Cindy Wilson – Feagley Realtors

Your search for a GREAT East Bay Realtor ends right HERE!
A whole lotta of gratitude and heartfelt thank you goes out to broker Jerry Fegley /​Fegley Realty of Point Richmond /​Albany and our listing agent, Cindy Wilson for pretty much a problem/​drama free, very smooth process from start to finish. Our parents’ home, an original Mid Century Modern home my parents had custom built in 1958 on Ralston Ave. in Richmond View was on the market for LESS than 2 weeks! They kept the prep costs to a minimum but made sure we covered all the bases, and they went along with our good friend/​iconic MCM dealer Steve Cabella’s belief (and ours) that the design and original details of the house would sell itself, strongly recommending not to «gussy up» up the home with unnecessary 20K+ «improvements» and totally unnecessary staging that was previously recommended by a Berkeley «decorator» realtor we interviewed, but did not hire… THANK GOD! A special shout out to Jerry & Cindy’s «magic man» Bruce Audretsch and his crew for working their butts off to restore Mom & Dad’s home back to near it’s original glory, in less than 3 weeks… a TON of work! Bruce is part contractor /​carpenter /​mason /​historian /​craftsman /​handyman and certified Grunt that knows how to meet a deadline and get it done RIGHT! Thank you to the Jerry & Cindy’s Escrow & Title companies, behind the scenes quiet professionals who kept the process rolling while making sure we dotted all the i’s and crossed all t’s! And finally God Bless the new owners and this house that is now their home!
THANK YOU! Bill Argonza & Karen Argonza.

Cindy is amazing… She’s the first realtor to sit down and explain to me 1. the process of buying a house, and 2. the broken down costs of buying a home.
Cindy knows the Bay Area market. Her knowledge and strategy got me my place; first place we put an offer!!! I had looked for 2 years with other realtors.
Cindy is so accommodating and helpful, answering any question.

Cindy helped me buy my first house and she was so fun to work along the way. Her advice at each phase of the process proved spot on and was critical for navigating a rising market. She is incredibly knowledgable about East Bay neighborhoods (Pinole, El Cerrito, Richmond, etc.) and quickly figured out what I wanted to buy, even before I did! She is well-​connected and recommended an excellent mortgage broker and contractors.
Cindy always greeted me with a hug and kept my spirits up. She completely worked around my schedule and she never made me feel pressured to act before I was ready. In the end, I feel so lucky to have her on my side and don’t think I’d be in such a perfect neighborhood and house without her. She’s stayed in touch after closing and I’m grateful.

At an open house, she lied about several things (condition of things in the home, commute times) and obviously is just saying what she thinks will help sell the place. She also spoke very condescending to me, talking to me as if I were a child. While she may be effective in selling your home, she lacks integrity and as a potential buyer is very unpleasant to deal with.

We can wholeheartedly recommend Cindy Wilson.
She helped us finding a house in the crazy-​hot San Francisco Bay Area market in a short time as we paid several visits from out of state. She gave us a realistic picture of our options and narrowed down the search profile as our preferences became clearer. She was very efficient in making ours the winning bid, and facilitated electronic signing of all documents. When the house was under contract she arranged several inspections and then negotiated a significant deduction by the seller as a result. We were also quite impressed by her care in following up after the closing: she arranged and supervised several key repairs that made it so much easier for us to move in. Cindy was always friendly and personable throughout the entire process and was always reachable for questions.

Horrible and unscrupulous agent, she was sitting on a sofa reading a book when I walked into the open house, and then she flaked when I made an appointment to view the property again. Her boss, Jerry Feagley is also a rude and an unprofessional broker. They did not list their license on the marketing material (a violation under dept. of r.e.) There are so many brokers out there, Feagley Realtors should stick to brokering trailer parks, not Bay Area homes.

I’m writing this review to highly recommend Cindy Wilson for your residential real estate needs.
As a mortgage consultant, I’ve been working with Cindy Wilson for the past 8 years and going. She is extremely informed of the market, diligent and responsive, yet very patient. Cindy is kind, considerate and always has your best interests at heart. Her cheery personality, coupled with her knowledge, and effective communication style, makes her the perfect agent.
You will be glad that you chose Cindy Wilson, as your Realtor.

Over the years I’ve purchased 5 houses in the Bay Area, and of those five realtors Cindy is the best! I was not familiar with the East Bay/​Pinole/​El Sobrante area and we found Cindy on Unilocal.Don’t be fooled by her ‘girl-​next-​door’ looks– beneath that exterior beats the heart of a cunning, savvy realtor! Having lived 20 years on the Peninsula where housing prices are outrageous, I kept wanting to offer too much money for homes I liked. Cindy very wisely held us back, adjusted our offer a little here and there, and we got a wonderful house despite going up against three other bidders! Later, when we were not able to get clear information on a sewer lateral replacement for our new home, Cindy took the bull by the horns and just drove down and pulled the permit herself– now that’s service! I highly recommend her.

