ROYZE A.

Aaron Brown was referred to my husband and me by our family members. We began our home search in July, connected with Aaron in early August, bought our home in early September, and we couldn't be happier. Aaron is a true professional who loves what he does and cares about his clients, and it shows. He has built a solid team and network of trustworthy professionals who help his clients through the homeownership lifecycle from lending to maintenance to renovations. He personally connected us with an outstanding lender who was also amazing to work with. Aaron is extremely knowledgeable about the competitive East Bay housing market, helpful in understanding and estimating the costs associated with issues that we needed to address in the disclosures, and candid about how improvements to the home should be prioritized. He took us to homes in Berkeley, Piedmont, various parts of Oakland, Albany…

Aaron Brown was referred to my husband and me by our family members. We began our home search in July, connected with Aaron in early August, bought our home in early September, and we couldn't be happier. Aaron is a true professional who loves what he does and cares about his clients, and it shows. He has built a solid team and network of trustworthy professionals who help his clients through the homeownership lifecycle from lending to maintenance to renovations. He personally connected us with an outstanding lender who was also amazing to work with. Aaron is extremely knowledgeable about the competitive East Bay housing market, helpful in understanding and estimating the costs associated with issues that we needed to address in the disclosures, and candid about how improvements to the home should be prioritized. He took us to homes in Berkeley, Piedmont, various parts of Oakland, Albany, and finally Alameda, where we eventually landed a charming home within walking distance of top schools, a quaint downtown, and a park. Once we decided to put an offer on the first and only home we liked, Aaron got right to work and educated us on the process from start to finish, helped us understand what a competitive offer looks like, and gave us his take on what would be acceptable to the sellers. Throughout the process, Aaron was always available and accommodating. He communicated frequently over text and emails, answered all our questions, and called us when we needed to talk through any issues. All in all, the process felt seamless and efficient, which was very valuable and helpful to us. Aaron understands that buying a home is an emotional process and one of the largest investments any family will make. Throughout the process, he was very understanding and compassionate. He checked in on us, not just about what we needed to get done to secure the home, but also to see how we were doing after our move and as we settled in. We truly appreciated that. All in all, Aaron is hardworking, very focused, and a trustworthy Realtor®. We would 100% refer him to our family and friends and work with him again in the future. Thanks, Aron, for helping us find our first home and being so awesome to work with.

Anthony and his team are extremely professional and on top of the process at all times. With us coming into a changing market in the Bay Area, with a bit more supply and high-interest rates, we believe that we got the best possible result. Communication is key, and they have it in "spades". At each step taken Anthony or someone on his team reached out to provide detailed updates, and this also included Anthony reaching out to the GC to keep them on schedule with our updates. In addition, their strong and extensive knowledge base of real estate/construction, the Bay Area, and investment meant we were truly in the best of hands. When we first met Anthony he toured the Mid Century home that we had lived in for 18 years and recommended some great updates that ensured our home was "ready and appealing" to a new family. In addition, he began his outreach to other Realtors® and existing clients…

In addition, he began his outreach to other Realtors® and existing clients to make them aware of our property prior to listing. And we were kept up to date with where the market was moving so that we could come to an agreeable listing price. Leaving a family home is tough, but Anthony and his team even included us in the marketing process approving photos and copy, because who else would know what our neighborhood and home had to offer? Ultimately, holding only two opens over a week we received a great offer with no contingencies and a two-week possession.

FORREST B.

My partner and I were first-time home buyers and we bought our first home last year with the help of Aaron. We had an amazing experience with him and I can say confidently I'd recommend him to anyone. Aaron is experienced, empathetic, sharp, and a fun person to work with. As first-time buyers, we were inexperienced, had lots of questions, and were a bit all over the place at the beginning. Aaron took a pragmatic approach to guide us through discovering what we wanted, what we could afford and achieve, and how to execute. Writing your first offer is a stressful experience but with their help, we felt confident. Once we had an offer accepted and had entered escrow there was a ton to do but again Aaron is an expert and shielded us from details he'd be able to handle and let us focus on the work that we as buyers would need to complete independently with our lender, the inspectors, etc. We c…

Additionally, after we moved in, Aaron has always been more than happy to help connect us with and recommend high-quality contractors in his network when we have wanted or needed to find someone to help make repairs or improvements. Aaron: Thank you! And to those of you reading this: Connect with this person, he is excellent.

Working with Anthony is such a joy! He is so good at what he does. He helped us buy our first house 8 ½ years ago and our next house just a few weeks ago. Each time we made one offer on one house and it was accepted. That’s quite a track record! Our friends and family tell us how lucky we are, but it isn’t luck- it’s Anthony. He is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and he acts fast and knows how to close the deal and make it happen. Anthony is caring and generous and he goes above and beyond to help his clients achieve their dreams. We are in the process of selling our first house with him now and once again we have complete confidence and trust in his expertise and guidance. Peace of mind is priceless.
