Paul Talbot is an amazing real estate agent. He will work relentlessly until you find the right place. During the two plus years that he worked with us (very indecisive, first-time buyers) he never gave up. When we met him, we didn't even have a loan pre-approval, something that had already deterred other agents from wanting to work with us. Paul was happy to help us through that process and, once pre-approved, to start the more serious house-hunt.
In this crazy Bay Area market, it took a long time for us to be really ready to bid. He would never show signs of impatience through the dozens of houses he would find for us. He would say, with total confidence, "we would find the perfect place for you guys" and indeed he did! On our second bid, and for a price we were more than comfortable with.

He also made sure the quite tricky negotiation process run smoothly, and, once the house was ours, held our hands through every step of the paper work.
Since he's very knowledgeable in house remodeling himself, he even helped with the house renovations by recommending contractors, materials, walking us through the process of requesting permits in Oakland, etc.
And, to our surprise, he presented us with a lovely welcome-to-the-neighborhood goodie bag!
My husband and I couldn't be more grateful to have worked with him.
