I would happily and enthusiastically recommend Stuart to any friend or family member. He is an outstanding realtor! He really made us feel like we were his only clients and that our questions, concerns and issues were his top priority. Stuart was always so prompt, communicative and answered any and all questions that we had. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and knew exactly what we needed to do to bring in a strong offer and get our home. We cannot thank Stuart enough for his dedication and hard work to helping us find our new home.

I highly recommend Stuart from Redfin if you're looking for a real estate agent. Stuart was patient and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of buying our home. He remained calm and collected during the tough times and always had a strategy ready to address any challenges. We really appreciated his steady guidance and feel lucky to have had his support. Thanks to Stuart, we navigated the home buying process with much more ease than we expected.

Being part of a team at Redfin allowed Stuart to focus on "the deal" rather than "having to deal" with all the other stuff, like marketing and DocuSigns. Stuart listened to my needs and found the perfect place for me. His direct communication and positive vibe made working through the details a pleasure. He even recommended an insurance agency who I ended up using. I felt supported the whole time, even over the holidays. I love my new place. Thanks Stuart and thanks to the whole Redfin team.

Stewart and his associates showed professionalism and skills we have not experienced with previous real estate transactions. Clearly a step above the others with outstanding communication and care. Stewart worked well with the selling of our property relative to offers/counters and showcasing our property as well as coordinating with other agents and when it sold coordinating with the buyers agent, escrow, lenders, termite, appraisal etc. On the purchasing end it was simply the best service as well with Stuart showing expert skill traits, patience, stellar communication and amazing customer service.

Stuart was the realtor when we initially purchased this property, and when we decided to sell we immediately got in touch with him. Stuart has proven to be professional, reliable and timely. Were we to purchase property in this area again, Stuart would be our first call. Ginger Huetsch stepped in as Stuart was out of the country and really helped us make the decision to sell and to price the property appropriately. She moved extremely quickly to get our home listed and sold! We’ve had nothing but positive experiences working with both Stuart and Ginger!

Stuart is the reason we were able to purchase our dream home, in our dream location. Without his guidance, strategy, and connections, we would still be on the hunt. Stuart's patience is unmatched, making sure we found exactly what we were looking for. The support didn't end when we found the one, he was a constant presence in helping us close during the escrow process. He made a stressful process smooth sailing, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Stuart was absolutely amazing and kept us positive through these highly competitive times of home hunting. As first time home buyers, there's a lot of emotion involved... especially with trying to deal with the budget, finding the right home, rejections, and we also had sellers back out on us during escrow process. It was too painful at times but every time Stuart would give us a jolt of positivity to continue on. After months of searching with Stuart, we finally found a home. Stuart was there every single step of the way to answer any questions, make suggestions without being aggressive at all. He earned our trust throughout this process and made this experience all worth it. He's very nice and highly skilled at communicating clearly without the fat. Not pushy at all. He tells you what...

Stuart went above and beyond, we were thankful to have him be our agent for the entire experience. To start off with, Stuart was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was very patient in explaining every clause and contingency in our offer contract. As a first-time home buyer, we were very appreciative of this. We would often reach out to him to ask questions and Stuart was always quick to respond and was good with follow ups. In addition, Stuart was a great sounding board for our opinions and reservations, he was candid and transparent, and often caught things that we did not. Stuart made the entire process as stress free as possible and it was a absolute pleasure working with him. I would recommend Stuart to anyone. Thank you!

We met Stuart by complete chance at a showing earlier this year while my wife and I were looking around in Mission Viejo. The house wasn't something that really stood out to us but we spent a good 20min or so afterwards talking with him about Redfin and how everything works with them. Fast forward a few months later we found our dream home on the Redfin website and Stuart went through a lot to ensure we got it! He was amazing with his constant communication, his superb understanding and compassion in him wanting to get the house for us - long story short he's just been amazing to work with, quick to answer random Qs, and he fought for us!!

Stuart is a well-experienced agent who is easy to work with. Initially, my hubby and I were in contact with some other agents, and some of them try to be friends with us in the first place and provides a bunch of unsolicited advice. (we are looking for professionals who can guide us as a first-time buyer, not looking for friends right? ) And when we start work with Stuart, he has a proper sense of distance (his Britsh accent might be a bonus:) He follows up with our tours and starts to know our preferences, but didn't give us any pressures to urge us to purchase something as soon as possible. He is very patient, I asked a lot of questions and he explained very clear and try his best to make things as simple as possible. Overall, I highly recommend Stuart, would like to work together in...

