I had a great experience working with Sebastian, he is veery experienced and very knowledgeable in Bay Area real estate. There were several times where he went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. He knew exactly what to do to ensure that at offer time I had multiple options that really helped me us to negotiate a great price on my new property. Sebastian is super friendly and easy to work with as well. I'd recommend Sebastian to anyone looking in the Bay Area and in particular to anyone knew to the area like I was.

Working with Sebastien was a pleasure. At every step through out the process I was confident that he had my best interests at hand. He was always available to answer my question or address my concerns. I am very happy with the overall process and would highly recommend him.

My requirements for a home were quirky and unusual. Sebastien listened, and helped me find a property that fit. He worked with my schedule and was consistently responsive and available to help. Typically such a large decision would make me quite anxious, and his obvious competence, experience, sense of humor and pleasant manner were highly reassuring. I also appreciate the network of tradespeople he has been able to connect me with for the work needed on the home. Sebastien has been enormously helpful and trustworthy and I've already recommended him to my best friends to assist in selling their house!

We were new to the house shopping scene and Sebastien really broke down the steps and different types of paperwork’s that came with it in a simplified manner. I am so happy my lender suggested him! We all worked pretty cohesively as after a few house visit sessions, Sebastien picked up on what we wanted and liked, which made our house visits more tailored to us. He would spot things from different houses and warned us what to look for. I appreciated all of this, his knowledge on the water systems, checking for foundation, cracks/leveling, etc. Sebastien was also great at simplifying the disclosure breakdown and made our contingency’s pretty smooth which helped us get our amazing house! Thank you Sebastien for always being readily available when we had questions or concerns. We have worked with other realtors in the past but Sebastien has deemed the winner that I would suggest anyone for in their future search of their house journey. Kudos to you Sebastien, please keep up the amazing work!

Sebastien is the best Real Estate agent in the Bay Area. Before meeting Sebastien I had worked with a couple of other agents and I never felt like they had my best interest mind. Very early on, I told Sebastien what my needs were and I never felt pressured to see anything that didn’t at the very least meet my bare minimum needs. Other agents try to convince you to like a place simple because they want to make a sale happen. Sebastien will not even recommend a place UNLESS you actually love it and it meets your needs. I’m a first time buyer, and he explained everything in a very easy way to understand so that the buying process was easy and not confusing or intimidating. He also explained diff types of purchases such as how auctions work and other non traditional buying processes. I can’t recommend him enough and have already verbally recommended him to my family that is also looking to buy. I’m not sure when the next time I will buy is, but I genuinely hope to work with Sebastien again.

Sebastien was an exceptional real estate agent throughout our entire home-buying process. His availability and support were unmatched—he was always there to answer both big and small questions. His sharp negotiation skills helped us secure the best deal possible, and he managed the transaction with such professionalism that everything went incredibly smoothly. We truly felt like we were in the best hands every step of the way.

Sebastien has been great since the very beginning of our process. Always kind, patient, and available. His expertise and knowledge of the market and regulations are admirable. Couldn't ask for more!

We were new to the area from Canada. He reminded us that flood insurance is mandatory for certain areas in the city we are interested in, and also told us the estimated cost for the flood insurance. It’s expensive considering it is annual. He also pointed out the discount points of a mortgage to our attention after seeing both of our mortgage pre-approvals. It turned out that the meaning of discount point is completely different between US and Canada. That alone saved us 30k plus. Sebastien always guards our information as per our request. While placing our offer for a house asking for 1.5 million, Sebastien suggested to start at 1.52 for the initial offer and we agreed. We told him that there were still some room and we thought even 1.55 is fair for this house. The seller countered all offers at 1.53. It indicated that Sebastien didn’t even hint the seller agent about our bottom line. We withdrew from the second round of offer due to personal issues. The house was finally sold at 1.54 million. We submitted 3 different offers. Sebastien would briefly go over the process with us afterwards each time. After the house is pending, he usually knows the final sale price right away. As a result, for all transactions, we were all spot on estimating the final sale prices. We backed up at the last step for the previous offers due to some issues we just couldn’t get over with. What he said to us is that if we wanted to get that house we could have got it. But most important thing is to get a house you will not regret. His positive attitude was quite encouraging and comforting. We finally purchased a house we like with his help. Sebastien provided excellent after services. We ran into gas auto-shut off valve issue after we moved in. He came over twice. The first time occurred around 9pm on a Saturday. When problem was not solved, he arranged the plumber coming on Sunday to fix it and he came as well. He even checked in again the next day to make sure this issue got resolved.

My family recently relocated to Alameda and my company's relocation agent found Sebastien as the local real estate agent for me. I spoke to Sebastien over the phone and was impressed by his knowledge of housing stocks in the Alameda area and his experience in helping clients buy homes in a highly competitive market. I decided to work with him. He is very responsive and gave us many good tips and advice in the home-buying process. He also recommended several very good lenders. He gave honest feedback while we toured the houses. In the end, he referred us to an off-market house, which we liked and bought. The process was very smooth and effortless. I truly enjoy working with Sebastien and will recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the Bay Area.

Sebastien was an incredible realtor to work with. He was kind, supportive, & I always felt like he had our best interests in mind during the search for a home and the offer negotiations. As a first time buyer I couldn’t have asked for a better person to assist with this major milestone. Sebastien fought hard for us and helped us secure a great deal on our dream first home. I will absolutely be seeking his help with any future property purchases.
