ZillowVERIFIEDThe Bedbury Group is absolutely wonderful to work with. Theyre extremely patient. When they show you a house thats exactly what you asked its but you dont quite like it, theyll help you talk through it and figure it out instead of being frustrated. Theyre also just fun to explore new houses with. When we found a place we wanted to make an offer on, they continued to be excellent. We had multiple conversations with them about when to make the offer, what kind of time limit to attach to it, what amount to start at, etc. all while respecting the hard limit we had on price that we werent willing to go over. And they worked really hard with the sellers agent to get them to accept our offer as well. Overall I couldnt recommend Bob and Kat, and the team they work with, any more highly. They made it as smooth of a process as it could be, walked us through everything, and did it while being exceptionally kind. And now that we live in their neighborhood, I can say that they also make the best of neighbors.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe first worked with Kat and Bob at the Bedbury Group back in 2020 to buy our home in San Jose. When it came time to sell that very same house, we didn't even bother shopping around for other agents. Based on our incredible buying experience, we knew without a doubt that they were the team we wanted in our corner. Working with them is never just transactionalaEUR"they genuinely care. They took the time to understand us, what we loved about our home, and the nuances of our neighborhood and neighbors. Because of this, they didn't just list a house; they beautifully marketed a lifestyle and a narrative. The entire team is incredibly collaborative, highly informed, and armed with fantastic advice. Moving across the country is inherently stressful, but they completely took the weight off our shoulders. Their communication was flawless, always keeping us ahead of the game with clear instructions and seamless vendor coordination. They staged the home beautifully, hosted a prompt and successful open house, and ultimately secured us a dream offer with a quick close. Kat, Bob, and Teagan are an absolute powerhouse team. We would 100% recommend the Bedbury Group and would work with them again in a heartbeat!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a fantastic experience working with Bob-Kat to sell our townhouse in San Jose during a relatively volatile market. Their strategy around pricing, preparation, staging, and showings helped us achieve an excellent outcome for the property. Right before listing, we also found out that another townhouse directly across the street was unexpectedly hitting the market the same day. Bob-Kat quickly adapted the strategy, helped position our home effectively, and navigated the situation with confidence and professionalism. As first-time home sellers, their guidance was invaluable. They helped us avoid many common pitfalls, explained every step clearly, and kept the transaction moving smoothly through negotiations, inspections, appraisal, and closing. Kat in particular has an incredible eye for staging and thoughtful upgrades that truly more than pay for themselves. Her recommendations made a huge difference in how the home showed and ultimately how buyers responded to it. Beyond their market expertise, they were responsive, honest, proactive, and genuinely great people to work with. Were incredibly grateful for all of their help and would highly recommend Bob-Kat to anyone buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the beginning, Kat, Bob, and their team provided stellar expertise in preparing our property for sale. It truly looked stunning, and so did the brochure they prepared for the showings. An offer was secured after only one weekend of open house, and we were very thrilled about it. Yet, due to unforeseen circumstances, a very bumpy road ensued. Bob and Kat stayed with us during these long months, helping us navigate these uncharted seas. They stood fast on their commitment to us and were relentless in exploring options and possibilities, even when offers were coming and then falling through. Their hard work paid off, and after five months, we were able to close. We can't thank them enough for all the work they put in and for standing by us continuously, always available, responsive, and extremely professional. We could not have wished for better.

ZillowVERIFIEDI met Bob and Kat via a referral. I was in the process of house hunting during the housing frenzy in 2021. I had the feeling that other realtors I worked until that point with were not sufficiently committed. After starting working with Bob, I saw dozens of houses in a short amount of time. I spent one whole weekend (Saturday and Sunday, morning to afternoon!) with Bob visiting houses. He and his team took care of the logistics, I got the list of addresses to visit that fit my budget. Eventually, I saw a house that I liked and we made an offer. Bob recommended going a bit over my planned budget if I wanted to win. He was right, I ended up buying the house and been happily living here for the past 6 months. I strongly recommend Bob, Kat and their whole team. One word of advice though: be ready to go until the end, Bob and Kat will not slow down until they fulfill your desires! At first it might be overwhelming, but be sure it is well worth it. Good luck!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe cant recommend Team Bedbury highly enough. Bob and Kat are the best of the best. We met with several realtors and looked at houses for almost a year before someone introduced us to Bob and Kat. After one conversation we knew we wanted to work with them. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They got us the house we wanted with tough negotiations in an ever tougher market. They fought for us and we so appreciate everything they did for us. We recommended them to several friends who were also frustrated with the housing market, and they were so grateful. We cant thank Bob and Kat enough, nor can we recommend them highly enough. Thank you Team Bedbury!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhat says it better than an all cash buyer with no contingencies paying the high end of our expected sale price within 48 hours of listing? Bob and Kathryn made the process work quickly and efficiently, and when a tiny hickup or two did happen in the super short escrow were there to address those problems. The fast and happy result was from their sales strategy, not by chance. On the buy side, we looked for ages for a property to replace ours (pretty hard as we loved it) with Kathryn, and she stuck with us throughout the process - literally for over a decade of looking on and off again. Bob and Kathryn make a great team.

