Mike and Sandy Rostad – Coldwell Banker

Mike and Sandy Rostad did a wonderful job helping us navigate the process of buying our first home. They patiently answered all our questions and connected us to the resources we needed. Sandy sat with me for multiple hours to understand disclosures, comparable sales, neighborhood quality, the market and — finally — figure out a competitive price for our home which got our offer accepted. It was the first house we made an offer on and we are so glad we had her help, since we would have probably actually offered too much without her guidance based off years of experience in the crazy peninsula market.
And once we had the home she was always available to open the doors for us, contractors, and inspectors and provided some really good references. Even after the sale was a done deal she kept checking in and being available to help us out.
We wholeheartedly recommend Sandy and Mike to anyone looking to buy a house on the peninsula!
Thanks to you both!

Mike and Sandy are truly amazing! They made our first home buying process a very smooth and enjoyable one. They were incredibly helpful from beginning to end, and were available at all hours (including weekends) to answer any questions or view potential listings. We met Mike at an open house and are so thrilled we had the chance to work with both of them. Very highly recommend them!

Great team! The helped me sell my first house and buy my second property.
I believe they are wonderful and really enjoy helping others.
Thank you both for excellent service.
Thanks again,

MIke and Sandy are an absolute joy to work with! We relocated from across the country to the Peninsula in 2015, and Sandy helped our family through every step in the process to land in a great home and school district. Monitoring the market several months in advance of our actual move was incredibly valuable, and we got a great sense of the market before even arriving here. We were also able to execute an offer on a one week house hunting trip, and her great knowledge and advice helped navigate the local market environment to a winning bid the first time! On top of that, Sandy’s energy, optimism and humor strikes exactly the right tone in creating a great rapport. We were very fortunate to work with Sandy and highly recommend this dynamic duo to anyone buying or selling a home in the area!

Mike and Sandy Rostad in San Carlos just sold our home and are very experienced, honest, knowledgable and easy to work with. And they have lived here in San Carlos for something like 23 years; they know this area! As a bonus, they are fun people. They did a great job for us selling our home under some unusual circumstances (I was still doing day-​care in my home during the whole process) and they still worked around my schedule with tours, meetings, etc. They offered very helpful tips and tools and offered us some nice incentives. Everything worked out extremely well for me. I am grateful to the Rostads and would trust them with your needs and situation. They are brilliant negotiators and are there to answer any and every question you may have along the way!

Sandy and Mike are extraordinary.
My husband had done a lot of research and interviews w/​real estate agents, and we thought we’d never meet an agent that would meet our criteria. But we knew that they’d be perfect for us the first time we met Sandy and Mike. And the results speak for themselves — in one of the most competitive real estate markets for families in the Bay Area (San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo), our first offer was accepted! We closed last week, and got the keys today. The smoothest and most amicable process I’ve ever heard of between all parties involved (real estate agents, broker, owners, and even the contractors she recommended).
Unlike most real estate agents, they didn’t push us into any options we weren’t comfortable with. We completely trusted Sandy’s judgments/​advice throughout the whole process. She is very ethical and just has the best interest of her clients in mind. She responds quickly to emails/​texts/​phone calls, is always there when you need her, Sandy is very well connected to other realtors in the area. As a mid-​peninsula native, she knows all the intricacies of the neighborhoods.

Mike and Sandy are absolutely stellar agents in every way. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are enthusiastic, hard-​working, extremely knowledgeable, and just genuinely nice people – a complete pleasure to work with.
In late 2012, they helped sell our home in San Carlos. When the first offer (pre-​MLS) fell through last minute, within 10 days they had our house re-​staged, on MLS and had five new offers in hand, higher than the first. We are so grateful for how smoothly they handled the whole process – challenges and all.
I have no doubt they are also lovely to work with as buying agents.
Best of the best!
