We were introduced to Burt through a friend who had worked with him on a property in Foster City. We were immediately impressed with his deep understanding of the housing market from various different perspectives.
He is extremely knowledgeable about different regions of the peninsula. He understood the different neighborhoods' history and trends, and was able to provide deep insight from a market value/investment perspective.
He is also very knowledgeable about the properties themselves. He would always doing a very thorough check and patiently going through them with us, pointing out pitfalls and also areas of hidden potential. When we found a charming fixer-upper, he drew on his renovation experience to suggest upgrades that could maximize its value. On some other properties, he was quick to point out cheaper flooring or kitchen upgrades that would need replacing after not too long.
He was always patient and attentive, listening carefully to our needs and tailoring his recommendations accordingly. Although we were browsing for properties online, the listings he showed us were always our favorites. We felt very assured in our time working with Burt.
We did not end up buying a house with him because we decided to look in a different area for family reasons. Nevertheless, I would not hesitate to recommend him. Just during the few months we worked with him, we felt like we had learned so much. I highly recommend Burt for anyone looking for an exceptional real estate experience.
