About 6 mohts ago we were looking at open houses and met Cameron, showing a lotf in Jack London Square. We were very impressed at his knowledge of Oakland and his level headed approach to the market. He was not pressuring and we chatted with him for quite awhile. (All too many agents try immediately to find out if you have an agent and then push themselves on you, he did not.) My husband and I were so impressed that we kept the flyer with his name on it for a purchase, if we ended up choosing Oakland.

About 2 weeks later, I was chatting with a friend who had purchased in Jack London, as did another physician she knew, and I mentioned our experience. Without even telling her his name, she said "Oh, you must have met Cameron."

Then in late June we were house hunting on the Oakland side and decided that we really wanted to make an offer on house that we had found. My first choice, go to YELP and find someone who represents the Rockridge area. Cameron's name came up. So, I forwarded it to my husband, and they were communicating later that day.

Cameron met us at early or late hours to show us the house, to accomodate our very busy schedule. Arranged to meet with us again to see the house with an architect (at early hours). Was on top of all the paperwork, sending it to us via email with his comments and impressions of the disclosures. Sadly, our offer was not accepted on that house.

But that did not stop Cameron or the two of us for continuing to seek out and find our perfect home. After back and settled from vacation, we started up looking online again for places. Cameron continued to send us listings he thought might excite us. One did. We coordinated, again at odd hours, to see the place. I loved it and SG was warm to it, as long as all the numbers worked.

It fit our criteria, had everything we need and all the numbers worked!!! Cameron was again on top of his game.We put together an offer via email and fax and phone calls, Cameron presented it in person to the seller and agent, and we were accepted. Every step of the excrow process, Cameron was communicating to keep us up on what was going on. He worked to correct little snags and kept us on track.  Escrow closed a week ago and we are all moved in. Cameron has still kept in touch to make sure everything is going smoothly. He has even tracked down some information for us on the house so that we can make improvements.

I have experienced purchases with my parents, 1 purchase on my own before this and my husband has purchased 4 homes in his life. I think it is honest to say, that in our experience, Cameron is the best agent we have ever worked with. Thoughtful, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, dedicated to you throughout your purchase (or sale), and very thorough. We will definitely use him again and recommend to all of our friends and family looking for an agent in the East Bay.

Buying or selling a property can be one of the most stressful events in anyones life, that's why dealing with Cameron is great.  First off, you're dealing with a person and not corporation.  He makes sure understand your options and will work with you to make sure in you are in the best position possible.  Cameron helped me purchase my loft and subsequently has helped me rent it out and extend the lease to my renters.  His personal nature and depth of knowledge of the East Bay make him and ideal realtor to work with.

My husband and I moved here last year from overseas and were motivated to find a house fast , among other things to take care of, and fortunately, we also found Cameron Platt.

Cameron worked hard and was committed to find us the perfect house. He kept his eye on the market and the housing supply and was always contacted us immediately if he found something he thought we would like. Moreover, he was ALWAYS available for questions we had, and there were many since we were new to California (from "do you think the housing market will crash?" to "where's a good place to get a drink a drink?"). His enthusiasm and knowledge about the area actually even convinced us to look for real estate in Oakland; we originally wanted to live in San Francisco. In addition, his legal experience,  abundance of common sense, and good sense of humor was extremely helpful negotiating a tricky (and pricey) market such as California's...we felt well-informed when we finally decided to make an offer...

When we finally found a house in Rockridge (after only a short time), we knew there would be stiff competition from other buyers because of the fantastic location. Cameron presented our offer to the sellers in a way that put us in first position, but didn't break the bank. Cameron made our transition from overseas smooth and as painless as it could be.
