I'm honestly not sure how to start describing Glenn, but I want to say how truly grateful we are to have found such a dedicated agent/broker. We feel incredibly fortunate. He demonstrated remarkable patience, composure, and attentiveness. He dedicated considerable time to guide us through the process of viewing the property step-by-step and provided detailed explanations for each house we visited, addressing all the specifics of the properties we intended to purchase. We entered into a purchase contract with Glenns help. I vividly recall that during the initial stages of the contract, due to unforeseen circumstances that I cannot fully explain here, we faced a very challenging period. I remember calling Glenn on a weekend around 10 or 10:30 PM, and for over an hour, he offered us valuable advice. The following morning, he continued to follow up by sending emails and contacting us to check on our well-being and feelings. His genuine care for his clients was evident. The most important qualities I wish to highlight about Glenn are his patience and his ability to listen attentively. He listens carefully to his clients' needs and concerns, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and dedication. Finally, I would like to mention that we purchased our home in Walnut Creek in 2023. I want to express that nearly two years of living in our dream house are thanks to him. It is because of his strength, extensive experience, and comprehensive knowledge that we now reside in this home. Once again, if I were to recommend someone for purchasing a house, I would highly recommend him. He is trustworthy, attentive to your needs, and reliable. You can confidently purchase your dream house with his assistance.
Glen Allen is an excellent realtor and we highly recommend him for your residential real estate purchasing or sales. Glenn made the selling process painless. He is extremely responsive and knowledgeable with all aspects of the purchase/sale process. Glenn and his team were always prepared and ahead of the game so to speak, and fielded any questions we had right away. Glenn was also helpful with our relocation by finding us a realtor in another state. Our experience with Glenn was first rate, and we will be using Glenn again whenever needed.
We were over a year into the process and had been to countless open houses before we found Glenn through a coworker. He lived in the neighborhood we were targeting, and knew details like the name of the principal of the local elementary school. He also had negotiation strategies that none of our previous agents used to make sure we were on short lists in the unbelievably competitive bay area. We would definitely recommend Glenn to anyone who is ready to buy in the Pleasant Hill area.
I highly recommend Glenn Allen. He has assisted me with two transactions. His service is consistently excellent. The last transaction he did for me was selling my rental condo. He assisted with the tenant move out, prepared the unit for sale (including managing a remodel), and marketed the home all within 21 days. We received numerous offers and were able to sell the unit for $50,000 over asking price. Highly recommend Glenn is you want someone you can really trust.
Glenn is a great realtor. He responds rapidly, listens carefully, and is an expert at investigating and resolving issues. Our experience working with him on a multiple parcel acquisition was first class.
We have been very satisfied with Glenn and his team! He represented us while selling our large family home and downsizing into a smaller condominium. We refurbished our family home for the sale. Glenn provided the ideas for cost effective changes and then provided a team to accomplish the work. Glenn watched the costs all along the process. Selling for "above asking" covered our costs and more! Plus the new family was provided with a move-in condition home (which was a key to the sale). We highly recommend the Glenn Allen Team!!
Glenn Allen did an outstanding job in helping to sell our home in June 2017. We had a complex situation and he worked tirelessly in coming up with a plan that worked well. Glenn was very responsive to our questions and concerns. He was thorough in all that he did for us. His knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market was excellent. We are pleased to recommend Glenn Allen to anyone who is looking for a professional in the real estate business.
I used Glenn Allen Team on my recent property purchase, Glenn has exceptional experience, tried, tested and a well proven track record of more than 20y in this field. His team are equally effective, through and prompt in all aspects of advising you throughout the buy process, enabling you to achieve your property goal . . . the home you want. His advice is consistent, accurate and insightful in offering real time market facts and steps to take to be the winning bid. His considerable track record proves Glenn and his team are effective and works with you in all aspects of the stages to help you secure your property.
