Doug Goss

"My wife and I have bought and sold multiple properties with Doug and each transaction has been managed with the utmost professionalism and expertise. Doug is, hands down, the best real estate agent/broker that Ive ever worked with, and I highly recommend him to anyone. Whats more, Doug isnt just about the sale of a property. Hes there for us when we have questions about our properties, or just want to explore options or opportunities. When you think customer service, think impeccable, and thats Doug. We wouldnt consider buying or selling property without having him as our agent"..... "We purchased our home last summer when the market was very competitive and buyers were aggressive with their offers. We looked at many properties before we found our sweet home. Doug made every effort to meet us up at every house we were interested in to do a thorough walk-through before we made any impulsive decision to make an offer. When Doug was not available, he made sure to get his team to cover with exceptional service. Having Doug by our side when we purchased our home made us feel confident that we were making the right choice because of his professionalism and expertise in the field of real estate. We would recommend Doug and his team to anyone."..... "Doug proved to be the best agent for my family and I . We had lost our parents and their home had to be sold. Doug skills at handling our deep emotional situation yet expertly taking us step by step through the process of reports, repairs, pricing, marketing and finally helping us with the multiple offer negotiation was impressive to say the least. We not only got the home sold yet sold it for far more than we even imagined! My brothers and I were extremely pleased and satisfied with Doug extraordinary care, service and support during one of the most emotional and trying times of my family's life. We are very appreciative to find a realtor with such a deep educational background, 30 years of experience and strong ethical practices. We are grateful for such a quick, smooth and successful ending to the sale of my parents home. My entire family would use Doug again and strongly recommend Doug for any real estate related services. Thank you Doug"....."Doug helped me sell a condo in Los Gatos and buy our current home in Campbell in February 2000. He made the process as painless as possible and attended the inspections on our behalf. I would not hesitate to recommend Doug Goss to anyone buying or selling a home"....."We moved here from out of state and were first time buyers in the Silicon Valley. (and were in total sticker shock.) Doug helped us navigate the complicated Bay area market and buy our house within a reasonable price range. Doug's knowledge of the local market and local realtors was a tremendous help to us in finding the right neighborhood and home. Doug and his staff were tremendously responsive to our needs and buying experience. Doug's negotiation skills helped us keep our new house within our price range and work through the difficult negotiations with the then current owners to a successful outcome. His knowledge, professionalism, expertise and genuinely caring about us as his clients made our buying experience outstanding. I have recommended Doug as a realtor to other people we have met looking for a professional and a personal service realtor."....."He is very good at understanding your needs and has good contacts that helped us in a very competitive market. Great personality and knowledge of the area."....."Doug was extremely helpful in my search for purchasing a home. He has a great amount of knowledge about house structure both internally and externally. Possesses an incredible ability to point out every detail of the house along with a good honest opinion on what one should do with the home. Overall extremely helpful and also stays in touch and good contact even after home has been purchased. I recommend him to anyone searching for a home and I will most definitely come back to him whether I look to buy another home or even sell"......"Doug is friendly and easy to work with. He has a vast knowledge of the south bay and the neighborhoods. The full depth of Doug's value to us came when he found out about things that were happening with the house that we were looking at. He researched about the house, and it's systems, and helped us work with some outstanding issues with the neighbors. The whole situation was handled so gracefully that we successfully bought the house, and the neighbors are friends. I would strongly recommend Doug as an agent to help you through the real estate process!"......"Doug has been my only Realtor for the past 15+ years. I have bought and sold a number of homes within those years and I have always trusted him to give me five star service and he has never disappointed. He is very knowledgeable of the entire buying or selling process. He always explains everything to me and gives me great advise throughout the entire transaction. He has always been professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy and an expert in his field. I would highly recommend Doug for all of your real estate needs and you would not find a better agent to work with. On a scale of 1-10 with a ten being the best, I would rate Doug Goss a 10 every time."......"Doug helped us with our first selling/buying process and Im very pleased with all the service he provided. Sometimes this processes can be overwhelming, especially if its your first time, but Doug made this transition as smooth as possible. Any question we had, Doug would always have an answer. Hes very knowledgeable of what he does. Thank you for all your help Doug! We are very pleased with all your services!"......"Doug KNOWS the market. We have worked with Doug and his team on two separate occasions (7 years apart) and both experiences were 1st class. In our recent experience we had a difficult RELO move; his experience working with RELO company and helping us navigate all the extra work was huge. Our home was staged, marketed and ultimately sold with multiple offers; all above list. His decades of experience on paper, were no doubt experienced by my family during this stressful time."