Where to begin!! Everything about our experience working with Stuart was outstanding. As first time buyers, we needed a lot of hand holding. Stuart was nothing short of exceptional throughout the entire process, a true expert in his field. He was patient, honest, explained things multiple times if I needed it. He made sure that we were protected and our best interests were looked after; up until the very end, he never stopped advocating for us. From placing our offer (in a multiple offer situation, he knew how we could make an impression) to the inspection (making sure the sellers repaired big ticket items) to getting the keys, he was on top of it. He always made himself available for us and the level of communication was beyond what I could have expected. I never once felt pressured or... Show More

When my husband and I first started looking to buy a house, Stuart was the realtor who met with us to show the house we saw on the Redfin website. Although we did not ultimately buy that particular house, we soon found the house we fell in love with, and chose Stuart to not only represent us in buying this new home, but also to sell our condo at the same time. He delivered on everything he promised to us at the beginning of the process, and more! Stuart is knowledgeable about the market, he ensured that the closing of the new house coincided with the selling of our condo, and he went out of his way to answer all of our questions (always within the hour). His ultimate goal was to make sure that both transactions went smoothly for us, and that we were comfortable with the entire process.... Show More

Over the years, we have worked with many real estate agents. Stuart has been the best one by far. He is unfailingly professional and organized. He responds very quickly to texts or phone calls, no matter the time. Even when we backed out of a contract to buy a house, he was upbeat and very businesslike. We closed on our new home last Friday, and were very impressed with how well he handled everything, and how he goes above and beyond. We would definitely recommend him, and would certainly use him again if we ever buy another house. Many thanks to this super nice, extremely competent agent.

Stuart was knowledgeable and attentive. He was also patient with our inquires and did a good job on following up with third parties when we had questions. He made the escrow process smooth and was a great point of contact for special requests that we had. He tends to get booked up pretty early, but that wasn’t a problem since he had partner agents with last minute showings. Overall he is a great realtor and I would highly recommend him.

Stuart has been very responsive to all of our requests in reaching out to the sellers. He has great communication skills and appears to look out for our best interest. We enjoy working with him. Recommendation: Have your new home professionally cleaned before you move in. Once the movers drop your boxes and furniture in your new home, you won't have time, energy or the space to clean your new home. It will be worth it to pay someone to do it ahead of time.

He also has provided us with suggestions and recommendations for remodeling options wherever relevant. He responded within minutes to any queries we had during our 6-8 months of house searching. He was extremely patient with us through escrow and took the time to explain things whenever we had questions. He accommodated home tours for us that aligned with our work schedule, sometimes with his associate agents who were also equally humble and patient with us all through our home buying experience. We never felt pushy and pressured to make a decision. We would definitely recommend Stuart to our friends and acquaintances.

He assured me that I had a realistic goal & would find a home within my budget. He had amazing patience as he met with me each time I requested a viewing. And, when I finally found a house that fit my needs in the Casta del Sol community, he voiced his concerns about the higher price and worked to get me the best price to keep it within my budget. Stuart patiently took time to review every item in each document to ensure I understood the paperwork. This was an amazing and seamless process because of Stuart and I am very lucky to have worked with him!

We're the kind of people that like looking for homes on our own but need a bit of extra guidance once it's time to make an offer. Stuart was great for this! Our search spanned over a year (we weren't in any rush) with only a couple of offers submitted. Stuart was patient, not at all pushy and always responsive. When we decided to make an offer on our last home, we had a very tight timeline. Stuart went above and beyond during this time to make sure that everything went smoothly and quickly. Not only was he on top of the schedule, but he was super helpful in facilitating a few extras that we needed due to our tight timeline. Thanks Stuart!