Glenn deserves more than 5 stars. He successfully guided me through a $74K renovation and sale of my residence in California. Glenn is a master at his craft. He knows the market, general contractors, suppliers, staging, and marketing of real estate. He and his staff work hard to provide great communication, and constant attention to detail in selling your home. He is a hands person, and can move quickly when action is required. I would not hesitate to recommend he and his staff for your home sale.
Glenn Allen did a fantastic job of selling my home. From the beginning of the process till the end, he and his team (Chris Hurd, especially) were right there with me promptly answering all my questions. He was always very professional and knowledgeable. He did everything that was needed to show my home in the best possible lightaEUR|he hired people to stage my home and tighten my carpet, where needed. And when a potential buyer changed his mind, he was quick to contact a back up buyer to save the deal. I felt that he was always looking out for me. My house had multiple offers within a week of listing the house and in the end, it sold for over the asking price. I definitely will recommend Glenn Allen.
My experience with Glenn Allen and his team was outstanding. They were extremely helpful in staging the condo, providing accessories and taking the marketing photos as part of their service. Their advice and recommendations through the transaction process were exceptional. I can highly recommend Glenn and his team for your real estate transaction.
I would give Glenn Allen a five star rating in every department. He helped me with a difficult sale as I lived out of state and he handled everything from start to finish in a very professional way. Glenn got me more money than I expected, and was very helpful and answered all my phone calls right away keeping me informed. Glenn also has a great staff that were so nice to me explaining everything I needed to do to make it a great experience.
I've worked with Glenn with my primary residence (first buying it & several years later selling it) as well as my investment property. Here are the highlights: 1) Impeccable knowledge of the market (good prices for the relevant location). Glenn's ability to spot a great price in the right neighborhood is second to none. Incredibly useful both for buying and selling. 2) Ability to get a house ready for sale. Glenn has a keen eye on what buyers are looking for. He was able to help us get the house ready for sale when I was moving out of the area for work. 3) Fantastic team, and 4) he makes himself available. Every time i had a question, he'd be a quick phone call away (even though I'm sure he was quite busy, I never felt like my questions were less important to him).
Very good realtors , very helpful, sold my home in 3 weeks. Would highly recommend them.good follow up skills. They are helping me find a new place, always get back to you in a timely fashion
I had to sell my uncle's house who passed away out of state. I was in a panic wondering how I could leave a house full of a memories, collections of personal belongings and a home in need of updating to prepare for sale. I had to return to my teaching job! I called around a bit looking for help when my husband suggested I try a well established real estate network and to look for someone with a brokers license. I found Glenn Allen, a ReMax broker and his team. He found me an Estate Sale handler who was sensitive and wonderful, suggested how I could best maximize my dollars invested in fixing up the house for sale and lined up the people who performed the work in an efficient, cost effective manner. I love Glenn.
Glenn assisted me in buying a new home this summer and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him and his team. Purchasing a home can be very overwhelming and first time homebuyers can feel lost very easily. Glenn and his team gave me advice and direction every step of the way. His knowledge in market conditions and analysis of the area was extremely valuable in helping me make a decision in writing my offers. If you're looking for a realtor, I highly recommend Glenn Allen and his team!
As a first-time home buyer, I did a ton of research to be ready for the process. I still wasn't nearly prepared enough, but Glenn Allen and his team (Chris Hurd, specifically) were amazing. So friendly, so accommodating, we were in great hands through the whole process. When we saw a home we liked, Chris dropped everything to show it to us and write up an offer. They helped me decide what to offer without pushing me in either direction and took my ideas and thoughts into account, despite my inexperience. The Glenn Allen team is just that, a team of dedicated people that make the whole process simple. We enjoyed that they rented out a movie theater for customers old and new, as well as some local small businesses they use for staging, inspections, pest control and such. Free snacks and a raffle, too. Just good people to do business with.
