Had such a great experience working with Darrin through the process of selling my home! This was my…read morefirst time going through it, and it came at a really difficult time after the loss of my father. Darrin was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout. He made sure the entire process felt as easy and low-stress as possible for me and my family. He handled everything end-to-end, kept us informed, and always got our input when needed -- but overall made it a very hands-off experience, which was exactly what I was hoping for. We were also pleasantly surprised by how quickly everything moved. Once the home hit the market, it sold at a price we were happy with and closed in just over a month. I truly felt taken care of the entire time and would absolutely recommend Darrin and his team!

As first-time homebuyers, we were incredibly nervous and had a million questions, but Nicole was…read morepatient, honest, and hands-on throughout our entire journey. We cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, Nicole's communication was absolutely outstanding. She kept us informed every single step of the way, answered every question quickly, and made sure we always knew exactly what was happening.Real estate transactions can be incredibly overwhelming, but Nicole's constant availability and reassurance took all the stress out of the experience. What meant the most to us was her honesty and integrity. She was always completely upfront, gave us realistic market expectations, and truly had our best interests at heart. She never pushed us into a quick decision just to close a deal; instead, she acted as a true advisor and advocate. If you want an agent who is professional, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Nicole--she is simply the best!

Todd did a great job helping us sell our home remotely, after we moved to another part of…read moreCalifornia. He thought that we could sell the house for more than I initially thought, and we listed at that price. He scheduled all the improvements we wanted done to the house before listing, including painting, cleaning, landscaping, and staging, and made sure that we managed to list the house on the targeted date, despite some delays in the improvements. He was patient in explaining the range of offers, along with the pros/cons of each offer, and the contingencies in play. He also gave one last chance to the buyers to improve their offers based on the best set of terms we had in the first round of offers, which helped us get a faster close and a higher price for the offer we accepted. We were happy with the final price we got, which was about 6% over the listing price. He also helped us tie up some loose ends by forwarding our mail when USPS didn't get the forwarding right, and taking out our trash cans since we overlooked doing that before we moved. Overall, great service from a real estate professional with a lot of experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Todd.

It went pending in SIX days from original listing date with offers submitted in the first 24 hours of listing - DURING COVID!! I ended up getting almost 5% OVER ASKING which is HUGE $$ for a home sale in the Bay Area (Concord). You should absolutely select him as your realtor for your home sale but even more important, listen to his recommendations. He's got great ideas that will help move your home SO FAST!! Todd, I cannot thank you enough for the effort and diligence you put into every detail of selling my property. You showed up with gloves on and your toolbox to help me fix up and beautify my home (which was no easy task). You were there to coordinate and oversee all the upgrade work being done while I was out of the state, moving myself and my daughter on to our new life adventure. You acted as not only my realtor - but my general contractor! You are truly the embodiment of 'doing it all.' And you did it with a smile, a kind heart, and reassurance! You thought of everything and kept me apprised with updates at every step and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this move easy for me, and for preparing and selling my house during the most extreme economic times (COVID-19). You will always have my highest recommendation to any friends and family looking to sell their home in the Bay Area. I appreciate you!

Andrew and Leslie are the best in town, absolute legends. They helped us secure our house in…read moreBlackhawk in 2018. Andrew got us the deal of a lifetime on this place and we could not be happier! That was our first home buying experience and Team Lowe set the bar pretty high. Over the years I recommended the Lowe team out to numerous friends and colleagues, each time they delivered the same high-quality service. Consistently proven results. Flash forward to 2021, I approached Andrew asking for his assistance in an investment property, but I was a bit priced out of California. Andrew asked me if I ever considered out of state. In a period of a few weeks, Andrew located the perfect property for me in Georgia. Without me ever stepping foot in the state Andrew arranged for everything and we closed on a beautiful 1.5-acre property with a 3 bed 2 bath that was immediately cash flow positive. Effortless transaction. All the negotiations, inspections, property management company, I mean everything, all handled by Andrew. I didn't lift a finger. I would absolutely recommend Team Lowe over and over again.

We had an amazing experience with Andew and Leslie. Key differentiator here is we truly felt like…read moreone family throughout. Andrew was like a brother to us who is impeccably honest and sincere. He is very upfront with all details throughout the journey and made it of least stress on our side. Leslie is a true artist when it comes to staging and look finishing not to mention her compassionate attitude! I can't forget how many times Andrew saved us by personally fixing things at our home and showed up immediately when we needed him... Overall, I recommend them to the fullest!

We chose to work with John because he was actually the listing agent when we originally purchased…read moreour home. He was helpful and knowledgeable about the home and local market when we attended the open house and we were very impressed with his work. After a poor experience with our buyer's agent, my husband and I said we would make sure to contact John when it came time to sell our home. And about 5 years later, in a much different market, we contacted John to help us list our home. He was extremely responsive and communicated well throughout the process. There were a few hiccups in escrow - not due to John's fault, but due to a rapidly changing market - and he made sure to communicate promptly and directly and provide us with our options. Every time I had a question, it seemed that John read my mind and sent a text - even if it was on a Sunday! We really appreciated working with him throughout the process and how well he communicated. While we are no longer Bay Area residents, we wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell in the East Bay - he is the best!

