Aaron Derbacher

    • Aaron closed our home in Sunnyvale less than 28 days on a highly competitive Cupertino school district. He was very aggressive in getting the offer the seller. He instructed and gave the right steps to get a home for us. He was extremely easy to work, fast and responsive during our loan process. We are very thankful for getting our dream home.

    • Aaron did an unbelievable job in negotiating a price for our home! Aaron has an amazing amount of connections in real estate. He was able to find us a home off market/not on the MLS that fit all of our wants and needs. After getting into contract Aaron did an incredible job. He walked us through the process each step of the way and was able to set our expectations perfectly. He recommended contractors, lenders and movers that he worked with often. This resulted in great service as well as pricing. 30 Days later we were in our first home!!! We couldn't be more pleased with the services we received. Thanks Aaron!!!

    • I was looking to buy a property in Willow Glen and that's when i came in touch with Aaron. Right from day 1 Aaron started working on the process to find the right deal for me. He was exception with his communication and very organised. He understood the requirements quite well. Within a week he found a deal that we loved and locked on immediately. With his strong negotiation skills, he was also able to bring the price down by 35K. It's been a pleasure working with Aaron.

    • There aren't enough good things to say about Aaron - he's not only a fantastic realtor but genuinely a great guy. He is able to smoothly navigate through any transaction with poise, knowledge and skill. As busy as he is, he is constantly striving to exceed expectations and will go above and beyond for his clients. Working with him has been a pleasure and you'd be hard pressed to find a better realtor out there to assist you with your real estate needs. Who you work with truly does matter!!

      - Amanda in San Jose, CA
    • Aaron is an excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly realtor. He did a great job finding exactly what we both were looking for and that it's already a very challenging task without mentioning the high and aggressive market in the Silicon Valley area. Aaron has great connections, expertise, and energy making him an outstanding and great asset in finding your new dream home.

      - Katherine from Santa Clara, CA
    • Aaron is simply the best! We had been looking for our dream house for over 3 years and had worked with numerous agents without any success. Finally we met Aaron who turned the dream into a reality within just 2 months of us working with him. He listened to our requirements carefully and worked very hard to find us the house in a very short timeline. He never bothered us with too much details and never bombarded us with useless listings. He showed us only those houses which he knew we would consider and yes we ended up buying the 2nd house he showed us. Aaron was very aggressive, honest, and prompt in negotiating the deal and never pressurized us to increase the bid price etc. He always pushed for our interest throughout the negotiation process.Even after the close of Escrow, Aaron followed up to ensure we were happy & comfortably settled which is not common. Agents normally disappear once the escrow is closed. He not only took care of all the things he had promised but also paid for things that the sellers agent had promised.Overall, Aaron is so far the best real estate agent in South Bay Area that we have come across and yes we have worked with quite a few given that this was our 3rd house. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a house. He makes the whole home buying process simple, quick and stress free.

    • Like everyone else whos written a review, we had a fantastic experience working with Aaron. He is bright, personable, hardworking and extremely knowledgeable. He listened carefully to our wish list, and guided us through the whole process of bidding, loan procurement and closing. Thanks to his knowledge of the market and firm negotiating skills, we won the second property we bid on, in a neighborhood that is an absolute dream. I cant say enough about how easy he was to work with. Thanks, Aaron!

    • Aaron went above and beyond to sell our house. Not only did he perform the normal marketing, showing, and friendly consultation of most realtors, he handled everything related to the selling of our house for us so we didn't have to. We agreed home improvements would be helpful to sell the house. Aaron and his team handled doing all of the remodeling themselves! He handled all the scheduling of inspections, work, etc. We didn't have to lift a finger or do anything! Moreover, he would personally show up at our house when we weren't there to handle ongoing, regular lawn maintenance and leaf blowing! I could go on and on. Needless to say, after moving no fewer than nine times with great realtors each time, hands-down Aaron is the best realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with and knowing. And he performed all of this work on our house, which is one of the least expensive in the entire Bay Area. His customer service is on an entirely different level. He went above and beyond the call of duty working tirelessly on our behalf. I can't say enough about how much we appreciate his service, professionalism, knowledge, customer service, and ease with which to work.

    • Aaron helped us to get a home when the market was super competitive. He has great connection with other agents & brokers, as well as handyman & contractors. He was very responsive and explain things clearly in plain English. He worked very closely with my loan officer & the escrow company which made the whole process a lot easier. After the sale was closed, he helped us to repair several issues found in inspection report, and also arranged termite fumigation for us - this saved us a lot of time. We texted/call Aaron whenever we had questions about the home (mortgage, home repair, remodel, city code for remodel, etc.). We really like working with Aaron and I have referred him to several friends who are thinking to purchase a home.

      - Rayna from Sunnyvale, CA
    • Aaron went above and beyond to help us get our place. He helped us every step of the way and still checks up on us. He has a great attitude and is really good at what he does. Thank you, Aaron!

      - Kelly from San Jose, CA
    • Aaron is both very personable and extremely passionate about what he does and it truly shows in his work. We were definitely not the easiest clients as we were looking for a particular floor plan among other requirements all while staying under a certain budget. Aaron stayed patient with us and was able to not only get us a place that satisfied our checklist but also got it at a great price in a tough market. I would and do recommend him to anyone looking to buy a place.

      - Nick from San Jose, CA
    • Being first time home buyers in the Bay Area, we were a little intimidated at first, especially with the bidding process. Luckily we found Aaron who made the process seamless. An absolute key difference you would notice between Aaron and any other agent would be, that he loves to help you, as opposed to being focused on closing the deal. We felt so much at ease - never ever felt pushed, no matter how many houses we saw.....He has great connections, has in depth knowledge of the market and will get you what you want at the price point you are comfortable with. We both are very happy with our first home and couldn't have been more pleased. We thank you for the time and effort you spent with us, making our first experience as easy as it was! I definitely recommend Aaron Derbacher to anyone and would not hesitate to use again for ourselves.

      - Amit from Cupertino, CA
    • Aaron impressed us by his passion, information, and the execution power. We met Aaron on a hot open house, and he wasn't the list agent. When we have some question about a bedroom size, he just said "Let's find it out" and he went to get a tape. Then we talked for a while and he took down our info. Since then he started to provide us the fresh info about new listings, on market/off market, etc. Finally within a couple months he found a house for us and we bought it. Amazing - considering how hot the market was, and how tough to buy a house at that time! We asked him what's the secret. His answer was, "I work much harder than many other agent!" That's true. He and his team are both very responsive and information to handle lots of details. I'll say it's definitely a great experience to have worked with him!

      - Kathy from Los Altos, CA
    • There is no one else I would rather work with! Aaron helped us, literally, every step of the way. He helped us figure out our loan and our lender. He helped us write a reasonable offer. He walked us through the house multiple times and even helped us get measurements of the new house. He would meet us at his office, our house and elsewhere. When our offer was finally accepted he sent me congratulatory flowers, which was so thoughtful. His job wasn't done! He still helped us find a cleaning lady, a gardener, a handyman, and our movers. On moving day he showed up with champagne! We still call Aaron! He is the most helpful, generous person!
