Excellent Experience!!

Excellent Experience!!

Dave and Kris Arneson are the dream team....they really are! Let me just start by saying, we took years to find our house. We did not need to move and were not in any hurry, so we took our sweet time. Never once did we feel rushed, pressured or any other form of frustration from them during our search. Once we found the house we loved, Dave and Kris worked together to make it into the best possible experience. They were all hands on deck from start to finish. And there's a lot to do....the prep work of getting our house on the market, inspections and names/numbers of people who could beatify or fix anything, the strategy of pricing our house (yes there's strategy!) as well as the offer on the new house, the open houses complete with a taco truck to drum up interest, arranging visits to the new house, answering a billion questions and a barrage of requests, explaining paperwork and just overall being there for us to help and reassure us from start to finish. I think there might have even been some help moving furniture at one point! I know I missed many of the things they assisted us with, but you catch my point. They made a stressful event an excellent experience! Thanks Dave and Kris!!

Dave & Kris Arneson are the best team in Bay Area real estate!

Dave & Kris Arneson are the best team in Bay Area real estate!

As executor of my sister-in law’s estate, which included a house three hours away from where I lived, I was in need of a realtor who was experienced, competent, and flexible. The house had been neglected and was in deplorable condition needing much attention. Additionally, the house was occupied by a disabled tenant who made the house accessible to inspectors, appraisers, and potential customers on a limited and irregular basis requiring a great deal of ad hoc flexibility. Fortunately, I obtained a local referral to the excellent realtor team of Dave Arneson and his wife, Kris who took hold of this project with great zeal and creativity relieving me of most of the legwork required to get the house in a reasonable condition for sale. They wasted no time in bringing in local services to clear the overgrown front and rear yards, haul away accumulated junk and trash, make basic repairs, and make the house as presentable as possible for sale as a house with “potential”. To get the best price possible, they developed a methodology for getting the word out to potential investors and obtaining competitive bids which resulted in a more than fair price for the property. As a nice outcome to this process, the highest bidders turned out to be a couple who were willing to apply elbow grease to create the house of their dreams. Throughout the entire process, Dave and Kris exhibited a high degree of integrity, creativity, competency, and professionalism. In terms of customer support and satisfaction, they were amazing, achieving the highest levels. They also went well above and beyond the call of duty by assisting the disabled tenant in finding a new domicile. I owe much thanks to Dave ad Kris for doing such a wonderful job on this project and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the Bay Area.

Dave, Kris and team are amazing! We recently bought our dream home and sold the home we have been in for over 20 years. There were a lot of moving parts (pun intended) in making these two transactions happen seamlessly. I can not express strongly enough how valuable it was having Dave and Kris guide us through these transactions. There is no question that they exceeded our expectations and added value in terms of the price we received on the sale of our home and the advice throughout the process. If you need an experienced team to help you find or sell a home, look no further!

From start to finish, they were incredibly transparent, providing clear and honest information throughout the entire process.

Above and beyond experience

This was my family’s second time working with Kris and Dave. In the past they helped sell my parent’s home and this most recent time they helped my husband and I purchase our first home. They were available whenever I needed, they were helpful with answering questions and explaining things I did not yet know about buying a home. They were kind, compassionate, and got everything done in a timely manner. I HIGHLY recommend using them!

Home Sold, Hearts Won

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Arneson Real Estate Group during the recent sale of our San Ramon home. Selling a home is a stressful and arduous process, but their expertise, dedication, and professionalism were instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. Dave's keen analytical skills and deep understanding of the local market were invaluable. His ability to gather and analyze comparable sales data allowed him to determine a competitive and realistic asking price. His strategic approach and unwavering commitment to our best interests were truly impressive. Kris's creative flair and attention to detail played a significant role in showcasing our home in its best possible light. Her expert staging recommendations and her management of the photography process helped to create a visually appealing and inviting listing. Her ability to connect with potential buyers and exceptional communication skills helped complete the sale. Thanks to the combined efforts of Dave and Kris, we were able to sell our home quickly and at a fair price. Their knowledge, professionalism, and personalized approach made them a pleasure to work with. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dave and Kris to anyone seeking a dedicated and experienced real estate agent. Their exceptional service has left a lasting impression on us. Thank you again, team Arneson!

Couldn't have done it without them

Couldn't have done it without them

Kris and Dave went above and beyond while helping us find our house. Never having bought a house before it was so nice to have their guidance on what to look for while walking through or a house or how much renovations etc might cost. We probably looked at over 30 houses before finding the perfect one and they stayed patient with us the entire time. I can't thank them enough for all the work they put in behind the scenes to get us our house.

Super Creative Agents That Know How to CLOSE

We approached the Arneson’s a couple of years ago because we knew we needed creativity. Our first time meeting them was at an open house where they exhibited a creative approach to selling that helped potential buyers realize the property value. From the outset, they were attentive to the intricacies involved and approached our situation with a high level of creativity. Between buying and selling a home, young children, moving, and deadlines they handled it all with ease. Throughout the entire process, the Arneson Group demonstrated a remarkable ability to identify innovative solutions that ultimately led to win-win outcomes. They were always readily available to address any concerns or questions we had, providing us with invaluable guidance and recommending amazing vendors to help assist with our journey. They kept us informed and updated at every stage, ensuring that we were equipped with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions. In conclusion, I definitely recommend the Arneson Group to anyone seeking a real estate agent who not only possesses expertise in the industry but also approaches each transaction with creativity and a desire to see their clients in a new home that satisfies their needs. Their professionalism, integrity, and dedication to excellence helped us make the decision to work with them. Working with the Arneson Group was an absolute pleasure, and I am grateful for their outstanding service.

Wonderful experience

The Arneson Real Estate Group recently helped us sell our house in an easy and timely manner. Kris and Dave initially walked through the house and property with us and suggested ways to improve the appearance. They were easily accessible and answered our many questions throughout the process. They planned a ‘free’ day for unwanted items and even helped us dismantle and remove large furniture items. Finally, this group displayed their extensive experience by selling our house quickly and efficiently. We were so happy with the Arneson group who went above and beyone what we were hoping for in a real estate company. I highly recommend them.

Great experience!!!

Dave and Kris put my family's need first and were very proactive in protecting our interests throughout the process. They had very accurate and good knowledge of the market, trends, comps, and velocity of current listings. We followed their recommendations on pricing strategy and the unit was sold over listed. Our situation had several unique circumstances and challenges along the way. Dave and Kris did a great job helping us navigate while protecting our interests. Our family would highly recommend the Arneson Real Estate Group!
