"I have never written a Yelp review before, but I write this with pleasure and appreciation. I can't recommend Robert and his team highly enough. Robert was incredibly helpful in helping us find and buy our new house. He was always pro-active and on top of things before we were even aware of them as he guided us through the process from start to the very finish. Apart from knowing the local market we were looking in (Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond), Robert is extremely knowledgeable about all things houses: foundations, electrical systems, construction, etc. This was all very helpful… Read MoreRead Less

"We were referred to Robert from 3 (!) separate people who all loved working with him, and we had the same experience. He was so knowledgeable about the Bay Area, and as first-time buyers, we learned a lot about everything involved in the process. We were also on a bit of a tight schedule, and he was so accommodating and went out of his way to help us through the process. We also realized that his contacts with other agents in the area made a huge difference, and in general we felt we were in great hands. I would 100% recommend him to anyone buying a house, and we will definitely work with him … Read MoreRead Less

"I am providing the Parker George Team with a five star recommendation based on my experience in working with Robert and his team on a most difficult sale of property in Oakland. The Parker George Team coordinated all aspects of clean up, repair, paint, refinishing, and staging of a poorly maintained condominium in Oakland under an aggressive time line. The property was made available for sale on time, and effectively marketed for two weeks. The end result was was multiple offers far exceeding asking price and my personal expectations. Robert's communication process was excellent and he continu… Read MoreRead Less

"Robert is everything we were looking for in a realtor and some things we didn't know were possible. He is knowledgeable. From the competitive nature of Bay Area real estate game to the nuances of sustainable building, Robert provided insight and guidance. When we encountered ambiguity, Robert would do additional research and come back with more information. At every turn, we felt there was clarity, and in some cases, that clarity helped us to know when something was not a fit. Robert is both tactical and strategic. He worked with us to set up an offer strategy, walking us through various… Read MoreRead Less

"We cannot recommend Robert Parker and his team highly enough! My husband and I crossed paths with Robert at one of his open houses and it was immediately clear that he is someone who is attentive, genuine and well-versed in the Bay Area market. Robert stood out because he truly listens and is incredibly attentive to your needs. For us, as first-time homebuyers, it was crucial to move at our own pace without feeling rushed or pressured and Robert was patient, allowing us to take our time and making sure we were comfortable at every step of the journey. Another thing that set Robert apart was… Read MoreRead Less

"I can’t give a high enough recommendation for Robert Parker and his team as we searched for our new house in the Bay Area. Robert was a total pleasure to work with, and a consummate professional in every respect. He was thoughtful about our situation and criteria, and guided us strategically through both the search and the purchase processes. Because he is so respected has such great rapport with agents in this area, he was able to guide and successfully maneuver the close on our new house. We are grateful and delighted to recommend him!"

Buyer
"Robert and team were an unbelievable support to my family as we went through the home buying process here in the east bay. He immediately helped us wrap our heads around the challenging and competitive market here and put us in the best position to get an offer accepted. Even while we pursued financing through a VA Loan, Robert made sure we were competitively positioned on every offer and eventually landed us our dream home in Oakland. Once our offer was accepted, he provided a host of contractors to us to help get quotes on various projects we wanted to get done on our new home. He also d… Read MoreRead Less
