Seth is an excellent realtor. He is careful and detail-oriented but helps the buyer keeps things moving quickly so there are no missed opportunities. He is exceptionally diligent at follow-through, even as to small items, and he has continued to be helpful for us, even long after the transaction closed. He is well-connect and has helped us connect with all manner of contractors. Seth does not play the "suave and slick" realtor, but unabashedly leans into the "nerdy" side of his personality. This has a disarming effect and makes it feel easier to ask him basic questions, which he is happy to answer. If you are new to the unusual market in the Bay Area and especially Berkeley, I would recommend him highly. He is good at explaining the norms here.
