Ian put in the extra time and energy to make sure that our mother's property got the best bid possible, so that we could pay for her care, enabling her to age with dignity and comfort. He was rock solid, dependable, and reliable - with endless energy and host of knowledge! He helped us navigate many really tough situations with good humor, determination, and excellent referrals to service providers, handling anything from squatters to hoarders to renovations and yard work. Ian even gave himself a blister cutting back our overgrown yard! He was tough with negotiations, but tender with my mother. When she was mournful about leaving her house, Ian was there with gentle advice and charm. He helped calm her down so we could move her into a new space, and was able to share personal advice about caring for elder family. He is absolutely the best, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Smith & Berg assisted with the sale of my home off market and achieved an incredible result! I had…read morehad the impression that any off market sale would have to be well under market value and was initially very skeptical. David Berg and his team quickly helped find serious buyers and got an offer well above what I had thought was possible. Then, instead of calling it a day, he negotiated for even more. He and his team also crafted purchase agreement terms that allowed my family the time and flexibility to look for a new home on our schedule. I would definitely work with them again!

I can't say enough good things about Jordan! He's great to work with and an amazing resource. I was…read morealways confident in his knowledge and perspective on the market, the neighborhoods we were looking in, and specific elements of each house (materials, structural elements, safety concerns, etc.). Jordan was recommended to us by multiple friends who had purchased houses with him and we have since recommended him to others as well. Jordan was very patient while we scoured the Valley for the perfect house. I always felt like he understood what we wanted and was always on our side with a practical viewpoint. When we finally found our house, Jordan helped us get a good deal without getting into a competitive bidding situation. When it came to selling our previous home, Jordan and the Smith & Berg team made everything so easy. Everything felt like it was being taken care of, and that we were getting the best value out of our last property, and could concentrate on settling our family into our new home.

If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients, Andrew Mason is the person…read moreyou want in your corner. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, a LOT of nerves, and a very specific list of things we were looking for in a condo. We spent more tiem than most keeping an eye on the market and waiting for the right place, and Andrew was incredibly patient through all of it. We never felt pressured or rushed. Instead, he helped us stay focused on finding a home we truly loved and felt good about. Then, when the right condo finally came on the market, Andrew jumped in as our guide through the process. He got us in for a showing within 24 hours, helped us put together a strong offer within 48 hours, and guided us through every step with so much confidence and expertise that what felt intimidating suddenly felt manageable. Our offer was accepted quickly, escrow was smooth, and just 15 days later, we were homeowners. Andrew is thoughtful, responsive, and somehow makes a stressful process feel fun. We really felt, and still feel, like we can trust him in what is the biggest decision of our lives so far. We always felt like he was looking out for us and giving us honest advice, not just trying to close a deal and move on. And any time we were with him, he was never rushing out the door. He was patient and always answered our (many) questions. We're so grateful for his help, and in many years when we are ready for an upgrade, know that he will be our first call.

Sitah was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. Her deep understanding of the local market and strong relationships were absolutely critical--she was able to uncover an off-market opportunity that we never would have gotten without her. She guided us through a smart, strategic offer that ultimately secured the home. I truly felt supported and confident every step of the way and would highly recommend Sitah to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially if you want an edge in a competitive market.

Worked with Richard initially in dual agency then as a buyers agent. As others have mentioned, he…read moreis a class act. The first property we made an offer in we were outbid (by a significant amount, no hard feelings on losing it) but he was patient and kept us apprised of all changes and offers coming through. He was knowledgeable and educated us on both what to look for and unique additions to a property and how they differed from current market offerings (he's also a general contractor, if you know you KNOW how helpful this is). The second property he helped us beat a CASH OFFER. This to me was huge as the property we were looking at was truly a unique gem in the rough and we were fairly attached by the time we walked through with him. He even slowed down the process as we were out of town right after the listing went live despite the live cash offer on the table. He WORKED to keep our offer relevant often going to meet the sellers agent in person (roughly an hour away) once negotiations began. He shot straighter than an arrow on issues with the property going as far as giving *semi professional estimates based on what he's seen in his local market. So far, post closing, all of those estimates were either on target or slightly over what we received back from subcontractors (he prefers to overestimate to budget safely which I find comforting). I HIGHLY recommend Richard, he is hard working, incredibly responsive, and efficient with his time and yours. He's an all around great person and wholesome as well - he tends to operate more on building relationships than numbers which is hard to find today, especially in an agent. We continue to work with him as a general contractor and he is currently working miracles on our timeline (all the major things you assume will take months are being scheduled within weeks). Hope to keep this relationship going as we're going to have an endless number of projects in the future hah. *I use semi professional here because it was not an official quote but a quick one drawn up one to give us an idea if buying the property was feasible with our budget. It was so accurate it almost feels criminal to say semi.

His background in contractor management means he can relate both sides of the business and help you make good decisions. He also has great design sense and will go above and beyond, helping to guide you towards wise decisions. My purchase went smoothly, thanks to Richard making sure things were well explained and taken care of. He really goes the extra mile, being very sensitive to keep buying a home from being a stressful experience. He is very personable and reaches out to everyone involved, and he does his best to gather information on your behalf. Richard will even recommend where to get deals on items that will work when furnishing your new place. This shows the level of thought and care he puts into the experience. Buying a home is not only transactional, it requires a lot of decision-making. Richard acts wonderfully as a guide and consummate professional in both areas.
