Robert Bickel

★★★★★
"Robert helped us last year to sell our beautiful home in Danville and to buy another smaller one in San Ramon. This wasn’t an easy task considering that we were taking a once-in-a-lifetime month-and-a-half vacation. But he did it, regardless. The level of coordination and preparedness that Robert displayed was absolutely on point. He lined up carpet/floor installers, painters, cleaners, stagers, etc. before our trip. The house looked amazing once ready for sale. After the first showing, we received multiple offers, and during the negotiations, he made sure we got the best one of all. All of this, long distance, while we were traveling. It was really nerve-wracking, but having Robert here covering our backs proved to be the best decision ever! Moving forward to the purchase of our new home, Robert showed us around the available homes that responded to the list of specs we gave him and others that, in his judgment, would be suitable for our needs. Again, he lined up a number of great options that led us to our current home, and we couldn’t be happier with our final choice. Everything ran smoothly, and his guidance and assistance during the buying process was above and beyond the norm. He was always professional, punctual, absolutely prepared with the right information and documentation, impeccably dressed, and always helpful and attentive to our inquiries and requests. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody that is planning on buying or selling a home. "- Guadalupe Barba C

"Robert was amazing in his diligence, professionalism, and eagerness to meet all of our needs. His outstanding negotiation skills ensured that both the sale and purchase of our homes were managed impeccably. He went above and beyond by taking extra time to meet our highest standards. While we were traveling, Robert made sure the house for sale was ready for showing and kept us updated on all activities. On the day we reached an agreement on the sale, he followed up with us late into the night until we accepted an offer. When we returned, he had everything arranged and multiple homes lined up for the purchase of our new house. Once again, he demonstrated extreme dedication and successfully secured the perfect home for us, in a beautiful location, despite multiple competitive offers. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use Robert’s services again or to recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Despite the fact that buying or selling a house can be a very stressful experience, Robert made it a pleasurable and rewarding one. "- Dan Cafaro

"The typical story you hear about the home-buying experience is that it’s stressful and confusing. For us, it was the exact opposite, and that was largely due to our realtor, Robert Bickel. This was our first home purchase, so we had a lot of questions and no prior experience to reference. During our house hunting, we worked with two realtors before Robert, and it was immediately clear how superior Robert was compared to others in the industry. Robert answered all our questions promptly and with great detail. He always laid out the facts for us, ultimately allowing us to make our own decisions without ever feeling pressured to go in a particular direction. His recommendations and input made us feel confident, and we still feel confident in all the decisions we made. As we progressed through each step of the process, Robert prepared us for what was to come, giving us the information, we needed without overwhelming us. The entire process—from submitting an offer to closing—was extremely streamlined and easy with Robert and his team. Whatever he could take off our plate and handle, he did! Communication was crystal clear about what needed to be done, and we never once needed to follow up to get an update. If you are looking to partner with someone reliable, knowledgeable about the Bay Area market, and genuinely caring about his clients, choose Robert Bickel! "- Alisha De Luca

"Robert worked with us for many months to sell both of our homes. With his guidance, we completed two renovations, dealt with varying laws, rules, regulations, and challenges in two different counties, and worked with a multitude of contractors, workers, deadlines, and roadblocks — all while commuting back and forth from Nevada to California (hence his nickname for us, 'road warriors'). He kept his cool, stayed friendly and knowledgeable, and put on the 'get it done' hat when necessary. His organization and reliability were spot on, and we would gladly sell another house with Robert. Initially, we considered going another way because a competitor offered a lower commission rate, but we are so glad we went with Robert (you get what you pay for). The staging, marketing, and service were all TOP NOTCH. We sold both houses (in an unpredictable market) super quickly... both at above asking price! "- Julie Duckworth Iljas

"Robert has been amazing and so helpful with any question I bring up to him. From the initial contact up until even 2.5 years after he helped me purchase my first home, he has always been very available and willing to assist when he can. He has also connected me with his contacts for contractors, etc., whenever I needed recommendations for certain projects. I've had nothing but a great experience with him and would recommend him to anyone who needs help with housing. Robert is very honest and trustworthy, and I would use him again to help me with my future endeavors — hopefully for future homes! "- Jen Tang

"Robert has been an amazing agent to work with. He is very proactive and eager to go above and beyond what is asked to get the job done. His years of experience show through his knowledge of the market, as well as being well-versed with almost all other agencies in the area. He is very flexible and willing to work late hours to accommodate his clients' work schedules. Overall, Robert is a very knowledgeable agent, and we had a great home-buying experience!

"It was a pleasure working with Robert Bickel. Mr. Bickel quickly went to work conducting the assessment of the home, developed the strategy for preparing the home for sale, and set a realistic timeline to put the house on the market. Throughout the process, he proved his knowledge and expertise, making his counsel invaluable. He was readily available to address any concerns and offered solutions to the variety of situations that came up throughout the process. In the end, we were able to close at a sales price 20% higher than our initial projection. Robert is a leader in his field, and I would gladly refer him. "- David S. Gonzalez
