I have nothing but positive things to say about Wes Knapp. My boyfriend was looking for a home to purchase and Wes was his realtor. I would go and look at the homes with them and Wes was always had a smile on his face.This was my boyfriends first experience in buying a home and believe me, it was a very stressful experience for him. Wes however, made the experience as painless as possible. He was always personable and very easy to work with. Wes was not only very knowledgeable about the homes he showed us but also VERY accommodating, extremely patient, and most importantly NOT the least bit pushy. Wes always had his best interest in mind and when things got a little frustrating he always put him at ease. Wes always gave him a 110% and I have no doubt that he'll do the same for all his clients. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the easy bay. 5 stars across the board for Wes Knapp, he's your guy! read more

Could not ask for better agent! Takes great care in finding out your needs and desires in properties you may be looking to purchase. Very accommodating and easy to work with! So pleased I chose Wes to help me in my home search! read more

My boyfriend and I just recently completed the process of buying a home in Pleasant Hill and were extremely pleased having Wes Knapp as our Realtor. Wes was professional, knowledgeable and prompt at responding to our e-mails, text messages and phone calls. He was very flexible with the hours he was able to show us homes and meet with us to prepare our offer. We were first time home buyers and as you can imagine, we had a lot of questions! Wes was patient and thorough in answering every last one of them. He was also very personable and easy to be around, which I don't think you can underestimate when you're spending so much time with someone. Our home was a short sale and Wes definitely knew what he was doing. He kept us updated throughout the whole short sale process, even if it were just to tell us that there were "no updates". We felt that Wes was always professionally straight forward with us and truly felt like he was on our side. I whole heatedly recommend Wes if you are looking for someone that is competent, thorough and is a quality individual. read more

Thank you Wes for helping us buy our house in Danville!!!! I am so glad we had the opportunity to work with you. Wes is an amazing realtor. Since this was my first experience purchasing a house, Wes was very patient and went above and beyond explaining the whole process of buying a house. He is accessible at all hours of the day/weekend and always responded to my calls/emails within 24hours. Wes knew exactly what we were looking for and found the perfect house for my husband and I. My whole experience working with Wes was so positive that I will definitely refer Wes to anyone who is looking to buy a house around the Danville/Walnut Creek area. I never knew buying a house would be so easy and stress free....Thank You Wes for such a positive experience! read more

My wife and I had a unconventional short sale with a second to work through. We were very concerned about making the deal happen. Wes knew all of the steps and was very knowledgeable about the process. All of the concerns that we had were dealt with promptly and he helped to get the deal approved quickly. He helped us through inspections and coordinated some needed repairs. It was great having somebody that understood the local market to guide us through the process. I really felt like Wes was honest and had our best interest in mind. Hopefully we wont be moving any time soon, but if we do, I know who I'll call... Thanks Wes!! read more

Wes was incredible. It is my first home purchase and Wes made the process streamlined and manageable. He negotiated a bid that included an accelerated close to help me out bid another bidder. He was happy to show me around until I found the right house. Wes is a great guy to work with and was always available for questions and concerns. Thank you so much Wes!!!! I owe you one! read more

Wes is the man!!! I was a first time home buyer, and had a lot of questions. I was very nervous, but he made the whole process a lot more pleasant. He was patient and was willing to go see as many houses as I wanted. He was very knowledgeable about Concord and surrounding areas. One of the things I noticed was that he did not use GPS. He knows where everything is located. He was able to tell me about local grocery stores, Bart locations, freeway entrances, schools, local attractions, and downtown. He was extremely knowledgeable about home renovations and was able to point out if something seemed off. I was very happy with him as my realtor. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him for all those looking for a realtor. read more

Wes helped my husband and I purchase our first home a few months ago and we were so happy to have him as our realtor! He spent the time to take us to look at many different properties and always gave us good information and advice with out being pushy at all. He found us our dream home and helped us through the entire process. He always answered phone calls and emails promptly and answered all of our questions. We would 100% recommend. Thank you Wes! read more

Thanks Wes for helping us find the perfect house! Wes was extremely flexible with his schedule, patient with us as first time home buyers, and encouraged questions. As several offers fell through, he didn't dwell on the negatives and kept us even keeled throughout the process. While we were getting a bit discouraged and questioning ourselves, Wes maintained that the right house was out there for us; and it was! Wes really knew his stuff too! As a lifetime resident of the area, he familiar with the East Bay. He had a lot of structural/maintenance knowledge. He was able to point out defects that we completely missed and was informed on approximate costs to repair. It was like having a home inspector with you on every viewing. We'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy a place in the East Bay. read more

