Declan Spring, REALTOR® | The Home Factor powered by Keller Williams

Declan was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our first home-buying process. He made himself available on short notice for home walkthroughs and many, many questions from us along the way. The depth of his experience and connections were incredibly helpful to accurately assess the condition of our home, offer strategically, and close quickly. Declan ultimately helped us buy a great house at a fair price and we would recommend him to anyone in the East Bay market.

Although I have not had the occasion to bring the Home Factor team onto my side in a real estate transaction, I am quite familiar with Declan Spring and his team. I have worked directly with him on branding photography, and have also become familiar with his expertise and style via professional connections and Declan's market intelligence reports. Everything about him and the team is professional, yet underneath that expert veneer lies genuine care and enthusiasm for helping clients and the overall real estate market in the East Bay. Anyone that gets to work with them is in the best hands and can expect to learn, laugh, and find the best fit for their needs.

Declan and Ehsan are such an amazing team! I’m so grateful to my friend for referring me to Declan. I cannot imagine any REALTOR who knows the Inner East Bay market better than these two. They are so on top of it. You will quickly get a sense of how knowledgeable they are by listening to Declan’s podcast (The Mostly Real Estate Podcast), reading their articles and analysis on their Substack, or touring a home with them. I greatly appreciate the educational approach they take. I am a first-time home buyer so I had a lot to learn, and they were so patient and thorough with explaining things to me so that I could learn along the way. I ultimately decided to buy in a different geographical area, but if I were to ever buy or sell in the Inner East Bay, I would immediately go to Declan and Ehsan! They are smart, knowledgeable, and passionate about the Inner East Bay market, and they also truly care about their clients and want what’s best for them. They are a delight to work with, are super responsive, and stay in close communication. This CAN be an enjoyable process, if you have the right agent. I can enthusiastically recommend Declan and Ehsan and the Home Factor if you are looking to buy or sell in the Inner East Bay!

I’ll start this review by acknowledging that I’ve considered Declan and Denitsa close friends for almost 8 years. We often hear that it’s a bad idea to enter into business relationships with people we know well, but this is an example that proves the exception. When it came time to help my mom sell the house where she had been living for 55 years, I was completely confident that they would do a wonderful job of representing us. All the time I’ve known them, Declan and Denitsa have proven to be very warm caring, and responsible, and just great people all around. They are very attentive, resourceful, and well connected. The house was in excellent condition following my mom‘s complete renovation after my dad‘s death in 2020, but here were still lots of details that needed attention in order to present the house at its best. Declan and Denitsa were on top of everything with contractor recommendations for projects like painting the laundry room, landscaping the backyard, and thorough window and interior cleaning. All the work done was high-quality with very reasonable cost. Declan in particular, spent quite a bit of time at the house taking care of small details. When the house went on the market, they were there to answer questions and kept us regularly updated. The house was only on the market for 11 days, which included two weekends. We received five offers, and the highest was $164,000 over our asking price. The buyer had proven assets and escrow closed in under 30 days. I don’t think we could’ve received better representation in this transaction. I heartily recommend Declan Spring and Denitsa Shopova and The Home Factor to you when it’s time to sell or buy a home.

Outstanding seller representation! Sold my condo in a tough market in 11 days with multiple offers. Declan and team are professionals that know the industry and will recommend what’s in your best interest to get it done. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience.
