"When it came time to sell our families childhood home to help support our mother I am so glad we chose Louis Heystek as our Realtor. Louis is an extremely good Realtor. Louis knows the real estate business and knows how to listen to his clients to help them attain their dream, or in our case goal. In addition to his keen business ability he is also a smart, kind, warm person. Louis gave us excellent advice on how to get the house ready to sell and helped us through any situation that arose with professionalism and calmness. I never worried about anything because Louis always had a suggestion or two to keep things moving. I highly recommend Louis Heystek.."

"Working with Louis was a dream. We were immediately impressed by his integrity, expertise, and professionalism, all of which was evident throughout the entire process. As first-time home buyers, he taught us what we needed to know so that we could make educated and smart decisions. He went above and beyond as our advocate throughout the buying process and what started as a professional reference became a trusted partnership. He truly cares about his clients and takes the time to understand their needs. He's knowledgeable, insightful, resourceful, technical, dedicated, and hard working. Louis will be the first Realtor we call in the future."

★★★★★
"Louis is an excellent realtor to work with. He has a great eye for houses and constantly sent us new listings (on and off market) to review. As first-time home buyers, Louis held our hand through every step of the way. He's an excellent communicator and taught us everything we needed to know about purchasing a house. It's easy to tell that Louis is always on your side and he's always willing to fight for your benefit. He's not only friendly but experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. We can't imagine working with any other realtor in the Bay Area!"

★★★★★
"Louis did an excellent job selling our house. He guided us through the process and made it extremely easy towards a successful sale in a most difficult interest market. Louis is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Bay Area. Louis has represented us in the sale of two homes in the few years. We are so very lucky to include Louis as our friend and realtor."

★★★★★
"Louis did a great job of supporting our family through the complex process of selling a house. He was patient, thoughtful and flexible as our needs changed. Even after selling the house, he checked in on us to see how we were doing. Our family greatly appreciated his knowledge and professionalism while working with us.!"

★★★★★
"Louis did an amazing job of helping me get into my dream neighborhood, working with me as a first time homebuyer on understanding my options within budget, identifying strategies for target properties, and negotiating for a successful purchase even faster than I could have hoped. His help didn’t stop there; and he patiently answered all my questions, and was a reassuring guide through the closing process. He came strongly recommended by friends, and he was truly as trustworthy, ethical and responsive as I could have hoped. I would be happy to recommend him to others!"

★★★★★
"Louis did amazing work helping us snag our first home in the Bay Area! He took the time to get to know our needs and guided us thoughtfully through every step of the process. He clearly has a great eye and knowledge of the market as he was right on the money in several listings for what they would actually sell for. For the particular house we ended up loving, he helped us just beat out another competitive offer. He is a great communicator and just a great person who will go above and beyond to keep his clients happy. Thanks, Louis!"

★★★★★
"Louis was outstanding. I had a complicated transaction to complete: sell my house in the Sacramento-region contingent on buying a home in the Bay Area, and I was concerned I wouldn't be able to win the bid in the East Bay with my budget constraints and ideal neighborhood. Louis was patient and toured homes with me throughout a 4-month period, always communicating the likelihood of an offer acceptance based on current market conditions. And lo and behold, I DID get into escrow in a very cute neighborhood with Louis's help and local connections. Louis was a fantastic communicator and negotiator. He was so on top of all the details that I felt I was in very good hands. And when I did worry, Louis listened and encouraged me to keep going. And in the end, I'm 100% satisfied with the deal and happy with my home. And next time I want to buy or sell a home, I'm going straight to Louis. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone buying a home in the Bay Area."

★★★★★
"Louis was wonderful throughout the sale of our home. From suggesting improvements before the house went on the market, to navigating changes in interest rates and challenging market conditions, he was highly motivated to make sure our house sold and had our best interests at heart. Louis was always responsive to communication and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!"

★★★★★
"My mom is now settling into her new home, just a stone's throw away from myself and her grandchildren. The entire process, thanks to Louis, was not only successful but also surprisingly enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, efficient, and personable real estate professional. He is truly a joy to work with.."

★★★★★
"When it came to negotiations, Louis truly exceeded expectations. During our inspection phase, Louis showcased his expertise by not only identifying potential issues but skillfully negotiating our offer price down far beyond what any of us thought was possible. It was a testament to their dedication to getting the best deal for us."

★★★★★
"Louis was not only able to find one home on the same block as my children and I, but two! This unique property with two homes brought in the possibility of bringing my grandmother to live close to us as well, making that three generations on the same block. Beyond finding us the property of our dreams, Louis was also able to connect us with trusted colleagues at every turn. He recommended an excellent loan officer and insurance provider, making the whole experience much smoother than anticipated."

★★★★★
"Working with Louis to find a home for my mother was an absolute delight. From the get-go, his experience and knowledge shone through as he guided us seamlessly through each step of the home-buying process."

★★★★★
"Being a first time homebuyer, Louis expertise has been invaluable. I was in a unique situation, purchasing my first home with a family member who doesn't live in the bay, and can sometimes be difficult... But Louis took everything in stride. He was so open and honest about the process and our needs. He was intentional about showing us places that would work, and gave thoughtful and supportive advice. I am so grateful to him and all that he does, because we have finally moved into our home! If you are looking for a great team player who is rooting for you, please be sure to get in contact with Louis, you will not regret it!"

★★★★★
"Louis helped our family navigate our homebuying experience, and we couldn't recommend him more. As we started our search, Louis remained in contact with us and provided sound advice as we waded through the complex process of loan prequalification, home inspections and closing escrow. He provided constant communication, responsiveness and professionalism -- all the things you look and hope for in a Realtor. I look forward to working with Louis again when it comes time for our next purchase."

★★★★★
"Wow! Our experience with Louis was amazing and a very welcome change from our previous experience selling. The detailed and patient explanations about the entire process, the support around the sale price, the referrals for painters and contractors and then the staging were all so helpful that we can't even imagine going through another home sale without Louis and his expertise! We are forever grateful."

★★★★★
"My wife and I had the pleasure to work with Louis. We both love his uplifting personality, excellent work ethic, and his diligence. Louis was very proactive. He stayed on top of all of the issues that we had and was able to close our escrow earlier than scheduled. Not to mention he was able to help negotiate and lower the purchased price by $20,000. Thank you Louis!"

★★★★★
"We just completed our third property sale with Louis. Each property was a different situation that required a tailored sales approach. Louis is thorough and knowledgeable. I like that he communicates often with all parties involved with the sale to ensure a smooth and timely close."