This review is long overdue! After my husband and I decided to "break-up" with our realtor, we searched the internet and came across Wes' site and reviews, and decided to give him a shot. After all, he touted himself as "Mr. Eastbay" - an area where we wanted to buy our first home. We can attest to the fact that Wes is truly "Mr. East Bay" - he knows the neighborhoods, side streets, and short-cuts. While traveling from one open house to another, our first realtor (a person who boasted that the East Bay was "her place") would have to pull over several times to consult her GPS. Wes, on the other hand, knows the fastest way to get from point "A" to "B." Whenever we arrived at an open house, Wes was an active participant who would not only look at the house, he would hold up his iPhone flashlight to the areas of a room that most of us tend to overlook. What we're most thankful for is Wes' mindfulness: while my husband and I were busy taking pictures and videos, or talking about changing "this" and "that," Wes was looking at the scratches along a door frame ("The previous owner probably had a dog") or noticing items on the neighbor's yard ("There's a tricycle and toys on the ground, so there may be a few kids next door"). Wes is honest and when you ask for his opinion, he'll tell you sans sugar-coat - a trait that all first-time homebuyers need in an agent. If you're looking for a home in the East Bay, it doesn't get any better than someone who knows everything about the area you want to call "home." Wes is the best! read more

Wes did a great job helping us purchase our first home. He helped us make several offers- a grueling process but he made it easy using technology. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Wes. He helped me sell my home and it was a smooth experience. Wes was very professional and flexible with my needs. He was able to put all my concerns to rest, that come when selling a home. I believe because of his attention to detail my home sold quickly. If you are looking for a straight shooter with local market knowledge then I highly recommend Wes. I definitely will be doing business with him again. read more

Thank you Chuck S. for your review of Wes. With all these wonderful reviews I wondered if it was just me, but it isn't. My husband and I hired him to sell our Concord home based on Yelp reviews. And we agree with you Chuck that dealing with Wes is indeed a mixed bag. On the one hand he is knowledgeable and willing to do things that other agents wouldn't do. He was great helping us get our house ready to show. However there is one key thing that made us decide we didn't want to work with him any more. When we initially interviewed Wes he told us that we were going to do open houses two Saturdays and Sundays in a row from 12 to 5. I know this is longer than usual open houses but at the time it seemed great. The first weekend we canceled to do more work on the house. A couple of days before the first open house we received an email from Wes asking us if we would be open to having one agent present Saturday from 1 to 4 and a different one on Sunday. We were not interested. We already have an agent, why would we want someone we don't know and who doesn't know much about our house? On Friday, the day before our first open house Wes came over. I asked him if these other agents were there, when was he going to be there? His response was that he wasn't going to be there at all. It would be "a waste of my time". And basically the lock box would be on the door and folks could come by and look at our home. ... "a waste of my time" "a waste of my time" WHAT!?! ... "a waste of my time" Those were his Exact words! We Fired Him. In all my years dealing with real estate agents I have NEVER had one not planning on attending an open house AT ALL. Why help set the stage and not bother going to opening night? The whole point of an open house is that ANYONE can come in and look, even if they don't have an agent yet. A lot of folks believe that open houses don't sell houses, but we didn't have an agent when we found our home during an open house. So, we ended up canceling the open house with Wes. He offered to do it but his heart obviously was not in it. We went and hired agents we knew wanted to be there as they had asked if they could be there Saturday. They most definitely earned (a soon to be posted) 5 star rating. Here's the kicker: As tough as it was for me to put my foot down it was a good thing we switched. As it turned out as I was leaving on Sunday at 12:30 for a 1 pm open house a family who did not yet have an agent pulled up. And, of course, I let them in and showed them the house. When they were outside in the back yard I called my agent to come over quickly. And this is the family who bought our house! read more

I had an incredible good luck,to find Wes on Yelp after my horrible experience with another agent named Elena,that was pushing me to buy immediately and for the asking price- anything that comes from the real estate listing in Walnut Creek. Wes is the most patient and respectful real estate agent that I know,honest,experienced,detail oriented guy with a great business philosophy-respect to the customer and absolute honesty,he is always provided on-point advise,worked with sellers agent,even managed to take care and to get rid of huge old satellite dish that previous homeowners left on property during my escrow closing process. In short -when I finally found the perfect place in Walnut Creek Wes helped me to assist negotiate a way lower offer and sealed the deal for about 8% less the sellers was asking. I'm totally happy with my new home and such a great experience with my real estate agent Wes Knapp and I have already recommended him to my friend and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a pro. read more

I have been quite happy with my last house hunting. Wes never pressured me and only showed me properties that met my requirements.