My husband and I were very pleased with Glenn Allen and his team. Glenn was able to get us into contract in less than two weeks at well over asking-price. He was very hands-on, even helping move furniture and hang pictures to prepare our house for sale. We couldn't be happier with the way Glenn handled our home sale and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell.
Glenn was phenomenal to work with in multiple areas. He brought significant knowledge to the table around process and tactics and was very adaptable in tailoring his approach to our needs. In particular was his patience that was most impressive. He worked with us for multiple months in viewing many properties (per our request) and really helped us find our taste and preferences. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and he continues to remain a friend and key resource to us as we enter the home ownership phase. His entire staff is top notch.
This was my first home I bought it through Glenn and his team, and all stages of process went very smoothly. Glenn has a lot of local knowledge and expertise and he went extra miles in giving us more information for a first time buyer to decide.
Glenn was very helpful in our search for a new family home. He and his team helped set us up with a daily email of the latest listings so that we could view potential homes as soon as they became available. Glenn provided information on neighborhoods, home values, schools, and other info. He and his team were very helpful in setting up viewings that worked around our schedule and, eventually, in scheduling multiple inspections and walk-thru's on the home we purchased. He also worked hard for us as we negotiated with the seller through a number of items. Glenn and his team were helpful, responsive to email and phone, and never pushy. We had a great home-buying experience.
This is now our third real estate transaction we've worked on with Glenn, and all cases he has been excellent. Glenn is knowledgeable, persistent, responsive, creative, and results oriented. He's the guy you want working in your corner. Even if you've got another person in mind, take minute and talk to Glenn. At the very least, there's always something to learn when you pick his brain on anything related to real estate.
Glenn actually helped us to sell our condo and purchase a townhouse. In the process of selling and purchasing with him, we were extremely impressed with his marketing techniques, (our condo was sold in a couple weeks for a top dollar) knowledge of the market, expertise on home improvement, ability to listen to your needs and respond to it accordingly. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an outstanding Realtor, who has integrity and honesty which I feel sometimes is hard to find in this industry.
Glenn and his team were wonderful to work with. The entire process was very smooth from start to finish. As a first time buyer, I was able to learn a lot of valuable information about each part of the process. Each person I worked with was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. I appreciate all of the hard work that Glenn and his team put towards the entire process.
Glenn Allen did a fabulous job for us. When we first met he found out what our thoughts were and then suggested a plan to sell our home in a timely manner. His process was excellent. We were impressed with his on-going communications to us. He kept us thoroughly informed during the entire process. Even after the house was sold both Glenn and his staff stayed in contact until every detail was completed. After doing some suggested remodeling he presented a selling price which he felt could be achieved. In reality we thought this asking price might be a bit high but we accepted his professional advice. His process and marketing skills produced 3 bids that significantly exceeded the asking price. We were thrilled with this outcome. We would highly recommend Glenn Allen and his staff to anyone considering selling their home.Pat and Jake Abbott
Glenn and his team are very professional and great to work with. They helped me sell and buy my homes. He offered great advice during the whole process from preparing our home for sale, finding a good lender, remodeling, and local neighborhood knowledge. He also showed great negotiating skills and we got a great deal on a house we purchased in this tough real estate market where most of the homes have multiple offers and are getting bid up. I felt he took the time and went above and beyond. I definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.
Talk about being able to do the impossible! Glenn Allen and his associate Toni were able to work miracles for me, navigating all the paperwork, never taking no for an answer, and working tirelessly and relentlessly over the 17 months (!) it took my house sale to go through. He is the consummate professional, knows the housing market and all the intricacies cold. He is equal parts professionalism, charm, and compassion and so much more than a real estate professional: he was a coach, a mentor and a cheerleader--I wouldn't consider ever engaging anyone else.
