Having some pretty specific requirements for our new home made the search somewhat challenging. Bryan's extensive knowledge of the area helped eliminate the background noise and let us focus on houses that fit our needs. Having many years of experience in the Walnut Creek area, he was able to recommend neighborhoods that he felt would fit our lifestyle goals. Reducing the number of homes to consider dramatically reduced the time and stress of our search. Bryan was available anytime we needed him. He accommodated our schedule and made it very easy for us to tour prospective properties. He was always quick to respond to our calls, emails, and texts, which allowed us to make decisions more quickly and with a higher degree of confidence. Once we found our new home, Bryan continued to support our transition. He helped with the negotiation process and walked us through the maze of paperwork that would have been very confusing without his assistance. He gave us lots of ideas on "what if" questions as we thought about how to renovate various areas to fit our taste. And he provided a wealth of information on contractors, handy-people and various service providers. Bryan was very "up front" and transparent throughout the process. We always had confidence that what he told us would help make the buying process smooth and enjoyable and allow us to get our new home at a fair and reasonable price. We would highly recommend Bryan for your next home selling/buying experience.
Dara came recommended by our agent on the east coast, who met Dara at a conference. Clearly, Dara made an amazing first impression. We couldn't be happier that we chose Dara to work with. From the get-go, she was patient in listening to our needs and wants. It can be very difficult to work with an agent on the opposite coast for the perfect property; but, Dara took the time to consider what we wanted and recommended properties based on that. We didn't expect to love the first place she showed us; but, as I said, she listens and she really found us a gem! She viewed the property with our daughter and son-in-law and we got a FaceTime walk-through. She helped us with what she thought would be a fair offer to help ensure we had the best chance of acceptance based on the market and this unit in particular. We would not have known where to begin without being able to trust her expertise. Throughout the entire process, Dara was incredibly responsive, and patient - even when we forgot about the time change and emailed her at a very early hour on the east coast. She has a unique way of being professional and responsive and also incredibly friendly and genuine. She, and her amazing team, helped us through this process without us having any stress over what would be happening and when. She was a true partner in this purchase and we are very grateful for everything she did, and continues to do for us, since the sale. You can trust that Dara and her team are with you for the long haul. She doesn't just come in and then disappear after you close. If you are looking for a real estate agent in the East Bay of CA, do yourselves a favor and call Dara. You won't be disappointed!

Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying journey. Over the past two years, she patiently showed us many homes in the Walnut Creek and surrounding areas without ever making us feel pressured to make a decision. She always encouraged us to wait until we found the right home, and thanks to her guidance, we finally purchased a house that we truly love. Karen is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and was always honest with her advice. She was responsive, professional, and available whenever we had questions, whether it was about the offer process, inspections, escrow, or negotiations. Throughout the transaction, she went above and beyond by coordinating with the seller, lender, escrow company, and contractors to keep everything moving smoothly, especially when timelines became tight. What stood out the most was that she genuinely cared about our interests. She was never focused on simply closing a deal—her priority was making sure we were comfortable and confident with every decision. Her patience, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. We are incredibly grateful for all of Karen's hard work and support, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is an outstanding Realtor and a wonderful person to work with.
Tom sold a house for me that I had never lived in. It went for over asking price and there were many areas that Tom worked hard to clean up, repair, etc. The staging and presentation was very good and the result was terrific. Tom's knowlegde of the surroungs market was spot on and he found the sweet spot for this properety
Adam was a true professional throughout the whole process. He communicated well with me, had great knowledge of the market and brought me a great offer. I appreciated his professionalism and ability to walk me through difficult details.
I was very fortunate to Get Suzy Peck as my real estate agent. Suzy let me find myself, so to speak, as to what I should consider and explore when buying a home. She helped me explore different options and we found the best one. Her attention to detail and dealine are excellent, as well. I am truly grateful for Suzy's ability to read the market and the client's true home needs, and recommend talking with her in regard to your goals for finding a new home.
I worked with Cheryl and Lori while trying to purchase a home in Walnut Creek from out of state. Trying to find a home sight unseen was extremely difficult and stressful. Cheryl and Lori were very patient throughout the process and went to visit the homes I was interested in and took pictures, did video tours and provided detailed descriptions of the house. I ended up purchasing a home after moving to Walnut Creek and going to view homes in person with Cheryl and Lori was a breeze. They were always available to accomodate my schedule and were quick to contact the listing agent to answer any questions I had on the house. Thank you for all your help in finding my new home Cheryl and Lori!

Alyse stuck with us for nearly 2 years while we looked for the right fit for me and my wife. She was always patient, knowledgeable, and positive about our search, and we always felt well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
