Bill, Lydia and Magda you did a fantastic job of creating and overseeing the transformation of our mother’s 55 year old well worn home into a beautiful, sunny and sparkling home ready to be acquired by a new young family. And that you got a no-contingency 23 day closing offer 1 day after the initial broker’s open was beyond our wildest dreams. You really know how to convert and present a home for maximum value. Thank you again for all your efforts.
Top notch sums it up. The team of Bill, Lydia and Magda did a phenomenal job with the recent purchase of my new home. From start to finish, the team managed every aspect in the most professional and efficient manner, persevering through a challenging situation. Not only did they bring their expertise to the table, but also a caring, kind and tremendously thoughtful approach. Knowing the team had my best interests at heart brought me peace of mind throughout the process. Their expertise was invaluable as was the professional relationship they had with the seller's agent. If you're considering buying or selling a luxury property in Marin, I strongly recommend the team of Bullock and Sarkissian. I couldn't be more pleased with their professionalism, sincere dedication and focus on a positive outcome.
Just when you think you have a plan, life happens, and 3 months after purchasing our Tiburon home we needed to sell. Other “top” agents snickered and rolled their eyes. Bullock Sarkissian Team rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They invested in new photography, video and drone imaging and executed an aggressive strategy to market our property internationally. The Bullock Sarkissian Team understood our sense of urgency and relentlessly pursued every lead and opportunity to sell our home. They sold the property in 3 months off market. A miracle by anyone’s standard, but it did not come easy, and only resulted from their hard work, skill and determination. It sold because after the buyer demanded a 25+ item request for repairs, the Bullock Sarkissian Team called in favors from their Rolodex of contractors to complete the work quickly and cost effectively. True to their word, the Bullock Sarkissian team said what they were to do and did it. When people show you who they are, believe them.

1. Lydia is extremely market savvy. Her regular market updates kept our property price competitive which sustained our traffic in a crowded market. She is also extremely protective of the seller, only presented offers that were vetted and prequalified, and always had our back on counters. 2. Stuff happens in escrow, this is where Bill shines. He has seen it all and is a thoughtful counselor. He drives a thorough upfront disclosure and inspection process which simplifies the price negotiation and accelerates the escrow timing. 3. Our house was vacated shortly after our listing went live. Magda actually staged our house virtually on line and showed interesting design possibilities. Very cool totally modern marketing. Together, this team generated multiple offers from highly qualified buyers in a sophisticated and competitive marketplace.

The Bullock and Sarkissian Team are first and foremost closer's! They bring their knowledge, resources and expertise to real estate transactions and get the job done for sellers and buyers alike. We have sold two off-market homes in Belvedere through Lydia and Bill, and now Magda over the past nine years. In both cases they had discriminating buyers interested in very specific properties. Once mutual interest was established and price agreed, the Bullock and Sarkissian team goes to work and executes working 24/7 if needed. Contracts, inspections, disclosures, negotiations etc. are all handled with calm, but necessary urgency, professionalism, and precision. The team has depth, beyond the named principals, and deep contacts in the Marin market to execute the sale. At every step of the way a member of the Bullock and Sarkissian team was with us, ensuring everything went according to schedule. We could not be happier with the professionalism, the process and the happy outcome.
The Sarkissian/Bullock team has represented me in 2 high-end Belvedere sales, and my friends to whom I referred them, in 2 high-end purchases. They’re the perfect team – Lydia and Magda run a flawless operation and Bill’s the best contract guy I’ve ever worked with. They’re smart, extremely conscientious and attentive to detail, with vast knowledge of the market and years of transaction and listing experience. I wouldn’t consider anyone else to handle my real estate.
I have worked with Lydia, Magda and Bill on 4 transactions totaling $30 million. They are consummate professionals - tenacious, hard working and sincerely care. Whether you're considering selling your home or looking for your next abode, I strongly recommend that you visit with them.

The Bullock/Sarkissian Team did a fantastic job of successfully completing the sale of my house in Tiburon in December 2018. As a seller, I found the team not only highly knowledgeable about local market conditions, but they were really great about keeping me up-to-date and informed as the process went through the usual ups and downs. In the end, this team just really handled me well, and greatly reduced my stress level. Their calm and secure guidance was confidence-inspiring. I’m grateful to them for the successful outcome and I think, if you’re selling a residential property in Marin, you should definitely want them on your team. Their combination of deep experience, local knowledge and numerous personal relationships paired with client service and honesty/integrity is really powerful.
We have had the good fortune of working with the Bullock/Sarkissian Team on several successful real estate transactions and they have always exceeded our expectations. Their dedicated, experienced team goes above and beyond to provide sound advice, knowledge of the market and solid guidance in a sometimes difficult real estate market. They are amazingly resourceful and well connected professionals who make their client’s interests a number one priority.
You will not find a team with more experience or heart–we are clients for life! As first time home buyers, we relied heavily on the expertise of Lydia, Magda and Bill to help us identify, negotiate and ultimately close on our dream home in Marin. Every question we had (and there were many!) was answered with great care and the utmost professionalism. Bill and Lydia have the kind of market knowledge, connections and deal instincts that you’d expect from professionals with nearly 40 years of experience. If you’re serious about buying or selling a home in Marin, there really is no other team to consider.