......"Doug is an awesome agent. He sold our home in San Jose with great expertise! We didn't have to worry about anything, he took care of it all. Don't pass up on the experience and friendliness of Doug, he will become your friend for life."......"Doug Goss is very knowledgeable on real estate process, communicate very clearly to us as buyers of a new home, knows the market, bay area communities, schools, access to shopping, recreations, etc. houses market value, mortgage & loan processes. Doug was very instrumental to help us narrow down the type of a home we need and what we can afford for down payment, and monthly mortgage. Doug goes the extra step, spending more time even after we closed on the house and moved into the house, Doug took the extra step to visit us in our new home in San Jose, CA to ensure we are satisfied with house, the community, and services we received. EXCELLENT Job and we HIGHLY recommend Doug Goss for your home and real estate transactions purchasing and selling."......"We used Doug to purchase our home in Campbell in 2000. We are still in the house and are happy to be there. Doug was instrumental in listening to our needs, and locating the right property in a short amount of time. Doug delivered on his promise to close the negotiations quickly and fairly. All we remember is how easy the process ended up being. We would recommend Doug to anyone searching for a home in the Silicon Valley. Doug is a person of integrity, honesty, and skill with the expertise and knowledge to resolve any real estate issue whether it's complex, or simple."......"Doug knows the area very well and was able to find the right location and right house for our needs. I've dealt with agents who are just trying to close a deal; Doug is nothing like this. He is highly professional, he is willing to take the time to find the right place, and he will tell you when a house/area is not a good fit. I am delighted with our house and our location. I highly recommend working with Doug and his team."......"I contacted Doug based on a random search of realtors in the area, right out of college. Even though I was scraping the bottom of the market (and it was a hot market!) he treated me like a priority client. We spent several days combing the entire Silicon Valley area, reviewing properties and making offers. I was able to buy a great condo, in a great location, at a good value in an exploding market. More than a decade later, Doug has been there for an upgrade purchase to a home, purchase of rental property, and investigation into special options like REO properties or land purchases. He has been consistently available and responsive, and his support staff is stellar. I have not had the pleasure of selling a property with Doug, but his listings and property presentations have been wonderful to see. His knowledge of the market and all the big players is beyond compare. I highly recommend Doug Goss as first stop/last stop on your real estate journey."......"Doug did a great job of managing all of the "dressing-up" items to make our house attractive to a potential buyer, so that when it was ready to go on the market, it had lots of interest from buyers right away. After the first weekend open house (which he managed, also), we got a solid bid (right at our asking price) from a well-qualified buyer, and the rest of the sale details went very smoothly after that. I give him top marks for (1) knowing what kind of home improvements will give you the most "bang for the buck" in making a home attractive to a buyer; (2) knowing the local market well, both in terms of timing a listing, and what would be a reasonable asking price under the current market conditions; and (3) following through with all the details to finalize the sale without complications. If you're thinking about selling a home in the South Bay area, I'd definitely recommend his services."...... "Doug sold us our first home. We couldnt be happier with his services. He was diligent in finding the right home to fit our needs. Once we were in contract on the property, he and his amazing staff went above & beyond to make sure the transaction moved along smoothly. Doug is extremely knowledgeable about the Real Estate market an all aspects related. He made sure we had contacts for contractors and any other services we were going to need once the sale was final. We would highly recommend Doug for all of your Real Estate needs and look forward to working with him in the future when we are ready for a bigger home."......"I am so glad to see Doug's website. We bought our Saratoga home through Doug in 2008. I have bought and sold 4 homes in the past. Without question, dealing with Doug was the best experience I have ever had with a realtor. He was 100% honest and trustworthy, and always followed through when asked. I hope not to need a realtor in the near future, but I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."......"Doug did a great job with the sale of our condo. He helped pinpoint the areas we needed to fix/update and connected us with a contractor who worked very quickly to complete the updates/repairs. Doug's fees were very competitive and included 60 days of staging. When the condo went on the market, it looked beautiful. The unit was on the market less than a week before we got an offer for full asking price! We were in escrow for less than 3 weeks and were able to sell our condo very quickly. Doug made all of this happen and I would highly recommend him to anyone!"