Testimonials

There was a couple of things we really liked about the condo we bought in Fremont. The first was the location because we liked the area and schools. Also, it was close to BART. Second, we liked that the condo has a lot of sunlight.

This was not the first house we looked at. I found one condo before which I had also worked with Paymon on - in fact, that's when I engaged Paymon. It was kind of luck that we met, but it also just clicked for us. I felt that everything he said made sense and I was able to understand his language. I didn't feel the need to seek out another agent, because I was happy with Paymon. Even though the bid for this condo didn't go through, it was a learning experience because Paymon was able to explain to me what went wrong so that I could learn from my mistakes. The second time I made a bid, I won the condo.

This was our first time buying a home, so we did not have much experience of how things work. But Paymon and his agent, Corinne, were very transparent, which I appreciated. I was able to be frank with Paymon about what I could afford, what kind of property I wanted, and what my criteria was. I always felt very comfortable speaking to him about my requirements.

Once we decided on a condo, Paymon continued to help me out with the closing process. Corinne recommended a broker who was able to close on the loan in 15 days. Most banks told me it would take a whole lot longer to close. Being able to close faster helped me win the bid.

Paymon also helped me to decide how much I should actually bid for the condo. This is a very complicated market. Sometimes even higher prices don't win you the bid because certain areas are in such high demand. I am no expert on the current market, but Paymon was able to give me a very clear picture of the market. He showed me what a similar apartment sold for 6 months ago and gave me an understanding the current market.

Initially, we had reservations about considering properties listed at a certain amount because we didn't want to go beyond our budget. But Paymon was able to give me some perspective. He explained that if we increased our budget by $10,000 - $15,000 it could get us the apartment we wanted with minimal impact on our down payment or monthly payments. And we would be out of the market. He gave us really good information. Obviously, the end decision was ours, but he groomed us to make that decision.

I would definitely recommend Paymon. His knowledge is impeccable. Before buying a house, most of us think we know the market, but we do not. Paymon is the right person to help with all this stuff. He knows the area in and out, and he knows the market in and out. Particularly, he knows what is needed to win the bid. He's been doing this for the last 20 - 25 years in the area so he's really good.

I wanted a smooth transaction selling my home, so I decided to sell without listing it on the market. Because I was selling off-market, I decided to sell my house as-is without any remodeling. Paymon was perfect for this. He had a lot of experience and knew the local market well.

I've never sold a house before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was worried that I wouldn't have someone who would help me through the process or address my concerns. But Paymon was very responsive. Every time I called, he got back to me right away. He would keep me informed about what the next step was and assisted me with scheduling. He was there to guide me through the process and helped me find common ground with the seller to close the deal. My house sold in a month which is a good timeline since this was a loan buyer.

When it came time to take care of the paperwork, Paymon guided me through anything I didn't understand. I didn't know how to fill out the disclosure, so I called him, and we went through each question over the phone.

I would definitely recommend Paymon. He knows the market, he helps his clients stay on top of things, and is very friendly.

Paymon and his team assisted me in purchasing a home in Castro Valley. I was very happy with his services due to a few reasons. First, his communication was excellent. Anytime there was a new development, he would inform me. If I had any questions, he was almost always available to take my calls or would get back to me quickly.

Secondly, the property that I bought was a short sale. So not only did we have to work with the owner of the property, but we needed to work with the bank. This was done without a lot of the issues that others deal with in short sales. I believe this is because of Paymon's relationship that he had built with the bank.

Thirdly, the knowledge of the market, and of his industry allowed for a very effiecient buying experience. As with any transaction, there were hurdles. But we were able to overcome them and to close in good time.

Overall, my experience working with Paymon and his team was a good one. And I would welcome the chance to work with him on my next property.

In this competitive market (bay area), it's really important to have a strong team (realtor + lender) to buy a home. When it comes to selecting a realtor, then you can not go wrong with Corinne from Paymon Real Estate Group. There are few things which makes her unique and the best as compared to other realtors in the market. Firstly- expertise, I really wanted a realtor who could give me feedback about the property from her years of experience, I did work with few agents who'd just tell me things about the property which is already available online on redfin or trulia, rather I wanted a deeper insight and true info about the property, so that's where Corinne was always there to give me detailed analysis of the property. Secondly- good network/connections, this is very important when it comes to closing a deal in the highly competitive market. Since she has worked for so many years and closed so many deals that agents actually know her so this makes the entire buying process smooth.Thirdly- good understanding of the market, when it comes to buying a home then of course you can overpay and win the bidding war and get the home, but a good deal is where you get your offer accepted out of multiple offers by being barely above than the highest offer, this is where her expertise comes in where she can find the right value of the property based on the market. For instance, at one point I got so desperate to close the deal that I asked her to increase offer but she actually cares about every penny of her clients so she made sure to not over pay, played strategically, and ended up closing the deal. Lastly- patience and caring, as a first time buyer I was having a hard time going through the documents, reports, contracts, but she explained me everything step by step, put her efforts to read all the reports, and summarize it for me, and made things easier for me overall which made me feel confident about the purchase. She also goes out of way for her clients, that even after 1 month of the purchase she helped and advised me on ways how to do small fixes in the house, and helped way more than expected to make sure I am fully satisfied and happily settled in my home. If you are looking for a realtor to purchase a home in the bay area then I highly recommend Corinne!!! (She isn't just confined to one area like other realtors, she knows in and out about all the markets- Peninsula, South Bay, Fremont, Hayward, Dublin, and surrounding areas.) Thank you Corinne!!!
