“These two prove that not all real estate agents are alike. A great agent works like they are buying or selling their own property, which is exactly how I felt when they helped me buy my latest home. I was buying a bank-owned home and they were able to negotiate a price even lower than I was prepared to pay! They worked harder than they needed to, and thats the sign of a great agent!"

The majority of Eichler-built homes are located in the surrounding Silicon Valley suburbs.
Designed in the 1950s-1960s by renown mid-century architects such as Claude Oakland, Anshen + Allen, and Jones & Emmons, Eichler homes are often top-of-mind for Bay Area home buyers that admire the design aesthetic of mid-century modern homes.
Eichler's initial housing developments in Northern California were concentrated in the North Bay, South Bay, East Bay, as well as the Peninsula. In 1962, Eichler made his first foray into the city of San Francisco. Eichler developments in the city of San Francsco include:

"I worked with Eric and Janelle to buy my house in San Jose. They were hard-working, well-informed, and helpful in countless ways. They pointed me towards the perfect neighborhood, and eventually the perfect house. Without them, I am sure I would still be floundering, and most likely would have ended up in a less-than ideal situation. I will for sure use them to purchase my next home, as well as sell my existing home. Highly recommended!"