ZillowVERIFIEDIve known Kat and Bob for almost 15 years. Team Bedbury (BobKat) has negotiated several sales and home purchases for my family over the years and we didnt hesitate to have them as our listing agents for the sale of our house in Redwood City(Late 2020). With the unprecedent world issues we are living with in 2020, Team Bedbury successfully navigated not only my aEURoeconcernsaEUR? but all the special requirements and needs to get my home ready and on the market in a very short time frame. Kat and team dealt with all of the scheduling and identification of the contractors and in the end the house looked beautiful. The photographer that Kat brought in produced outstanding photos and the marketing material and website made the house look fantastic. Through it all Kat was very responsive, returning calls/answering emails/texts immediately, and as you will find out I dont think she sleeps! House was on the market for less than a week and Bob did a great job in negotiating the final sales price! The entire Team is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Our advice and recommendation to any prospective sellers/buyers, use Team Bedbury, you will not be disappointed!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe could not recommend the Bedbury team more. This is a relationship we plan to continue for years to come. In a time where things are full of uncertainties, my wife and I wanted buying a house to not be one of them. A big ask, as buying a house is challenging and stressful no matter what. We turned to Team BobKat. As first-time homebuyers, Bob was incredibly patient with us through this process. From house showings in the time of COVID, going through offer letters, financing and after a few months, closing on our first home. Team BobKat's experience in real estate and in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area was an incredible resource in finding the right home for us. Believe us when we say we knew nothing about how to buy a house. The Bedbury team provided so much education to make sure we really felt secure in the decisions we were making. From how to choose the neighborhood, what to look for when touring homes, what things are deal breakers versus nice to haves, as well as a phenomenal mortgage broker they typically work with who was as educated and patient as everyone else on the team. It also should be noted at no point did we ever feel pressured to do anything or adhere to any sort of timeline. Also, the team's guidance and support did not end with an accepted offer, they continued to be there for us through moving day and beyond. We're so happy to have had this incredible team's guidance and be officially Home for the Holidays. We strongly recommend them for anyone looking for their first house, their third house, their forever house, anything.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you're looking for a dream team, look no further...Bedbury Group is the one. My husband and I entered the home buying process wondering if we could even find a home in the ultra-competitive Bay Area housing market. Luckily, we were referred to the Bedbury Group and now truly believe that with Bob and Kat Bedbury, any of your home buying dreams are possible. After our interview with Kat, we just felt that her confidence, her emphasis on the importance of relationship building, and her morals fit with what we wanted in our realtors. She didn't pull any punches...she said that when you find your home we will win it for you. She was right!We used to think buying a house was just about having a strong offer. While that is partly true, we learned that there's an art to a purchase and the magic is with your realtor. Like most prospective home buyers, we struggled in the beginning to find a home that we liked. Bob took us to see several homes that on paper fit our criteria, but in reality fell short. Not once did we feel any pressure to settle, or put in an offer on a home that we were not 100% excited about winning. Then one Friday afternoon my husband came across our house and said, "I think I just found our home!"The home in San Mateo had not been on the market for more than 30 minutes, yet we were inside viewing the property by 10am the next morning. We instantly fell in love, and knew that this was the place for us. Based on the market we were in, we knew that making this our home would be no easy feat. Thankfully, we had the Bedbury's on our side. Every step of the way we kept being pleasantly surprised by how easy the process continued to be. A lot of this had to do with Kat and Bob's knowledge of the market and their innate ability to build relationships, as well as their incredible work ethic and responsiveness.When the sellers initially waited nearly two weeks before taking offers, Bob was there continuously talking to their realtor and building that relationship. When we had questions about the inspection report, Kat took an hour out of her day to walk through every section of the report (and there were a lot of sections) to make sure we were comfortable with everything the inspector found. When it came to the offer, Bob used his knowledge and expertise to win us our home in a multi-offer situation! Between BobKat, their amazing internal team, and their referrals to an incredible mortgage banker and escrow officer, we had the smoothest home buying process we had ever seen or heard of. We sometimes forgot we were even buying a home. It really felt that easy, and that was because of the wonderful team and relationships the Bedbury Group have in the industry!When that wonderful day came and we were handed the keys to our dream home, we were elated. In most cases, this is the day most people lose contact with their realtors. Their job is done. This was not the case with the Bedbury's. Team Bedbury made sure we had food delivered to the house the day we moved in...knowing that the last thing we would want to do that day was cook. When we need a referral for anything to do with the house, we know we can count on them to know the best people. With the Bedbury's, you don't just have realtors for life you also have friends for life!From the very first meeting with us, Kat continued to tell us, "Your dreams, non-negotiable." And they are serious! What makes them so good is their deep care for their clients and their clients' needs. We are so grateful to have met the Bedbury's, not just because they helped us win our dream home, but because they are just genuinely good people. Thank you Bedbury Group for everything, we are truly grateful!

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Bedbury Group is a truly professional real estate team who indeed delivered as promised. Michelle Kennedy with whom we worked closely, was thorough, persistent in pursuit of our interests and 100% focused on the needs of our family. She is an excellent listener who made us feel our interests was all that mattered. We felt that Bradbury was a true partner working with us. We are extremely happy with our ultimate purchase and the support received from Michelle and Bedbury. I would definitely work with them again.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy partner and I purchased our first home with Michelle Kennedy of the Bedbury group in September 2020. We met Michelle via a friend referral in 2019. We reconnected to kick off our 2020 house hunt. Michelle has a lot of good energy. She really listened to feedback and didn't flood us with irrelevant listings like other agents had. She was always on top of the 50 things simultaneously going on for the deal. She was never late and very accommodating to our strict housing requirements during the hunt itself. Bob Bedbury brought some great experience and perspective to the table on the deal, his charismatic long form emails really helped calm my wife and I down multiple times during the process. He helped establish the direct line of communication with the sellers agent too.Michell and Bob Bedbury fought tooth and nail to get us a home for under ask - $100k under the final list price. Their diligence and personable communication really helped to convince the the sellers to come down in price. They also didn't balk as we continued to bid on this house over the course of two months.The first night we spent in our new home, one of our cats tragically had a stroke and passed. I had informed Michelle and the Bedbury group of this news, and the next day they had sent us a very sweet condolence gift of daisy flowers to honor our cat Daisy. That personal touch really meant a lot to us during this already difficult transition from a 1 bed apartment to a lonely 4 bed house. These are good people to have on your side.With our experience using Michelle Kennedy and the Bedbury group for the buyers side representation, I would highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDBeing first time home buyers, my wife and I were extremely intimidated at the thought of purchasing a home on the Peninsula. With the recommendation from a friend, we decided to contact Team Bedbury to represent us. Bob, Kat and Jesseca did such an amazing job of guiding us through the process of buying a home and what to expect of the highly competitive Bay Area housing market.The team's long time experience of the local real estate truly shined as we were viewing homes together and considering offers on various homes in San Mateo County. They were very understanding and patient when it came to our pacing and timeline of purchasing a home, as we spent many months browsing listings and viewing homes until finally finding one that truly inspired us when we walked in. When we found the perfect home, Team Bedbury sprung into action to walk us through all of the steps necessary to get our offer in.BobKat's invaluable guidance made it possible for first time home buyers like us to secure the house we wanted. Their expertise extends far beyond home buying; they have connections to resources for all homeownership needs such as loan officers, pest control, insurance, and more, which has been enormously helpful. They are also very responsive, especially considering the difficulties of viewing homes during shelter-in-place. If we had any questions or uncertainty, no matter how trivial, Bob was able to provide sound and clear advice to us.Team Bedbury made the home buying experience smooth and surprisingly enjoyable and we're so happy to be able to work with such a passionate team with many years of experience in the Bay Area.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was an AMAZING partner in a very tricky real estate deal (messy title and easement issues). She was able to find a lender that could help us close the deal, after our other lender wasn't able to make it work. She was in great communication with the listing agent throughout, and pulled it over the finish line. I'm so happy we had Michelle on our side, and the experience and expertise of the whole Bedbury group.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I are very happy that we worked with Team Bedbury to help us buy the house that we call home.Before working with them, I was the kind of person that thought that having an agent wasn't necessary, or even worth it. Bob Bedbury showed me how crucial it is to have a competent agent. We COULD NOT have gotten our house on our own. We didn't have enough money to outbid other people and there was no way I could have been fast enough to bid on the house. I wouldn't even have known that there was an early bid happening. And yet, DESPITE BEING THE CLEAR UNDERDOGS, we won the house after the entire team worked through the night negotiating with the seller. Effectively, Team Bedbury enabled us to be competitive in bidding on houses that were much better than what we thought we could afford when we were casually browsing online...and in a seller's market at that! Bob also gave us great advice with repercussions that will propagate for decades: We saw a house that I really liked, and I wanted to immediately place a bid on it. Bob pointed out to us that the house had several problems that we hadn't noticed (one of the rooms was a garage hastily converted to be a room) and he correctly advised us that we could do better than that house. In the end, we bought a house we love and thanks to Bob and Team Bedbury, we purchased it in a competitive market for significantly less than it was appraised for. Let me summarize why I think Team Bedbury is great:- They know their stuff!- They have a lot of infrastructure: They are familiar with and help you significantly with a lot of documents. They helped with connecting me with a lender, they can get things done quickly and on weekends if needed.- They taught me as we went: They showed me what to look for.- Never, not even once, did they push me or suggest that I should move forward.- They can react FAST: One time I needed something to happen within the hour, and their entire team dropped everything to make it happen.They know many other agents and have good relationships: This gives you an advantage during negotiations. Other realtors wanted to work with our bid because Bob was representing us and they knew they could count on him. - They are friendly, personable and great at establishing professional relationships with agents they don't already know:- This gives them an inside track and valuable knowledge to lever in negotiations. - They are honest and respectful.- They tell you that a house is bad when it is.Now that we have finished our business relationship, we consider Bob a personal friend. We recommend Bob and Team Bedbury to everyone we meet...even if they aren't looking to buy or sell a home! Bob and his team truly are consummate professionals and a pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDBobKat have been our Realtors both for the purchase of our house AND for its subsequent sale five years later. When we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015, Bob secured our house in Redwood City on our FIRST OFFER! When does that happen on the Peninsula?!When it came to selling our house in Aug 2020, BobKat were there again to guide us through the overwhelming process. This was our first house sale in the US, and they were very patient with us! Once we had made our final decision on the sale and move, Team Bedbury set the wheels in motion. And, oh boy, those are some wheels! Kat has gone over and beyond in preparation of our house for sale. Professionally dealt with every single hurdle, most of which resulted from our oversight! Don't underestimate the power of vendor connections in the Bay Area, of which Kat has many! They have all done an amazing job at making our house look like a palace, all under Kat's supervision! And did I mention the marketing for the house?! Wow! Just wow! And it all paid off!On the "taking offers" day, Team Bedbury worked tirelessly to process 13 offers that we received on our house! When it comes to negotiation you want to have Bob in your corner! He is the master of this market, and he will make sure you will get the best price for your house! BobKat has also referred us to our realtor in Austin, TX to help us find our forever home! They have connections and contacts all over the world and we feel like we have been under the best wing possible when it comes to real estate!

