Simon is an excellent realtor. He sold our house in Vallejo quickly and for a price that we were happy with. Not only is he very knowledgeable and professional, but he genuinely cares about his clients. He gave frequent updates throughout the sale process and was always available to answer any questions. When any kind of a situation would arise, he would handle it in a calm, logical manner and get us through it seamlessly. If we ever need to buy or sell another home in the Bay Area, we will not hesitate to hire Simon!

We had tried 2 other Realtors, we were not impressed. They always wanted to push us towards something we didn't want , need or could afford . A co-worker had used Simon in the past and highly recommend him and his team, one month later, we are home owners! . Simon Watson and his team really care about their clients, take time with them, answer all questions and most of all, listen to what you want, and can afford. I can not believe I own my first home! Simon and his entire team, including the company he recommended for the loan were great. Do not hesitate, you too can own a home. Thank you Simon!

Simon has great knowledge of the local housing market.He was always just a phone call away. Expert on the VA loan process. Simon was able to guide me through my first home buying experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the Walnut Creek Area!

Mr. Simon Watson should be Saint Simon for his patience in helping us find, negotiate and close on a house we bought in Oakland during Spring, 2013. It was a fixer in a short sale that involved two mortgage holders. Communications and negotiations had to include all the parties who had to agree on each step. There were multiple inspections as well and each required scheduling among the same large group. When the inspections found a significant issue, Simon helped us resolve it satisfactorily. Somehow Simon kept everything together while counseling us on strategy to keep our bid on top. The purchase ended happily and the fixer is getting fixed. We recommend Saint Simon Watson to be your real estate agent, too.

Simon Watson was outstanding on both the purchase of a property and the sale of a property In Walnut Creek. in 2015 Simon helped us find the perfect home meeting all of our specifications. near bart, good walk score and nearly new requiring almost no matenience. in 2018 due to a relocation we sold the property and Simon was instrumental in achieving several offers over our asking price. this was accomplished through proper pricing as he really knows the market. during the sale we discovered a few minor issues and Simon managed the repairs and kept the sale going on schedule. if there were more stars i would always give Simon the max!

Mr. Simon Watson is the Best agent we have met in a long time of my house searching, especially for his efficiency, focus to the point of customer´s interests, and professional integrity. Buying house is a headache painful and timely-sensitive. We felt lucky to have Mr. Watson´s assistance, in a short time, were able to purchase the house that we love much. I am impressed and highly recommend Mr. Simon Watson.

Buying and selling a home are some of the most important (and stressful!) events in one's adult life and we were told when we was getting ready to sell our home that there are two kinds of brokers - those who will list your home, and those who will sell your home. We are so fortunate that Simon Watson was one of the latter. From the first moment we met him, we were impressed with his energy, his detailed knowledge of the market in our area, and his professionalism. Our home was extensively photographed, and a video tour made of the exterior and interior (including a bird's eye view drone video). Since we decided to stage our home ourselves, we were given thorough and excellent advice on how to set up our home interior to show to its best advantage. Because of Simon's efforts, we had a quick offer - and because of his tireless support of us through the inspections and the inevitable back-and-forth offers and counter-offers with the buyer, we had a quick sale. Unlike other brokers, he was always on our side. We could not be more pleased and we recommend Simon in the highest possible terms, without exception or qualification. And most importantly, we feel he has become not just our broker, but our friend!

My wife and I recently bought a house in Lafayette with Simon Watson's assistance. I liked working with Simon because he was always available via phone, text, or email for anything we needed. On short notice, he could meet me during the day to check out one house quickly or spend the whole day looking at multiple listings. When we visited a house, he did a great job of being there to answer questions but also giving us time and space to explore the house. He used his experience to point out aspects of the house that we may have missed. If we saw a house we liked, he emailed us comps the same day. This was critical to putting together offers in a competitive market. In the end, we made 3 offers with the last one being accepted. We are very happy with our new home and the purchase went very smoothly. Throughout the process Simon was very engaged, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Simon to anyone in need of a great realtor.

As first time homebuyers, Simon made the process a lot easier. He is extremely proactive and involved every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable and someone you can trust is looking out for your best interest. I highly recommend him!

After having a few bad experiences with other real estate agents, Simon proved himself again and again to be the best anyone could hope for. My husband and I just closed on our home last month, and we really felt secure in every decision we made, thanks to Simon's insight and support. He was always forthright and honest when we asked for his opinion, and because of that we felt much more confident as first time home buyers. He made sure to emphasize all the possibilities of a prospective home, both good and bad, oftentimes pointing out things we would not have known or thought of ourselves. His experience and knowledge is incredible, his demeanor professional yet warm, and his patience (as we dragged him around from house to house for months) was remarkable. He was never pushy, which not only guaranteed that we were making the best decision for ourselves, but also reassured us that we were not just a source of profit. He helped my husband understand all the in's and out's of the process from loans, inspections, and closing. Essentially, Simon made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience a very pleasant one, and always looked out for our best interests along the way. Thank you, Simon! We are forever grateful!

i was looking to buy my first home and after meeting with simon & david i learned a ton about the home buying process. it never felt like it was a speech/spiel. they were very thorough and welcoming of all my questions and even answered questions i didn't realize i had. they really go above and beyond. super patient. due to change in circumstances i had to pause my search for 5 months. in that time david emailed me to check in but it was never pushy. i appreciate that they didn't make it feel like i was a waste of their time. this was quite a contrast to other real estate agents who can be pushy or dismissive. once i was ready to buy again, simon & david were quick to welcome me back and map out our plan including areas to focus on and realistic price points. they really have a great grasp of current market conditions and the east bay area. while looking at houses with simon, he was great in navigating me thru cosmetic fixes vs red flags! he offered priceless expertise and insight with great experience to back. he had lots of questions to help me narrow down the type of house i was looking for. when the right house came around simon was immensely knowledgeable in guiding me to a competitive offer. working with both simon and david during the offer process was seamless. they were excellent with timely communications. i primarily worked with simon but david was always up to date on my status. i really appreciate their great partnership. simon was there for every inspection and was a wealth of knowledge. i truly felt like he was acting as the buyer-agent and protecting my best interest. after all is said and done i'm a homeowner because i had such wonderful real estate agents by my side. many thanks to simon & david!!! i have already recommend them to friends and family.

Simon saved me (a first time buyer) from myself: I put an offer in on a house and after three days of waiting, the sellers accepted an all cash offer. I wanted to put an offer in on another home, but the renovations would have ruined me with the asking price, I found a third home and they did not like my financing terms. I thought that the last minute calls at work for faxed documents, homes with fatal flaws, and bidding wars were embellished for tv: I then stepped into the real world. Simon was prepared. Had I bottomed out. 0 for 3 in less than a month? Simon told me the hard truths whether I liked it or not: he is like an old friend. Simon was always polite and still made difference between my getting some house and getting my home! Listen to him and be patient...That is my best advice. There was a listing at 6:00 am on a Sunday. I was at work but Simon went to check it out without me. Simon and I discussed it, "I think you will love this house. It has everything you were looking for, but you´ve got to get down here today and make a move on it. I think it´s going to move fast." I got off work and checked it out. It was my home...and I had to have it. I called Simon and there were already three offers in....in one (@!&*) day! I asked him for advice and we went in strong....we went in strong and won! I don´t regret a thing. I saw and bid on 4 homes in a month and have no questions....as to which one was right for me (in retrospect). Simon gave me the right advice....Simon acted quickly and at the right time...Simon knew what I liked....I got MY HOME....and that is why he gets five stars.
