The Best REALTOR in Silicon Valley

If you’re buying or selling a home in Silicon Valley, you already know how competitive and complex this market can be. With home prices among the highest in the country, bidding wars, and ever-changing economic conditions, having the right real estate agent on your side is critical. Often times, literally millions of dollars are at stake, and making a mistake when selling your home could potentially cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars – or more. That’s why when you’re looking to sell your home here, it is crucial that you choose the best REALTOR in Silicon Valley.

I’m Seb Frey, and – forgive the presumption – I am the best REALTOR® in Silicon Valley. And it’s not just because of my decades of experience and exceptional results, but because I go above and beyond for my clients every single time – in ways that you won’t expect, but will very much appreciate. But don’t take my word for it — I want to show you exactly what makes me different, why my clients trust me, and how I can help you exceed all expectations in Silicon Valley’s ultra-competitive real estate market.

What Makes Someone the Best REALTOR in Silicon Valley?

A great Silicon Valley real estate agent isn’t just someone who has an unblemished salesperson’s license and drives a nice car. The best REALTOR®s have a unique blend of experience, negotiation skills, and personal dedication that allow them to consistently outperform the competition and get better results for their clients. But the very best REALTOR® in Silicon Valley does it at a level that is demonstrably superior to the second best.

Here’s what truly sets a top Silicon Valley REALTOR® apart—and why I am the best in every way:

1. I am completely different from every other REALTOR®

Do you have a nagging suspicion that all REALTOR®s are the same? I wouldn’t blame you if you did – because all REALTOR®s say and do pretty much the same things as all the others. There is no other REALTOR® in Silicon Valley – or northern California, for that matter – that works the way I do. There is just no comparison at all in the approach that I take versus every other REALTOR® out there. I understand my job in a way that other real estate agents do not. My job is to make you rich in real estate.

My work product is the tens and quite possibly hundreds of thousands of extra dollars that you will get by choosing to work with me, after all fees and costs, more than you’ll get by working with any other agent or selling your home any other way.

If getting much, much more money for your home is of interest to you – along with an amazing, hassle-and-drama-free experience – I am, without a doubt, the best REALTOR® in Silicon Valley to help you sell your home here.

2. Deep Local Market Knowledge

I’ve been working in Silicon Valley real estate for over two decades, which means I’ve lived through every market cycle—booms, recessions, and everything in between. I know the patterns, trends, and data-driven insights that help my clients make the smartest possible decisions.

But more important than that, I know what buyers will pay for – and what doesn’t matter to them. That means I save you time and money by skipping the misguided home preparation work that so many Silicon Valley real estate agents and brokers insist their clients do, to their detriment. I will help you identify and hone in on just those items which will make you money.

3. An Unbeatable Marketing Strategy

I have an absolutely unbeatable marketing strategy that no other Silicon Valley REALTOR® has. It will, without a doubt, guarantee you of selling your home for the absolute highest price the market will bear – which will be tens or sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars more than any other REALTOR® could get you. That’s because many real estate agents allow their clients to leave money on the table, and even a few percentage points in Silicon Valley can be a very significant sum of money.

My strategy assures you that you will get every qualified buyer in your door at the earliest possible moment. I understand that sale prices are actually driven by the quantity of offers received in a short period of time. I’ll make sure that you have the broadest selection of top-choice offers – and work those buyers to extract from them the best price and terms out there.

4. Expert Negotiation Skills Like None Other

Very few REALTOR®s operating in Silicon Valley have any kind of negotiation skills to speak of. For example, the prevalence of highest and best offers tells you all you need to know about most agents’ negotiation skills. Agents will also set arbitrary offer deadlines which signal to buyers that you’re hoping for or expecting a bidding war – and which also tells buyers they have time to wait to submit an offer (allowing the opportunity for them to write an offer on a competing property), or they should not submit an offer at all because there will be significant competition.

Listing agents will also routinely share what should be confidential information with buyer’s agents – telling them how many private showings there have been, the number of disclosure package requests, open house attendance…and, worst of all, how many offers have been received, and often the content and outlines of offers – which is a clear violation of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.

They say that knowledge is power, so it’s a mystery why so many Silicon Valley listing agents dribble that power away in negotiations with buyers. I steadfastly guard all your privileged information and do nothing that would cause a buyer to hesitate writing an offer on your home, or give them any advantage when doing so.

