"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! This team came highly recommended by a dear friend of mine who had listed their home with them in Mill Valley a few years ago, achieving the highest price ever paid for a home in Mill Valley. Lydia Sarkissian, Bill Bullock, Magda Sarkissian, Sue Southwood offered expert advice on the current real estate market in Marin since they are very well connected in that community. They listened to our goals and guided us through every stage of the process, and were very attentive to our needs.

"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."

"Bill, Lydia, and Magda did a fantastic job of creating and overseeing the transformation of our mother’s 55-year-old, well-worn home into a beautifully updated home ready to be acquired by a new young family. They were able to quickly find the best contractors, inspectors, and other resources necessary to close the transaction. Their photographer created an amazing marketing video with drone footage to show off the property. The stager they recommended transformed the home into a fun family retreat. Spending money updating a home that you are not going to live in can be hard, but we followed their advice and design recommendations. We were able to sell the property for much more than what we would have sold it for if we had not done any work to it. After the first broker’s open, we were in contract in just 1 day. It was beyond our wildest dreams. The Sarkissian/Bullock Team really knows how to convert and present a home for maximum value. They are known as the premier luxury home real estate agents in the Bay Area, and we were grateful that they applied their expertise to ensure an outstanding success. We highly recommend them and would do business with them again. Thank you again for all your efforts."