ZillowVERIFIEDDear Bedbury Group, Never in a million years did my husband and I think we would be able to buy a home in the Bay Area when we moved here nearly two years ago. From the moment we contacted Bedbury, they gave us the confidence that it was possible. From my first conversation with Kat, she not only emanated warmth, but also painted a beautiful picture of different neighborhoods and areas that might be a good fit for us. We are so thankful that you brought Michelle in to show us what would become our future home. She was such a good fit for us with her balance of practicality and vision. We knew right away that we were in good hands. We were AMAZED how the whole team stepped in to help us once we were ready to make an offer. Bob, Kat, and Michelle walked us through each step to make sure that we had comfort along the way. They provided honest feedback and guidance. We had an interesting situation as we were the back-up offer on a home that already had a contingent buyer. They fought with kindness and finesse to get us this home. We've heard that California is a competitive market, but because of the Bedbury team, this has been the easiest (and fastest) home purchase we have endeavored yet. Above all, Bedbury offers unparalleled service and care. We were surely not working with an infinite budget, but with the level of service that Bedbury team provides, you would think that we had millions to spend. This team truly practices what they preach, "your dreams are non-negotiable." They make it happen. They are extraordinary.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe can't say enough great things about our experience working with Michelle Kennedy and Bedbury Group during our home search. Michelle's dedication to finding us the home we desired was unparalleled. Even during the difficult times of the COVID shelter-in-place and the challenging housing market that followed, Michelle was constantly putting in extra effort for us and kept our search going. Whether it was daytime, evenings or weekends--it didn't matter. She always made time for us and we could tell she was passionate about finding us our dream home. With our first child on the way, Michelle knew we had time pressure to find a home for our growing family and she delivered in a big way. When the final deal was made, Michelle was critical to negotiating an amazing price for us and we doubt we would have ended up with the house if not for her persistence and skill. We give Michelle and Bedbury Group our highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIEDBob and Kat are incredibly caring people and truly believe that your dreams are nonnegotiable. We started our journey with BobKat in February and had planned to find and move to our dream home in Colorado. Our ideal list time frame unfortunately hit during the pandemic. Bob and Kat were communicative, supportive, and kept us abreast of the fluid regulations surrounding the housing market and how it would affect our timeline. They also provided real and honest feedback, which was greatly appreciated. Due to their attention to detail and incredible foresight we did not need to adjust the time frame at all, and ended up selling our home at the price point we wanted with multiple offers despite being in the middle of pandemic. BobKat even connected us with a fabulous realtor in Colorado who has helped us find our dream home. We are so grateful to BobKat for helping us sell our home during this difficult time.

ZillowVERIFIEDYou absolutely need Bedbury Group as your realtor if you want your dream home at the best price possible in the Bay Area. Bob and Kat know San Mateo County extremely well; Bob can even tell you the history of most areas and what houses may have what problems based on location. They even started the trend for sellers to perform inspections before listing so the buyers get disclosures up front. Very helpful; more counties should do this. Bob navigated COVID expertly, and was a star negotiator to get us into our dream home with the budget we had. Since we were in a very competitive price range, he worked tirelessly to submit offers late at night, on weekends - whenever. He is 24/7 available to make sure you don't miss out. I really can't recommend them highly enough - they should rename their company BedBUDDY Group because they take care of you like you are their friends & family. Thanks for getting us into our dream home, BobKat; we're Team Bedbury for life!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently utilized Team Bedbury's real estate expertise to purchase our first home, and while we were working with them we quickly discovered that Bob and Kat are simply the best! Not only are they exceptional real estate agents, they are genuinely wonderful people. Even though we have only been working with them a short time, we feel like we have known them for years. They are so kind and caring, and their little touches throughout the process were very comforting and always a wonderful surprise.They make it very clear early on in the process that this is OUR dream they are supporting, not theirs, which really took a lot of weight off of our shoulders. Never once did we feel like we were in a position that we were uncomfortable with. They always went above and beyond, forging relationships with all interested parties and making sure that we were in the best position to make a competitive offer. Thanks to them and their strategic vision, we were able to finally achieve our dream of purchasing our first home!Working with Bob and Kat is an absolute pleasure. They are always extremely friendly, and even though we were probably one of many clients, they still managed to make us feel like we were the only clients they had. They always went out of their way to make sure that the whole purchasing experience was as easy and as seamless as possible. They walked us through every step of the process and worked with us to give us the best chance possible to make our dream come true. We cannot recommend Bob and Kat enough, we definitely couldn't have done it without them!