My wife and I have bought two houses with Cindy’s assistance in the last six years. We have been very impressed and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Cindy is ethical, patient, hard-​working, and most importantly she is a skilled negotiator who is extremely savvy about East Bay real estate.
In our work with Cindy she has
— above all, done everything necessary to help us buy two houses, both of which we are thrilled with (we now rent out one house and live in the other)
— tirelessly done whatever we asked of her, including (the first time) driving us around from Oakland to Point Richmond every weekend for two months before we finally worked up the courage to write an offer
— written several offers on properties that she warned us would be difficult to close on (short sales, reo, fixers, and houses that we couldn’t afford, amongst others) but which we wanted to try for anyway
— talked us out of a condo that we really wanted but which was badly overpriced and had an HOA which was a mess financially (thank goodness — that condo lost 40% of its value during the crash whereas the single family home we eventually bought instead has held its value nicely)
— always had a creative solution to whatever problems arise, such as trying a lease-​option on a house we fell in love with but couldn’t quite afford, or successfully renegotiating a deal that nearly went south due to an appraisal problem
— always been eager to make time for whatever was needed to move a deal forward; whether it was staying up late at night to get an offer finalized, arranging inspectors and contractors to evaluate houses (on one house we tried for, we had a list of 20+ specialists who needed to get a look at the house and Cindy gamely lined them all up in about 24 hours), or hitting the streets to see houses we were interested in over and over and over
— intelligently and aggressively advocated our interests to the agents on the other side of the deal, in one case resulting in us successfully purchasing a house 38K below asking in a hot market
— never been afraid to tell us when it was time to walk away from a deal
— referred us to an outstanding network of professionals including mortgage brokers and contractors who we still use
— demonstrably had an excellent reputation amongst other real estate agents; sometimes I go to open houses alone, and more often than not if I told the listing agent I was with Cindy Wilson, the agent would have heard of her and would tell me I was in good hands. Agents live and die by their reputation and Cindy’s is superb
In short, I cannot say enough good things about Cindy. Not only are we incredibly lucky that she is our agent, we are without a doubt happier and wealthier than we would be otherwise.

Cindy is an excellent realtor. I was very, very selective when searching for a realtor because my mother, who lives in another state, has been a realtor for 30 years. Therefore, I had very specific criteria. I actually met with and disregarded several other people. However, when I encountered Cindy at an open house, I had a good feeling about her. After our first round of looking for homes, I was ‘sold’ on Cindy– pardon the pun.
CIndy is very knowledgeable about the area, helped me narrow down my search area based on my needs, and was very patient with me as I also had very specific criteria in finding a home too!

I found Cindy through a friend who had a wonderful experience with her. I was not planning on selling but in my heart wanted to make a change. I met with Cindy to just get some ideas on what was possible. She was very honest and supportive and not pushy at all. I decided to take a chance to sell my duplex and buy my own home. My family thought I was crazy. With Cindy’s help, I was able to sell for a realistic price and find a new home that did not break the bank. I put my complete trust in her and would use her again in a second. I highly recommend her, she will watch out for your best interest and will not let you down!

Cindy helped my husband and I purchase our first home. We had very specific needs and she was very patient with us as we scoured North Oakland in search of the perfect house… which we found and absolutely love! She made sure we understood the process and was there for us the entire way through. Hope to stay in this house forever… but if not we’ll happily work with Cindy again.

We’ve bought twice and sold once with Cindy. She knows houses from top to bottom and how much it costs to fix each part. She has the contractors you want (best for least) at her fingertips, and is the hardest working realtor I’ve met. Cindy worked cheerfully and almost daily for 32 weeks (!) to find the house we plan to retire in. She’ll surprise you with her shrewd negotiation skills and integrity. There are a lot of realtors to choose from and each time we re-​chose to work with Cindy.

I found Cindy through her website,
. With her experience and expertise in the area we were looking to buy, I felt really good about hiring her even before we had met. I called Cindy and she got back to me right away. From the beginning she was professional and personable. She listened to what my husband and I were looking for and spent as much time as we needed looking around and asking questions. As first time buyers we had a lot of them!
Throughout the entire process she was always on top of things. She responded immediately to my phone calls or emails, which I really appreciated. She also put in extra work speaking with city employees or tracking down documents from a seller that liked to drag their feet about things. In the end we got the perfect house from an incredible agent and when we are ready to move on to the next phase of our life house-​wise we know exactly who we will call!
