Simon helped us purchase our home in Danville. The housing market had gone crazy because of COVID, prices were rising, and the market was unpredictable. Open houses weren't happening, and Simon had to personally show us about a dozen different houses we wanted to see. Not one complaint from him, he was always early to the showings, and kept us realistic in our expectations with the houses we saw and bid on. He responded quickly to messages, and was always available by phone for consults. Utilizing his former experience as a building inspector, he gave us valuable opinions whenever we viewed a home. He helped us get the scoop on houses we liked, and when it was time to bid on a home, helped us navigate all the nuances of real estate paperwork and procedure. He's got a good sense of humor in that he tolerated ours. We'd definitely go back to Simon if we ever decided to buy another house.

All realtors are the same? Lots of fake fancy talk and selfishness? err wrong, not this realtor. Simon is a no nonsense straight shooter that works hard and gets you results. Simon helped my wife and I navigate a extremely tough buyers market which included numerous showings and offers. Once the perfect house came along, Simon was able to help us win an offer on a house in San Ramon beating out 13 other offers. We were so appreciative that we chose the right realtor and felt like it was all meant to be. We aren't vets but Simon also does a great job taking care of vets with VA loans which speaks well of his character. Give Simon a call you'll be glad you did.

We are glad that Simon was referred to us. Simon is great to work with and very knowledgeable of the real estate market in the Bay Area. My girlfriend and I worked with Simon as a first time home buyers and were nervous because we heard horror stories of trying to buy a house in todays market with a VA loan. Not only was Simon very knowledgeable with VA loans, but he has a proven track record in closing deals with VA Loans. We were very demanding homebuyers and asked lots of questions and he listened was very responsive and gave great service. We liked the way he went over everything and gives you all the outcomes. I would recommend Simon highly.

Simon has been our realtor through the purchase of two homes. He has always been very easy to work with and works hard to ensure things go smoothly for his clients. We loved his honest and thoughtful feedback,Simon was always available and quick to respond to any needs or requests.The bottom line is Simon will have your best interest at heart and will always have your back.

We were first time home buyers and having someone like Simon guide us through the process was a blessing.Simon was patient and diligent while helping us find a house. He went above and beyond, and thanks to his efforts we now have our new home. Thank you Simon for your hard work and dedication.We would recommend Simon for any real estate services you need , whether buying or selling. He is a great asset to the real estate market.

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. 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 husband and I have been looking for a home in the Bay Area with a VA loan for the past few months, and we just found the perfect home with Simon's help! Simon is extremely knowledgeable about all the hoops we had to jump through in order to buy a home with a VA loan, and he walked us through every step. Even though the market was frustrating during this time, Simon always gave us hope and clearly cared about us finding the right home. His honesty and persistency were definitely qualities that we appreciated having in a realtor. Ultimately, words cannot express our gratitude towards Simon and his dedication to go above and beyond for us. Thanks a thousand times, Simon!

If you are looking for an awesome, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive realtor look no further than Simon. my fiancé and i had the pleasure of working with Simon on our first home purchase and he made the whole experience comfortable, enjoyable, and most importantly less scary than we thought it would be. as soon as he got our contact information from our lender he gave me a call and we talked for about an hour about our new home wants and needs and he explained the whole process on what to expect. a day or two after that we were looking at homes. What amazed me the most was his attention to detail and his honest opinions on the properties we looked at. I definitely felt he had our best interest at heart on everything. once it got time to place offers he's explained everything to a tee and answered my millions of questions. he even reviewed every document that we were to review and made sure to point out important things to make sure we understood and didn't miss anything. We will get the keys to our new home today and i'm sad that we will no longer hear from Simon on a regular basis. I am definitely going to refer everyone i know to him and will call him up when we are ready to upgrade. you will not be sorry picking Simon as your realtor!

As first-time homebuyers, we met with multiple realtors in the area. Simon and David of Keller Williams Realty were the ones we felt were most knowledgeable and put us at ease, both about the neighborhoods in Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill and the home-buying process overall. We worked primarily with Simon. He was really accommodating with our schedules (coming from San Francisco), taking us around to look at houses, helping point out things we otherwise might not have noticed or thought about since it's so easy to be distracted by the staged furniture and how the home looks. When it was time for us to put in offers and go through all the paperwork, Simon was there to help us answer any questions we had. Simon kept us updated throughout the process as well, once our offer had been submitted. Unfortunately, we went through this process more than once. Fortunately, that meant we became pretty well versed with it. Once we did have an offer that was accepted, we were in unfamiliar territory again but Simon was there to help us through it all - the inspections, the negotiations, working with the loan and title folks, everything up through having keys in hand to our new home!

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 was the best! He was thorough and professional and great to work with. He worked quickly in this tough real estate market. Made appointments and showed me available properties as soon as a new one came on the market. He was honest and forthright- no games. Great recommendation from a friend.