I had planned to buy my first home sometime within the next few years, but after hearing so much…read moreabout how low the mortgage interest rates were and how now was the time to buy, I accelerated my timeline and began looking for a home in the East Bay. I was focused on Berkeley, Emeryville and Oakland and expressed interest in a BMR (Below Market Rate) unit in Emeryville. John quickly respond to my inquiry. He helped me view the condo, learn about the details involved with a BMR and provided answers to any questions I had along the way. As a first time prospective home-buyer I had a lot of questions! But he was always friendly, attentive, and patient with me. We looked at several places together before I settled on the place I really wanted, a really amazing condo at the Pacific Cannery Lofts in Oakland. John represented me through the entire transaction, getting me a killer deal on the place (on our first offer)! He helped me with all the details of the negotiations, was in attendance at all inspections, guided me through the escrow process, and continuously checked in with me throughout. He first priority was always to have me feel comfortable with any decisions that were made, either by me or by the seller. I consider myself both a New Yorker and a Bay Area native, having lived in both places for big chunks of my life and I'd say that John combines the best attributes of both Coasts: fast, no-nonsense, direct, and has your back -- yet also patient, personable, kind, funny, and always a pleasure to talk to and spend time with. I wouldn't hesitate one second to recommend John to someone looking for the first home, their next home, or their last home. I am incredibly happy with my place, paid an amazing price for it, and found the entire process to be as stress-free as one could possibly hope for. And I owe this all to John.

So..... I'm a fellow realtor and I've closed deals with Mike…read morein the past, he's always been easy to work with which I appreciate. This yelp is about the character of a person, Mike showed me today that he's the real deal. He didn't know that he was interacting with me. I like to lie low in my rare downtime. So this is what happened. I was at our local Safeway deli waiting to order 3 sandwiches and boy the line was not moving! We waited for at least 30 mins to get to the counter and just as I approach Mike strolls in gets in the front of the line because he had a phone in order. The clerks hadn't made his sandwich either because they were so busy but started his. He started chatting and quickly realized that the rest of us had been waiting quite a while. He said to the clerk as he was being rung up "I'd like to pay for all their sandwiches", I immediately said, oh wow thank you but that's not necessary. Nope he insisted and proceeded to pick up the tab. I asked for his name (knowing in my mind who he was already although never meeting in person before), I told him my name, we shook hands wished each other well for the day and went about our day. In a world where you can be anything, and often times I'm short or stressed, BE KIND! It was a pleasure to see that and receive that today from Mike! Class act all the way, proving once again all realtors are not the same. Thanks Mike! Till we meet again buddy! My son was excited to tell his dad about the "cool" guy that paid for his sandwich. Next one is on me!

With the constant changing laws and rules of real estate you can count on them to be organized and efficient in every detail.

These seminars are held on the second Saturdays of the month. I am in the early stages of planning to buy a home. I know some things, but definitely not everything and was looking to learn more. The seminar was very helpful with Mark in attendance who answered many questions I had about the buying process during the presentation. He explained some of the nuances like home inspections, appraisals, warranties, etc. They also had a lender in attendance to help explain more about the lending side of things. I would encourage those looking to be informed on the process to attend one of their seminars. I appreciated their time!

He was detailed in his explanations, answered all our questions, and persistent in following up with the sellers agent, Bill Pegg. Through his persistence and good relations with the sellers agent, we were able to get a new sewer lateral completely replaced even though the seller wanted to sell the property "as is." Mark, your firmness, perseverance, and staying the course till the end are greatly appreciated. We have learned a lot from you, and thank you again for being patient with us as first-time home buyers. We guarantee you that you will be our agent of choice when we consider our next purchase. Once again, both Vicent and I would like to thank you for all your help in making our buying process a success. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking at buying a property.

Mark did a killer job helping us find a wonderful house in Oakland, even through the pandemic…read morerestrictions. We met Mark at an open house he was running in Richmond about 2 weeks before the world started shutting down. We got together over Zoom, where he took the time to learn about us, what kind of house we were looking for, our concerns, our budget -- and to answer a boatload of our questions. From that point all the way through closing (even beyond, really) he was a rock. We were repeatedly impressed by his work ethic (I couldn't believe the timestamps on some of his emails), his reliable and fast communication, and the care and patience with which he shepherded us through the process. We ultimately bought a home that was being sold by the owner directly -- a process that basically meant Mark was doing the job of two realtors (cleaning up the seller's mistakes). Mark managed it expertly and without complaint. I can't imagine having a better house-buying experience.
