"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Magda and the Sarkissian Bullock Team as a whole. We were referred to her when we were new to Marin, and she was an incredible resource from the very beginning. She took the time to really get to know our family and what we were looking for, while helping us navigate the different neighborhoods and communities throughout Marin. Magda has helped us purchase two homes and sell one, and both homes we purchased were properties she brought to us completely off-market. She is incredibly well connected and always seems to know what is happening both on and off the market. Most importantly, she really listened to what we wanted and ultimately helped us find our dream home. When it came time to sell our home, Magda had it sold off-market within days and made the entire process as easy as possible for us. She is responsive, thoughtful, patient, and always one step ahead. Magda has become a trusted resource for our entire family, and we truly could not recommend her and the Sarkissian Bullock Team more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin."

"If I were looking for real estate representation in Marin County, there is no one else I would choose except the Lydia and Magda Sarkissian team as well as their partner Bill Bullock. We would not have sold our house for significantly over asking price and would not be living in our current residence, were it not for their efforts. They are the best realtors I have worked with in the 6 places I have owned over the past 45 years."

"Magda Sarkissian, Lydia Sarkissian, Bill Bullock, and Sue Southwood did a great job supporting us buying a new home in Tiburon, across the many phases of this endeavor: Finding a house off-market based on our preferences, making us immediately feel “yes, this is where we want to live,” when we first saw the place, helping us prepare a purchasing strategy, conducting a long and hard negotiation with many moving variables and frequent last-minute late night changes from both parties, navigating the numerous stakeholders involved in closing the deal, and tirelessly explaining the local context and customs, patiently answering our many questions, and supporting us with all the decisions that had to be made related to this transaction. We’re very grateful for their help. Their service level, professionalism, and personal engagement is truly above and beyond what we had expected. We can warmly recommend their services to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the region, especially if there is a lot of complexity involved, if things need to go fast, if there are complicated negotiations to be had, if there is need to find properties off market, or if, as in our case, you are moving internationally and need someone to guide you through the process of acquiring a new home in the US."

"When we decided to sell our cherished home of 35+ years in Mill Valley, we turned to the Sarkissian Bullock Team at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, who were an absolute pleasure to work with!

"The Bullock and Sarkissian Team are first and foremost closers! They bring their knowledge, resources, and expertise to real estate transactions and get the job done for sellers and buyers alike. We have sold two off-market homes in Belvedere through Lydia and Bill, and now Magdalena, over the past nine years. In both cases, they had discriminating buyers interested in very specific properties. Once mutual interest was established and price agreed, the Bullock and Sarkissian team really went to work and executed, working 24/7 if needed. Contracts, inspections, disclosures, negotiations, etc., are all handled with calm, but necessary urgency, professionalism, and precision. The team has depth, beyond the named principals, and deep contacts in the Marin market to execute the sale. At every step of the way, a member of the Bullock and Sarkissian team was with us, ensuring everything went according to schedule. We could not be happier with the professionalism, the process, and the happy outcome. Their long success in the luxury market in Marin is well earned, and we have no hesitations in recommending the Bullock and Sarkissian team."

"Just when you think you have a plan, life happens, and 3 months after purchasing our Tiburon home we needed to sell. Other “top” agents rolled their eyes and snickered. Lydia Sarkissian and Bill Bullock rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They immediately invested in new photography, video and drone imaging and executed an aggressive strategy to market the property internationally. Bill Bullock, Lydia Sarkissian, Magda Sarkissian and Sue Southwood, the Bullock Sarkissian Team, understood our urgency and vigorously pursued every lead and opportunity to sell the home. Overcoming bad facts and daunting odds, they sold the property in 3 months off market. A stellar achievement by anyone’s standard, but it did not come easy, and only resulted from their commitment and skill. It sold because Lydia Sarkissian persuaded the buyer to see our property after they were dissatisfied at another showing. It sold because Bill Bullock knowledgeably answered the appraisers’ questions when he hosted their tour of the property. It sold because after the buyer demanded a 25+ item request for repairs, the Bullock Sarkissian Team contacted their Rolodex of contractors to complete the work quickly and cost effectively. True to their word, the Bullock Sarkissian team said what they were going to do and did it. Results matter. When people show you who they are, believe them."
