<em><strong>Sellers Review: "My wife and I recently sold our home with Robert Song, and we couldn't be happier. After a thorough process of interviewing numerous agents, including top neighborhood agents, we chose Robert for his marketing plan, negotiation strategies, and extensive track record of home sales in the Bay Area.</strong></em>
<em><strong>His office wasn't local to our home, but Robert made it clear that a higher sale price isn't dependent on proximity but on maximizing exposure, high-level presentation, and skilled negotiation. And he was right--he exceeded our highest price expectations, knew the profiles of buyers and agents, and broke records in our area. I've followed every sale since, and none have come close to what Robert achieved.</strong></em>
<em><strong>Since we moved to another part of the state before preparing the house, we entrusted his team to handle everything. From securing bids for painting, inspections, and strategic updates to managing repairs and landscaping, they executed flawlessly.</strong></em>
<em><strong>Throughout the entire process, Robert and his team kept us informed, communicated clearly, and were always available for any questions or concerns. Their professionalism made the sale smooth and stress-free.</strong></em>
<em><strong>Having worked in M&A for years, I've heard many sales pitches. I can confidently say that Robert's commitment to achieving the best result is genuine, not just about making a sale. His dedication to his clients is refreshing and heartfelt.</strong></em>
<em><strong>There is no one else we would recommend more than Robert Song!"</strong></em>
We carry an immense sense of pride and responsibility to our sellers, who entrust our expertise to carry beyond just neighborhood and city borders. Its not just because our proven track record of results and service, but a validation that our ingenuity, creativity, intuition, experience, strategy, and empathy are the key drivers why the overwhelming majority of sellers still choose us when interviewing multiple local agents.
Thank you to all our clients throughout the 7 Bay Area counties who relied on us and continue to refer us to their friends and family, understanding skill and insight over simple locality are the ultimate factors that contribute to a successful result.
