Reviews of Jason Zaitz - Realtor - Compass (Real Estate Agency)

Ken Feng

Jason Zaitz came highly recommended by another realtor whom we had worked with during the purchase and sale of a previous home in another city. We found him easy to connect with and well worth the referral. After each successive viewing, we could sense that Jason was honing in on our perfect home. We never felt pressured or uncomfortable with him. Very knowledgeable about the Tri-Valley area, Jason helped us secure one of the top lots out of a exclusive 36 unit development. Jason was part of our surprisingly positive experience of home buying, during a stressfully strong seller's market.

I have worked with Jason professionally for about 10 years now and all I can say is that he totally gets it. He is extremely sharp and is very knowledgeable about the real estate market. He is a true pro and all of his clients love him! You can not go wrong with choosing him as your agent! Jason is always one of the top agents in Remax on a national basis, so he does a lot of transactions which means he has a lot of experience and has his hand on the pulse of the market. He is a straight shooter and will tell you how it is. I highly recommend him as a realtor!

Jason helped me purchase my first home in Pleasanton, CA. I am a veteran of the armed forces and was using VA financing. Jason was very knowledgeable about all the documentation I needed to make the process go smoothly. He set me up with a VA approved lender who was also well versed in the process of a VA loan. After helping me select the house, Jason worked closely with the selling agent to make sure all the prerequisites set by the VA were met. As this is my first home, I will be looking to upgrade in a few years. I will definately return for Jason's help when that time comes. It's that time again. And sure enough I called Jason. He sold my condo and got me a great price with very little hassle. After the sale he was able to find an excellent house for me in Livermore that had everything I wanted. Once again I used VA financing and it was not an issue like I hear it can be. Every time I hear friends or co-workers saying they just bought a home and it was the worst nightmare of their lives I just look at them like they are crazy because I haven't seen anything like that. And I am confident that is in no small part due to Jason and his extensive experience as a realtor.

My wife and I were relocating to San Ramon and we were looking for a local agent to help us since we are new to the area. My wife came across Jason on Yelp and gave him a call. That was probably the best thing we could have done. Jason is very knowledgeable about the Tri-Valley area and gave us a tour of San Ramon, pointing out the different areas and their benefits. He was also a very good resource for getting feedback on which homes would work best for our family. Jason was very patient and knows the market, other agents, lenders and what is involved in putting together a winning offer. Ultimately we ended up with an amazing home and got the deal closed in under 30 days. He was very responsive, professional and trustworthy. He also got to know our family and we will stay in touch after the sale, not something I can say about other agents I've used. I can't recommend Jason enough.

Jason is deserving of all his 5 star reviews. If I can give him 10 stars I would. The best thing I ever did when we started to look into moving to San Ramon/Danville area was call Jason. I honestly believe there isn't a better agent out there. He's knowledgeable, patient, honest and kind. We weren't the easiest clients. We had high expectations in a home without the limitless budget. Yet Jason was always positive. He knew the perfect home was out there for us. In a tough and competitive market like today, that is so important. He was there for the hand holding when the moments got stressful. He always knew what to say and how to put together a good/winning offer. Plus, he was always available - it really surprised me how available he was. If we left a voicemail, he got back to us in less than 30 min. The service he provides is beyond what any person would expect. Simply put, you can't get a better agent. He is THE BEST and I will refer him to anyone I know looking to sell or purchase a home in the Tri Valley area. Thanks to Jason and his negotiating skills, we got a house in an area we thought we would never be able to afford and a house we absolutely LOVE!! And if that wasn't enough, we feel like we have gained a friend. Jason is just an all around fantastic guy who we feel always has your back. If you're looking for an agent in the Tri Valley area, look no further. Call Jason...you won't regret it!

If I could give Jason 10 stars,I would because he is that good. I decided to interview him based on Yelp reviews and am so glad I did. He is professional, energetic, personable and enthusiastic - and he knows how to get things done. I gave Jason 3 days to get my house staged, get photos and have it on the brokers tour. I didn't think it was possible but I asked anyway - and Jason did it all. He had 2 open houses the first weekend - keep in mind that's less than one week after the house was ready - and he had record numbers of people come through the house each day. His pricing was just right - it brought in multiple offers - in fact, a LOT of offers - and all but one was way over the list price. The house sold for a record price for the neighborhood and I believe Jason had a lot to do with it. When there was a problem with the buyers' financing (even though they had been pre-approved), Jason held it together by talking with the buyers' agent, following up with the lender, and talking me off the ledge when I was ready to kill the deal. I've bought and sold multiple homes and Jason is far and away the best agent I've ever worked with!

