Calla and Augie have made the selling of our home as simple process. They guided us, advised us, communicated with us, and were very responsive to our needs. Calla and Augie were great about helping with the industries terminology, protocols, attention to detail, and managing time lines. We highly recommend them, and can not express our gratitude enough.
Augie and Calla Bertao were extremely knowledgeable about the market conditions and provided terrific guidance for us when selling our home. They operate with the highest level of integrity and honesty and have garnered a high level of trust with their fellow realtors and title companies in the area over their 31 years in the business. All of this made our house sale process extremely efficient and a great overall experience.I would recommend Augie and Calla Bertao for any real estate needs!
Calla and Augie are extremely professional and kept us up to date on a daily basis regarding the transaction progress. They are very knowledgeable on contract negotiations. Their recommendations on preparing the property for listing helped us receive top dollar at closing. We highly recommend them.
Very professional, knowledgeable and caring staff! This is my 3rd home purchase and by far it has been the easiest transition I ever had. I highly recommend them!
I cannot express how amazing it was to work with Calla. From day one she was there for us. She listened to what we wanted in our first home purchase. Calla made herself readily available to whenever we needed her. Sending us listings as soon as they popped up and to seeing them that evening. And in a crazy market she was able to find our family our dream home. She did all the heavy lifting and negotiating to ensure we were taken care of. We cannot express our gratitude enough to The Bertao's and what they have done for us! Thank you!!
We just Love, Augie & Calla! Felt like we became good friends with them through the whole process! Soo kind and friendly! They are extremely knowledgeable in real-estate! They have lived in Hollister for years, and know the area very well! We moved to Hollister 25 1/2 years ago and they were working here when we first moved in. They were on top of everything, every step of the way! Calla was constantly updating us as we went along! We highly recommend them!!Ken & Kim Thomas
We have been privileged to have Calla and Augie serve us as both home buyers and sellers. We were so impressed with them when we were trying to find a home that we didn't think our impressions of them could get any better. But we were wrong. The service they rendered to us after we decided to sell even exceeded our previous experience with them. If you haven't figured it out already the Bertaos are thee go to realtors for all your realty needs. Go with the dream team of Calla and Augie you won't regret it.Vic and Tammy
The Bertao's are a professional team. They work hard for you and are very knowledgeable. They have represented us before in a purchase and a sell. It was very stress free. They handled everything. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in any future real estate deals.
Very sincere and trustworthy agents. I will be forever grateful for their negotiation skills and help in obtaining the purchase of a home for my elderly parents. They are highly ethical, compassionate and well-represent the Hollister community.
Calla and Augie Bertao were a pleasure to work with. They are both very professional and friendly. I would use them again and highly recommend their service.
They were professional and showed an attention to detail and communication which is much appreciated when going through the process in selling a home - really any business transaction. I would recommend their services without hesitation.
Augie & Calla are professional, extremely knowledgeable about R.E. in our area, and very thorough. They went above and beyond any other realtor we worked with over 40 yrs.
We went to see Calla with a couple of houses in mind. She met with with us nearly immediately after hours. Right away, Calla sprung into action and assisted us with submitting offers. From the beginning she explained things to us clearly and answered our many questions. We felt incredibly safe with her meticulous accounting of each step in the home buying process. She was available via email, telephone or in person to answer questions, provide documents and follow up with each step. We were so impressed with her kindness and conscientiousness for the entire process. We would recommend her highly and would definitely work with her again!
We were very happy with Augie and Calla's services. My husband and I enjoyed working with both of them. We felt heard as far as our goals and felt like they approached marketing our property with our goals in mind. Selling a house is stressful, we sold our home of 27 years and Calla and Augie kept us sane while we did.They were highly recommended to us, we met with them and 2 other realtors who were also recommended. For us, it was a very comfortable working relationship and I highly recommend them to others looking to buy or sell in the Hollister area.