Glenn has now worked with us to purchase two homes. Our first was several years ago when my wife and I were new to California, and most recently in December '13 when we decided to purchase a larger home for our growing family. Our first transaction was on the buy side only, and Glenn was wonderful to work with. He has knowledge of the entire bay area, which was very helpful as we were knew to CA at the time. This time around, Glenn helped us find a new home in Clayton CA and helped us sell our Dublin CA condo. Once again Glenn and his staff did an excellent job. We needed a quick turnaround and Glenn had our previous home on the market within a few days of contacting him. We had a buyer, over asking price, about 7-8 days later! on the buy side Glenn's staff sent us several homes that met our criteria and Glenn took us to see several before we settled on the home we wanted. The day we found it Glenn put together a complete and competitive offer package which the sellers accepted right away.My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service, both on the buy and sell side. Glenn and his staff were professional, knowledgable, and very clearly explained the process so we weren't taken by surprise. We closed both ends of the transaction in under 30 days. Glenn helped us coordinate all of the inspections (Home, sewer lateral, and pest), and made sure the process went smoothly. Glenn is the only Bay Area realtor we would ever use, and we recommend him to all of our friends and family!
Glenn was great to work with through every step of the process. Within the first initial meetings he came prepared with a marketing strategy of how best to list our home and a lot of helpful ideas of repairs and updates to make prior to putting it on the market. He was easy to get in touch with and followed up on all of our requests. When we started looking for homes, his knowledge of renovations and creativity helped us look at the potential of all the properties we saw. I would highly recommend Glenn whether buying or purchasing (or both) a home!
We feel very fortunate to have selected Glenn to help us sell our Walnut Creek home. Glenn took the necessary time to get to know us and what we wanted to accomplish. His support staff made excellent recommendations to prepare our home for sale and the contractors he recommended for required work were very prompt & reasonable. Glenn created his own beautiful marketing materials that captured the uniqueness of our home. Thanks to his strategy to hold bids for 10 days, our home received multiple offers and sold well above the listing price in 11 days! Glenn is a true pleasure to work with and we highly recommend his real estate services.
I was working with a real estate agent before I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and Toni. The agent did not seem to know detailed information on the home and or area that I was inquiring about.I was finding that I had to make the calls to inquire more info on the property or found that the agent was out of town on week ends with out any word.Purchasing a new home was becoming frustrating and time consuming. My wife then gave me the number of the real estate agent that had found her friend from work a nice home. I decided to call to see if he could help me find a home. From the start I found Glenn to be very professional and knowledgeable on all the questions that I had asked. I gave him a idea of what I was looking for and a budget. With out missing a beat Glenn and Toni had new homes for me to look at on a dally bases and when we did find a home the paperwork was a breeze . I would recommend Glenn and Toni to any one that is looking for a new home.
Excellent buying and selling experience. Glenn helped me buy my first investment home which went amazingly smoothly. 4 years later I sold that property for double the price paid with Glenn's excellent advice and what improvements to make. He is very professional, very fast and efficient, and helps with all aspects of buying and selling. Honest to a fault. Can't go wrong.
Glenn,Toni and team were amazing throughout my short sale process. The expertise and support the team provided was invaluable - the entire process ran so smoothly and they made it really easy on me to deliver all the documentation that was required. And, on top of all that, they brought an ideal blend of compassion and humor to an otherwise distressing process. I would highly recommend them and will absolutely use Glenn and his team again when I'm buying or selling in California.
Glenn made the whole process of selling our house a breeze during a stressful time. We got offered work out of state and needed to move quickly, he got the job done fast but never made us feel pressured or rushed. I can only hope we can find someone as good to help us in our new location, he really is a pleasure to work with.
We had met with and worked with several other Realtors before finding Glenn. Glenn was far more helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive when searching for a home than all of the other Realtors. His knowledge of the industry and market allowed us to place offers on properties that other Realtors don't take the time and have the experience to deal with. Glenn found us a home that was not even on the market and did a great job throughout the entire purchasing process. We will definitely be using Glenn again and I have already been recommending him to my friends that are looking to purchase a home.