ZillowVERIFIEDThere are to many quality's and reasons why Bob and Kat Bedbury are the best realtors. Our journey and friendship with the Bedbury's began many years ago when we were in the overwhelming process of trying to buy our first home. There were so many unknown's and uncertainties that were soon put at ease. We met with Bob and Kat and from that moment I knew our future family and home were in good hands. Just a short time later they handed my wife and I the keys to our first townhome. It was everything we could have asked for, it was the perfect home to start our family. We wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for Bob and Kat's guidance and help. Three very short years later, with the addition of our amazing dog and the birth of our beautiful daughter; we realized we wanted to take the plunge of selling our home and purchasing a single family home. We were skeptical at first, whether it was the right time because there were two other town homes for sale in the area that had not sold for an extended time. But we were 100% confident that Bob and Kate could sell our home. They went above and beyond to make sure the sale of our home was not only successful, but very fast. When our home went on the market, I jokingly told my wife "Can we buy this home?!?" Because it looked amazing! The difference between the Bedbury Team and other agents, is that Bedbury's didn't leave a single stone unturned. They helped us make sure our home was immensely appealing to buyers and that we crossed our T's and dotted our I's. So when it made the market, the buyers and we would have no uncertainties. Later, when we started looking for our next home, rarely would the entire disclosures be ready at the time of the open houses. An inspection would be missing, agents wouldn't get back to us, or the home just didn't look up to par. After selling our home with Bob and Kat I felt spoiled because of how prepared they were and how amazing they made our home look. They made sure all documents were ready, any thing that could be fixed they brought to our attention to address, and their ad campaign was amazing for our place. When our townhome hit the market we could clearly see the Bedbury difference at work. Our home was only on the market for 4 days and it sold above our asking price. To this day, there was still a townhome in our old complex that had not sold. Actions always speak louder than words and the Bedbury's actions with our home is a testament to their absolute dedication. Once our home sold we started searching for our first single family home. We started looking outside of our old neighborhood but didn't find anything that was the perfect home. But Bob and Kat were there with us every step of the way. They gave us suggestions, market opportunities, and the advice we needed to get into a single family home. I found very quickly that buying a single family home was a whole different beast altogether. There was more to take into account. But team Bedbury eased that transition and always kept us informed on the market and gave us the tips we needed to find the right home. A couple short months later my wife and I walked into the perfect home. We knew it would be the place we could raise our daughter and share many family memories. The home was only on the market for a day and we knew it would sell quickly. Right after we left the open house we contacted Bob and Kat. That's when the Bedbury magic started.Bob and Kat were immediately in contact with the listing agent to get as many details as they could and to start building a great rapport. At the same time they began working with us on a strategy to win this home. When offer day came, three other offers came in along with ours. Bob and Kate updated us frequently and kept us in the loop. My wife and I were excited, anxious. After all this was the home of our dreams. Later that night we got a call from Bob and Kat. I will never forget that call because Bob and Kat told us with so much pride, happiness, and enthusiasm; that we had won the house! Tears filled our eyes with joy! If it wasn't for the Bedbury's undivided work, attention to detail, and experience; we would still be searching for a home. The Bedbury's help us get our dream home! Our experience with the whole precess of selling and buying has been one full of excitement and ease with team Bedbury. They make the selling and buying process very easy. They explain every part of the process and will never let you make a bad decision. We always knew the Bedbury team worked tirelessly with their team to make sure the process was as quick and stress free as possible. They were always right there for us every stop of the way. Bob and Kate don't just invest in their clients, they invest in their family's. They will forever be our friends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Bob and Kat. Thank you for making our dreams come true!

ZillowVERIFIEDMany thanks to Bob and Kat for their efforts on the recent sale of our condo in San Mateo. Going into this sale, we knew it was going to be complicated but thanks to their guidance we got through it all with remarkable ease. Working with their team was a great experience. Their ability to work with the multiple stakeholders in this property, the remodeling and 1031 exchange was outstanding. We really appreciated the network of resources such as the designers, vendors and installers and their ability to work with our contractor to keep everything on track. Perhaps most impressive was the marketing and presentation of the condo. I know they deal with a lot of high end properties but our little starter condo received the same treatment. Impeccable staging, professional photographs, high-quality brochures and their disciplined sales process got the result we wanted: a sale price above asking and a stress-free closing process. Thank you again!

ZillowVERIFIEDBob and Kat Bedbury were the perfect team to sell an out of area commercial/residential property we had been trying to sell for 10 years. They put their trained eyes on the situation and were able to present it to buyers with just the right lens. The selling package, including videos and pictures, was fantastic. Once we got them on board things moved very quickly and we had their personal attention throughout the entire process. This turned out to be a very complicated deal involving a failed "lease with option to buy" deal followed by a successful sale to another buyer. Bob and Kat have a laser focused eye for details and the patience of saints. They spent whatever time was necessary to help us understand each offer and to walk us through what the options and risks were on each decision. We relied completely on their knowledge and expertise that resulted in a sale for more money that we expected. This was a great experience and we would wholeheartedly recommend Bob and Kat.

