Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $200k in Concord, CA.Summary:
We bought our first home last year, located just outside of Walnut Creek. It was quite the process, but could not have been done without the help of the Olsen Team.
We worked one-on-one with Ben to help negotiate the sale. Ben's knowledge of the area and his excellent people skills helped see the sale through from beginning to end. He helped us make sure all the requirements for sale were met by the seller and paired us up with the a great team to help set up the mortgage loan.
Post-sale, Ben has continued to be a great source of information. As first time homeowners, we have had questions from time to time, some of which we send to Ben to see if he can assist us with. Ben has gone above and beyond the call of duty, responding to these calls and emails with very helpful responses.
We will be returning to the Olsen team when we decide to sell this home. I recommend them highly.…More Less

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 in Moraga, CA.Summary:
My wife Rebecca and I worked with the Olsen team to purchase our first home and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Ben was our Realtor and he was superb every step of the way. We met Ben after a house we had bid on fell through and the whole process had left an unpleasant taste in our mouths. From the outset, Ben patiently scoured the market for us for nearly a year, showing us only what he knew we would like and would fit our needs and budget. He talked us through the trade-offs of neighborhoods, renovations and financing options, and had helpful suggestions at every turn that would ultimately make the difference in finding a great home. And because the Olsen's grew up here in the community and have young children like us, they really understood the importance we placed on schools, yard, and space. He and his family are very knowledgeable about the market, personable, and always made great recommendations.
Amazingly, when it came to making the offer on a great house where the price had just dropped, we were just about to leave on a vacation which we had been planning for six months. Ben took it all in stride and led the process on our behalf, negotiating diligently on every step of the deal and keeping us up to date with daily phone calls and emails. (The fact that we made a few counter-offers and completed the deal while we were out of the country still amazes me - testimony in large part to Ben's attention to detail in managing the negotiations). He was also creative in how he wrote the offer which enabled us to do some much-needed work before moving in while we locked in the best loan.
When it came to the inspections and the close, Lara and Sue jumped into the fray to help too and made sure that no detail was missed and everything went smoothly. From assisting on-site with different inspectors and reports to making great referrals for painters, roofers and floor repair - they helped us finish everything before the move. And to top it all off, Ben showed-up with a much needed bottle of wine on the eve of the move - never missing a beat.
The Olsen team are invaluable partners if you are looking to buy in LaMorinda - they are terrific!
