Over 123 5-star reviews on Zillow

Our reviews highlight the results we consistently achieve. As a result of this comprehensive approach and our attention to detail throughout the preparation, presentation, marketing, and negotiation of every home we sell, over 98% of these homes received multiple offers, regardless of market conditions, with nearly all selling in excess of 10% above their neighborhood average sales prices, over the course of our $200M+ sold in Silicon Valley.


7 Years nationally ranked top 1/2 of top 1%, per Santa Clara County Association of Realtors® (out of 6,000+)

We approach every transaction focused on maximizing the return-on-investment of those we assist. Nevertheless, we never lose sight of the fact that behind the financial bottom line is the human one, and we value relationships and our reputation for uncompromising quality above all else. Doing a lot of little things slightly better adds up to make a big difference.


100+ Homes sold & remodeled in last 2 years

Our greatest pride stems not from the number of homes we have sold but from how we sold them — our high-touch process — and the ROI each seller has realized as a result. We love what we do, which is reflected in the considerable time and energy we devote to maximizing the ROI of every home we sell in our uniquely competitive housing market and also helping buyers identify below-market deals and remodel as well. We specialize in Trust Sales, and mainly out-of-area sellers.


2 Credentialed negotiators

While most Realtors have little to no credentialed training in negotiation, we both learned and honed these skills through formal education with the Harvard Business School Negotiation Mastery program (Ryan) and extensive experience as an attorney (Tim).


$1.8M+ Seller tax savings in past year

Investing the time in up-front tax planning with savvy trusted professionals maximized our sellers' realized returns by minimizing Uncle Sam’s bite of their profits, specializing in 1031 Exchanges among other time-tested Trust solutions.
