One of the factors that we looked for when picking an agent was knowledge. We used a VA home loan and wanted to ensure the agent we selected was very familiar with the process. Simon did not disappoint.

I really appreciated that Simon was very responsive and easy to reach. His online platform is also easy to navigate.

During open houses, Simon would point out things in the home or area that we overlooked. For example: type of roofing, fencing, water heaters, AC units, leaks, etc. All these things can cost a lot of money and time. When you’re browsing for houses you sometimes get caught up on how beautiful the house looks, and can overlook at how much actual work the house needs underneath the freshly painted walls and carpets. So to have someone point out all these factors was a big help.

Overall he is knowledgeable, thorough, and gets things done. I would recommend him!

Simon Watson was a rock star from start to finish! My wife and I were first time home buyers and as those who have been there before know it can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming. Simon was there to answer any questions we had even before we started looking for houses. This allowed us to make smart and informed decisions when it came time to buy.

As soon as we were ready to move forward he was on the ball helping us at all stages of the process from home viewing, home inspections, and closing ESCROW. He even hand delivered the keys once all was set and done. I would highly recommend Simon Watson as he is trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable.

Thanks Simon for your help with our first time home buying experience!

Simon was instrumental in changing our lives. We found a wonderful home with minimal stress during a challenging time in the market. He was friendly and positive from our first call, and throughout the entire process, made us believe a new home was possible. He genuinely listened to us and opened our eyes to all possibilities. He set up a webpage where we could collaborate as a a team and clearly had our best interests in mind.

We ended up buying a home different from what we planned in an area we didn’t initially have in mind. It was all our decision, but Simon helped broaden our horizons. He made it clear his priority was our happiness and his patience and willingness to continue showing us homes for the rest of the year was indicative of this. He is beyond knowledgeable and provides helpful observations that are not otherwise thought of. The business transaction was seamless. Simon developed a good relationship with the sellers’ realtor, drew up a contract with multiple contingencies to protect us and was on site for all inspections. He stayed in constant contact, slowly walked us through the escrow process and made sure we were fully aware of everything. The best part is we know we can contact him for anything, even after the purchase.

We could go on and on, but believe the fact that we miss spending our weekends with Simon says it all! We had a lot of fun together and look forward to showing him what we’ve done with our home. We can’t recommend him enough and can confidently say he goes above and beyond for his clients. Simon will remain a special person in our lives.

Simon was great. I am a new home owner and he helped walk me through the process step by step answering multiple questions. I would highly recommend Simon. He was responsive as well as extremely patient with me.

Simon has been our realtor for years. He helped us buy our first and second home. He's reliable, responsive, honest and works with outmost integrity. He pays attention to detail and has never steered us wrong.

His contracts are airtight and he has always researched and was able to answer all of our questions. He's patient and transparent. We are grateful to have partnered with him over the years, and will do so again in the future.

Simon is absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I are new homeowners with our dream house, and Simon made it possible.

We were very particular with our requirements for a house, and it took us nearly a year to find the perfect property. Simon was extremely patient during the entire process, and guided us through each step with a caring hand. He was supportive from the very beginning of our search to the closing of our home, and he never made us feel rushed. Simon genuinely wanted us to find the perfect property and it showed in his actions.

He gave us his honest opinion when we walked through homes, responded within hours of any of our inquiries, drove many miles to accommodate us, and made the closing process a complete breeze.

If you are looking for the perfect realtor, look no further. Simon won't disappoint. He is truly a class act- 5 stars across the board.

Simon was very patient and understanding,he did not waste time showing us homes
That did not fit our needs. Thank you

I was initially working with a different agent on a specific lot that I had found in Walnut Creek, lots well priced go out quickly and so I was getting nervous that no progress has been made after a week.

I called Simon on a Sunday and was able to talk to him, he called back less than an hour later, after having himself talked to the selling agent. That first hour told me everything I needed to know about Simon, and I was not disappointed after that. He provided great advice, knowledge, and dedication.

He was regularly in touch during the buying process to make sure that everything was all right and progressing properly. He was phenomenal and I highly recommend working with him.

