 + -1 moreThe process took to a long and sometimes hairy 6 months, start to finish. We were getting very discouraged toward the end and wondering if we should re-think our original plans. Thanks to Carol and Ira's patience and encouragement, as well as our own determination to live in Berkeley (for the Berkeley High School), we succeeded in finding just the right place at the right price. One of the most interesting features of our experience was the level of technological savvy of this team, including having much of the relevant data (e.g. demographics, pricing and other such trends, neighborhood scans, etc.), signing documents electronically, weekly email updates of listings and price changes, and so on. Although sometimes the technology failed us, it was easy enough to deal with it. Overall, GREAT experience. Would recommend for both buyers and sellers.

Description of Work: For the past six months, they worked diligently, with good humor, and excellent professionalism to find a house in Berkeley for our way of family life. They sent us all the listings, both as regular overall listing and specific possibilities suited to our needs and tastes. They sent us to view houses on both estate agents' days (Thursdays) and regular open house days (Sunday). They found an excellent financial person to secure the mortgage loan and saw us patiently through all the countless paperwork. After we were in contract, both Carol and Ira spent tim as we had various inspectors, contractors, and other "pre-owner" details to attend to. They also gave us names of plumbers, heating specialists, and so on, to move the process along. Before finally getting our house, we had made offers on three others, which they also processed and advised us about. These previous three offers made us smarter for the final one, for which we ended paying $30K less than original offer thanks to Ira's Savvy negotiation skills
