"Burt is an amazing realtor and helped us buy our first house in Pacifica. He was thorough and patient about explaining how everything worked. He pointed out a lot of potential problems with houses that we looked at. He had great recommendations for other vendors, like inspectors and electricians, and made good guesses about how much different repairs would cost. He communicated with the sellers when we had questions about things like keys and landscaping. He gave good advice without rushing us into any decisions. He seemed to know the neighborhoods well. He helped us get a good price on our house. Throughout the process, he clearly had our best interests at heart."

"We had the pleasure of working with Burt in purchasing our home! We were impressed by Burt’s in-depth knowledge about Peninsula, specifically the San Mateo neighborhoods. As first time buyers, Burt was very patient in guiding us through the process. It was an educational process, and we learned a lot about home maintenance. During house tours, Burt would point out items of note such as potential asbestos, foundation, drainage, or roofing issues. Ultimately, we never felt pressured to make any decisions we were not comfortable with. He was responsive whenever we had questions and also gave us space whenever we needed to think things through. In such a hot market with so much money on the line, this balance was invaluable, and he truly was an advocate for us."
