We recently sold our home in Fremont and we are more than happy to have chosen Simon as out listing agent. Simon is very professional, hard working and was very honest in providing feedback and also has very good knowledge and an eye on the improvements that could be made to increase the value of the property. We were very hands-off during the selling process given our busy schedules. Simon was on the top of his game and he not only scheduled but also followed up and over saw the crew that worked on the property for improvements/remodeling job. The most appreciative fact was that he was very honest in giving feedback on what improvements were worth and what weren't. He gave his opinion but ultimately left the decision to us. He even stopped us from making some costly remodeling work suggesting that it wasn't worth it. We got around 15-20k work improvements and we got 120K over asking. We had multiple properties in the neighborhood which were on market for a while. Given that scenario, our house was sold 120K over asking with in a week of listing. His negotiation skills and knowledge and experience in the market were great. All in all, he is a very hard working agent who takes a great pride in the work that he does. Its hard to find an honest and genuine agent who cares for your property/interests and makes sure that the whole process is smooth. With not even slightest of hesitation, we would definitely have Simon as our agent for all our future real estate transactions. read more

We choose Simon has he had previously worked with my mother in law and we couldn't have chosen better. He's professional, to the point and honest about how much a home is worth and how to market a home in a way that'll attract attention from multiple buyers even when we were attempting to sell the home at the worst time of the year. Through the whole process he made sure we were always on top of what was going on in terms of interested buyers/agents and what the next steps were. The process of creating the listing and sprucing our home up was easier than one would have thought given we were still living at the home, but with Simon's vast experience he handled everything like the professional that he is. I'll end with saying you won't find many agents like Simon around who are great and their job while being genuinely interested in making sure you get what you want out of your house sale. read more

Selling a house is a big decision and choosing the right realtor is very important. We met Simon at a nearby open house he was having for one of his clients. We hit it off so well that we realized we could talk to him for hours about anything. We interviewed other realtors but chose Simon because he is extremely straightforward and honest. During our transaction, I asked my father, a retired longtime Fremont realtor who lives out of state, to look over some paperwork Simon had sent, which of course was all fine, but my father noticed and said to me "Your realtor is very well credentialed." Simon's staging manager, Juan, was equally as awesome. Juan and his crew were very careful when moving items in out and out of our freshly painted home. Juan, in coordination with Simon, does an excellent job of interior design. Our house looked like a model home when we walked in. Of course, our transaction went as smoothly as it could have with our home selling well above asking. During the sales process, Simon was always approachable, responded to our emails, texts and/or phone calls right away. I would not hesitate in recommending Simon to any friend or family member. We sold our home and gained a friend in the same process. ~Thank you, Simon!!! read more

We just sold our house in Fremont, we are so glad that we chose Simon as our listing agent! Simon is professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, super efficient and skillful in negotiation. We did interview another big broker in Fremont before we interviewed Simon, but we chose Simon since we felt Simon was more honest about the listing price, he cared more about how to sell our house with the best price and could commit to whatever he promised. And he proved to us that our decision to hire him as listing agent was absolutely correct. Simon hired some workers to do deep cleaning, yard fix-up and hauling for free. The staging designer he hired also did a wonderful job. Our house looked so beautiful after staging. Simon himself is very involved in preparing our house to the market, he gave good advise about how to remodel the house to get the most value and made sure each step of the preparation work for listing were executed in timely manner. We are most impressed by Simon's dedication to client. We signed the listing contract with him less than three weeks before our desired open house date. It was very time crunch, however, Simon understood our desire to have open house as soon as possible and committed to make it happen. With Simon's supper hard work and efficient coordination of all the preparation work, we were actually able to hit the target date for open house. Especially, just a few days before our listing went live, Simon had a very tragedy emergency in his extended family oversea, which required his immediate assistant in person. While Simon was out of the country, he still made sure that our listing went live on schedule by working days and nights, despite the huge emotional pain he had in losing a family member and the huge difference in time zones. He was also available 24 hours for us to contact him, then rushed back and went straight to present at our first open house after he got off a red eye long distance flight. We were truly touched by his dedication to both his family duty and us as his client. Our escrow closed smoothly within 25 days, thanks to Simon for his supreme negotiation skill, execution and judgment in helping us get the best offer. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone, especially whoever wants to buy or sell real estate in the East Bay. read more

This is our second time working with Simon. We sold our first property in Fremont over a decade ago, and when our 2nd property became available for sale, we didn't hesitate at all to consider Simon again, since our first experience was very positive. It has been wonderful working with Simon. He is an extremely responsive and knowledgeable realtor, especially in the Fremont market. Moving and preparing a house to be on the market can be very stressful. Simon removed that stress with his wide connection of resources, managing the entire process and renovation for us, without needing us to always be present, since we live out of the area. Simon is very in tune with the market trends, his client's needs, as well as general buyer's needs. This makes for a smooth sale, as he has the pulse on every aspect. We would highly recommend Simon! He is a person with integrity and takes great pride in his reputation and work. read more