And before I have an offer – and after I receive an offer – I make it clear to the buyer’s agent that their buyer will absolutely have the chance to be the winning buyer, if that buyer is capable of winning. This assurance keeps buyers engaged in the process, so that I am able to present my seller clients with an array of offers representing the best set of price and terms available in the current market.

5. Unmatched Communication & Personal Attention

One of the biggest complaints I hear about REALTOR®s is that they are hard to reach or don’t keep their clients informed. I work hard to make sure that my clients are continually informed about the state of the sale of their home. And I communicate however my clients prefer: phone calls, text messages, email, WhatsApp, WeChat, Facebook Messenger – whatever!

And I always appreciate the opportunity to meet with my clients face-to-face, subject to their availability. That’s because there’s an emotional resonance that you cannot get any other way than by being in the same room together. So much of human communication is non-verbal, and I find tremendous benefit from in-person meetings.

And I won’t foist you off on a partner, assistant, or team member. When you choose to work with me to get your home sold in Silicon Valley, you will be working with me, personally.

6. Total Integrity & Transparency

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life—and you need a REALTOR® you can completely trust. I establish trust in many ways:

I always do what I say I will do – sometimes more, but never less. That means when we have an appointment, I will be on time, or early – or if I am stuck in traffic (it happens!), I will let you know that I am running late.

When I tell you I will send you some information, I will tell you the time by which you can expect that information. I’ll deliver it on or before the date and time I said I would.

I will always tell you the truth. That can lead to difficult conversations at times, because you may not want to hear the truth. But it’s also a violation of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics to mislead clients (or anyone, for that matter). You will find that I always play it straight, even when it isn’t easy or comfortable. You deserve nothing less.

I don’t do high-pressure sales. That’s because, honestly, it doesn’t matter to me if you decide not to sell your home – I can only help so many people anyway, and I keep pretty busy. If you don’t want to sell, now or later, that’s no skin off my nose; there are many other people who need my help.

I’d much rather build a long-term relationship than push you into something that you’re not comfortable doing. I can honestly say I’ve never pressured anyone into selling (or buying) a home. My job is to give you my best advice, which you are free to take or leave. But if you’re my client, once I’ve given you that advice, my job is to take your instructions, even if they run contrary to my advice, and execute them as you direct me to.

However, I must say that I will give you excellent advice which you would do well to give strong consideration. We will get the best results working together if you trust that my advice will yield the best result, and allow me to implement every minute detail of my strategy which will deliver an exceptional experience for you.

7. Master of Cutting-Edge Marketing & Technology

Before I joined Compass, I had my own real estate brokerage. But I shut my brokerage down to join Compass, because I knew that I could never hope to provide my clients with the same level of service as I could as a Compass agent.

I come from a background in technology, and part of what attracted me is that Compass is unlike any other real estate brokerage in the world. They say that they are building “the Operating System for Real Estate.” They are delivering on their promise of providing their agents and clients the best software tools to help them get the best result, seamlessly and reliably. “Apple easy, Google fast” is their motto when it comes to the Compass Platform, and it has indeed proved to be a tremendous asset to me in my work.

Compass delivers a wide range of tools that help agents and clients alike, such as:

Compass One
Compass Business Tracker (for transaction management)
Glide Disclosure & Offer Management Platform
Compass Collections
The Compass CRM
The Compass CMA tool
Compass Insights
Compass Marketing Center
Compass Digital Ads
Compass Video Studio
Compass Reverse Prospecting
Compass Make Me Sell

As the best REALTOR® in Silicon Valley, I embrace all the Compass tools and platform, and I am frequently called upon to beta test many of the new features. But it’s not just about using the latest gee-whiz technology; I use technology to give my clients a serious edge. I’ve built my business on being high-touch but also using high-tech marketing, data-driven insights, and advanced tools to help my clients win.

Of course, I use high-end photography, 3D virtual tours, email marketing, drones and video, and targeted social media advertising to make sure your home gets maximum exposure to the right buyers. I am an expert in all forms of marketing, but I never let the tools get in the way of what really matters when getting your home sold: getting the right buyers in the door as quickly as possible, garnering multiple offers and diligently negotiating them. I use the tools where appropriate; if they ever get in the way for any reason, I set them aside, roll up my sleeves, and do whatever’s needed to get the job done as expeditiously as possible.

If you want to work with a REALTOR®s who embraces the future and leverages technology – but is just as happy to leave it be when and as needed to give you the best possible outcome – I’m your guy.
