Compass

We made the difficult decision to leave the Bay Area after 12 years and nearly 10 in our Redwood City house where we raised our son to move cross country. Our realtors Brett and Don made everything so much easier. They are so knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods in Redwood City and strategic pricing, prepping, and decisions to make. They are full of recommendations and resources from movers to the little things. Their marketing strategies really worked and generated multiple offers and an overbid situation. They managed our expectations about the process better than anyone could have. They also made it so much easier for us to prep the house for sale and really helped support us with every little detail and our many endless questions. If you are looking for a Redwood City real estate agent, you cannot go wrong with this team. Above all they were kind, compassionate and extremely responsive! I keep saying "in Don and Brett we trust" and I will stand by that. We could not have asked for a better outcome!

Don Straub knew the Peninsula market for our 2BR luxury condo in downtown San Carlos in August 2026. He priced it accordingly and we received two offers over asking price within six days of listing. Equally important, he took care of all the preparation for the sale and dealt with the prospective buyers' agents fairly and firmly. He was in regular communication with us throughout the process and his staff was efficient in helping us with the title search and closing processes. I would definitely use Don and his associates again.