Carlos Ramirez

Jason helped us through the process of selling our first home. His hard work, professionalism and sense of humor were greatly appreciated. We'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

H Yeh

Jason helped me in buying my new home (which is a wonderful place) and selling my previous home, at unexpectedly top dollar! I'm amazed by his dedication and professionalism. The work of his cleaning/staging crews and photograher definitely helped sell my home in no time. He paid attention to many details and make sure the transactions go as smooth as they can be. I've interviewed a few real estate agents, including some recommended by my family, before selecting Jason, and I'm glad my decision is right! Thank you Jason and Danielle!

Checklist for a good realtor: 1) Friendly 2) Knowledgable 3) Responsive 4) Punctual 4) Gets my bad jokes. Jason Zaitz has exceeded all of the above. He helped my wife and I buy a house in Danville. Thanks to him we were the first to see every house the came on the market and were able to find the amazing deal that we did. Look no further - Jason's your guy! =)

vimal patel

We were looking for a good agent to sell our house. I remember the brochure that Jason use to send us every year. I said let me contact this guy. I contacted Jason and his response was good and he seemed to be quite knowledgable in the san ramon area. We also had a short time in selling our house. We contacted Jason and had a meeting and we told him what we were looking for. Price was definitely into consideration. Jason had the house coming soon for couple of weeks and we were eager to know the interests. After he put on sale, we were very very excited with the offers that came in and that is all due to hard work of Jason, the way he had organized the presentation, staging and open houses. Our house is sold in 2 weeks. Hats off to Jason!

Kumar Moulie

Jason helped sell our home in San Ramon area. He is a great guy to work with, he patiently listens and understands your needs. He was very knowledgable of the area , have good contacts for repair and staging work and they all did a good job in a timely manner. We had a challenging situation with our buyer and he worked hard to get that closed. He takes personal interest in bringing up the beauty of the home, he watered our plants during the time of sale and kept the home and yard cleaner. He works around your time and needs. I would definitely recommend Jason if you are planning to sell your home in Old San Ramon neighborhood.

Brian Fintland

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Jason Zaitz. Throughout the entire process he was professional, conscientious, and motivated. I always felt as though I was his only client. Initially we were uncertain if we should buy or rent a property. He diligently checked multiple sources and provided figures that showed we would be saving thousands of dollars a year by buying a property rather than leasing. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Cheryl Decker

Contracts, an open house, and the agents tour. So much to think of your head's in a blur. Selling your house is an overwhelming chore. But, if Jason's your agent, you'll worry no more. You can sit back, relax, and have a glass of wine. He'll email all the documents for you to sign. He's professional, but fun and he really knows his stuff. He'll help you prepare by telling you just what's enough. He'll answer all your calls anytime night or day. And, keep you informed every step of the way. He knows the bay area and the market, too. And, with his expertise, he'll get the best price for you. It was amazing how he sold our house so fast! Got us a price well over what we asked! So, if you want an agent that's totally committed, Give Jason a call, believe me you won't regret it!

Kim Leung

My husband walked into a open house over 15 years ago and met Jason Zaitz. He immediately liked Jason's energy. He found us a home in Alamo and sold our home in San Ramon and also helped us with newly purchased Townhome in Dublin. We were extremely anxious to find a home to move and having sleepless nights. Finding a "right" home was very hard and time consuming for all of us. We were calling him constantly with list of homes we wanted see at last minutes and he accommodated us regardless of his schedule. Throughout stressful process, he was extremely patience. My husband met him when he was just starting out and it is easy to see why he is successful after 10 years in this highly competitive field.

We wanted to write you and let you know how much we appreciated all your help during our recent home purchase. Buying a home is an intimidating and challenging task but you made it easy. We were impressed by the way that you really worked to understand exactly what we were looking for and assisted us with narrowing our home search. I have an extremely busy work schedule and the fact that you were willing to drive to my office and home on multiple occasions so that we could sign paperwork was a huge plus and true testament of your flexibility. All that being said, one of the things that I thought really set you apart was that you didn't forget about us after the purchase was made. You followed up on all of the outstanding details including additional inspections, reports and repair work. It would have been easy for you to walk away once the purchase documents were signed and yet you made sure that everything was one hundred percent complete. We will be and are referring all of our friends to you for their next home sale and or purchase. We know that they will not be disappointed.

