I'm so happy that I worked with Shawn! I'd been searching for almost a year to find a place that…read morewould meet some pretty specific requirements - a modern, single-family home on the peninsula with fiber internet, CAT6 networking, and a hot tub! Shawn not only exceeded these expectations (10 gigabit internet!?), but he helped me understand and navigate the entire process and was very responsive to any questions I had along the way. In the end, he helped me craft the perfect offer that was accepted on the first try against several competing offers, and I now own my dream home. Definitely couldn't have done it without him!

They say the devil works hard...but Shawn works harder!…read more As a first time home buyer, I can confirm that the bay area housing market can be challenging. Few homes for sale. Multiple offers on every home. Homes selling within days of being listed. Offers going way over ask. It was all true. But it didn't matter. Shawn & I went through 4 weeks straight of open houses. I think he sent 10 offers on my behalf. And the end result was a new single family home owned by me within 30 days of the start of my search. He is available anytime you need him, he promptly analyses the disclosures and provides notes, he can write up home offers faster than you can reply back to his text messages, and at the end of the day he'll do whatever it takes to help you win your home. If you want an agent that actually cares about you and tells you how it is - Shawn is your man. When you're hunting for a home in the bay area, "it may not be easy..." Shawn will tell you. But he'll also tell you that "you never know what will happen, so send in that offer!" And I'm glad we did! Thanks, Shawn!

We had an amazing experience with Brett's team once again when we sold our condo in San Jose. We…read morehave bought and sold multiple properties with Brett and each time the experience has been outstanding. Brett and Kim, both guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence--from pricing strategy and staging advice to marketing and negotiations. Their communication was always prompt and informative, keeping us in the loop without overwhelming us. What truly sets Brett's team apart is their personal touch. They genuinely cared about our goals and made us feel like a priority throughout. Selling a condo in current economy can be stressful, but with Brett's team on our side, the experience was smooth. If you're looking to sell your home and want someone who is not only incredibly skilled but also trustworthy and easy to work with, we wholeheartedly recommend Brett Jennings and the team.

Watch out! Brett and his company sends out SPAM emails!!!…read more Brett Jennings is the Founder of the company Real Estate Experts. According to one of his websites (bearealexpert.com): OUR LEADERSHIP Founded by Brett Jennings, a Harvard-trained negotiation expert, real estate investor, and award-winning home marketing specialist, Brett and his team deliver exceptional results with a 5 star service experience. In 2017, the Wall Street Journal recognized the team as one of the top 250 real estate teams in the USA. With over one million agents in the country, this prestigious award places Brett and his team in the top 1/10th of the top 1% in the country. OUR STRATEGIC PARTNER Real Estate Experts is a partner of Side, a San Francisco-based technology brokerage that exclusively works with industry-defining agents and supports their business development with state-of-the-art marketing, technology, administrative, and legal services. It turns out that their "state-of-the-art marketing" includes sending out unsolicited commercial emails, SPAM. I received a tremendously long SPAM email yesterday. It was sent from one of Brett's employees -- Shannon Markle -- from the domain therealexperts.com. The email contained her contact information so I called and asked how she obtained my contact information since I had never done business with her before. She said she didn't know and that her marketing team handles it for her. She offered to have my email address removed from the marketing list, which I appreciate, but I never should have been on it in the first place. Nonetheless, I'm sure 99% of you out there don't like SPAM. I don't. And because Brett and his company spammed me, I will take my real estate business elsewhere.

If you're looking to find a relator who cares about you and your home investment before, during,…read moreand after the closing, then look no further than Ryan. This is our second home purchase (first one in the Bay Area), and Ryan went above and beyond to make sure that we were supported throughout the entire process, even going as far to coordinate some home services prior to us moving in earlier this year. He still consistently checks in on us after 10 months (which is so reassuring and welcomed), and I'd recommend him 100%!

I have worked with many real estate agents across the country (WA, CA, TX), and I must say that…read moreRyan Greco is by far the absolute best. I cannot recommend him enough! I was looking to sell my condo in Communications Hill in San Jose, and I had several agents offer to help me. Though they had experience (and specifically sold many in my neighborhood) and competitive (and even discounted) commissions, Ryan's clear, quick, and consistent communication style, no-BS advice, and bar-raising service made selecting him as my agent a no-brainer. Ryan not only helped me understand the market we were in and the price I could expect, but also the types of buyers who are likely to be interested and the amount of updating and touch-ups needed. Ryan was both strategic and analytical when it comes to planning the sale, advising where I should invest some money to optimize the sale price and constantly checking our comps to see how we should position my property. But here's the kicker. He didn't just do some research on the computer - Ryan tapped his network and got handymen and painters to spruce up my property. He went to Home Depot and took care of some touch-ups himself. He even helped me resolve some issues with a previous tenant too! Ryan went far beyond what any other real estate professional I've worked with has ever done. In the end, we successfully sold the property on good terms and in good time, and all thanks to Ryan's expert advice and second-to-none, personal service. I could not imagine a better real estate professional, agent, advisor, and partner than Ryan. Thank you, Ryan! By the way, did I mention that I live abroad in Europe (was relocated from the Bay Area by my company) and was never in town throughout this process?

