Sebastien Colas

Excellent communicator that helped our family reach a consensus on purchase criteria. * Responsive and flexible. * Domain expertise with income properties. * Principled position on risk based decision making. I was upfront with Sebastien that identifying a "perfect" property was an ambiguous challenge. He supported a multi-month exploration of the marketplace where we reviewed properties ranging from condos to SFHs to small commercial apartment buildings (5+ units). In the end we were able to bridge my absolute requirement to provide housing for adult children while mitigating run-rate risk with additional rental income potential.

Sebastien has been amazing. I just purchased my first home and he made the entire process stress-free from the moment he toured the home until even after closing paperwork was signed. Will recommend him to everyone I know that is in the market to purchase a home.

Working with Sebastien was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He not only guided me expertly through the home-buying process but also showed an incredible knowledge of the local area - city of Alameda 94501 and 94502. He knew the neighborhoods inside and out—school districts, amenities, traffic patterns, future developments, and even subtle differences in community vibes—which helped me make an informed decision beyond just the house itself. His market research was thorough, giving me a clear picture of property values and trends, and his negotiation skills ensured I got the best possible deal. Throughout the process, he made everything smooth and stress-free. He took care of the negotiation part with the seller's agent, and patiently answering my questions and providing guidance every step of the way. Beyond the transaction, he offered valuable referrals and resources for moving in, from reliable contractors to service providers, which made settling into my new home seamless. We are greatful to have him from the beginning to the finish point. Having an agent who combines local expertise, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend Sebastien to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and approachable agent who truly looks out for their clients’ best interests.

Really good agent!

Highly recommended! We've worked with Sebastien for over five years, starting as renters and then as buyers in the market for our first home. Sebastien helped us navigate the complicated world of Bay Area real estate and was always a phone call away to answer our (many) questions and provide thoughtful advice. We especially appreciated how he never pressured us into making decisions and always advocated for our interests. His sense of humor and warm personality also helped to make the complicated process of buying a home a lot more enjoyable. After a long journey of tours and offers, we finally purchased a home and are very happy with the outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Sebastien and he will definitely be our first call if we decide to buy or sell in the future.
