ReviewI highly recommend Jeff Weissman. He will patiently answer any dumb question and think of lots of questions you've never thought to ask. As a clueless Estate Trustee he helped guide me through extensive renovations and we ended up selling at a strong price. If you want a hands-on, knowledgeable and detailed Realtor then he's the one for you!

Review I only worked with Jeff when I was looking in Oakland. I was really impressed by Jeffs knowledge and experience. I called Jeff out of blue about one of his listings. He not only patiently answered my questions but offered a ton of free real estate advice to me when I was just a stranger. He also showed me not only his real estate expertise but also his construction knowledge. He gave me a lot of advice on the cost and process of remodeling. Most importantly, he has deep knowledge about neighborhoods in Oakland. As someone who never lived in Oakland before, I really valued his advice on which neighborhoods are safer. I ultimately decided to stay in the SF but I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for a home in Oakland or East Bay in general.

Review Jeff is a top notch Realtor. He was always available to answer questions. I found it very helpful how much time he spent dissecting the disclosures and explaining every detail. He walked me through the home buying process and explained every step. He is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.

Review Being a first-time solo buyer in a situation where rates go up day-by-day, I was so lucky to have been referred to Jeff. He made my entire process of searching for an East Bay 1BR condo smooth, educative, and even fun. With his deep knowledge of the market and negotiation skills, we was able to get into contract within the first offer at lower than asking price. It only got better after that. Jeff professionally handled the closing process and made sure my tons of questions are answered. He also offered great resources for trusted professionals in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to anyone buying!

Review We love working with Jeff! We worked with him when we bought our townhome in 2013 and again when we sold it recently. His knowledge of the local market was invaluable. He guided us to the winning bid when we were buyers and guided us calmly and professionally through a fairly significant hiccup as sellers. Additionally, the process as a whole was quite smooth. From his recommendations to prepare our home for sale to the closing date, Jeff and his team were always prompt, responsive and professional. We're looking forward to our continued relationship with Jeff as we enter the market again as buyers.

Review Go no further. Jeff is your guy! He really cares, and wants to see you get a place that really works for you. The seller accepted my offer, which was 20,000. less because of Jeff. Why? The seller's agent respected and trusted Jeff to stream line the closing process quickly, professionally and with a top notch team of lender, title people etc. Jeff also suggested I write a letter to the seller, which also helped. Jeff cares, has high integrity and is responsive. His vast experience saves money in inspections, etc.. He can accurately assess strengths and weaknesses of a property. He is a an excellent creative negotiator who offered less money that I was willing to spend. He wants to see you get into a property that feels right and works for your aesthetics and sensibilities, beyond just checking all the boxes. Somehow, I was able to buy a dream home at a reasonable, "beer budget" price. You'll want Jeff representing you in all your transactions. I am most grateful for Jeff!

Review My name is David Schatz. I am a physician who was a first time home buyer. On the first try, Jeff Weissman got me the home of my dreams. He assessed different homes, and understood exactly what the worth was for each home, entirely accurately. And when we happened upon my dream homeaEUR"he closed the deal. If you want a dream home, for you, your spouse, your children, or just yourselfaEUR"you need to call Jeff Weissman. Ive realized now that deciding upon a realtor can be one of the most important decisions you will make. Choose Jeff Weissman.

Review We worked with Jeff purchasing our first home together in the Bay Area. When we interviewed realtors we talked to three and were immediately impressed by Jeff's professionalism, warm personality, and all the wonderful characteristics that make him a good teacher. Jeff helped us get into contract with our favorite listing 2 weeks through the first offer. He is very knowledgeable of the Oakland market condition and has great ideas to navigate the negotiation process. I can't imagine how much more hassle the home buying process would be for us without Jeff. We want to thank Jeff for being generous with his expertise and working with us. We will highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the Oakland area.

Review I've worked with Jeff on both the purchase and sale of a new home in Oakland. On the purchase side, I knew Jeff was great, but it was only after working with another realtor on a subsequent purchase that I realized how truly skilled Jeff was in not only getting us into a great home but making the process smooth, predictable and stress free. On the sale side, Jeff has a true mastery of the market and has strong knowledge of the steps that need to be taken both pre- and post- listing to reach a great sale outcome. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone buying or selling in the East Bay, particularly those who do not want to be consumed by all details of buying and selling, and would prefer to rely on the expertise of a skilled advisor.