As a real estate agent, Jason is responsive, knowledgeable, and responsible. After my offer was accepted and I was in escrow, I found out that if I can close a few days earlier, I can avoid extending my lease. Very quickly, Jason worked with the seller's agent to get an agreement to change the contract to close earlier. We closed smoothly at my preferred time and I moved in right before my lease expired. Before I moved in, Jason did the final checking of the property and found the garage wasn't clean. He contacted the seller's agent to ask for a garbage disposal service to come and clean up the garage. From what I heard, it wasn't an easy job due to the lack of cooperation from the seller's agent but Jason knew what to do to get the job done. It took more than a week for the issue to be resolved and during that time Jason constantly showed his great care for the satisfactory of his client.

Jeffrey Hight

Ditto what the other reviewers wrote. My wife and I worked with Jason to buy our new home in Danville and it was a wonderful home buying experience. We were new to the area and Jason's experience and expertise were invaluable to our home purchase. Jason was very honest, super timely, always professional, and helped us out tremendously with his insights on the various houses and neighborhoods. The proof is in the pudding, we have found our dream home and Jason was a big part of that!

Brian Milanese

We were delighted to work with Jason again because our first experience was incredible! He helped market and sell our previous home quickly while keeping us informed along the entire process. The next step was to purchase our next abode. We have enjoyed it since the moment we moved in and we really appreciate the professionalism he provided. His expertise and knowledge was what made this experience possible for us. He worked with our timing and listened to what we wanted in both a home and location. Then he listened to what we didn't say, which was actually the key. Jason found us a house that was ideal for our needs. It perfectly suited our sense of style and aesthetics, yet still allowed us to modify slightly and continue to create the space as we envisioned it. Then as the Escrow evolved, he helped work out each obstacle as it came up. He referred us to an great loan broker and continued to hold our hands as questions arose. Jason stayed involved and in good communication all the way through the escrow process and promptly returned our calls. His friendliness, expertise and patience were exactly what we needed, and we appreciate it tremendously. Buying and selling a home are supposed to be stressful, but Jason has the intangibles that dispel that myth. I highly recommend him and would definitely use his services again!

Darel Murphy

My wife and I had been looking to buy for quite some time. When we got serious about purchasing a home Jason was recommended to us. This was our first purchase and can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. Jason was very flexible and accomodating to both of our schedules and was able to meet us at properties late in the evening on weeknights or on weekends. We didn't feel any pressure to buy from Jason, even when looking at our 20th home together. He was able to find us a property that met our needs, but let us make the fiinal decision. There are a lot of moving parts to the process when purchasing your first home, Jason was able to explain everything to us (multiple times) in a way that we could understand it. I would surely recommend Jason to anyone who is looking to purchase a home. I know that we'll work with him again in the future. I felt like he wasn't just a Realtor when he was helping us through the home buying process. His calm demeanor and sense of humor made it feel like he was a friend that we'd known for years.

Robbie Leong

Jason recently helped us sell our house and purchase a new one. We had a narrow timeline to sell and buy and Jason was very flexible and helpful throughout the entire process. He is personable, professional and a great communicator. We were extremely pleased with the time and attention that he gave us. If you want high quality work and a friendly real estate agent, we highly recommend Jason Zaitz.

Joe Moulton

Selling our first home and buying a new home was a huge decision for our family. Jason's guidance and expertise helped alleviated much of the stress that accompanies such choices. He took the time to explain our options with regards to selling now vs. waiting. At no time did I feel pressure from him to get my house on the market, nor did we feel pressure to purchase any specific house. Thanks Jason! We will continue to recommend whenever we hear that someone is looking for a real estate agent!

Jeanne Wehrman

Jason was outstanding with the sell of my home in Dublin and the purchase of my "Dream Home" in Pleasanton! Jason helped me to complete the process in just two weeks! Of course, I had to wait for both properties to close, before I could move. He gave me great advise on how to improve my old home, including construction work and staging. He took very professional pictures and made my house shine! I sold for well over the asking price. He also assisted me in getting the sellers to take a contingent offer for my new home. Jason is so professional and uses all the newest technology to expedite the process. He's very reliable and reassuring throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jason for all your realtor needs!

If you're looking for an Agent with superior knowledge of Bay Area, you've found him. Jason helped us sell our existing home and find our new dream home. During our first meeting he came very well prepared with information on our home, the current market and helped us formulate a plan. He also patiently listened to our 1001 questions. We knew by the end of that meeting that he was our guy. After listening to what we were looking for in our new home, he suggested multiple neighborhoods we didn't even know existed. In the end we sold our home and ended up in a beautiful neighborhood we initially didn't even consider. Thanks Jason!

