About Simon Watson

My name is Simon Watson and I am a Realtor based in the Bay Area. I make sure my clients don't buy the wrong home or sell a house and leave money on the table. My clients work too hard to give money away or buy a lemon and regret it later. Recently ranked in the top 5% of realtors in Contra Costa , Solano and Alameda Counties, we use cutting-edge technology such as 3D Walk Thru and Drone Video, internet marketing, as well as traditional marketing and networking to sell our client's homes. We educate our clients about which factors may affect the sale of their home, and we always price in a way that to ensures the widest buyer pool possible. We are available 7 days per week and have deep expertise working with first time Homebuyers, it can be a scary road to go down buying your first home but i will make it as painless as possible and I will there until the end. My appraisal background gives us an in-depth understanding of current market trends across the Bay Area, which allows us to accurately determine the absolute best sales price for your home. We will take the headache out of buying or selling a home. We also specialize in working with Veterans and Active Military Personal using VA Loans. Since the VA loan program's inception in 1944, the Department of Veterans Affairs has backed more than 21 million loans for veterans, active-duty military members, and their spouses. This program has made buying a home more accessible to those who most deserve the American dream they helped build and protect. One of our recent sales was working with a veteran who was currently deployed overseas. Working with his wife, we were able to get into contract a week after returning from a year long deployment using Facetime and lots of photos. It's critical for military borrowers to use an Realtor who's worked with VA loans and understands the program's requirements. If your PCS orders have you moving away, you may need to sell your home as soon as possible. Home hunting is often done from a distance and selling negotiations may have you communicating with your Realtor(R) from remote locations. Realtors who can maneuver through the agency's procedures can save borrowers from big-time hassles and headaches on things like appraisals and property criteria. You can be confident that we will negotiate on your behalf with an extraordinary level of professionalism and creativity.

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!

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!
