Selling a home can be a stressful situation but not with Simon Black! He is a consummate real estate professional that works with you to understand many points of view related to your home. From the very beginning of the journey when we met with Simon to review the real estate market landscape in our neighborhood to the final closing he kept us informed and supported every step of the way. He will deliver marketing recommendations and a project plan with a common goal of finding you the best buyers for your home. We highly recommend working with him and we thank him for working with us!
Simon's a triple threat and you definitely want him on your side! He genuinely cares is great at building relationships with people (huge help in this competitive market where insights from the seller's agent can make or break you) and he's an effective communicator and negotiator. My wife and I were looking to buy our first home in the East Bay and met Simon at an open house. We hadn't done much research at that point and Simon was very patient in answering all our Qs (we had a ton!) about the market and process. We immediately agreed that Simon was our person! We weren't always able to make the open houses; Simon was very accommodating with our busy schedules to show us the homes. He'd be quick to get us disclosures and meticulous in addressing our concerns. We had 2 failed bids before third time being the charm and with each bid we learned a ton - it hurts to lose a house but it helps…

He'd be quick to get us disclosures and meticulous in addressing our concerns. We had 2 failed bids before third time being the charm and with each bid we learned a ton - it hurts to lose a house but it helps tremendously to understand why right away (for instance - nothing you can do about an all cash offer that's 10% higher than what you're willing to pay!). When we finally won a bid there were some tricky timing issues during closing and Simon handled it like a pro communicating with all parties involved and keeping everyone honest. In short - despite the crazy Bay Area market Simon made the home-buying process as painless as can be.
We wanted to sell our home quickly with a little drama as possible. So we did what smart people do: we hired the best local realtor in our area. The house Simon helped us sell is in the Montclair District of Oakland on a great up-slope lot. Simon did an extensive marketing campaign for us and as a result we had 10 offers all over asking and the house sold in 12 days. Everyone in the deal is happy!If are looking for an experienced effective easy-going real estate professional to be your expert in your home purchase or sale Simon Black is the person you want.Don't say you weren't told!
I have partnered on deals with Simon and have found him to be an agent at the top level of our industry. Simon's experience professionalism candidness and the high praise he received from my borrowers and acquaintances he had worked for speaks volumes to what Simon brings to every transaction. He is honest responsive communicative and patient. In the process of negotiation Simon's experience and persistence make him a fierce advocate for his clients and consistently employs tact and diplomacy in dealing with all parties throughout the process; he keeps everyone working together retaining a (helpful) sense of humor. My borrowers and I feel incredibly lucky to have Simon as an agent and recommend him most highly.
Buying and selling your home can be one of the more involved activities of your life. You need someone who's experienced working on your behalf to ensure you get the most for your dollar in today's highly aggressive market.
