“Escrow closed today, and I now own the property at 1st Street instead of 5th Street. It has been very important to me to make this purchase. And, you were extremely helpful. In fact, is is likely that I couldn’t have made the purchases except for the work you did by bringing the buyers of 5th Street to Mac.”

“Jerry is a rarity in the crowded South Bay realtor market. He has been selling houses 30-40 years, and knows everyone and everything about the market. He feels when it is hot, when it is cooling, and knows how to negotiate and get the right price. He in fact a realtor's realtor -- a behind-the -scenes expert for other realtors in the area who all come to him to help determine the value of homes they are going to list, particularly Walk Street and Strand homes. Beyond his unparalleled knowledge of the market, Jerry is just a great guy - honest, straight-shooting, hard-working. Best realtor I have ever worked with hands down.”
