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

Declan was absolutely the best real estate agent I could have asked for! I had met with two other agents before deciding to work with Declan, and I am so happy with my choice. From the start, he stood out with his deep knowledge of the market and his ability to explain every step of the process clearly.

Declan truly went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect property, and his expertise in negotiations helped us secure a lower purchase price, which we are incredibly grateful for. His dedication, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

If you're looking for an agent who will genuinely have your back and work tirelessly for you, I can't recommend Declan enough. Thank you for everything, Declan!

Declan is the consummate professional. His passion for his work is palpable, and it translates to an exceptional buying experience (in our case) for his clients. We could not have been more pleased with his no nonsense, transparent manner. He really takes the time to understand one's needs, and has the regionally specific experience required to find properties to meet those needs. I could not possibly have been more pleased with his service, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need. Bravo and thank you!

P.S. We love the orchid Declan, thank you!!

Declan was the perfect realtor. He attended promptly, professionally and cheerfully to issues big and small. Even the neighbors and the management of the condo complex commented on how much they liked Declan and Denitsa! In addition to how well they managed the many technical details of selling a property, they also attended superbly to the aesthetics aspects of the property and the garden thereby insuring everything looked smashing. Definitely use The Home Factor for your next real estate transaction

We had a wonderful experience selling our condo with Declan & Denitsa! They were super communicative in all stages of the process, excellent project managers for the repairs and improvements we needed before listing, and brought us multiple offers over asking. Would highly recommend!

This review is a few years late but still very much warranted. Declan is an absolutely stellar agent that helped us find a fantastic home in Oakland in 2021. I think what we appreciated most about Declan was his knowledge and experience, and his directness / great communication, helping us break down what is an overwhelming amount of knowledge for first time buyers. Can’t recommend him enough.

I have known Declan for more than a decade. Over that time, my wife and I received his real estate market updates and market trend analysis. It is one thing to say that you know your market. It is another to have actual proof. Declan can prove to you that he knows his market.

Declan was a great manager of the sale of our long time family home. He understood that the home needed some work and was able to make that happen as painlessly as possible. He reviewed the situation and brought us the right contractor. Declan worked with a home remodeling company to estimate the cost of strategic renovations to ensure that our investment in the renovations would make our home attractive to the buyers and more than return our investment.

We agreed because we had seen how some homes had lingered in the market when they had not been updated. Not only was the house remodel done professionally, and quickly but his estimate for the return on investment was conservative. We were very happy with the final offer we received on the house and the whole process.

His use of social media is impeccable and very direct. His Instagram posts always bring a significant group of realtor interest.

I think Declan is a man of integrity and also someone who cares about his clients. I recommend him enthusiastically and without hesitation.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Declan in early 2023 and then again in early 2024 to ask for an opinion of value, and we got a lot more than what we were expecting.
Not only did he answer several extra questions regarding the Market in Berkeley, he actually brought to our attention some very relevant trends related to the type of property we were looking at that we had not considered.
Declan is very easy to talk to, very clear on what are facts versus his opinions (a quality I value a lot), and he was also helpful in providing some referrals for some follow up questions/investigations/quotes that we needed.
We highly recommend Declan for his Realtor services in the Bay Area!

From start to finish, in a complex (Pt Richmond) and also a very competitive and challenging local real estate market (Brickyard Landing), Declan Spring and Denitsa Shopova, The Home Factor, provided us with excellent service.

Our condo was beautifully staged, the professional photos of our property were gorgeous, and open houses were held frequently.

Further, Declan’s deep knowledge of East Bay real estate is impressive and his marketing and negotiating skills are excellent. He guided us through several very complicated matters, always maintaining a sense of optimism while not losing his dry sense of humor. He was patient beyond belief.

We would highly recommend both Declan and Denitsa to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the East Bay, and also specifically, inside Brickyard Landing.