ZillowVERIFIEDBob and Kat are amazing, both individually and as a team. One of the best choices I ever made was to have them as the agents to sell my home. While concerned about taking on the listing for my very unique home which hadn't sold the year prior with a different realty group, they nevertheless accepted and put 200% effort into every aspect of making it a successful sale. From listing to a 'no contingency' offer with a 45 day close and no discount of the price took only 3.5 weeks because they had attended to every detail early. Bob and Kat are thoughtful, professional and knowledgeable in every way, pay attention to every detail, do what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it, are very energetic and have an amazing network of highly skilled professionals for staging, marketing, video, and graphics on their team. They leave no stone unturned to reach the widest audience of potential buyers. In addition, they are able and willing to have open, frank, and productive discussions on difficult topics (e.g., selling price), and they provide extremely reliable advice, all the while being very friendly, upbeat, respectful, and constantly available. I was kept informed in real time about every aspect as we went along which made the entire process much more reassuring. I would recommend them to any and every one thinking of buying or selling a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I are forever aEURoeTeam BedburyaEUR?. We recently worked with Bob and Kat on the purchase of our dream home, as well as the sale of our beloved first home. We first worked with Bob and Kat in 2014 to purchase our first home and had such a great experience it was a no-brainer to work with them again. Team Bedbury is by far the best out there aEUR" both on a professional level and on a personal one. They know that buying a home is one of the biggest decisions youll ever make, so they treat every part of the process with immense care and complete honesty. Bob and Kat paid attention to every little detail on both sides of the operation for us, ensuring that we were happy and never felt out of the loop or wanting more. When we had questions about the purchase of our new home, Bob was always there to answer. When we needed advice, Bob and Kat were always candid and helped us understand all options. When we needed anything at all done to our house to prep it for sale, Kat had the right person to do the job. Team Bedbury is a seriously well-oiled machine and they never miss a beat. On top of their expertise, what made our buying and selling transactions happen so quickly and smoothly was largely thanks to their network of connections. Its become very clear to us that Team Bedbury has an incredible reputation among their peers, which lends itself very well to their clients. Through their relationships, Bob and Kat were not only able to find our new home for us off-market but were also able to sell our first home off-marketaEUR| and above asking price! We really couldnt have asked for a better experience with buying and selling our homes aEUR" both in 2014 and in 2019. If you get the chance to work with Team Bedbury, do it.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I began the search for our first home together a few months ago. With the market on the peninsula being so expensive, and being newlyweds, we thought a relator wouldn't have time for us and our budget, so we figured Zillow and random open houses were our only hope. We actually had our first introduction to Team Bedbury when we reached out regarding a listing on Zillow shortly after Christmas. Kat was extremely prompt in following up with a phone call to my husband (we were shocked she responded during the holiday season), and as soon as he got off the phone we knew we had to meet this team in person. Right from the start Kat was honest and direct, but with a genuine and kind perspective. Within a week we were sitting in Bob and Kat's office at Sotheby's. My husband works in finance, so his top priority was finding a relator who was going to negotiate the best and sharpest deal. I on the other hand am a teacher and needed a team with a personal touch, relators who would listen to my particular needs, help walk me through the emotions of trying to win our first home, and present themselves well to others. I never dreamed that we would find a team that could make both of us happy and meet both of our needs, as we met with some other relators who ignored me and only talked numbers with my husband, but Bob and Kat exceeded them! Bob and Kat expect their clients to be all in on the home buying process, because they are completely invested in finding you the perfect home. They showed us homes from Redwood City to San Mateo, took texts, calls, and emails every time we needed them, advised on what was realistic for our budget but never made us feel unimportant, and were ready to move immediately with the few offers we did put in. They advised us on price, location, neighborhoods, space, floor plans, didn't bat an eye the occasional times my parents were in town and joined in on the house viewing, and even listened to my husband and I debate in the kitchen when I thought a home was perfect for us and he just couldn't see it, but they always left the ultimate decision up to us. No pressure, no pushing our budget, no trying to force us into a neighborhood that wasn't right for us, and best of all, no favoring one person's opinion over the other. Bob and Kat kept telling us when the right home for us came up we'd both just know it. My husband and I had been out of town the Saturday and Sunday of a three day weekend, returned after a 6 am flight that Monday and were exhausted, but knew we needed to go out and just drive around to put some new perspective homes on our list. When we drove up to what we are now thrilled to call our home, it felt so right. We reached out to Bob and within a matter of hours he was able to get us in the home where we promptly fell in love. Bob and Kat have great relationships with other agents, you'll learn this quickly when you drop their name at an open house and the listing agent's face lights up, so Bob was able to very quickly get us a realistic idea of what we needed to offer to secure our perfect home. Within 12 hours and with as little stress and budget pushing as possible, we had a deal! My husband and I could not believe what had just happened and were so very thankful. We truly believe that without Team Bedbury we may have lost our dream home as their negotiation skills and well-respected reputations were the factors that sealed the deal. We could go on an on about Team Bedbury and the network of amazing home warranty, title company, and loan officer individuals they put us in contact with, but the biggest thing you need to know about Team Bedbury is that they mean everything they say from day one. When they tell you your dreams are nonnegotiable, you better get ready to believe it, because they helped us to realize ours!

ZillowVERIFIEDCannot recommend them enough!! Team Bedbury make home purchasing dreams come true. I was a first time home buyer. As a first time home buyer, the fears can abound: Where do I begin? Am I prepared? How do I pick one priority over another? (To 3rd bath, or to not 3rd bath and get that backyard with the killer view?) It's a maze. It's a minefield. And for the first time home-buyer, it can be paralyzing.My first phone meeting with Kat and Bob Bedbury turned paralyzing fears into personalized markers of confidence and vision. From our first conversation, they treated me like family. They asked specifics, and encouraged my imagination. More than anything else, they made it clear from the first conversation that they were working for my own visions of my own dream home.They are extraordinary communicators. They are diligent negotiators. They ask the right questions and make the most complicated answers easy to understand. They assess with a ferocious eye and dream with huge heart. Most importantly, they get you your dream home. No 'ifs', 'ands', or 'buts'.Turn your house 'hunting' into an experience that's positive, clear, loving! Choose Kat and Bob Bedbury.

ZillowVERIFIEDBob and Kat Bedbury changed our lives. My wife and I were searching for a home on and off over the course of three years. The "off" periods always followed a heart-breaking loss to a higher bid for a prospective property. It felt all but hopeless for us. We had successfully saved for ten years, but we were being treated like we were poor and should move down market if we were to stand a chance. It was terribly disheartening.We first visited Bob and Kat in their office during the summer of 2017. They rolled out the red carpet, walked us through their process and made us feel confident this would happen for us and that they were on the case. At the time we were not in a place where we could match their enthusiasm as we were in the midst of an "off" cycle. Timing is everything, but they had left an impression on us.In the fall of 2018 we started poking around the market again and lobbed a call into BobKat. They were as welcoming as always, understood the extended silence on our part and filled us with confidence all over again. Bob and Kat are the best and they only work with the best in the industry.My wife had found a place that peaked our interest and we asked the team if they would support our effort to bid for it. Once they were on the case it seemed as though there was magic around every corner. Four weeks later we had the keys to our new home. We know that our story would be entirely different if it were not for Team Bedbury. We recommend them to everyone that wants to work with true professionals that will deliver for them.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my husband and I decided to start searching for a new home, we knew it was vital to find an amazing agent to help us in the tough Bay Area market. After all, we were looking for a modest home in a great neighborhood at the right place -- just like everyone else! So while we had an inkling that the right agent would make all the difference in our house search, we had no idea how true that would end up being when we found Bob & Kat.From the very first point of contact, we were impressed with them. Bob set up a phone call with us a mere hours after I reached out, and they were just as professional, honest, and charming when we met in person a few days later. Plus, you can't beat two agents for the price of one!While both Bob & Kat were available and responsive practically at all hours of the day (not an exaggeration), they set us up with a RealScout account and did leave most of the actual house searching to us. And it made sense, because it was practically a part time job! They definitely flagged some great houses for us to look at, but ultimately we had to figure out what we wanted in our next home for ourselves. We ended up looking at open houses every single weekend between the beginning of June and the middle of August, and in that time put in four offers with Bob & Kat's help. While a few of those were pretty unrealistic on our part due to the limits of what we could afford, they were always so encouraging of our desire to put in an offer and never made us feel like they were wasting their time.When we finally found our dream home after all those offers, it was all made possible due to Bob & Kat. Not only did they keep our morale up when we felt defeated, they also moved quickly to make sure that our final offer was accepted. We had expected to have to be very competitive on price, but imagine our surprise when Bob emailed us with a plan, asking him to trust him. Through his conversations with the listing agent, we were able to put in an early offer at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower price than we expected. It's allowed us to set aside that extra money to truly create the home of our dreams, much sooner than we could have ever thought. And, throughout every step of closing, they were available to help us navigate the process, give us fantastic recommendations for vendors during our move and preparation of our condo for rental, and still send us both birthday cards.We truly believe that we never would have been able to purchase this home if not for Bob & Kat. Their knowledge, dedication, and personal connections made this possible in a way that we never could have done on our own, or even with another agent. (Like we said, we went to a lot of open houses, and it's clear from meeting other agents that they are truly the best of the best!)We would absolutely recommend Bob & Kat to anyone searching for a home in the area, and absolutely plan to use them for any future real estate endeavors (we've also seen how they sell homes and it's equally as impressive!). We can't thank them enough and are so grateful that we made the decision to choose them as our agents, as they were able to make our dreams come true.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe highly recommend Team Bedbury!! After 11 years in the Bay Area, my husband and I made the decision to return home to the East Coast but didn't know where to start. Palomar Park is a very unique neighborhood in Redwood City and we wanted agents that had knowledge and expertise of this area. We interviewed several agents and picked Team Bedbury for the sale of our home. We felt that Kat and Bob really understood the local housing market and came with excellent recommendations including from many neighbors. Moving is never easy but Team Bedbury had great contacts and resources to help us make our home shine. Beautiful presentation, crafty brochures and inviting open houses really made a difference. The home looked brand new and gathered multiple offers in a very short time for a smooth transaction. We are going to miss the wonderful views and quiet location as we move onto our next adventure.

