"I'm so glad a friend recommended Colm to me; otherwise, I would have never had the pleasure. I just relocated to San Francisco and knew nothing about the areas or microclimates. I didn't necessarily have a strict wish list but after seeing a few places with me and getting my thoughts, Colm was able to articulate it and in some cases, knew what I was looking for even when I wasn't sure. Unlike other brokers, he usually accompanied to open houses and/or screened a few properties during brokers' tours. On the few occasions when he couldn't accompany me, he offered me the use of his car as I did not have my own wheels. He even worked at 2 am (because of the time difference) during his vacations just to get an offer(s) in on time. The seller at the house I finally closed, who also happened to be the listing agent, had rave reviews about Colm during the entire process as he made the process smooth for both sides and was very professional and thorough throughout. The best part of working with Colm is his patience, knowledge, and client service throughout the process and well after the close. I am in the process of renovating, and he's helped me through that process as well, making introductions and assisting in negotiations (did I mention he's also an attorney? Bonus!). He's a trusted advisor and even talked me out of things when he felt that it wasn't right for my personality and/or not good for potential resale. It was a 4-5 month process (actually 8 months, if you count the time that I was looking remotely as I was still overseas) and a number of failed offers because of the crazy multiple-offers market of the Bay Area. Colm was not only my agent, but my psychiatrist as he tried to keep me upbeat each time an offer wasn't accepted and a friend. He even checked in on me my first night in a big, old home by myself and even offered to come to pick me up in the middle of the night and crash in their guest room if I didn't want to somehow stay alone. How many brokers do you know that would genuinely care for your best interest and go that extra mile?"