I have been working with Wes through the good real estate market and the bad. He has always been professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I am regularly impressed by his willingness to help and his enthusiasm. Anytime someone I know asks for a real estate referral I am pleased to be able to send them to him, knowing that the service they receive will be impeccable. read more

Wes came highly recommended from a friend of ours and we couldn't be happier with our decision to have had him as our Realtor. He was so great to work with. He was very accommodating with our schedules since my husband and I both work crazy hours sometimes. He was very patient and honest with us and was never pushy like some of the other Realtors we had previously worked with. He was also very knowledgeable regarding all of the houses we had looked at which meant we had less research to do. He also followed up with us regularly even when he didn't have new information for us to ensure us that he hadn't forgotten about us. It was also nice when it came time for all of that paperwork to be signed and Wes sat with us through every minute of it to make sure we understood everything. We feel very lucky to have had Wes as our Realtor which helped us have such a great experience of buying our first home. I would highly recommend Wes to help you find your home. read more

I worked w/ Wes when I was looking to purchase a condo. Wes was my agent for Concord. Strong points for Wes are: He knows Concord like the back of his hand. He's flexible and doesn't mind you working w/ other RE agents in other cities (some agents want you to sign an exclusive contract). He will point out negative aspects of a property that you may not notice. Weak points: He asked me closing questions like "What would you pay for this condo?" when I wasn't even much interested in the property. He downplayed the negatives I saw in another property. So a bit of a mixed bag, but if you are a savvy buyer and want someone that knows Concord I would recommend Wes. read more

We recently bought a new home in Pleasant Hill. Wes did a great job. Even a couple of months after the sale closed and we are all moved in he is still happy and quick to help with anything that comes up. He really cares. Looking for houses was quite entertaining. Wes is extremely knowledgeable about the area and would share lots of information as we drove around that I would never have known otherwise. He catches a lot of details about houses and his experience let him in on things that would be easy to miss. Wes recommended great people for needs such as escrow and inspections. They all did great work and we are happy to be in touch with them now and in the future. We are super happy with our new home! Thanks Wes! read more

We were selling our house last year in Concord and looking to buy in Martinez. Wes helped us on both sides of it, and was amazing. He stuck with the sale (our house was "one-of-a-kind" needing the right buyer), running open houses and following up with everybody. When we finally found the buyer, he took care of everything! For our purchase, he went above and beyond showing us houses, working with our schedules. Although we didn't end up buying (our own issues, nothing to do with Wes), he was a consummate professional! Also, his insight into the houses and neighborhoods we looked at showed a wisdom and insightfulness that we hadn't even hoped for. When we look to buy in the future, we will definitely go back to Wes! read more

Wes is the easiest guy to do business with...truly a pleasure. If you want the confidence in selling your property but don't want to be pushed to do something you don't want to do, he's your guy. Thanks Wes! read more

I found Wes through Yelp when I was looking for someone to help me with a short sale and I had the opportunity to hire Wes to help sell my house and I am sure it was one of the best decisions I could have made. My house had a few cosmetic problems and I had tenants still living on the premises. Yet Wes was able to handle any of the hiccups that came along. From the very first day when I met him and he told me about how the proceedings will go, to the sometimes daily updates all the way through closing Wes was there helping me understand the process and letting me know my options at each step of the way. Wes is very professional and really went above and beyond in making sure the house was a success. And at the end of the day I didn't have to do a short sale. If you need to sell your house (and even if you need to buy one). I highly recommend Wes as your agent. read more

Wes is probably one of the best guys you will ever know, down to earth, straight forward, trustworthy and he wont hesitate to work hard. My wife needed some help dealing with a complication with her lease and foreclosure and he spent time doing research on an area of real estate that was pretty obscure. As a result she was able to resolve the issue and make a smooth transition. If you want to work with a Real Estate agent that really goes above and beyond then Wes is your man! read more

I had been having a hard time finding a house, until a friend of mine recommended Wes. I have heard nightmares in the past about how looking for a house can be a drag. Wes is extremely knowledgeable and professional and helped my wife and i find a place pretty quickly. Thank you Wes you are the man, we need more honest hardworking people like you in this industry keep up the good work. read more

