Wes Knapp

I recently had the pleasure of working with Wes. He helped me sell my home and it was a smooth experience. Wes was very professional and flexible with my needs. He was able to put all my concerns to rest, that come when selling a home. I believe because of his attention to detail my home sold quickly. If you are looking for a straight shooter with local market knowledge then I highly recommend Wes. I definitely will be doing business with him again.

Thanks Wes for helping us sell our house. We interviewed a couple of Real Estate Agents and thought Wes matched our goals and expectations the best. We went over pricing, preparing our house for sale, when he was going to have Open Houses, and when we were going to review offers. He suggested when to have the Termite Inspection so that it was resolved by the time the house went on the MLS. He suggested a very reasonably priced stagger that we used to stage our house and she did a fantastic job. We had two Open Houses with tons of traffic and some rock solid offers. From the time the house went on the MLS to the time the successful offer was accepted was less than two weeks and we are very happy with the final selling price. But the selling of a house is a journey with many potential pitfalls. Wes guided us by providing us with valuable information so we could make the best decision for our sale. Any questions we had he promptly provided us with the answers. He helped us to keep focused on the result and not the hiccups. By the end of the process Wes was also maintaining a close relationship with the title company and kept us informed about any delays in the closing process.

Thanks Wes for helping us find the perfect house! Wes was extremely flexible with his schedule, patient with us as first time home buyers, and encouraged questions. As several offers fell through, he didn’t dwell on the negatives and kept us even keeled throughout the process. While we were getting a bit discouraged and questioning ourselves, Wes maintained that the right house was out there for us; and it was!
Wes really knew his stuff too! As a lifetime resident of the area, he familiar with the East Bay. He had a lot of structural/​maintenance knowledge. He was able to point out defects that we completely missed and was informed on approximate costs to repair. It was like having a home inspector with you on every viewing.
We’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy a place in the East Bay.

I had been having a hard time finding a house, until a friend of mine recommended Wes. I have heard nightmares in the past about how looking for a house can be a drag. Wes is extremely knowledgeable and professional and helped my wife and i find a place pretty quickly. Thank you Wes you are the man, we need more honest hardworking people like you in this industry keep up the good work.

My wife and I had a unconventional short sale with a second to work through. We were very concerned about making the deal happen.
Wes knew all of the steps and was very knowledgeable about the process. All of the concerns that we had were dealt with promptly and he helped to get the deal approved quickly. He helped us through inspections and coordinated some needed repairs.
It was great having somebody that understood the local market to guide us through the process. I really felt like Wes was honest and had our best interest in mind.
Hopefully we wont be moving any time soon, but if we do, I know who I’ll call…
Thanks Wes!

The best decision I made in selling a property in Concord was using Wes Knapp as my realtor. Wes was truly professional and went out of his way to make himself available to respond to any question I had during the real estate transaction which took the stress out of selling this property. I felt confident in placing my trust in Wes that he would provide me good advice and expertise in preparing the property for sale and in the handling all of all the interactions with the buyers realtor. The property I sold needed some upgrading and I was very pleased with the contractors that Wes recommended who were very professional and helped me get the property in great selling condition. Wes kept me informed every step of the way in the process and provided me with sound advice on everything I should expect during the transaction. I would highly recommend using Wes Knapp as your realtor as he is very knowledgable about the real estate market in the East Bay. Wes was truly amazing and a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of competent, dedicated, and professional realtor.

We were looking to buy an Eichler house in Concord, when my husband contacted Wes, after seeing his reviews on Unilocal.It is an extremely competitive market for Eichlers and we knew that it would be a difficult process to purchase one. Luckily, Wes stayed on top of the listings and found an Eichler that had not yet been listed. He contacted us and we were able to look at it immediately and get an offer in. Although the transaction became very complicated, difficult and frustrating… due to the sellers… we were able to finally buy our dream home, thanks to Wes. He went far beyond what he needed to, when we were hit with unexpected setbacks. He is a very easy guy to work with and I felt comfortable asking questions and advice from him. I am always put off by salesmen personalities, which is why I’m happy that we went with Wes… he is very easy going yet professional. He clearly cares about his clients and will do everything that he can to help the transaction go through. I definitely recommend Wes!

