Alan Manuel

Subject: Review for Alan Manuel – Exceptional Realtor After making over 40 phone calls to find a realtor who understood the CalVET contract of sale, we became discouraged and nearly gave up. We decided to call the CalVET office in San Francisco, and the sales director referred us to Alan Manuel. That referral changed everything. Not only does Alan understand VA loans and all of their complexities, but he also understands conventional loans. More importantly, he was the only realtor we could find who truly understands the CalVET contract of sale. The CalVET program is an outstanding opportunity for veterans who may not qualify for a VA loan, and Alan's expertise in this area was the reason we were able to afford our home. For that, we are forever grateful. What set Alan apart was his accessibility. Throughout the entire process, he was always available to answer our questions—not just about the property, but about financing and the loan process itself. We later learned that this level of support is not always part of a realtor's scope of work, but Alan made himself available in every way we could have possibly needed. Unlike other experiences where we felt like we were being handed off like an assembly line, Alan was present, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. He worked hard for us, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are a potential homebuyer looking for someone who will explore every option available to help you get into a home, Alan Manuel is the realtor you want on your side. Respectfully, Brian and Lea McNellis

Alan from the very beginning was very attentive of what we wanted and what we were looking for. He was excellent at communicating with us and when we had questions or concerns he would talk to us not matter the time and day. He fought for what we wanted and he helped us push for what we wanted and expected. Alan loves his job and he cares about his clients. He is very knowledgeable as well and will give you excellent advice. If we had to do this process all over again Alan is the guy we would definitely go to. Again we liked how he was easy to get a hold over, how he fought for us, and how he was on it every step of the way until we closed. Thank you again for making our first home buying not so stressful. We appreciate all the hard work you did.

I cant even begin to explain why Alan is a great agent. Lets start with his generosity and hospitality. He really made my wife and I feel like family. He was also very patient with me considering I was a first time home buyer. He really went out of his way to help me understand what was going on and the process of everything. Any time I had a question he was LITERALLY a phone call away. Ive referred him to a couple of my friends and even they are in awe on how generous and humble he is. I will definitely be using him again with my next home.

Alan Manuel helped my wife and me purchase our first home seven years ago, and he has now guided us through selling it in a down market for the community while simultaneously helping us secure our next home. We truly could not have asked for a better advocate. In a challenging market environment, Alan proved himself to be a stalwart, steady, strategic, and unwavering from start to finish. His pricing expertise, negotiation skill, and precise timing were critical in getting our home sold despite market headwinds, and he seamlessly coordinated both transactions to ensure everything aligned smoothly. What sets Alan apart is his composure and adaptability. He does not react emotionally to shifting conditions; he responds with experience, perspective, and a clear plan. Throughout the entire process, we felt informed, confident, and protected, knowing he was thinking several steps ahead. If you want a realtor who is dependable, knowledgeable, and fully committed to his clients’ success, Alan Manuel is exactly who you want on your side.

Though the whole process of selling our home he kept us updated on the daily progress. Shared and suggested ideas that would benefit us. He has helped other family members and friends with buying and selling their homes and were very pleased with his assistance. He treated us like family and showed sincere concerns, went beyond the duty of an agent. Very knowledgeable and will definitely keep recommending him to family and friends in the future.

We had an outstanding experience working with Alan, in selling my mother’s home. From start to finish, Alan demonstrated deep knowledge of the market and current trends, which gave us confidence in every decision we made. He’s an exceptional negotiator and always looked out for our best interests. Alan communication skills were top-notch — he actively listened to our concerns, explained every step clearly, and offered thoughtful advice along the way. His integrity and professionalism were evident throughout the process, and it was clear he truly cared about helping our family. What really set Alan apart was his impressive network of contacts — from other agents and lenders to trusted vendors for marketing, repairs, and inspections. His follow-up was impeccable, and we always felt informed and supported. Alan treated us like family, going above and beyond in every detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
