    As a realtor myself from out of the area, I sought out Joakim to interview him for the sale of my vacation home in Half Moon Bay. From our first conversation, I was overwhelmingly impressed with his deep knowledge of the local market and, most importantly, his professional demeanor. We moved forward with the listing immediately, and I am so glad I made that decision. Joakims communication throughout the entire listing and escrow process was outstandingaEUR"clear, timely, and very detailed. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a highly skilled and trustworthy real estate professional.

    We interviewed a couple of different local realtors, and chose David for a combination of factors -- track record selling in our community, how easy it was to talk with him and his staff and feel that they understood what was important to us, and on a personal level because of his involvement in the local arts community through The Ocean Blue Vault gallery. Throughout the process, David and Judy provided advice on what we needed to do to improve our chance of success in selling our home. They did a walk through and provided a punch list of cosmetic updates. They project managed painting, floor refinishing, staging and photos prior to the listing. When the first offer came in it was not what we wanted, but David personally coached us through a successful negotiation. We sold in 18 days on the market, closing before the holidays, and amidst increasing market uncertainty.

    Joakim was quick to respond on questions and clarifications. He made the process of homebuying less stressful for us. Easy to talk to and very professional. Would recommend to our family and friends.

    Having Joakim Bye act as my agent for selling my home stands out as one of the finest experiences in my very rich life. I have known Joakim to be an exceptionally bright, caring and dedicated person since he was a boy. When he came to my home in Canada Cove to begin the sales process, a neighbor complained that my loose gutter was making noise that caused his dog to bark. Joakim immediately stepped up, saying, aEURoeI can fix that. Ill get my ladder and tools.aEUR? That generosity is characteristic of how he took care of everything. In minutes Joakim repaired the loose gutter; problem solved. Joakim helped set the price, showed me a comparable home for sale a few houses away from mine. He knew the requirements of my HOA and took care of meeting them. He helped me get moved out by giving access to my home to various friends. When one repair could have been problematic, he arranged to have the repair managed by the buyer after the sale so I didnt worry about the repair being acceptable. Throughout the process, Joakim was so capable, clear and strong, I felt cared for personally. He was kind like a good nephew would be. I am so glad I chose Joakim as my Agent. He got a good price for my home and took care of every detail most professionally. He did so many thoughtful extras because I had moved to another state. Joakim Bye is the best Agent you could hope for.
