WHY COLDWELL BANKER - WHAT OUR AGENTS SAY
"Jeff is invaluable as an assist with the complexities of our real estate transactions.
His background as a real estate attorney shows up!
Once we step out of the written language in the contracts, usually during negotiations, he provides the exact sentence or two that flawlessly completes the transaction.
And since he picks up the phone day and night I no longer get calls from the new agents. They just call him directly.
He is a valuable asset to my success."
Laura Abrams, CB Orinda REALTOR
"When realtors are searching for a brokerage to join, they need look no further than Coldwell Banker, and, more specifically, the Orinda office, which has been managed for the past seven plus years by Jeff Gillett. Jeff's leadership skills, his relationships with his loyal agents, his decades of experience both selling and managing, along with his legal background (he has his JD), allows him the ability to approach the myriad issues that so often arise in our business with a professional level of expertise and patience, slowing everything down to get a better read. He parks emotion, panic, and fear to the side and replaces it with a measured and reasoned approach, often injecting humor, all while helping to keep the challenging deals on track.
He has been a resource for all of us since the day he came aboard. He isn't out there selling, he remains available to us via phone or face-to-face, providing us the prompt response so often required.
I have rejected numerous requests to leave our firm because of the leadership provided by Jeff and the unlimited resources available through Coldwell Banker. I encourage anyone searching for a place to hang their license to contact me or Jeff directly to set up an appointment. It is a great place to begin, or continue, your Real Estate career"