I owned a residence in Hollister for approximately 15 years. It was a rental. I was thinking of selling it, but wasn't certain whether or not to keep it as a rental or sell it. I was familiar with Calla and knew that she was a very honest person. I also knew that she and her husband, Augie, were very experienced real estate agents. So I spoke with Calla several times about my thoughts and asked her for information about what the market was like, how long the house might be on the market, and possible sales price. Calla and Augie provided thoughtful information. I decided to put the residence on the market. Calla and Augie were very helpful in providing me with business contacts to help get the residence ready for sale. The house sold after several months through their efforts. I truly appreciated everything they did for me along the way.
"There arent enough words to describe Augie and Calla. They were our realtors 10 years ago (2008) when we purchased and again now (2018) for the sale of our home. They are honest, trustworthy, hardworking, always available via text, phone, email or in person. Their wealth of knowledge, of the real estate market makes selling or buying a breeze. Augie takes amazing pictures of your home; which pictures speak volumes. We highly recommend them! They even assisted and helped our mother with the sale of her home (she was at her home for 52 years and that was a huge move for her and they made it a simple and easy process). It was our pleasure doing business with them and we will miss seeing them throughout the community. They are wonderful people who are also involved in their community." With Augie and Calla, we felt like we were with family.
Very professional and big help in getting house ready to sell and setting a price. House was on market for 4 day and received multiple offers. Would highly recommend them to anyone
Over the 27 years we have personally known Augie and Calla they have sold and helped us purchase 5 homes, each with extreme professionalism, honesty and proficiency. Their relaxed but detailed way of doing business assures you your home will get the maximum dedication and price in getting the best results in minimal time. We have never been disappointed in their service resulting in being repeat customers alongside a longstanding friendship.
Augie and Calla sold a home for us in Ridgemark (Hollister). I can't imagine better agents. Every aspect of the process, from answering my questions, to preparing the home, to pricing, to handling the sale went smoothly. On top of everything Augie and Calla are very nice people.
Both Augie and Calla were extremely helpful in the sale of our home. I found them both to be well versed in our local market. Calla was very thorough and took time to explain each step of the process. I really appreciated their dedication to us!
Calla and Augie are over the top, go the extra mile or two if it gets the job done. Without a doubt the most personable, pleasant and dedicated Realtors we've ever had the pleasure of coming in contact with.
Augie and Calla have been the most professional realtors we have ever worked with. Since we are new to the area and purchasing this type of property, they have gone above and beyond our expectations with helpfulness and support. They provided us with many recommendations, contacts, services, etc to help us with this purchase process.Plus they are truly good people and a delight to know.
Calla has been terrific to work with in my search for a new home. I live out of the area & she is extremely helpful with her knowledge of the area and history of the locale. I would highly recommend her as an agent. She is punctual, meticulous and has a great deal of experience in real estate.
The best Realtors I have ever dealt with. They are very professional and considerate explaining all details of the process. San Benito is lucky to have such a hard working teamCR Rogers
Our experience with the Bertao's was beyond exceptional. They patiently worked with us for 6 months to find us the right property and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. Augie & Calla were right by our side, guiding us step-by-step during the sale of our current home and purchase of our new home. Their honesty and sincerity is clearly what sets them apart from other relators. Without the Bertao's we wouldn't be living in our dream home. We'll be forever grateful to them for making this a positive and memorable experience.
We have worked with Calla & Augie Bertao several times to purchase or sell properties. They are always professional, considerate, and up to date on any changes in the real estate market. They are the only agents we would consider using in San Benito County!

I cannot say enough good things about the Bertao's. In purchasing my first home Calla was there every step of the way with guidance and suggestions. My experience was truly flawless thanks to her!
We've been working with Calla and Augie for over a year and they made our first home buying experience amazing. Calla was informative, patient, and made sure any and all paperwork was handled in a timely manner. She also provided insight and suggestions regarding several aspects of the buying process. We would definitely recommended them to family and friends.
