My wife and I were on a budget to buy a house. We contacted some banks and credit union to get a loan. It didn't work out the way we planned things. Fortunately, Jameel was able to assist us in getting a loan. He provided stellar service and obtained loans with great rates. As an public educator and administrator, I value excellent customer service and high standards. Jameel provided and exceeded my expectations. He goes above and beyond. He over delivered on the outcomes and not just stick to what he offered.

As for house hunting, it was a stressful process taking a way time during the weekends to look for houses. Jameel was very patient in showing homes that were within our budget and homes that he knew were within the parameters of what we were searching for. He got to us and our needs to make sure that our interest is at the center of how he works and what he delivers.

For the closing phase, Jameel was very detail oriented and made sure that we did not need to worry about every specifics. He made sure that things got done and we, his clients, were happy with the results.

TO ALL MY FELLOW EDUCATORS, I encourage you to seriously consider Jameel and Ramez when purchasing a home. I highly recommend them without reservation.

  Great people willing to work with us every step of the way, and always in touch throughout the whole process of selling our home. They did so much!

  EASY, EASY, EASY...that's what it's like to work with Jameel and Ramez. They are top notch, top tier, top drawer! They helped us with the sale of our home and guided us through the process every step of the way. They made it easy and painless and (dare I say this?) enjoyable! They are such nice men and have very high integrity. We loved them the moment we met them and would very highly recommend them to anyone who wants to sell their home. They can do it!

  If you want the very best... this team is #1. Honest, professional, knowledgeable, dependable... and always striving to go the extra mile. They sold my home at the top of the market, navigated through a detailed transaction, and closed the sale with ease. Thank you Jamel and Ramez! I'm sure we will do business again.

  For the past few years Jameel and Batshon have assisted us in a few houses (sell and purchase). They are a good team who knows the market. I have always received honest and practical (and not sugar coated) advises from them. They will work around your schedule and do most of the work for you. It's a one stop shop from market analysis to staging to financing to signing papers. They have tremendous resources and have helped me not just buying/selling house but also the construction part of the purchase. You will not go wrong with them.

  I met Jameel a few years ago and when it was time to sell my house I decided to hire his team at Century 21. He made the process very efficient and was super quick to provide feedback and answer any questions. Jameel is a straight shooter so you don't have to worry about being "brokered" with a bunch of unrealistic sales pitches.

  When we (my wife and I) were wondering how to choose from a myriad realtors to sell our house, we found Jameel and Ramez on yelp. Having been a fervent consumer of Yelp all these years, but never a contributor, I decided that I would write one after the selling process. We couldn't be more happy with the service we got. The one word I would use to describe them is - honesty. These guys are seriously the best in what they do, everything moved like clockwork, from deciding to sell the house, to staging, to going on market, to pending within the first week, to actual sale. I highly recommend them, specially in the tri-valley where they truly know the market inside-out!

  I have never liked Realtors. They mostly all strike me as lazy, overpaid people who simply don't look out for anyone but themselves. Ramez and Jameel reshaped my opinion of Realtors during the last 4 years.

In 2013, Jameel refinanced my first home. Process was painless and seamless.

In 2016, Jameel and Ramez helped me purchase and new home in Dublin as well as selling my other home at the same time. Jameel really helped me get everything in order, doing walk thrus to offer suggestions on what work to do to get our listing sold ASAP.

Long story short, I sold my home for over 30k what I thought I'd get for it. I purchased my home through them in a very competitive market for only 10k over asking. Again, the process was seamless on every transaction I've done with them.

I highly recommend them.

  My wife and I were just getting a taste for the market, not planning to buy, when we came across a house we loved. We quickly reached out to realtors we had met and were most impressed with Jameel and Ramez. We quickly found that we would not have any regrets with this choice.

Throughout the purchase process, Jameel was incredibly responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. With home prices as they are, this house was literally 100x more expensive than anything we've purchased together. He guided us thoroughly through the offer, finances, inspections, coordinating various parties, and even with a small rental agreement.

Despite that and our generally cautious nature, Jameel managed to keep us comfortable with the proceedings. This was no small feat - especially considering that we were out of the country during closing! Cornerstone Realtors are a great team; they are great guys and fun to work with!

  First off, I would like to first say that this review has been long past due. So many things have happened this past 365+ days, but I would like to let Jameel and his Cornerstone team know that we had the best experience and after a year+ later, we are still smiling with our new home. I still remember the day we walked into our property at Eden Shores, Hayward. My wife and I were still on the downside from our recent offers that were not accepted. We saw the listing for this home and took a chance. Immediately, upon entering, my wife knew this was the home that we could call home. We first met with Ramez, who was kind and gave us a personal tour of the property. He was able to answer the questions we had and guided us with the next steps. After discussing further, my wife and I decided to come the next day where we met Jameel, who we then worked with in placing an offer and closing the deal. From the moment we first stepped in, to the moment we received the keys to our new home, our experience was greater than the 5 stars Yelp! can give. Jameel was patient, understanding and always ready to answer our questions 24/7. He was very organized and always made us feel that he was on our side and had our best interest during the entire process. His demeanor and willingness to help us out put us at ease and confident during this big transition in our lives. If we could do it again, we would choose Jameel & Ramez from Cornerstone. If you want the best service, no hassle, respect and the best real estate professionals in the Bay Area, look no further. Again, Jameel and Ramez, thank you so much. We were blessed to have you both help in being an essential piece in making our dreams a reality. Thank You!.
