TESTIMONIALS
Real Clients. Real Stories.
"Jeremy made my house purchasing journey so painless! As an immigrant without any family members here, buying a house can be quite daunting and intimidating. There was so much to learn at each step. But Jeremy was so kind and helpful at any given step. He was super patient and detail oriented. He also never gave me any pressure to move forward and always let me take my time to make the decisions that I was comfortable with. I really trusted him throughout the journey. He treated me more than just a client, but more like a friend who he hopes the best for. By the end, he helped me to buy this wonderful home that I couldn't have asked for anything better. I will certainly work with Jeremy again in the future!"

"Jeremy kept us sane and on track throughout our first buying process, I don't know where we would be without him! We bought our dream home for our family and couldn't have done it without him. Jeremy was responsive and quick in setting up viewings and was always willing to drive across the Bay to meet us and show us a property. Once we were in escrow he was professional and built a strong relationship quickly with the selling agent to help make the process stress-free for us. He was always available for a call to talk through questions we had, especially as first-time buyers, and he truly cared for our happiness and well-being through a stressful time. We will absolutely be going back to Jeremy if when we buy again and would send anyone looking for a great Realtor® his way!"

"Jeremy works really hard for you. One example: A key fell in a narrow crevice behind some stairs that we thought was inaccessible. Guess what Jeremy did? Yeah, he proved us wrong. He also comes through right away. As anxious as a new homebuyer gets, we pretty much understood the whole process. You want to call him after business hours? Totally fine. He’s really cool and still keeps in touch."
J & J
"This recommendation is not for Jeremy, it is for you! Believe me, your life and real state experience are going to be much more amazing with him. Jeremy helped us with every detail, he made things smooth and comfortable for us. He was always aware of us, he is simply an amazing and outstanding Realtor®. We feel very lucky and grateful he was and still is our Realtor®."

"It’s hard to put into words just how great of a human and real estate agent Jeremy is! As first time home buyers, my fiancé and I were overwhelmed initially by the highly competitive and strategic pricing model used in the Oakland market. Those feelings quickly changed at an open house one Sunday afternoon, where we first met Jeremy. After an hour conversation, Jeremy’s warmth, honesty, and real-estate knowledge shined throughout our discussion and we knew we had found our agent. Within days, Jeremy jumped right in and went to work. He was so balanced, listening and learning about our home priorities while equally sharing information about trends in the market, neighborhoods we should focus on, and educating us on the overall process. His background as a teacher made this experience so easy and enjoyable, especially for first-time home buyers like us. He is a great communicator and was always supportive and happy to help at every step of the way. Within 1 week of deciding to work with Jeremy, we put him to work with our first offer on a home. While most agents may not jump in that quickly, Jeremy sensed the type of clients we were and the speed at which we wanted to work - and he matched us effortlessly. Because of Jeremy, we were able to move quickly and make informed decisions while he anticipated our next step without overwhelming us. After working together for only a few months, Jeremy helped us secure an amazing home in a neighborhood we would have never discovered or been open to without him. We are so grateful for the experience we had with Jeremy and thrilled that he made our home buying journey one of ease and grace (especially in the crazy market we experienced in 2021). We look forward to working with him again for our next adventure in 5-7 years. Get ready Jeremy!!"

Jeremy is the real deal. He's everything you'd want in an agent and more. can't imagine finding a better agent to help us buy our first home. Responsive is an understatement. Jeremy knew what we needed before we even did and was an absolute joy to work with.

"Jeremy is incredibly devoted to the service for his clients, treating every transaction as if they were his very own.

A professional through and through."

"Jeremy Davidson was my real estate agent who helped me purchase my home in April 2022. He made the effort to understand what type of a home I was looking for while assessing to what level I was ready to compromise in finding it in such a competitive market in San Francisco. He was very personal while always remaining professional and made me feel like we were a team working towards a common goal. Jeremy was extremely helpful from beginning to end during the offer and purchase process, always on top of all the requirements and endless paperwork, preparing me for what to expect during a long and unfamiliar process. He always gave me valuable advice and provided encouragement when a situation happened to arise and stress levels would climb. Jeremy made himself available via different ways from email to his cell phone as well as in person; he was open, honest and approachable during our communication and always exhibited high levels of work ethic, integrity and passion for his profession. I am very thankful for the referral I received about him and feel very fortunate to have had such a knowledgeable, attentive and trustworthy professional by my side during the process of purchasing my home, a time in life that is so unique and special, and I will not forget."

"I had a fantastic experience while working with Jeremy. This was my first time on the other side of the table – as a seller in a buyer’s market no less. Yes, this was a buyer’s market that I was confronted with when I put my condo up for sale in San Francisco where there was a glut of condos for sale. Jeremy was extremely helpful as he guided me and answered my questions throughout the selling process – from getting the required inspection completed and filling out disclosure forms to preparing for open houses and accepting an offer. He always answered my text messages, emails, and phone calls promptly. Jeremy understood the market conditions very well. I valued his counsel and judgment when it came to setting the sale price and negotiating with potential buyers. I’m incredibly grateful to Jeremy since I got my condo sold in 32 days when other nearby condos had already sat on the market for more than 60 days at the time my condo was sold. With Jeremy as your REALTOR®, you will be in good hands."

