Dean and Crystal have years of experience in real estate. This really showed while my wife and I purchased from long distance. They guided us with patience through our decisions and we never felt pressured. We could always count on them to be the experts and they carried themselves with the upmost professionalism. I felt because of who represented us, this did make a difference on our offer being selected in this crazy market. Zack Rattray, San Diego

The Souza team is efficient and effective. They managed and respected our time throughout the process of our change. Most importantly, the team built trust and respected our transactions through the obstacles presented. My family would not have been able to make this move with any other agency. We greatly appreciate and value the time your team put into helping us find our dream home. Thank you Dean and wishing you and your team further success!

Dean, Crystal, and the whole Souza-Better Homes crew helped us navigate our complicated selling process expertly. Everything presented to us in our pre-listing meeting came at just as Dean had advised, justifying our choice to have he and Crystal represent us in our sale. With something as important as the sale of our house, I am glad we chose the wisdom and experience Dean and Co. provide vs. expensive errors and empty promises more common with less experienced agents.

I was there when my friend interviewed Dean Souza to hire a realtor. He was very professional and I was impressed because her condo sold for exactly what he forecast. All of his career experience was in my condo's area. He had been referred by a business wise friend. This has been one of the best business experiences of my life. I would recommend Dean Souza to anyone. I hired him. I was concerned and anxious about getting my condo prepared for sale. He said, "My maintenance/repair team can take care of it." I felt my shoulders relax and was confident they could take care of it. I concentrated on moving because "his team|" took care of making my condo look saleable and did the extra repairs/fixes I wanted done. If I had a concern, he listened, took it seriously, then he took care of it, immediately. He communicated with me through every phase of the sale. Then in 10 days he said he had two offers, both for well over the asking price. I could not ask for better service or a better real estate agent than Dean Souza and the team at Century 21 in Castro Valley. Rah Rah team and thank you. Crystal Souza contacted me toward the end of the transaction before I met with the notary and gave me excellent service explaining what I needed to do to make note that the property taxes had already been paid. Bravp!!!