Stuart is hands down the best real estate agent I've worked with. He was super prompt, took calls on weekends, stepped in when we needed to do a property walkthrough but were out of town, and easily dealt with some more challenging issues that came up with our purchase. He is tech savvy, so we were able to use google docs to sync notes, and we did the majority of communications over email and texts for maximum efficiency (with phone calls and face-to-face meetings whenever necessary). He did not push us into making a purchasing decision, and offered alternatives at every step of the way. At no point did we feel we were being railroaded into one particular option. All in all, Stuart is capable and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

By a stroke of luck, we found Stuart by reading the Redfin reviews of their various agents in SF. His past clients seemed very pleased with his work, so we used our intuition and were not disappointed. Stuart has a very diplomatic and effective way of getting things done when the stakes are high. First, he managed to get us in to see the house for a second viewing despite the listing agent's initial hesitation—her client had pretty much decided to accept another buyer's very strong preemptive offer, yet Stuart managed to squeeze us and our own offer in just in the nick of time. Very much in the Redfin style, Stuart gently guided our offer in the right direction, without being pushy or bombarding us with the usual SF realtor manipulation: "this is a super-hot market, you need to abandon...

Stuart was helping us throughout the process and even after (e.g. re: contractor referral, other questions.) Highly recommend.

Stuart has been an incredible realtor! I'd give him a 10++! Quite honestly, I didn't know what to expect from RedFin at first. Being that I was doing a lot of the research and open houses on my own, when it came time to put in an offer, someone suggested I try RedFin. Even though he was "assigned" to me via the website, I couldn't have picked a better agent. He was professional, attentive, responsive and knowledgeable about the San Francisco market. Stuart knew what to do to make my offer attractive, and he answered all of my questions and responded to my emails, calls, and texts immediately -as did his support team. I always felt confident he was doing, and I had complete faith in him and his abilities. With all the electronic signing, the process was really smooth and easy. I kept... Show More

We also worked with Chris Amarante, and he was equally helpful in touring homes and very knowledgeable.

I worked with both Derrick Lee and Stuart Gavan. Stuart filled in for Derrick, who went on leave closer to the purchase date. As a first time home buyer, I found both agents to be very helpful with walking me through the process, explaining everything along the way, and answering any questions I had. Derrick helped me understand the market in general, the differences in San Francisco, and how to make comparisons and the initial part of the offer process. Stuart helped me do a thorough walk-through before making the decision to place an offer. He was great at asking the selling agent questions I wouldn't have thought about, such as details about similar units in the building and plans for the construction of a building nearby. At one point, he got down to look under a cupboard to see if... Show More

We're a first time home buyer and were definitely intimidated by the process. What really helped in the beginning was the workshop at the Redfin office. I met Stuart there and got a good impression. When we became more serious, we contacted Stuart if he can help us, after that, everything went pretty well. My wife and I spent some time visiting two or three open houses every weekend, sent emails to Stuart to ask his opinion, submit offers. Discussion about the prices was really helpful, and through that I was able to get some insights. We even submitted a few offers for out of range listings, but Stuart was always positive about our offer, quick to update what's going on on seller's side. Once our offer got accepted, all I had to do is sit and watch Stuart making it happen as soon as... Show More

Agent Response:

First and foremost, I really enjoyed working with these clients and customer satisfaction is always my number one priority. This was a preemptive offer, which is an offer that is submitted prior to the scheduled offer date in an effort to try and avoid a multiple offer situation. To get the preemptive offer accepted in these extremely competitive market conditions prior to the first scheduled open house, we had to make it very attractive. In this case, that meant waiving many contingencies and taking the property in as-is condition, hence giving up much of our negotiating power. I am confident that this strategy resulted in the best value for you as a buyer but I am truly sorry if the reasoning behind my advice was not 100% clear to you at the time of the offer. It is my responsibility as the buyer's agent to keep each deal on track and make sure we meet all deadlines. This is very important, as defaulting on any contract timelines could put my buyers' deposits in jeopardy. As a result, all Redfin buyers are regularly reminded about upcoming deadlines and "to do's" throughout the process by their agents and through Redfin's Customer Deal Room. I am sorry that these reminders ended up feeling pushy. They are meant to keep you protected contractually and always in your best interest. I strive with every client to give top notch service and am so grateful for your feedback as it helps me to be a better agent

He recommended lenders and came out to see properties which we were really really interested in and gave us very good insights into properties and pointed out things which we wouldn't normally have thought. One thing to note is that though, there maybe times when he is slow to respond, but be that assured you won't miss any deadlines, be it writing offers or preparing CMA's before the offer date.