ZillowVERIFIEDYou couldn't ask for more than these two. They know everything, and everybody, and represent you like a gale force wind. They took our beautiful home and made it even more beautiful, helping us with all steps of the buffing up, then helped us price it accurately in a market filled with roller coaster surprises. After that they pounded us on the back with congrats when it went high above the asking price with a sterling silver offer. It was truly their victory as well as ours. I can't thank them enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDTeam BobKat is the absolute best! While we were interviewing other potential realtors, we visited open houses and on one such visit, we stumbled upon Bob and Kat. We were instantly greeted by Bob who was standing outside and he said aEURoeWelcome Home!aEUR?. I immediately felt welcome and we walked through the door and were greeted by Kat, she was so bubbly and nice and offered us warm, home-made cookies and information on the home. We were brand new to this process and she asked us if we had the disclosures on the house (we didnt even know what that meant at this point). I think she picked up on this and asked us about our search and learned that we did not have a realtor yet, she gave us their card and marketing materials and we were on our way. We loved that house, but it was not the one for us in the end. What I loved more was Bob and Kat, there was something so genuine and honest about them and that was so refreshing. We interviewed Bob and Kat and the deal was done, they didnt even begin to compare to other realtors that we spoke too, they go above and beyond in a market where that is not required anymore. They always make the houses look impeccable and add a little something extra, gelato, pizza, etc. Ive walked into open houses where the agent just sits on the couch and doesnt even greet prospective buyers, because lets be honest, the house is going to sell. I appreciate that Bob and Kat still give 110% even though they do not have to. They work harder than any realtor I've ever met or known and always have their client's best interest at heart. You cannot go wrong with Team Bedbury.

ZillowVERIFIEDDear Kat and Bob,Thank you for selling our house in El Granada. As you very well know, the house had been on the market for nearly nine months with another Realtor and we had had very few visits. When I contacted you and you had visited the house, you could not understand why the house had not sold. We sat down in our living room and you explained your process to me and assured me that we would be able to sell our house within a couple of months.We followed your process to prepare and present the house. You then created your marketing plan with clear potential target buyers as well as your marketing campaign and executed it. As you had anticipated we sold the house within two months.There is no better compliment that I can make than to say that you delivered on your promise.With my sincere thanks and best regards,Pierre C.

ZillowVERIFIEDInterested in Buying or Selling a HomeIn the latter part of 2014 we began to seriously consider leaving theSouth Bay where we were living (Campbell/West San Jose) andmoving back to the Peninsula area where Rebecca had previouslylived (San Mateo). We were intererested in any of the towns fromRedwood City (south) to Burlingame (North).In the earliest stages of this process Rebecca was doing somepreliminary "checking out" of homes in San Carlos and happened tosee a brochure with Bob and Kat's name. We didn't have a realtor yetso (among others) she checked them out. They were so enthusiastic,knowledgeable, and confident they could meet our needs we decidedto give them a try, to first find a new house for us. We had specialrequests (e.g. homes to fit several health and other requirements)and they listened and tailored what was available to both our pricerange and requirements. Throughout 2015 they were our truepartners--checking in with us as much as we liked, listening as wefine-tuned our search, giving timely information that was on point,advice and perspective when that's what we wanted, and making usfeel this wasn't just a business transaction, but an advocacy. Wecould tell they would not rest (!) until we had the right home. Ourrequirements meant extra care had to be put into culling the type ofhome we wanted and needed from the (relatively small) inventoryavailable in our designated geographic preference. By years end wefound the right house and beat out several other bids for the beautifulhome in Belmont we now call ours. We were very excited! Andwhen you buy a home with the Bedbury's you also get lots of TLC andgoodies after the sale that make you feel very welcome in your newplace and neighborhood. I won't spoil the surprise (s), but we hadnever seen any other realtors do what they did after the sale, andwe've bought and sold many homes over our 30 plus years living inthe Bay area.But the story doesn't end there. After the first El Nino rains in late2015 (that ended our 4 year drought) some serious deficiencies thathad not shown up in any inspection or disclosures appeared. Bob andKat again became our partners in helping rectify the situation. Thiswent beyond the normal call, but that's' what they do. Because wewere so happy with how they had represented us and helped find thelovely home we're in now, we also asked them to help sell our oldhome. They put on a killer open house in the South Bay and in oneweekend found buyers for our home and got us well over our askingprice. They had again rewarded our faith and trust in their abilitiesby also helping us close escrow ahead of schedule and see that all thefinancial details were covered.We highly recommend Bob and KatBedbury as realtors who will getthe job of buying and/or selling your house accomplished and in allthe ways necessary to meet your expectations and needs. And they'lldo it in a way that makes your interactions focused and caring. Theyeach provide their own areas of expertise after years ofexperience. Together, they are quite formidable--the kind ofcombined strength we think any prospective client would want ontheir side when tackling the notable challenges of the Bay Areahousing market.Michael & Rebecca W

