Mr. Amadeo Arnal is the best realtor you could ask for, he is an incredibly kind and knowledgeable realtor. He was always available, always helpful, never pushy, and had our best interests in mind at all times, he was not only knowledgeable, attentive and responsive but also passionate about helping us. He walked through the homes as if he was going to live there with his family. He helps spot any issues or concerns that may go overlooked. He took the time to understand what we were looking for, he was also knowledgable about the neighborhoods and went above and beyond to advocate for us, and ended up helping us close on the house that we were looking for. Incidentally that house happened to be in his neighborhood, and still willingly he is trying to help us in any way he can. If we could give Amadeo 6 stars, we would.

He helped me find the perfect home for My parents and got us a great bargain on it. He continues to serve even after the home purchase. He has helped is change the locks, change the floors, and got us bids for landscaping. He is a FULL SERVICE agent. I will definitely use him again for any home purchase in the area.

Amadeo did a terrific job navigating us through our home purchase process. As first time buyers, we had many questions and concerns, which Amadeo was able to clearly and calmly address. His knowledge of Marin and residential transactions instilled a lot of confidence throughout the process. It was clear to us that Amadeo's priority was to find us a house that we LOVED, not just one that we liked. His responsiveness, negotiating skills, care for clients, and general knowledge make him an excellent choice for anyone looking to hire an agent.

From the very beginning, Amadeo set a high bar for what a realtor should be, and then he proceeded to leap over that bar like a true professional. The overall market has been challenging to say the least, but Amadeo navigated each challenge with a level of expertise and dedication that was nothing short of remarkable. His commitment to going above and beyond was evident in every interaction. Whether it was his strategic insights into market trends, his ability to negotiate on our behalf, or his tireless efforts to showcase our home in the best possible light, Amadeo was always a step ahead, working relentlessly to secure the best possible outcome for us. But what truly sets Amadeo apart is not just his professional acumen, but his genuine care and empathy for his clients. He understood that selling a home is more than just a transaction; its a life-changing event filled with emotions and memories. Amadeo guided us through this process with compassion, always ready to listen, advise, and support us every step of the way. Choosing Amadeo as our realtor was the best decision we could have made. He not only sold our house in a challenging market but also ensured that the experience was as smooth and stress-free as possible. For his extraordinary service, professionalism, and heart, I cannot recommend Amadeo highly enough. If youre looking for a realtor who truly goes the extra mile, look no further than Amadeo Arnal.

He is a hard worker who takes pride in what he does, his attention to details was superb, always responsive and open to easy or difficult discussions and always with a calm demeanor. He took full ownership of the entire process from A-Z as if he was selling his own home. No doubt, he will be my agent on all my future Real Estate deals. Thank you Amadeo.

Amadeo did a great job guiding us through our first time selling a home. He introduced us to a great painter, a knowledgeable handyman and an affordable and tasteful stager that really helped our house shine when listed. He was also extremely helpful during the negotiation phase after we received an offer. Going forward, we'll definitely be using Amadeo for any of our buying and/or selling needs!

Amadeo did a fantastic job helping us find our new dream home. We were out of town for a week or two shortly before closing and were getting things started on a remodel project on the new house and Amadeo was essential in getting everything sorted and organized. He helped us find a reliable handyman, a great painter and even checked in with the contractors when we were out to make sure things were going according to plan. We were on a tight timeline and I don't think we could have completed everything in time without Amadeo's help. If you're looking to buy in the Marin Country Club neighborhood, Amadeo should absolutely be your go to guy. He's super knowledgeable and well liked by other agents in the neighborhood and always knows what's coming on the market. Our house was an off-market listing and we were one of the first people to see it. We enjoyed working with Amadeo so much that we also asked him to help us sell our other house. During the beginning of the buying process, we weren't originally planning on using Amadeo to sell, but we were so impressed that we had to use him again!

Simply put, working with Amadeo Arnal was an unparalleled experience. Honestly, don't bother calling anyone else if you are looking to sell your home in Marin county. I had spoken and discussed my interests and needs with a number of agents - no one got it until speaking with and working with Amadeo. His knowledge, dedication, work ethic, attention to detail, and genuine (honest) interest in delivering results can be found directly in working with him and the results he delivers...pure quality through and through.

We had lived in our house for 32 years and were very attached. Amadeo helped us first rent the house and when that two year term was completed, Amadeo guided us through selling the house. He was excellent regarding prepping the house for sale, marketing, negotiation, and closing the deal. What could have been very traumatic was in fact pretty darn easy and Amadeo made it so. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Thanks so much, Amadeo.

We highly recommend Amadeo for your real estate needs. His experience and knowledge of the local market were very helpful, and enabled us to be comfortable and confident in our strategy to maximize the value of our property. We ran into a few surprise issues along the way and each time Amadeo used his resources to investigate solutions for us. In the end, his work helped make the process much simpler for us, and his technical knowledge of how to word the contract to benefit us was critically important in protecting our interests. He did a wonderful job negotiating on our behalf with the buyers agent, and he also stepped in and helped work through items with our tenant in a very professional and personal manner. Most importantly, Amadeo's communication approach and regular follow up kept us informed at all times through the process, which helped relieve both concerns and stress for us. When we have another home to sell, we'll definitely call on Amadeo to represent us.

