Review for Member: Robert Whitelaw
ZillowVERIFIEDRobert helped us buy and when the time came to sell he was our first call. He really understood our unique property which was remote and off the grid and developed a marketing campaign to attract the right buyer. He was responsive to our questions, calls, and eased our level of stress. Robert was very easy to work with and was open and honest during the process.

ZillowVERIFIED Made the experience seamless. Sold in less than a day...We moved out of the area, Robert handled everything. Robert had done his homework and presented comps for the area. Once we signed him, he started working on the listing, even though the listing would not happen for a month or so. Immediately our house was put on Facebook and on line "coming soon". Robert knew exactly who to call to get the home ready to sell. He handled all the services required in order to make the closure smooth.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert was really great to work with during the sale of our first home. We were able to put our house up on the market and have great offers within the first 2 weeks and closed on our house within 30 days. We did a concurrent close with our new home in the Sacramento area and Robert helped to ensure that we closed on time in the Bay area while working with our escrow company to make sure our home would be ready for move in the very next day. Robert is very knowledge, friendly, honest, and professional. He guided us throughout the entire process and was very quick to respond to all our questions. I will recommend Robert to anyone trying to sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is a very honest realtor. He is a no-nonsense, no-BS realtor. He took time to show us different areas of Morgan Hill and his local knowledge is too good. He does a great job with Market analysis for the property and helps to write up a competitive offer. He is very quick to respond if we have any questions. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a realtor who is very honest, hard working and tech savvy.

ZillowVERIFIED I found robert through his weekly online show on real estate. He helped me understand the entire process and made everything much easier. I was buying in southern california and he works in northern california, but he still helped me work through what turned out to be a very complicated and challenging home purchase. I can't help thinking that if I had not found robert before I started shopping, I would have made tons of mistakes that would have ended up costing me tons.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert's knowledge of the local housing and general real estate market trends are spot on. He is constantly educating me regarding the do's and don'ts of housing markets WITHOUT the high sales pressure tactics. The pod-casts he has regularly are very helpful.

ZillowVERIFIED About a year ago we were moving and looking for a home in Hawaii. As a follower of Robert's podcast Real Estate Realities with the Rebel Broker, I looked to Robert for advise on my upcoming purchase. Although,majority of his dealings have been in the California market he shared extensive and sound insight on the real estate market as a whole and the process of buying a home in the unique Hawaiian market. As a result of his advisory I was well informed on the purchasing process and was able to make the swift moves to land our purchase in under 30 days.

ZillowVERIFIED I really enjoy the interaction with Robert. He is very knowledgable about the housing market and has given me tons of information. His no-nonsense approach is refreshing and I feel I will get the best deal through Robert. I feel good about my purchase with Robert and that is not a statement I think people would give buying a house. I am looking to upgrade from my current home and Robert is very attentive and respectful to my needs. If you are looking for an agent, give Robert a call. You wont regret it.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is entertaining, and is easy to work with. He is a real go-getter, and is very knowledgeable. I am impressed by his honesty, and integrity. If he does not know something, he will admit it, and will find the answer right away. As a testimony to his knowledge, and familiarity with the market in his location, he does regular Podcasts. If you are interested in purchasing, selling, or just want to get information, I highly recommend Robert Whitelaw!

ZillowVERIFIED Robert and his associate, Renee Lee visited our home in a relaxed, yet very professional manner. At no time did they use "high pressure/get it sold" tactics. Rather, we discussed an effective marketing strategy, price point and timing of the process. Renee has been calm and assuring throughout the of selling our home and purchasing our beautiful new home in San Martin. Whenever an issue or question arose, she would promptly and calmly address them. We felt so assured throughout what could otherwise could have been a very stressful period. Our home sold in less than a week and above its list price! We got what we consider a good, fair price on our new home. We can recommend Robert and Renee without any reservations whatsoever.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert did a superb job in marketing my home and in dealing with the variety of people and personalities that expressed interest in the house. He was able to buffer me from much of the nonsense that goes on when selling a home and at the same time he offered me sound advice about how to best respond to potential buyers.Robert was undeterred by a few bumps along the way. He was more concerned with my wishes than in making a quick sale and a quick dollar. I trust Robert 100% and feel he was not only my realtor, but also a friend. If honesty and integrity are important to you, I recommend you consider Robert as your realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert is an awesome realtor. He is extremely smart, knows the market, is quick and responsive, and has high integrity. He puts his clients first. The single most important thing he did for me was help me make a smart offer on my home quickly. The market is moving quickly these days, but he knows it so well and knows so many people in the area that he can expertly assess what you should offer. He also has great tools and resources for finding the right home. In addition, he has tons of reliable contacts and effectively takes care of all the ins and outs of buying a home like inspections, repairs, and connecting you with great loan officers. You will not regret working with Robert.

ZillowVERIFIED After interviewing 5 real estate agents (Believe it or not, Robert actually SUGGESTED I do this!), my choice was clear. Robert has been doing this a very long time and his expertise and insights are what come from years of watching the real estate market. He gave my transaction the kind of attention it needed to make sure it came off without a hitch and made sure my interests were protected all through the process. He made a very stressful situation nearly stress-free with his professionalism, his willingness to clearly explain each step of the process and a total dedication to what was in my best interests. I have actually worked with Robert in two transactions at this point. He helped me purchase my first home in 2011 and he is now helping me find my first investment property. You simply cannot do better than Robert if you need a real estate agent!

