Working with Sebastien was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He not only guided me expertly through the home-buying process but also showed an incredible knowledge of the local area - city of Alameda 94501 and 94502. He knew the neighborhoods inside and out—school districts, amenities, traffic patterns, future developments, and even subtle differences in community vibes—which helped me make an informed decision beyond just the house itself. His market research was thorough, giving me a clear picture of property values and trends, and his negotiation skills ensured I got the best possible deal. Throughout the process, he made everything smooth and stress-free. He took care of the negotiation part with the seller's agent, and patiently answering my questions and providing guidance every step of the way. Beyond the transaction, he offered valuable referrals and resources for moving in, from reliable contractors to service providers, which made settling into my new home seamless. We are greatful to have him from the beginning to the finish point. Having an agent who combines local expertise, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend Sebastien to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and approachable agent who truly looks out for their clients’ best interests.

I was recommended Sebastien from a friend who recently bought their home with his help, and I couldn’t be happier with his results. Sebastien was extremely attentive to what I was looking for in a home and helped me tour several candidates. He was a huge help in assessing the older homes we looked at, making sure to look at the electric for any evidence of knob and tube and examining the foundations to ensure safety and accuracy of the list price. We lost out on a couple of homes initially due to high interest, but Sebastien was friendly with every listing agent and had them rooting for our success. And when we finally landed on a home we were willing to fight for, Sebastien made sure our initial offer was competitive and kept in close contact with the listing agent to ensure we could meet any counter bid without going over our budget. Sebastien is an incredible thorough agent, and you can really tell he cares about his clients and makes sure that they find the home they truly love. Would highly recommend him.

Highly Recommended Expert in Alameda! ​Working with Sebastien was an outstanding experience. We chose to handle the initial home search ourselves, but his expertise and guidance in the critical stages were absolutely essential. ​Sebastien is a true partner and a total professional. He provided invaluable, precise input on strategic pricing and delivered accurate estimates for potential repair costs, which clarified the long-term value of every home we considered. ​He was always available and incredibly patient with our delays and doubts. Despite any hesitation on our side, he managed to draft and submit every offer extremely fast. ​Perhaps most importantly, he clearly and thoroughly explained every single detail and nuance of the documentation. His attention to detail is remarkable: he even discovered an error in the escrow paperwork that the officer had overlooked. ​We felt completely protected and informed throughout the entire process. If you want an agent who is responsive, patient, and brings a superior level of analytical expertise to your home purchase, we highly recommend Sebastien.

We've worked with Sebastien for over five years, starting as renters and then as buyers in the market for our first home. Sebastien helped us navigate the complicated world of Bay Area real estate and was always a phone call away to answer our (many) questions and provide thoughtful advice. We especially appreciated how he never pressured us into making decisions and always advocated for our interests. His sense of humor and warm personality also helped to make the complicated process of buying a home a lot more enjoyable. After a long journey of tours and offers, we finally purchased a home and are very happy with the outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Sebastien and he will definitely be our first call if we decide to buy or sell in the future.

I highly recommend Sebastien Colas as a real estate agent. He did a phenomenal job made my home buying experience enjoyable. He truly understands the market and is a very savvy negotiator. His skills greatly exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Sebastian did an amazing job with the sale of my father’s condo. Since we live out of the area, we relied on Sebastian’s knowledge of the market to guide us through the process. He was professional, always available for our many questions and went above and beyond to find the right buyer. I highly recommend Sebastian Colas!

I worked with Sebastien for roughly 6-7 weeks on my first home purchase. It was quite the experience. He and his team were responsive and patient as I and my family spent time combing through the choices he curated for me. We were able to meet up with him and spent 2 days visiting 7-8 to different properties to get a feel of what worked for me and what was undesirable. Once we had settled on a property, he got me connected with an escrow agent while I spent the next 4-5 weeks haggling with my bank/lender. He advocated for me during a period of stagnancy with the bank/lender. And he was always available for questions that I and my parents had during the whole process. Would recommend him and his staff. Very great, calm, and professional. Absolutely enjoyed working with him.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Sebastien Colas to purchase our condo in San Francisco, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Sebastien's expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. What impressed us most was Sebastien's ability to break down complex aspects of the transaction in a way that made us feel confident and informed. He took the time to thoroughly explain all disclosures, ensuring we understood every detail about the property. His knowledge of financing options and market conditions helped us make well-informed decisions at every step. Sebastien was responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to finding us the right home. His attention to detail and proactive communication made what could have been a stressful process remarkably smooth. We always felt like his priority, and his guidance gave us the confidence we needed as buyers in San Francisco's competitive market. We highly recommend Sebastien to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate agent. He truly went above and beyond our expectations.

Sebastien was an outstanding realtor for us. Our house had been on the market for many months when he step in. Hr was able to market and sell our home in a matter of weeks!

Sebastian is responsive, dedicated, knowledgeable and has an incredible network of professionals working with him. We loved our experience with Sebastian and highly recommend working with him.

Sebastien is knowledgeable and experienced, always prioritizing your best interests and offering support throughout the process. What I appreciated most about Sebastien is his flexibility and non-pushy approach. He respects your timelines and consistently works to secure the best deal possible. It was a pleasure working with him!.

We were in a hurry to sell because of an unforeseen international opportunity. Not only did Sebastien know the market like the back of his hand (he got us exactly what he said, and significantly over what other brokers wanted us to list for), he was on top of every detail. We sold in 3 days! He was not only extremely professional, he was kind during what was for us a stressful and difficult decision. He took care of every tiny detail he could, and called us with updates and help. Our property was unique in ways that made it both desirable and challenging. We couldn't have asked for anyone to grasp the unique condo agreement we have, nor the nature of the property, better or faster than Seb did. We found Sebastien through our friend, who was buying a different home, and who was every bit as happy with the process and outcome as we were. That says something to me. Not only did Sebastien help us to sell, he used his contacts abroad to find us a real estate lawyer who is giving us the same top line service we've come to expect from him, and without whom our transition to our new life would be much, much more difficult, if not impossible. Kudos all around, and fingers crossed for the speedy and successful resolution of our next purchase. Way to go, Sebastien! Thanks for everything, and count on us for referranls any time!
