We had an absolutely awesome experience with Simon when we purchasing our home i don't think it could get any easier. he was knowledgeable , personable, thoughtful and patient . Thanks
Simon Watson was excellent in my home buying process. i am now the proud homeowner of my second home, a beautiful little condo. Recommended by a friend, Simon was very patient, took me to multiple listings, and has a great grasp of the local market. an excellent experience, very detail oriented, would highly recommend!
We have just had the pleasure of working with Simon, on our recent purchase for a townhouse, in Benicia. We are older folks and integrity matters to us... Simon is the "real deal." Simon was knowledgeable, patient and forthright, with pointing out flaws or issues in the numerous properties we looked at. Above all, he wanted us to be happy.... We are beyond delighted, with our recent purchase. Simon is diligent, patient and will go the "extra mile," whenever you need it. We would refer him to anyone, in a heartbeat. THANK YOU SIMON!!!!
My wife and i recently bought a home in pleasant hill with simon's help. i can't say enough about how lucky we were to have had simon on our side! he is incredibly responsive, has a deep knowledge of the market, and an expert eye for assessing homes (partly from his former life as a home inspector)! he would see things in homes that we hadn't, and would point them out for us to consider so we had full information - even though it often meant we weren't going to buy the house! he is an honest broker who puts his clients interests first! for our purchase we had an especially challenging seller who made the process a difficult roller coaster ride. simons help navigating through it was invaluable! i highly recommend simon to everyone. you won't be disappointed!
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!
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.
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.
I just bought my first home and couldn't be happier with the help I received from Simon Watson. A town home was perfect for first time buyers in terms of price He was very responsible person and answering any questions I had at any time, weekday or weekends. He was so helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing a home, he made sure every detail was handled and everything we needed explained. As a buyer he's not pushing you to buy but rather helping you to find your ideal home. I highly recommended him, Thanks for everything
We really enjoyed working with Simon. He got us a great home at a great price! He protected our interest at all times and even got a price reduction for things that were discovered during the home inspection. We would hire him as our agent again.
We just purchased our first rental property in Concord and Simon made it a great experience.He was able to effectively communicate with the seller and make the sale a super smooth transition. We were also doing a 1031 exchange and again his experience knowing about them was very helpful. He has even helped us with brainstorming ways to get the most out of our investment and get the most rent. I would definitely work with Simon again and would recommend him to anyone!
