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...

Eli helped me to purchase my third home. He is without question the nicest, most reliable, and honest realtor I've ever worked with. He brought a level of personal caring to my experience that goes far beyond what's to be expected. He was patient, a great negotiator, and helped me to secure a home far beyond what I had hoped for in a tough market. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I am very grateful to have had Eli Fletcher by my side in the search for my home. As intimidating as I thought the process was going to be, working with Eli was such a positive experience. His dedication is unmatched, and his genuine excitement at the prospect of securing someone a home is contagious. Eli found me a home in a wonderful neighborhood. I am able to ride my bike to work and be involved in the community that I serve. I will be forever thankful...

My situation was rather unusual in that I live and work about three counties away from where I hoped to relocate. I appreciate how Eli worked out ways for the purchase to happen without me having to make multiple 4-hour round trip drives. I am especially grateful for how Eli took it upon himself to meet with the appraiser contracted by my mortgage company. He believed it important that he give the appraiser, who was coming from out of the area, a comprehens...

Bill was always accessible during a long(more than a year) process that included obtaining a transition loan; buying a new home; pre-sale preparation of our for sale home; moving into a new home; and the sale/closing of our old home. He was easy in his approach towards us and professional in his dealing with other agents, craftsmen, and service people. Most of all, both he and his son were nice guys to work with during those trying times.

Selling the family home was not an easy decision or without issues,  but Bill and Eli did everything they could to make the process as painless and as profitable as they could.  With every situation that cropped up, they had an answer, even if the answer meant we take our time and do nothing for now. Many realtors would have put on the pressure, but not these two. When they say you, your needs and feelings are the priority ... believe them! With their exten...

We were referred to Bill through a mutual friend when we began our search for our first home in the Oakland/Alameda area.  We also met Eli, his son, at our first meeting.  Both of them know the Bay Area very well and were able to advise us on neighborhoods as well as bring many years of experience in real estate to our search.   Bill and Eli were very responsive as we came under a time crunch.  We went through 9 offers as the market was crazy and being that...

Worked with Bill & Eli when I bought my first house in the east bay. I can't imagine how the process would have worked without them. They were helpful, knowledgeable, understanding, patient and provided great advice. At the end of the day I ended up in a place that was perfect for me, even though when I started the process I would have ruled the place out!They gave me the time and space to come around to what I needed, even thought that took a bit of...

Bill and Eli are the best realtors we've ever dealt with. We were buying a house in Berkeley. From first contact, to multiple bids (common to the area), to finally getting a bid accepted, Bill and Eli were responsive, in-the-know, and on top of everything.  Once we finally had a bid accepted, things went south because of the seller (to the point where we hired a lawyer). But Bill and Eli kept in-step and held our hands through the entire process.  Bill really knows (...

I owned a house in the Hiddenbrooke development in Vallejo, but live in San Diego. I decided to sell the house, and on the recommendation of a relative, I contacted real estate agent, Bill Fletcher of Red Oak Realty in Oakland. While I was impressed with Bill, I was concerned that Hiddenbrooke was not located in the East Bay area where Bill normally works. After talking to Bill about his marketing plan for the house, I was convinced and gave him the listing. That wa...
