Client Testimonials
Jack, I am writing this letter of
appreciation approximately two months after my family moved to the
town home that you helped to purchase. I am very happy to tell you
that we are extremely pleased with our place. In fact, we are very
glad that you took the extra effort in convincing us to buy this
place.
As you know, I came from the East Coast with absolutely no knowledge
about the real estate in the Bay Area. The very first time when I
met you regarding renting a suitable place, you were very kind to me
and took the time to explain to me about the real estate market in
the Bay Area. Following my conversation with you, I talked with a
couple of other agents, but later found that you gave me a complete
picture of the market in the area. We are so glad that we decided to
work with you in finding a suitable place for my family.
With your help, we were able to find a suitable place within a
month’s period. We were able to accomplish this in such a short time
mainly due to your vast experience in this business. You used our
time productively by focusing on showing only good properties. I
recall that we asked you to show a couple of other properties.
Certainly, I found that those properties chosen by me were no match
compared to the property you had in mind for my family. We are glad
that finally we followed your suggestions.
When we moved from the East Coast, considering the cost of real
estate in the Bay Area, we were somewhat scared about purchasing a
place in the Bay Area. After I met you, purchasing a place in this
area was one of the smoothest rides. Your discount check after
closing of the escrow also helped me to cover a major portion of our
relocation expenses. I have no doubt that I will contact you for any
of my future real estate transactions.
Thank you for your kindness and warm regards,
Subbu Apparsundaram & Parul Lakhlani

I purchased my current home with Jack
as my agent. I have worked with other agents from well-known real
estate companies in the past and Jack provided comparable services
in every regard. He is always punctual and provided honest
assessment on the properties we visited. As we made the purchasing
offer, Jack was extremely helpful in working out the comparable
value for the house and communicated closely with the selling agent
to ensure my offer would be strongly considered. The best part is
getting back the commission rebate (1% of the purchasing price in
my case) the day after close of escrow. Jack has been extremely
pleasant to work with and I would strongly recommend him to anyone
interested in buying or selling a home in the Bay Area.

Jack was my real estate broker in two
recent real estate transactions. I did a 1031 Exchange, and I found
that his vast knowledge and 25 years experience, made the sale of my
town home in Mill Valley very easy. Jack arranged to have my home
staged before the Brokers’ Tour and of course, it showed very well.
My home sold in two weeks, and Jack handled the entire transaction
while he was in Boston. In today’s market, time is of the essence.
Jack received an offer on my property while he was at the San
Francisco Airport, and completed the real estate transaction via fax
after he arrived in Boston that evening. Jack was available 100% of
the time even while he was on the East Coast.
Jack then assisted me with the purchase of another investment in
Belmont. I only had 90 days to identify another property in my 1031
Exchange. Using his web-site www.hildexpro.com, I received numerous
e-mails each day of all the new real estate listings in the cities
that I selected. I was able to visit different properties even
without his assistance during the Sunday Open House Tours in San
Carlos, Belmont, and San Mateo.
In my second real estate transaction there were 9 multiple offers,
and my offer was accepted. Again, I felt Jack’s vast experience of
the real estate market and his professionalism made me feel very
much as ease in a very competitive market.
I would certainly use Jack Safra as my broker again and would
recommend his real estate services to anyone who wants to purchase a
condo, home, apartment building, or do a 1031 Exchange. Most real
estate agents do not have the vast experience of handling real
estate transactions around the Bay Area. Jack knows the real estate
market very well and is a tremendous resource for those looking to
purchase real estate.

Jack’s experience and knowledge of Bay Area Real Estate, combined
with hard work and a fastidious attention to detail creates results
for his clients. Whether buying/selling a modest abode or luxury
estate, Jack dedicates every effort to make his clients' real estate
experience rewarding in every sense. His commitment to provide
personal service is unmatched.
As we entered serious negotiations for a home, Jack represented us
and saw to it that the property was thoroughly inspected. Throughout
this process, Jack was very sensitive to our desires, provided good
advice, and allowed us to learn from the market by showing us what
was available.
As we enjoy our new home, we have complete peace of mind knowing
that we made what for us was the best possible purchase."