I found Wes through Unilocal when I was looking for someone to help me with a short sale and I had the opportunity to hire Wes to help sell my house and I am sure it was one of the best decisions I could have made. My house had a few cosmetic problems and I had tenants still living on the premises. Yet Wes was able to handle any of the hiccups that came along. From the very first day when I met him and he told me about how the proceedings will go, to the sometimes daily updates all the way through closing Wes was there helping me understand the process and letting me know my options at each step of the way.
Wes is very professional and really went above and beyond in making sure the house was a success. And at the end of the day I didn’t have to do a short sale.
If you need to sell your house (and even if you need to buy one). I highly recommend Wes as your agent.

Our daughter and family were looking for a house in the East Bay. They contacted Wes Knapp and we all worked with him finding just the right place.
Wes was outstanding! He’s knowledgeable, considerate, and the ultimate professional.
Would we recommend him for someone else? In a heartbeat!

We were selling our house last year in Concord and looking to buy in Martinez. Wes helped us on both sides of it, and was amazing. He stuck with the sale (our house was «one-​of-​a-​kind» needing the right buyer), running open houses and following up with everybody. When we finally found the buyer, he took care of everything!
For our purchase, he went above and beyond showing us houses, working with our schedules. Although we didn’t end up buying (our own issues, nothing to do with Wes), he was a consummate professional! Also, his insight into the houses and neighborhoods we looked at showed a wisdom and insightfulness that we hadn’t even hoped for.
When we look to buy in the future, we will definitely go back to Wes!

Wes Knapp is a consummate professional in the real estate industry who is an absolute pleasure to work with. As a large mortgage brokerage, we usually don’t write reviews because we do not want to feel obligated to write them for everyone. However, we are very happy to write a sincere 5-​star review for Wes Knapp. Wes is absolutely one of the most diligent, motivated, responsive, and skilled agents we work with. Wes is truly exceptional because he is so congenial, straightforward, and honest with all of his clients. I would absolutely recommend Wes because I see the lengths that he is willing to go to in order to provide great service for everyone he works with. Wes is truly a 5-​star Realtor.

Wes was very helpful. I was scouting potential properties for a family member who is planning to purchase property. Wes showed me a variety of properties per the specifications I shared. He was especially helpful in pointing out important features or potential challenges in the homes we looked at. I have recommended him to my family member and look forward to moving forward to exploring opportunities in the area. He was terrific.

Wes’ experience and professionalism belies his age. He knows the market very well and is eager to take the time to share that knowledge. Through the whole process, he never made me feel rushed to pick something and always showed properties readily and with a great attitude. The best thing I can say about him is that in the 4 months it took me to find a house, he never tried to steer me toward the high end of my budget or let on that my starter home search was any less important than one of his bigger sales.

Wes is probably one of the best guys you will ever know, down to earth, straight forward, trustworthy and he wont hesitate to work hard. My wife needed some help dealing with a complication with her lease and foreclosure and he spent time doing research on an area of real estate that was pretty obscure. As a result she was able to resolve the issue and make a smooth transition. If you want to work with a Real Estate agent that really goes above and beyond then Wes is your man!

