About Hugh | Testimonials
After being on the market for an extended period, we really needed a fresh eye and a new marketing strategy. You brought energy, enthusiasm and a new vision to the project. From the beginning you had a clear plan on what needed to be done to sell the property. Your ability to coordinate the vendors and schedule all of the work certainly took a lot of pressure off us.
— Jackie Safier WoodsideWe chose you because of your strong reputation in the market. We then developed what we now consider to be a lasting relationship based on your overwhelming knowledge of the market, your professionalism, your passion for the industry, and your genuine ability to care about your clients.
— Drew and Cynthia Norris Atherton
You were able to sell both our Menlo Park homes with ease, allowing us to get the most favorable terms. Your thoughtful recommendations to optimize our sale price and your attention to detail were outstanding. When it came to finding a new home in Atherton, we realized that we could not have been in better hands. Every time we would visit a new street, you would off the top of your head tell us the history of just about every house, whether on the market or not.
— J. C. Sarner Atherton
I was very impressed with your handling the details of repairs, showings, contract hiccups, and everything to make this go smoothly. I and my siblings are very happy with the outcome. I have sold a lot of properties and feel that this could have not have been done any better than it was. I know it was not your most expensive property, but I'd have never known it from the way it was handled, from the first meeting on.
— Pat Fuller Menlo ParkI completely enjoyed working with you. I appreciate the times you drove me around, the "heads up" you gave me about properties coming on the market, your uncensored opinions about the goods and bads of the places we saw, your follow-up to my perennial Sunday walk-throughs, your comments about noise and traffic, sunshine and safety.
— Barbara Goodrich Portola Valley
