Joel Schilperoort – Zephyr Real Estate

Excellent service and professionalism by Joel Schilperoort. He was organized and helpful from beginning to end. He was the right type of person to work with on a deal as tough as ours. We were able to purchase a duplex in West Oakland for $ 298 Sq/​Ft. He was flexible with timings and available when I requested to visit the property even outside of business hours at times. He gave me his honest advice which helped me make an informed decision. I would definitely recommend him.

Joel is a consummate professional, charismatic, knowledgeable, gets things done, and generally an enjoyable person to be around. I have known Joel both professionally and personally for some time, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-​notch realtor.
As a professional, my clientele often asks for recommendations to a real estate professional. I never hesitate to recommend Joel – based on the feedback I have and continue to receive. Without fail, I know that my clients are always in good hands when sent to Joel.
For example, a family buying a first home in San Francisco said that Joel was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. Additionally, he never fails to have impeccable response time – which I have experienced myself and have been told by those I know – and he has top notch negotiation skills.
Lastly, Joel provides a positive experience by making the purchase or sale of a home easy through providing solid guidance. Accordingly, if you are looking for a realtor here in the Bay Area, I would highly recommend Joel Schilperoort.

We recently closed on our home in the Sunset and couldn’t recommend Joel more to any prospective homebuyer. Knows the market, was very responsive and really helped us strategize how to make the most compelling offer.
When timing of our loan closing hit a few snags Joel was on it and made sure we got in the house. Very knowledgeable and attentive. We could tell he is passionate about the job and wanted to find the right house for us.

You would be completely remiss if you didn’t have Joel as your realtor in San Francisco. He is patient, knowledgeable, and a great partner in what is otherwise a difficult process. As a first time buyer he was helpful in explaining the process and especially in navigating the difficult San Francisco market. He’s extremely responsive and thoughtful and makes it a point to get to know his clients so he can locate the property that best meets their needs. His guidance and friendliness was of utmost value during the process.

I just closed on my first home purchase, a condo in the peninsula! Joel was a great choice as a realtor. He was incredibly professional and efficient, while also being very personable.
I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started the home-​buying process, but with Joel’s help, I got just what I needed. He assisted me with prioritizing what was most important, found places that fit my style, and worked with my schedule so I could see condos when it was convenient for me.
Joel worked hard so I could get the house I wanted. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends.

I recently purchased a condo in San Francisco. I was lucky to find Joel to represent me in the deal. There are so many realtors out there who just tell you what you want to hear instead of being honest about the situation. Joel had a lot of integrity. He did a great job researching potential properties and keeping me abreast of the market. He made himself available to me for questions and to show me potential properties. He was very good about getting back to me in a timely matter. Joel was instrumental in helping get a difficult deal closed in a timely manner. I would recommend Joel to anyone looking to purchase a home in San Francisco!

I recently worked with Joel in seeking a home to buy in the San Francisco Bay Area. While I was not a first time buyer, navigating the nuances of the San Francisco market made the search especially challenging. If it weren’t for Joel and all the help he gave, I wouldn’t have had a chance of understanding how to properly consider various properties. Joel helped explain all of the intricacies of various financing options, ownership structures, and other legal idiosyncrasies that otherwise would have completely tripped me up.
With Joel being relatively young and still trying to establish his name in the shark infested waters of Realtors, he was willing to work harder and provide far better service than you might get from someone who has already made their millions hawking homes to the Über-​wealthy SF glitterati.
Joel was eminently responsive, even — perhaps especially — in the evenings and on weekends. I certainly did not make the process easy on him, as looking for the perfect home on a budget is extremely challenging in such a competitive market. Nevertheless, Joel was always cheerful, supportive, and helpful.
Over and above his market knowledge and professionalism, I truly appreciate Joel’s integrity. It’s not easy to find someone who is honest and trustworthy, especially when you are being sold a big ticket item like a house. I never felt pressured to buy anything out of my price range, and any recommendations came from Joel seemed truly objective and based on data rather than the commission he would receive.
I would definitely recommend working with Joel for your next home purchase. You won’t regret it.
