Lou is a thorough, dilligent, and thoughtful agent. He helped me purchase my first home! I am grateful to have met Lou and worked with him to close on a home that I absolutely love. Throughout the entire process, Lou was courteous, solid, and overall pleasant. I highly recommend working with Lou on your next (or first!) real estate transaction.

Janet And Lou Witkin, Real Estate Specialists. I have known Janet and Lou Witkin for years. When seeking advice regarding my parents home after my dad passed on Janet and Lou were extremely knowledgeable in helping me to evaluate the cost of the property in negotiating with my sibling. I will always be grateful for their kindness and professionalism.

My husband of 31 years and I are 'enjoying' a divorce. I originally contacted Janet in May to give me some idea what our jointly held house might sell for, as my husband's estimate and mine were not the same for the purpose of asset allocation. Janet came prepared with a photo of the house, area comps and a ready smile. I contacted Janet again in June to list the house when it became clear that the only way to agree on the value of the house was to sell it. She came and we filled out the ream of paperwork required to list a house for sale and she filled out a duplicate set and sent them to my husband to sign. She was patient and understanding even though my husband did not sign the papers until the middle of December.Once he had signed the papers, and it ended up being a challenging co-listing, Janet arranged for open houses over the Christmas holiday - a difficult time to sell a house. She stayed in e-mail contact with me even though I was out of the area. At the same time, she was helping me locate my very own first house - no small undertaking with very specific requirements and minimal dollars.I am already working with Janet on another project - finding my Cal Poly son a place to live in San Luis Obispo, and should I decide in the future to sell the house I just purchased, I will call Janet, and will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who asks.

Trustworthy, knowledgeable, hard working, determined professionals! Janet Witkin and Dawn Glajchen recently sold my house and found me a new one in the location I desired. Their knowledge of real estate and the bay area really impressed me. Janet and Dawn were always willing to go the extra mile for me. They were involved in preparing the home I was selling -- landscaping, staging, and fixing up -- to insure I got the best price possible and that I was able to sell my house quickly! They were there for inspectors so I didn't need to take time off of work. They are top notch agents with a wealth of experience, great relations with other agents and brokers and will genuinely give their honest feedback based on their knowledge of working with you. They are competitive and effective negotiators.Janet and Dawn were fantastic in helping me buy my new home. They listened to my needs and worked hard to identify houses that fit my criteria. I found that my desired city, neighborhood and type of home changed as I figured out what I wanted. Janet and Dawn took the time to weed out what wouldn't work for me , and took me to every house I was interested in until I found the right house for me. They worked hard on the offer that we wrote, figuring out a competitive price and how to present a successful offer. Janet and Dawn really went above and beyond what a typical agent does, and saved me weeks of frustration and stress. I know that it was thanks to their work and ability that I was able to land the house that I did.Janet and Dawn are terrific agents! They set themselves apart from other real estate agents with their excellent service. They are trustworthy, knowledgeable, hard working, determined professionals. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the bay area.

Lou Witkin was my realtor for my first home purchase. He is detail oriented, knowledgeable and passionate about real estate. His extensive knowledge and expertise helped me make the right decision whe n looking for a first home. Lou was extremely responsive and made sure to take the time to answer every question I had about the process. If it wasn’t for Lou’s guidance and strong negotiating skills, I don’t think I would have been able to make the leap into home ownership. He is the only realtor I will use moving forward and can’t wait until my next opportunity to work with him! Lou turned a generally stressful process into a great experience and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
