"We can’t say enough about Ralph and Riette Fallant as people and as professionals. Shortly after the death of our mother we placed her home on the market. I was raised in this 72 year old Redwood City home so losing my mom as well as the family home was very difficult. Ralph and Riette were incredibly patient and understanding as they walked us through the sales process. They organized the repairs, clean up and donation of unwanted possessions. We were promptly consulted regarding every decision and our questions were expertly answered. The home sold after just one week on the market for well over asking price and closed without any issues. We credit Ralph and Riette for the ease of the sale and closing. We will forever be grateful to the Fallants and recommend them with 100% confidence."

"Before I met Ralph and Riette I had a difficult time finding an agent who understood my specific needs. The Bay Area is a highly competitive market and the Fallants were able to help me make a successful offer on the home I wanted to own as well as get a top offer for my existing property. Not only did I find expert agents, I also found new friends in Ralph and Riette."

"We had a superb experience working with Ralph and Riette to purchase our first home. Their expert understanding of the dynamics of the Bay Area real estate market and responsiveness to our feedback (and flexibility as our questions and understanding of what we were looking for evolved) gave us confidence we were in good hands. And their kindness and patience also stand out. They became friends and mentors we have continued to rely on for help navigating the first months of homeownership (recommending handymen, which improvements to make to our home, noting potential safety issues and checking in to say hello and see how they could help). We’d love to work with them again in the future. "

"Riette and Ralph were fantastic - we had no experience in the housing market, and they taught us everything we needed to know, from what to look for in a house, where to look for our budget, and how the entire process worked from start to finish. In a very competitive market, they showed us dozens of properties in only a few weeks, steered us away from risky houses we might otherwise have shown interest in, and sent us many recommendations based on what we valued most. They worked with us to adapt our strategy as we were outbid several times, expanding where we looked and what we looked for, as well as making time to show us promising candidates as soon as they were listed. Their recommendations were critical to finally having an offer accepted on a house that was perfect for us. Overall, they were extremely responsive and informative, and we felt they sincerely worked on our behalf. If we are ever back in the market, we would definitely go back to the Fallant Team."

"The Fallant Team made buying a home a breeze. I am thoroughly happy in my 1st home and am grateful I had them as agents. They are an awesome team and recommend them to anyone looking to purchase in the Bay Area!
I really appreciated their hard work, professionalism, punctuality, thorough communication, and knowledge of the areas I was looking to buy. They helped me focus my search criteria through review of online listings, attending open houses, and touring different neighborhoods. They even made a recommendation for a different area outside my search criteria and ended up purchasing there!
The Fallant Team also focused on protecting me through the entire process by helping me steer clear of bad properties, big potential repairs, and ensured good contract terms. Their expertise helped me feel comfortable with such a large purchase! "

"Riette and Ralph are your realtor "dream team". When our family was looking to buy our first home, they guided us through the whole process with patience, humor, and lots of practical wisdom.

"Ralph and Riette went above and beyond when helping me find my house. They're very knowledgeable, personable and punctual. I could be honest with them about what I was looking for and they'd be honest in return. They were seriously on top of any documents or questions I had or needed and if there was ever a delay it was due to the seller. After closing on my house, they were still there to help out and kept in touch, which is something I'm very grateful for. I recommend Ralph and Riette to anyone looking for a realtor and I look forward to working with them again in the future."