Honest and puts in more than required. Here's my story. I interviewed two realtors with excellent yelp reviews. One was willing to list my condo for $99K but was already trying to talk me down on the pricing. Wes on the other hand, without probing on what I thought the condo was worth, suggested a listing of $110K. The first realtor suggested that I remove the pop corn ceiling and replaced the lighting in the dining area. Wes told me these are not issues that will cause the house not to be sold. He suggested I do nothing. We sold the home in 1 week at a price more than I expected. Wes also installed a Carbon monoxide monitor for me. He made everything easy. The best experience I have ever had. If you are looking for a realtor, go with Wes. read more

I've been using Yelp for years, but have never written a review before. I'm finally writing one, because Wes goes so far above and beyond that I just have to tell everyone. I decided to buy a house this year, and I knew absolutely nothing about real estate. I was fortunate enough to find Wes on yelp. He got back to me quickly, is professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, he is kind and an easy person to work with. He answered all my questions and put me at ease. His client's best interest is his priority and that came across instantly. I have already told my family and friends about how great he is, but I realized that wasn't enough. I'm hoping this review will help someone else choose Wes as their realtor. You will be lucky to have him. read more

Our daughter and family were looking for a house in the East Bay. They contacted Wes Knapp and we all worked with him finding just the right place. Wes was outstanding!! He's knowledgeable, considerate, and the ultimate professional. Would we recommend him for someone else? In a heartbeat!! read more

My only regret is I did not write this review sooner. I was very impressed with the attention to detail and guidance we received from Wes. We were first time home buyers and nervous about the whole process. Wes made us feel at ease. He answered our concerns as we voiced them, and believe me we had a few. He guided us through the process explaining what to expect such as earnest money, inspections, and disclosures. Introduce us to Mr. Davies who guided me through the VA loan process. After months of viewing open houses and being out bid a few times we found our home. Thanks to Wes, we now are enjoying life as new home owners. I would definitely recommend him to our friends and family. read more

I recently had a transaction with Wes and as a fellow Realtor I thought he did an outstanding job!

Wes was our agent in selling my parent's townhouse in Concord. He was professional, knowledgeable, reasonable, and easy to work with. It was easy to communicate with him via email and texting. He even helped us in selling some of the furniture in the house. We're glad we found him. read more

I work as a firefighter and my schedule is very sporadic. I was looking for a Realtor who was going to be extremely flexible and honest. A friend recommended Wes Knapp. Once I met with Wes I instantaneously liked him. He was Very professional and polite. even though this was my first experience buying a house and obviously working with a Realtor. But Wes really did make everything easy and comfortable. There were times that I wanted to look at houses during the week. Sometimes I just wanted to look at one house, and Wes like a pro would find time to show me the house that I wanted to look at. He was very honest about his opinion of the houses we looked at. If he didn't like something about the house he would tell me. I really appreciated his honesty. I never felt like Wes was trying to sell me a house. I felt like he was trying to find me a Home. He never pushed me to buy anything that was out of my price range. Im on the eve of signing my papers and Im very happy with my house.The house is a older home and Wes was able to broker a new roof on to the house. And I have Wes to thank. Thank you wes read more

Wes is an old high school friend. He heard I was in the market to potentially rent or buy a home in the Walnut Creek area and he approached me with ideas and strategies - unsolicited. Wes has been extremely helpful and his approach is friendly, professional and accommodating. I would recommend Wes to family and friends in the future should they have a need for a Realtor. read more

Wes was referred to me by a co'worker in the firefighter department. He was very knowledgeable about the different types of financing, but referred me to a lender at Wells Fargo that was able to fund the loan (with Wes's assistance). I was unable to be on the loan since I had less than a year at my job so it was only my wife who was on maternity leave, a feat which if you ask any other lender is "impossible". Wes went above and beyond and called the higher up at Wells and pressed for an answer when a $100 per day per diem was pressing near and underwriting at Wells wasn't being responsive. Wes was also knowledgeable about the East Bay Area housing market, where the good neighborhoods were, the quality of schools and overall location to shopping and major transportation. He showed us houses when it was convenient to us and was very polite. I would highly recommend Wes Knapp to anyone looking for a honest hard working Real Estate Agent and I will definitey be calling him when I need to list my home or buy a second investment property :) read more

