Top notch sums it up. The team of Bill, Lydia and Magda did a phenomenal job with the recent purchase of my new home. From start to finish, the team managed every aspect in the most professional and efficient manner, persevering through a challenging situation. Not only did they bring their expertise to the table, but also a caring, kind and tremendously thoughtful approach. Knowing the team had my best interests at heart brought me peace of mind throughout the process. Their expertise was invaluable as was the professional relationship they had with the seller's agent. If you're considering buying or selling a luxury property in Marin, I strongly recommend the team of Bullock and Sarkissian. I couldn't be more pleased with their professionalism, sincere dedication and focus on a positive outcome.

Just when you think you have a plan, life happens, and 3 months after purchasing our Tiburon home we needed to sell. Other “top” agents snickered and rolled their eyes. Bullock Sarkissian Team rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They invested in new photography, video and drone imaging and executed an aggressive strategy to market our property internationally. The Bullock Sarkissian Team understood our sense of urgency and relentlessly pursued every lead and opportunity to sell our home. They sold the property in 3 months off market. A miracle by anyone’s standard, but it did not come easy, and only resulted from their hard work, skill and determination. It sold because after the buyer demanded a 25+ item request for repairs, the Bullock Sarkissian Team called in favors from their Rolodex of contractors to complete the work quickly and cost effectively. True to their word, the Bullock Sarkissian team said what they were to do and did it. When people show you who they are, believe them.

1. Lydia is extremely market savvy. Her regular market updates kept our property price competitive which sustained our traffic in a crowded market. She is also extremely protective of the seller, only presented offers that were vetted and prequalified, and always had our back on counters. 2. Stuff happens in escrow, this is where Bill shines. He has seen it all and is a thoughtful counselor. He drives a thorough upfront disclosure and inspection process which simplifies the price negotiation and accelerates the escrow timing. 3. Our house was vacated shortly after our listing went live. Magda actually staged our house virtually on line and showed interesting design possibilities. Very cool totally modern marketing. Together, this team generated multiple offers from highly qualified buyers in a sophisticated and competitive marketplace.

The Bullock and Sarkissian Team are first and foremost closer's! They bring their knowledge, resources and expertise to real estate transactions and get the job done for sellers and buyers alike. We have sold two off-market homes in Belvedere through Lydia and Bill, and now Magda over the past nine years. In both cases they had discriminating buyers interested in very specific properties. Once mutual interest was established and price agreed, the Bullock and Sarkissian team goes to work and executes working 24/7 if needed. Contracts, inspections, disclosures, negotiations etc. are all handled with calm, but necessary urgency, professionalism, and precision. The team has depth, beyond the named principals, and deep contacts in the Marin market to execute the sale. At every step of the way a member of the Bullock and Sarkissian team was with us, ensuring everything went according to schedule. We could not be happier with the professionalism, the process and the happy outcome.

The Sarkissian/Bullock team has represented me in 2 high-end Belvedere sales, and my friends to whom I referred them, in 2 high-end purchases. They’re the perfect team – Lydia and Magda run a flawless operation and Bill’s the best contract guy I’ve ever worked with. They’re smart, extremely conscientious and attentive to detail, with vast knowledge of the market and years of transaction and listing experience. I wouldn’t consider anyone else to handle my real estate.

I have worked with Lydia, Magda and Bill on 4 transactions totaling $30 million. They are consummate professionals - tenacious, hard working and sincerely care. Whether you're considering selling your home or looking for your next abode, I strongly recommend that you visit with them.

You will not find a team with more experience or heart–we are clients for life! As first time home buyers, we relied heavily on the expertise of Lydia, Magda and Bill to help us identify, negotiate and ultimately close on our dream home in Marin. Every question we had (and there were many!) was answered with great care and the utmost professionalism. Bill and Lydia have the kind of market knowledge, connections and deal instincts that you’d expect from professionals with nearly 40 years of experience. If you’re serious about buying or selling a home in Marin, there really is no other team to consider.

Thank you to Bill, Lydia, Magda and their spectacular team for an amazing job helping us to buy our new home and sell our old home right next door. Bill and Lydia blew our expectations every step of the way, working tirelessly to help our family get our home market ready and sold. The stager they recommended, Margot Oven was genius, reasonable and incredibly easy to work with. Their photographer, Matt took the most beautiful photos and created the most insane marketing video to show off the property. Lydia managed the 80 people who came through our open house with ease. The next day, Bill and Lydia were on the phone accepting multiple offers over asking and reviewing them with us until 11pm. We were able to hand pick our new neighbors, a family with young children. We were in contract in just 3 days and had a quick, smooth sale. Just incredible for our neighborhood where sales tend to take longer. They are a rockstar team and we could not be happier in our new home with our new neighbors!

Lydia and Bill are a dynamic and complementary force. Lydia is warm, approachable, immediately engages with you as a client and is sensitive to your concerns, needs and interests. Bill is thorough and very knowledgeable of the real estate markets through many cycles and brings a quiet gravitas to the union. He is a man of few words, but when he speaks, you know it is with much thought and foundation. They are excellent at representing the client’s needs toward the end game of closing. Both are good listeners and really try to understand their client’s needs. We felt our interests were very well represented, and Lydia and Bill are easy and gracious to do business with. We trust them both implicitly and recommend them highly. We would do business with them again without question.

All I can say is that without Lydia’s professional and heartfelt work I would not be in my beautiful new home. A good agent is more than someone who shows you properties. Lydia is committed to making her clients happy. She works hard and really knows her market. She also makes deals happen and is a joy to work with. On the selling side both Lydia and Bill were an incredible team. Lydia kept my focus on the deal and off the emotions that can come with selling a home that you have lived in for many years. I could not have gone through this process without them. I have worked with other agents over the years and I have learned through my experiences that this team delivers."
