Natalie Swanson is a racist and prejudiced person. I am a brown man in the early 30s. I went to an…read moreopen house hosted by Natalie. When I walked in Natalie was talking to other visitors. Natalie stopped me from checking the house out and did not let me go upstairs. She made me wait for a few minutes while she completed her conversation with the others and then asked a dude (probably her assistant) to accompany me upstairs. The dude gave me creepy vibes and was keeping an eye on me all the time as he walked me around. It seemed like Natalie thought I might be there to steal as I walked into the open house myself. How racially motivated and prejudiced of her! Note that this was NOT an expensive multi million dollar home; this was a townhouse and had very few inexpensive items lying around. It was extremely rude and condescending of her to not let me walk around the townhouse by myself while I noticed that other visitors were able to walk around.

When it came down to purchasing our home, we were up against 6 other offers and I can't think of another agent I would have wanted to partner with on this purchase.

Diane was referred to me by family, and did an AMAZING job. She just sold my home (for more than…read moreasking!), which makes this the third home she has sold for my family. I had inherited the home she just sold after my mom passed away, and the amount of care, empathy, efficiency, and support she provided throughout the process made a stressful situation completely easy. Since I live out of the area, I had little time/interest in making any renovation decisions, and Diane understood and took full control by offering her advice and expertise. I'm grateful for this! Again, this was a difficult time for me and Diane made the experience a breeze. I cannot give her enough praise. She stood by my side through it all. I'm also incredibly impressed she was as attentive as she was considering this was sold in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Diane was creative and kept the sale on track. Thank you, Diane!!!

Diane is THE BEST!! Diane is super experienced, personable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, helpful,…read moreand dependable. She has a good rapport with all the other agents we talked to, and she is easy to work with. Diane helped us find a beautiful new home, in the location we wanted, within our budget. Buying a home is stressful, but Diane helped us through the process every step of the way. I especially liked how she listened to what we were looking for and guided us to homes that would be a good possibility... and didn't pressure us to look at homes outside our price range. She was super patient with us as we considered different homes, and even went the extra mile to let us view homes before, during, and even after the Open House. As a first time buyer, Diane gave us expert advice and insight into the market, everything from assessing homes, deciding on our offer amount, and helping us through the escrow process. She was always on top of things, and gently kept us on track as well. Highly recommend!!

Yvette Teng is the realtor you need! My spouse and I were looking for our first home together and…read morewere satisfied working with Yvette through this new adventure. We wanted a verified and authentic realtor that was reputable and found her! This review is not solicited; it is our honest review after four months of working with Yvette. BACKGROUND: - We were first-time home buyers in the Bay Area and needed a realtor with an experienced reputation. - We had a lot of questions and were very picky about finding a home; we did not want a house near a graveyard, school, and within earshot distance from a train. Yvette was very accommodating and patient with us in finding a home with these requirements and big-picture questions throughout the process. - We spent a few months touring homes with Yvette until we found one that met our standards and price range. - Yvette and her team helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. - This home purchase and escrow was completed before the National Association of Realtors July 2024 settlement on who pays buyer commissions. QUALITIES: - She had a high level of knowledge of the current housing market and the neighborhood we were interested in. - She frequently sent us great matches for what we were looking for. - She pointed out subtle things that we would have missed but were important for our decision process during home tours. - She was always flexible and available for home tours and phone calls. If she was not available for calls, she was very attentive through text messages. - She was strategic in setting and managing expectations on homes and the paperwork. - She was honest and transparent throughout the entire process. She treated the situation as if she were purchasing the property--she looked out for us and had our best interests in mind. - During the processes of the home search, bidding on homes, escrow and paperwork, moving into the home, and after moving into the home, Yvette was attentive and constantly checked in on us to ensure we were comfortable and informed. My family and I highly recommend Yvette Teng and her exceptional team. Home buying is incredibly stressful, but Yvette maintained a calm and confident mindset and kept our anxieties low. Her promptness, strategic mindset, positive energy, and knowledge of the market are why we will not hesitate to call Yvette when we are looking to buy again.

We have known Steve for quite awhile as a friend. When it was time to sell our home using him was a…read moreno brainer. He is a great guy so we were expecting a good experience but we got much more. He really knows what helps to attract buyers, what could be a waste of money and time as well as what upgrades are the most attractive to different types of buyers. Steve was really great at giving us thoughtful and on occasion very pointed advice, but always in the sincere interest in obtaining for us the best price for our home. But at the same time he always listened to our opinions as well as our concerns and when we disagreed on how aggressive to price the listing he did as we asked. When our first buyers backed out he kept us positive, and devised a strategy to keep our listing "fresh". It obviously worked since we received a much higher offer the second time around. Anyone who works with Steve is fortunate to have him on their side. In this crazy market Steve really knows how to navigate the complexities to his client's advantage.

