Working with Sebastien Colas was an incredible experience. We were in a position where we needed to sell our home quickly, but we weren't willing to leave money on the table. Sebastien completely understood this delicate balance and executed a flawless strategy. From the perfect initial pricing to the strategic marketing, he managed to generate immediate interest while still driving up the offer price. We secured a fantastic deal in record time. If you want an agent who listens, understands the market inside and out, and delivers results without compromise, look no further!

Sebastien is seriously the best! He knows the Alameda market like the back of his hand is fantastic to work with and on top of that he really looks out for the best interest of his clients. I really can’t overstate how good my I really can’t overstate how good my experience with Sebastien was.experience with Sebastien was.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Sebastien as our agent. He is kind, polite, attentive, and thorough. You can tell he truly enjoys his work and is always looking out for your best interest. He isn’t scared to give you the facts or let you know when something might be a challenge. Sebastien was incredibly supportive throughout the process and even helped us resolve a minor issue with the sink days after closing. He’s a great communicator and very dedicated to helping clients find the right fit. He has great knowledge about what to note when touring homes (I’m a first time home buyer, so this was incredibly helpful since I had a LOT of questions), has thorough knowledge of the local market, and helped us strategize effectively to get our first offer accepted (twice!). We would absolutely use Sebastien again, but we just purchased the perfect home so we aren’t moving ever again. I cannot recommend Sebastien highly enough. He made our buying experience as seamless as possible and we are just thrilled with this work and our new home. Thank you Sebastien!

He was very helpful throughout the process of buying our first home and instrumental in negotiations. We couldn't have done it without him. I am so excited about our new home.

I had a great privilege of having Sebastian as my agent. From the start to the end he was very helpful. He took his time explaining everything. Sebastian was always available and responds to every call and text message. A super nice guy and would recommend him to anybody I know.

Sebastien was responsive to our needs and hyper communicative. Even on vacation he was reachable and plugged in. Sebastien was thorough. He showed up at every house we showed interest in and inspected it until he was satisfied that he'd be able to answer any questions we'd have and until he had every question of his addressed. Sebastien was also very knowledgeable. He asked the right questions to the sellers, dug into details about each property, and had deep market knowledge to integrate into our understanding about each property. Finally, Sebastien builds relationships. He connected with sellers' agents and built tremendous rapport with them each time we submitted an offer.

We were first-time buyers on a property that came with some real complexity, and Sebastien was key to making it all work. He handled everything with confidence and calm, knew what mattered, knew what didn't, and never made us feel like we were in over our heads. When we came up against multiple offers and weren't sure we'd come out on top, his strategic approach to the terms — not just the price — ended up making the difference. His charm and ability to put everyone at ease went a long way too. Throughout the whole process he was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely available whenever we needed him, which as first-time buyers was often. He was the steady hand that kept everything moving. We trusted his read on the market, we trusted his instincts, and he delivered. Would absolutely work with Sebastien again.

Sebastien is a phenomenal strategist and a savvy negotiator. In a market as competitive such as the Bay Area, you need someone who is fast and very well-connected. Sebastien managed to draft and submit my offer with speed, and his rapport with other listing agents gave me a distinct advantage. He provided precise input on strategic pricing and potential repair costs, which made me feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. Sebastien is truly a professional who clearly understands how to win in today’s real estate market.

Sebastian was excellent in getting us up to speed to buy our first home. He found the perfect house for us early in our search and helped us negotiatiate a great deal and fast closing. I would recommend him to anyone.

As a person that purchased a home on their own, Sebastian made the process easy, clear and stress free. From the day I met him during the house tour to the day I closed, the experience was easier than I could have ever imagined. He made himself available to take my calls/texts at all hours of the day, had numbers to contractors in almost all fields and also continued to check up on me even after I was moved in. As someone who has friends that are realtors, I would still to this day continue to go with Sebastien.

He was with me the whole time way with positivity & exuberance. His demeanor was always upbeat. He hails from a small coastal town in Brittainy, France-which I had the rare chance to visit on a day trip when I was married ( my ex is from Jersey, Channel Islands).

* Responsive and flexible. * Domain expertise with income properties. * Principled position on risk based decision making. I was upfront with Sebastien that identifying a "perfect" property was an ambiguous challenge. He supported a multi-month exploration of the marketplace where we reviewed properties ranging from condos to SFHs to small commercial apartment buildings (5+ units). In the end we were able to bridge my absolute requirement to provide housing for adult children while mitigating run-rate risk with additional rental income potential.