Stuart was absolutely wonderful! We were first-time home-buyers and he helped us bid on about 5 properties. With each bid he helped us, but did not push us, with what our opening offer should be. Once we finally went under contract, he helped guide us through every step of the home-buying process. Email is his preferred form of communication, and he always quickly responded to our dozens of emails. Our inspection process had a serious snag and he fought for us every step of the way to help ensure the plumbing was finally fixed to working order. We highly recommend Stuart!!

Our DC house hunting experience was a long road. We put several offers down on homes in competitive situations and were outbid each time because the DC market (especially in Capitol Hill where we were looking) is CRAZY. During that time we were working with other Redfin agents, but had heard good things about Stuart and asked to switch to him. Soon after, we found another home that we liked. We were not able to tour the home initially with Stuart, but he went on his own to check the place out and answer some of our detailed questions. His perspective was valuable in confirming our positive view of the home. He also offered us insight into what he thought the selling price would be (he thought the home was underpriced), which gave us a bit more security for the very high escalating offer... Show More

Mr. Gavan is a credit to a profession in dire need of credits. The particular circumstances surrounding my transaction presented a set of unique challenges which he was able to meet handily. In general the nice adjectives used to describe his work in the other five-star reviews seem fitting. If you go with Redfin, be sure to have them assign Stuart as your agent.

Stuart was amazing through the whole process. We toured with him several times, and at no point was there any pressure to do anything but find a condo that works for us. And we did, and he held our hand through the rest of the way. He was responsive, attentive, and never seemed annoyed by some of our annoying questions and requests. Stuart took care of anything we needed immediately and without question, and stayed on top of all the various moving parts during the closing process. He was professional and friendly throughout, and we highly recommend him (and therefore Redfin) whenever possible to our friends. Thank you, Stuart-

Stuart was a pleasure to work with. He was very timely in responding to our questions - being first-time home buyers, we had a lot. For all the appointments where Stuart had to be present, he was always on time, sometimes arriving even before we did. Even though our buying process was slightly different because it was new construction, it was a comfort to have Stuart around to ask the questions we didn't think of or to advocate on our behalf.

The last time I bought a home, I worked with a traditional buyer's agent. It's been a number of years, and this was my first time working with Redfin. I love the website, and I was really enamored with the idea of the discount. My experience with Stuart wasn't quite the same as my last experience with a real-estate agent. Granted, the last time I bought a home was in the pre-iPhone days, when almost all communication was via telephone or in person conversations, and we spent hours in the car looking for listings. (This last point is completely mitigated by the existence of the Redfin website). This experience was definitely different. I was initially a little put-off that I didn't interact with Stuart, (or any Redfin agent), personally very much. However, everyone was always EXTREMELY... Show More

We will definitely use RedFin again in the future- although hopefully not for a while! :)

Stuart has been an exceptional agent throughout our home purchase process!! We had gone on a few tours with him when we were first looking for a home a couple of years before, so it was very special that we were able to close with him. Not only was he extremely responsive and prompt (and very personable!), he had a wealth of knowledge and assisted us on every step from bidding to closing. We had a particularly challenging transaction, but he was also able to identify problems that we would have easily missed. We would highly recommend Stuart and hope to work with him again in the future.

Overall Stuart was great. He is very personable and quick to respond, and always appeared to have my best interest in mind, which had not been my experience with other non-Redfin agents. We had a particualrly challenging transaction that involved a difficult sellers agent and conservator that was managing the estate. I wasn't always confident that Stuart had experience with some of the more difficult negotiations nor knowledge of all my legal protections under the contract. It also didnt seem like he sought advice of more senior agents or legal experts. Overall, Stuart was a great agent and I would recommend him to friends, and I think he will get stronger with more experience in the DC market. But overall i was very satisfied.

Stuart guided us through a very long and very complicated contract process on a foreclosure property. He was patient, gave us good advice, and was good at talking us back from the ledge when we needed it. He was flexible and dedicated, and made himself available to open the house up for a half-dozen different walk-throughs over the course of our contract evaluation period. I think we would have lost our contract and potentially also our earnest money if we'd had a less-patient, less-attentive, or less-even-tempered agent. Thank you Stuart! Onward to renovations!

