Exciting, organized, quick

Extremely professional. Raziel and his team ran a very comprehensive and impressive process. From the pre-marketing flier to soliciting (and accepting an) offers. Great outcome for us. We were very happy with the price and felt great about the family taking our home…they will really enjoy our street and our neighbors will enjoy them.

Over the years, I had noticed Raziel’s marketing materials. They were just so well done and so smart. I was also very involved with Burlingame Community for Education Foundation (BCE) and Raziel was the first realtor to sign up with the BCE Realtor Program. In addition to a friend’s recommendation, these things had us sold!

Package deal for us. We wanted him to represent us for both the buying and selling. Also, Raziel was just a great fit for my wife and I…we exited the process with a new friend!

How quick it went! And how addictive real estate is and so fun to follow.

Two things. First, how fast it went from going on the market to accepting an offer…5 days! Second, how emotionally attached I was to our house…it wasn’t easy leaving our home of 10 years with so many wonderful memories.

Extensive. We must have looked at 50+ homes in the area. But well worth the effort, as once we found our current home, we immediately knew it was the one.

It was a long journey because we didn’t have to move. We were only going to buy a house if it was the Right One. Raziel suffered through many many months with us. But it was an amazing education and when we saw the right one, we knew!

That it was actually kind of fun.

How few homes come on the market! People just don’t move away. Which shouldn’t be surprising as we moved from one location in Burlingame to another…we didn’t want to leave either!

Awesome!

We wanted a little larger home with a yard to throw a lacrosse ball in, in Burlingame, with no basement and no pool. BAM! Raziel delivered. If it weren’t for him, we would not have found such a perfect outcome. We absolutely love our new home!

Top-notch.

We love Raziel!! Raziel and his amazing team helped us buy our new Burlingame home and sell our old one. He was so incredibly patient with us. Gave us smart advice. Made everything as painless and smooth as possible. Most importantly, we trust him implicitly and just flat out like the guy. He has the best attitude and simply loves his job. You can tell immediately from all of his materials and his approach that he is a smart, thoughtful realtor that goes above and beyond. Did I mention that he is smart?? Cannot recommend Raziel enough.

I grew up in Palo Alto. I left the area for 8 years. Eventually chose Burlingame because it reminded me a lot of Palo Alto when I was a kid.

I grew up in Virginia, where most of my family still resides. A few years out of college I decided to move to the Bay Area for one year…that was 20 years ago. What kept me here? Well, exactly what my mom feared, I met a girl from California!

That people know each other. They feel proud to live here. I love the size of Burlingame – you always see someone you know. And it is beautiful. The trees!!

What I most love about Burlingame is the “small town” feel and that it’s a community founded on family values.

Become a theoretical physicist…derailed in college due to a girl. Different story for a different time :)

Babysitting. But my first "real" job was as a summer camp counselor. My worst job was working as a chamber maid in Nantucket.

My first real job was definitely my favorite. It was during my tenth grade summer and I worked as part of a small construction crew remodeling bathrooms. 6 guys (me 16; them in their late-20s) with nail guns, power saws, working in jeans, t-shirts, sneakers and a tool belt…nirvana!

Adjusting to these Bay Area real estate prices. I’m from Virginia, remember!
