Trained Relocation Specialist

Don was trained in all aspects of relocation to assist clients moving in and out of the Bay Area.  He knows how to address the many needs clients encounter when moving.  This includes moving before the school year ends, renting before buying and preparing a vacant home for sale.  Approximately ten percent of my clients have been relocation clients.

RELO is a nationwide network of independent brokers like Empire Realty.  Referrals from this network provide our clients with the highest quality of agents and their sphere of qualified buyers and sellers of real estate. 

Don sells primarily in Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Diablo, Blackhawk, Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill.  He is very familiar with Orinda, Lafayette, Moraga and the Martinez areas. 

Don also personally knows agents in more than fifty cities in the Bay Area.  He has met them through seminars, conventions and professional organizations.  He is also able to refer you to a qualified agent anywhere in the United States.
