Overview of California

The Sawatsky team is very personable and knowledgeable. Buying and selling at the same time can be difficult but the Sawatsky team made it manageable. Add in a very pregnant client and it seems an impossible feat but they accomplished everything we asked and we are very grateful. 10/10, would recommend!

I have never been through anything close to selling a home moving or even renting a home for that matter. I was only helping my aunt sell her home and Maria was just heaven sent. I couldn't have asked for a better first-time experience. Maria went above and beyond what I expected from her role as my realtor, and it never went unnoticed. I appreciate her patience more than anything, her determination to always find a solution or an alternative when needed, her dedication to not only successfully sell the home but strive for the entitled amount. She loves her job being available literally seven days a week and she is good at what she does. I am forever grateful for the pleasant first experience and have all mentioned to her she will be my go-to from here on out. Believe me, you will not be disappointed, just let Maria do what she does best. :)

Very good communication and on track with everything

Tracy is a go-getter. She has her clients interest in mind and is extremely transparent. Our home search journey wasn't an easy one during the covid market, but Tracy kept a positive attitude and was able to give us better projections about the housing inventory and upcoming opportunities. She stopped us from pursuing numerous homes, as she diligently dove into disclosures and helped us analyze some risks associated with moving forward. Once we were serious about pursuing a home, she took the time to review the disclosures and was able to guide us in detail (i.e. she's very detail oriented). She was able translate piles of paperwork and answer our never ending questions. She treated our interests as if they were her own--she cares a lot about the happiness of her clients. Her client empathy is definitely one of her strengths. For the handful of times we put down an offer, Tracy kept us constantly in the loop at all times. She ALWAYS made herself available when needed. Her wisdom, [years to decades] of experience, compassionate, honesty, strong-willed and attentive attitude are some of her many qualities. It shows through in the agency she's started from the ground up "Berkeley Hills Realty". My husband and I felt like we worked with her agency as unified team. After quite a search, which was worth the wait, we found our home! We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Tracy & team.

We had such a stress free, always available to answer our 20,000 questions, professional and caring, very patient realtor. I felt at ease and had a lot of confidence with Frank Parra. Thank you for helping us find our dream home!!

As a first time home buyer, it’s scary. Maria not only explained the entire process, but still checks in on us, months after living in our new home. She was very detailed in making sure she met our every need and did not pressure us into something we weren’t going to be happy with. She had lots of listings and gracefully showed us houses that we would be interested in. Thanks to Maria, we are in a beautiful house within our budget and making memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you again for all your hard work, you are very much appreciated!

Mark is knowledgeable, responsive, and discreet. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommended Teri. It’s absolutely a pleasure having her as an agent. She knows this areas, she used her professional expertise to make my selling experience easy and untressful. The next time I choose to purchase a beach front property, I most likely choose her as my buying agent.

Kathy was such a pleasure to work with. She always had my best interest in mind. She helped me navigate the stress of selling a house. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. Her advice was always spot on. I am beyond pleased with smoothe transaction and end result!

Have to share, Simon is a great professional who is effectively engaged on ensuring the needs of his clients. Simon is very patient, understanding and is attentive. My Wife and I had such a great experience with him and would definitely seek his advise and support in the future. Would definitely recommend him. One key to note was his approach in effectively communicating anything and everything relevant to our process. He kept us on the positive lane, his encouraging words "the right one will come" ....thank you Simon for everything you did for us...blessings to you...the Valdez Family