......"Over the years weve personally recommended Doug to many of our friends and co-workers and we are delighted to offer another recommendation here on Zillow. Doug has been our Real Estate Agent for over 11 years. We have purchased and sold homes with his expert help and assistance, and because we trust him, weve often asked his advice before embarking on major home improvement projects. Doug is an extremely knowledgeable professional whos integrity is unparalleled; not to mention that hes an all-around nice guy and very easy to work with. It is our pleasure to recommend Doug for your Real Estate needs."......"I wholeheartedly and very highly recommend Doug Goss for buying or selling property here in Silicon Valley. Doug has completely earned the trust of my husband and I, as well as a number of friends we've since referred to him over the years. (Doug's name initially came to us as a referral from a good friend.) It's so important to find somebody you can trust and somebody who's looking out for your best interests when you're talking about making some of the largest financial transactions of your life. This review is based on 5 real estate transactions: Doug helped me purchase a condo in North San Jose in 1998. A few years later, he helped me sell it and move into a 2400sf home in south San Jose. And in 2009, he helped my husband and I sell the south San Jose home and purchase a similar home in Los Gatos. Qualities I particularly value in Doug: He's a smart guy with a lot of experience and can put things in perspective. There are so many details and complexities in buying and selling and there's so much money and happiness at stake, it's really helpful to have a guide who's done the routine plenty of times and who's been through all sorts of situations. He provides great service by being proactive and very responsive; he stays on top of every question or concern. He is very professional and ethical. I have been really impressed by his fairness and how reasonable he is about all kinds of decisions. He's got excellent interpersonal skills, which make him easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. This also made us feel very comfortable having him represent us as buyers and sellers. He seems to like what he does, which I think helps make him so good at it. :) Without reservation, I encourage you to choose Doug Goss as your real estate agent."......"I worked with Doug on my move to San Jose from Austin Texas. He performed outstanding service from the first visit through the move in. He is knowledgeable about the many neighborhoods of the Bay Area and steered us to the right property for our family. I have recommended Doug to seven friends...all of whom are thrilled with his service."......"Doug was such a pleasure to work with. He has a genuine desire to match families with the right home. He was extremely knowledgeable about each of the areas included in our search and his input proved to be extremely valuable when we were weighing the pros and cons of each property. We feel he went above and beyond what most agents would do not only during our search, but as we were transitioning to our new home and area. He was very responsive and made the process as easy as it could be. He is the agent I would recommend to people I care about most because there is no doubt he would have their best interest in mind."......"As a realtor, Doug just "gets it." When I decided to sell my home, his breadth and scope of marketing campaign, sold my home in 4 hours. I had planned to be out of town for an entire weekend while my home was open for viewing. I actually had to come back the same day I left, to accept an offer."......"I've worked with Doug to purchase homes twice and sell a home once. He is nothing short of OUTSTANDING. He educates you on the process throughout with patience and respect. Doug is also a skilled negotiator. I felt I was in good hands and never had to worry that someone was going to take advantage of me. He knows real estate law like the back of his hand and was able to explain all the legalities in layman's terms, while protecting my interests. When I was selling my home, Doug walked through and gave me tips on how to make my house more appealing to buyers - things I never would have thought of. And he knew exactly how to price my home to attract buyers. In the extremely tough market in 2010, he brought me four really good offers on my home within a couple of weeks. As we were looking at homes, Doug pointed out all the flaws or concerns he had about each home to ensure that I didn't get into a home I would be unhappy with. I never felt pressured to hurry up and just pick one. He listened to what I wanted and we spent many weekends and evenings going out to look at houses. And when we were going through inspections and I decided a house I thought I wanted to buy was going to be more work than I could handle, he very politely agreed and we started looking again. Doug also understands the emotional aspects of the process. He's great at moral support throughout and has a great sense of humor Doug is a model for customer service. He's smart, savvy, and talented. And when you work in high tech, you really appreciate that he uses all the latest online ways to get things done - a website with listings, forms I can sign online, etc."......"Doug helped us by our first home almost 7 years ago. At that time the market was Hot hot hot!! He helped us negotiate a great deal on a great house. Then when it came time to sell, of course it was during the housing slump. Doug helped us get the house ready and we sold it with multiple offers at full price in 2 days! It was amazing. We also got a great deal on our new house. Doug is the best of the best. He knows the area, knows the real estate markets, and knows how to avoid mistakes. Making sure your contract is written up correctly can save valuable time and money. I would and have recommended Doug to many friends and family members over the years and will continue to do so. If you want a great agent look no further."