute best rate possible. Tim's response to our home interests, sometimes inexplicable even to ourselves, is always respectful and acting immediately or on the same day on our behalf. And yet, again ethically, he reminds us how longer-term seasonal shifts in inventory and related pricing can favor our waiting. Tim has been vastly informative, helpful, good-humored, generous, and has never suggested we go over our budget. We will never underestimate his value. Tim did not request this Review.

He's a straight shooter, thorough, and a man of integrity. Tim gracefully guided us through the clean-out, prep, repairs, inspection reports, mounds of paperwork, and made selling an effortless process. In addition, Tim was always a complete pleasure to work with. Can't say enough great things about him and would highly recommend Tim to anyone needing a realtor. None of my siblings or I will hesitate to hire him again when we're ready to sell our homes in the future.