ZillowVERIFIED I've bought and sold a number of homes. Of all the realtors I've encountered, Robert is one of th finest. He was able to clearly explain the process and was very prompt in following up on all of the steps along the way. It's especially nice that he's so comfortable with technology. We were able to stay in close contact online throughout the process of buying my new home. That made a busy travel schedule a non-issue.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert did a fantastic job helping us negotiate a short sale purchase. He had a lot of insight about how to negotiate this type of real estate transaction. Robert, was a big help with getting our inspections and loan process completed in time to make a very difficult real estate deal work out. We highly recommend Robert and will use his services again.

ZillowVERIFIED If you have ever gone through the process of working with a real estate person, you really need to experience the difference that Robert brings to the table!After my last experience, I interviewed at least 8 agents who all seemed to be reading from the same cheat sheet. Robert was completely different and took an approach unlike all the other agents I talked with. He has stayed focused on my need and has made searching for a home just about as easy as I could possibly imagine. I truly believe that he has put my needs above his desire to close the next deal. Not to mention he has adapted to my changing situations! We are in escrow as I write this and he also dominated the negotiation process! If you need a truly dedicated real estate person, Robert is the guy to call!

ZillowVERIFIED We recently bought a home with Robert's assistance in Morgan Hill. Excellent service and responsiveness. We were using a non-standard (VA) loan and everything went wonderfully. RECOMMENDED WITHOUT RESERVATION! Give him a call.

ZillowVERIFIED I'm a first-time buyer and Robert landed me a stellar deal. I found him here on Zillow and after answering some qualifying questions he went to work for me. I was ready to move fast, and Robert made it happen!After swinging and missing on a move-in ready home, I set my sights on a fixer upper that popped up around the corner. We quickly found out that the house already had at least one offer and a deadline was set for a few days later. Robert used his knowledge of the area to calculate a winning offer, and I'm now (somewhat) settled into the new place! I really couldn't be happier. Thanks Robert!

ZillowVERIFIED Robert helped us purchase a place in an area we were unfamiliar with. He also worked extremely well with our mortgage broker so that things ran fairly smooth considering we were buying a foreclosure.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I bought our first house with Robert as our agent. My wife and I each had a list of requirements that were very different. After each house we looked at, Robert talked to us about the things we each liked and disliked. He got us to come together on a list of things that we both wanted from house and that would make us both happy. We qualified for more, and look at more expensive houses, but Robert never pressured us into buy any of the houses we looked at, not even the one that we eventually bought. The negotiations for our house took a long time. Robert explain each step to us, answered all of our questions and was very patient. At each step, he explained what was likely to happen. All but one small step, went exactly as he thought it would. We bought our house with an FHA loan. The process for getting an FHA loan approved had just changed and it had been awhile since Robert worked with clients buying with one. He called our loan broker, who had worked with another family member in the past, and apologized for asking what he assumed would be a very common question, "How does the new process work and what do I need to do?" The loan broker spoke with my wife and I, and said, "No realtor asked her that question and wished more brokers would, as things would go much more smoothly." If it wasn't for Robert's attention to details and wanting the process to be smooth as possible, we wouldn't have gotten our house, as the FHA process changed just as we closed. I have already recommended Robert to friends. He is a down-to-earth, honest guy who loves real estate and cares about his clients.

ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking for an honest, non-slimball, upfront agent..Robert is your guy. About us: My husband and I were first time homebuyers (Robert just helped us purchase our first home). To start off we were the type of homebuyers who asked a zillion questions, trusted no one, felt everyone was out to screw us... and I can honestly say that Robert delivered for us time and time again. I genuinely TRUST Robert and felt that he had our best interest in heart during the entire process. Robert is highly knowledgeable in real estate and phrases things in a way that first-time homebuyers can understand. More importantly this guy is extremely personable and funny...someone you actually want to work with.Robert is very responsive. He was in constant contact with our bank agent and escrow making sure that things were in line and on schedule. He would give us updates without us ever having to ask. I was searching for Real Estate podcasts and that is how I came across Robert "The Rebel Broker". Overall, this guy is awesome and I would suggest you choose him if you DON'T LIKE the self-centered, name tag wearing, bragging about their awards type of agent!! This guy is awesome.

ZillowVERIFIED I have known Robert Whitelaw for 3 years, and used him to buy my current resident. I plan to use him again in the very near future to purchase a rental property. He is an EXCELLENT agent! Very very knowledgeable. And he will tell it like what it is - meaning that he won't up-sale you or tell you that "there are other offers coming in, so you better make an offer, too." If the real estate market is a buyer's market, he will tell you and advise you on a fair offer price. He will work with Sellers and the seller agent to get you the best deal possible at the time. He is also very PATIENT, which was exactly what I needed. I was 7 months pregnant at the time, so with hormone raging and the urge to "nest," Robert was able to keep my goal in mind and not rush into any "deal" that might have seen good at the time.So, in conclusion, would I recommend Robert to anybody? The answer is OF COURSE! He is the best agent that I have worked with. And I would know, I owned both commercial and residential property in bay area.

ZillowVERIFIED Robert Whitelaw is an outstanding broker. He's honest, straight forward and a professional. He is current and keeps abreast of all real estate changes with impressive knowledge of the market. His podcast, Real Estate Realities with the Rebel Broker, is not just entertaining, but extremely informative with statistics to back up everything he says. He provides useful information for clients both buying and selling their homes. I highly recommend Robert for all your real estate needs.