Simon helped us sell our house in Fremont in 2014. He is an absolute pleasure to work with; very patient and methodical. He will guide you through the entire process and has a keen eye for detail. We first initiated contact with him in 2013, and he suggested changes we needed to make in the house for optimal returns. We took about a year to make those changes, and then in 2014 we finally decide to sell. Simon staged the house impeccably. We had one open house, 5 offers, and within 4 days we accepted one of the offers well over the asking price. We had a very smooth ride through the closing process as well. I must mention that around the same time two more homes in our neighborhood went on the market, that took 5-6 weeks to sell, and sold at or below the asking price. read more

Simon was the agent who sold me my house 10 years ago representing the sellers. He has worked all these years in our Fremont neighborhood and I think I attended every single open house he gave in our subdivision so that I could stay on top of how our homes were appreciating. I noticed that the homes he was selling ALWAYS looked gorgeous and usually sold over the asking price. I just worked with Simon to sell my home...we're in pending status right now after just two weeks. Simon provides all of the cleaning, power washing, polishing up the garden, staging and photos for internet and the gorgeous heavy stock fliers. He also has excellent contacts for you to call for other services you may want to use to get top dollar for your home....in my case I needed to replace my carpet. He's always dependably on time and he's made the paperwork seem easy. My house looked absolutely stunning and it did sell over asking price. I'm very pleased as, for me, this was the difference between an nice retirement that I had already planned for and a REALLY nice retirement that I now have. P.S. Don't get upset if he tells you your nice comfy chair in the family room has to go to the garage during the staging! He really knows this business. read more

We hired Simon to sell our home in the Niles area of Fremont right before we moved to another part of the state. He renovated and sold the house after we left. He made all necessary arrangements so that we did not need to return to complete the sale, including finding reasonably priced contractors to complete any needed renovations. He was consistently on top of things and consulted us on important decisions. Simon is very trustworthy, ethical, respectful, responsive and professional. He is very knowledgeable and well connected with other agents, as well as with contractors and others involved in the selling process, making the whole process smoother. It was a pleasure working with him and hiring him was an excellent decision as it set a record for sale price for that model of home in the Niles area. read more

Whats great about Simon is his straight forward, data oriented approach to the entire transaction and genuine concern for the interests of the client he represents.

Simon helped us sell our house in Union City in 2015. He is very professional, honest, patient, methodical, knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. I worked with him on this sale for about 6 months till timing was perfect. He always gave me a very realistic assessment of any situation - which was very important for me.

Simon and his team represented us both as buyers and sellers. We primarily worked with Andy. They are all very responsive, accessible, not pushy, and great to work with. Simon is honest with his opinions, and has relationships with many of the real estate agents who operate in the area. From our experience, that can be helpful. Andy is a pleasure to work with. I think Simon and his team really shine when it comes to selling a house. They seem to have developed a great system and can leverage their relationships with other real estate agents to maximize the value they bring. An issue come up during the purchase of our home that I wish could have been handled differently, but overall we were happy with our experience working with them and pleased with the results from the sale of our home. read more

We are very grateful indeed for all of the help and advice Simon provided us throughout the preparation, listing, negotiations, sale and escrow process. Simon gave us sound advice that helped us value and list our house at a very competitive price. He helped take care of fixes that needed to be done to the house as part of preparing it for sale. Most importantly, his advice and skill during the negotiation process, allowed us to obtain multiple offers, and was fundamental in the successful closure of the sale. Simon was always very prompt and responsive, and provided us with great advice, allowing us to weigh both the pros and cons.

Simon helped me sell my house earlier this year. As background, this is my first time selling a home so I didn't know what to expect. Like most people in the Bay Area, I am extremely busy so I wanted to make sure that the agent I selected could be as self sufficient as possible in selling the house given my goals. I have to say that it was a painless experience as he took care of everything and sold the house during the first open house with back up offers. He helped suggest renovating some small items to increase the selling price which worked out. I will definitely use Simon again in the future and recommend him highly. read more

Simon helped me with purchase of a house in Fremont and it took almost 3 years. As market is so competitive and I had no clue how crazy bidding can get, but he is very patience and finally I got it. The previous owner left enormous amount of junk inside and outside of the garage after they moved out. Simon helped us out and had it haul away. Now come selling my house, he is very efficient. Staging was done very well, look like model home. Photography was done professionally. On top of that, we also did some other update at Simon's suggestion. We had open house one weekend, and in contract by Wed. It was over asking price. Highest selling price in my neighborhood as now. To my happy surprise. read more
