We hired Robert to represent us in an off-market sale of a house in Santa Rosa. We had lived there as renters for some time and had already agreed on a price with the owner. We brought Robert on as our lawyer to guide us through the entire sale and escrow process. Robert answered all of our questions, coordinated with the other attorney and the title company, and made sure we paid attention to important details, such as the fire readiness survey. The escrow closed this week, and we're extremely happy with the guidance and oversight he provided throughout the process. read more

I found myself as a buyer in a FSBO transaction but was completely blind to what the process would entail. I both googled who the best real estate lawyer would be for the transaction, as well as asked around for word of mouth recommendations, and both resulted in Robert Bialkin as being The Guy for the job. Robert was super responsive to emails, texts and phone calls. He explained the process before I even retained him, and clarified each step along the way. He was not only thorough and prompt, but also well organized, and connected (which made things like selecting inspection, title company, etc easier). Whenever I was unsure about something (contingency, how to negotiate based on findings from inspection), Robert explained which course of action would be most beneficial to my best interest. For future, I think I would conduct all FSBO transactions with a real estate attorney in lieu of agents, and I would definitely go to Robert as my first choice in getting the job done. I've already referred him to friends who are looking to close on a similar transaction. 10/10 would recommend/will be a returning customer. read more

Robert is both a masterful attorney, real estate agent, and a wonderful "hand holder." This is my third private home sale and he made the transaction as seamless and easy as it could possibly be.

Robert has been amazing in guiding us through the process of selling our house off-market. I would give him a 10 if I could! He's very thorough, knowledgeable, and responsive. He kept us informed of the process every step of the way until the final closing. If the off-market deal had fallen through we would have been completely comfortable in using Robert as a realtor to sell our home. He has the extra knowledge, training, and experience to act as a realtor and/or a real-estate attorney. I always felt that Robert was very generous with his time and knowledge. He acted on our behalf to expedite the transaction. I would highly recommend Robert Bialkin for buying or selling your home. read more

I have been an attorney for over 35 years but don't specialize in real estate law. I needed a specialist for a private RE sale. I found Robert incredibly knowledgeable and extremely responsive. Although the deal fell apart because of the buyers, Robert and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty, providing the required docs for my signature (via Docusign) and answering questions of the very inexperienced attorney on the buyers' side. He was creative and patient and I highly recommend his services. read more

Robert and his team were the best we could have come across! New to the area, I was fortunate that Robert was the one to show us the home we loved! Upon meeting him he was always honest, knowledgeable, and it was beyond helpful that he is so familiar with the area because he grew up here so that is always a plus...sometimes it's who you know.

Buying our home was such a smooth process and we are in love! Been here 3 months now. read more
