Testimonials

Kirsten Bramstedt
My husband, Adrian, and I recently purchased our first home in Oakland with the invaluable help from our real estate agent, Hamid Grinage. We highly recommend Hamid. Being first time home buyers we came into the process very green and with a lot of questions. Hamid was very patient with us, answered all our questions clearly and guided us through the process expertly. His easy going and down to earth nature make him a pleasure to work with and make the complicated house buying process much easier! Hamid is a true Oaklander and a dedicated, professional real estate agent.

Hamid was referred to us by our Mortgage Broker, we did not know anything about him but decided to take a chance. This was strange considering we were making the largest purchase of our life, but I'm glad we took the chance because he made the home buying experience extremely easy. Two things that were important to us were honesty and integrity, both of which Hamid has. Hamid was constantly communicating and addressed all of our questions. We were competing with 3 other offers but with his quick responses and guidance, our offer was accepted. We would highly recommend Hamid!

If I had to describe Hamid with one word, I would use "tenacious." My home buying experience, which began in the spring of 2007, was unusual. The home is part of a new development in Oakland, built by a small local developer organization. The process was fraught with problems: The developer's Realtor was uncooperative, there were numerous mortgage problems, as the credit crunch worsened. There were multiple liens against the developer and one of the developer partners had a lawsuit against the other. Through it all, Hamid stayed pragmatic, yet supportive. He did not give up or give in, and finally because of Hamid we closed escrow on that townhouse just in time for Christmas 2007-at a much lower price than anticipated, thanks to Hamid's negotiation skills.
