Feedback from past clients

One thing we learned very quickly from people who buy homes in Blackhawk is that most of them value their privacy. As a result, we guarantee to respect that and we won’t publicize any of their complimentary feedback, although I sincerely appreciate it.

We do, of course, represent buyers and sellers in many other parts of the East Bay. we have had the good fortune to help some wonderful people buy and sell homes in the San Ramon Valley, Lamorinda and beyond. These are some of the nice things they had to say about us, all reproduced with their permission.

We recently contracted with Bernard Gibbons to sell our parent’s home after their deaths. We cannot speak highly enough about the quality of the service Bernard provided for us. As we live out of state, the prospect of getting a home ready for market long distance was rather daunting. Fortunately for us, Bernard took out all the worry. He gave us expert advice on what we needed to do to make the home as marketable as possible within our budget, and hooked us up with great contractors. When it came time to list the home, Bernard was very savvy about exactly how to market it/price it to ensure that it was very appealing to potential buyers, and to ensure that we got the highest selling price possible. And when we were inundated with offers on our home, Bernard expertly identified which offer made the most sense to accept, which helped the closing process go very smoothly, and got us a great price on the home. We ended up selling the home very quickly for much more than our asking price, and with very few problems or worries–all thanks to Bernard. He’s an expert professional who provides fantastic service, and we highly recommend him for your real estate needs.

Thank you so much for helping us to sell our home in only 4 days… especially as it had been on the market with another Realtor for over 4 months. You really know how to sell homes. We shall certainly tell all our neighbors and friends about you and your professional service.

Michelle worked very hard for us during the sale of our home which was fast and professionally handled. The search for our replacement home was stressful as we lost out on some of the homes we bid on. Michelle was always available for our phone calls and our hundreds of questions along the way. She was caring and professional even during a couple of near melt downs. She is a great agent.

Michelle came highly recommend by our neighbor we interviewed her and agreed. Michelle always kept us well informed she is a great communicator throughout a complicated and difficult transaction. There is not enough space to relay how highly we regard Michelle. This is the 3rd house we have sold and no other agent has come close to being the Realtor that Michelle is. We did not know Michelle before the transaction, we certainly will use her again and would also recommend her highly to others, she is invaluable!

The buyer for our home was a VERY difficult person, Michelle did an outstanding job in keeping the situation under control. We choose Michelle after interviewing 3 other agents and were glad we did. She is a very professional and caring person.

Bernard Gibbons is the best realtor that I have ever had. I read his very useful newsletter every month and chose him to sell my house when I needed to move. Every phase of the sale was very well done. His list of recommended fixes was reasonable and appropriate for the neighborhood. He helped find workmen that did quality work for the right price. He paid for a stager and designer that signed off on the final look of the house prior to the open houses. His open house strategy was designed to generate the maximum interest. His marketing materials were first rate including a great brochure with first rate pictures and a custom website with a video walkthrough. He also instructed bidding realtors the kinds of bids that would be acceptable (ie contingencies). We received 8 bids all over the asking price and accepted the one that was the best all-around bid, not the highest. Bottom line. I strongly believe I received more money using Bernard that I would have with any other realtor.
