We purchased our home in September 2011 having moved to Danville from out of state. We were extremely fortunate to find Taso for a Realtor® through a referral from a friend. Having purchased 8 homes in our lifetime, we can unequivocally say that he is the best Realtor® we've ever dealt with. He is thorough, creative, and diligent to the task. Patience is truly a virtue with Taso, I remember telling my wife that I was embarrassed because we looked at 35 homes over 4 days from Orinda through the 680 corridors. After putting him through the torture, he helped us find our home. He was well aware of our dilemma in trying to find a comparable and affordable home compared to what we sold in Oregon. After consummating the transaction we then decided to remodel, Taso took the time to personally introduce us to contractors and even helped us negotiate favorable pricing. He went so far as to take us to showrooms to view granite and stone and lined us up with carpet remember we were from out of state so needless to say all this help was appreciated. It's probably fair to say that Taso seems to know everyone in town. With a great deal of pleasure we refer Taso to you, you will not go wrong.

First off, I'd like to say thank you to Taso Tsakos, for the outstanding job selling our home. Taso’s expertise and knowledge of the local housing market were invaluable in the listing, marketing and eventually selling of my home during a slow market as well as the most difficult time of the year, the holidays. In addition to the tremendous job Taso performed with the conventional responsibilities of a real estate agent, he also guided our remodeling team (including the contractor) to complete the job they had yet to deliver. After being brought into the process after others had unsuccessfully fulfilled promises and just when everything started to look hopeless, Taso stepped in. Using his years of experience and contacts to get the job done without any further delays, Taso’s proficiency saved us thousands in material and labor costs. Once renovations were completed, he was able to negotiate and close the deal with our home buyer in 15 days, which is unheard of, especially considering the state of the housing market at that time. Taso was a godsend and a privilege to work with. If anyone is looking to sell their home successfully, Taso is the Realtor® you want. A godsend.

My wife and I reached out to Taso, soliciting his expertise as we sought a new home for our family. We lived in San Jose and were convinced that Danville or Alamo offered the best future for our family. We were very clear about our criteria and his advisement made the process fun, instructive, and time effective. Although he worked tirelessly for us for over 1 year, we only got serious on 3 or 4 deals meeting our criteria which is how the process should work. Taso did not bomb us with listings hoping that we would compromise on our wish list. He knew when to tell us to walk away and when to run at an opportunity when your emotions could well steer you down a perilous path. His business intellect came in handy once we decided to write an offer on a listing. Taso is still delivering value even after the home is closed. He placed us in contact with various contractors who share the same passion for doing things the right way. Taso is a real estate professional who places the client's interests before his own. We truly feel like he is a friend for life.

Taso Tsakos is amazing as our Realtor®. I wanted to buy a rental property and had looked with 3 other Realtors® over the past 4 years. What they showed me just did not make sense with what I was looking for. When I asked for Taso's help he spent several days researching appropriate choices, and took to a few that were good, but not just right. What Taso then did is he listened to what I was asking for, asked me questions, and came up with a second set that he showed me. I liked everyone. He matched the choices to my unique desires with uncanny ability. He then made the process seamless, negotiated a great price, better than I expected, and helped set me up for the loan. The deal closed without any effort. He even found me a renter and set me up with excellent references if I needed things done on the house. I couldn't be more pleased. Let him help you. I have bought and sold real estate for 30 years and I have never before found anyone as helpful and knowledgeable as he is.

Taso was referred to us by a friend when I purchased a home 8 years ago. He did an exceptional job at finding exactly everything on our wish list. We then utilized him again 2 years ago with the same overwhelming satisfaction. He is an extremely honest, professional, and educator Realtor®. He knows real estate far better than most Realtors® I have worked with over the years and he is excellent at explaining the pros and cons of any situation without bias. He helped the entire process move very smoothly and has commendable patience. He also was excellent at recommending contractors to help with remodeling, all of which were also exceptional.

Taso is hands down the best I have worked with. He is everything you could possibly want and more. He handled everything from getting our existing home ready to sell (provided contractors, staging advice and execution, signage, marketing, etc). The contractors he recommended were extremely reasonable, very professional, and punctual. He also helped us in finding and selecting a new home. He was honest with his advice of “we can do better”. He was patient with the lack of inventory and reacted immediately when something came up. Often times he would show a house within an hour's notice. When we finally found the right house, he scheduled all appraisals, termite inspections, home inspections, roof inspections, etc. He proactively sent me a schedule just in case I wanted to be present. I would highly recommend him and his team.

Taso represented us on the recent purchase of a condo in San Ramon, CA. The competition to purchase the unit was high and multiple offers were exected. Taso's knowledge of the market and ability to define it quickly gave us the confidence to agree to an offer more quickly than the competition and secure the winning bid. Our bid was not the highest, but by Taso understanding the Seller's needs he was able to structure it so that it was the most desirable. We would definitely not have been able to purchase this property without his involvement and expertise. We have worked with a number of Realtors® in the past and Taso's professionalism and business savvy are far superior to others with whom we have worked. We will not make a move in the future without his counsel.

My husband and I were very anxious about the sale of our property. The first offer fell through, close to closing. Mr.Tsakos had two more interested parties lined up. He was very helpful in getting us the very best deal. He makes sure everything is done just right and in a timely manner. He has a way of making you feeling as if you are his only client. His knowledge and expertise exceeds all expectations. Taso makes the whole property selling process as simple as possible. We will always feel comfortable recommending his services to friends and family.