Glenn helped me to sell my home in Pleasant Hill. I found his service to be exceptional as well as professional. He worked with me through listing, finding a buyer and dealing with many issues around the negotiation. I would strongly recommend Glenn to anyone in the real estate market, either buying or selling. I plan on using Glenn's services again in the future.
As a former agent, I can be critical of how another agent handles a sale. In this case, however, Glenn proved to be the ultimate professional in every sense of the word. Glenn was very observant, and was very helpful in making sure everthing was fixed in the home to maximize the selling price, thus maximizing equity. He was able to arrange for contractors to do any required work, and they all were professional, on time and not too expensive as some can be. The manner in which he presented the home I know created the top dollar sales price. Holding off bids until the second week-end open house created muyltiple offers resulting in a quick sale. He dealt well with escrow, and followed up on any issues that remained after closing.All in all, a great job. I recommend him highly.
I met Glenn during an open house in Pleasant Hill. My friend was trying to decide whether to sell or expand her current Pleasant Hill home. Glenn was very knowledgable about the area and very helpful. He met with her and spent quite a bit of time and energy analyzing the pros and cons of selling vs rennovating her current home. He had contractor contacts and cost estimates for her in a very short time. Unfortunately, before she could make a final decision on how to proceed she was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in January 2012. I inherited her home and immediately remembered how knowledgable and helpful Glenn was so I contacted him to assist me in the sale of the home. It was very important to me that he be an expert on the probate process and have the ability to assist in in fully disclosing information about a home I had never occupied. As it turned out I was very wise to ask Glenn to be my real estate agent. Disclosure issues came to light that I had no knowledge of and Glenn did all the research and documentation necessary to assure full disclosure to the buyer and that I met all legal disclosure reponsiblities. He also helped me stage the house and fully prepare it for a very quick sale for a very good price. He is an excellent real estate agent whom I highly recommend to all potential sellers and buyers. He is a consummate real estate professional.
We had an incredibly positive experience with Glenn and would absolutely recommend his services to any serious home buyer or seller. He was very skilled at knowing the precise home improvements required to make our home sell quickly and for a higher price. We were at first skeptical, but soon bought into his long-term vision. He assisted us in finding professional and affordable contractors to complete these projects. Glenn Allen is very honest and he even gave us many suggestions we could do on our own, including refinishing our wood floors, adding trim, and how to properly stage of our existing furniture. His team was always available for us, guiding us through every step of the process. When we came across any bumps and hurdles, his experience and knowledge made them very manageable. After completing the improvements he suggested, we were able to list our home for a much higher price than anyone had expected; we ended up listed our home for 10 days and had over 10 very good offers. Glenn even befriended the final buyers during the open house. Shortly thereafter, they made an offered significantly over the asking price. We couldnt have been more pleased! It was a very positive and profitable experience.
We worked with Glenn and he is a very informative, polite, kind, and respectful person. Glenn is very detailed and communication was excellent. Follow up with everything was in a timely fashion. Sale process went very smooth. Glenn also showed a great deal of professionalism. I would and will refer him to anyone I know that is looking for a house. Our process of buying a home was a wonderful and easy process. There was no stress what so ever and I really appreciate him and the time he took with us. If we should buy or sell our home, we will definitely call Glenn. Thank you very much Glenn for the pleasurable experience!
Glenn represented us in a short sale. We highly recommend his services because the results were the best possible. The process was a difficult one, a complex series of steps but he was always taking the initiative and staying one or two steps ahead and making sure all documentation and interactions with all involved parties went flawlessly.
Glenn, you made our experience painless. Your knowledge, expertise, integrity and honesty were apparent to us. Thank you for closing the deal quickly. We highly recommend your service.
