"Terel was recommended to me by a close friend as I joined the market looking to buy my first house. We arranged a meeting, and I made it clear that I was looking for a rather intensive search and that I’d ask a lot of questions. He was able to reassure me that he was the man for the job and boy was he ever. The consummate professional, Terel was able to aggressively steer me in the right direction and provided constant feedback on the houses I was looking at. I didn’t know the system, he did. I didn’t know appropriate bid amounts, he did. I didn’t know what details to look for, he did. I didn’t understand the tax implications, he did. I didn’t know how to comp a house’s value, he did. I didn’t know how to handle a poor listing agent, he did. I had questions nearly every day of our search, and Terel had answers for me. He utilized other trusted agents and coordinators to provide quicker service and information than other home buyers could get from their agents. There never failed to advise me against a house if he felt it wasn’t what I was looking for or the price was wrong. These advantages led me to the right house and the right price in a market where houses were flying off the market at $100,000 over asking. Half a year after my purchase, I’m thrilled with the experience and my home. Since my purchase, I have actively promoted Terel’s services to a number of friends looking to buy homes. I told them that if they want an effective man of integrity, Terrel Beppu is the agent for them. When you are spending the type of money that a house costs in the Bay Area and you aren’t a pro yourself, you simply have to rely on someone else, and trust is the key component. I trusted Terrel, and he delivered as an agent and friend."

"Terel is a phenomenal real estate agent and was such a trusted partner for us. Buying a house in March 2020 was a bit stressful, to say the least, but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Terel was there with us every step of the way. He was direct and honest with his own perspective, and yet very attuned to our emotions and needs. With everything happening in the world at that point in time, we naturally had fears and anxiety about the unknown. It gave us a lot of trusts that Terel was upfront about what he knew and didn’t know. His understanding of the overall real estate market, his deep familiarity with the Bay Area, and his empathy and care for us as people…all of that was what made us so confident in our decision and timing. This kind of expertise, EQ, and transparency is what’s most important to me and my husband, and is always how I assess who I want to work with. Now we are settled in our dream home, thanks to Terrel. It’s too bad we don’t get to buy a house more often! I would choose to work with him again and again."

"When my fiancée and I began our search for our first home, we were having a tough time choosing Realtor® because my fiancée is very picky and only wants to work with people of quality that come highly recommended.

"When my fiancée and I began our search for our first home, we were having a tough time choosing Realtor® because my fiancée is very picky and only wants to work with people of quality that come highly recommended. After a few months of searching, Terel was recommended to us by a family friend. When I finally gave him a call, he told us that he’d be in the area for another meeting and that he could meet us at our rental that night for a first meeting. We instantly clicked and knew that we found our Realtor®. Over the next few months, Terel was always super helpful and gave us great advice as we looked at house after house that weren’t quite right for us. When we finally found OUR house Terel worked quickly to ensure that we got our offer on the same night and we had our offer accepted by the next morning! During closing, Terel had a previous engagement across the country, but he was always available and worked with us and the sellers to get the closing done efficiently as possible. Throughout the entire process, it felt as if we were his only clients (though I know he’s super busy!) because he gave us so much attention and care. I can’t say enough good things about him!"

"Terel Beppu was referred to my wife and me by our tax accountant. Right off the bat, we knew we found our Realtor®r. Terel is the consummate professional: ethical, polite, well-spoken, listens, knows his business, treats others with respect, and even wears a suit and tie (except when he was power washing our patio). After knowing him for only a short amount of time, we were confident with his advice and his negotiation skills. Even when we had an offer with a “difficult” buyer, Terel maintained his professionalism and was able to be stern without being confrontational. Terel took time to get to know us, what we wanted, and where we would and would not give in. As a result, we eventually negotiated a ‘win-win’ transaction with buyers where everyone was happy. I will recommend Terel as a Realtor® to my friends."
