Not only was Matt responsive with great referrals for other services, but his team gave us almost daily updates, readily returned our calls and really guided us through the entire process (our first home sale in California). They also helped us find the right home for purchase - checked all of the boxes. The process was a little longer than what we would have liked, but that wasn't because of the agency, but from issues outside of their control. Would we use them again? Absolutely. Would we refer to them - we have and still will.

RESPONSE: My problem was not with the short sale process; we were well-aware of what we were…read moregetting into. The Battiata team told our realtor that we were the highest and best offer and to "sit tight" because we would have the bank approval ASAP. This information was conveyed to us as if we were the offer submitted; we came to find out they had already submitted an offer prior to receiving ours, and we were never even in the running for the house. Therefore, Mr. Battiata, we were not upset about the challenging process of a short sale, and yes we were disappointed in not getting the house but, the real problem was Your team and Your business practices. ORIGINAL REVIEW: We had the WORST experience with Battiata. We were told for about four months that the offer we had put down on our dream home was the top offer and that we should just "sit tight" until they had the final bank approval. For those 4 months we were given false hopes and a major run around. It was nearly impossible to get a straight answer from anyone and they kept back pedaling on what was actually happening. When our own agent couldn't get a straight answer we finally started calling their office directly until someone finally called us back, only to tell us that while we were still the highest and best offer (still within a reasonable range, the house would have easily appraised), they went with another offer. We eventually found out that the house went for a lot less than what we had offered so, they obviously don't accept highest and best as their AGENTS claim. While it is just hearsay, our understanding is that it is a common practice for the Battiata group to scout out for their own buyers so they don't have to share commission with another agency. We understood that short sales are difficult, time consuming and usually very frustrating. We knew how the process worked and what to expect. What we weren't ready for was how unprofessional the Battiata team was. We filed a complaint with the BBB but, they didn't care because the deal never went through. I guess in order for anyone to be held accountable for shoddy practices there has to be a monetary exchange. Thank goodness for places like Yelp where people can speak candidly and warn others about scheisters like Matt Battiata.

I had never sold or bought a house before and they helped me do both with ease. I need to put my father's house up for sale after he passed away and Paul and Elizabeth had been my property managers at the place I was renting. They were so wonderful at handling everything for us as tenants for 10 years so I decided to ask them to be my agents for the sale as well. They did everything for me, I mean they handled EVERYTHING! Including getting me the best deals for some things I had to do before I sold the house. They gave me the best contracting referrals, they immediately started open houses and walk throughs, they made sure I got what I wanted for the house. Then they helped us with our own purchase. They made it so fun to look for our new house and really listened to what was important to us. In fact, they are actually the one's who ended up finding us our dream house which we are now living in! It was such a smooth transaction and tey were on top of everything. Anything I need to do....they were right there holding my hand and telling me what came next. I never thought dealing with agents could be like this, an absolutely awesome and happy experience. We are so thankful to them for the smooth road to our happy home!
