Over the years, my friend group has actually used Paul and Jade for various purposes (5 purchases and 1 sell) and there's a reason we keep coming back! Paul made the process as easy could be in the tough Bay Area market. He made a stellar recommendation for a lender, which also went smoothly despite an out-of-my-control problem with a balcony. Regardless, Paul made it work and was clear and communicative the whole way. Paul was super easy to work with, always available, gave clear advice/instruction, and really put the control in my hands throughout the process. No complaints at all, and I've been very happy. I've also been thrilled with the contractor recommendations he's made (cleaning and moving so far), and as my friends have reported, they are happy as well. Paul has been around the area long enough to know the market well and to know where to go to get things done. Overall, I'd recommend him and his team to anyone. Thanks Paul!

He got to work right away with prepping the house (connecting us with contractors, stagers, and landscaping), creating the marketing, and keeping us in the loop along the way of any documentation we needed to complete. He and his team were great at making sure we had all the things ready when we had interested buyers. We got multiple offers after our first weekend and closed in 21 days 26K OVER asking!

I was terrified of the paperwork involved; and this is where Judy proved most helpful. The documentation, always onerous when selling a house, was manageable, easy to follow and done electronically.

As part of the probate, I was named executor of my late uncle's estate. One weekend, I received a…read morecold call from Karron Martin inquiring about the house in Oakland. Normally, I don't take cold calls but Karron listened to my concerns on the house, asked questions, was thoughtful in her responses and won me over in that conversation. We discussed the strategy in getting the home prepared and listing strategies. My uncle's home was purchased in the late 1950s and had not really performed any improvements and over the years hoarded many of his possessions. The sale of this house was going to be a project. The added complexity was I was based in San Jose and the work ahead was daunting. Karron assured me that she could do much of the heavy lifting of getting the house ready and limit my need to travel to Oakland. Karron sought out vendors who could empty and clean the house as well as dispose of 3 non-functional cars. She also selected the most reputable inspectors to reduce any friction in the selling process. She met with all the vendors in person and facilitated quotes and reports. Karron was incredibly responsive, communicative and detail oriented during the entire listing. The listing was not going to be a typical sale between the probate and home condition. She was very educated in probate sales and knowledgeable in the kind of buyer and loan we were going to need from a viable buyer. She also spent time educating me on what to expect -- we had a number of "tire kickers" or "low ball" offers come through. I appreciated the context and also not encouraging to tie up the property with a 3rd party buyer who had no intention in actually buying. Between August to December, we ended up with 22 offers and only 2-3 viable offers. We worked collaboratively and strategized throughout the listing. She gave me such relief and comfort. I would not hesitate recommend or use Karron again. She's a true real estate professional and all around good people.

This accolade is a tad overdue, but very much deserved. If you want, or need an honest, moral,…read moreethical, straight shooting, real estate agent who seriously knows her "shtuff", and will provide you with the highest level of impeccably "WOW" customer service, Karron Martin of Better Homes and Gardens Realty is your person. If you are a first time, or experienced home buyer, or looking to sell, in my humble opinion, Karron is the whole package. Here is my story, from a "first time" homebuyer's perspective. My journey with Karron (more aptly put, our journey) began in May 2018. Karron was one of three agents referred to me through the Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services organization. I interviewed each agent, looking for answers on how they manage their business and clients. Karron was the second of the three and before the end of our conversation, I knew that I wanted her to be my "buyer's" agent. My conversation with the third agent only reinforced that decision. When buying a home, working with an agent is a collaboration. Any buyer, and especially a first time homebuyer needs to understand this. Both your agent and you have to do your respective homework. Before even talking about the particulars of a home, Karron first learned about me and eventually my sister (we bought the home together). She then learned the size, type and location of where we wanted to buy (notice that I did not say "price"), Karron immediately provided me with a short list of loan officers who she felt could be a good fit with respect to my scenario, and gave me the task to talk with them to determine who I felt would be the person whom my sister and I would be comfortable working with. Karron did not just give me the list and say, 'Go have at it'. She primed me with things I should be looking and listening for. For details around that, I encourage you to talk with her as each person's buying needs are different. With her tutelage and my due diligence, I found our loan person. Karron found us a home. We opened escrow, but some days after, I was leveled with a huge financial roadblock. It was an unexpected one that raised its ugly head and completely blindsided me after we were in contract to buy. It obliterated my side of our ability to qualify for the loan (for which we were already qualified, with a pre-qualification letter in hand). This caused the deal to fall through. In addition to my credibility, my sister and I had huge potential to lose our cash deposit. Because Karron wrote solid buyer protection contingencies into the contract, 100% of our deposit was returned to us, no questions asked. After that hiccup, most agents would have tossed my sister and me to the side and moved on to the next perspective client, but Karron did the opposite. Despite the time and effort she invested in finding the home and helping us get to the point of contract, combined with the facts that she had to inform her broker, and more electrifying, the selling agent (who was very unhappy with the news as the home was vacant, had been on the market for some time, the owners had moved out of state, bought in their new location and were making two mortgage payments), Karron was encouraging and unwavering in helping me to find the solutions to my issue. It took six months, but I prevailed and overcame that obstacle. When I called Karron, it was as if we never missed a beat! She got right back in the saddle, helped us find and close a deal on an even better home at a comparable price! That escrow went seamlessly. We closed in short order and are enjoying our new and "Better Home"! All things happen for a reason. Long write up, I know, but Karron is worth it. Karron is an outstanding person and real estate agent. I recommend her without reservation and will gladly be a live testimonial if you ask her for references. Happy home hunting! Last but not least, this was written from a buyer's perspective. As a future home seller, I have just as much confidence in her ability to represent my interest as a seller as well!