Having Simon as my realtor was a wonderfully positive experience. He was my advocate and trusted negotiator. Simon expertly directed me throughout the process of inspections, what to expect with the loan process, planning and timing of the walk-throughs and what to anticipate once the closing time arrived. Not to mention, he listened closely to what I wanted in a home and he found my family a beautiful home that met all of our needs!

Simon just sold our home in Concord. He is very knowledgable and through making the experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend him and if I'm looking to buy in the area I would definitely work with him again if we move back here.

We worked with Simon years ago for our home purchase, and when it came time to sell that place we immediately reached out to Simon again. We couldn't be happier with our experience. He was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and so fun to work with even in a crazy market.

We were impressed with his market knowledge, professionalism and amazing attention to detail. We followed his advice to gets inspections done before the sale which helped to get the house ready. We recommend Simon to anyone wanting to sell or buy a house. He is a gem!

He was extremely patient with me during the preparation and selling process. He is forthright about potential courses of action but is keen to make sure we end up with the results which I am looking for. While I was on the opposite coast of the US he was fantastic at taking care of everything on the ground.

I could not be more pleased with his services. I highly recommend Simon to anyone looking to sell a house. My next house in CA will be bought with the help of his services. Thanks Simon!

Simon was so incredibly helpful to my husband and I in our search for our very first home. He was very responsive to my many questions, and always made me feel like a priority. Simon helped me to explore different cities along our search, as I tried to decide where I wanted to live. He did not make me feel bad about driving around to different places, and assured me that he would continue to go wherever it took to find us the home we wanted. When making offers, he was very honest while giving us really helpful advice. We ended up closing on a house we love so much in Concord. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking, and reliable realtor.

Simon assisted my wife and I during our military move from San Diego to the Bay Area. He was accommodating throughout the process and scheduled a bunch of viewings so we could make the most of our time when we drove up!

My girlfriend and I were looking to purchase our first home together and we are grateful that we chose Simon to guide us through our journey. Simon is very knowledgeable about the Bay area and we valued his opinion because he would provide us with honest perspectives, both positive and negative, for each property. Since we are both working professionals, finding time to meet for showings during the day was difficult, but Simon would always accommodate our schedules and made time to show us properties after work or on the weekend. Simon was also quick to respond to our emails/texts and we would often be able to see properties the same day they were listed. He was also great communicating with our loan officer and mediating between us and the selling agents. He took the time to teach us about the home buying process and was patient advising us each step of the way. We would highly recommend Simon to our friends, family, and anyone looking to buy their next home and we look forward to working with him in the future to buy our second home!

We both bought and sold our townhouse in Walnut Creek using Simon. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He knows the area and the market well. He tells it to you straight which is crucial when negotiating the crazy Bay Area real estate market. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Simon helped us purchase our home in Danville. The housing market had gone crazy because of COVID, prices were rising, and the market was unpredictable. Open houses weren't happening, and Simon had to personally show us about a dozen different houses we wanted to see. Not one complaint from him, he was always early to the showings, and kept us realistic in our expectations with the houses we saw and bid on. He responded quickly to messages, and was always available by phone for consults. Utilizing his former experience as a building inspector, he gave us valuable opinions whenever we viewed a home. He helped us get the scoop on houses we liked, and when it was time to bid on a home, helped us navigate all the nuances of real estate paperwork and procedure.
He's got a good sense of humor in that he tolerated ours. We'd definitely go back to Simon if we ever decided to buy another house.

All realtors are the same? Lots of fake fancy talk and selfishness? err wrong, not this realtor. Simon is a no nonsense straight shooter that works hard and gets you results. Simon helped my wife and I navigate a extremely tough buyers market which included numerous showings and offers. Once the perfect house came along, Simon was able to help us win an offer on a house in San Ramon beating out 13 other offers. We were so appreciative that we chose the right realtor and felt like it was all meant to be. We aren't vets but Simon also does a great job taking care of vets with VA loans which speaks well of his character. Give Simon a call you'll be glad you did.

My wife and i were relatively new to the area when we began looking to purchase a home, and needed someone to guide us through the process. We had dealt with several other realtors in the area, and found them to be very negative and unhelpful. when we began working with Simon we were much happier,

He is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to point out all of the positive and negative aspects of each home. we were using a VA loan, and we soon discovered that Simon and his partner David were the most experienced for this type of loan, and made the entire process extremely easy. We are very glad that we found Simon, and would recommend him to any type of home buyer in a second.

