A five-star rating doesn't do Ricardo and Sequoia Real Estate justice! He's a 10-star agent who works extremely hard for the benefit his client. He recently managed the sale of my fixer-upper home in Pinole and he brought his deep real estate experience and knowledge of the current market to the listing resulting in a highly profitable sale for me and my family. The outcome certainly exceeded my expectations. Ricardo, his Sequoia team, and other third parties involved in preparing my home for the sale were all top-notch, professionals. Please don't hesitate to choose Ricardo for your real estate needs. His guidance throughout the sale was invaluable, always communicating timely, and meticulous with his follow up. He truly does put his clients first!

Lisa and Ricardo are amazing. We had a house to sell which was in probate, and Lisa and Ricardo made the transition as smooth as could be. We had the house sold in a month and they handled everything.

Mr. Velazco was extremely patient, knowledgeable, passionate, and very caring of with me as his client. He advocates for what is best and breaks down the process very thoroughly in order for everyone to feel comfortable and confident about their choice. He is always available and promptly returns your phone calls happy to assist and answer your questions (even if you have a million of them!) It was also a plus that he speaks Spanish! He was a life savior when it came to Real Estate questions. He is a genuine caring person and guides you 100%. I trusted his decisions and instinct.

My wife and I have done almost 3.5 million dollars worth of business via Ricardo through Sequoia Real Estate. That experience has been delightful. Ricardo is a powerful negotiator and extremely professional, yet remains down to earth with is clients. We went through the process many times with Ricardo and he has been patient and not once pressured my wife or I on a purchase/sale. It's not about his bottom line, but rather getting you what you want. He has shown this time and time again, even telling us to walk away from lucrative deals because we weren't happy. That kind of commitment is something hard to find from a real estate broker. I look forward to building a real estate empire exclusively leveraging Ricardo. A small part of me regrets showing proof of this gem to others, but he has just been too good to us for me not to.

This review is long overdue. My wife and I chose Ricardo after speaking to a number of realtors in our area. His professionalism, expertise, and demeanor were the perfect fit for our family. At no point did we feel pressured to make a decision and he was always available to answer our questions even while he was on vacation with his family! Even with the competitive bidding wars in the bay area, Ricardo was able to help us purchase the home of our dreams. I would encourage any potential sellers/buyers to call him. My family, including two children, can't thank him enough.

Ricardo Velazco, Managing Partner of Sequoia Real Estate has known my husband for over 20 years. They recently reconnected when we were looking for a top notch agent to help us both sell our current home and buy our new one. Ricardo is professional, knowledgeable, savvy AND fun to work with. He has amassed an amazing team of experts which helped us with staging and inspections. With his expertise, we listed our home in 13 days and sold it (well over list price) in less than 10 days!! In addition, he helped us navigate the complex "brand new construction" world and acted as a skilled mediator when needed. Every step of the way we felt taken care of and highly valued. He respected our time constraints (we have two very young kids) and always had time for our calls or texts. We are absolutely thrilled to move into our brand new home next week! We give Ricardo Velazco and Sequoia Real Estate our highest recommendation!

We could not have been happier with the amazing service provided by Ricardo Velazco and his Team. We are first time homeowners and what is normally a stressful experience, was made easy with Ricardo guiding us through every step of the way. Ricardo was very responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable. When initially looking in the Benecia area, Ricardo spent a Saturday afternoon touring my husband and me around town. Once we found our perfect first home, we closed escrow in less than 30 days! If you are looking for an honest agent who has your best interest at heart, Ricardo is the best fit. He is our real estate agent for life. I would definitely recommend Ricardo for your home buying or selling needs.

Amazing realtor! I met Ricardo when he was helping my mom sell her house about a year ago. He did such an amazing job really made sure that we got the most for her home. He made sure to walk us through the whole process, including what should be fixed or changed to sell the home, and the staging. I knew if I was to buy or sell my home I was going to work with him. So, I did! Our family needed a bigger home so we decided to buy and sell. We knew it was going to be difficult because we have kids, but he sure did make the process easy. We had an offer for our home on the 1st pre-open house.... that was crazy! We also ended up finding a home which he made sure every inspection and safety issue was covered before we purchased, which meant a lot because of our kids. Everything fell into place. I have already recommended friends / family to him and will definitely not use any other realtor. Our family considers Ricardo a friend, not just our realtor!!!!

Ricardo took the stress out of the sales process, which by its very nature is trying. He coordinated every aspect of the sale of our home for us, even when we were out of the country. Ricardo's integrity is mirrored by the contractors he chose to prep and stage our home so it would show at its best within our budget! Negotiations were smooth thanks to his in-depth understanding of the real estate market and the buyers interested in the area including the value of solar on our home. Ricardo is a great realtor. He listens well and will adjust the process to meet your desired level of details. If you want a "turnkey" process that keeps you informed and a Realtor that is professional with a sense of humor he and his staff are the right match for you.