Madhava Bheemakumar

We moved from Michigan to California and wanted to buy a house in Danville, California. We were fortunate to have Jason as our real estate agent .We were buying a house for the first time and in new state really it's hard to rely on anyone and to make decision. Jason helped us a lot in looking for houses and always responded promptly he never forced us for anything he is so helpful, professional and friendly and gave a very good guidance throughout. I will definitely be referring my friends to Jason. He is the best. I and my wife we both are very satisfied as he was there above and beyond through the entire starting and finish process. In 3- 4 years we have a plan to move to bigger house definitely we would go back to Jason to buy a house and even to sell the existing house. I would not want to forget to mention that he was so generous to gift us a washer and dryer and also he was always there to address our problems even after we move in. We were so fortunate to have him as our agent. Thank you Jason for exceeding our expectation and definitely would like to work with you in future again.

Shaam Pamidi

Yes, all of these 5 star reviews are accurate. If anything, they don't do Jason enough justice for how amazing he is as an agent and overall person. We were first-time buyers without the ability to pay for a home with an all cash offer, which meant we lost out on multiple properties where several bids were present. With Jason's ability to work miracles, we were able to secure a wonderful home after submitting just our 3rd offer. Given the fact that we were placing offers during the busiest time of the real estate season on properties that were renovated, desirable and in great locations, this was a huge victory! Jason kept in close contact with the seller's agent and was able to convince them to get us a counter offer, even though they had an all cash offer on the table. Yes, we were able to beat out an all cash offer with Jason's help! Outside of his excellent negotiating skills, Jason is just an awesome person to work with. Very knowledgeable and easy to speak with. He's a down-to-earth person that truly cares about what's best for his clients. He is available anytime you need him and has a "can-do" attitude regardless of any challenges presented. Bottom line - We've found our agent for life. We are excited to work with Jason again to buy and sell future properties and feel fortunate to have found someone who, in our minds, is the perfect agent to work with.

Jason is INCREDIBLY patient and professional. My husband looked at over 30 houses with Jason and every time Jason was patient and helpful. During our home search we looked and made several offers before finding the right one. The fact that Jason not only found the perfect house but was able to deal with two very particular individuals who are very much opinionated was a home run for us. Jason is an excellent agent!

Ramsey Pryor

Jason helped my family find the right home in San Ramon during one of the most insane real estate markets I have ever experienced during the summer of 2013. At that time, homes were going way over asking, everything ended up in a bidding war, and we really needed someone we trusted to help us navigate the madness. Jason showed us dozens of homes, offered accurate advice on neighborhoods and bidding strategy, and generally helped us stay positive and patient. He is responsive, experienced, trustworthy, and keeps a good sense of humor.

Tom Mattison

Jason helped me with my home purchase and made the experience painless. He is an excellent agent who is very easy to communicate with and is very responsive throughout the process. He was very patient as I was pushing to close quickly and helped the push the process through title to meet my tight deadline. He is also very knowledgeable and walked me through every step of the process so I had an understanding of all of my options along the way. I would definitely use Jason again if I was selling or buying a home.

Brad Brazeau

I HIGHLY recommend Jason Zaitz for any real estate needs you have! I'm a strong believer in sticking with good people and services when you find them. Like finding a good doctor or mechanic, finding a good real estate agent isn't always easy. Real estate transactions are typically some of the largest purchases/sales we make, and the ease and success of those transactions are often determined by the agent. Being new to the area, my wife and I tried two other agents before we found Jason. Dissatisfied with the other agents due to lack of knowledge and professionalism in one, and overall apathy in the other, we were pleased to find Jason who is a very knowledgeable and consummate professional. We found Jason after driving by one of his listings and calling him directly (since our then current agent seemed apathetic about showing property). Jason was immediately positive and helpful with the information we were seeking. Even though it was later in the evening and Jason and his wife were on their way to their "date-night" dinner, he still offered to come by and show us the property. Being the selfish jerks we are, we accepted his offer. Sorry Jason, we still owe you and your wife a make up dinner! That house wasn't right for us, but Jason helped us find the one that was. Being new to the area, we bombarded Jason with questions about the various communities and neighborhoods in the Tri-Valley area, and we had him driving all over the place to show us properties. Through it all, Jason was patient and willing to offer advice or help. His focus was not in pushing for a quick sale, but in making sure we were educated about the area and getting into a home that was right for us and our family. In addition, Jason was extremely knowledgeable regarding the current market, the pros and cons of the various communities and neighborhoods and even the financial institutions and processes involved when the properties were foreclosures or short sales. Being a very competitive market, we put in a lot of offers and dealt with multiple bidding wars, which was stressful and draining, however, Jason was always on top of things. We could count on him to proactively communicate with us, the other agents, banks, etc to give us the best chance of securing the property we wanted. Ultimately with Jason's help, we bought a great place in a great neighborhood and we are very happy. As I said earlier, finding a good real estate agent is as valuable and difficult as finding a good doctor or mechanic. After my trial and error experience with other agents, Jason is now my proven and trusted "go to guy" for all things real estate. I highly recommend you save yourself some headaches and frustrations and try Jason first. He's a good agent and a good guy, and he'll take good care of the real estate needs of you and your family.