We were so lucky to find Glenn!! Otherwise, we would likely not have been able to purchase a property as it is a sellers market. It was a short sale with two lenders involved on the seller's side. Through the lengthy and tumultuous process, we felt that we could trust Glenn and it worked out for the best. Not only did Glenn guide us through the process, but had great recommendations on design and reasonably priced contractors after the sale was complete. He had integrity and helped us through the renovations, which were quite intimidating for the newbie.We are very happy with the outcome. We now are the proud owners of a beautiful home and have made a true friend (who is also our neighbor) in the process.Thank you, Glenn!Jennifer and Brian Duus
We had a fabulous experience from start to finish. He assisted us through the entire process, from introducing us to the site to locate homes, to guiding us through the negation process (even when he was on vacation), to helping us find people to help us paint, install flooring and other various projects. Thanks to his guidance and persistence during the negation process, we were able to get a house that has met our needs as a family and improved the quality of our high school child's education by getting us into the district we wanted to be in. He worked closely with the listing agent to make the sale go smoothly and close earlier than we expected. It was a very positive experience that turned out way better than we had expected due to Glenn's guidance, knowledge, hard work, and assistance in so many ways. We would enthusiastically recommend Glenn to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.
This was my first time working with Glenn and it went as smoothly as a short sale process can go...no nightmare stories like I hear about from friends that have gone through the process. When I first contacted Glenn, I wasn't yet sure if I wanted to pursue a short sale, but I figured he could help me prepare for the pros and cons so that I could make my decision. As it turns out, I decided to go through with it and Glenn and his assistant, Toni, were very responsive and organized in handling each step of the process, from listing my home, finding a buyer within a week and coordinating the short sale approvals through both my first and second mortgage lenders, which I know was no easy task. I would highly recommend Glenn to anyone looking for a knowledgable, courteous real estate professional. If you're considering a short sale, whether or not you're sure you want to go through with it, he should be your first phone call.
I spoke to Glenn one year before I actually started the short sale process. I did not know what a short sale was before that. It turned out to be the absolute best option for our family. Although it was a stressful process, Glenn was very patient and walked me through each document I had to fill-out and sign for the short sale package. It took many months to get approvals on both the 1st and 2nd liens and he kept us informed with weekly calls or emails on the progress. During the transaction Glenn was very involved and made sure that the buyers were moving forward with their inspections and removing contingencies.He was: - Knowledgeable and educated me on the process. - Diligent and thorough. - Followed up with all partied involved regularly (bank, agent, loan officer) - Always available to talk to.I would definitely use Glenn again and would highly recommend him to friends and family! He seemed to really care.Scott
I just recently went through a short sale on my house. While it was one of the most trying times in my life, Glenn and Toni were supportative, understanding, persistant, and most importantly, got the result that we wanted. The short sale process was not an easy one but, with Glenn's knowledge we were able to get the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Glenn and his team to anybody who is faced with a short sale or a regular sale on their home.
Glenn is fabulous! We worked with him on two sales and a purchase. For the first home, he did a great job finding contractors for pre-sale repairs, and the house looked amazing and sold quickly for almost exactly the asking price. The second home was a short sale which sold as fast as a short sale could, but we did have a good turnout!The home we purchased was also a short sale and Glenn always kept us updated through the entire process. He was always quick to respond to our phone calls and emails and he would even call to check in.Glenn's knowledge of the real estate market and experience was invaluable and helped make our process as smooth as possible. Glenn is very professional and fun to work with and I would highly recommended him to anyone. I would not hesitate to call him if we needed a realtor again.
Glenn has listed and sold multiple properties for us. In every case he has performed expertly and professionally. I recommend him whenever possible.
I can't say enough good things about Glenn. We moved to Califlornia about a year ago and did not know the area very well. We met Glenn at an open house he was hosting and immediately liked his personality and background experience. Glenn spent a lot of time with us during the week after work and on weekends looking and researching houses with us. He was extremely knowledgable, dedicated and patient. We found a place that we really liked and Glenn negotiated a deal that the seller's accepted that very same day. We are extremely pleased with the results we got and would definitely recommend him to any of our friends and family. Thank you Glenn!
