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.

Ellen was fantastic. She made the whole experience of buying a home easier and anticipated our needs and questions.

She is friendly, kind, and courteous and that makes all the difference in a stressful process working closely with someone who will represent your best interests at every turn.

Working with Angie was nothing short of amazing! She is a great listener and always attentive. She worked hard to understand our needs, likes, and dislikes. Then, went above and beyond to make additional time for us when needed. Finally, when the time mattered most, she helped reassure and secure our positioning to allow us to close on our first home! Something we will always cherish and remember!

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!

"Honest, patient, knowledgeable, and highly professional are just a few words that perfectly describe Elena. We chose to work with her after attending one of her open houses, where her incredible attention to detail and hard work were immediately obvious. Those traits are rare in the real estate world. Throughout our five-month search, Elena was with us every step of the way—scheduling inspectors, conducting thorough due diligence, and completely putting our minds at ease. Thanks to her extensive network, she ultimately found us an amazing off-market home. Elena truly listens, provides honest feedback, and always keeps her word. We highly recommend her to our friends and family without hesitation!"

Cathy is the perfect combination of professionalism, expertise, patience, and genuine compassion. She didn't just help us buy a house; she walked alongside us every step of the way as we searched for the place we could truly call home.

Throughout our long journey, Cathy never lost sight of our dream. She celebrated the milestones with us, encouraged us through the challenges, and remained steadfast in her commitment to finding the home that was truly meant for us. Her kindness, integrity, and tireless advocacy gave us complete confidence that we were in the very best hands. If you're looking for a real estate agent who genuinely puts her clients first and goes above and beyond in every way, we wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend Cathy Baigent. She is an exceptional professional and an even more wonderful person. Thank you, Cathy, for your unwavering support, endless patience, and heartfelt dedication.

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.

Carol guided us through the sale of a fixer-upper that had been in the family for more than 30 years. She understood we wanted to get a great price even though the house was not in very good shape, so she clearly laid out our options: 1) Sell the house in as-is condition to investors who would pay with cash, 2) Take on a big remodel job ourselves and sell the house for top dollar, or 3) Get inspections done, do a small amount of work to get rid of the "ick" factors, and list it for buyers who wanted a deal. Ultimately, we chose option 3, which meant that Carol had to work hard for the sale. On a tight timeline, she and her husband Soosh referred us to an excellent team of people to get the work done: a handyman, haulers, gardeners, house cleaners, pool cleaners, inspectors, stagers, and more. We were very pleased with the end result, and we highly recommend her to sellers in the Walnut Creek & larger Contra Costa County areas.