In the world of insanely crazy markets you really need someone who knows what they are doing. It's…read morehard to buy real estate in the Bay Area and if you don't use a realtor who knows his craft you will get left behind. The wife and I were in the market to upgrade our home after 10 years in our old house and Steve was our realtor. We drug him all over looking at countless houses and made an offer on one finally. Steve kept us grounded didn't just let us blindly throw crazy offer at it and we missed out. It was hard , the emotional roller coaster was taxing. He knew exactly how to help us through that and keep our vision clear. He took us to many more homes we found another that was even better than the last one. Let's get crazy we said, blow everyone out of the water. Steve kept us grounded again and we made an offer. We got a steal, it was everything we wanted with a huge yard and we didn't way over pay. That was not the end, we had to get to closing and let me tell you what. He held our hand through the entire process and even helped us move. Well you can bet we gave him our old house to sell. Steve showed up daily while I got it ready to help make sure I did what I had to so we could maximize profit. We had hoped to get over 800 for our old house and we got over 1 mil. I know not every story will be so incredibly good but your chances are so much better when you use a realtor who is good. I have referred him to friends since and he has made them fans. Not only do you get local knowledge from a guy who has life long roots in Livermore but you get a realtor with a heart. Steve actually cares about you and wants to see you get all your dreams. He isn't just about the money but the service, the experience and the end result for his client. The energy level that he brings day one will be the same energy level he brings at closing , or moving day. All in all you get what you pay for , and in some cases you get more. With Steve you get more, and when it comes to the most expensive purchase you will ever make you would be a fool not to use Steve!

First time home buyer here and Megan was exactly who I needed to make it happen. After doing some…read moreresearch on my own I found the whole home buying process a bit overwhelming. My living situation at the time had become untenable and I really needed this ASAP. At the same time, however, I have a stressful job and adding more stress to my dwindling free time was an agonizing concept. I'm mid forties now and find myself, more and more, growing weary of the world. So naturally, I'd been dragging my feet for months when a friend, somewhat forcefully, referred me to Megan. Still, I managed to procrastinate a few weeks more before being strong-armed into finally reaching out. My only regret, and I don't say this lightly, is not reaching out sooner. Once Megan was at the helm all the chaos in my head became a streamlined process that saw me living in my very own home, start to finish, just over two months later. It could have been even sooner had it not been for my own indecisiveness. Megan's wealth of knowledge and experience, her many connections within the industry, as well as her patience, attentiveness, and empathy were invaluable throughout the process; the latter traits being key for me. From the get go it is apparent that Megan is enthusiastic and motivated while I am, well... not so much. In fact, for me enthusiasm adds to what is already a stressful situation by my perception. The fact that Megan so quickly brought herself down to my level and matched my pace speaks volumes about her awareness and compassion. So if you're excited about the process she undoubtedly will be too, but if you're struggling with the idea of adding a life altering and lengthy process to your already chaotic life, rest assured, she is still the right choice and will see you through. Megan's knowledge and connections proved pivotal as well. She had an answer to every question and prepared me well in advance for all contingencies. Before I found Megan, I had begun seeking pre-approvals through a couple mortgage lenders I thought were good picks. Turns out I had much to learn. Through one of her many contacts I was immediately presented with a substantially better offer by way of a grant. Then, after jumping through the hoops of obtaining a fully underwritten pre-approval, once I saw the final numbers on paper I realized my priorities were skewed and I really needed a lower interest rate over grant money. A rate this lender couldn't provide. With zero frustration or hesitation Megan was ready with another lender that fit my needs. I say 'zero frustration,' but I'd be surprised if there was none. Anyone would be frustrated at a client upending a weeks long process to start at square one. All I noticed was an eagerness to solve the problem. As an aside, that new lender was perfect. Not only did I receive a rate so good the previous lender was a little surprised, Alicia, the new lender was again just a perfect fit for me on a human level. Megan knows good people. Not surprising. When all was said and done and I met Megan at my new home to be handed the keys to my new life, she offered congratulations and words of encouragement in a way that befit my outlook of relief over excitement. Once inside I discovered a thoughtfully arranged array of welcoming gifts. I had previously mentioned how I was a bit of a neat freak and was looking forward to having my own kitchen; that after a long period of costly meal prep services, I'd finally being able to cook again. There were spices and olive oil, various cooking utensils, a cookbook along with cleaning supplies, and even snacks. All things that truly eased my transition as I began shifting my life into new quarters. Such a thoughtful gift from such a considerate person. I feel so much gratitude for my friend who referred me to Megan, for those Megan referred me to, and most of all, for Megan being the professional, compassionate, diligent, and caring human being that she is. Thank you.

John is easy to talk to and always available whenever we had questions or needed guidance, which made a big difference since this process can be extremely challenging at times. His knowledge of the neighborhood is exceptional--so much so that other realtors often rely on his expertise and insights about the local market. Communication was always clear and professional. He kept us informed every step of the way! John's dedication, expertise, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. He organized every step of the process and made everything run smoothly. Having chosen him as my realtor for a second time, I can say that I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, John!

Throughout the years, my wife and I have bought and sold our homes many times. We've used realtor…read morefriends as well as realtor acquaintances. However, when we moved to the Montage community in Livermore during the height of the pandemic, we knew that we had to use JR because as ugly as those yellow signs are, you can see them from a mile away. When John says that he is the #1 selling agent in Montage and that he is an "area specialist", those are just facts. The countless times I have walked my dogs, I can only think of less than a handful of days when I did not walk past one of his aforementioned signs or even John for that matter. John is knowledgeable and understands the market. He also knows how to list prices and how to work with other agents to bring more interest to your house. The attention to detail, promptness, and communication were why we chose John over other realtors. I showed my offer to my agent assisting me in buying a home out of state and he was impressed with what John was able to negotiate. At the end of the day, if you need a realtor in Montage or Livermore, especially if you are selling, John is the first call you should make. It also helps that he is local.