Eli and North Door Property Management have impressed me at every turn -- both as a real estate…read morebuyer and as someone finding tenants for my property. I chose Eli precisely because I wanted a partner in my real estate journey, and he has repeatedly delivered on that promise. In every interaction, I can clearly see his attention to detail, deep expertise, and genuine care. What's more, Eli's communication is always clear and thoughtful, and his objective guidance has repeatedly helped me to make more informed decisions. I've always felt supported and in good hands. He and his team are wonderful to work with, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a trusted long-term partner in real estate.

But the straight-up truth is he made it easier than my wife and I could have imagined it would be. On the many occasions where I called him, he answered the phone. When I got his voice mail he got back to me in a timely manner. Thoughtful and wise in the business he made the process go smoothly. If you need a guy who knows his way about the complexities of real estate purchases, may I humbly suggest you give Mr. Beyder a call for all of your home buying / selling needs. Thank you Eli for all that you did for us.

David Troyer and his team are truly the most amazing and efficient team we have ever worked with…read more Before meeting David and his team, we had encountered countless agents through many home showings and had worked with different agents when purchasing properties. Yet, we never felt that anyone truly stood out or offered something special--until we met David and his team when listing our home in Mountain View. That experience showed us the true value of having an exceptional real estate agent. The entire David Troyer team, including the wonderful and incredibly efficient Baidra, Ashley, Kristen, and David's partner, Mike Cabot, impressed us with their responsiveness, professionalism, and honesty. From the remodeling process and pricing strategy to the marketing plan, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. We were extremely happy with the level of service and attention to detail throughout the entire process. What made the experience truly special, however, was David himself. As a leader, he is extremely knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, and considerate. He always seems to know how and when to say the right thing, and he guided us through some very difficult moments with patience and understanding. He can be straightforward when necessary, while always remaining respectful and compassionate. When things did not go as planned and we ultimately decided to take our home off the market, many other agents might have become angry, disappointed, or even hostile. David, however, remained calm and collective. Instead of making us feel guilty about our decision, he genuinely tried to understand our perspective and make us feel better about it. He honored his word and put his clients' interests ahead of his own, even when doing so meant taking a personal loss. That level of integrity and character is incredibly rare. We have tremendous respect for David--not only as an agent and a leader, but most importantly, as a truly good human being. He embodies what those words should mean. We are incredibly grateful to David and his entire team, and we will remain loyal clients for any future real estate needs. We would wholeheartedly recommend David Troyer and his team to anyone looking for not just a great real estate professional, but someone who genuinely puts his clients first.

We happily recommend Mike and his team at Troyer & Cabot! We worked with them on the sale of my…read moremom's townhome after she passed away. The first meeting we had with them we knew this was the team to work with. They have extensive knowledge of my mom's townhome community of Cuernavaca in Mountain View. From day one, everything about managing the sale was so seamless. The staging that was done was incredible (thank you Emily - from their group!) and after one weekend of open houses, the townhome had many offers, well over asking. The best thing about Mike was that he is so personable and nice, extremely good at communicating and was so patient with our many questions during the sale process. Without a doubt, if you need a realtor in their area, call the Troyer & Cabot group!

We sold and bought a house with Michael Galli and his team and the experience was terrific !!…read more Let's start with the selling. We had interviewed two realtors before Michael, while both were competent and I am sure they would have done a reasonable job, they were missing the spark of enthusiasm and excitement of someone who truly loves their job and is great at it. The afternoon I called Michael he came immediately the same day. His enthusiasm for the job was infectious, he came up with a list of changes which would improve the house value. Clearing up the front yard, replanting grass in the back and the front yard. What flowers to put. What fencing to put, what interior / exterior paints to use which will resonate with most buyers. What lights etc. In a period of days and at a reasonable cost they were done and the house looked much better. Michael has a team working with him listing agent, contractors, land scapers, custodians, operations manager, stagers all of whom are super quick at their job and their vendors are all very reliable. The listing agent Bri apart from other things did a wonderful intro video to the house. The custodian Mani did a wonderful job in keeping the house amazingly spotless clean and did a lot of innumerable things like cleaning the hot tub, naming all the fruit trees, making a drawing in the chalkboard in the kids bedroom. Ola did a lot of day to day communication. She was on top of any message and had an amazing fast turn around time given any requirement. The proof of the pudding was in the selling. It was on the market for less than a week and we sold the house above our initial expectations.They kept everything in stellar condition till close and we closed on time. Won't think twice before hiring them again for the next time I have to sell. Coming to the buy side. Michael has a nose for what to look for in a house. Maybe houses which looked good to us Michael gave us sound reasons why it may not be great to live in however good it looks, and has all the bells and whistles. We zeroed in on a house which fit all our requirements and his team did a great job in understanding the demand and the pricing. Even post purchase Michael and team have very helpful advice on things which can be improved before moving in and also help us find the right vendors for the improvements we are making. I would recommend going with Michael Galli and Team for a stress free and rewarding home selling/buying journey in the Bay Area.
