In today's real estate market, it is such an advantage to have an experienced real estate agent going to bat for you. Simon made searching for a house such a fun experience and all the phone calls and texts were returned very quickly, he did not require that we sign an agreement to work with him which made me feel more comfortable. I am convinced that if we chose anyone else but Simon we would never have purchased our new home in such a competitive market as we see today. From the very beginning to the very end Simon had our backs and helped us with negotiations every step of the way. I would definitely work with him again in the future and recommend him to anyone who values trust, transparency and honesty.In today's real estate market.

Last month my wife and i embarked on the (potentially long and arduous) journey of purchasing our first home. without any recommendations from friends or family in the area, we turned to yelp in hopes of finding a realtor that we could trust. we were looking for someone with expertise and experience who knew the ins and outs of the walnut creek/pleasant hill/concord market. We knew we would have tons of questions, so we were also looking for someone with patience and understanding. We really wanted someone that would guide us through the process, beginning to end, and who would go to bat for us when it counted. we are very fortunate that we found Simon and David. From the initial meeting my wife and I knew that we had found everything we were looking for in a realtor and more. Simon was always in constant communication with us and never seemed bothered by our numerous questions, concerns, and check ins. We were easily able to view the properties that we were interested in and Simon was very thoughtful and insightful when it came to evaluating whether or not it seemed like a good fit for our family. Once we finally found "the one", he moved very quickly to make sure the process moved forward, even through the after-office-hours back and forth of the offer decision...what a trooper. His opinion and insight during the offer/counter offer period was invaluable and, ultimately, we got the house of our dreams. Not only did he make sure all of our inspections were set up, but he was personally there for all of them, even when we could not be. My wife and I would use Simon and David again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone looking at buying or selling, whether it's their first home or fifth. They are a great team and we are happy that we found them.

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.

My husband and I were looking to purchase a home in the San Francisco Bay Area using a VA loan-- no small feat! We came across Realtor, Simon Watson, on YELP and contacted him after reading his great reviews. We couldn't be more thankful for Simon's diligence, professionalism, and expertise, not only pertaining to Veteran's loans (and the VA Condo approval list), but also to the entire home buying process. As first time home purchasers, we didn't know what to expect, but from the first telephone conversation that we had with Simon, he took an ample amount of time to explain and prepare us for what would be an exciting, albeit stressful, process. After visiting a few condos in Oakland, Simon helped us submit our first offer-- which was accepted! A few days later, however, the Bay Area "Shelter in Place" order was implemented and my husband and I became increasingly nervous about closing. Simon was there for us, every step of the way-- he was ALWAYS available by phone, text and email-- and not only kept the process moving, but he also kept us calm. He effectively communicated with our lender, the listing agent, home inspectors, electricians, and even city officials, on our behalf. And, although the lockdown made appraisal and even home inspection timelines unpredictable, with Simon's help and guidance, we were still able to close on our condo in less than 40 days. It is difficult to articulate how much Simon did for us during such a short period of time, in the midst of a pandemic. But we can confidently say that, throughout the process, Simon had our best interests in mind and constantly puts his client's needs first. For these reasons, we highly recommend working with Simon, whether you are looking to buy a new home or condo in the area.

Simon is awesome. He's Straightforward, patient and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with how streamlined the buying experience was in such a hot market. Simon was always on top of things, thoroughly explaining every step of the process and keeping my interest in mind. I enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who's knowledgeable in this space and cares about his clients.

Simon is very knowledgeable and very fast to respond to any questions I had. I've used him as both a selling agent and buying agent and he's been fantastic with both transactions. I highly reccomend him as he will give you great feedback/advice throughout the process.

As first time home buyers, we were very fortunate to have found Simon Watson. Our first meeting with him was easy to set up. We did not know ANYTHING! and Simon guided us so patiently and thoroughly. His extensive experience and connections definitely helped us with all aspect of buying a home. He was incredibly responsive whenever we had questions and extremely knowledgeable about the whole process. I cannot say enough good things about him as a realtor and a person, He is very knowledgeable and someone you can trust is looking out for your best interest.

Simon Watson was a rock star from start to finish! My wife and I were first time home buyers and as those who have been there before know it can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming. Simon was there to answer any questions we had even before we started looking for houses. This allowed us to make smart and informed decisions when it came time to buy. As soon as we were ready to move forward he was on the ball helping us at all stages of the process from home viewing, home inspections, and closing ESCROW. He even hand delivered the keys once all was set and done. I would highly recommend Simon Watson as he is trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable. Thanks Simon for your help with our first time home buying experience!
