The Reviews Are In….
August 2014
I have been in the real estate business for over 35 years. I was both an agent
and for awhile a trainer form my company. I really can not remember ever
writing a recommendation for anyone before even though I usually did not
represent myself when buying or selling. I felt Joe Cuttone deserved one
however after representing me on the sale and purchase of three properties in
the past 6 years. One of the hardest parts of the real estate process is
staying level when you have a client that is in somewhat of an emotional state
and guiding them - always keeping their best interests at heart. After losing
my husband suddenly I need to make a change within a year and buy something
close by. He helped me do both and kept me on course. He helped me stage -
focusing on what I needed to get the best return on any money I spent and got
me top dollar. Recently I decided to move again (this time out of area) and
went back to Joe. He helped me again both in staging and positioning myself
properly in the market. I got not only the best price but the best terms. They
say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and in my case it certainly can be.
I know too much about the business and I have always been very exacting in real
estate transactions and expected no less from anyone that represented me. Joe
Cuttone met all my expectations. Hire him and watch the magic.

Selling and buying a house is
a significant and stressful event in life.
It impacts a person both financially
and emotionally. Finding an agent who can take care of both these needs is rare.
Joe Cuttone is one of those rare individuals. Mary and I were fortunate to find
and engage Joe when we decided to sell and buy a new home for us in San Ramon
that would meet our new requirements.
This is the 7th house we have bought
in a 30 year time span. Mary and I can categorically say that we have not met
an agent as knowledgable, professional, and competent as Joe. The best
testimony we can provide is that if we ever decide to sell or buy a new home,
we will hire Joe Cuttone.

It
is our pleasure and gratitude to share comments on our experience with Joe
Cuttone as a real estate agent in the listing and sale of our home at the
Bridges in San Ramon, as well as in buying our new home. While we have bought
and sold a number of houses both on the East and West cost, we could not even
imagine such a level of expertise, loyalty and working ethics.
The
experience at each phase of our home sale was superior including Joe’s initial
presentation, during which he had explained his strategy for our home sale,
current local real estate market situation, suggested the listing price and the
price for which the house is likely to be sold (and he was right on the
target!). He also presented detailed time line for the sale of our house.
After
we signed the contract there was no stage of the time line he proposed that was
delayed and there was no promise that Joe did not keep. He did not just provide
useful insights on pre-listing renovations or staging, he used his contacts and
personally scheduled all repairs and work that needed to be done while making
sure that we agree with all repairs and estimates for those repairs. He
did an absolutely beautiful job on staging our home, conducted effective
showings and proactive facilitation during the sale negotiations and due
diligence. All of these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were
accomplished with impressive competence, intelligence, humility, integrity and
grace.
The
house successfully sold and in the current market (certainly a seller’s , not a
buyer’s market) one would not expect such top real estate agent to provide much
help with buying the house. Joe did that and not only that, he was proactive in
searching for our new house and he saved us a lot of time because he always understands
what his clients need are and because he knows the San Ramon- Danville –
Pleasanton area so well that by seeing the property address he was able to say:
“no, I do not think it is your neighborhood” or “I do not think you will feel
right in this house” We quickly learned that he was always right.
We
can whole heartedly recommend Joe for all your real estate needs. As for us, we
know that our kids and friends are likely to buy or sell their houses with Joe.

Joe handled every detail of our
transaction with the utmost professionalism. Joe went above and beyond
what we had ever experienced in prior home sales. One way Joe
differentiated himself from other agents was his ability to make our home stand
out. His staging skills and knowledge really showcased our home. His
experience and passion for his work shines through.

Joe
Cuttone made my home buying and selling experience a pleasure. Joe’s
attention to detail, market knowledge, staging and assistance with required
inspections and the sale price negotiation were invaluable. I highly
recommend Joe.