Review If you are a first-time home buyer or seller, you can't do better than Jeff. He helped us buy our first home in 2013 and helped us sell that same home recently -- both times giving great guidance on offer / price amounts, process details, and the market. He patiently answered my numerous questions and took care of innumerable details. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Review My wife and I feel very fortunate we had Jeff as our real estate agent for our first home purchase. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. He responds quickly and is extremely knowledgeable about east bay. He provided valuable insight into each neighborhood we looked at, and knew a great deal about the integrity of the homes we visited. When we first started working with Jeff, we thought his estimates on the sale price of the houses we were looking at was too high. After watching a few houses sell and being outbid, we discovered his estimates ended up being pretty accurate, and we finally embraced the reality of the bay area real estate market. My wife and I referred to this as the Jeff-stimate which is far more accurate than the Zestimate. Not only did Jeff help us navigate the turbulent bay area market, but he also helped connect us with a wide range of professionals to help us with things after the purchase of the house. Every person I encounter who knows Jeff has good things to say about him. I highly recommend reaching out to Jeff if you are ready to purchase a home.

Review We would like to highly recommend Jeff Weissman as our realtor in selling our house in the Oakland Dimond District. At a time when discount brokers are all the rage, Jeff demonstrates that you still get what you pay for. Jeff's knowledge led to a very quick sale of our house for more than we ever imagined it would sell for. Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He was absolutely hands on and stepped in to help us make critical decisions and get things done quickly. He patiently explained when necessary and marshaled the resources we needed to get the house ready for sale. He has the support of an excellent team and we think you can't go wrong with Jeff.

Review Jeff helped me buy my first house and I highly recommend him. He helped my buy a nice single family home for less than 5% over asking price which is good in the Bay Area and especially in the Oakland Hills area. Jeff brings years of experience to the table and I learned a lot throughout the process from Jeff. Jeff was very responsive and responds at odd hours and on weekends. I'll be going to Jeff for all my future real estate transactions.

Review If you're looking for a real estate agent, especially as a first time home buyer, I strongly caution against working with Mr. Jeff Weissman. My husband and I worked with Jeff as first time home buyers and he definitely made the process stressful. His personality came off as aggressive, and I didn't get a sense that he had our best interests in mind. He was pushy and willing to do whatever it takes to get the sales, even if it meant overpaying or settling for a house that isn't right for you. It was difficult for us to trust Jeff. My husband and I saw a house in a city we have never been to before. Jeff was adamant that we put in an offer the same day, even though we didn't like the location and we expressed our concerns to him. Instead, he pulled out all his sales tactics and tried to convince us that this house was the one for us and we won't be able to find anything better. Due to another investment opportunity at the time, our cash reserve was tight, so Jeff even suggested we reached out to our family to borrow money for the deposit. We were in no shape to put in an offer for that house, yet Jeff was pushing for us to sign the offer letter. That should have been our first red flag. We convinced ourselves to continue working with Jeff longer than we should have because he is a top producer. However, being a top producer means Jeff is extremely busy. He shows little interest in trying to help us navigate the home buying process. Jeff has never gone over a house disclosure with us nor has he ever explain the offer letters we needed to sign. He prefers emailing a bunch of attachments and asking us to return the signed documents to him as soon as possible. Since he has been doing this for so long, I got the sense that he forgot how scary the home buying process can be for first time home buyers. He might see it as just another transaction, but as a buyer, it is most likely the biggest purchase I will ever make in my life. In the end, my husband and I decided to go with another real estate agent. It is night and day working with Jeff and our new agent. Trying to buy a house in the competitive Bay Area market generally means having to settle for a house that doesn't meet all your requirements. Fortunately, that doesn't apply to choosing a real estate agent. Don't settle for just any real estate agent. Don't settle for Jeff Weissman.

