CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"We could not be happier with the service Brandon provided. He gave us excellent advice regarding how to prepare our house for sale and what the pricing/strategy should be. He presented options, depending on how much work we were willing to do, and how much money we were willing to spend to get our house ready. He was flexible and prepared to work with us on whichever option we chose. Communication was outstanding, with Brandon responding within minutes to all of our questions/concerns. In the end, we were able to sell our house for top dollar in no small part due to Brandon's efforts. He's a hard worker and we highly recommend him.
"Met Brandon a few years before I was ready to sell, but he always kept in touch. When I was ready, I contacted him and he had the perfect program for me. Brandon and his team led me through the process of selling my home and even finding a new one. He was always there to answer any questions and explain thoroughly this process that was so new to me. He and his team were awesome to work with. Highly recommend!"
SELLER
"Brandon helped me sell my property in Redwood City, CA. He was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. His advice was spot on. We put our home in the "coming soon " category and sold our house for above asking in one week, all without doing extensive prep work. Brandon is always available and very helpful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell a house in the Bay Area."

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jennifer & Andrew have been great to work with - personally and professionally - in both the sale of our old house and purchase of our new one. Without getting into detail, our situation was quite complex on the purchase side - so much so that my wife and I agreed that it required more expertise than could be fairly expected of any typical realtor or broker. The Oldhams provided that expertise for us, and we ' ve already referred another couple to them. 5 stars!
BUYER AND SELLER
Jennifer and Andrew were wonderful to work with, starting with pricing and sales strategy right up to negotiations and closing Highly recommended They both are seasoned professionals able to manage the entire sales process, and having a lawyer on the team provides additional clarity for occasional complexities.
SELLER
Jen and Andrew have beyond exceeded our expectations They were patient with us through a long search process, provided a consultative approach along the way, set realistic expectations without letting us overpay and we ' re never just here to sell us any house When it came time to sell our home the team of people they work with to prep, the marketing support and the frequency of updates keeping us in the loop has once again been over the top We could not be happier to be working with them, will 100% be referring our friends and colleagues and will without question use them again in the future.

A letter from Compass
CEO Robert Reffkin
Thank you for considering Compass to guide you through your home sale. At Compass, we ’ ve built the #1 real estate brokerage by sales volume in the United States and within 10-years of launching our first sale on Compass com, our agents have achieved over $1 trillion in sales volume We’ve accomplished this by helping homeowners like you protect and maximize the value of your most important asset – your home.
Compass has developed a 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, drawing on best practices from real estate developers, professional home builders, and luxury marketers to create demand, build momentum, and ensure your home is best-positioned for success. This phased marketing strategy can be far more effective than a single public launch. In the same way that Hollywood launches multiple trailers to build anticipation for a movie premiere, the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy allows your agent to launch your listing multiple times, building similar excitement and demand.
Your Compass agent will guide you through every step of the strategy to help you choose what works best for your home and help ensure it receives the attention, interest, and the offers it deserves.
Thank you,