We had the pleasure to work with Joe
twice in the past four years. Joe represented the sellers when we bought
our home in 2009. We were so impressed with Joe that we asked him to
represent us this year during our home sale. Joe’s attention to detail,
knowledge of the current housing market and market strategy were all
exceptional. Thanks Joe!!

Joe was a terrific realtor. He
cares about meeting all of your expectations in the sale of your home. He
works hard for you, takes full ownership and is very trustworthy. Joe was
always there with the right advice during the process of selling my home.
Joe is the only person you want when you want to sell your home.

Joe,
You made a very stressful situation
which I was not happy about, fun.I was impressed with your professionalism and
attention to detail during each of the three phases: 1)Preparation – absolutely
excellent and cost effective; 2) Presentation – you turned it into a model
home; and 3) Price – your estimate sales price was just about spot on.And your
professionalism and dedication did not waiver during the phase when we decided
to rent it out, but ultimately you brought a buyer and sold our home.

Dear Joe:
We truly feel fortunate to have had
you for both home transactions; selling our last home and helping us buy a new
home.Our home on Watercress in the Bridges was so seamless and we appreciate
your time and creativity staging it yourself.As for our current home, we
probably wouldn't’t have found it as quickly if it wasn’t for you being
proactive in contacting the seller before it actually hit the market &
convinced them to accept our offer. You always have had our best interests at
heart throughout the process and we just want you to know how much we
appreciate everything.

Joe,
Al and I want to thank you for your
superb efforts in helping us sell our Blackhawk home during a very difficult
economic climate. You know and understand the market and what it takes to
get a home sold. You truly put attention to every detail. From the
initial market analysis to well after the closing, every stage in the process
was carefully taken care of to a smooth and successful sale. You made
sure NOTHING fell through the cracks from staging, repairs and updates, pricing
to sell negotiations for a “fair price”, to closing out escrow!!!
You executed flawlessly when we
purchased our Blackhawk home in 2005 with you as our Buyers Realtor agent, so
we knew we could trust your judgment and same level of service when it came
time to sell our home 4 years later.
With Al in San Diego while we worked
on selling the home, you were an invaluable help in working with all the
contractors to get the updates and staging completed on a short timeline and
that a standard of excellence was met.
Thank you again! Should
anyone want to speak with a repeat client, we would be happy to share our
experience with anyone considering your services. We definitely recommend
you as both a quality Buying and Selling agent.
Best Regards,

Joe,
If anyone is looking for a realtor
recommendation; I just wanted to add Joe Cuttone with Coldwell Banker for your
consideration. We have done 4 transactions with him, buying and selling
homes and have always been impressed with his service! He is an extremely
experienced negotiator and it shows in not only the price and terms you settle
on, but also with the lengthily transaction of repair requests and
inspections. His attention to detail is unsurpassed. I’m extremely
organized and he seems to beat even me at keeping on top of all the minute
details and follow thru. He jumps in and takes care of whatever will help
make the transaction go more smoothly. The first time we used him to help
sell our home in San Ramon, I had a 2 year old and 6 week old baby and it could
not have been a better experience! He took care of everything!
We’ve since used him 3 more times and each time he exceeds our
expectations! If you are looking for an experienced, fantastic realtor
you won’t be disappointed. I can’t recommend him enough! In fact,
it’s always a good idea to interview several realtors before settling on one. Ask him to
come out and I think you’ll see how he differentiates himself from the initial
meeting! We did!
Thanks,
-Dorie

Before the turn of the real estate
market, I think you could have chosen almost any realtor to sell your home, but
now that the market has changed, we were so glad to have chosen Joe as our
realtor. Having dealt with other
realtors in the past, your level of service completely exceeded our
expectations.
-Susan
& David Moser
My
husband and I have dealt with many Real Estate agents in the past, but none as
professional and knowledgeable as Joe. He is definitely the best agent we
have ever worked with and we look forward to working with him again.

