    We needed to sell our home of 50 yrs where are children grew up, went to local schools, our growing up homes were around the block and 3 blocks away. It was unreal to think we were really doing it. Obviously, we had no experience with the selling process. Todd knew everything and was very kind and patient teaching us how the process would go and he, and Tanya were there for every step and question. They were able to help us make transitions even when we moved to Reno and still had much work to do, physically and papers. We learned about docusignig and had to even get notaries to help with power of attorney for my disabled husband when papers needed to be signed and he was in the Reno hospital. Todd was there every step of the way. I really needed that help. I am connected to Berkeley in so many ways, it was a very emotional experience and Todd understood that. I had no trust in the process going into it and feel like I survived pretty well thanks to Todd and his team.

    Todd and Tania did a fantastic job helping us sell our Albany home. They helped us with fix up decisions, they have great people to do the work, and they had a great stager. They earned their commission several times over with all the help they gave us. I would strongly recommend you have Todd help you. Our house showed beautifully, and looked fantastic. Todd showed it for two weekend and handled the offers in a very professional manner. A great agent like Todd and Tania makes everything so much smoother, and they will get you better offers also. Todd also sold our prior home in the area.

    I am pleased to report that Todd Hodson is an excellent agent/broker. We are still in the early stages of preparing my house to place on the market and Todd is responsive to my many questions. I note that Todd is also very highly thought of by other agents in the area for his knowledge and wonderful treatment of clients.

    I had to fix up and sell a home while being 450 miles away. Todd Hudson was a lifesaver for my anxiety. He knew all the companies and contacts necessary for everything from an estate sale to staging. All the individuals he recommended were competent and reasonably priced. He knew what to do, what not to do, and got it all done professionally even though I was not always present. I was truly impressed with his high level of integrity - something rarely associated with realtors. I would highly recommend Todd in a heartbeat for any realtor needs. Thanks so very much Todd!!!!

    We had been looking for a house for three years and frequented numerous open houses. It was at one of these that we met Todd, who was filling in for another agent. It turned out to be our lucky day! In those three years, no other agent we met could match, or even come close to Todds overall expertise. When we found that special house, we asked for Todd to show it. What impressed us the most was his background in construction and as the property was shown, he gave his honest opinion about various things we saw AND things that only HE saw! His upfront evaluation saved us the expense of numerous inspection fees that might have turned out negative. As it turned out, he gave the go ahead and we proceeded. Needless to say, we purchased the property. We found him to be diligent in all his efforts and he followed through in all areas. He knows the market and how to strategize to your advantage. Todd does what it takes to ensure a smooth process and a great deal!