"Jack Safra was a pleasure to work with. It was the responsibility
of my wife and me to generally preview the homes that we were
interested in bidding on but Jack showed a lot of patience; my wife
and I went through the process several times before we finally got a
house that we really wanted!
Given all the information one can gleam from MLSlistings.com, it was
nice to get a "rebate" check from Jack after we closed on our house
this past August 2005." Robert Fong

This is a Thank you email for your follow-up updates on homes prices
in the area and interest rates even after the great help and the 1%
back on our home!. Your service is excellent and you were very
patient and professional thru
our first experience of buying a home.
You stayed with us for close to a year and showed us several
listings. You were available for us day, night, weekdays and
weekends.
You advised us in the areas and pointed issues with home that we
didn't pay attention to. In addition you helped us great deal with
getting the best loan at that time.

I want to express my thanks and gratitude for all of your help in
making my home purchase enjoyable experience. You are so kind to
offer additional loan advise that proved to be of great help to me
too. I surely will recommend you and your agency with highest
regards.

Recently, we decided to change
addresses. On a lark, we decided to speak to a discount broker to
see what “discount” really meant. After an intriguing phone
conversation with Jack, we decided to interview him, but not before
thoroughly questioning 2 excellent real estate agents in order to
compare their knowledge of the real estate market to his. When we
interviewed Jack, we were pleasantly surprised. He obviously knew
the ins and outs of the peninsula market and showed us his plans to
both sell our home and purchase a new one. After viewing multiple
listings, Jack knew what type of home we wanted. He also knew the
essence of timing due to the competitive nature of the peninsula
market. Upon his preview of a recently listed home in Belmont, he
immediately called us to see the property. That night, we toured the
home and were ready to make an offer. We put the offer together in
about an hour and Jack presented it to the sellers that night: we
had our new home!
Several things truly stand out about Jack:
1. His customer service is top notch. He was always available to us
and patiently listened to our needs during the most stressful
situations.
2. He gave us great advice on how to list our home and we received
$50,000 over asking.
3. His service did not end at the end of the deal. We still use his
contracting referrals and value his advice regarding questions we
have about changes we’d like to make in our new home.
4. He truly cares about the relationship, not the transaction and we
thought of him more as a partner, not a broker.
5. And, of course, we saved A LOT of money: $22,000 to be exact.
Alas, the "discount" part of discount broker!
We highly recommend Jack if you are looking to buy and/or sell your
home. We promise you won’t regret it. In fact, feel free to call us
if you'd like. We’d be happy to tell you about our experience.
Sincerely,
David and Stephanie Vinski

"I haven't dealt with a Real Estate
Agent that knew more about property and the bay area marketplace
than Jack Safra. His knowledge and guidance allowed us to buy our
beautiful home for a lot less than we were willing to pay and at
substantially less than the asking price. Jack was a pleasure to
deal with and was always extremely responsive to our needs and
concerns throughout the whole process. We always felt that he had
OUR best interest in mind...not his. An additional bonus for us came
after closing when Jack rebated all but 1% of his commission to us.
We got full service at one third of the price. I have bought and
sold many properties but I can assure you that I wouldn't use anyone
other than Jack for real estate needs. Darren Louttit - Director of
Financial Services "

"We recently sold our home through Jack
and are very pleased with the service and attention to detail that
he accorded to us. He was easy to work with from the initial
interview and got our house ready and listed within a week. We
feel that we benefited greatly from his diligence, experience,
knowledge and honesty. He also helped us to get great
financing for our new home in addition to selling our existing home.
We would recommend Jack to anyone looking for an approachable and
dedicated broker." Sammy and Jessica
