The Talis Team - Los Altos, California

Mark S.

We recently rented out our very unique Santa Clara Victorian through The Talis Team. Michael guided us through every step including writing up the lease agreement, advice on price range, writing up our Ads, posting them on key sites, shooting a video tour, and even advising us on cleanup and staging. Our house is not very typical and finding just the right tenant required an extremely high skillset (people skills, real estate knowledge, historical charm isn't for everyone). Never a complaint giving many tours, always shared the latest feedback so we could make the appropriate tweaks in our offering. Michael responded right away even on weekends to my ideas and questions. He's a straight shooter and will let you know his thoughts to get to the best outcome. I give the Talis Team a huge thumbs up and plan to use their many services again!

My husband and I worked with The Talis Team for our home purchase in San Jose. They are very experienced in home buying and selling, and we got advice on strategies to navigate our offer and negotiation process. Michael partnered with us closely as our primary agent and is very thorough. We got connected to competitive bankers and other resources to aid our home purchase. We are pleased with the partnership and love our new home!

I recently purchased a house with the help of Michael Talis - he was excellent throughout the process, helping me to select, make an offer and close on a house that I am quite happy with! He even found me a contractor to do some plastering and painting within a week of my asking! - A world-class Pro!

The Talis team made our home buying process very smooth. We met Elena and Michael during a random open house in one of the area we were looking to buy and decided to book an appointment in their office in Los Altos. They answered all our questions and addressed any concerns we had about this process. They are very experienced and knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Bay area. They recommended us several mortgage brokers that we ended up picking from. We met Elena and Michael many times in such a short time, they were always very professional and available to help us in moving forward quickly in the process. Overall we had a great experience with the Talis team and could not be happier about our new home.
We would be happy to recommend them to friends and anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property in the Bay area!

Michael and Elena helped us sell our condo quickly for the price point we were looking for with staging, photography, marketing, listing and offers all in one week. They also navigated a challenging home purchase with their creative problem solving and collaboration skills so that all parties were happy with the transaction. We would love to work with them again and are sending friends and family their way.

Exemplary Realtors - Talis Team Made Our Selling Journey a Dream!

I can't begin to express how grateful we are to Talis Team, specifically Michael Talis, for their incredible support and dedication in selling our residential home in the heart of Silicon Valley. From the very beginning to the final closing, Talis Team exceeded all expectations, making the selling process seamless and stress-free.

Our home's location in the Bay Area, near Apple and Google offices, presented a unique opportunity and challenge, but Talis Team navigated it effortlessly. From the moment we met them, their professionalism and enthusiasm were evident, reassuring us that we were in excellent hands.

One of the standout features of Talis Team's service was their collaboration with a remarkable home staging company. The home staging had an impeccable taste, creating a captivating and inviting environment that showcased the property's true potential. We were thrilled to learn that the staging services were provided free of charge - an invaluable perk!

As we were moving out of state, Talis Team went above and beyond to assist us with the move, providing boxes and helpful guidance throughout the process. Their dedication and support extended beyond the call of duty, making us feel like we had a team of friends at our side.

One of the most impressive feats was Talis Team's negotiation skills. They worked tirelessly to secure a rent-back arrangement with the buyer, providing us with a seamless transition as we prepared to move to our new location. This attention to detail and understanding of our needs truly set them apart.

Above all, the outcome of our home sale exceeded our wildest dreams. With Talis Team's expert guidance and marketing strategies, we received an offer that far surpassed the asking price. We were thrilled with the results and couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Talis Team to anyone looking to sell their home. Michael and the entire team are not only knowledgeable professionals but also compassionate and genuine individuals who prioritize their clients' needs above all else. They have truly mastered the art of real estate and made our selling journey an absolute dream!

Michael from the Talis Team in Palo Alto and Los Altos was SO helpful! My husband and I bumped into him at a condo's open house several months before we were ready to buy, and we ended up being really glad that we saved his card for the future 🙂

He is a super patient, trustworthy, very knowledgeable real estate agent, and he always takes the time to explain things. We both really appreciate how honest and kind he is--he never rushed us into anything. We were first-time home-buyers, and needless to say, we would have been totally lost without Michael's help. He helped us find a place that totally matched what we were looking for, and we absolutely love our new home! Ultimately, it was a really pleasant experience, and we'd happily work with the Talis Team in the future!

The Talis team rocks! Michael and Elena helped us to lock down a deal for our dream house at a price that we wouldn't believe we could get at first. Even more impressively, they responded quickly and managed all the details of making an offer and negotiation while they were out of town attending a seminar by working extra hours early in the morning and late at night over the weekend. They also spend extra time visiting the property and checking all items very carefully. As second time home buyers, we have lots of expectations and preferences, and the Talis team has always been very patient, knowledgable, and professional. We'd highly recommend Elena and Michael to anyone who's looking for a five-star buying experience.
