Raziel Ungar - Compass Real Estate

My wife and I interviewed several real estate agents before Raziel, but we both agreed we had found our agent before we even left building following our first meeting with him. He is organized, professional, and exudes competence. Raziel is young but experienced, has an outstanding work ethic, and runs a very tight ship. He is also a very nice and very patient person, he was always upfront with us, and he's an all around great guy. He's involved in his community, he volunteers, and seems to know everyone. During our house search and buying process he never steered our decision making for us, instead he made sure we were focused on the important issues about our potential future home.

Our home buying process was not easy to manage, but he succeeded in closing the deal at the price we wanted. Even though the selling agent lost emails, ducked phone calls, and even went on vacation, Raziel and our mortgage broker were able to close in less than 30 days (and we were buying with a FHA government-backed loan). When our inspector found some minor trouble with the house, Raziel successfully negotiated that the sellers take care of it. During our last walk through we found that they hadn't taken care of the promised work even though they argued it was done. Raziel stayed on them until the work was completed to our satisfaction and we were able to move in to our house as planned with no delays.

We love our new home and plan to stay here for many years. However, when it comes time to move on we know who our real estate agent will be!

In May 2023, my wife and I were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Raziel and his team to sell our home in the San Mateo area. We were delighted with the entire process and the end result. From the start, Raziel showcased remarkable negotiation skills, ultimately securing the highest possible price for our property.

Raziel and his teams's unwavering commitment to our best interests shone through at every stage of the process. The coordination and preparation to get our home ready for the market were truly exceptional, thanks to the outstanding teamwork of Emily, Anne, and Angilee. Their thoroughness, efficiency, and ability to make the entire experience seamless and stress-free were commendable.

We felt genuinely supported and cared for throughout the entire journey. The team's professionalism and meticulous attention to detail in reviewing documents and communication were truly impressive, ensuring that everything was handled with the utmost integrity.

My wife and I would highly recommend Raziel and his team for an exceptional real estate experience. In summary, Raziel and his team exceeded all our expectations. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them the best choice for anyone looking to sell their home.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Raziel and his team to purchase our first home in San Mateo. We recommend Raziel without hesitation based on a few key factors:
1. Raziel is highly knowledgeable about San Mateo County and made our home buying experience efficient and transparent. 2. Raziel is professional and has a great reputation among other agents, which translates to an edge in the home buying process. 3. Raziel genuinely cares about his clients and will put their interest above his own.

Raziel was highly recommended by two of our close friends who worked with Raziel to purchase their homes in Burlingame and San Mateo. From our first meeting, it was clear that Raziel has a ton of knowledge about the real estate market and San Mateo County in particular. He thoroughly answered all our questions and helped us set reasonable expectations which ultimately made our home buying process more efficient. We appreciated that he got to know us and understand what we valued in a home so that he could give his opinion and perspectives which shaped our expectations. Ultimately, his passion for real estate eased our stress because we truly felt like we were in great hands.

We felt most fortunate to work with Raziel though the offer and negotiation process. First, his team is extremely organized, efficient, and responsive. We knew very little about buying a home and they held our hand and proactively provided information and resources at every step. Second, Raziel's reputation was the single biggest factor that helped us purchase our home. The seller's agent was transparent and told us that she admired Raziel for his professionalism, and integrity. She could not gush enough about his relationship with other agents and that he is a genuinely "great guy". In the end, she encouraged the sellers to accept our offer because she knew that the contracting would go smoothly and Raziel and his team are reliable. In a very competitive market, working with Raziel gave us an edge, and ultimately, our home exceeded our expectations.

We connected with Raziel because he is a genuinely honest and caring person. We had previously worked with another agent who made us feel pressured into making offers or guilty about taking too long to find a home that we liked. Our experience with Raziel was the complete opposite. He pointed out potential homes of interest but never made us feel pressured or rushed in the home buying process. He was honest with us when he thought something was "not a good deal" and objectively pointed out both the good and the bad in every home. He helped us to go through all the disclosure documents and we found him fair and thorough. Throughout our process, we felt that he put our needs above his own and was dedicated to finding us a great fit.

We highly recommend Raziel and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His, expertise, professionalism and genuine care for his clients sets him apart.

Raziel and team blew us away and have set an example for us when it comes to professionalism, work ethic and empathy.

