Jose helped my wife and me in the last half year. And we finally get the key for the new house now. We are so exciting for the new life and Jose is the one we appreciate most. He is patient and explain all our questions in details. When there is an issue related to loan or house builder, he is also the most helpful person to contact with. We are so lucky to have Jose as our agent.

My wife and I are both in our late 20's, and were first time buyers, with just a dream of owning a home in the Bay Area. Impossible, right? Jose didn't think so. We explained to Jose what our ideal house and budget would look like. He fully comprehended where we were coming from and where we wanted to ultimately end up. 2 days later, we were pre-approved. 2 weeks later, we looked at 6 houses and bid on 2. 45 days after first talking to Jose - we won a bid, closed, and moved into our very first home of our own. We couldn't have ask for a better negotiator. He worked himself into a good working relationship with the selling agent, thereby gaining their trust and respect as someone they would want to work with in the sell. Throughout the 45 days, Jose regularly caught up with us on our progress, what's left to do, and what to expect. He was SUPER responsive and often times put our schedule ahead of his own. Decades from now when we look back at our first house - it would be impossible to not think of Jose. He was an essential piece of a wonderful experience, and surprisingly not-so-stressful purchase.

There are many words that could describe how well Jose does his job but none truly give justice to the quality of work and service. Jose is detailed, professional, responsive and attentive. He treats you with respect and tries to thoroughly understands your needs. Being a first time home buyer can be a daunting task but Jose made it run smoothly. He was there to guide us through every step with an astounding level of professionalism. I would recommend Jose to anyone purchasing a home but especially to anyone who is a first time home buyer. Jose will truly be there when you need him and is ready to answer every question. Excellent customer service from a one of a kind realtor.

We were fortunate to have Jose Padilla as our realtor. The best part about working with him was that he was always focused in answering our questions and giving us good advices. Jose was very responsive to our needs and was always available no matter what time of the day it was. It was a great pleasure to work with him and will highly recommend him to our friends and relatives.

Jose is a great realtor who I highly recommend! Being a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and concerns about the entire buying experience. Jose is very knowledgable and was able to answer all of my questions, while making sure I was comfortable with each step in the process. He was also very accommodating and worked around my schedule (often times late at night). Jose worked well with all of the parties involved, and he helped make the entire process run smoothly. He was helpful in giving feedback on all of the properties we saw, and went above and beyond my expectations when writing offer letters and contracts, and made sure to always have my best interests in mind. I'm very happy I worked with Jose on buying my first home, and would highly recommend him.

Jose is an amazing realtor. He is very hard working and patient. My first time purchasing a home I didn't know what to expect. Went through an emotional roller coaster with my loan. Jose went above and beyond my expectation as a realtor. He guided me through my loan process (which was not his job). He was always there even after hours to answer any questions I had. Thank you so much Jose. Although it was terrible experience with my bank I'm glad I had you as my realtor to keep me sane through out the whole process.

Jose helped me close a home on the last day they took offers. Which still feels like a dream. First of all, Jose was very responsive in responding to me whenever I had questions about absolutely anything. His communication was key in ensuring the entire process went smoothly, professionally, and seamlessly. These items were also imperative as a first time homebuyer. I had many questions I researched things on my own and Jose was also good at highlighting items that I overlooked, or letting me know things I may have not have known. He did this all while being able to focus on my needs. He is very good in placing a personal touch in catering to you. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in moving forward with any suggestions that he has provided for me. Lastly, Jose went above and beyond in fighting for what I was looking for, he will put in the extra time and effort to obtain the information you need to allow you to feel more confident about a purchase before jumping in. I, without question, highly recommend Jose for as a real estate agent.

I have worked with real estate agents on and off for several years just testing the waters. My wife and I were finally prepared to buy Jose understood my requirements and was willing to work on our terms. He invested a lot of time upfront with us to ensure there were no surprises along the way. Jose was willing to show us what I wanted to see on our schedule. When we found “the one” Jose made sure our offer would be near the top without going over the top. When we won the bid, he went to bat for us and was able to negotiate the price down to exactly what we wanted. Jose is the guy you want on your team!! He is still in touch with us after the sale to ensure everything is taken care of. Thanks for all the help Jose!!

We knew Jose was the right agent for us! Jose exemplifies what customer service truly should be. In addition to being highly professional, knowledgeable and experienced, having great communication skills, being respectful, focused, proactive and hardworking, he takes the time to really understand your situation and makes you feel as if you are his only client. We had a major goal that he was able to help bring to fruition--way ahead of schedule! With the right questions and information he provided, we were motivated to move forward. He guided us from the very beginning and each step of the process and he was able to communicate to our level of understanding quite thoroughly; especially, when we encountered a few hiccups. During these hiccups, we appreciated most was his openness and respect, always giving us scenarios so we knew what to expect and make the right decisions. It was a learning process for us but with his expertise, his ability to remain focused, as well as, his responsiveness (any time/day, even on holiday!), we felt confident things were headed down the right path. He was very hard-working, very proactive and his quick follow-up after each showing was impressive--he always kept us well-informed. It's good to know that he makes sure he stays current in his industry, as well. He introduced us to new technology--Docusign! Having the convenience to obtain signatures online helped speed-up the process and eliminated our worry about coordinating the right date/time/place for us to meet and sign documents. We were also quite grateful that he went the extra mile to help communicate/translate with our tenants throughout the entire process. ~Great job, Jose! We highly recommend you to any of our family or friends! :)

Highly recommend Jose to any home-buyers ESPECIALLY first-time home-buyers. Only after one month of actively looking, Jose was able to get my 2nd offer accepted and made the entire process a breeze! Prior to working with Jose, I had contacted/interviewed several others to be my agent, and none of them seemed to care or give me the attention that Jose did. As a first time home-buyer, it is hard to find a trustworthy agent who would explain everything and go the extra mile, but Jose is extremely detail-oriented and really care about his clients! Working in San Francisco and trying to buy a condo in San Jose was a pain, but Jose was always willing to work around my hours and would respond to my texts/calls anytime of the day. Thank you, Jose for your attention to detail and genuinely caring about your clients! I will never go to another real estate agent in the future.