If you are looking for an awesome, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive realtor look no further than Simon. my fiancé and i had the pleasure of working with Simon on our first home purchase and he made the whole experience comfortable, enjoyable, and most importantly less scary than we thought it would be. as soon as he got our contact information from our lender he gave me a call and we talked for about an hour about our new home wants and needs and he explained the whole process on what to expect. a day or two after that we were looking at homes.

What amazed me the most was his attention to detail and his honest opinions on the properties we looked at. I definitely felt he had our best interest at heart on everything. once it got time to place offers he's explained everything to a tee and answered my millions of questions. he even reviewed every document that we were to review and made sure to point out important things to make sure we understood and didn't miss anything. We will get the keys to our new home today and i'm sad that we will no longer hear from Simon on a regular basis. I am definitely going to refer everyone i know to him and will call him up when we are ready to upgrade. you will not be sorry picking Simon as your realtor!

As first-time homebuyers, we met with multiple realtors in the area. Simon and David of Keller Williams Realty were the ones we felt were most knowledgeable and put us at ease, both about the neighborhoods in Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill and the home-buying process overall.

We worked primarily with Simon. He was really accommodating with our schedules (coming from San Francisco), taking us around to look at houses, helping point out things we otherwise might not have noticed or thought about since it's so easy to be distracted by the staged furniture and how the home looks.

When it was time for us to put in offers and go through all the paperwork, Simon was there to help us answer any questions we had. Simon kept us updated throughout the process as well, once our offer had been submitted.

Unfortunately, we went through this process more than once. Fortunately, that meant we became pretty well versed with it. Once we did have an offer that was accepted, we were in unfamiliar territory again but Simon was there to help us through it all - the inspections, the negotiations, working with the loan and title folks, everything up through having keys in hand to our new home!

I just bought my first home and couldn't be happier with the help I received from Simon Watson.A town home was perfect for first time buyers in terms of price He was very responsible person and answering any questions I had at any time, weekday or weekends. He was so helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing a home, he made sure every detail was handled and everything we needed explained. As a buyer he's not pushing you to buy but rather helping you to find your ideal home. I highly recommended him,

Thanks for everything

Simon IS as good as it gets...period. I know this sounds cliche, but it's true! My wife and I were looking for our first home and we went to an open house that Simon was showing. He took the time to show us around and asked if we had an agent yet and we didn't. He gave us one of his cards and we left. As soon as we got in the car my wife said "I really like Simon, we should consider him for our agent".

We had several referrals from friends and family, but there was something about him that we both liked. He was forthcoming with pertinent information, knowledgeable, and very affable. We contacted him and he began to send us listings immediately. We called and requested to look at one house. We told him that was perfect for us, he met us in his office on a Sunday to prepare an offer. He spent the better part of an hour going through the process of making an offer, reviewing page after page and explaining to us everything!

As first time home buyers, we were relieved that Simon took the time to review and explain things. We knew we had made the right choice. Oh, the offer was accepted and we close 10/16! Simon has been there every step of the way.

Inspections, lending requirements, closing documents signatures, final walk through, he was there. Whether your looking for your first home or a seasoned home buyer, do yourself a favor and give Simon a call, you won't be sorry. There's a reason he has a 5 star review. I'm just sayin...

My husband and I have been looking for a home in the Bay Area with a VA loan for the past few months, and we just found the perfect home with Simon's help! Simon is extremely knowledgeable about all the hoops we had to jump through in order to buy a home with a VA loan, and he walked us through every step. Even though the market was frustrating during this time, Simon always gave us hope and clearly cared about us finding the right home. His honesty and persistency were definitely qualities that we appreciated having in a realtor. Ultimately, words cannot express our gratitude towards Simon and his dedication to go above and beyond for us. Thanks a thousand times, Simon!

Simon was the best! He was thorough and professional and great to work with. He worked quickly in this tough real estate market. Made appointments and showed me available properties as soon as a new one came on the market. He was honest and forthright- no games. Great recommendation from a friend.
