Hans Struzyna and the team at the Gunderman Group did a terrific job assisting our family in selling two houses in Berkeley that were part of our Uncle’s trust. Their team provided everything we needed, including referrals to a trust attorney, an attorney to deal with tenant buyouts, property managers, remodeling contractors, staging, and all aspects of marketing. They even helped us with financing the entire effort. They were professional but also very patient and kind. We would recommend them unconditionally to anyone who has a complex real estate situation involving trusts and tenants.

My wife and I interviewed two realtors prior to meeting with David and Hans to sell my childhood home and we were blown away with their presentation that included sales data to back up the current market, a breakdown of all the services they provide which includes an optional investment to elevate the property for an optimal sale price. They shared our vision and enthusiasm on turning this former home into a welcoming space for the next family to take over. They went out of the way in helping us with a non-related issue that came up with the county and saved us thousands of dollars in property taxes. They offer full service from getting a project manager, contractors for the renovation, staging and marketing. They are very communicative throughout the entire process which granted us peace of mind knowing this project was in the best of hands. I walked through the house right before the open house and I couldnt believe the transformation. The house looked amazing, better than what we could have ever imagined and below budget! We ultimately sold the home above asking and I couldnt be happier. They exceeded our expectations in every aspect, we recommend them to anyone selling their property and encourage them to meet Hans or David in person.

David, Hans, Kristin and team were absolutely amazing in helping us sell our home. They took care of every detail, ensuring we were informed, taking action, and obtaining the best value we could for our home in all the decisions we were making. Their network did a great job in handling all the last details of prepping the home and staging it - it never looked better even when we lived there! Cant recommend them enough if youre looking for a trusted and reliable group that will do their best to achieve what youre after.

David, Hans, Suzanne, Jodie, and Dede were so amazing in making our home sale a pleasurable and easy experience. The Gunderman team goes above and beyond to make each step simple, easy and stress free. This group of professionals are knowledgeable, communicative on every level and make you feel as if you were old friends. We were concerned about the state of the real estate market and the team assured us that we had nothing to worry about. They were absolutely right, we sold and closed our house in 17 days. My husband and I would highly recommend the Gunderman team to everyone. The process of which they use has a proven winning record and we would use them again if ever the need.Show less

Hans has tremendous experience and knowledge in the East Bay housing market. This coupled with his tenacity on his clients behalf and a perfect balance of patience and push was just what we needed. Its also comforting to know that the relationship didnt end at close of escrow. Hans and Kristin have kept in touch and graciously shared their contacts and recommendations for service providers of all types and even potential places to find good deals on furnishings. Hans was amazing on his own when we started working together and was made stronger yet by teaming with Kristin. I highly recommend them if youre in the market to buy or sell in the Oakland/Alameda area!

Hans and Kristin are an incredible team, happy to rate them 5 stars.They were both very patient through my long home shopping process and even more so when the deal took a lot longer than we would have liked to execute. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful, they aided my process through strategic advice, opening up their network to me to get help when I needed, and drilling down to detailed tactics. They put my needs as a customer first and made sure to understand what is important to me. Finally, they helped make sure I can realize the maximum value in my home purchasing process - ensuring my offers were competitive, yet fair in a dynamic and complicated market.No hesitation in recommending them.

Hans and Kristin went the extra mile to understand our preferences and intricately explained their buyer-focused approach. They embodied everything we desired in agents: local expertise, diligence, an unwavering work ethic (no surprise, given their Olympic rowing backgrounds!), approachability, etc. Right from the start, they surpassed expectations. Going above and beyond, they delved into our preferences and provided invaluable local guidance as buyers from out of town. Their insights into different neighborhoods, potential home upgrades, and the nuances of the market were incredibly helpful. Throughout negotiations, they remained composed, ensuring our concerns were not only acknowledged but respected. In short order we secured our dream home, thoroughly satisfied with both the process and the result! Thanks to Hans and Kristin we are living in our forever home, something that we didnt feel would be possible at earlier points in the process!

Worked with realtor partner Hans Struzyna. The process of selling felt effortless and streamlined. Together, we discussed a plan for renovation and listing. All decisions felt completely up to my family. No pressure felt on decision making whatsoever. From there, Hans executed the vision and did it beyond our expectations. Any stress and anxiety I had going into the process subsided. Everything felt taken care of. Yet, the lines of communication were always open if needed. The house ended up being sold above what we anticipated. Highly recommend Hans Struzyna. If you have the opportunity to sell through him, you should take it!

