Bert Aranda, Independent Real Estate Brokers-DeMattei & Associates DRE#00849436

Bert came highly recommended to help us purchase our first home, and from our very first conversation, we knew we had the right person by our side. He explained the entire home-buying process in detail, including what to expect every step of the way, which immediately gave us confidence and peace of mind. As we toured homes, Bert always made us feel comfortable and never once pressured us into making a decision. What we appreciated most was his honesty; he pointed out not only the positives of each home, but also the potential negatives, which helped us make informed choices. Thanks to Bert’s knowledge, transparency, and guidance, the entire buying experience felt smooth and stress-free. Whether you are a first-time buyer or have purchased before, we highly recommend reaching out to Bert. He truly is the best!

I was referred to Bert back in 1997 when I was looking for an investment property. The first time we met I knew I had the right agent. He is personable, knowledgeable, transparent, and very attentive to my needs. He is a good communicator and is always ready and willing to handle any situations that develop during a transaction. He continually goes above and beyond what you would expect a typical agent to handle. Bert has helped me build a large real estate portfolio over the years and I am very grateful for that. I would never work with anyone else. If you need an agent with extensive real estate knowledge, especially in the investment field, I highly recommend Bert. He is the best!

I can’t say enough about Bert and how much he helped us during the sale of our home! Guided by his knowledge of the area, Bert set the perfect list price for our home. We sold the property quickly and were very happy with the price we got. Bert basically held our hands the whole time. In the beginning, we were overwhelmed by the whole process but Bert really took a lot of time and helped us understand terms, interpret reports, and really made us totally comfortable. We knew we could depend on his experience and honesty, so we were able to relax and let him handle things. I would definitely recommend Bert to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Bert is the kind of realtor everyone hopes to find. Professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. He guided us through a competitive market with strategy and care, always keeping our best interests front and center. His communication was excellent, and his experience really showed. We’re thrilled with our home purchase and deeply appreciate everything he did to help us get here.

My sisters and I definitely got lucky when Bert Aranda was referred to us. We were on the east coast and needed to sell a condo on the west coast. Bert was wonderful! He had the experience and knowledge we were looking for; he was always responsive; and was a real workhorse in keeping the wheels constantly moving forward. He managed the renovations and and the contractors; always had a quick fix for us, provided great resources and was just a smooth operator all-around. Against all odds - in a lousy Oakland condo market - we got an offer for the asking price within one week! Couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Bert to anyone and would use his services again if I ever had the need. I also recommend you use the same stager and professional photographer my sisters and I used to maximize your chances in getting noticed. Bert will tell you who they were. He's GREAT!