Thank you Chuck S. for your review of Wes. With all these wonderful reviews I wondered if it was just me, but it isn’t. My husband and I hired him to sell our Concord home based on Unilocal reviews. And we agree with you Chuck that dealing with Wes is indeed a mixed bag.
On the one hand he is knowledgeable and willing to do things that other agents wouldn’t do. He was great helping us get our house ready to show. However there is one key thing that made us decide we didn’t want to work with him any more.
When we initially interviewed Wes he told us that we were going to do open houses two Saturdays and Sundays in a row from 12 to 5. I know this is longer than usual open houses but at the time it seemed great. The first weekend we canceled to do more work on the house. A couple of days before the first open house we received an email from Wes asking us if we would be open to having one agent present Saturday from 1 to 4 and a different one on Sunday. We were not interested. We already have an agent, why would we want someone we don’t know and who doesn’t know much about our house?
On Friday, the day before our first open house Wes came over. I asked him if these other agents were there, when was he going to be there? His response was that he wasn’t going to be there at all. It would be «a waste of my time». And basically the lock box would be on the door and folks could come by and look at our home.
… «a waste of my time»
«a waste of my time»
WHAT!?!
… «a waste of my time»
Those were his Exact words!
We Fired Him.
In all my years dealing with real estate agents I have NEVER had one not planning on attending an open house AT ALL. Why help set the stage and not bother going to opening night? The whole point of an open house is that ANYONE can come in and look, even if they don’t have an agent yet. A lot of folks believe that open houses don’t sell houses, but we didn’t have an agent when we found our home during an open house. So, we ended up canceling the open house with Wes. He offered to do it but his heart obviously was not in it. We went and hired agents we knew wanted to be there as they had asked if they could be there Saturday. They most definitely earned (a soon to be posted) 5 star rating.
Here’s the kicker:
As tough as it was for me to put my foot down it was a good thing we switched. As it turned out as I was leaving on Sunday at 12:30 for a 1 pm open house a family who did not yet have an agent pulled up. And, of course, I let them in and showed them the house. When they were outside in the back yard I called my agent to come over quickly. And this is the family who bought our house!

I worked w/​Wes when I was looking to purchase a condo. Wes was my agent for Concord. Strong points for Wes are: He knows Concord like the back of his hand. He’s flexible and doesn’t mind you working w/​other RE agents in other cities (some agents want you to sign an exclusive contract). He will point out negative aspects of a property that you may not notice. Weak points: He asked me closing questions like «What would you pay for this condo?» when I wasn’t even much interested in the property. He downplayed the negatives I saw in another property. So a bit of a mixed bag, but if you are a savvy buyer and want someone that knows Concord I would recommend Wes.

I have been quite happy with my last house hunting. Wes never pressured me and only showed me properties that met my requirements.

My boyfriend and I just recently completed the process of buying a home in Pleasant Hill and were extremely pleased having Wes Knapp as our Realtor. Wes was professional, knowledgeable and prompt at responding to our e-​mails, text messages and phone calls. He was very flexible with the hours he was able to show us homes and meet with us to prepare our offer. We were first time home buyers and as you can imagine, we had a lot of questions! Wes was patient and thorough in answering every last one of them.
He was also very personable and easy to be around, which I don’t think you can underestimate when you’re spending so much time with someone.
Our home was a short sale and Wes definitely knew what he was doing. He kept us updated throughout the whole short sale process, even if it were just to tell us that there were «no updates». We felt that Wes was always professionally straight forward with us and truly felt like he was on our side. I whole heatedly recommend Wes if you are looking for someone that is competent, thorough and is a quality individual.

Wes is amazing! My husband and I were going through a rough time after we had our baby girl and needed to do a short sale on our condo. We were going through so much and really did not know where to turn. A friend gave me Wes’s number. I am so grateful everyday she did. Wes guided us through the short sale process and made it as painless as possible for us. Our condo sold rather quickly and he made sure we understood everything that was part of the process. When ever we had a question we were able to call him right away and he always would be able to give us a answer.
Once we get back on our feet, we will be contacting Wes right away to help us look for our next home.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Wes Knapp. My boyfriend was looking for a home to purchase and Wes was his realtor. I would go and look at the homes with them and Wes was always had a smile on his face. This was my boyfriends first experience in buying a home and believe me, it was a very stressful experience for him. Wes however, made the experience as painless as possible. He was always personable and very easy to work with. Wes was not only very knowledgeable about the homes he showed us but also VERY accommodating, extremely patient, and most importantly NOT the least bit pushy. Wes always had his best interest in mind and when things got a little frustrating he always put him at ease. Wes always gave him a 110% and I have no doubt that he’ll do the same for all his clients.
I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the easy bay. 5 stars across the board for Wes Knapp, he’s your guy!
