Bob & Kat Bedbury, REALTOR | Bedbury Group, Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty | Silicon Valley - San Carlos, California

Kathy McGuckin

Working with the Bedbury Group was one of the best decisions I made this year!

I interviewed another Realtor, however, I immediately noticed the difference with Bob and Kat, they listened! They understood my specific situation.

They brought in their design team and vendors and went to work preparing the property for a stellar showing.

We had 1 open house, 1 “good” offer and sold above asking price! Can’t get much better than that.

I highly recommend Bob & Kat Bedbury. Do your homework, do some comparisons, I bet you’ll come to the same conclusion – they are the best at what they do!

Very happy client,
Kathy

This letter will serve as my letter of recommendation for Real Estate agents Bob and Kat Bedbury, Bedbury Group Sotheby’s Realtor. As someone who has recently gone through the process of selling your parents home, the one you grew up in, can be an overwhelming experience.

I have known Bob and Kat 20 years now. We live in the same neighborhood, up on the hill. I remember when they started together in real estate. When homes came up for sale in our quiet neighborhood, Bob and Kat’s names where on the real estate signs.
Homes were selling 5 - 10 days on the market. They're marketing strategy and presentation was extremely successful.

Bob and Kat’s qualities make them successful brokers. I appreciate their professionalism and knowledge of the real estate industry. They have high integrity, and Kat’s tenaciousness keeping clients best interest in mind.

I have referred Bob and Kat to friends who had great success. Now it was my turn for the first time. To sell your Mom and Dads house was very emotional for me. Wondering if you were doing the right choice of selling or keeping the property. Bob and Kat listened to my concerns and provided answers to my questions in a professional manner. I knew I was in good hands.

Bob and Kat were extremely knowledgeable on current fair market value of the property. I believe they had my best interest at heart, I couldn’t be more grateful. Also there is Jessica, Bob and Kats office manager. I am grateful for her hard work and keeping me constantly up to date on the entire process.

Thanks to Bob and Kat my parents home sold quickly. The process went smoothly and stress free. I couldn't be happier. I recommend Bob and Kat to anyone who wants to sell or buy a property.

I'm so happy to live in a time where there's a way I can leave reviews for amazing companies! We had been interested in buying a particular property for almost 30 years, the owner just wasn't willing to sell this lot. When it suddenly became available on a weekend I called Kat and she and her team sprang into action! The owner took the property off the market again, but It wasn't long before it was available again and we wouldn't have known about it if Kat hadn't been watching the listings for us! They were on top of it and we were able to buy the property! This terrific team works hard and keeps long hours, but they are upbeat, positive, and diligent. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We are just wrapping up our final few months in California. After 24 years we are moving back to Canada. It took us 3 years of planning and there was a lot to do. One thing that was never in doubt was that the Bedbury team would be the ones to sell our house when the time came.
We've known Kat and Bob for many years, we were living in Palomar Park when we first met. They helped us buy our current house and sell our previous house in 2012/13. They sold that house at $300K over asking (a disappointed Bob did not get to negotiate that offer since it was so high!) and negotiated (this time Bob got to do it!) the purchase price down on our current house so that in the end we bought a fully renovated, much larger home for only $40k more than we sold the smaller home.
Fast forward to 2023/24 and we were in the last year of organizing our move back to Canada. The now expanded Bedbury team (Jesseca!) came and walked through our home to initiate the process of getting ready to sell. For various reasons this was not completely straight forward but Kat and Bob stood by us, giving valuable advice, encouragement and identifying other people to help when needed. Meanwhile Jesseca had organized all the vendors, lists of materials and kept the process of getting to market on track. As an aside here, I will add that a big benefit of Team Bedbury is their vendors. The floors, painting and staging are all high quality and they've been using the same people for years (all worked on our previous house too). Not having to find people to do the work on the house is a huge benefit and relief for sellers! Our house turned out beautifully and sold within days for $250k over asking. And once again Bob got to flex his negotiating muscles, doing a fantastic job getting us the solid, non-contingent offer.
Maybe(?) this story so far could have been done by any realtors. But there are things that make Team Bedbury stand out above all others. 1) They really care about their clients. When we were buying our house I asked Kat's advice between 2 that we were considering. She said that she didn't think our cats would get enough light in the other house! There were of course other considerations, but she was talking us into the cheaper house. 2) They have the highest ethical standards, and indeed I was told this by a real estate attorney. 3) they love what they do, they do it well and they get the results.
And while this is our last transaction with them I'm sure we will keep in touch for many years to come.
If you're looking for a realtor they are the team to go with!