We are first time home buyers and had little to no knowledge about how to buy one. Raziel was kind from day 1 and took care of all our home buying needs with a heart of an older brother to me and my spouse. Anna, Emily and Angilee filled his shoes whenever he was busy with other clients. He took care of the sale price negotiations and worked with his trusted loan officer to set us up really quickly with all the documents and approval we needed. Because of them we now own a home in foster city!

The prompt and precise communication both verbal and written stand out to me. If we ever buy another house, I know whom to give a call to make it happen, the magician - Raziel Ungar!

If you're looking to buy a home in San Mateo County, the best thing you can do is score Raziel Ungar as your realtor.

As first time home buyers, the process was overwhelming. From our very first meeting, Raziel guided us with the utmost expertise, professionalism, and kindness. He drove us all around the peninsula, helping us narrow our search from multiple cities down to the exact neighborhoods in San Carlos we wanted to target.

Within 3 months of meeting Raziel, we won the 1st home we offered on. One of the reasons we went with him is that he has an extremely high rate of getting clients a home in 1-2 offers. Raziel used his stellar negotiation skills to secure us the home before any other buyers could come in. I really don't think we would have gotten it without him.

He's extremely well-connected - everybody in the industry knows and respects him, and he shares a wealth of knowledge and connections. He gave us personal referrals to lenders, architects, and much more. We wanted to learn more about remodeling, and he shared his own experience with his home (which is absolutely stunning), and gave us so many helpful tips and continues to advise us.

Most importantly, he's genuinely a good person. He's a pillar of the Burlingame community (he's the #1 realtor there and very committed to giving back), and he really cares about you. Even though he works with so many families, he makes you feel like you're his only client. And his whole team is top notch - it's been amazing to have this superstar team behind us.

Raziel is the best of the best. I hope you get to work with him - he'll help you get your dream home, too!

We hired Raziel as our buyside agent while looking for a home in Hillsborough. We have gotten to know Raziel over the years living in Burlingame because he is so active and knowledgeable of the market. From the first serious conversations through closing of our new home, his level of service and strategic guidance was incredibly valuable.

We evaluated several different areas in Burlingame and Hillsborough and we thought we had a plan but Raziel alleviated all our stress by sharing the various pros/cons of each area/property.

We initially bid on a house and he not only put our interests over his own, he was able to give great advice that in hindsight we are so thankful for. He didn't pressure us to increase our bid at all as we were aligned on the value. This is a chief concern for a relationship between a realtor and any client. Raziel demonstrated he has our best interests in mind, not a quick deal.

He then went on the offensive and leveraged his extensive network of realtors in Hillsborough and Burlingame regarding our wish list and found the perfect property that happened to be off market. That's serious value-add as we never would have gotten access to this property nor been in a position to buy it as the market has really heated up. He guided us closely through negotiations and set us up to win. Raziel and his team were thorough in their document review and communication as we papered the deal and everything ran smoothly to closing. He even recommended a great insurance broker that got us a policy in a very complicated insurance market!

In this market where realtors value is being called into question, we feel we got above and beyond what he was compensated and would use him again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Raziel as a top class realtor in Hillsborough.

We loved working with Raziel and highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a home in the peninsula. His depth of knowledge of every corner within San Mateo County is truly impressive, as are his relationships with other agents. This made the bidding process super smooth and gave us access to fantastic off-market opportunities, which is how we found our dream home in Burlingame. His negotiation skills are top-notch; we appreciated how he walked us through his recommended strategy and can clearly see why he has such a high batting average! We couldn't be more grateful, especially considering how competitive the market is.

What set Raziel apart was his genuine care for us as individuals. He encouraged us to be patient; we never felt pressured as he sought to help us find the right home that will be our forever home. He provided an honest perspective that helped us understand how different factors are valued in the market, while also maintaining objectivity and being supportive of our interests. In addition, he was always responsive and generous with his time. Our previous experience with house hunting was a grind, but Raziel showed how the process can actually be fun, which we didn't expect would be possible until we worked with him :) His expertise, kindness, and his passion for real estate are second to none.

We felt supported throughout the entire process by Raziel and his team. Even upon closing, they were thorough and thoughtful in ensuring we had all the details needed from the sellers, and connecting us to reliable vendors to help with the transition to our new home. We are looking forward to seeing Raziel around town and staying connected through the periodic events that he hosts! Thank you once again, from the bottom of our hearts!

