I heartily recommend Realty Advocates and Hal Feiger. He did an excellent job of serving our needs, going above and beyond the call of duty. He was patient, confident, punctual and very detail oriented. He held many open houses (some with catered food!) so that our home got maximum exposure to other agents and buyers. Our home was not an easy sell. It was the smallest house on the smallest lot in the neighborhood during a "buyer's market." We got the price we needed and the lower commission meant a great deal to us.

We are very grateful to Brett and Realty Advocates. First, his attention to detail and knowledge of construction helped us tremendously on the house we bought in Piedmont. Secondly, his orchestration of all the elements involved in getting our current house on the market (like arranging for inspections, painting and various handyman projects), and advising on the staging were all flawless. Third, we thought his marketing material and newspapers ads were fabulous. His large ad in SF Chronicle really stood out and made most of the other listings look skimpy by comparison. Brett's marketing plan and discipline resulted in us getting not just two, but ten great offers. The fact that Brett's commission was $13,000 less than what other agents wanted to charge was just icing on the cake. Great service and great value. Brett Weinstein gets our unqualified and most enthusiastic endorsement."

Dear Brett,
I so appreciate your unflappable professionalism in the service of selling our house on 10th Street. I am so pleased to know beyond any doubt the great service and fabulous value that Realty Advocates offers. I hope that this is only the first time we will be able to enjoy your superior work in East Bay real estate transactions.

What impressed me most about Brett was his great enthusiasm for both my house and the neighborhood, his first-hand familiarity of all the recent sales, and the fact that his commission was thousands less than the other agents I interviewed. I was especially pleased that he was able to convince the buyer to "forgive" the $10,000 termite report and take the house as-is. I think people are crazy to pay a 6% commission when someone as good as Brett is available for thousands less!
— Ivan Rosenblum
Most of the other agents we interview seemed resistant to, if not actually offended by, the idea that they should sign for less than 6%. Some of them warned that "cut-rate agents" would mean cut-rate service. In your case they could not be more wrong. We found your handling of our home sale to be highly professional from start to finish -- from providing us with your best opinion of the anticipated value of the house even when it diverged from our expectations, to getting the house ready to show, getting it listed, getting it shown, helping us evaluate offers, and providing us with calm counsel throughout the offer and escrow process. I can hardly imagine what better service any "full-price" agent could have provided.
— Ryan Werner and Julie Parr
While we were initially tempted to sell "by owner", Realty Advocates' low commission convinced us otherwise. We chose their full service and with just 5 days on the market, Hal brought us eleven offers resulting in a sales price exceeding our wildest dreams. He has our unqualified endorsement.

Dear Brett,
You did a great job! Never missed a beat-no matter how crazy we got. Thanks,
— Roslyn Fuerman
Dear Hal,
I couldn't have been more blessed than to have you as our agent. As you know, the process was difficult for me -- symbolic of a necessary loss and life-change. Your understanding and grace helped me get through. Thank you.
