Tess is much more than a realtor but let's begin with her realtor chops. If you succeed in landing her as your agent, please consider yourself the luckiest and know that you're in safe, expert hands. She knows the tri-valley area like the back of her palm and has deep relationships with other agents - which helped us a ton at a time when our loan officer couldn't help manage the close of escrow on time. Tess' help ranged from understanding & guiding our search criteria, pre-market finds, honest take on comparable prices, above & beyond research on homes we were interested in, setting up 5 different inspections in 96 hours of our offer, and expert tips on how to write a winning (but not an exorbitant offer). She took us on as a client while she was in London, and would often accommodate us, expecting parents, by talking very late into her nights. Can one ask for more? With Tess, you likely can. Because for us, she turned into a friend. Our toddler still tells us how much she misses her! She helped us settle into our new home, and with her husband, helped resolve some early issues, by showing up at the property and literally helped us stop water leakage. Please know that we were very fiscally conservative, demanding clients who had very specific criteria for the home we were looking for. And Tess not only met our needs - she literally blew them out of the water! She protected our interests more than we think we'd have ourselves. If you're looking for a home in Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton, or Walnut Creek - and you don't call Tess to see if she has time to take you on, you're likely missing out. We'll be happy any day to tell you about our experience with her. In essence, without Tess, we would have either not landed the exact home we needed or made a big mistake in the buying process.

Tess is the best! I would not pick any other realtor to help me. She helped me sell a house over the Christmas holiday, buy a house, sell that house, and buy another house in the time I have known her. What a trouper! Tess helped me navigate through some unfamiliar territory as a single Mom. She was sensitive to my personal wants and needs for a home, all while digging for the best fit for me. I cannot thank her enough for taking care of me. Tess is smart, resourceful, and, most of all, kind. You can’t go wrong with Tess.

I had a wonderful time with Tess as my Buying Agent. As a first-time home buyer, Tess was able to patiently explain the process each step of the way. She was invaluable in understanding the nature of the local market, as well as identifying points of interest in both the general construction and future value of the homes we viewed. Tess showed a deep understanding of my needs and was extremely responsive to my questions. Post close, Tess had a large network of contacts to put the finishing touches on the house I bought. I would highly recommend her as a realtor.

Tess is a true professional! As a seller in a unique situation, we had several firm needs and expectations - Tess did not forget one detail and was incredibly mindful and respectful of our needs throughout the process. If you’re looking for a one stop shop for your buying and selling needs - Tess and her team are the answer!

Last few years we thought about downgrading to a smaller house. Having bought and sold houses in the past we knew the process can be very painful. When we found the house of our dream the market was already in overdrive. We thought it’d be impossible for two busy working professionals to navigate all intricacies of buying and selling . But then we met Tess. She and her team took care of all so many details and preparations that are involved in buying and selling a house. She was our realtor for both transactions and will be again if we ever decide to buy or sell a house.

Tess is one of the most prepared realtor out there. She is very professional, listen well to your asks and needs. She was instrumental in getting the house ready for staging. She developed a plan and executed it. I did not think staging made a difference but it did. I almost no longer wanted to sell the house....She will take care of everything without you even knowing that she is there.Look forward to buying another house with her.

Tess Pollitz was incredible in helping us as a client three times now - as first time buyers, sellers, and now buying our second home - and we absolutely recommend working with her! Tess is always steps ahead of the game and competition, presenting opportunities before they hit the market. Both times as buyers, through her effective strategy and guidance, we were able to get the first house we put an offer on. And as a Seller, we were able to set a record breaking price for our area, vastly exceeding our expectations and making the future house of our dreams a reality. Tess and her team provide an exceptional experience throughout every step of the process. I always felt I was a top priority, although I know Tess is in high demand with her clients. We are loyal clients and highly recommend Tess Pollitz.

Taking Tess on as our Agent was the best decision we made when buying our home. From the outset, she was a true professional. First off, she took the time to navigate us through the process of buying a home in California and discuss at length our specific requirements. From then on, she worked closely with us to navigate through matching inventories, and advise us as our requirements and expectations changed. In the end, the purchase we wanted ended up being a complicated mix of inspections and repair work, having to be completed prior to sale close. Tess managed the whole process, from sourcing inspectors and quotes, negotiating with the Sellers to overseeing entire repair work. Her wealth of experience, trust within the business and contacts inventory were really evident here, and she used these to get things done quickly and efficiently. She worked tirelessly to re-negotiate prices for us and pulled every string possible to keep repair work on track and make sure that everything was completed in time for a tight close date. Tess saved us thousands of dollars which resulted closing on the property with a significant amount of equity. I have never met anyone as dedicated, organized and responsive as Tess. She was always available to answer questions, quickly follow up on any of our concerns and intervene with vendors, where necessary. Along with that, she is personable, warm and caring. During all stages of our purchase, we had 100% trust that Tess had out best interests at heart and she still continues to advise us on work we are undertaking on our fixer-upper, post close. I cannot recommend Tess enough.

We first met Tess and her team in 2015 where she helped us purchase our first home in Dublin, Ca. In 2019, we once again reached out to Tess and her excellent team to purchase our current dream home in Danville, Ca. Through out our encounters she he has delivered more than what was expected. She remained focused and committed in delivering a selling price above our projected plan, which allowed us to purchase our dream home. She is both genuine and professional and our family and friends will continue to use her excellent services. She truly has made our dream home come true. Thank you once again Tess for the hard work and commitment you and your team provide. You made our home buying experience stress free and fun.

Tess was with us every step of the way on the sale of our home. Even during this pandemic she was on top of all aspects of the process. Always communicating with us and always very upbeat and positive. She demonstrated expertise throughout the process from sales negotiation, paperwork and making sure everyone involved was on the same page.
