ZillowVERIFIEDI had a wonderful experience working with Westin to purchase a home. He was a great communicator and helped the process be as efficient as possible. I had a lot of questions throughout the process and he was always willing to chat things through. We saw so many homes with him before we landed on the one and I really appreciated his patience. Westin is such a knowledgeable agent and definitely recommend working with him!

ZillowVERIFIEDHighlights: - Westins background in construction makes him a highly knowledgeable agent, and he has been one of the most insightful people weve met in the real estate business - He is highly connectedaEUR"from contractors ranging in all you might need for your home repairs/wants to really solid lenders, Westin knows the top people in the Bay Area and will get you in touch with them - Westin is dedicated, responsive, and extremely motivated. This made it much easier to get our first home in a time crunch while also feeling eager and happy with the house we ended up buying Westin is also somehow laid-back and super amicable, so you never feel pressured during the home-buying process. Other realtors can be pushy and insistent, but Westin focuses on giving advice and encouragement, which is why we believe he is able to help so many first-time homebuyers build generational wealth through real estate. The sappy stuff: My husband met Westin about 5 years ago when I started graduate school. At the time, my husband was thinking about getting a home, but he was torn because we had to leave the Bay Area temporarily so I could start and finish my degree in Southern California. Over the 5 years, Westin has been an agent weve reached out to and consistently felt encouraged and motivated by. We talked to various agents because my husband worked as a software developer in the real estate space. Even with plenty of differing experiences with real estate agents in the Bay Area, no one even remotely compared to Westin. We never got spam calls or messages from him, and hed only reach out to see where our heads were about the home-buying process. We sometimes genuinely felt bad taking so much of his time for advice because we werent sold on home ownership yet. Fast forward to 5 years later and about 3 months before I finished my PhD (while also in my third trimester of pregnancy with our second child), we hit Westin and told him we wanted to close on a house as soon as possible. Westin took that signal seriously, set us up with recommended lenders, and encouraged us to shop around during the pre-approval process to get a good idea of our buying power. From there, he worked around our busy and tight schedules to tour dozens of homes when we visited the Bay Area for short stints (while still living and working in Southern California). We made probably around 5 offers on homes in the Bay, where we were competitive each time. We even had a few instances where the seller's agents were unprofessional and unethical. Still, Westin stood his ground and tried to at least work around them because of our interest in the homes. Ultimately, we got our dream house in a neighborhood we never expected to get into. All while also somehow getting sellers credit for a rate buy-down and closing costs (thanks to Westins advice!), which made our mortgage payment manageable and kept us with a solid lump sum left over for investing and as a buffer in case anything went wrong. As an aside, Westin sat through my PhD defense, which was a detailed talk on materials chemistry. He answered my calls and reassured me when I lost all hope in securing a home for our children to grow up in. Westin is the best agent, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to sell our home in the future. We cant recommend him enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Westin as our realtor during our third home-buying experience, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outstanding service he provided. Having been through the process twice before in other states, this was our first venture into the California real estate market, specifically the challenging Bay area. From the moment we initiated contact with Westin, he demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and professionalism. Despite being located across the country in Florida, Westin seamlessly facilitated our home search, going above and beyond our expectations. His commitment extended over a year, during which he personally visited numerous properties in communities across the East Bay on our behalf and provided live virtual tours via phone along with many additional details of the local neighborhood and homes. Westin's expertise became evident as he guided us through the intricacies of the local market. His advice on crafting competitive offers and navigating various contingencies was invaluable. What truly set him apart was his unwavering patience throughout the multiple offers and complex negotiations we encountered before finding our dream home. The East Bay real estate market is uniquely challenging, but Westin's extensive network and resourcefulness shone through. He leveraged his vast contacts to gather additional information on homes and potential repairs, demonstrating a proactive approach that greatly eased our decision-making process. He also seamlessly coordinated inspections, ensuring a thorough evaluation of our prospective homes. Even when faced with unforeseen challenges that were beyond his control, Westin remained a pillar of support. His calm demeanor and reassuring presence were crucial during moments of uncertainty, turning potentially stressful situations into manageable ones. In the end, we successfully purchased a fantastic home in Hercules, CA situated in a delightful waterfront community. Westin's warm welcome and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience even more memorable. Truly, he went above and beyond. Westin was an invaluable partner in our home-buying journey. We are sincerely grateful for his exceptional service and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch realtor. Thank you, Westin, for making our California dream home a reality!
