Simon Watson was outstanding on both the purchase of a property and the sale of a property In Walnut

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!

Simon Watson 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!

My wife and I recently bought a house in Lafayette with Simon Watson's assistance

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.

My fiance and I were first time home buyers, not knowing much of the home buying process

My fiance and I were first time home buyers, not knowing much of the home buying process. We decided to go with Simon Watson as our Realtor, he went through every single detail with us and was very helpful every step of the way. Having Simon on our side was a plus as he is extremely knowledgeable in the field. His experience and patience shows, teaching us the ins and outs of buying a home. He was always available to see homes on very short notice and had good comments/tips to offer, Simon is very easy to talk to and pleasant to work with. We love our home and can definitely see ourselves working with him again. If you read this thanks again Simon

Simon Watson is an excellent real estate agent

Simon Watson is an excellent real estate agent. He went above and beyond his duties negotiating a great deal for us to be able to buy our house. He tirelessly took us to see many houses over a six month period of time, on short notice and gave us his honest feedback on fair offers to make to purchase our dream home. He is an extremely ethical and diligent agent who is more interested in providing excellent customer service and fair and honest representation than just "closing the deal." We were not used to this type of service from other real estate agents. He does his due diligence in identifying flaws and potential hazards/risks in the properties that he shows his clients. Simon is a five star agent!

After having a few bad experiences with other real estate agents, Simon proved himself again and aga

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!

Simon is an excellent realtor

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!

My wife and i recently bought a home in pleasant hill with simon's help

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!

Great person to work with!

I just bought my first home and couldn't be happier with the help I received from Simon Watson. 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. I highly recommended him. Thank.

Mr. Simon Watson should be Saint Simon

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.
