Tony Sayad

This is long overdue as Tony helped my buy a house almost a year ago. He never fails to impress me. Even when the market was high he got me the house I wanted for under asking price. Today my house is worth nearly $ 300k higher than what I bought it for. I wasn’t exactly looking for an investment as much as a home for my family, but I guess I got one thanks to Tony.

This review is long overdue!!! After testing out a few different agents (horrible experiences, we almost gave up!), we stumbled upon Tony by accident! Tony was such a pleasure to deal with, he worked hard with finance to make sure our house closed on time and that we were kept happy at all times. We are hard people to deal with, but Tony was always calm and patient with us! He had other homes closing but he never made us feel like we were in the way or that he didnt have time to talk to us about whatever we needed. We are so happy that we met Tony and if we hadn’t we probably would have given up looking based on our previous experiences with other agents! If we had the opportunity to purchase again, we would use Tony every time! THANKS TONY!!!

For anyone navigating the confusing, frustrating world that is real estate in today’s world, Tony and his team are absolute lifesavers! I owned a severely underwater condo in the Bay Area and my 5 year ARM was about to adjust. Neither of the banks that held my mortgages were willing to work with me to refinance or modify my loans, and it came to the point where I realized that I need professional help. Offloading the home via short sale was ultimately the solution to my problem (although it’s amazing that once you’re in that process that banks miraculously are calling you and wanting to work things out with you!).
Tony came as a referral from a friend, and I have thanked her profusely for the introduction since then! He worked tirelessly and diligently to market my home, find me the right buyer (well, almost right buyer), and close, close, close the deal when the time FINALLY came. This was an extremely long process, and Tony spearheaded the effort the entire time (over a period of 9 agonizing months), making sure to always answer my questions, advise me as to what to do and reassure me when all the hoops we had to jump through got to be too overwhelming. I am extremely grateful to Tony for helping me get that chapter behind me so I can move forward with my life. If you are contemplating a short sale, Tony is your guy!

I am writing this review because I believe this is very important to know. I recently purchased a home that tony was listing agent. I attended his open house and talked to him briefly about offers and how short sale’s work. I asked my agent to write an offer and submit, upon doing so a few days after the dead line my agent received a call back from Tony. He countered us an addendum that would assure me sticking through the shortsale or I would lose a certain amount of money. At first I thought his tactic was very hard core (although its perfect if he represents you). Upon accepting our offer after we agreed to his terms he did something I can’t believe anyone would do. He called my realtor and told him to reduce to purchase price by a great quantity. He told the agent no need for the bank to make extra free money, he said let’s negotiate with a low ball offer. He got us the price we submitted. This was incredible the guy saved me a lot and I’m for ever gratful. The next month someone listed exact unit also short sale for substantially. All because a guy like tony is not involved. Every one I know is in real estate, difference is that Tony is a legit sales person as for the others are just paper pushers. I am still shocked about this, he gave me a few other shortsale listings where he did same thing for the buyer and none of them are even his own clients.

Tony is very dedicated and committed. We were about to hire an very seasoned listing agent whose listing fee was low and competitive. We had met both him and Tony previously. We couldn’t decide between the two, so we send Tony an email, he won us over with his cancel any time email. He was willing to put his own money up front by using professional photography. Photography was very important to us.
Tony got us very close to the price we wanted, he over came appraisal difficulties. And also the buyer’s agent was just a very part time agent, so that created some challenges for Tony like extra drive to show them the property second time to the buyer.
We are very proud of him for over coming many challenges.
We also appreciated no sign and flexibility with lock box.
We were a little disappointed we did not get professional photography, photographer cancel last minute. We also wish we got to participate more in the negotiation process. Tony was in the driver’s seat most of the time. Also we wish we had more time to sell our appliances in the end, it created a lot of stress for us to remove the heavy items last minute. We left it for Tony as negotiating tools. We thought he was going to «squeeze every dime out of the buyers»
Got those words from Tony.
Tony did the best he could with a very unusual buyer.

MLS# 81 207 066 — Tony really helped me with my short sale. I had been trying to work something out with Bank of America for over a year, but without any results I was given the round around for almost a year. Afterwards, I looked into hiring one of these companies that help people negotiate with the bank, however, I was looking at fees starting at $ 3000.
Tony’s knowledge and expertise has been far more valuable than any company I could have hired. He was very professional and courteous throughout the short sale process. While the other companies did not have concrete answers to my questions regarding a short sale, Tony was up to par with the laws and kept me informed regarding the short sale process and the possible outcomes. He was honest and straightforward without making false promises. His honesty was very refreshing and comforting during such an uncertain time.
I was able to confidently leave everything in his hands, knowing that things will be taken care of properly. I even left for my trip out of the country in full confidence that the short sale is in the best hands possible. Needless to say the short sale went through smoothly, and even while I was out of the country he maintained constant contact and informed me of every step. My condo’s short sale went through without me having to pay one cent out of my pocket.

I’ve been searching for a property for over a few years now with multiple different agents, and every agent I had worked with just could not meet the criteria I had set for purchasing the property I always wanted. With millions on houses on the market I didn’t know why it was so difficult for someone to find me what I wanted.
I was than referred by a good friend to Tony, and right away after being introduced to him, i knew he was passionate about his job, and was eager to hear my interests and the areas I was interested in living. He evaluated my needs and was so professional that I was impressed such agents still existed out there.
With the short time that we met, he was able to get back to me the same day with listings that I was blown away by. He scheduled an appointment and before we knew it we were already looking at houses. For the amount of houses we have seen in the past I was impressed with Tony’s selection and I made an offer on the first house but unfortunately we did not get it, as it went 100k over asking price.
Long story short, our second house ended up having the same problem, went 75k over asking price, and finally we end up bidding on the house we fell in love and and were able to make an offer they could not resist and Tony was very professional and patient with us through all of this and was able to make this happen in a breeze.
Thank you Tony for your hard work and dedication in making our dream come true, and being the only agent who was able to find exactly what we were looking for.
