From day one, Emanuel got us on track with what buyers wanted in this market and what we needed to do to get our home into its best showing condition. He had a pool of vendors that we used to get our improvements done, quick and easy. His trained eye and experience in the industry got our home ready for sale. He got our home sold for a price that set the bar in our neighborhood. Thanks Manoli, it couldn't have happened without you.

 

 

Manoli was fantastic. He negotiated a great deal and we never once felt pressured. He was easy to work with and went out of his way to get the paperwork to my office when I couldn't make it to sign. He made this deal happen and we will give his name to anyone who wants a professional real estate agent.

 

 

When looking for a real estate agent we wanted someone who had extensive knowledge of the Walnut Creek area with fixer upper expertise. We were paired up with Emanuel Sakkis from Dudum Real Estate. Emanual started the process by touring us through the various neighborhoods and giving us an idea of which ones were a good fit for our personality. His vision for improvements and general knowledge of repair costs were right-on. He also has an eye for red-flags; in terms of major faults in a property, a talent we found extremely helpful. Our closing process was complicated due to the condition of the home and repairs needed in escrow but in the end, Emanuel worked magic for us and pushed it through to close. After purchasing our forever home, we decided to give Emanuel the exclusive on our condo. Our Iron Horse Loft property presented several challenges: it was unique to the area, was large in square footage but only had one bedroom and it faced Bart. Finding a comp for these units is near impossible (especially without recent sales) but Emanuel did extensive research to get us in the right range for a quick sale. Adding to his challenge, condo sales started to slump in July (as we went on the market) but he was able to get it sold for us and I'm happy to say that it's the highest sale price in the complex in recent years. Unlike our buying experience, the closing process on our loft was quick and easy; we even closed early! Overall, I would recommend Emanuel on either the buying or selling end. His talents are multifaceted and his pool of resources is expansive; we've used his contractors, electricians and specialists for our new home and they've all been excellent. While we don't plan on moving for years to come, we highly recommend Emanuel to anyone who's looking for a great agent.