Raziel and his team are extremely professional. Raziel was always accessible for long conversations about bid strategy, pipeline of potential opportunities, and whatever came to mind on the buying process. Most importantly, Raziel KNOWS Burlingame, inside and out. If you are thinking of buying there, look no further - he knows the neighborhoods, the pros and cons, the value drivers - he is as good as you could hope for in a partner for the area. We wouldn't have gotten our home without Raziel. Best of all, he is an extremely awesome person and someone who I hope to become friends with as a future neighbor :). Highly recommend for others.

Raziel makes magic happen. He is the realtor that will make the difference of you getting your dream home.

We interviewed 3 realtors. The top 3 in the area. Raziel stood out with his incredible track record, knowledge base, sincerity, kindness and his spoken love of the art of negotiation. We also loved his business centric and white glove approach to how his team could support us in selling our current home and help us find and win our dream home in the most competitive 2021 market of Bay Area history.

Raziel sold our home in mere days. The real thing that stood out for us is when we started to panic. The market had never been this competitive and we started thinking about "settling". Raziel could have easily made a sale off us but persuaded us to be patient, all the reasons why that one might not be the one. He knew this because he took the time to get to know Jake, me and our boys. What our hopes and dreams were - what were top priorities vs. "like to have's".

When our dream home came on the market, Raziel was able to leverage his incredible relationships so that we were one of the first to see the house. While up against steep competition, including higher bids and some "all cash" bids, Raziel made magic happen. With his magnificent negotiating skills and no doubt with the trust he has built within the tight knit realtor peninsula community - Raziel got us our house!!!

We highly recommend Raziel Ungar. He knows San Mateo and Burlingame intimately. You will feel a trust when you first meet him and you will be thrilled you chose him.

I cannot recommend Raziel and his incredible team enough! My husband and I recently worked with him and his team to sell our Burlingame home, and from start to finish, they provided exceptional service that exceeded all expectations.

Raziel himself is an absolute expert in the field. His market knowledge, strategic approach, and negotiation skills were instrumental in achieving fantastic results for us. Not only did he get our home under contract in record time, but he also secured a sale price well above our asking price. His relationship with agents and clear communication contributed to the high level of interest and strong negotiations. He made himself available whenever we had questions and would always name the pros and cons of decisions my husband and I were about to make.

What truly sets Raziel apart is his amazing team. Each member played a crucial role in ensuring the success of our home sale. We had a dedicated team member to support all our vendors, ensuring that necessary repairs and improvements were handled smoothly and efficiently. She had a great eye for items that needed repairs and provided great suggestions on how to get them fixed and our home ready for market. Another team member took charge of marketing our property, creating stunning materials that captured the attention of potential buyers. One team member supported the MLS listing and contract details and helped us with the title company, ensuring that every detail was taken care of with precision.

Thanks to their organization and expertise, the preparation for selling our home was seamless. The level of interest from buyers was impressive. When it came time to close the deal, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail, leading to a quick and hassle-free closing process. This ease came down to having a team member working exclusively on the MLS input form, disclosures, addendums, and supporting with Buyer documents. This made sure we were prepared and ready to finalize quickly.

The attention and level of detail from Raziel's team is unmatched! If you're looking for a real estate agent in Burlingame who truly goes above and beyond, please consider Raziel and his amazing team. They will meet your expectations and exceed them in every way possible. Working with them was an absolute pleasure, and we will recommend their services to everyone we know.

Thank you, Raziel, and team, for making our home selling experience unforgettable!

Buying a house in Bay Area is a challenging experience even if you bought a house in other places in the past. Raziel and his team guided us through from beginning to end. Raziel's intimate knowledge of Burlingame, especially how different neighborhoods compared to each other provided a great starting point and a foundation when assessing each house we are interested in. Sticker prices of listed houses in Burlingame are a mixed bag, some will end up sold at the price, and others may be sold at 20% higher than expected. Raziel is very honest and accurate in his prediction of where the house will land. His detailed assessment and estimates guide us in our decision-making process before and during the offer process. Consistency and Professionalism are the best ways to describe our experience working with Raziel and his team.
