We cannot recommend Robert Parker and his team highly enough! My husband and I crossed paths with Robert at one of his open houses and it was immediately clear that he is someone who is attentive, genuine and well-versed in the Bay Area market. Robert stood out because he truly listens and is incredibly attentive to your needs. For us, as first-time homebuyers, it was crucial to move at our own pace without feeling rushed or pressured and Robert was patient, allowing us to take our time and making sure we were comfortable at every step of the journey.
Another thing that set Robert apart was his actionable, practical guidance - he connected us with knowledgeable lenders, educated us on how to review the disclosure packets/ what to review within 100+ pages of disclosure packets, and coached us on how to assess a home; every walkthrough with him is like having a mini inspection - with Robert not hesitating to explore every nook, including foundations/basements with his trusty little flashlight, to ensure we knew exactly what we were getting into.
Beyond just helping us buy a house, Robert provided a one-stop-shop experience for all things home-related. From furniture shops to trusted contractors to sharing long-term renovation ideas, his service didn't stop at the closing.
In short, Robert is everything you would want in a realtor - he's knowledgeable, responsive, attentive, honest and has a strong network of realtors (a significant advantage in multi-offer situations). If you're looking for a realtor who will diligently walk with you every step of the way - then Robert is your person!!
I am providing the Parker George Team with a five star recommendation based on my experience in working with Robert and his team on a most difficult sale of property in Oakland. The Parker George Team coordinated all aspects of clean up, repair, paint, refinishing, and staging of a poorly maintained condominium in Oakland under an agressive time line. The property was made available for sale on time, and effectively marketed for two weeks. The end result was was multiple offers far exceeding asking price and my personal expectations. Robert's communication process was excellent and he continually exhibited superior knowledge of the market coupled with effective pricing strategies. I highly recommend the Parker George Team for all residential selling needs in the Oakland/Bay Area. Tim D.
