While he may look like any other Realtor, that's where the comparison stops according to his clients. "After talking to Howard for just a few minutes I could detect the passion he has for his profession and the commitment he makes to his clients to ensure an outstanding outcome whether they are buyers or sellers".
"When Howard came to our home for a market evaluation he made several suggestions that we hadn't even thought about. Having met with several Realtors prior to Howard's visit, it was obvious to my husband and myself who we wanted to represent us. As busy Silicon Valley professionals, one aspect of Howard's program that really appealed to us was his willingness to coordinate the preparation of getting our home ready for sale. This included getting bids for painting, carpet and vinyl, yard clean-up and staging. He even supervised all of the preparation. We can't believe how easy he made the whole process. We know that the improvements that he recommended and implemented resulted in a higher sale price for our home. We strongly recommend Howard to our friends and acquaintances".
"We met Howard at Open House. While the house we had open was not for us, we started talking about our difficulties in finding a home. I was impressed with his approach, his philosophy of his role and knowledge of the market and what was for sale. He offered to put us on his automated home search program, which e-mailed us daily all the new listings which met our search criteria. That was great, Howard would either call us about new listings or we would call him if there were something we wanted to see. After three weeks we found our home. Howard guided us in writing our offer and the sellers chose our offer over other competing offers. The escrow process was uneventful and we are now settling in our new home, which we love dearly. Thank you Howard, we're thankful we met you".

Testimonials from my clients
"When we hired Howard Bloom to sell our townhouse, he pledged to make the process as easy for us as he could. He kept that promise and handled every detail to our complete satisfaction - from the endless paperwork, to the inspections, to dealing with our homeowner's association, to handling countless unexpected issues that arose. He was an excellent communicator and his constant cheerful disposition really helped minimize our stress. Howard is truly a full service Realtor. We highly recommend him."