I am beyond blown away by the exceptional level of service from Kat, Bob and everyone on the team. I am a fellow Sotheby's International Realty affiliate advisor in NJ and when my buyer clients told me they needed to sell their property in the Bay Area, I knew exactly who to call! The process was stellar and the clients sold their home in very short time for a premium. I am so grateful for the partnership with this California Dream Team! Thank you, thank you!!

If you are serious about your homeownership, then you need a serious team that will go above and beyond to achieve your goals and dreams. Kat and Bob Kat & Bob are highly knowledgeable about the local market and their entire team made us feel like we were a priority. Kat was passionate in helping us find a home suitable for our young family and Bob guided us through the offer/closing process. Jessica is also amazing in creating such a fluid process. Not only did we feel taken care of from day one but after all of the work was completed, they assured us we remained in good hands until our house felt like home. We couldn’t ask for a more headstrong and communicative team! They are the best!

We had already made, what we considered to be, our final move about six years earlier in preparation for retirement. And that remained our posture until we stumbled across the real home of our dreams. We could have engaged with a local agent to help us but we knew of the reputation of the Bedbury Group and their unique passion for their clients from their success on the San Francisco peninsula. Besides, this home was far too meaningful to us to simply leave it to chance with any ordinary agent. We called to inquire if the Bedbury Group could help us, and the next thing we knew we were under contract to purchase our new dream. We’re sure it was a complicated process dealing with a relocation company representing the sellers, but Team Bedbury made it appear to us as easy as a walk in the park. To add to the challenge for the Bedbury Group, we had a home to sell in order to make all this possible. Without blinking an eye, they had us in contact with one of their most talented lender partners with a buy first/sell later program just tailored for our needs.

Of course we already knew that Team Bedbury was the only team to represent us in the sale of our former home. Listing homes for sale is really their speciality and they have successfully done so, not only on the SF peninsula but all throughout Northern California. As we were transitioning into our new home, Bedbury Group was busy setting the stage for the proper introduction of our home for sale. We could go on and on about how working with them is so pleasurable but the real bottom line relative to the sale of our former home was the fact that they sold it in a mere 12 days, for all cash with a quick close and significantly over asking price. No other agent, near or far, has come anywhere close to such record breaking performance in our former neighborhood.

To say we’re delighted working with the team at Bedbury Group (Bob, Kat and Jesseca) is an understatement. If we could give them ten stars, we would!

My husband and I were ready for this big purchase when we contacted BobKat. We were looking to buy when COVID hit and for one reason or another waited until now. The market when we looked (Oct 2023) had changed drastically since and we wanted a team who could hear us out in what we had envisioned without throwing our budget to the wayside.

Prior to the Bedbury Group, we had experience with agents who just felt like they were trying to “sell” you on home after home rather than it being a collaborative effort in finding a home that fit our needs, looked the part, and was within our financial means. BobKat flipped that experience on its head and we very quickly came to trust them with our home buying process because they cared about us as people, listened to all our concerns, and are just so dang knowledge about serious home purchases. They tactfully balanced a sense of urgency while also feeling like we had all the time in the world to ensure everything felt “right” before proceeding. We had toured, made offers, and went into escrow all within the same week.

Another thing unique about the Bedbury Group is their TEAM who are THE BEST and make it their priority to respond to you and see everything through: David Breaux, Jesseca, Zinan and more… they helped us every step of the way. David is so intelligent with all things numbers and helped us navigate this process as informed individuals taking on a big financial responsibility; Jesseca was consistently keeping things responsive and kindly reminding us on agenda items that we needed to have completed at crucial steps of the process. We knew the team had our back and would help us if anything were to be stressful. I would bet that this will be our smoothest home transaction we will ever have. The other side of the transaction was excited when they heard the offer was coming in with the BobKat team. This is just a testament to how ingrained they are in the area and because of how many transactions they have closed, people know their reputation and can rely on them to get the job done and done WELL. We closed just in time to host Thanksgiving and usher in the holiday season in our new home!

BobKat truly made our dreams a reality. We didn’t think we would be buying a home in which we could grow our family, be so close to the nature in the Peninsula, within reasonable commuting distance for both of our jobs, safe neighborhood — living in the heart of Silicon Valley has been unreal… THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
