Serafino owned the listing from start to finish and drove it to close even under very difficult circumstances. We had our home listed with for almost 5 months with another agent and with very limited traction despite significant price reductions along the way. In the end, we had to pack up and relocate at which time we listed with Serafino and essentially left everything in his hands as we were 3000 miles away. He practically refused to even discuss further price reductions as he was 100% confident about the pricing and he immediately brought a fresh and innovative approach to the marketing, coupled with relentless energy in terms of showings and follow-up with buyer agents. He was always one step ahead with almost daily unprompted updates and never brought up an issue without also having a suggested solution and approach.

Serafino owned the listing from start to finish and drove it to close even under very difficult circumstances. We had our home listed with for almost 5 months with another agent and with very limited traction despite significant price reductions along the way. In the end, we had to pack up and relocate at which time we listed with Serafino and essentially left everything in his hands as we were 3000 miles away. He practically refused to even discuss further price reductions as he was 100% confident about the pricing and he immediately brought a fresh and innovative approach to the marketing, coupled with relentless energy in terms of showings and follow-up with buyer agents. He was always one step ahead with almost daily unprompted updates and never brought up an issue without also having a suggested solution and approach. In our absence, he also looked after the house maintenance and tirelessly followed up with pool service, landscaper etc. if there were any issues - he even bought and installed additional CO2 monitors out of his own pocket. Buyer traffic and interest spiked almost immediately and were sustained throughout the listing period. In the end, we had a potential buyer who was also looking at another property and who decided in favor of our competition. However, Serafino was not going to let them go without a fight and worked with us to put a competitive offer forward he then convinced buyers and buyers agents to change their minds. He even enlisted our Chinese neighbor to call buyers who themselves were relocating from China. Through the close process, he provided strong guidance and in every step of the way acted as our agent and with our best interest front and center. Sounds too good to be true? Try him and I will be surprised if you are not next in line for writing a raving review.

Serafino is the best real estate agent I ever used. I recently sold my Norris Estate home at a gated community in San Ramon. I chose Serafino as my selling agent because he believed that the house could be sold at a premium with some work on the house(external painting, landscaping, etc.). The other agents we interviewed just wanted to list the house at a much lower price and they did not have the conviction of being able to sell the house. Since my wife and I moved down to Southern California due to a job, I left the entire selling process (fixing, preparation, selling) to Serafino. My wife and I followed Serafino's suggestion in a letter and he was selling the house at above listing price just after one open house. When the buyer backed out on the following Friday, he had another open house immediately and found another buyer on the same weekend. The escrow on the home closed on March …

My wife and I followed Serafino's suggestion in a letter and he was selling the house at above listing price just after one open house. When the buyer backed out on the following Friday, he had another open house immediately and found another buyer on the same weekend. The escrow on the home closed on March 10 of this year at full price. He has a great team that includes contractors, landscapers, and organizers who could really show the potential of the house to buyers. If I were to be back in Northern California, I would definitely use Serafino for all future real estate transactions. He knows the market and he knows how to sell the property. If I had another property at Norris Estate, I definitely would use Serafino Bianchi as my listing agent. I would give him an A++.
