Buying Property? Jeff is a vivacious, gregarious, and overall savvy Realtor®. He's one you're glad is on your team from an executional and pure enjoyment to work with standpoint. From day one, I told Jeff exactly what I was looking for and I quickly realized I felt very understood by him. He was soon able to anticipate my needs as if we'd been working together for years. Over the course of a few months I sent Jeff two lists of properties I was interested in which were a mix of properties I had found on Zillow and ones Jeff had shared with me. In short order, Jeff had every property lined up to tour at my convenience. On my 2nd day of touring, I found the first property I wanted to put an offer on. The issue with this particular property was I knew there would be no other like it, a true dream place. This is when I felt the pressure mounting for us to perform. The second we left the prope…

Buying Property? Jeff is a vivacious, gregarious, and overall savvy Realtor®. He's one you're glad is on your team from an executional and pure enjoyment to work with standpoint. From day one, I told Jeff exactly what I was looking for and I quickly realized I felt very understood by him. He was soon able to anticipate my needs as if we'd been working together for years. Over the course of a few months I sent Jeff two lists of properties I was interested in which were a mix of properties I had found on Zillow and ones Jeff had shared with me. In short order, Jeff had every property lined up to tour at my convenience. On my 2nd day of touring, I found the first property I wanted to put an offer on. The issue with this particular property was I knew there would be no other like it, a true dream place. This is when I felt the pressure mounting for us to perform. The second we left the property, Jeff was on the phone with the selling agent building a relationship. From then on, I was impressed with how Jeff's strategic moves from what we communicated to the selling agent to his advice for my lender. One area really stood out the most and that was Jeff's negotiation skills. He, without a doubt, was working for me, ensuring I got the very best deal while also maximizing our odds of landing the property. We met a slew of challenges from a delayed appraisal from the bank to a backup offer on the table and more. But rest assured, I did really feel like I was always in good hands with Jeff's always upbeat, positive, crafty, yet almost stoic approach. Jeff also did the little things like driving to a hardware store to pick up a garage door opener for me, lending me his lockbox, or referring me to all of his craftspeople. Last but not least, escrow can always be a stressful, high-pressure time. However, in hindsight, it sure had its stresses, but at the end of the day, I had a blast working with Jeff. Trust (10/10), fun to work with (10/10), negotiation skills (10/10), strategic (10/10), responsiveness (10/10), and listening skills (10/10).

We serendipitously met Jeff through his website when we started looking to buy our very first home. We had many, many requirements in mind when looking for a home that included pricing, location, structural specifications, etc., and absolutely no experience in these matters. Jeff was extremely accommodating to all our concerns and interests, gently educated us in the terminologies of real estate, and suggested lovely, excellent options to check out. On top of that, we kept adding potential homes to the list from other online sources, and Jeff patiently helped us go through all of them too! We especially liked how Jeff was very candid when it came to pointing out all the pros and cons of the options we explored – it really showed us that he only had our best interests in mind.

We especially liked how Jeff was very candid when it came to pointing out all the pros and cons of the options we explored – it really showed us that he only had our best interests in mind. He even made time around our extremely hectic work schedules in arranging times to show us many different properties. We actually even visited our top choices multiple times, as per Jeff’s advice to go over a place at least 2-3 times before finalizing, which really helped us narrow down on what we liked. Most importantly, as we finalized a home and went forward with making an offer – Jeff helped us negotiate an amazing deal! As I moved closer to the actual closing date, Jeff went above and beyond in helping us overcome multiple hurdles (during peak COVID-19 times too) – moving dates around to accommodate the appraisal, loan setup, etc. He even personally made sure all the agreements we made with the seller were honored before closing – we did not have to chase down a single one ourselves. The cherry on the top was that Jeff even gave us brilliant ideas on how to redecorate the place to turn it into exactly the dream home we always wanted. We really would look no further than Jeff Marples when it comes to real estate in the Bay Area – especially since we value his honesty, dedication, and amiable personal touch. We are so glad to have become such good friends during this time, and hope we get a chance to work with Jeff in the future too!

Jeff is absolutely the best. We just finished our third sale/purchase with him and every one of them has been just perfect. In one case, we looked for a place for over a year. We gave him our specs and neighborhood preference and he was patient and supportive as we sorted through places that weren't quite right until we found the perfect place. Throughout the process, Jeff was helpful in showing us an array of options that he thought would match our needs and some creative possibilities that he picked based on his knowledge of our preferences. He knows the market and tracks options coming on; so, we got to new possibilities very quickly. Jeff is very accommodating as well. He would arrange his schedule to match with ours which was often on weekends or during evenings (because of work schedules). He also was good about supporting the whole family.

He is a family guy and understands and appreciates kids and makes them part of the search. When we brought our son along for some of the viewings, he included him and listened to his ideas and feedback too. Jeff also works with the mortgage brokers and other agents and title companies to make sure they have what they need to close the deal and keep things in order along the way. He is a relationship builder and clearly has the confidence and trust of others involved in transactions which helps speed things up and avoid potholes along the way. To top it all off, Jeff has a great personality and sense of humor which helps during challenging times. He is open to feedback and you can be completely honest with him without any frustration or pushback. All of this helps to get exactly the place you want. We could say more, but I think we've made the point. If you work with Jeff, you will be impressed by how well things work on all fronts.

Jeff is an amazing broker! He is super experienced, knowledgeable, and responsive. He’s personable and knows how to get the job done. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone buying or selling! Jeff has helped us purchase 2 properties. His recommendations on price and considerations were absolutely on point, which shows that he knows the market. He gave us his honest thoughts and pointed out things we didn’t notice or considered about the properties. This type of information is invaluable, especially as new home buyers. He was never pushy and let us make the decision on what we felt comfortable with. We would go to open houses and let him know which ones we potentially would like to put in an offer for. He would contact the agent ASAP and go take a look himself. Our second property purchase was a unique situation where they didn’t use an actual real estate agent, which made the process mu…

He would contact the agent ASAP and go take a look himself. Our second property purchase was a unique situation where they didn’t use an actual real estate agent, which made the process much harder since they didn’t know what they were doing. Luckily we had Jeff to ensure both sides had all the proper steps and paperwork done. Negotiations, follow-ups, and addendums were plenty during this process. Jeff saved us from multiple headaches and ensured the sellers followed through on agreements and protected us as buyers.