Joe was not my first agent, but he
was certainly the best. I hope that he will be my last, no matter how many
moves are in store for me, because I have found the finest!
-Anh

Our family has the opportunity to
relocate frequently and therefore have dealt with many different Real Estate
agents. We have never been so pleased with all aspects of the sales
process, from beginning to end, as we were with this terrific agent. We
cannot thank him enough for his personal attention and never ending effort and
commitment that went way above and beyond our expectations.
Joe
Cuttone. A name that truly defines the Real Estate profession.
-Patti
& George Christoff
We can’t thank Joe enough for
everything he did to sell our house. All the staging, marketing, price
adjusting & negotiations contributed to the final sale. We appreciate
all the hard work and experience Joe shared to get our house sold. Joe was
always available when we needed him and that meant a lot.
-Sandy
& Mark Moeller
Joe’s support didn’t end with the
closing of escrow on either the old place or the new one! I have been
extremely satisfied with Joe’s knowledge of the business and willingness to do
whatever it takes to please the client, and not just “close the
sale”. Should the need arise for me to move again my first call would be
to Joe.

Joe, as you know, one facet of my
law practice involves real estate agent and broker liability. Aware of
that fact, a lesser agent might have been timid in his representation and
hesitant in his decision making. Such was not the case with your representation
in our purchase. Your ability to anticipate and your intuitive negotiating
skills served us well and will no doubt be a hallmark of your continued success
in the real estate industry.
-William

From the second I met Joe, he was
driven toward one goal; to sell my house at the highest possible price. Joe
impressed me on many fronts but his most outstanding trait, from my viewpoint,
was his professional approach. Everything he did was documented, his sales
strategies were dead on and he was totally involved every step of the
way. I have bought and sold many homes and I can categorically say that
this was my most pleasurable experience in terms of working with a Real Estate
agent.
-Kirk
B. Selby
We have bought and sold many homes
in the past & we think Joe is the BEST!
-Mark
& Sandra Ramsey
One often hears the claim “I’ll take
care of everything”; Joe Cuttone did just that. We are extremely pleased
that we have Joe both as our realtor/advisor and as our friend.
-Tim
& Sandy Fogarty
Right in the beginning, Joe knew
exactly what we were looking for and he only took us to the houses we desired
and that’s a gift that he has.
-Saeed
& Hilda Salimian
Joe truly was a blessing. He
was everything we could have hoped for and more! He always does what he
says he is going to do & he really truly cares. Joe helped make our
dreams come true.
-Dale
& Heather Cavestany
We were very grateful for Joe’s
constant patience, hard work, confidence, direct involvement &
availability, a sharp sense and knowledge of the market and potential customers
& very strong negotiating skills.

To Whom It May Concern:
I relocated to Northern California
from Oregon.My home in Oregon sold very quickly – in fact I had 2 offers come
in on the 4th day that it was on the market.Not wanting to put my possessions
into storage, I was on a mission to quickly find a home in the Danville/San
Ramon area.
I was successful in that objective
thanks to Joe.His market knowledge and experience in our area made it easy to
quickly narrow the options in my price range and begin to quickly focus on
properties that met my needs.His accessibility was also very helpful as the
negotiations began and as we worked through market comparisons on our way
towards a successful purchase.
In a real estate market like we are
currently in, I could not imagine working with a realtor that does not share
the breadth of knowledge or experience that Joe does.
I’m now settled in my home and very
happy with my choice – I would encourage anyone who reads this to give Joe a
chance to earn your business and trust.

No words can adequately express our
appreciation to you in helping us for a second time; this time in finding a
good home for us. You've proved to be both an amazing selling agent and an
excellent buyer's agent. What impressed us so much is your ability to
understand your customers, and to always think in the best interest of your
clients. As always, your negotiating skills are amazing. We also value very
much your friendship, wisdom, and advice throughout the years. We highly
recommend you to potential clients.

Dear Joe,
Thank you for your help, support and
professionalism with the sale of our home during a difficult time for our
family. You made everything come together and made the sale seamless. I am most
grateful and will sing your praises to all that I know.
