CAVINESS, STRAUB & ASSOCIATES - Top Realtors in Silicon Valley, CA | Redwood City, CA

One of the best decisions I've ever made was to work with this real estate group. I needed to sell my home and I did not have much know-how when it comes to preparing it for market, or timing. I saw an open house they put on in my neighborhood, and said to myself "I want this to happen to my house". I spoke to Don Straub about a plan, and he had so much more input than I expected from a real estate agent.

I didn't want to vet contractors with the limited time I had to get to market. So I had him bring in his associates and we came up with a plan for the house. Next step, get me out of the hou

I had an excellent experience working with Don Straub and Brett Caviness and highly recommend them as top real estate agents in Palo Alto. They helped me both buy a home and sell my apartment, and in both transactions I felt I was in a winning position — great value on the house and a record price per square foot on the apartment. They are extremely knowledgeable about the nuances of the Bay Area market, with outstanding negotiation skills and a strategic, detail-oriented approach. I always felt fully represented and confident that they had my best interests in mind.

We recently sold two homes with Brent And Don. Their energy is contagious and their focus dead on. They offered to stage our home and did a wonderful job and their agency backed a loan to do work on both homes. Worked that added value. Brent and Don were always extremely responsive and overly professional. They sold our homes in seven and four days. Both had over asking this team gets an A+.

We recently relisted our home in Redwood City and chose to work with Don Straub this time. It was such an easy and seamless process. Don and Brett were so helpful and had great ideas for improvements on our home. We had already moved out of state and they took care of all the upgrades and marketing of our home before it went on the market. Their positive attitude was so refreshing and made the sale of our home a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend using CAVINESS, STRAUB & ASSOCIATES - COMPASS, especially working with Don Straub and Brett Caviness.

Don, Brett and his team were exemplary. They made my first experience selling a home easy and smooth from beginning to end, and it ended in an offer that exceeded my expectations. They knew exactly which repairs/improvements to suggest to make my house marketable, and did excellent staging and marketing. They are organized, quick-moving, and easy to work with, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.
