Gerry Bakalian

Gerry did a fantastic job in the marketing, negotiation, and closing on my lot that he listed. I have completed many real estate deals over the past several years and Gerry was THE most responsive real estate professional that I have ever dealt with. Great job and highly recommended.

We did quite a bit of research to vet Gerry and found that not only did he have great experience, but he came with stellar references and was a really nice guy! Gerry helped my sister and me to sell a piece of property in the Oakland hills. From the get-go he made insightful recommendations on pricing, marketing and advertising to help make sure the right "eyeballs" were on the listing. And clearly it worked, as we had a couple of really strong offers within 10 days of posting the listing! We had seen (and been told of) several lot listings that had sat on the MLS for several weeks, so it was great to have such quick response. I would recommend working with Gerry wholeheartedly!

Gerry has represented my wife and me in three transactions in 10+ years. He helped us find and purchase our first (starter) house in Oakland, sell that same house 10 years later (for well-above asking), and find and purchase our current (move to the burbs) home in Lafayette. Gerry's deep knowledge of the East Bay market -- not just the city, but the specific neighborhood, street and house history -- is hard to beat. He knows his stuff, does his homework, is easy to work with, and has the respect of his peers. We bought our current house in Lafayette in competition and I believe Gerry's reputation as a no-nonsense, good-guy closer was a significant factor in helping us come out on top. We highly recommend that you call Gerry if you are looking for your dream home in the East Bay.

We are writing to express our pleasure with real estate agent Gerry Bakalian, who sold two of our hillside lots in Orinda. With his experience and professionalism, Gerry guided us through the entire process. We credit Gerry with the success of the sale of our property. He was there to assist us in reviewing all of the details, maneuvering through the few obstacles that arose while our property was on the market, and then walked us through a no-hassle escrow. This was our first time selling non-developed property, and we had no idea what to expect from the process. Gerry’s knowledge and experience with the Contra Costa County real-estate market was the only way we were able to have such a satisfying experience as sellers. To reiterate, we are nothing but pleased with Gerry Bakalian and his expertise and we recommend him to everyone. Richard and Page