Our friends were previous clients of Augie & Calla Bertao. So when we elected to relocate to Gilroy, CA, we chose them as our realtors. Calla was absolutely great in all aspects of buying and selling properties. They are very nice people, who share their knowledge, assist you in your home process and are always there when you need any further assistance. They are experienced and keep up with all trends of the real estate market.We highly recommend them and if the occasion arises again, we will definitely utilize their services!!
Calla & Augie truly had an understanding of what we were looking for, and found it for us. They pleasantly guided us through our transaction, and explained the procedures, so that we were fully informed on how everything would work. Our schedules were accommodated whenever anything was needed to be signed or discussed. We highly recommend them for any real estate needs!
Augie and Calla helped us buy our first home. Buying our first home was stressful however with Augie and Calla helping us and explaining everything to us in detail it made it a smooth ride. I will use them again in the future when I buy our next home.
My husband and I heartily endorse Augie and Calla--they represented us in the selling of our country home and again in the purchasing of a new home in town. No transactions like this ever go smoothly, thank God for their expertise in steering us past the minefields. They made what could have been an expensive nightmare into an enjoyable educational experience.
This was our first experience in dealing with this dynamic couple and it was an outstanding one! Both Calla and Auggie made us feel confident in their abilities to handle the sale of our home. Although this experience was an emotional one for us, we never felt that our sale was any less important than all the other sales they jungle on a daily basis. Our sale went smoothly, was handling professionally, and with the utmost of confidentiality.We highly recommend them and their excellent customer service skills to all those looking for a quality realtor!
In June 2009--difficult time re: home sales--we listed our Hollister home with Augie & Calla Bertao. They have been highly rated realtors in the San Benito County & areas south of San Jose. We ourselves had known them for approx. 13 yrs. ( they represented the home's builder in our purchase of the home). On both sides of the deal we found them knowledgeable, open, honest, available & timely. Augie, in our recent sale, supervised several final workman related issues we were unable to physically manage ourselves as we had had to make our move to our new home in El Dorado County.Due to their up do date knowledge of the local market & personalities, we had more than one offer on the house and a completed sale in JUST ONE MONTH!!! In today's market, who can beat that?Since we have known Augie & Calla re: both the purchase and sale, we highly recommend you use them when YOU have any real estate needs.
If you are looking for an agent that has your best interest in mind during your new home purchase, then Augie and Calla are the agents you want on your side. Very responsive and patient. They took the time to show my wife and I almost every home in the Hollister, Salinas area.
We have purchased several properties with this agent/team. IMO they stand out in the world of real estate. They are very knowledgeable about the local market and the business and if they don't have an answer they find out quickly. For example, our last purchase was a short sale at sort of the beginning of the crash. They really helped us navigate the process and eventually we closed the deal. Furthermore, they are really nice people and very easy to communicate with, not your average real estate types. Lastly, they have high degrees of professionalism and ethics. We have recommended them repeatedly to both friends and family and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
We have closed on several properties with the Bertaos. They are committed to giving you great customer service and have been very accommodating over the years. They are very knowledgeable of the real estate market in Hollister and surrounding areas. We have used them time and time again for their ability to get the job done right the first time.
I was told by a co-worker that I should call the Bertao's and it was asolutely the right thing to do. Augie and Calla know all the right questions to ask to help me find the home I was looking for and at the correct price. The are very professional and knowledgable. I will, with out a doubt contact Augie and Calla again when I am ready to sell.
We enjoyed working with Calla. She is personable, reliable, and friendly. She walked us through the entire process of purchasing a home and promply answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend her.
We have bought 2 homes and had them as our agents. Both times had a great experience. Found the house that fit every need we had as well as in the neighborhood we requested. Very pleased.
Augie and Calla are awsome. they made buying a home so easy. Am ready to buy my second home and wouldn't think about going with anyone else!
