We made the difficult decision to leave the Bay Area after 12 years and nearly 10 in our Redwood City house where we raised our son to move cross country. Our realtors Brett and Don made everything so much easier. They are so knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods in Redwood City and strategic pricing, prepping, and decisions to make. They are full of recommendations and resources from movers to the little things. Their marketing strategies really worked and generated multiple offers and an overbid situation. They managed our expectations about the process better than anyone could have. They also made it so much easier for us to prep the house for sale and really helped support us with every little detail and our many endless questions. If you are looking for a Redwood City real estate agent, you cannot go wrong with this team. Above all they were kind, compassionate and extremely responsive! I keep saying "in Don and Brett we trust" and I will stand by that. We could not have asked for a better outcome!

We had already moved out of state and Don made the process so smooth. He was positive and and very proactive in helping us make a few modifications before the house went back on the market. I would highly recommend working with mg with Don and Brett. They were great!
The realtor team of Brett Caviness and Don Straub recently helped us sell our house in Redwood City, CA, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. Brett and Don are attuned to the market, very professional, and exceptionally easy to work with. We were selling our house with plans to buy a new house in another state. They understood all the details pressing on us and provided great solutions and advice for whatever we needed help with. We thought our property would be challenging to sell, but Brett and Don knew exactly how to market it. Within a week of putting the house on the market, we had six offers in hand, most for above asking price. The final sales price was far beyond what we had dared to expect. Brett and Don made it easy for us to move through each step of the transaction, pulling in resources and coordinating with other stakeholders as needed. I would recommend Brett and Don to anyone buying or selling a house in Redwood City.
I met Don and Brett by referral and they immediately put me at ease about the sale of a family members home in the Mt Carmel area of Redwood City. There was a lot to do to prepare the home for sale and they guided every step. They brought multiple offers and negotiated a great sale that exceeded expectations. Their combined energy, kindness and patience is much appreciated. They are a great team! Thank you Don and Brett for a job well done.
