Wed like to express our huge gratitude to Devin for helping, educating, shepherding, commisserting, and laughing during our home search.Our friend referred us to Devin when we started our house hunting in East Bay. In the past couple months, ‘meeting up with Devin’ every weekend has become a routine and we didnt even see our friends this frequently, pandemic or in the past. He has a lot of knowledge in the neighborhoods we were looking at and a strong local network. Hes very responsive in scheduling tours for us and answering any question we may have. During each tour, hes a pro at spotting any potential inspection issue and is always honest about what hes sure or not.We expanded our search to SF where Devin referred us to another reliable local agent. Although we ended up getting an offer accepted in SF with the other agent, we wouldnt have gotten nearly this far without Devins help -- 100% no doubt. We probably wont miss the whole house hunting process so much, but well certainly miss time spent with him. For anyone looking for homes in East Bay, we highly recommend Devin to you!

We are first time homebuyers and Devin just helped my family in ~2 months win a bid on a home in a very competitive Albany market, no small feat. Devin ran the process in a professional, efficient manner, and discrete manner (we were in SF, he was in the East Bay). What i mean by discrete is that while I felt that other agents were heavy-handed or would try to make this house hunting all time consuming in our lives, Devin made it a low stress process, and was exactly available when we needed him. He has excellent knowledge of the East Bay, and Albany where we were house hunting (he grew up and lives there). He is a superb communicator. He was very responsive (and always gracious with the occasional unexpected call from us), and seems to sense how a client wants to communicate and adapts to them in the way that makes the process effortless. He is client-oriented, knowing how busy a young family is, he offers to do the little things that make your life easier, and goes out of his way to help you as a new homeowner, and has a great network of contractors. He is also a great listener, and asks the right questions at the right time to help guide you to decision-making regarding topics like pricing, whether to put an offer on a house, etc. House hunting can be an emotional process, and he was so even keeled, patient, and calm, that it helps you keep perspective through the process. I always felt he had our best interests in mind. He is such a talented professional, yet somehow very humble still. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any homebuyer, especially first time ones

We count ourselves as very lucky to have found Devin Ratoosh to help us with purchasing our first home. From the very first property he showed us, to guiding us through the closing process on the house itself, Devin was friendly, responsive, and patient; answering all questions big and small along the way. Given the competitive nature of the Bay Area market, coupled with the complexities introduced by the ongoing pandemic, Devin went above and beyond to ensure that our experience went as smoothly as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the Bay Area.

We had the pleasure of working with Devin to purchase our first home, and he went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had the best experience, including the challenge of searching during a global pandemic. He took the time to clearly explain the process, answer any and all questions we had, and truly knows the East Bay market. Devin is responsive, trustworthy, and always had our best interest in mind.Without his helpful guidance and negotiating skills, we would have missed out on our dream home! We were up against a very competitive offer situation, and always felt that we were in the best hands. Additionally, his relationships with great vendors allowed us to quickly and efficiently work through the closing. Were so thankful to have been connected to him, and strongly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Devin!

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Devin Ratoosh to assist us with the sale of our duplex in Berkeley, California. From the very beginning and throughout the entire process Devin was able to walk us through the often complicated steps required to prepare, market and sell our home. Devin has extensive experience in the Bay Area and the knowledge, resources and the team to ensure that our property was properly marketed and therefore received the best outcome. We were impressed with his ability to utilize current electronic marketing technology. Devin is personable, a great communicator and was available to answer all of our questions. It is our pleasure to highly recommend Devin for any of your real estate needs.

David and Devin helped us sell our home in the East Bay. They are experts at what they do and allowed us to be as hands-on or hands-off as we wanted. Given that wed already moved out of state, they took care of absolutely everything -- we couldnt have imagined the process going any smoother. Selling a home is supposed to be stressful but they took all the work out of it and made it (almost) stress free!

