I worked with Simon as a home buyer. He eased my concerns and helped me navigate the selling process calmly Buying a home is really scary and I had a lot of questions. Throughout the entire closing process Simon kept me up to date on everything that was happening. Not only does he listen to your concerns, but he really makes sure you are completely happy with the house you are going to purchase. I feel very lucky to have had him as a Realtor.

This review is long overdue. My apologies Simon! Simon helped us buy our first home in December 2013. My wife found Simon on Yelp and we arranged to meet at the Keller Williams Realty offices. Simon and his partner David took the time to explain the house buying process to us and asked us questions to help determine budget, location, etc. They recommended a mortgage company that they had worked with before that was good at closing a deal fast. Simon was always patient and answered all our newbie questions no matter how silly they were. He gave us a large list of properties that fit our criteria; my wife and I spent a day driving around to look at the different areas and shortlisted the ones we wanted to see. We met up with Simon in a couple of days and he patiently showed us all the properties we wanted to see. It helped that Simon used to be an appraiser and was able to spot things that we didn't notice. He discussed the pros and cons with us at each property and helped keep us grounded. We took a day to think about what we had seen and decided to make an offer on one of the properties in Walnut Creek that seemed to fit our most important criteria the best (no property is perfect). Simon went out of his way to accommodate my schedule, including meeting us at the Keller Williams offices at night and walking us through the offer letter process. He was there for all the inspections and recommended good companies for all aspects of the buying process after our offer was accepted. Overall, the buying experience with Simon was fast, smooth and efficient. I would not hesitate to work with Simon on any real estate transaction in the future!

My wife and I recently purchased a house using Simon as our realtor. He was a pleasure to work with from the time of our initial contact through closing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Bay Area and thoroughly answered all of our questions throughout the purchase process in a very timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the East Bay.

Simon Watson went way beyond the call of duty in regards to selling my house. Not only did Simon get my house sold quickly he made my life so much easier by working and advising my contractors. Simon will be my real estate agent for life!!

Simon is a super professional realtor.I worked with Simon in buying my new home in Walnut Creek.He is very knowledgeable about the housing market and important issues in buying a home.Although the home buying process for me had some bumps, he stayed with me through five offers in a difficult market characterized by multiple offers and overbidding and helped me focus on the investment aspect of real estate purchasing so that i did not overpay in a frenzied market.

David and Simon were a huge help to my family in finding a house in Walnut Creek. I had read reviews and they didn't disappoint. We initially spent timing reviewing the important things that mattered to us to help us narrow the search. They spent time reviewing listings, recommending houses and going with us on numerous searches during our time-sensitive search. I found them especially helping negotiating and finalizing the deal in this competitive marketplace.

Simon and his business partner David Zabarte work as a team and are as professional, knowledgeable and patient as you could imagine. When my wife and I started our search in Walnut Creek a few months ago, I was referred to David by a friend at work. Although we ended up working mostly with Simon just because of the way our schedules fit, we found them both to be very easy to work with and appreciated their excellent communication skills. To start, they spent time asking us questions and then they listened to what our needs were. Since David grew up in Walnut Creek he was very knowledgable about the different neighborhoods and schools. Simon had a keen eye for spotting issues as we viewed house after house. He spent a lot of time explaining the process through each stage we went through and never grew tired of all our questions. He was with us until the end of close and it was a big comfort to know that he was only a phone call or text message away. The end result was that we found a house that is perfect for our family and in a great area. Thanks David and Simon!

Simon IS as good as it gets...period. I know this sounds cliche, but it's true! My wife and I were looking for our first home and we went to an open house that Simon was showing. He took the time to show us around and asked if we had an agent yet and we didn't. He gave us one of his cards and we left. As soon as we got in the car my wife said "I really like Simon, we should consider him for our agent". We had several referrals from friends and family, but there was something about him that we both liked. He was forthcoming with pertinent information, knowledgeable, and very affable. We contacted him and he began to send us listings immediately. We called and requested to look at one house. We told him that was perfect for us, he met us in his office on a Sunday to prepare an offer. He spent the better part of an hour going through the process of making an offer, reviewing page after page and explaining to us everything! As first time home buyers, we were relieved that Simon took the time to review and explain things. We knew we had made the right choice. Oh, the offer was accepted and we close 10/16! Simon has been there every step of the way. Inspections, lending requirements, closing documents signatures, final walk through, he was there. Whether your looking for your first home or a seasoned home buyer, do yourself a favor and give Simon a call, you won't be sorry. There's a reason he has a 5 star review. I'm just sayin...

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!

Makes himself accessible and is very prompt. Most of all conducted himself in an professional manner. he took the time to see many properties. He offered advise and observations about properties and helped support the right decision for the house I bought. He did not just push a sale to make a commision
