Red Oak Realty

Simon's knowledge of the market, his understanding of timing and staging, and his command of the entire process were truly impressive. From day one, we felt like we were in expert hands. We trusted his process completely, and he and his team delivered beautifully. As with any home sale, issues came up along the way. Simon helped us navigate every one of them with professionalism, kindness, and a consistently positive attitude. We never felt stressed or uncertain aEUR" he always had a plan. We'd highly recommend Simon Black to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bay Area. You won't find a better advocate in your corner.

Simon Black was wonderful to work with. He has been in real estate for many years and was able to guide us through the process with great patience and efficiency. Very professional and knowledgeable. I can't highly recommend him highly enough.

Simon has been a wonderful real estate agent to work with during our first home purchase! He helped us understand the housing market and hone in on what we were looking for and what was realistic given our budget. He helped us find a lender who we trusted, and supported us tirelessly from offer submission to close. We closed on the house quickly, and felt organized and in the loop throughout the process. Simon is incredibly responsive, thorough, and thoughtful. Simon has also given us so many recommendations on companies and people he trusts for home repairs and renovations. We can't thank him enough for his support in making our first Bay Area home purchase a reality!

Simon is an exceptional realtor and we had an incredible experience with him. His organization, preparation, engagement, tenacity, strong communication and professionalism were absolutely necessary to compete in the market we were shopping in. We ended buying a great house at a price we were comfortable with in a neighborhood we love. We are experienced home buyers, but the East Bay market was a lot more challenging than the areas we had purchased homes in in the past. Simon was really helpful in filling all the knowledge gaps, and getting us prepared to put offers in on houses in a very short turnaround time. It was also invaluable to have someone that understood the different neighborhoods, real estate culture and local government rules that would come into play during the purchase. Simon really made us feel like a priority during this process and was a really effective project leader for our purchase. He kept on top of every aspect of the purchase, making sure nothing delayed closing, or making sure we didnt miss any important deadlines. Beyond very strong follow up with Realtors representing Sellers, he also kept in daily contact with Finance people, escrow, and title representatives as well to ensure there wasnt any hold ups. Mostly importantly he made time for us, to answer any large, or incidental questions we may have had. Now that the transaction is complete, hes still helping us with home improvement resources. I would strongly recommend working with Simon for any new or experienced buyer or seller.

Very patient, helpful, low pressure and responsive throughout entire process. We began as unsure movers/sellers and now in we in escrow after reviewing promising offers.