In fact, he continued to answer our questions after the deal was concluded. I cannot stress enough how easy he was to work with. Like most Washingtonians, we have busy day-jobs that leave no time to work around a realtor's schedule. Stuart was always available whenever we needed him, and he was always pleasant to work with too! Bottom line: I'd recommend Stuart to any buyer.

Stuart is the best! Though my wife and I were novices to purchasing a home, I have worked in the real estate field previously, and I can say that Stuart stands out as a personable, knowledgable, client-focused professional. He was a steady and dispassionate advisor through our search and several purchase negotiations, and an effective advocate in the final transaction that resulted in our purchase of a beautiful home! He was patient and responsive in an intensive and emotional negotiation with a difficult seller, all while my (6 months pregnant) wife and I were trying to manage our own emotional rollercoasters as first time homebuyers- we personally and directly credit Stuart for our continued sanity! We could not possibly recommend him with more enthusiasm.

I attended an open house in Capitol Hill on my own. I contacted Redfin and Stuart helped me put together the offer and close. Stuart showed me just one other house over this period, and together we closed the transaction on the original home in just over three weeks. One of Stuarts strengths is the ability to cut to the chase and get things done quickly. We had several sticky spots in trying to get this deal done, and Stuart was expertly able to grease the skids to achieve the desired outcome. He is very knowledgeable, but I often found that I had to proactively elicit the information by asking questions. Stuart is prompt, courteous and very adept at working virtually.

Stuart was a tremendous help the entire way through the process and a pleasure to work with. He was responsive (always called back within 15 minutes) and provided good advice.

Stuart met us at the house, guided us through the contract and helped us with all of the tasks between ratification and closing. This is the third home we have purchased and Stuart and Redfin.com provided us with better service than the so-called full-service Realtors. I have already recommended Redfin.com to all of my friends and will continue to do so.

If there is one way Stuart could up his game it would be to offer his advice more readily. We got the feeling that Stuart knows this game and plays it well. But we were not always aware of how it was being played and what we could do to help win. Stuart helped us find a great home and negotiate a great deal. He was there every step of the way.

Stuart was very professional and a pleasure to work with. My deal went down to the wire and he had some creative suggestions to make sure the deal went through. My only critique might pertain to the structure and operation of Redfin: Because home tours are easy to schedule (which is great!) and they seem to do a lot of volume, it was sometimes hard to get a hold of my agent when the deal was in it's critical phases. I'm sure my anxiousness as a first-time home buyer didn't alleviate any of this. Also the seller was out of state, which made some of the communication tough, especially when pressed up against deadlines. All-in-all, I believe Stuart tried his best to make sure I was happy with my experience. Bottom line: I was satisfied with my experience and I especially love the Redfin... Show More

I found Stuart pleasant to work with. He's smart, has a good memory for details, and has a thorough knowledge of the standard real estate contract used in the Washington metro area. And when the seller tried to back out of the deal two weeks after the contract had been ratified, Stuart sprang into action. He consulted tirelessly with a real estate attorney and determined that the seller's reason for trying to stop the sale had no legal merit. Thanks to Stuart's persistence, I now have a beautiful home. And during the final walk-through, Stuart helped make sure that a tricky heating system was in good working order. No task was too large or too small for his attention; if you work with Stuart, you'll be taken care of. I would definitely work with him again.

Stuart was great. Very kind, responds to emails rather quickly and sat through a rough 2.5 hour closing. I think that he is a good agent for someone who really is independent in the home buying process, possibily more for second or third- time home buyers. As a first time home buyer there is always a constant state of panic about what is going on, what has been communicated, what has been responded to by the seller, and Stuart's style of service tended to amp up my panic level instead of quell it, if I didn't recieve communication from him about something we discussed or emailed about for days or a week... which then led me to worry and my head to swim thinking things are falling through the cracks.

As a first time home buyer, I had some anxiety using Redfin especially early on in the process. It's important to note that different from using a more traditional agency where the agent is looking for you for homes in your range, here you are really looking for yourself (and to some degree - i.e. a particular price range - your choices may be limited in what you are able to cull from the web, etc.)...of course you make up for this to a degree with the Redfin credit, but it has it's pro and cons and may be something to consider.