It was a huge help and relief to work with Devin during our house hunt. Knowing we were first-time homebuyers, he scheduled an appointment to go over ALL the key details before we even looked at our first house, to make sure we knew exactly what to expect. He was informative and honest throughout the process, helping us see pros and cons of houses that we might not have noticed on our own. And he helped us secure a great house within our budget! Thank you Devin!!

David and Devin are extremely knowledgeable in selling properties - and they are great to work with as well. They sold our condo for the terms we wanted and we closed in under 2 weeks during Shelter in Place. Devin drew on his online experience and put together an inspiring virtual 3D walkthrough. He was always clear in what was needed, friendly every step of the way and I feel like the whole transaction had the highest integrity. When we talked, he listened and always had a thoughtful, helpful response. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We recommend them without qualification. They sold a piece of residential property for us in a timely fashion without any problems. The property needed significant tlc and was sold for more than the listing price without us putting any more money into it.

Devin is a highly knowledgeable and supportive agent. We were so glad to have his expertise as we navigated moving to a new area as first time buyers, and his established roots throughout the East Bay helped us feel he could truly guide us in the process. He is a recent recipient of the National Association of Realtors 30 under 30 award, and his qualifications were evident from our initial meeting. He is extremely prompt and helped us find a new home quickly and without stress. We are so happy with our purchase—Devin supported us in a tough market for buyers—and we won’t hesitate to work with him again if we ever decide to move. He has our utmost recommendation!

You want Devin on your team! Devin helped us buy our dream home in a competitive market. Devin was very diligent, hardworking and attentive to my familys needs.Devin has many trust worthy connections in various industries to help answer any questions we had about the homes we were interested in. Devin always helped to identify key areas to inquire further about based on his professional experience that we didnt even think of.On a few occasions that we couldnt make it to see a home we were interested in until the last open house, Devin went and sent us a narrated walk through video which helped us narrow our focus with limited time.Devin instilled confidence into the process. He is warm and friendly with his clients and professionally skeptical and unbiased. He took the time to explain his opinions and advice in a way we could understand and felt comfortable with. Our decisions truly felt right throughout the process.This was our second time purchasing and was a much smoother process this time around with Devin.

Devin is a miracle worker! He managed to pull off not one, but two amazing feats of negotiation in connection with the recent sale of my Berkeley house -- making sure the sale got completed in time for a very complicated, time-sensitive 1031 exchange. In the process, he was consistently upbeat, calm, resourceful, and respectful of all parties, and incredibly responsive at all times. His knowledge of the market is very impressive, and combined with Davids experience, made me feel confident I was always in very good hands. I have worked with many realtors in the past, and can say with confidence that Devin and David are among the very best. I would not hesitate to hire them again!

David and Devin, helped us sell an old home in the El Cerrito area. We are very pleased and impressed by the professionalism and the efficiency that they sold the home in.From the beginning they set accurate expectations of potential sale price. Devin very clearly explained how their selling strategy would work and how it would attract the target price we wanted. We ended up even exceeding it!They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend anyone to work with this team.

Devin was a rock star to work with! He was very responsive to any of my needs, concerns, and questions. He showed me numerous houses on a Tuesday, I had our offer accepted by Thursday, and I moved in as a temporary renter on Friday of the same week. He then was able to get the close done in very reasonable time so that I could be an owner in under a month from the first time I saw the house.He made the whole process a breeze and stress free. Very professional!

When looking for an agent to sell our family home, we interviewed four realtors. They were all excellent, but the combination of David and his son Devin stood out from the rest.David comes with years of experience and knows the area extremely well. We felt very comfortable with him. Devin impressed us with his thorough preparation and technical savvy. He clearly understands the value of social media as a tool in todays market.While we were prepared to sell the house strictly “as is”, the Ratoosh team recommended a limited number of renovations. They were very pragmatic and only suggested improvements that would benefit the sales price. The end result of the improvements and staging was a stunning house which inspired a great deal of interest.Our overall experience with David and Devin Ratoosh surpassed our expectations. We have no reservations in recommending them.