"My partner Rachel and I could not be more thankful and appreciative to Jeremy. He is a magical human being and made this entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. From the first call we knew Jeremy was “the one” with his calm demeanor, witty sense of humor and reassuring ways. Jeremy never pressured us during our pre-contemplative months, and was a guiding light as first time home buyers for the entire process. When we finally decided to get serious he was always available (even at 10pm numerous times) by phone and in person. Jeremy is caring, intelligent, dedicated, and will undoubtedly be our dear friend moving forward in life . If you are lucky enough to have him as your agent please don’t hesitate- He will treat you like family and make sure you wind up in the right home like he did for us. Much love Jeremy! Thank you my friend!"

"From the very beginning of our work together Jeremy was acting like a true professional. He started with a video call and introduced himself to us. To that moment we didn't know what exactly we want, so we were open to all options which fit our budget. Little by little Jeremy helped us to narrow down our preferences. Since it was the very first time we were buying a property, Jeremy was guiding us through all the processes. He was very patient and very friendly to us. His wise advice helped us make the right choice and to become happy homeowners! We were so lucky to get a chance to work with Jeremy! He is the best!"
V. C.
"Jeremy took the time to listen to us, and together we were able to find and close on our beautiful home. He gave us insight when we needed it, helped open our eyes to options we hadn’t considered, and also kept us focused when we hit rough patches. We’re so happy to have worked with Jeremy and strongly suggest him to anyone!"
Buyer
"My spouse and I saw 3600 Woodruff Avenue in Oakland a few weeks ago. I want to let you know that while we ultimately decided we’re not going to make an offer, we were VERY impressed with the work your contractor acquaintance did on the home. The laundry room is now my gold standard for laundry rooms. Your level of knowledge and attention to detail was so appreciated when giving us the download about the space — I remember you lovingly straightening a potted plant on the dining room table while telling me about the neighborhood, without skipping a beat. Thank you for being good at your job and putting positive energy into the world!"

"Working with Jeremy was an absolute pleasure. As first-time homebuyers, he went above and beyond to put us in the best possible position to land the home of our dreams (in just six months). He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and flexible throughout the home buying process; he kept in contact very frequently, made time to join us for after-hours viewings, was patient and thorough in answering our endless questions, and was proactive in sending us hot new homes that matched our interest and budget, to name a few. When it came time to put an offer in our home, Jeremy was direct and transparent about what a winning offer looked like in the uber-competitive Bay Area market. After some powerhouse negotiating and before entering escrow, he answered our endless last-minute questions and clearly defined/explained all anticipated closing costs. In a blink of an eye, we were closed and he was handing us our keys! If you’re looking for a new home, especially if you’re a first-time homebuyer, we highly recommend reaching out to Jeremy and his team at Compass!"

"We are so glad that Jeremy Davidson was our realtor for our first home. As first time buyers who knew nothing about the process, Jeremy was extremely supportive and guided us every step of the way. He made us feel valued and was available in-person and on the phone for every question we had. During our first house showing, he talked us through what we could expect through the entire process. Jeremy took the time of day to visit each home with us and work with our schedules. There was a day where we walked through 7(?) units, and Jeremy patiently accompanied us and gave valuable input on the quality of each home. Jeremy has a great eye for spotting what kind of renovations were done to each home, what maintenance each home would need, and what a competitive offer would look like. Even in a hot market, he never rushed us into a decision or pushed us to bid higher than we were comfortable with, and even brought up concerns about homes that seemed difficult to maintain. During the day of the offer, Jeremy kept us up to speed with the actions that were taking place, and was in constant communication with us. Jeremy's reliability, industry knowledge, and trustworthiness make him an incredible realtor and person in general, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a home!"

As first-time home buyers, we had so many questions going into searching for the right home, making the offer, etc. and Jeremy was not only very responsive and detail-oriented, but also very patient and calm through it all to keep us sane and on track.

"Jeremy was such a pleasure to work with! Our sale was not straightforward and we had many unforeseen bumps in the road which Jeremy navigated with ease. He marketed, promoted, and showed our duplex expertly so we were able to get a price above our wishes. It is not easy to be a successful Realtor® in SF, there is so much competition and rules and regulations especially with Covid. However, Jeremy made the process easy and straightforward and handled tenants, buyer's agents, title officers, etc with grace and clarity."

"I’ve known Jeremy for nearly ten years. He is a very trustworthy and honest person. He has a genuine interest in other people He has years of experience in real estate and works hard to meet his client’s needs. I highly recommend him."

"Jeremy made my experience very pleasant and stress-free. He understood what I wanted, made sure I was making the right choice and guided me through all processes. I am a first-time buyer unfamiliar with some of American bureaucracy and regulation (HOA for example), and he really explained to me step by step. Even now, months after I am in my new home he is still very responsive in trying to educate me on some nuances of this new world. He is very responsive, effective without coming across as too pushy. I strongly recommend him."

"I greatly enjoyed my time working with Jeremy to close on my first home. Jeremy is a diligent and dependable agent who was so ready and willing to help whenever he could, he made the arduous process of home buying incredibly smooth. In particular, I was really grateful for his insight and knowledge of the process from the first tour to keys in hand, it really made me feel much more at ease and confident in my decisions knowing that he had my back. Would absolutely recommend it!"