This review is way overdue! (Sorry Jose) We are hands down for how professional, motivated and extremely patient Jose was while working with us. It got really stressful during the entire home buying process but Jose kept us all collected. One of the best trait of Jose that I'm really impressed was his responsiveness. Even when he was out of town/country he gets back to us right away. I think not all agents would ever call their clients while they are on vacation. Jose made sure we are always updated in the whole process. Jose is very knowledgeable in the business. The process was very fast. We were able to close in less than a month thanks to him. I believe we first spoke to Jose mid November and we closed escrow few days before Christmas. The house is like our early Christmas gift! Jose professionalism is outstanding. Even a few months after we got the house, he tries to keep in contact with us just to check in and see how everything is going. We are very happy with our home and it wouldn't be possible living here if it wasn't for Jose. You are awesome! Thank you!

I would like to thank you Jose Padilla for your dedication to us. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Its a wonderful feeling to be able to walk into your OWN home and as a team we all worked together to make that possible. Thank you again! Dinner was amazing and our special sentimental gift was like the cherry on top! Thanks again!

It is a miracle I closed my home purchase in about 30 days after I met Jose randomly at a open house. In this crazy market, we got this property under the listed price without waiving any contingencies. Jose is very good at helping first time home buyers. He has been very patient in addressing all of my concerns during the home buying process. He has the skill and just enough aggressiveness in getting the clients the home they are looking for without overpaying. Jose patiently helped me understand the nitty-gritty details of the home inspection report, presented various options and made me comfortable about our purchase decision and price. Jose connected me with a nice loan officer to get the loan process smooth and in time for the closing date. Whether you are new to the market or if you have been frustrated with losing your bids, I recommend working with Jose to get on to the winning side. You'll definitely benefit from his strategy, aggressiveness and negotiation skills in this crazy housing market in bay area. Once locked in, you are guaranteed to get excellent service from Jose in all stages of home buying process.

If you need a Real Estate Agent or just have one not meeting your expeditions call Jose. His knowledge and strategy will bring you to ease. When I met Jose I did NOT have a loan approval but knew what I wanted. And 31 days later I'm now homeowner with POSITIVE Equity. He saved me thousands if you don't call Jose you are losing out plan and simple. Be Smart and informed reached out to him today.

Jose helped me by my first home. Jose saw that I loved this home the moment that I walked in and he did everything to make it happen for me. The process went very smoothly. Jose gave me some great negotiating tips to help my offer be accepted. He kept me in the loop all along the way. He really cared about me and my new home purchase. Thanks Jose!

Jose P. is an excellent real estate professional and comes highly recommended. Jose P. is attentive, responsive, strategic, experienced, and results-oriented. He asked the right questions and listened very well in terms of helping us meet our goals with selling the home that we had owned for the last 10 years. He is quick to make professional recommendations but allowed us the flexibility to make collaborative decisions. He has an excellent understanding of the greater market conditions in addition to the local-level to help us drive differentiation and top placement. His choice of the professional photographer was truly first-class. My family, colleagues, and friends, were all very impressed with his top-talent and choice. Jose P. hosted two separate open-house weekends showcasing our property and delivered daily reports to us. He was able to secure multiple offers for our final considerations. As first-time home sellers ourselves, we were very fortunate to have Jose P. as our agent and partner. He was invaluable and a consummate professional. He represented himself and his agency Alain Pinel with high respectability. Jose P. is bilingual in English & Spanish. Last year, he helped my younger brother list and sell their first-property as well. Later on, Jose P. also helped them purchase their desired home in a great school district due to school-age children. This year, he has helped us tremendously. We look forward to working with Jose P. closely on our next home purchase! Here are the amazing timelines Jose P. helped us coordinate: 1) Between initial meeting to having the property listed on MLS and several top-tier websites = 4 1/2 weeks. 2) Two weekends of open-houses. 3) Multiple offers presented to us and professionally evaluated. 4) Close of escrow and deed transferred within 3 1/2 weeks. I trust Jose P. just as I would a very close family-friend. He comes highly recommended and we will continue to work with him in this long-term partnership.

Very helpful, honest, and responsive. Jose helped me through many difficulties parts of my home buying and loan application. It finally get approved just on time. He gave me a lot of useful advice in the processing, helped me to make decisions.

He is relentless in executing the goals you set for him. Prompt, concise, knowledgeable, and highly efficient, he gives 300%. As a first time home buyer, he makes the process painless and exciting. He always stays three steps ahead of where you think you are. An example: with his connections he had the ball rolling on setting up the inspector appointment, something I may of had to do on my own.

Very helpful, honest, and responsive. Best realtor I've worked with in the Bay area in comparison to over 10+ other realtors that have crossed my path. Easy to get a hold of, cares about his job, and does not forget about you. He's followed up with me multiple times when other realtors have never contacted me back after the first call/interaction with them. He has also recommended to me a responsive lender whom works as a team with him and has mentioned multiple times the importance of working as a team in the business. Overall, great integrity.

We interviewed several agents and no one came more prepared than Jose. We had a need for real specific information about the Bart tracks going in next to our home and what the impact would mean to our value. Jose was the only agent that did complete research to give the best information for us to make one of the most important decisions of our lifes. We actually found a home out of the area and he negotiated and got important information that was necessary to move to the home that suits us perfectly.