Tom McDonnell

We worked with Jason on the selling of our home and helping us to find our new one. His direction and counsel allowed us to sell our first home for more than we thought possible and he found us the home of our dreams! When we purchased our first home, we had such a bad experience with the Realtor that we were very tentative about going through it again. He made this a comfortable and incredibly positive experience. His professionalism and attention to detail really helped us to feel confident in the process. His accessibility and commitment to us really was reassuring. We just can't thank him enough. We've been recommending him to friends, family, co-workers, strangers, everyone. We truly feel we couldn't have had a better Realtor and when we hear people talking about buying or selling their homes, we recommend him without reservation.

Michael Mchenry

Professional. Experienced. knowledgeable. Committed. Responsive. These are all great qualities that Jason possesses. I have worked with Jason on several occasions and every time it is a smooth transaction. His commitment to his profession and his clients is just another reason why Jason is so successful. Thank you Jason for everything you do and looking forward to referring my friends and family in the future.

Rene Zhu

Jason is top notch real estate agent! I needed to sell my Condo in San Ramon and looked up Yelp and found a 5/5 star agent in Jason! Throughout the process, Jason was super responsive, efficient and right on the money for the suggested listing price. With Jason being my agent, I can just have that peace in mind and leave everything to him and take my vacations away from the bay area whenever I needed. The closing process was very smooth, no surprises and glitches. Just sign the paper and collect the money :-) Thanks a lot Jason and I would definitely contact you for any future real estate needs!

jajabor

Jason Zaitz is a terrific Realtor. He is very personable and precise. My wife and I are very impressed with the excellent service we received. He is very professional, knowledgeable and resourceful. He was always within reach and kept us updated throughout the selling process. He even worked with us while on vacation when we were negotiating the sell. All in all, Jason is an exceptional agent. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a house or looking to sell in the Tri-Valley area.

Ryan Romero

Jason is absolutely fantastic. Being first time home buyers my wife and I had a ton of questions/concerns. Jason was always available and he truly made this process so much easier for us. We found our dream home here in Danville and we owe it all to Jason. If you are buying or selling your home rest assured Jason is going to go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. Jason you are the man!!!

Katherine Moynihan

My husband and I used Jason for both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our next place. First off, he is very friendly and genuine, which would have been enough for me, but there's more! For our initial meeting, he came to view our place very well prepared - organized and knowledgeable of our community along with recent comps. He got our place cleaned and professionally photographed (and I never realized what a huge difference that makes!). His flyers were top-notch and he was able to succinctly describe and highlight our property. He was always quick to reply to my questions and seemed to truly want what was best for us when accepting offers. For our next place, he was able to accommodate our tight schedule when we asked to see listings. We got lucky getting our second offer accepted in this competitive market, thanks to him putting together our offer together on a Sunday evening! I can't say enough good things about him!

Tea Vardo

If I could I would give Jason 10 stars! I had the pleasure of working with Jason in a project he worked on. Jason is very friendly, honest and goes up and beyond with his professional skills. I will definitely be recommending Jason to any of my friends and family members that are interested in purchasing or selling a house.

Raun Nohavitza

I needed to sell a condo in Dublin CA, and Jason got the job done in the best possible way: quick and efficient, top-notch staging / photos / marketing, clear and timely communication, and great attention to detail. Results: 70+ visitors on the opening day, 7 offers - all over ask, and a clean close within a month from start to finish. I very highly recommend Jason to anyone looking to buy or sell in or around his area. Great attitude, great work, great results.