We couldn't be happier with how we were treated and worked with by Amadeo Arnal. He was extremely responsive and very pro-active on communicating with us, from the sale of our house to the purchase of our new house. We honestly can't think of anything that he could have done differently or better for us. We sold our home off market and we weren't entirely sure what the process would entail and how much work it would take, but Amadeo was VERY informative and you could tell right off the bat that he knows his market and had our best interests in mind. Amadeo is also incredibly personable. On top of being exceptionally good at his job he felt like a friend after the first showing and certainly is a friend now. We would highly recommend Amadeo Arnal to anyonefor their real estate needs.

Amadeo is hands down the best agent we've ever worked with! He's extremely professional, knowledgable about real estate, transparent and communicative (always available to take calls/answer tedious questions) and most importantly trustworthy and kind. We sold and bought a new house during the week between Xmas and NYE and he was there every step of the way during a very busy time of year! We felt the sale and buy were both great values, and he prepared us upfront for what to expect, what to have ready to go, what issues might come up... just made the whole process seamless. Great job Amadeo!

Words can't do justice for how wonderful it was to work with Amadeo! We had a fairly complicated real estate transaction as we were trying to sell our tenant occupied house in Country Club in Novato, while we were living in a different state, during Covid! Amadeo made the process incredibly smooth, painless, and we sold the house with two days of listing, well above asking. Amadeo's communication, attention to detail, and knowledge of the market was second to none and I can't explain how easy the process was. He took care of every detail, which was incredibly helpful when you are a thousand miles away, and kept us appraised of the plan each step of the way. We have bought (and sold) three houses in the past six years and this process was a dream, I just wish we had found him sooner! Do not hesitate to contact Amadeo for both buying and selling, he is amazing.

As a real estate agent and investor I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of agents over the last 25 years. Never have I been so impressed by the commitment, assistance and communication from an agent. We spent three weeks prepping the house in advance of the listing. Amadeo was there every day, most days several times a day. He assisted in providing contractors, timelines, marketing, everything you could think of and then some. Several nights he stayed late at the property doing all of the little things that make a house shine, from touchups and minor fixes to cleaning, Amadeo really did go above and beyond. The nicest compliment I can give Amadeo is that Ive now instituted a number of his practices across our team because I was so impressed with the client relationship it builds. There are a lot of good realtors in Marin, but if you want excellent, I recommend Amadeo. Amadeo sets an impossibly high bar for other agents to meet, he really is a talented and caring real estate agent who over delivers on expectations.

Amadeo helped us purchase our home in Mill Valley during this challenging and uncertain time of pandemic. He was professional and efficient with our time, and always respectful of our concerns and accommodating of our needs. Before our first meeting, Amadeo helped us schedule a full agenda of viewings in different neighborhoods so we could explore the range of options available and narrow our scope. He knows Marin well and always does his homework so the day is productive and runs seamlessly, which reduces pressure and anxiety, allowing the experience to feel as it should - an important and exciting step in the adventure of home ownership. Amadeo acts as your trusted advisor - his top priority is not selling you a house, but instead helping you close your dream house. He debriefed with us after each viewing without judgement or impatience and gave his honest opinion about value or home improvement options when asked. This approach enables him to foster a comfortable environment of discovery while educating you along the way. We eventually found just the house we were looking foraEUR| Because he had been with us through our journey, Amadeo was able to reassure us that we were making the right assessment, which helped calm our nerves. By the time we returned to SF, he had obtained the disclosures from the selling agent and phoned our lender to ensure financials were locked and loaded. Amadeo worked with us until 10pm that night to review the disclosures and prepare our offer - though we acted quickly, we did not feel rushed and while it is easy to second guess yourself with such an important decision, we mostly just felt nervous excitement. Of course, there will always be unforeseen complexities that are out of your realtors control. Amadeo remained supportive and professional, always making himself available, and always prioritizing our needs above closing the deal. We highly recommend AmadeoaEUR| he cant guarantee the sailing will always be smooth, but you can be confident he will get you to your destination with calm leadership and enthusiasm aEUR| and hes an awesome guy, so you are sure to have fun on the journey, too. Good luck!

Amadeo has found multiple real estate investments that I have purchased. He located and negotiated these purchases, provided estimates for partial repairs to full remodels, knows lenders with competitive rates, and even located tenants for the properties I kept as rentals. He was always available and I was always kept informed during the entire purchase process. His guidance made the whole process run smoothly with less complications. Amadeo has also listed and sold properties for me, providing all the marketing savvy to get top dollar, as well as all the contractor contacts to make the property look its best. Again, he was always available, and I was kept informed during the entire sales process. I always look to Amadeo when the time comes to purchase or sell. It is reassuring to have his knowledge and expertise when I am dealing with real estate.
