Clocktower Realty

I can’t say enough about Ken Jacobs of Clocktower Realty. I was a first time homebuyer when I began my search in early February, 2012… a few weeks in we realized how challenging the market had become due to lack of inventory in the area of the East Bay we were interested in. But, week after week Ken remained positive that my boyfriend and I would find what we were looking for. He was always on time for our meetings, was very candid in answering questions, responsive to emails and phone calls — and not at all stuffy or pretentious. We never felt awkward or uncomfortable.
We ran into a few situations where our bid didn’t win (some cases where we were one of 10 bids!), but Ken gave thoughtful and practical advice in each situation and I never felt like I was bidding out of my comfort zone, or going for a house that wasn’t right for me.
Five or so months later, our diligence paid off and we found the absolutely perfect house for us. We weren’t confident that we’d get it for the price we offered, but Ken encouraged us and gave great consultation on offer strategy. As a result I am now the owner of a beautiful home in Martinez that I got for a price I can afford — I would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the area.
Thanks for everything Ken!
