My wife and I just bought our first home with Eli's help. Prior to choosing Eli as our agent, we met with several other realtors. Ultimately we chose Eli because he was not the typical real estate agent. He seemed more like someone we'd actually want to hang out with, who happened to also know a lot about buying homes. The Northern California (East Bay) Real Estate market is crazy. Somehow, we got our first offer accepted, which was a nerve-racking experience...
Eli helped my husband and I selling our condo while we moved cross country. We had some issues with our place and he stepped in from the start and kept us posted on everything throughout the day and week. He is extremely knowledgeable, knows the right people to prep your place to sell from stagers to maintenance to cleaning, he will get your place sold for top dollar! Highly recommend Eli and his dad in both the buying and selling process! Thanks Eli!
My boyfriend and I are incredibly lucky to have met Eli two years ago at a house that we decide to look at on a whim. At that time, we weren't near ready to buy, but Eli spent a lot of time with us explaining the process, next steps to take, and making us feel comfortable moving forward.Throughout our house hunt, Eli always made himself (or his dad, thanks Bill!) available to show us properties we were interested in and maintained constant contact regarding new listi...
Bill and Eli are where it's at!My partner and I just sold our condo and then turned around and bought a home in a different neighborhood. We loved our old home and wanted to make sure it went to someone that would love it as well and be amazing neighbors to our dear friends around the neighborhood. We wanted to make sure whomever moved in would only add positivity, respect and understanding to or old neighborhood of West Oakland. It's a very spec...
Bill sold our El Cerrito triplex in October 2017. To begin the project, Bill provided a detailed schedule of events in accordance with our desired timeline. This helped us understand the steps and sequence of events as well as time expectations. Bill and Eli met every single timeline which included recommended home improvements, inspections, staging, photography and marketing. Bill has the necessary list of contacts which made it possible to accomplish what...
Eli was a fantastic agent for my husband and I. He was always available and patient as we navigated the crazy Bay Area market. I don't know how he did it but our very first offer, a 'miracle' contingent offer with a long close was accepted. We honestly thought it would be a miracle if it was accepted but we also knew we would be kicking ourselves if we didn't try. Somehow Eli made it happen! Unfortunately after that the process was not smooth with a buyer wh...
Bill sold my house for $113,000 over the selling price! He presented the assessor with documents of comparables in the neighborhood and worked well with the selling agent. The time between the signing and the close of escrow was a little over 2 weeks! This was the first time I sold a house and there were times when I became frustrated and deeply concerned. But I felt it easy to talk things over with Bill, and he patiently heard me out then worked things out with...
Eli just helped my wife and I close on a house in Berkeley. We started earlier in the year, not knowing anything about the process and Eli was very patient with us. We found many listing through Redfin, but it was Eli that we counted on to educated us and advice us on each listing. He encouraged us to not give up after several declined offers(not his fault, the market is just too crazy) and kept us going. He was very respectful and understanding when we took a bre...
Eli consistently went out of his way to help us become knowledgable about the SF East Bay area. From scoping out potential houses, to negotiating, and to finalizing paperwork and escrow, Eli was always available to help, especially because we were buying the house mostly from a long distance; he was always willing to act as our representative for the home inspector, electrician, and other contractors. Even after escrow fully completed, Eli continued to be fully...
In our months long search for our new home, Eli provided consistent support, neighborhood education and a clear read on the quickly changing market to help us finally win a beautiful home in the Dimond/Laurel District of Oakland. We had come in at second or third place on multiple other bids, and even when we were devastated by those losses, Eli was there to champion us on and show us there were many more beautiful homes out there. He took pains to w...