When dealing with most businesses, you come across A-players, B-players, and C-players. C-players are good enough. B-players do a great job and get a high-five. On rare occasions, you come across an A-player, and Hans Stuzyna is a perfect example of one. I entered the uncertain Bay Area housing market with little hope of being successful. I came across a home that I fell in love with and contacted the listing agent. Hans - who worked for the same firm - picked up the phone. Hans walked me through my options - phone call after phone call, text message after text message. Hans gave me the guidance I needed and stood by my side as we entered a fierce bidding war on a dream home. We won the house and soon opened escrow to close after precisely 21 days! After we closed the home, our water heater went out. I was desperately working with the warranty company to try and repair, but they denied us because they believed it was a preexisting condition. I called Hans for help and he sprang into action. We submitted a home inspection report to prove the water heater was working and obtained agreement from the warranty company that theyll repair. This wasnt good enough for Hans. He checked in with me almost every day making sure we had hot water. When the wait times were almost an hour with the warranty company, Hans used his resources to obtain communication for me quicker. Through this entire process, I did not so much as hear a sigh come out of him. There was no delay in his response. Hans gave an authentic damn, even after we closed escrow and he was not contractually obligated to do so. This is what an A-player does. This is how an A-player stands out from the crowd.

Kristin and Hans were knowledgeable about the area and wise in advising us throughout the process of searching for a house and putting in an offer on the one we purchased. They were very helpful with referrals after we moved in, which was so appreciated, given that we were new to the area. Buying a house and moving is a stressful process, and they helped make it so much easier! As you can see from the photos, our cats are enjoying their new house!!

Listing our home with the Gunderman Group was the perfect choice. Hans attended to every detail with a blend of kindness, expertise, and professionalism. His work ethic was just what we hoped it would be. Praise for a job well done is richly deserved.

I originally met Hans when he was the sellers agent on a house I was looking at. We didnt like the lack of privacy in that particular house, and he asked what our specifications were and told me he would look out for us. He didnt bombard my email with random listings (as other agents have). Just contacted me 3 times with unlisted properties that matched my criteria that were coming on the market to give me a heads up. We decided to use him as our buyers agent for the house we ended up purchasing and we couldnt be happier. He was on top of everything (even though the sellers agent was constantly unresponsive) and was always available whenever I had questions or needed his time to show up to the property to take measurements prior to closing. I highly recommend him and his firm.

We were looking to buy in Alameda for almost two years before being fortunate enough to find Hans and Kristin. They went above and beyond in a challenging market to help us finally find our dream starter home.As aspiring first-time homeowners, we couldn’t have asked for a better dynamic duo to guide us through the process of searching for and purchasing a house. They were incredibly patient and genuinely cared about us finding a home that was right for us.We must have seen over 30 properties with them before finding our perfect match. Once we did, they expertly advised us through the offer process and made sure we closed the deal. We really appreciated that at each step they took time to explain what was happening and why – they taught us along the way.Hans and Kristin have an impressive network of connections ranging from contractors to inspectors that they shared with us. As a result, everything was accomplished quickly and without complication. We couldn’t have done it without them. Buying a house in the East Bay can be harrowing, but Hans and Kristin made it a great experience.We can’t recommend them enough for being amazing real estate agents and exceptional people.

As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I started the high stakes journey of finding our forever home. It took us about 3-4 months of lurking Redfin to familiarize ourselves with the crazy Bay Area real estate landscape before we started extensively researching realtors in the East Bay. We narrowed our search down to a top five, and when we were ready to get serious about bidding on homes, started interviewing realtors with tons of positive reviews from Yelp, Zillow, and Reddit. We did our due dilligence to ensure who we picked was the best of the best.When we interviewed Hans and Kristin, it felt like we were speaking with some of our favorite professors from college: extremely knowledgable, approachable, and pushing for the best out of their students. With so much nuance in real estate, we were eager to learn all the ins & outs and get the best bang for our buck.What really made them stand out from the other top realtors we talked to was their integrity and transparency. They didnt just act as realtors to us; they became our advocates, pushing for what we needed during negotiations and being there for us when stakes were their highest. Their dedication and ability to work through the competitive market was impressive, and their background in Olympic training felt like we were getting a dream team who would hustle and be transparent with us until we found the one.Over the entire 5ish months partnering together, Hans and Kristin shared a lot of knowledge and helped us prep, which was important for us as newbies to buying a home. They coached and guided us through nuances every step of the way. We felt they were 100% transparent and gave us their honest feedback after every disclosure review and in-person house tour. We always could count on them to let us know about areas of concern, future resale potential, and any FYIs to make sure we were aligned.Additionally, they were really quick to respond, always available to answer our questions by email, text, or phone calls. Not once over the course of our 5 months partnering together did we feel that we were left on read or that we couldnt expect a timely response; we set a precident when we were interviewing realtors that responsiveness was paramount, and Hans and Kristin lived up to their promise.Overall, we are now feeling like we went from total newbies to experts amongst our friends who are in the real estate market. Hans and Kristin come highly recommended for anyone buying or selling, at any point in their journey. Their knowledge, integrity, and focus on their clients make them a fantastic choice for those looking to find their perfect home, and weve already passed their info on to our inner circle.

