Quick turn-around with magnificent results

We discovered a "too good to be true" property in Sonoma County and needed a local professional to help us make it happen. As the perfect agent, Carlos helped us bring all the pieces together quickly so that we could make a successful offer to the seller. After presenting the winning bid, Carlos worked with the seller's agent to make sure that the transaction was smooth and all issues were resolved without impacting the closing date. We could not have been in better hands and we love our new home!

Listened to clients and made the perfect match

Carlos was fantastic. He took the time to hear what we were interested in. Didn't show us properties that were not a good fit. Once we found the perfect property he worked with us to make the right offer and stuck with us through the negotiation with the sellers. Didn't push us to spend more than we needed to. Rather helped us craft the offer that worked for us and was attractive enough to the sellers. Also helped us through a very frustrating process where we almost fell out of escrow because our lender (Wells Fargo) failed to come through with an appraisal on schedule.

Helped make our dream come true!

Helped make our dream come true Carlos was recommended to us by our friends (who used Carlos to purchase a home & their parents have purchased a few homes working with him as well). I grew up in the Bay and always dreamed of owning a home in SF, but never believed it was possible. We were living in the Pacific Northwest at the time but reached out to Carlos early 2019 as we wanted to understand the market and if we even had a chance. He answered our many questions and really listened. Over the course of a year we flew down a few times to look at homes in a batch of neighborhoods (even though we weren’t ready yet since we needed to sell our home). An agent may have felt like we were wasting their time, but Carlos never made us feel that way. Instead he really got to know us and exactly what we were looking for. Once we felt confident we could find something, we got ready to put our home on the market… then 5 weeks before it was set to, COVID hit. We weren’t sure what to do, but did opt to list (we were shocked when it went pending in 1 day). We now had to scramble to figure out where we were going to live. I called Carlos, and a day later was down to SF to look. That morning, the perfect home came on the market. It was so new I didn’t even review the listing, but Carlos did and he had a feeling it was the one… and it was. It was where we wanted to be, with a tunnel entry, two beautiful trees in the backyard, half block to the muni, a block to the restaurants, and two blocks to the park (all we wanted). He helped us put in an offer he felt gave us the best chance (he really understands the market, which is so critical in SF). We put in our offer and waited. I was set to head back north, but we went to look at the home one last time. While doing so, he got the call the offer was accepted and we both teared up with joy knowing my dream since I was little actually came true. Carlos is wonderful, and if we ever opt to move, he’ll absolutely be our agent again.

Stellar experience front to back

Carlos helped us look at multiple properties and beyond his professionalism, dedication to the process and overall market knowledge, he was a joy to work with. We had a specific type of property in mind that took a significant amount of time to locate and Carlos helped us at every turn. Beyond finding the property for us, his counsel during negotiations with the seller and the signing process was always thorough, measured and efficient. Highly recommend Carlos and would partner with him again in a second.

A very pleasant experience

Carlo skillfully and expertly helped us purchase a home in Gualala in a highly competitive multi offer environment. We appreciated his experience and competent handling of devising a perfect offer. At all times we felt supported and accompanied by his highly professional approach. Carlos was always responsive to questions and concerns. We highly recommend his services.
