There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.
Thank you for your submission!
Trying to buy a home in SF (or the Bay Area in general, for that matter) right now is like entering a war zone. You have to be equipped with the right
tools. You have to have extensive knowledge about the battleground. You have to have a strategy that will give you the edge against the opponents.
Fernando will be your key wartime advisor, and will help you get the house you want.
Fernando was recommended very highly from my friend who just bought a home through him. I was clueless about the home buying process, but
Fernando was able to explain to me all that I needed to know, and I was able to get an awesome place! He’s always responsive and answered my
hundreds of questions immediately, and gave me great advice throughout the whole process. I could not be happier with the whole process, thanks to
him!
Fernando was a joy to work with! He always kept us well informed about opportunities and was never pushy about making a bid. While many real
estate agents push you to close on a house, his belief is that if he matches you with the best home then you will be a return customer for life. He
was always very honest about his opinions on houses; if something looked like a poor investment then he would tell us straight out. Fernando also
made himself available for us to reach him 24/7. He spent several hours chatting with us late into the night and worked with us for ten months until
we found the perfect home. We would highly recommend working with him!
Fernando as Oakland resident helped to buy a home in Oakland. Like many people, we had an intense, and sometimes harduous hunt for a house.
We started in Berkeley, looked in Rockridge, different parts of Oakland, and eventually settled in Montclair.
All throughout, Fernando could not have been more helpful, insightful, creative, realistic, and professional. He really knew the market, knew what
houses were going to go for. We made offers on four different houses, and every time, Fernando was right on, in terms of what they were worth, and
what it would take to buy it. When we were going to get outbid, he was respectful in his advice.
He’s more than just a transaction agent, Fernando is a partner. Couldn’t recommend him more. He is professional and great person.
If I could give Fernando Acosta more than 5 stars I would. My husband and I worked with Fernando for over two years before we bought our first
home this November. When we met Fernando, we were still dating, had a small budget, and couldn’t afford the type of home we wanted to buy.
Fernando stuck it out with us and patiently checked in over the years as we saved money, looked at homes, and occasionally made an offer.
Through our time together, Fernando has been a pleasure to work with. He is extremely patient, responsive, and a wonderful source of information.
I would constantly email him asking questions about homes and his opinion. Fernando always responded quickly and was quick to get any
information on a house we were interested in. When we were serious about a house, Fernando would always visit the home and speak with the
listing agent on our behalf. When we made an offer, Fernando was very thorough going through the disclosures, explaining anything he found, giving
his opinion on a offer price, walking us through the purchase agreement, and calling us as soon as he heard from the listing agent.
When we finally got into contract, Fernando was very diligent following up with the listing agent since there were lots of pending items from the
seller. He attended our signing at the Title Company which most realtors don’t do and helped walk us through the mountain of papers we needed
to sign. After the close of Escrow, he has checked in to make sure our house was working and helped resolve an issue with the gas stove. He even
surprised us with a nice present to celebrate our new home!
We have been so lucky to have found Fernando as our realtor. Other agents constantly mentioned that we found a great realtor and they also love
working with him. If you’re looking for a great realtor, I highly recommend working with Fernando Acosta, you will not be disappointed.”
From start to finish, Fernando was a great agent in supporting our move to the East Bay! We first met him over a year ago at a house he was
showing, but we weren’t ready to buy yet. Fast forward to January and within weeks, he was able to direct us, share his knowledge of the various
neighborhoods of the East Bay and make specific recommendations on the bidding process that got us our ‘forever’ home!
He is easy to get along with, offers tons of suggestions and has great follow-up! I would not hesitate to suggest him to my friends and colleagues.
I was looking for a real estate broker to help me look for properties to purchase in SF and after asking around, was recommended to Fernando
Acosta. I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for, but Fernando stuck with me for long time of searching for the right property. He never pressured
me to submit an offer. He was super responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful with giving me all the information I needed to make an
informed decision. He made me feel really comfortable throughout the negotiation process, answering all of my questions and always talked things
out with me. I always felt he was truly representing my best interests and when I was finally ready to submit an offer, he did his best to negotiate
the best price. He’s also really light-hearted and easy going, which made it a lot easier spending my weekends house hunting for over six months!
Because of his patience, I’m now a proud home owner and I’m so happy with my home.
I would highly recommend Fernando to all my friends who are looking for a great Agent.
I was a first time home-buyer in SF, unfamiliar with the process and a little nervous about navigating the SF real estate market. Fernando spent a
considerable amount of time taking me through the ins-and-outs before I started my search and I immediately felt like I could trust him. He advised
me on getting a pre-approval and recommended a great mortgage company to work with. When I found a place I loved, and Fernando was quick to
respond to my call and got an offer in fast, advising me on the bid and other items (e.g., letter to seller); the first offer I ever put down got accepted
due to his skills navigating the process. Post-offer, he was super responsive to calls and emails and happy to answer any questions I had. I’d
recommend Fernando to anyone!
We first met with Fernando at his office for a quick meeting. He educated me in the type of market we are in and what we can expect. Couple of
hours later, I attended an open house in the area of Daly City and fell in love with my dream home! Next day, we drafted up our first offer. He went
over each line item and he made sure I understood everything and was comfortable in what I was offering. Few days later (felt like forever) he told
me that the sellers wanted to counter offer. We worked together and came up with a good counter offer that wasn’t over my budget nor way above
our original offer. Less than 24 hours later, I got a call that our offer got accepted.
As a first time home buyer in a sellers market, Fernando made the whole process stress-free. I will be recommending him to my family and friends. If
you are looking for a home in San Francisco or Daly City , give Fernando a call. You will not be disappointed!
Fernando is an incredibly astute agent. He understands San Francisco and the Bay Area housing market, gives great council without being
overbearing, and is extremely trustworthy with a great local reputation. We wouldn’t have gotten such a great deal on a house if it wasn’t for his
negotiation skills and attention to detail. He’s also connected us with great tradespeople since buying our home, which has been a lifesaver!
Fernando is wonderful to work with, and we’d work with him again in a heartbeat. He is my realtor for life!
After fruitlessly looking around by myself and attempting to use a handful of online services I was lucky to find Fernando via Zillow. He was
incredibly helpful in helping me understand the market in the area and gave me great advice on what to look for and where.
After a short search we ended up finding a place I loved and he effortlessly guided me through the task of making an offer, negotiating with the
sellers, and closing on the property. Throughout the entire process he was incredibly useful in helping smooth out any issues and answering any
questions I had with haste. Fernando had great relationships with everyone we worked with and was able to quickly and accurately summarize all of
the work that had to be done with them.
Angelo was a absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend his services to anyone looking for an agent without any hesitations!
