Chopper was excellent in selling our home in Oakland. He knew the market dynamics and pricing strategies well. He and his team kept us thoroughly informed throughout the process. Chopper’s support throughout the negotiation process were very helpful as well. We were very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Chopper and his team.
