★★★★★

I could not be more pleased with Sean. As a first-time home buyer, I needed a realtor who was patient, knowledgable, and honest. He was all of these and then some. He was not only extremely professional, but was personable and more than willing to go the extra mile. One of the things I appreciated most about Sean was his honesty and low-pressure approach. He provided his honest opinion, even when it didn't benefit him. I am extremely pleased with my home purchase and am eternally grateful for Sean's role in making it happen.

We met Sean Walsh (from Compass Real Estate) during our visit to an open house. We started talking to him and quickly liked his knowledgeable and easy-going style of communication; later that same day, we asked Sean to be our Agent…Within a few weeks, we were in contract for the home we bought! During our search, Sean provided neighborhood/property insight and price parameters that were useful in our decision-making. He also gave us the flexibility/space when we needed to mull things over. Whenever we needed further guidance and clarifications, Sean was quick to respond. We appreciated Sean's friendly and patient demeanor, which helped make our home search/buying process a pleasant experience. We plan to recommend Sean to anyone looking to buy/sell a home in the East Bay – in fact, we already have. Carlos & Graciela

★★★★★

After several years of actively "house hunting", we were able to find a property that provided all the options we wanted in a home. It was at the very start of the CA Covid -19 "Shelter in Place" directives. The process was very anxiety producing but was also compounded by the fact that the home purchasing process in itself in a very competitive market is very complicated and requires expert knowledge and excellent negotiating skills. Sean Walsh provide excellent support and expert guidance during a very difficult and anxiety producing transaction. From our immediate engagement with Sean, as our agent, it was very obvious that he was genuinely concerned for our best interest and maintained constantly communications / appraisal on the status of challenges we encountered during our home purchasing process. We were able to complete 95 % of this transaction virtually during the CA Covid 19 "shelter in place". I would not hesitate to recommend Sean Walsh to anyone that is in the Real Estate market to either purchase or sell their home.
