Susan & Ron Rothenberg's Client Testimonials
 
"My wife and I couldn't have been more happy working with Ron & Susan Rothenberg. I could go on and on about their level of experience and professionalism, but what really mattered to me is that I knew I could trust them.  It's so much more to them than just closing a business deal, they really care about all parties involved and have their clients best interests at heart.  I have no hesitation in recommending them."
 
Lance Swanson, Managing Partner and Fund Manager, Diablo Vista Capital Partners
 
 
"Thank you both again for doing such a wonderful job for us in selling our home.  We would never hesitate to refer you to any of our friends in need of excellent real estate agents.  You two are the best!   You both exude total confidence, trust and knowledge....you did not cause us a moment of hesitation!"
 
Judy and Frank DeCarbonel, 45+ year residents of Lafayette 
 
 
"Ron, Susan and their assistant  Renee provide a comprehensive, very professional, team-based approach to residential real estate valuation, marketing, make-ready, contract negotiation, and deal closure.  Ron has an MBA in marketing, Susan absolutely has her finger on the pulse of cost effective street appeal, both of them know the Lafayette market intimately and have no realistic competitor in its vicinity, and Renee cheerfully and capably shepherds all details and processes to successful conclusion. Their integrity is unquestionable and they are painfully conscientious.  We have both bought a home for which they were listing agents and sold that home with them as listing agents.  I believe that they obtained the best possible price for the seller within time parameters set by the owner in both instances (during both the market peak in the first instance and the market bottom in the latter) and always remained focused on getting the deal done, despite the inevitable emotionalism of both buyers and sellers in a residential real estate transaction.  I might also add that Ron is virtually a professional photographer and his web page design and marketing are extraordinary and very effective, even a resource for his competing realtor colleagues.  All three of the team are continuously available by e-mail, text and cell phone and the client always knows who is on the pitcher's mound for the team and who is fielding the fly balls.  I recommend them without reservation and am an experienced homeowner, having bought and sold seven homes."

"Thank you for your excellent work in helping me sell my Lafayette home, and for your wise advice. There wasn't one time when I thought your suggestions were off the mark--they were always astute. Your staging and marketing was extremely effective. "

“You have dotted all the "I"s and crossed all the "T"s from the inception to the completion of this transaction. I am a stickler for detail and have appreciated greatly your consistently outstanding performance. You are the BEST!”

 Bert Gilling, MD, Anesthesiologist, John Muir Medical Center



“Ron and Susan were able to sell our home in a very difficult market. Ron has a tremendous wealth of marketing experience and understands how to market and sell real estate. He is also a very creative photographer which helped in the development of a gorgeous online presentation and brochure to help attract interest in our home. I highly recommend them.” 

Michael Kuller, President and CEO of All-Star Oxygen Services, Concord, CA


“Ron is an expert real estate agent who demonstrated rare integrity during the early stages of the market decline. He was candid about what he was seeing in the marketplace and did not sugarcoat his opinions about the risks that I was evaluating in various properties. I recommend him highly.” 

Charles Park, Chief Compliance Officer (US Funds) at Barclays Global Investors, San Francisco


“From top technology for accurate pricing and property exposure, to qualifying the buyer and closing the deal, the Rothenberg’s didn’t miss a beat. We’ve worked with many realtors in several property transactions, but they were by far the best.”

Michael and Janet Verlander, Owners of Prima Restaurant, Walnut Creek


 
“We picked Susan many years ago because we needed someone who knew Lafayette -- and we weren’t disappointed. We’ve now bought/sold six homes with Susan. She would be the first person we would call if we were ever to sell again!”

Victoria and Alan Bjerke, Lafayette, CA



“Ron brings a truly unique expertise to his work. He not only understands real estate; he also provides detailed financial models to support his analyses. Ron was thoughtful, creative and active during a difficult economy. On a personal level, he is even-keeled, optimistic and incredibly responsive. His energy and determination was remarkable, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.”

Christopher Vejnoska, Partner at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Law Firm, San Francisco

 
“The Rothenberg’s were certainly a class act! They were patient and comprehensive with their recommendations for selling our home. Their highly professional marketing… from thoughtful staging, high quality brochures, dynamic advertising, and really effective internet marketing…resulted in us receiving three offers well over our asking price. Their professional and efficient work made it all go so smoothly. Ron and Susan are simply the best professionals in real estate!”

Michael Trupiano, COO of July Systems, Sante Fe, New Mexico



“I first contacted Ron by email after looking at the Rothenbergs’ website. The response I received was rapid, thorough, engaging, and intuitive. Over the next few months, as my husband and I began working with him, we found out that those four characteristics are consistent attributes of his. We very much enjoyed house hunting with Ron, and truly appreciated the way he and Susan took care of us. Team Rothenberg would definitely be our first choice were we ever to move again.”

Melissa Owens, MD, Obstetrics, Alta Bates Hospital, Berkeley


“Susan and Ron are so professional. Their integrity is off the charts! We always refer our friends, family and associates to them, knowing they will be taken care of by the best in the business.”