ZillowVERIFIEDDear Kathryn & Bob, First of all, we are so sorry to be sending this thank you and note of huge appreciation so late! We absolutely love our new home and we thank you so much for making our move so enjoyable. We know that we wouldn't have had such a pleasant experience with anyone else. We were such rookies in the whole process and we became pretty wise through the whole thing. Leaving our old home was not easy - it was a place we were very comfortable in and loved. You helped us to get it ready and we appreciate all you did to help us sell it. You assured us that we would find something better that we would learn to love more, and you were right. Your endless and tireless attitude kept us afloat through everything. Thank you for your constant encouragement, hard work, and dedication to us. We were well aware that you have other clients, but you never made us feel that way. Thank you for going to bat for us always... even when the outcome didn't go our way. Again, we found something and were able to get something (our home) that was more than we ever thought we would have. We owe that to you and we will forever be grateful! I still pinch myself sometimes when I look at our house that is quickly becoming our home. We have so much space to run and play and live. Thank you for the magic you did to help make this dream our reality. Thank you for your patience in our thoughts and decisions and directions... there were a lot :)

ZillowVERIFIEDThere are many fine real estate professionals in the Bay Area, butBob and Kathryn Bedbury are truly exceptional. Two years ago myhusband and I met them at an open house, and while the particularhome they were showing was not for us, they took notice of whowe were, and what we were looking for, which was a privateretreat in a quiet setting, surrounded by views and native plants,only minutes from our work - a fantasy from our perspective! Katstayed in touch and true to form, kept reminding us that ourdreams truly were "non-negotiable."We were faced with a somewhat daunting task. After all, we werebuyers in a seller's market, where multiple cash offers, the newnorm, would surely trump our sincere, but more realistic offer. ButBob and Kat thrive on challenge. They showed us home after home,noted our reactions, and listened to us. All the while they refinedtheir understanding of who we are, and exactly what we werehoping for. Meanwhile, they put us in touch with their financialteam, and helped us get our paperwork in order, so we wereprepared to submit an eventual offer. Then one day we all realizedwe'd found "the one," and Team Bedbury moved into high gear.In the blur of the next few days we had been preapproved for aloan, prepared an offer, and written a letter to the owners, hopingto convince them that we were the perfect caretakers of theirfamily's home. In the end, thanks to Team Bedbury'sprofessionalism, experience, wisdom and strategic support, wewon the home over two very competitive bids including thatproverbial "all cash" offer.With Bob and Kat, we've come to believe that anything is possiblewith the right team in our corner. And as every good story shouldend, we are happy to call the Bedburys our friends and ourneighbors in this new phase of our lives in the home of our dreams.John & Christine T. (buyers),Palomar Park

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you're looking to buy a home, start with Team Bedbury. We wereso impressed with the attention, advice and support Bob and Katgave us throughout the whole process. Their guidance wasabsolutely vital.We kicked off our home search pretty nonchalantly, without thesupport of a realtor. We saw open houses in what we considered tobe our price range and frequently checked out real estate listing sites, but never had much luck finding a home that spoke to us. Eventually, after too many open houses to count, my father suggested we work with Bob and Kat - although he hadn't leveraged them as realtorshimself, he knew they were top notch. We agreed to meet withTeam Bedbury, and before we even left our introductory meetingwe knew they were a perfect fit for us - they know their stuff, andare so charming to top it off. They make you feel like old friends,even when you first meet.Team Bedbury immediately started sending us options we hadn'tyet seen, and it didn't take long for us to find a house we wanted toput in an offer for. And although our first offer wasn't a winner (nofault here other than a crazy market!), we quickly moved on to thenext one with some cheerful encouragement from Bob and Kat -losing out on an offer is never fun, but Bob and Kat knew just howto get us back on our feet and keep us in the 'game'. And then ithappened - on only our second offer, we won!We have Bob and Kat to thank for such a speedy home search, andfor knowing exactly what we needed to do to get our dream firsthome. We absolutely recommend Team Bedbury, and know thatwe'll definitely use them again.

ZillowVERIFIEDSeveral years ago when we moved from the east coast to CA, Boband Kat were highly recommended by family members who hadpurchased a home with them. During this cross country move, werelied on the Bedburys to find us the perfect home and theydid. With their hard work and assistance, we bought our housesight unseen and to this day, that house is still our favorite one ofall the homes we've lived in. The transaction became thefoundation for our friendship...Over the next 5 years, we underwent renovations severaltimes. Each time, we consulted Bob and Kat because we valuedtheir expert opinions. We wanted to be sure our improvements notonly satisfied our needs but would appeal to future buyers one dayshould we decide to sell the house (at the time we planned on this being our long term home). They kept us in check from over-improving and really provided great insight to market trends. Wecelebrated together after each renovation and I know that theyenjoyed seeing the designs and changes come to life as much as wedid. Sooner than we expected, the time came for us to have tomove back to the east coast. We asked Bob and Kat to step in onelast time to put the finishing touches on our home to make it shinewhile putting our house on the market. They made the last mile forus as easy as possible. Their attention to detail and making a homeready for showing is second to none.If you want to know what white glove service looks like from arealtor, the Bedburys are a perfect example of being there for youall the way. We were very pleased and happy when we first boughtour house 5 years ago, and just as happy with the services theyoffered throughout the years as well as during and after the sale ofour house.

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter renting in the Bay Area for several years, my wife and I found ourselves in a position to potentially purchase our first home. We began our search informally, going to open houses on the weekends in the neighborhoods we thought were nice to raise our family. We met many agents, but didn't want to commit ourselves to any one team until we were sure we had met the best agents who could represent our needs to the best of their ability.We met Bob and Kat at one of the very first open houses we attended and were immediately greeted with warm smiles. After several weeks of receiving email updates on available properties from Team Bedbury, we officially began our search with them. They took the time to learn what we wanted in a home and they delivered.Team Bedbury made time in their busy schedules to fit in our visits so that it was convenient for us. They promptly returned messages and replied to emails (sometimes immediately after they were sent), and reassured us that we would find the perfect house in a very competitive market.We finally found the right house, and we couldn't be happier. Bob and Kat took a potentially stressful and complicated process and helped us through with ease. They kept us informed and worked with the seller's agent to achieve the best outcome for both parties.Team Bedbury work around the clock for their clients and go the extra mile for them. Even post-sale, they provided multiple references for contractors, plumbers, electricians, etc.... They even surprised us with a treat the day we moved in. Bob and Kat are a wonderful team and I would recommend their services to anyone. In fact, we contacted them again to purchase an income property in San Jose and that went amazingly well!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe cannot recommend Ali Toscano and Bedbury Realtors highly enough! We are so grateful to Ali and Team Bedbury for helping find and purchase our dream home and for supporting us every step of the way. Ali is a total expert and worked tirelessly for us throughout the entire process. She was so in touch with what was happening in our area (San Jose) that we really felt that we had an edge with her on our side. She was also incredibly patient and never rushed us and even advised us on times we might have been too hasty.Ali always took the time to give us the benefit of her vast experience and expertise such that we felt like we were learning huge amounts as we went along. By the time we were closing, we felt very confident and that we had all the information we needed and that we were making a strategic, informed choice.Above all, Ali's ability to listen, understand our needs, concerns, challenges and worries were what made her the perfect partner for us. We felt comfortable and in control for the whole process and we knew that Ali was committed to getting us the right home at the right price, no matter how long it took. It was a total pleasure to work with her and cannot imagine going through this process with anyone else!

