Tomaj did a Great job for us! He was always honest and courteous. He helped us to get our house renovated and prepared the house for sale. Even after the sale he helped us to purchase a new home to live in that meets our needs perfectly. We appreciate him and we give him a high recommendation! I’m sure that anyone who uses him as their real estate agent will be very happy with his service.
It’s very lucky that we met Tomaj as our agent! As first-time home buyers in this pandemic time, there are lots of uncertainties and we have lots of questions/situations need to consider. Tomaj is extremely helpful and patient in explaining all the contracts and concepts, providing suggestions and taking us to home tour. Whenever I need to go on a tour or have questions, Tomaj will always make himself available with no distractions (I rarely see him talking to other clients when he stays with us). When doing the tour, he would plan it very well and make sure we don’t waste our time on the road (there was a time that we finished 8 tour with half day, very efficient :)) and explain the pros and cons for each house we interested. It took us 6 months to finally close the deal as we have gone through several rare cases but Tomaj provided very critical recommendations and we successfully let seller accept our offer without bidding (there were other 5 or 6 buyers completing with us). Although it didn’t work out eventually due to some reasons on seller side, we were happy with the process. In the end, Tomaj helped us negotiate with the seller and we landed an agreement. We restarted the searching after that and have moved in our new home for about two months now, and we love it! Highly recommend Tomaj if you want an alliance that is genuine, reliable, dedicated and patient!
I recently purchased my first home and Tomaj helped me with each step and detail (FYI I ask a lot of questions and analyze from many angles, so I need people, like Tomaj, who can give me a certain level of detail with integrity). When I started my search Tomaj listened to the details of what I envisioned as a dream space and with each listing he personally reviewed homes that could be a closer match for what I wanted in a home. Tomaj helped steer me in the direction of where I wanted to be and would be open about his opinions, while always asking my opinion first. When I needed to pause my search Tomaj respectfully and promptly helped me pause and when I wanted to resume he helped me re-orient my search, price range, process with securing loan first (note: Tomaj suggested this is required, not merely recommended and he was right). Tomaj was adaptable with requests for impromptu home viewing visits and helped facilitate documents so that I wanted to complete process and not put it off. Tomaj called and messaged with each aspect as he communicated with the seller, sellers agent, loan agents and more. I often thought Tomaj works all hours of the day and even with multiple clients I always felt he genuinely wanted to ensure each aspect was completed timely, accurately and efficiently. There are many details I still have not fully processed, but I have moved into my home and I'm very happy living here and being in this space. If you want someone patient, reliable, detail oriented and respectful, yet just the right amount of assertiveness to keep you calm and sane then I recommend working with Tomaj to look at homes and purchase a home if that is your desire.
We had an excellent experience working with Tomaj during the process of finding and purchasing a property in Berkeley. He was very engaged and helpful, giving us good tips for exploring the different neighborhoods and and everything that we needed to get a smooth closing. He got us to all the open houses and virtual tours in a very quick manner. Even weeks after closing, Tomaj continued to assist us with facilitating services and communication with members of our HOA. We really appreciate his professionalism and knowledge of real estate market. We strongly recommend his services.
Tomaj has exceeded every expectation we had during the process of finding and purchasing a property in Berkeley. We were from the Northeast and knew little of Almeda county real estate. Tomaj was very engaged and patient with us, educating us on different neighborhoods, explaining the nuances of owning a property in California, and everything to do with the closing. During the times of Covid when it was hard to get to open houses or see properties, he was very swift in arranging virtual tours and the final walk-thru. Even weeks after closing, Tomaj continued to assist us with facilitating services and communication with members of our HOA. Thank you Tomaj for going above and beyond!
Tomaj very thorough with the process and he goes extra length to make sure the process goes smoothly
Tomaj helped me purchase a property in San Francisco in a very competitive situation, with many other buyers bidding on the same property. He coached me and crafted a winning offer, and we triumphed over 12 other buyers! It was the first offer I wrote on any property, during a time when most buyers were writing offers on dozens of homes. Tomaj knows how to negotiate with other agents, write very skillful offers, and works hard for his clients to be successful. He gets the job done, even in the most competitive situations. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great agent to help them buy or sell a home.
Tomaj is a marketing genius! We had our loft in Emeryville listed with a different agent out of Berkeley for 3 months and did not get a single offer. We relisted with Tomaj and he sold our place in 6 days and $50,000 over asking! He went above and beyond his job duties coordinating with my HOA to ensure all their rules were adhered to (and they have a lot of ridiculous rules and processes !). I had already moved to the East Coast and he made the transaction seamless! I highly recommend Tomaj. Unlike other agents who tell you what you want to hear and then your property sits on the market to get stale -- he knows how to make it happen and gets it done !

We have known Tomaj for over 10 years and has become a great family friend. However, it wasn't until the month of February of 2018 that we had the privilege to work with him. We were determine to move our family to the city of Orinda due to the amazing school district. The odds were against us and Tomaj masterfully orchestrated the sale of the year for us!. We had a contingent offer in one of the hottest markets ever. We had 2 offers over ours, but a human touch connecting with the sellers with nice letter and getting the great representation of Tomaj in front of our sellers sealed the deal. Tomaj also helped us sell our home, without an open house we had 4 offers. Both processes with our lender and the sell aligned and we couldn't be happier. Tomaj is not only a professional and an expert in real state but he is a dedicated, caring and genuine human being.
Tomaj Trenda sold our house in Berkeley and was the most calm, serene and easy-going individual I have encountered in the Real Estate area. This quality of even-temperedness and pleasant, direct communication endeared Tomaj to my husband and I. Tomaj made himself available consistently throughout the process. He facilitated dealing with each and every issue of renovation and repair of our house including inspections and reports. This was a very stressful process probably because this is our first home and the first home we have sold. Tomaj was steady and thorough throughout the process. Finally, Tomaj kept us updated constantly about the Buyer's process. I would highly recommend Tomaj Trenda to any friend or acquaintance wishing to sell a home. I believe he will do his best for his client and enable the seller to obtain the best price possible.
We met Tomaj by chance, and it's lucky that we did! He was extremely responsive, pleasant to interact with, and showed a genuine interest in helping us find the right home. And, thanks to our combined efforts, we did find the right home. Tomaj kept in frequent contact with the selling agent and made a major difference down the stretch. He also helped us through the post-acceptance process and provided experience and oversight that I found extremely valuable as a first-time home buyer. Many thanks to Tomaj!
