From the moment I first reached out to Jose in 2016 to inquire about listing a property my wife and I owned in Oakland, the level of professionalism and communication received from Jose was unmatched in all my 30-plus years when dealing with people in the resale real estate industry . My wife and I had owned a portfolio of over ten (10) properties (single and multi-family) in Oakland for ten plus years, and we were looking for an agent who could educate us not only on the market, but also to smoothly effectuate a trade into several multifamily propeties. This can be a complicated process, as timing and communication are essential to achieve success.
In our discussions with Jose he shared his detailed valuation for each property, as well as evaluated and analyzed the competitive market set for each property. He was thoughtful, thorough and punctual in his analysis.
As Jose gained our trust, not only through his professionalism but just as important through his results, we engaged with him to market and sell more of our assets. I would say Jose’s strongest quality is his ability to communicate clearly and timely on all manners real estate. Furthermore, Jose was a pleasure to work with. His positive nature and his ability to work through problems as they arose helped me and my wife navigate through several challenging issues on a couple of the propeties.
Overall, I would rate our experience with Jose Cervantes as excellent. His educational background, market knowledge, infectious personality and unparalleled professionalism were the qualities that most resonated with us in working with Jose over the past five plus years.
We would highly recommend Jose!

Jose gave me great advice on how and when to present my condo for sale to obtain maximum selling potential. We sold on March 6th - between March 10-13 the pandemic hit the US. We had lots of delays due to the banks because of Covid19 , but Jose kept in touch every step of the way. During one of the delays, I found the house of my dreams. Jose then switched gears again and organized everything to complete the selling and the buying during a pandemic without a hitch. If you take his advice, as I did, you're end up with a pocketful of money and your dream home.

I came across Jose Cervantes' profile after having talked to a few realtors, and I have to say that Jose over delivered on my expectations. Jose was professional throughout the home purchase transaction, and was always available to answer questions and concerns that came up during the process. Jose's interpersonal and negotiation skills secured us a good solid deal. I highly recommend Jose and Cervantes & Associates to anyone who is looking a realtor who is professional, ethical and responsive.
Bonus points for using DocuSign during the process, made this process much smoother.
Thank you Jose and Cervantes & Associates.

Jose was such a joy to work with. He was referred to us and I'm so glad we had the pleasure of having him as our realtor. He was very attentive and always helped answer any questions we had no matter what time or day it was. He was extremely knowledgeable and honest when it came to finding the perfect house for us, which we really appreciated. It never felt like he was trying to sell us, you just knew he wanted us to find a home. He kept us in the loop throughout the entire process and did everything he could do to help us. We ended up finding our perfect first home and couldn't be more grateful for Jose. Thank you, Jose, for everything and we would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

Jose is a leader in the real estate industry. His leadership is one of a kind. Jose helped me buy my first home throughout the entire process; from the day I put my name on the list to the day I received my keys. I was able to call him any time and all the time and he was there for me to listen, give me advice, and to point me in the right direction. For that I thank you Jose and recommend that anyone looking to buy a home includes you in their decision-making process.
