The Battiste Team, Keller Williams Realty

Challenge:
It’s 2009. We’ve lost most of the equity in our home and we are a family of 3 soon to be 4. It was time to make some moves. Maybe…
We needed advice. After all, this is a big financial purchase and no one should go in it alone.
Happy Ending:
Before even thinking about making a move we needed to know our options and how each scenario could play out. Carl made us feel comfortable by asking the right questions and he was always just a phone call away…
Our situation wasn’t easy, but Carl was patient and made it as seamless as possible. We ended up in a home that we could grow into and a unique community where we wanted to plant roots.
Insider Tips:
Even if you aren’t ready to buy, I’d still recommend working with Carl. The ability to talk through your situation is priceless.
Carl has a team that goes by Epic Properties rather than Keller Williams. Other than branding, I’m not sure if it changes anything.
Carl is active in the Real Estate community. He has a number of speaking engagement throughout the year and is a mentor to other realtors.

Carl is an Expert Realtor with many years of experience in the Bay Area. His strong negotiating skills, straight forward attitude enables him to assist you in finding the right home at the right price for you! When looking for a home, Carl will help you get the job done without the stress and anxiety sometimes associated with purchasing your home.

We are so happy with the professional service provided by Carl. From day one he was an excellent communicator with us and found exactly what we wanted for our future home. Carl knows all the details of the real estate industry and gets the job done. His wealth of experience in this industry made it easy for us with all the questions we had.
Carl is certainly on top of things, and trust me, this is who you would want representing you when looking for a home.

I highly recommend Carl! He represented us as the selling and buying agent. He was always available to answer our questions by phone or email. If he couldn’t answer his phone because he was in a meeting or with another client he would send a text message immediately to make sure everything was OK. He sold our house in no time and then had the tough job of finding us a house.
We accepted and offer on our house on a Friday, he and his wife drove us around Danville and showed us 10 houses on Saturday, we wrote on offer on Monday and the rest is history. He knew exactly what we needed to do to get the house of our dreams in a multiple offer situation. My wife and I heard stories from friends of them trying to buy houses but they keep getting out bid. I know one thing, they didn’t use Carl! He knew exactly what to do to make our offer competitive. One offer and we got our house!
Thank You CARL!

Carl is a great guy! My wife and I were in a crunch to find a place as we were in town for a very short period of time. Carl literally dropped everything he was doing to come to our rescue! He has a great knack for knowing what we were looking for, was open and honest and downright trustworthy and sincere! We will definitely use him for all our real estate needs in the future. A real class act.

If you are looking to buy a house or sell a house, then Carl is the man to trust. My husband and I first heard of Carl through my husband’s brother. Carl had worked with them on buying a short sale, and with the sale of their home. Wondering about what steps we can take in purchasing another home, we asked Carl to meet with us. He was very transparent about our options, and did not pressure us in making any decisions. I really like that he wasn’t focused on how our choices could benefit him, rather how our choices would benefit my family.
When we became more serious in looking for another home, he first suggested to show us some homes just so that we can feel out our own preferences. He also walked us through the numbers and the specific steps we would need to take in finally purchasing a new home. We put our house on the market, and his wife, Cindy staged our house beautifully, at no added cost. The staging almost made us reconsider staying at our home. In terms of looking for houses, Carl was really accessible with showing us homes rain or shine (mostly rain), and speaking with us over the phone about any concerns we had. He never made us feel like we were pestering him. He also took the time to really understand what type of house we wanted.
After a couple months of home searching, and a failed offer, we felt a little defeated. I never knew how much stress people undergo when searching for that perfect home. However, a couple weeks after our first failed offer, Carl talked to us about a house that was not yet on the market, but the owners were weighing their options. While meeting with the owners, they had asked him if anybody would be interested in their home. Carl told us that he thought of us immediately, and said that it was a «hot house.»
Across the park — check!
Open floor plan — check!
Upgraded home — check!
Within our price-​range — check!
We made an offer, and Carl was the perfect middle man who helped sort out all our wants and needs. There were several things that the owners weren’t willing to give us, and Carl did everything in his power to make the purchase happen, as well as make our transition as easy as possible. I am really thankful that my relatives brought Carl into our lives. We are now in the process of moving into the home, and moving never felt so sweet.