Devin’s the best agent we could have asked for! My husband and I were so fortunate to have worked with him and as a result, we were able to buy our dream home in this highly competitive East Bay real estate market.We met Devin at an open house early in our search and we could tell immediately that he had more knowledge about the housing marketing than anyone we’ve met. His diligence, expertise and network proofed to be invaluable once we started working with him. He understood our vision and only showed us the houses within our parameters. He even knew nuances of every street and neighborhood and pointed out any concerns we otherwise would’ve never known about. When we had moments of stress and doubt, his encouragement and voice of reason carried us through.In just a few weeks, we bought a house that was even better than what we envisioned. Thank you Devin!

Devin Ratoosh is an outstanding East Bay real estate agent! My partner and I worked with Devin to find and buy our new home in Berkeley. We had specific budget, neighborhood, and home parameters to meet the needs of our growing family. Devin listened to and worked within our parameters, provided thoughtful market insights, and candidly managed our expectations as we viewed and made offers on homes. Devin was truly an ally throughout the entire home buying process, from pre-approval to post-move in. We feel that Devin had our best interest in mind, was always accessible and responsive, and ensured we had the information we needed to make informed decisions. We were referred to Devin early in our process, and we wont hesitate to refer our friends and family to Devin should they want to buy or sell in the East Bay. Thank you Devin!!

Devin was a pleasure to work with. Highly responsive, extremely friendly and diligent about following up. He made the process of looking for a house in the Bay Area significantly more enjoyable and has a locals knowledge having grown up and lived in the area. He works to form a long lasting relationship and not just move through as many clients as possible which is reassuring knowing that he was on our side in looking for a home.His diligence to submitting offers and making them special went above and beyond and we felt like we had a fighting chance on all of the houses we offered on.I would highly recommend working with Devin and I will likely work with him again in the future!

Devin Ratoosh was our realtor when we moved from Philadelphia to the Berkeley and I credit him with helping us secure our dream home despite a very competitive market. I contacted him just prior to making a visit to the Bay Area to look at homes in anticipation of our move. Within a matter of days Devin had an entire itinerary of homes for us to see on our arrival. Devin, did not just show us homes but gave us a sense of the neighborhoods, the market, and what to expect both in terms of inventory and seller expectation.Devin was very patient with us during the process, giving advice and insight but allowing us to make our way as needed. More importantly, since we were not in town for most of the process Devin took care of everything for us from negotiation to inspections, insurance, to contractors and estimates. When all was said and done, we were extremely happy with our decision to enlist Devin as our realtor. We could not be more pleased with the experience or the final outcome. We would recommend Devin to anyone looking for a realtor in the Bay Area.

I worked with Devin Ratoosh and Joey Wang who teamed up to help me purchase an 8-unit apartment building in Berkeley, CA in November, 2018. It was an outstanding experience! Both were knowledgeable, competent, motivated, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. They showed me several properties, and I think they really tried to match a property to my budget and requirements. When I didnt understand something, they would patiently explain it or find out the answer if they didnt know it offhand. They always got back to me in a timely manner. They provided me with many recommendations and referrals for other needs in the process. They did troubleshooting throughout the transaction, and helped me navigate and brainstorm a complicated 1031 exchange. I will certainly use them again for any future real estate transactions.

Devin has been an amazing real estate agent. We have prior worked with a different agent and have been losing every property we have bid on. This was tiring and discouraging. Devin helped us buy our dream house with his relationships and knowledge of the local area. Thanks so much, Devin!

This realtor was exceptionally helpful, Devin went the extra mile to learn what was needed to sell our home that was in a corporation. He always made himself available for showings and taking my calls. He was very prompt in returning calls to potentional buyers. He kept me informed of the process all the way to the sell. He was patient and explained the process many times and what to expect. He helped me witht he negotiating so it was a fail deal. I highly recommend Devin Ratoosh.
