Richardo is an excellent realtor! He will get you through the home selling process every step of the way. His professionalism and honesty along with his advice and solutions make the process headache and worry free. I cannot say enough good things about him. 2023
I found Ricardo V. during a google search of realtors in the SF/Bay Area. My husband and I are grateful to have met Ricardo after my initial call to him 3 months prior. Imagine the level of stress I endured when we received the short orders to relocate from NYC. Needless to say my anxiety was out the roof. I called him in desperation, seeking advice and recommendations of areas to consider. He assisted us beyond measure, periodically calling us with pertinent information, referrals and options for us to consider. He assisted my husband and I beyond measure. Ricardo goes above and beyond the spectrum of his profession. The level of communication, knowledge and professionalism is unmeasurable, beyond anything Ive ever experienced. If you are a buyer, seller or investor Ricardo is the way to go!!! Trust me!! 2023
My wife and I have done almost 3.5 million dollars worth of business via Ricardo through Sequoia Real Estate. That experience has been delightful. Ricardo is a powerful negotiator and extremely professional, yet remains down to earth with is clients. We went through the process many times with Ricardo and he has been patient and not once pressured my wife or I on a purchase/sale. It's not about his bottom line, but rather getting you what you want. He has shown this time and time again, even telling us to walk away from lucrative deals because we weren't happy. That kind of commitment is something hard to find from a real estate broker. I look forward to building a real estate empire exclusively leveraging Ricardo. A small part of me regrets showing proof of this gem to others, but he has just been too good to us for me not to.
A five-star rating doesn't do Ricardo and Sequoia Real Estate justice! He's a 10-star agent who works extremely hard for the benefit his client. He recently managed the sale of my fixer-upper home in Pinole and he brought his deep real estate experience and knowledge of the current market to the listing resulting in a highly profitable sale for me and my family. The outcome certainly exceeded my expectations. Ricardo, his Sequoia team, and other third parties involved in preparing my home for the sale were all top-notch, professionals. Please don't hesitate to choose Ricardo for your real estate needs. His guidance throughout the sale was invaluable, always communicating timely, and meticulous with his follow up. He truly does put his clients first! 2021
Lisa and Ricardo are amazing. We had a house to sell which was in probate, and Lisa and Ricardo made the transition as smooth as could be. We had the house sold in a month and they handled everything. 2021
Ricardo Velazco, Managing Partner of Sequoia Real Estate has known my husband for over 20 years. They recently reconnected when we were looking for a top notch agent to help us both sell our current home and buy our new one. Ricardo is professional, knowledgeable, savvy AND fun to work with. He has amassed an amazing team of experts which helped us with staging and inspections. With his expertise, we listed our home in 13 days and sold it (well over list price) in less than 10 days!! In addition, he helped us navigate the complex "brand new construction" world and acted as a skilled mediator when needed. Every step of the way we felt taken care of and highly valued. He respected our time constraints (we have two young kids) and always had time for our calls or texts. We are absolutely thrilled to move into our brand new home next week! We give Ricardo Velazco and Sequoia Real Estate our highest recommendation! 2020
We could not have been happier with the amazing service provided by Ricardo Velazco and his Team. We are first time homeowners and what is normally a stressful experience, was made easy with Ricardo guiding us through every step of the way. Ricardo was responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable. When initially looking in the Benecia area, Ricardo spent a Saturday afternoon touring my husband and me around town. Once we found our perfect first home, we closed escrow in less than 30 days! If you are looking for an honest agent who has your best interest at heart, Ricardo is the best fit. He is our real estate agent for life. I would definitely recommend Ricardo for your home buying or selling needs. 2019

Amazing realtor! I met Ricardo when he was helping my mom sell her house about a year ago. He did such an amazing job really made sure that we got the most for her home. He made sure to walk us through the whole process, including what should be fixed or changed to sell the home, and the staging. I knew if I was to buy or sell my home I was going to work with him. So, I did! Our family needed a bigger home so we decided to buy and sell. We knew it was going to be difficult because we have kids, but he sure did make the process easy. We had an offer for our home on the 1st pre-open house.... that was crazy! We also ended up finding a home which he made sure every inspection and safety issue was covered before we purchased, which meant a lot because of our kids. Everything fell into place. I have already recommended friends / family to him and will definitely not use any other realtor. Our family considers Ricardo a friend, not just our realtor!!!! 2019
I am pleased to write the highest of recommendations for Ricardo Velazco, owner of Sequoia Realty in Pinole, CA. Selecting the best realtor, to sell my home, was the most important part of the entire process. After interviewing several professionals, I selected Ricardo. His unique blend of experience in finance and real estate has paved the way for his success; however, that is not the reason I chose him to sell my home. He is a honest and perceptive individual with a high degree of integrity. He is considerate of the needs of his clients and values their input. He is responsive whenever clients pose questions. His communication skills are impeccable. He displays grace, the power of presence and great attention to detail when negotiating. He genuinely cares about the "house" where you created "home sweet home." He will treat it as his own! 2018
Ricardo delivered on everything he had promised. He is easy to work with, always candid and honest. His advice and guidance in preparation for selling was spot on. He really knows his stuff. Ricardo had an answer or solution for every question or problem. The entire transaction went smoothly and I would not hesitate to use his services in the future. 2018
