For nearly 10 years, Justin has been a knowledgeable and supportive partner to his Bay Area clientele. From first-time homebuyers to veteran investors, Justin is sought out for his friendly demeanor and concierge level of service. Working with him offers access to a comprehensive network of resources, tools, and professional guidance on virtually any local neighborhood or real estate topic.
His goal is to make sure that no matter what surprises rear their head, his clients have an advocate who can anticipate problems and deliver on any property dream. My wife and I could not be happier with Justin. We were first-time buyers and he was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful about our preferences and taste.

Justin is such a gem. My husband and I are now recommending him to all our friends and colleagues... and now on Yelp, too!
We were first-time homebuyers (living in the South Bay, looking in Oakland) and pretty nervous about the process. We had a bazillion annoying questions and Justin was always readily available. Before working with Justin, we'd talked to a few different agents. Here's what really made him stand out:
- Incredibly patient and nice - this is what made me first say to my husband after I chatted with Justin briefly, "I think we've found our agent." No

Justin helped me purchase my first home during the tumultuous time from January to June, 2020. He helped me clarify what my dream home looked like and walked me through the process each step of the way. For a first time home buyer with no understanding of the process, Justin's savvy and accessible knowledge, enthusiasm, kindness and empathy made it easy to form a trusting relationship with him. He is a wonderful advocate for a buyer and very pleasant to be around. I highly recommend him!

Justin was wonderful to work with! His diligence and expert guidance throughout the process made our first home buying experience go more smoothly than we could have possibly imagined. He supported us from attending open houses to closing on our dream home, answering questions and offering savvy advice every step of the way. We feel very lucky to have worked with him and would highly recommend him to anyone.

My wife and I worked with Justin to buy a house. We came to Justin after some friends had positive experiences, and our view is consistent with theirs: Justin has been awesome, highly recommend.
We are first-time home-buyers, and Justin was very helpful in answering many noob questions. He took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us refine it. Justin was really, really responsive -- answered to emails promptly at all times, including weekends, and made himself available for calls.
Justin wasn't pushy at all for us to buy something. He was patient as we dithered a bit about what

Justin was an invaluable asset in my home purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions along the way. Justin took the time to sit down with me and explain even the most rudimentary parts of the home-buying process to make sure I was able to more forward comfortably and confidently. He's extremely responsive over text and email as well as available by phone, and he makes it clear that your comfort and understanding is his first priority. He's knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient and kind -- I couldn't recommend him more highly.

My husband and I had a terrific experience working with Justin and Clare to buy our home last summer. We were first time homebuyers, and they were very helpful and patient in walking us through the process. They were always available and willing to talk things through even late at night, and especially before offers were due. The process of buying a home in the Bay Area was a roller coaster, but we felt like we were in great hands throughout all the ups and downs. They were professional, accessible, knowledgeable, and also just really down to earth and nice people to work with. Thank you guys!

I tried my luck in San Francisco but the prices kept going up and the quality kept going down, so 7 months into my hunt I turned to Oakland and Justin (along with Claire Chessen) was there to guide me.
We chatted in depth about what I was looking for and then started to look at houses. Justin got what I was looking for immediately and when the right house came along in West Oakland they were able to move quickly and guide me through the bidding process to closing even suggesting I lower the offer I was making by $25k. I was duly impressed as the sellers came back without a counter offer and

If you are a buyer in the SF real estate market right now, then you know its pretty tough out there. As first time home buyers we were really not sure what we were getting into. As we educated ourselves on the market our needs and expectations did change. Justin was extremely patient with us throughout the process and immediately met us at our wavelength.
Justin is extremely responsive over email, text message or the phone pretty much 24/7. This is pretty important if you are a busy professional

Justin was the outright ideal agent. As a first-time homebuyer, I had no idea what to expect in the San Francisco market. He was very patient and guided me through the process and was absolutely on point with his communication. He always answered my endless questions promptly - usually within a few minutes. I was always impressed with his diligence and felt like he really was fighting on my behalf. I could not recommend him more for anyone looking for a realtor. In fact - I've already confidently referred a few colleagues to him. I look forward to working with him again when I am ready to

In this crazy SF market, Justin helped me find a house that I am very happy with. He was the perfect resource to guide me through my first time home buying experience and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for real estate agent.
From our first meeting, I was pleased with Justin's professionalism, guidance and advice on how to best position myself for home buying success. He was patient with my questions and set my expectations on how he could help me search for my home. I was also appreciative with his quick communication.
I was able to find a condo within a few months of looking

If you want a trustworthy agent that will educate you, walk you through the process, knows the SF market, will give advice, and refer you to other trustworthy service providers, then Justin is your agent.
As a first time home buyer it was extremely important for us to find someone that would focus on what we could afford while still meeting our housing expectations. Justin was extremely knowledgeable and informative on what the housing market looked like in SF and all the steps needed to find our perfect home. He asked the right questions, gave the right advice, listened to what we wanted, and