...... "We've partnered with Doug on a few home transactions (purchase and sale) and each one has gone very well- no problems. Doug is not the type of agent/broker that will push you into anything, and gives you a very realistic picture of what he thinks the property is worth. He'll often point out concerns you may not even notice about a property. Doug understands this is a big investment and he wants his clients prepared, and not going in blind. He's built his reputation on his knowledge of both real estate and home improvement, high ethical standards, and his ability to get it done. He partners with ethical folks in lending as well, so you know you not only have an honest broker, but an honest team."......"Doug has been our realtor for over 15 years. We have purchased 2 homes and sold one working with Doug, and for what many describe as a stressful time, we were lucky enough to have 3 excellent transactions all due to him. He is very thorough and does not leave anything to chance, and works diligently with his clients to ensure they get what they want, when they want it, and for a fair price. I honestly believe Doug gets as much satisfaction and enjoyment out of selling/buying a house as his clients do! If you are in the market to either sell your house or you are looking to buy a house, believe me, you will not find a better realtor and I can assure you that you are in for a very pleasant and rewarding experience."......"We had the most wonderful experience with Doug. He was able to sell our old property in less than a week in an average market. He went out of his way to help us prepare the house for the show and sale. He also helped us buy our new property. He was very patient to understand all our requirements and used his extensive local knowledge to show us the right houses in the right neighborhoods. He also used all his experience in negotiating for the house we bought which had multiple offers. Doug still helps us resolve issues in the house if and when needed. We could not be happier with our experience with Doug."......"Doug is an amazing realtor! He has helped us with the purchase and sale of two properties. When we bought our first condo, we knew NOTHING about how real estate worked, or what we needed to do, or what to look for. Doug was so patient with us, spending time to really understand what we were looking for and how much we wanted to spend. When we bought our house, Doug was right there every step of the way. When you're making a huge purchase like a home, having someone you can trust, whom you know has YOUR best interests at heart, is so important. We are so lucky to have found that person in Doug Goss!"......"Doug is an outstanding agent. I'm a repeat client and wouldn't consider working with anyone else in the Bay Area. Not only does he have real estate market expertise, but he also is very savvy on legal aspects of every transaction. He also patiently spent many months helping me find both my previous house and my current house, and he walked me through all the pros/cons of every house I was considering. He advises on what to repair or clean up around your home to help you sell. He even helped me with ideas on how to rearrange my furniture to make it look better. It looked so good when I was done, I almost didn't want to sell. He's also great at marketing your home with great photos (not a photo-less listing like many realtors do when they first list!) and he's very social media savvy so you know your listing is getting out there where people can find it. I sold my last house in less than 2 weeks over my asking price. Couldn't ask for any better!" "Doug Goss is an incredible real estate agent (super agent in my books!). Doug helped my wife and I buy our first place. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire South Bay area and parts of the Peninsula and the East Bay. He educated us about the buying process and advised us on pertinent things to keep in mind while buying real estate in this market. I would highly recommend Doug to any of my friends/family/colleagues for a fantastic and hassle free buying experience! Thanks again for all your help Doug!"......"Doug Goss is a fantastic Real Estate Agent. He has the contract knowledge of an attorney and the business knowledge of an investor.When we purchased our house he uncovered circumstances about the house that we never would have found, and then he took the time to address them and resolve them with us before we moved in. He went "above and beyond" in every aspect of the transaction from finding the house to the close of escrow. He exceeded our expectations through every phase of the transaction."......"Doug is a wonderful Real Estate Agent. He has been in the "business" for over 22 years and offers his expertise and wisdom throughout the entire real estate transaction. I would highly recommend Doug for all of your real estate needs!"......"I would highly recommend Doug for your real estate needs. We have known him for the last 13 years and have been his repeat clients. He and his staff are very knowledgeable, pay attention to details and are very professional in dealing with clients. Doug is great in writing contracts and ensures a smooth closure while buying or selling. Wishing him and his team all the success!"......"Doug Goss is an incredible real estate agent. We are repeat clients. A few years ago, Doug helped my mother improve and sell her prior home, buy a new condo, leverage her property tax bill, and sell some of her furnishings as she downsized. Now that my mother has passed, Doug helped me paint, carpet, clean, upgrade, list and sell the condo for top dollar... And it sold within days of listing! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Bay Area. He has excellent contacts and both he and his staff go above and beyond in there service. I have and would highly recommend Doug to my friends/family/colleagues for a fantastic and hassle free buying experience! Thanks again for everything Doug!"......"Doug and his team performed with excellence and integrity throughout the sales process of our home of twenty years. He set expectations accurately and delivered on all promises. Selling my home was actually a pleasant process!"......
