I referred a good friend of mine to Laura for the selling of his house and the start of his…read moreretirement. He was very nervous about selling his home because it would be one of the largest transactions in his life. He was consolidating down to retire to northern California. He has been a longtime friend of mine and neighbor, and when it came time, he asked me what and how he should sell his home. I referred him to Laura Zeidan because of her reputation and experience that I have had with Laura. I can say that I fully trust that Laura would take care of my friend and his sale. During the process Laura educated my friend on all the processes to sell his house and get top dollar for it. My friend was very impressed with Laura's knowledge of not only the selling process but how to get the most for your house. She managed the project from start to finish, including the light remodeling that was done to capture a higher selling price for the property. My friend had a price in mind for his home of 40 years and was shocked that he ended up with almost 20% more than what he thought he would get for his house. I applaud Laura and her team on taking care of my dear friend and would recommend Laura to anyone selling or buying a home in this crazy market we live in. Thank you, Laura, for taking care of Tom

Catherine Hendricks, your French Realtor and Silicon Valley relocation expert, is a real pro and…read moreI'm glad I had her help. I had my eye on a piece of property which I had hoped to buy, and one day it appeared on the market. The sale was complicated by several factors - we have a hot market, the sellers were now an estate, and I was going to be buying the property by using my IRA account. All of these issues Catherine handled with ease. Even though the property was in a remote location an hour away from her office, she drove there and viewed it. She scheduled a coffee with the seller's agent so she could get more insight into the needs of the sellers. She advised me well as to how much to offer, what paperwork to attach to an offer, she handled all the extra processes with the IRA company, and she delivered the offer personally. She then negotiated well through the counter-offer process, and got me the property for far less than what I was prepared to pay. She "froze" out any other buyers by doing all this with extreme speed and expert negotiation. She assisted me thought the escrow process and our complicated closing could not have happened better or faster. Catherine is fantastic in what she does and how she does it, and I could not have been in better hands.

Our experience with Nicole & Lenny representing us as first time home buyers was absolutely…read morefantastic! They were kind, thorough, strategic, and just genuinely fun people to go on this journey with! I would also say, there are a lot of perks to getting a duo in terms of availability. They were beyond willing to see properties with us outside of our primary neighborhood that we initially told them we were looking in. It was more important to them that we found the RIGHT house. Nicole & Lenny also helped us navigate any complex home buying processes. Their willingness to walk line by line on contractual documents many times over was instrumental in helping us become more confident and crafting the most competitive offer as a team. In the end, we were able to have our offer accepted on a very competitive house due to their strategic prowess. They also put in a lot of work into orchestrating inspections and getting estimates for any repairs required. Their connections to local experts in the trades were second to none. Nicole & Lenny were strong negotiators and were really adept at balancing the buyer's needs while ensuring the transaction itself went smoothly. This is not always an easy balance to strike. They made the whole process fun and exciting, even during the stressful moments. We highly recommend them, especially for first-time home buyers. We're incredibly grateful for all their hard work and couldn't imagine working with a better team!

I hardly ever write reviews, but had to for Nicole. To say that she went above and beyond to…read moresecure us our dream home is a complete understatement. For context, we are first-time buyers and completely new to the insanity that is the Bay Area real estate market. It's incredibly important, especially if you're a first-time buyer in the Bay, to partner with a seasoned agent who is dedicated, communicative, transparent, and willing to go above and beyond. Nicole is all of this - and more. Over the course of 6 months, Nicole toured dozens of homes with us throughout the Bay. We never felt pushed or pressured into making an offer. Additionally, we were those clients who would change their mind last minute about placing an offer, and she was always supportive and validating - it was so clear she wanted us to find THE perfect home just as much as we did. When we finally found our dream single-family home in Berkeley, and placed an offer, Nicole's expertise and experience truly shined: she helped us craft an unbeatable offer, utilizing all of her tips and tricks as a seasoned agent. Our offer came out on top amongst multiple offers, without even having to go over our budget. This was all during the height of the COVID real estate boom, when it was seemingly impossible to get and offer accepted. Between offer-accept and close, there were a number of last-minute emergencies, namely due to miscommunications with the lender. Nicole went above and beyond by proactively advocating for us, taking the lead, and putting out these fires. I firmly believe we would have fell out of contract had it not been for Nicole's leadership and expertise here. Experience and expertise aside, Nicole is a warm and kind partner. She truly cares for her clients, and genuinely wants them to find their dream home. This kind of authenticity can be rare, and we were beyond lucky to have had her by our side this past year! Thank you Nicole!

How does Terry not have any reviews yet?! Anyone looking for an agent who listens, knows the area…read morelike the back of his hand, has amazing business skills, incredible work ethic, and amazing follow through should reach out to him. When we were looking for our new home in 2012, we went through 3 agents before finding Terry, by accident at one of his open houses. Too bad our current agent was too busy to meet us. We had a very small budget but he still showed us homes within our insane guidelines . When I found the house of my dreams, it was almost $300k above our original budget. Terry was able to lower the sale price, avoid a bidding war, put us in touch with a very knowledgable mortgage person, and close the deal in 14 days. A year later I called Terry asking for a referral for a contractor because I was worried our foundation was damaged. He offered to come by instead and check out a few doors and a small crack. He fixed all the doors, explained why the changes were happening, and reassured us that everything was up to code. Did I mention Terry does construction on his own investment properties and had an entire team ready at his disposal? Did I mention Terry helped me get my own business running in a new town by giving me very sound advice? My husband and I are obsessed and plan on doing all our future business through him, whether its a remodel, buying a new house, or investing in a property.

Needless to say, we once again called Terry to sell several of my parents rental properties, and once again he did not disappoint us. He had all the improvements made on a small budget, and quickly too. The houses were once again sold quickly and painlessly. Terry is honest, and keeps you informed...he is both professional, and friendly...and a smart negotiator.