ZillowVERIFIEDAli Toscano was our real estate agent, and it was an awesome experience. It was so nice we did it twice: once to buy a new home and again to stage and sell our old home.We started casually looking for a bigger home in the Summer of 2016. We already owned a home, so we were familiar with the Silicon Valley market. At first we weren't sure we were ready for an upgrade, so we kept it casual. Then, when we saw a home we loved go under contract, we knew we needed to get serious. By 2016, the agents we had worked with years earlier had moved on to new careers. So we reached out to Ali. We had no idea at the time how lucky we would be to work with her.Simply put, Ali went above and beyond. First, she's an amazing listener. We sat down to tell her what we were looking for, and she immediately got it. Ali is excellent at working connections. We were all over the listings ourselves, and still Ali managed to find listings that met all of our criteria that weren't on the market yet or that we had missed. Whenever we liked a house, she contacted the relator, got disclosures, and got the inside scoop -- often before we had a chance to visit in person. Ali is thorough, dedicated, and hard-working. We have a habit of sending lengthy emails with millions of questions. Ali is the first person we have ever worked with who takes the time to reply to every point.Ali was very helpful when it was time to make an offer. She was strategic but also realistic, and she gathered a ton of information and consulted lots of outside advisers. She supported our choices, even if we strayed from her recommendation. She responded quickly and used technology like email, text, DocuSign, and FaceTime to speed things along. She also connected us with a great mortgage broker and title company, and we were able to close in under 20 days.Ali's commitment to perfection really shined when she helped us sell our old home. She took charge of the whole situation. Ali's perspective is that putting a little into a house before you sell it can get you a lot in return. She has a great eye for spotting those small upgrades that mean a lot to a buyer. She took the lead in brining in contractors to get estimates for everything including refinishing the floors, painting, staging, electrical, and yard work, and she went through everything with us before we committed to anything. In the end, our adorable first home looked so shiny, clean, and new. Ali planned a viewing for our neighbors and an Open House that sounded like so much fun, we wished we could have attended without being awkward! In the end, our home sold in just one weekend for much more than we thought possible. We are so grateful to Ali. She made a hard thing easy and fun, and she helped make our dreams come true.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have known team Bedbury since 2013. They helped us find and secure our home in Belmont, CA. After four years, we needed to relocate. We did not hesitate to contact them again, this time to lead the selling process of our property. Since we met them, their charisma, true caring spirit, and energy gave us a lot of optimism in this very competitive market. Their professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and negotiation skills are just some of the many excellent attributes of this team. We have been very fortunate to have them guiding us through this process. They made it so much easier and smoother for us. We couldn't imagine working with anybody else.

ZillowVERIFIEDLike many of you reading this, My husband and I were looking to buy for the first time, but did not know the best way to get started. We frequented open houses constantly, did our own research, but we never felt ready or "in the know" about taking that next big step.And so it happened that at yet another open house, we met a listing agent who was genuine, insightful, and listened to what we were looking for. Normally, as some of you have experienced already, the listing agent would shove a card in our hands and tells us to call him, but this was different. When Bob asked us if we wanted to talk more seriously to him and his partners, we took him up on his offer immediately!And we never looked back!Bob and Kat were the answer to question we didn't even know we needed to ask! They gave us great advice, told us what to look for, provided us all the information we needed to learn the process, and most importantly never rushed or tried to sell us on a property we didn't want. They always made time for our emails, texts, calls, and visits, and knew how to resolve each and every situation that came up! For example: our Mortgage Loan Officer decided to quit his bank 4 days before our first offer was due. Not a problem for BobKat! They had an extremely professional lender ready for us the next day!And when we finally won our house, they were there to explain every step of escrow process! Providing constant guidance and advice on each contract, disclosure, and timeline detail was immensely valuable to us as it's so easy to get lost in the documentation! I like to think that my husband and I are smart and organized people, but we honestly could not have done it without them. Even now that we have moved in, they are still a fountain of advice and support, providing us referrals for every house situation that has come up!If you are getting serious about buying a home and you need someone you can trust, you've really came to the right place! We love our new home and we could not have done it without Bob and Kat!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first-time home buyers in the Bay Area, we knew that a challenging and difficult path was ahead of us, and we knew that a stellar realtor was critical to our success. Following a colleague's advice to work with Ali Toscano from Bedbury Realtors was a decision that made our intimidating purchase exciting, enjoyable, and an all-around great experience.From the moment we met Ali, we were impressed by her knowledge of the area, her eagerness to learn our likes and dislikes, and her insightfulness. It was easy to trust Ali and we instantly knew that we would be successful working together. We bonded over Google Spreadsheets, cats, and wine, and were so impressed by how easy it was to trust and get along with Ali. One of the things we liked most about working with Ali was her honesty and candor in the face of our millions (and millions) of questions and concerns. She faced our middle-of-the-night freakouts with aplomb and never seemed to be phased by our emails that started out with "just a few quick questions..." and then lasted for pages and pages.While purchasing our new home, we were faced with quite a few challenges, all of which Ali faced head on, while telling us - "I've got this. You're OK." That sort of honest, kind reassurance in the face of daunting obstacles provided us with the confidence we needed to pursue and purchase the home of our dreams. Her problem-solving mindset and tenacity absolutely helped us work through each of the challenges we faced.We've been living in our dream home for nearly a week now, and we couldn't imagine going through the home-buying process with anyone besides Ali. She is continuing to stay in touch and inquiring about our experience thus far. Her dedication to ensure we're happy & taken care of extends well past the closing date. We're so lucky that Ali was the hard-working, determined, trustworthy, and enjoyable realtor that we selected, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone searching for someone to help them buy their dream home.

ZillowVERIFIEDA big thanks to Kat, Bob and Ali at Team Bedbury. Having worked with you back in 2010 on the purchase of a home, there was no question that you would be the team to sell my condo. The condo had been a rental for 13+ years so I knew it needed some repair and updating to appeal to todays home buyers. Thank you for your guidance, resources, coordination and professionalism throughout the entire process. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY we could have sold this place over asking and with multiple offers without you. Every dollar spent was capitalized on in the sale. When we came on the market in the Fall, there were already 2 other identical units for sale in the complex that had been sitting for weeks without activity. The rainy weather also posed a threat to a low Open House attendance. After the transformation to my condo was done, it was clear to see why it sold and the other condos didnt. Added to its appeal was the presentation you designed during the Open Houses. As I walked into the front door after an Open House you hosted, the experience was so inviting. There were drinks, goodies in the kitchen, a stunning multiple-page brochure to skim through, your scented signature candle (amazing), and 2 agents, Bob and Kat, smiling and at times shaking out umbrellas. The Open Houses were miraculously well attended despite that bad weather. Your reputation of creating a buzz was evident. I know people have come to aEURoeExpect More!aEUR? when they work with you guys and that is what got the job done. Thank You so very much! -Bernie
