Client Testimonials
“Can't say enough good things about Berkeley and his team! I had a condo in Bellevue that was listed for over a month without receiving a single offer. Berkeley understood the urgency to get the condo sold, and seamlessly coordinated repair/photography and set it up perfectly. All the while he was completely transparent in the process and prompt in answering my questions. He provided me with excellent advice from pricing to market factors. His dedication to work and willingness to address all my concerns big or small made me feel supported every step of the way. My condo was sold above listing price after one open house. The whole process was smooth and uncomplicated. I would highly recommend his service to anyone and everyone. Thank you!”

“My agent was very responsive to each of my requests, no matter how small. My agent gave me excellent guidance with regard to the offers on the sales of my home - which showed impressive knowledge of the process and current market. The Group also provided my with excellent and skilled subcontractors to get all the work done both on the home I sold and on the home I purchased with them. Definitely a full service Group!! I sold my house at a premium price and purchased competitively with my agent, and that says a lot. And it was all completed in a very short window of time. I would highly recommend the Berkeley Lipetz Group at Compass - hands down!”
