We have a home because of BloomHomes. What else is there to say? From the introduction to house keys, Stephen Bloom and Robin Donovan were heaven-sent. They committed to be on our side and worked at full throttle for us from our very first meeting until our names were on just the right deed. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I had questions, concerns, anxieties, and decisions that might otherwise have felt like impossible challenges given the Bay Area market. Understanding that it's no small feat to find a home, much less place a successful bid, Stephen and Robin imparted strategy that helped us understand how to find what we were looking for and eventually guided us through the closing process without a hitch.

We have a home because of BloomHomes. What else is there to say? From the introduction to house keys, Stephen Bloom and Robin Donovan were heaven-sent. They committed to be on our side and worked at full throttle for us from our very first meeting until our names were on just the right deed. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I had questions, concerns, anxieties, and decisions that might otherwise have felt like impossible challenges given the Bay Area market. Understanding that it's no small feat to find a home, much less place a successful bid, Stephen and Robin imparted strategy that helped us understand how to find what we were looking for and eventually guided us through the closing process without a hitch. Friends of ours have house hunted so long that they've decided to rent again; others have placed bid after bid only to come up empty-handed, but Stephen and Robin‚ through intimate market knowledge, years of experience and sharp math consistently positioned our bids right on the wire. Our first two bids almost made us homeowners off the bat which seems unheard of given the fact that cash offers were being made left and right. By our third bid within months of beginning our search, we were homeowners‚ with a bargain of a house in just the area we wanted. In the process of closing, we even decided to change lenders to lock in a better mortgage rate. Stephen and Robin both took the radical change and the delay and made it work. It was a risky decision on our part and could have complicated the sale's stability but rather than make the situation more stressful, Stephen and Robin simply continued to be on our side explaining options and best practices in keeping the sale on course. Sincere thanks to Robin and Stephen! Nearly a year later we remain forever grateful to BloomHomes and can't recommend them enough.
Stephen Bloom and Robin Donovan did a phenomenal job representing us in the sale of our house. Stephen also represented us when we purchased the home and did an equally fantastic job on that side of the transaction. Stephen and Robin crafted an extremely effective marketing campaign that resulted in multiple offers and a sales price significantly over asking. Stephen and Robin provided sage advice during every step of the process and were always accessible. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and cannot recommend them highly enough if you are looking for an agent on either the buying or selling side.
I would highly recommend the Bloom Team for purchasing or selling a home. They take a genuine interest in getting to know you as their client and work hard to assist you with achieving your results. For my wife and I, it was the purchase of a home in a competitive marketplace. Both of them come with skill sets that assist you in understanding the market you are purchasing in and walk you through the process on how to achieve your goal. They are responsive to email and text calls which is vital when time is of the essence when the market is moving quickly. I wish I knew of colleagues wanting to purchase a home or sell one at the moment as I would definitely talk to them about contacting the Bloom Team to assist them. We found out about Stephen and Robin through another couple who had used them to purchase their home in Alameda.
Stephen Bloom really shone when things felt dark! We had some trouble selling our house due to bad timing with a slump in the market but Stephen persevered. We sold the home and due to his keen business know-how and years of experience not to mention his willingness to shed some blood sweat and tears, we got a great price. He was willing to listen to our concerns negotiate with us on what had to be done and what could float and was always available with a smile. His mid-western values and sheer kind heart are what makes him a fantastic agent. You won't be disappointed if you go with Stephen. Thanks, Stephen.
