If you've ever tried to sublease an office space, you probably know how stressful and…read moretime-consuming it can be. We've been trying to find someone to take over one of our offices for years. Over that time, we've worked with people who made big promises--but either they disappeared halfway through or just didn't follow through. Then came Gio. And honestly, he was heaven-sent. From the very beginning, he was different. He showed up, he stayed in touch, and most importantly--he followed through. Gio is the kind of professional who makes you feel like you're in good hands. He's consistent, easy to talk to, and always kept us in the loop. You never had to chase him for updates. Thanks to Gio, we were finally able to sublease the space--and more than that, we felt heard, supported, and prioritized throughout the whole process. He truly puts his clients first, and it shows. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and will see things through until the end, Gio is the one. Highly recommend.

For this interview, I contacted maybe 10 brokerages but only one decided to get back to me and actually not sending me away because "time"! The Daly City office of Better Homes and Gardens linked me to Gio and he didn't even blink to agree to meet with me. A week later my interview was done, printed and returned to the teacher. (I got an A but he way) Gio has been in the business for a while now and he's always available for the community. He works all around the Bay Area and also can guide people about property management and 1031 Exchange. He is such an expert in this matter that he even often gives talks and advice crowd during event. He also work with a great team going from loan officers to other Realtor. I would recommend him right away! I'm writing this review to let people know that behind the scenes, Gio is an amazing person and he's gonna do everything for his clients (and even just for the people who need help)

Bruno is kind, thoughtful, intelligent, organized, and a real expert in his field. He returns emails and phone calls, answers questions, make suggestions, and could not be more professional.

John helped us get it and done he never wavered in his persistence to help my wife and I start our lives. He was extremely responsive whenever we needed him to be and he was extra vigilant on new homes coming onto the market so that we could get first looks. He also went to bat for us numerous times against other selling agents. When John took a vacation, he set us up to work with Bruno Baldini who mirrored John's professionalism, courtesy and communication. This realty group is definitely reliable. I honestly feel that this group's expansive network and experience is what helped us land the best house within our budget.

It's probably not worth listing the particulars of our rental experience; ultimately we had a…read moremiscommunication/misunderstanding and Ray made it right by releasing us from the holding agreement. My advice, if you are looking to rent a home with Ray is to make sure you fully understand and inquire about the terms around the holding deposit, as well as the expectations of when you will need to sign a lease and provide a security deposit / first month's rent. In our experience in roughly 18 years of renting various homes/apartments/condos, his policies are a little different than other property managers. If you are comfortable with the policies (ask about the move out notice), I think that Ray's thorough service would make him an attentive property manager. I'd list him at 2.5 stars if yelp allowed it. To his defense, he was professional and quick to respond to our questions and inquiries.

For a little over three years, I leased a waterfront home in Foster City from Ray…read more As you'll find if you read the many "not recommended" reviews here on Yelp (please ALWAYS do this when you're checking out any business on Yelp!), Ray has many satisfied customers -- property owners and tenants alike. Count me in that group. When I first viewed the property, repairs and updates were underway. Ray communicated very clearly what was being done and what I could expect upon move-in, and when I occupied the house things were exactly as Ray had indicated. Ray's lease agreements include a detailed list of guidelines and requirements involving approved and disallowed cleaning products/chemicals inside the house, use of certain appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) while no one is in the house, etc. While this list can be off-putting, it's important to recognize that the list represents Ray's practical wisdom and insight Ray has collected over more than three decades in property management. As with any lease agreement, a tenant is welcome to ignore any of the particular conditions -- and, it's possible I veered slightly away from "the letter of the law" in one or two particulars...at my own peril. ;-) Over the course of my lease, I found Ray to be very engaged and attentive each time I had issues to be resolved. Most frequently he answered his phone immediately when I called, and on the few occasions when I left a voicemail I heard back from Ray within minutes. Ray respected my time and my needs while also being a very effective property manager with respect to the needs and expectations of the property manager. I would enthusiastically recommend Ray to any friends or colleagues looking to lease or purchase a property in the area, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and/or to use him as a property manager. Five stars, well-deserved.

Ok Yelp, you need to add a 6 star option because that's what Tim deserves!…read more Tim helped us to buy our first house in Peninsula. Not only he was extremely knowledgable of the neighborhood but he knew pretty much all inventory, all agents, all contractors/designers/lawyers, anyone you need to be involved with to get a house of your dreams and used those people effectively to get things done the way we want. He was very patient with us and walked us through every step of buying. In terms of offer strategy, he listened to us but convinced us to play hardball given the economic downturn and oh boy it paid off big time! We were even able to put in contingencies in case our renovation plans won't work out (luckily it did!). So far so good, but you might be wondering "so OK, he did his job". After we bought the house, his services and help didn't end for months! Previous owners broke the door on their way out, Tim got us a door repair guy, and got us refunded by previous owners. We had a leaking roof problem we discovered after we started opening up the walls in the house. The insurance said "there is nothing we can do about it" until Tim took the matter in his own hands and convinced them otherwise! We had challenges with breaking our lease, Tim helped us to strategize, deal with our landlady and even got us legal advice using his network. We needed a gardener, Tim got us a very good gardener. I can't even count the number of occasions he helped us long past due the purchase event. In Tim's case, above and beyond is not enough to describe how helpful he was (and still is). So, Yelp, I need that 6 stars for Tim. Please make that happen.

This is a big shout-out for Tim Foy of Midtown Realty who was the realtor for the sale of our house…read morein Palo Alto in June 2014. I have sold other houses with other very good realtors, but Tim's performance really stood out. The listing and marketing were very good, but what set Tim's performance apart was the real estate consulting and renovation advisory services that he provided, starting more than a year before we listed the house. Tim provided an analysis of the return on investment of various levels of remodeling the year prior to us listing the house. The house had not been remodeled since it was built in 1954. We wondered if it would be best to just sell it as-is, as a scraper. Tim's analysis, using comps of other houses in the area that had sold with various degrees of updating/remodeling, showed us that it would be a good investment to remodel the house. His analysis also gave us insight on just what we should remodel and how much we should invest so as to achieve the "sweet spot" of remodeling and investing not too much and not too little. We invested $135,000 in the remodel and it returned us approximately $600,000 to $700,000 in increased sale price. Furthermore, Tim provided multiple recommendations for the designer, stager, general contractors, painter, roofer, flooring installer, plumber, inspectors , etc. which made the project a success and much easier and faster than if I had to find contractors on my own. Because Tim's projects represent a substantial part of these vendor's workflow, they performed better and were more responsive. Tim frequently visited the house during the renovations to check on the progress and details. When he and/or I were not happy with a detail or when there was a lack of coordination between the vendors, he would call them and get it fixed. Furthermore, based on Tim's deep experience with Palo Alto, he understood who our market was and we reflected that insight in the style of the remodel and in the staging. This very high level of service was all provided within a standard 5% commission. Tim definitely earned his commission. The house sold for about $500,000 more than asking price, which was about $400,000 more than our highest hopes and realistic comps. Hiring Tim was probably the best investment decision I have made in my life.