Wes was amazing in helping us sell a house in Concord. He was able to get us everything we asked for and did it seamlessly. I can't recommend him enough. Looking forward to working with him again in the future. read more

We found Wes through Yelp and had a great experience working with him! My husband and I were first time homebuyers, and the idea of putting down most of our life savings made us pretty nervous. Our first agent tried to pressure us into buying places that didn't fit our criteria. When we found a place we liked, she didn't take us seriously when we wanted to put an offer in at the asking price. She was right, the place went for $30k over asking, but she didn't handle it well at all. Wes is totally different. He realizes the market is crazy right now and told us he would be willing to help us until we found the right place, even if I took months and months. He is very honest and professional. He didn't try to pressure us whatsoever. We were stressed out about buying our first home, but Wes listened to all of our concerns and helped us through this crazy time. I would recommend Wes to anyone looking to buy in Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill. He is from the area and knows it extremely well. We bought a great place in Pleasant Hill and couldn't be happier! read more

My wife and I cannot express the amount of gratitude we have for Wes Knapp and the amazing service he provided my family. Being a first time home buyer I really had to educate myself on the ins and outs of: 1. What am I truly looking for in a home? 2. What do I need to look at when buying a home? 3. What is the process between the selling agent, buying agent and the mortgage lender? 4. What are the steps when your bid is accepted? These 4 questions might seem easy to answer but to a new home buyer this can get really complicated. Luckily for me, Wes not only walked me through the whole process, but also laid a strong foundation for anything I might come across in the future. I also really appreciated the connections he has built over the years. He connected me with an amazing mortgage along with others whom are the utmost professionals in their field. I appreciate everything that he has done for me and my family and would STRONGLY recommend Wes for anyone looking for a buying and/or selling agent. In a market where you're not sure who to trust, Wes is a true professional and will always keep your best interests at the front of any decision. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future when my family looks for a new home. read more

I highly recommend working with Wes Knapp for your real estate transactions. I recently listed and sold my home with Wes and he made it a smooth and easy process. I've invested in real estate for over 30 years and I was impressed by Wes' professionalism. He listens, he responds, and will keep you informed without intrusion, pressure or games. Wes is top notch and really knows how to manage the deal each step of the way. He has an ease and trustworthiness that is authentic and genuine, and that's worth everything to me! read more

What can I say... this guy is a true superstar. You will not find another realtor so willing to guide you through the home buying process and do what is right for YOU and not him/her. I worked with Wes for over two years before finally purchasing something. Never once did I feel rushed. He gave me any information that I asked for and was always professional and quick to respond. And on top of that, he's a normal guy (some realtors can be weird) :D I can't thank Wes enough for introducing me to the real estate world. I would HIGHLY recommend him and plan to do business with him in the future. read more

We found Wes through Yelp and have been very happy with his services. In the past couple of years, he's helped my husband and I buy a home and sell a home, and both times we were very satisfied with the results. Wes is a true professional and made the process as smooth and easy for us as possible. He knows the right people, is always available, and follows through on everything. We were trying to sell our house for months, and once Wes stepped on board, we were in contract with buyers after the first open house. He also knows the area really well, is very friendly and down-to-earth, and will see things through until you're totally satisfied. We highly recommend him. read more

My wife and I recently purchased our first home in Concord thanks to Wes Knapp. When we first sought out a real estate agent, we were looking for someone who would be knowledgeable, patient, quick to respond to questions, and who would make the whole process of searching for a home an overall smooth process. We found, doing initial interviews with potential agents, that many of them were pushy - some didn't follow through, or took their sweet time (days) in returning a phone call. Wes, with his confident, assuring and cool laid-back approach, was an instant match for us. Once the process began to start home shopping, Wes understood our criteria in a home and price range, and would send us daily updates about homes in the area we would be interested in. Wes at times personally drove us to go check out homes, told us about the positives and negatives in terms of flaws in the house, the neighborhood comps, nearby schools, etc., and being a Concord native, he made us feel assured of what we'd be getting into with whatever home/area we chose to live. When we got to the later stages, Wes was very informative and thorough in going over paperwork and submitting offers. In this tough real estate market, we're proud to say that we eyed our home at the beginning of the month, and we were moving into it by the end. And this was due in large part to Wes being on the ball and being highly motivated to help us get what we wanted. To this day, Wes has been more than just a business associate, but a friend as well. Thanks again Wes for making our dream of home ownership a reality! read more
