Had the opportunity to represent a Buyer who purchased Simon's listing in Walnut Creek. He was very professional and responded promptly. The whole transaction was very collaborative and it felt like a win-win all parties. I would highly recommend Simon as his level of knowledge and experience is top notch. Looking forward to future opportunities to work together!

Simon is great to work with when you buying a home in Berkeley. I worked with Simon as a first time buyer in 2012 and he was very attentive to my needs. He listens and give services. I liked the way he went over everything and gives you all the outcomes. I would recommend Simon highly. Thanks Simon. Cheers

I recently was surprised by my current "rent to own" situation degrading to a "notice to quit" situation. Simon quickly went into action by providing all of the available properties in my area and making himself available to view these properties. Thanks to very concerted team effort, I was able to select from several locations and quickly make offers and close within 6 weeks. Thank you Simon!

My wife and I recently bought a house with Simon's assistance. I liked working with Simon because he was always available via phone, text, or email for anything we needed. On short notice, he could meet me during the day to check out one house quickly or spend the whole day looking at multiple listings. When we visited a house, he did a great job of being there to answer questions but also giving us time and space to explore the house. He used his experience to point out aspects of the house that we may have missed. If we saw a house we liked, he emailed us comps the same day. This was critical to putting together offers in a competitive market. In the end, we made 3 offers with the last one being accepted. We are very happy with our new home and the purchase went very smoothly. Throughout the process Simon was very engaged, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Simon to anyone in need of a great realtor.

One of the factors that we looked for when picking an agent was knowledge. We used a VA home loan and wanted to ensure the agent we selected was very familiar with the process. Simon did not disappoint. I really appreciated that Simon was very responsive and easy to reach. His online platform is also easy to navigate. During open houses, Simon would point out things in the home or area that we overlooked. For example: type of roofing, fencing, water heaters, AC units, leaks, etc. All these things can cost a lot of money and time. When you're browsing for houses you sometimes get caught up on how beautiful the house looks, and can overlook at how much actual work the house needs underneath the freshly painted walls and carpets. So to have someone point out all these factors was a big help. Overall he is knowledgeable, thorough, and gets things done. I would recommend him!

Simon helped us purchase our home in Danville. The housing market had gone crazy because of COVID, prices were rising, and the market was unpredictable. Open houses weren't happening, and Simon had to personally show us about a dozen different houses we wanted to see. Not one complaint from him, he was always early to the showings, and kept us realistic in our expectations with the houses we saw and bid on. He responded quickly to messages, and was always available by phone for consults. Utilizing his former experience as a building inspector, he gave us valuable opinions whenever we viewed a home. He helped us get the scoop on houses we liked, and when it was time to bid on a home, helped us navigate all the nuances of real estate paperwork and procedure. He's got a good sense of humor in that he tolerated ours. We'd definitely go back to Simon if we ever decided to buy another house. Thank You.

If you are looking for an awesome, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive realtor look no further than Simon. my fiance and i had the pleasure of working with Simon on our first home purchase and he made the whole experience comfortable, enjoyable, and most importantly less scary than we thought it would be. as soon as he got our contact information from our lender he gave me a call and we talked for about an hour about our new home wants and needs and he explained the whole process on what to expect. a day or two after that we were looking at homes. What amazed me the most was his attention to detail and his honest opinions on the properties we looked at. I definitely felt he had our best interest at heart on everything. once it got time to place offers he's explained everything to a tee and answered my millions of questions. he even reviewed every document that we were to review and made sure to point out important things to make sure we understood and didn't miss anything. We will get the keys to our new home today and i'm sad that we will no longer hear from Simon on a regular basis. i am definitely going to refer everyone i know to him and will call him up when we are ready to upgrade. you will not be sorry picking Simon as your realtor!

My husband and I have been looking for a home in the Bay Area with a VA loan for the past few months, and we just found the perfect home with Simon's help! Simon is extremely knowledgeable about all the hoops we had to jump through in order to buy a home with a VA loan, and he walked us through every step. Even though the market was frustrating during this time, Simon always gave us hope and clearly cared about us finding the right home. His honesty and persistency were definitely qualities that we appreciated having in a realtor. Ultimately, words cannot express our gratitude towards Simon and his dedication to go above and beyond for us. Thanks a thousand times, Simon!

Simon Watson and David Zabarte are an amazing team! They have been very accessible and professional every step of the way. David has advocated for me in a big way to ask for credits where credits are due from the seller. I have worked with other agents and have sincerely been impressed by them. I highly recommend working with them in your next sale or purchase.
