Jim helped my wife and I buy a home in MB after moving here from Northern California. The thing about Jim isaEUR"there are some agents who are just working for a pay check. Jim is one of those people who legitimately enjoys getting to know you and help you get into your home. And you can tell by how he treats you, and how he goes about doing his job. He was patient with us we changed our mind on our needs. He knows everyone locally, so has such great local insight. He is a class act, so has a good reputationaEUR"and that ultimately led to us being chosen over bids at the same price. And once we bought the homeaEUR"he kept checking inaEUR"and was able to hook us up with lenders, builders, and architects when we chose to do a tear down. Jim is the man. You would be lucky to have him as your agent.

Jim and his team were the best in town to work with. Jim always picked up the phone and answered the text, regardless of the time of day or what he was already working on. He and his team were nimble and wouldn't hesitate to jump in the car and meet you at a potential property or go preview one before it came out. There were days that we viewed 2-3 properties unannounced because a new location came online, and we were there within the hour. He always came prepared with detailed knowledge of the area and the property we were looking at, print-outs of the details, and an initial inspection/assessment of the property before I arrived. When it came to putting pen to paper, I typically had a DocuSign document in my inbox within the hour after the property viewing (if it was something we wanted to consider), and Jim never hesitated to negotiate hard and call on any of his relationships to get the "inside scoop" on your behalf. It is clear that Jim takes great pride in creating long-lasting and trusting relationships - real estate is not just another transaction for him; as such, you are not "just another client" or another commission to be made. As a first time homebuyer, he was able to support me with all aspects of the deal and help connect me with the people I needed to know. Jim was honest, attentive, always available, and always had my best interest as his focus. Would strongly recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking to buy in the South Bay.

Jim was easy to work with and super knowledgeable. He knows the South Bay Area really well. He helped us with a lot of different issues that popped up. He was very responsive every time we had questions. His assistant, Helga, was also really good. They were able to help us access workers for a rental property we own as well. I highly recommend him!

Jim has been with us since we bought our first home in 2013 and recently helped us purchase a new home and ran a successful sale process on our previous house. He and his team have been tremendous partners throughout and Jim is someone we rely on for honest feedback and good advice. As an added bonus he has lots of connectivity with local contractors and service providers which takes a lot of the guess work out of hiring home professionals.

Marc was an absolute joy to work with. I would recommend him without hesitation. From the moment we met Marc, he went out of his way to make every sacrifice conceivable to improve our chances of getting into our dream home. Late nights, weekendsaEUR"always available, always in a good mood, always thinking about ways he can maximize your value. He's also incredibly smart and discerning when it came to the negotiation and contingency phase. In fact, at basically every step of the process, Marc exceeded my wildest expectations about what a real estate agent could be. I will never work with anyone else and I hope everyone reading this immediately emails Marc. You won't regret it! Cheers, J.D.