Review We highly recommend working with Jeff. He helped us make sense of the crazy Oakland market where people are bidding way over the asking price in multiple offer situations. His expertise is so well rounded that we felt we had an amazing guide and friend leading us at every step of the way. We found ourselves with so many different needs during our home purchase that we felt great relief as Jeff navigated us throughout it all. At each step, he thoroughly explained the situation at hand, and then connected us with professionals in each field. From our choice of lender, to our plumber, to our title company, he referred us to folks who really knew their stuff, came through in a timely manner, and took great care of us. Since our decision to work with him, we were always in good hands!

Jeff also had great connections with lenders and title companies who had fantastic communication and clearly stated expectations. It made the process of buying a home less stressful. Overall, I would definitely recommend Jeff to people who are buying a home in the East Bay.

Review it's easy to see why Jeff is one of the very best real estate agents in the country . Jeff worked tirelessly over several months to help my two co-owners and me renovate, list, and quickly sell our 107 year old arts and crafts home in the Glenview district of Oakland, CA for 35% over list price in an uncertain market. From our first meeting, I was struck by Jeff's outstanding knowledge of the market, his creative approach to addressing challenges, and his calm and kind demeanor. Where other agents I'd interviewed recommended quick, relatively cheap cosmetic fixes to get the property on the market at list prices that were in the high 6 figures, Jeff's strategy to embark on a substantial renovation resulted in a quick sale that garnered 35% over the (7-figure) list price. Jeff worked closely with the design and construction teams to ensure that all issues were quickly resolved all while keeping us owners apprised of the latest market news and emerging decisions. We've already referred one of our dear friends to him to sell her Oakland hills home and I'll be working with him again soon to buy my new home. You can't go wrong with Jeff!

Review Jeff provided excellent service in helping my brother and I sell our mother's home after she passed away. Jeff went above and beyond as a listing agent. We first consulted with Jeff during our mother's illness and he was very patient and understanding of our difficult situation. We ultimately did not list until after she passed, at which time Jeff jumped in as quarterback to assist us--both of whom live out of state--with the logistics of clearing out her house and making minor improvements for the sale. Looking back on his advice, all of it was sound and I think we arrived at the best outcome possible. He clearly knows the market and real estate strategy well. He is also tenacious. When the sale looked like the buyer would not be able to get their loan, he used his resources to help steer them in the right direction so they could complete the sale. We were very happy with Jeff's services and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Review It is quite amazing how well Jeff knows the California real estate market. We used Jeff to purchase a home a year and a half ago and just recently used Jeff to sell a home. Wheather buying or selling you are faced with difficult decisions. Having Jeff in your corner makes the whole process easy to navigate. One item, in particular, that was extremely helpful in the selling process was Jeff has numerous professional contacts from window replacements to deep cleaning and power washing that were all very skilled and reliable.

He was responsive and always answered my sometimes numerous questions. He coordinated the different aspects of the transaction well, making sure everything got done despite some unexpected hurdles and delays. My wife and I love our new home and are happy that we found a place in the part of Oakland that we prefer for a price we could afford (not easy!).

Review Jeff Weissman is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and amazingly responsive. He was quick to reply to any inquiry we made, big or small. As soon as we expressed interest in a house, he had all his ducks in a row and tapped into his extensive network to get us any additional information we would need quickly, be it an engineer to look at the foundation, or a plumber to offer an estimate on the sewer lateral. He is ethical and honest and works for what is in his clients best interest. When he went through a house, he looked closely at it, with the idea of protecting his buyers from any issues we may have missed. His strategies and advice are always spot on.

From start to finish he was punctual, detail oriented and he kept us on the right track. He connected us with a lending team that was calm and super easy to work with. Our calls to Jeff were answered promptly and with the expertise of a seasoned agent. I would recommend him to friends and family.

Review I was new to the Bay Area and Jeff sold me on his knowledge of the local market. He definitely delivered. He found a great off-market opportunity when my financing wasn't the most attractive to sellers and delivered a rare opportunity I wouldn't have found otherwise. Every step Jeff was helpful, he has connections for fumigators, locksmiths, and all sorts of different helpful people. He truly has a big and valuable network of local professionals, a great reputation, and a strong work ethic.