I have now had the pleasure of having worked with Hans, Kristin, and Hannah twice. Once to sell my childhood home and once to purchase our first home. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they were as a team. Hannah, who project managed setting up our childhood home for sale is responsive, punctual, and realistic in goals. Selling our childhood home was emotional and we felt very supported throughout the entire process. Hans and Kristin managed to get us above and beyond the price we expected, which showed us how well they know the crazy market in Alameda. When my husband and I decided to purchase ourselves, going with Hans team was a no-brainer. At no point did we feel pressured into purchasing. We had a bit of a difficult purchase with a lot of back and forth with the selling agent and loan company. Even when we were out of town for a family vacation we felt comfortable that our best interests were being supported by their team. If you are looking to purchase or sell, especially in Alameda, we cannot recommend this team more!

We highly recommend working with Hans and Kristin to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. They went above and beyond to help us sell our home and purchase a new home before our second child arrived. We couldn’t have done this simultaneously and so quickly without their help and can’t thank them enough. Their knowledge of the Alameda market is unmatched and they also have a vast network of contacts including lenders, contractors, movers, etc. that they were able to provide to make the process even smoother.

This team went above and beyond to help us to sell our condo despite a challenging market. Hans and Kristin worked hard to advocate for us throughout the process and offered the right balance between expert guidance and respecting our preferences. When unexpected challenges came up (which they always do!) they thought quickly on their feet and were able to pivot their strategy, and it was clear they clocked extra hours to push for a desirable outcome. They always remained optimistic even in the midst of hurdles, which I really believe contributed greatly to our success.We chose the Gunderman group because of their reputation for having a thoughtful, respectful approach toward all parties involved. This truly was our experience with Hans and Kristin. They were highly responsive and remained calm in some high-stress, high-stakes moments.We would absolutely work with this team again and cannot recommend them enough.

My wife and I have purchased and sold 10 homes on both the East and West Coasts between us in our lives. From this perspective we can emphatically state that Hans and Kristin Struzyna from the Gunderman Group with Keller Williams Luxury International Realty are among the best of all the real estate brokers with whom we’ve worked. Their professionalism, candor and general knowledge of the area and marketplace dynamics stood out to us. And their post-sale follow up was a pleasant and welcome surprise, with many suggestions and recommendations on a variety of topics about our new home and community. As fate would have it, we are also neighbors and friends and have observed them in action multiple times both professionally and personally. I would recommend them unconditionally as desirable representatives for anyone navigating the Bay Area real estate market.

I just closed on my condominium in the Rockridge area of Oakland, and I cant say enough about my wonderful realtors, Hans and Kristin Sturzyna. They are remarkable agents with the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness to make the process of selling my home painless, and even enjoyable. They thoroughly understand the local real estate market, and priced my home competitively for a quick sale.Because of their attentiveness, they kept me informed throughout the process. I never had to call to get an update as to an offer, inspection, or other document. Hans and Kristin were always very responsive if I had a question or concern about the sale. They attended to all the inspections. They obtained bids and had a fabulous, professional design team to oversee repairs and staging of the condo. They were careful to follow all requirements of the Home Owners Association. Their stylish and beautiful transformation increased the value of my home significantly. In fact, we got the final bid before the home was even listed publicly.Since I was not in the Bay Area at the time, Hans and Kristin arranged to have all my initial documents sent and signed electronically. We would zoom or phone to discuss the documents and process. If I did not understand terms or sections in the various papers, they patiently clarified them for me. Their knowledge of the legal and technical aspects of selling real estate made me proceed with confidence in all of the activities connected to the sale.Thank you, Hans and Kristin for an amazing job and a pleasurable experience!Sincerely,Karen Nelson

While we did not purchase a home in Alameda, we found Hans and Kristins market knowledge and professionalism to be superior to many agents we have dealt with in the past.

Hans and Krisitn are truly exceptional. We were very impressed with their level of knowledge and the amount of data that they had about the market and the locations we were looking to buy. It was a no-brainer for us to work with them and were so thankful I did.They were always available for home tours when we needed them. Their responsiveness was incredible, they always got back to us the same day. We purchased our first home which came with a lot of questions and concerns. They walked us through every step and highlighted their concerns and helped us research solutions. They really treated our buying process like they were purchasing the property – they looked out for us and always had our best interest in mind. They are amazing, and though were happy to have found our home we will miss working with them day to day. When we plan on to buy again and sell our home we will not hesitate to call Hans and Krisitin.

It was a crazy year searching for my home in Alameda. After 3 failed bids, I finally had an offer accepted. Hans and Kristen were more than professional and always patient. They went above and beyond helping me locate my next home and never stopped trying in this insane market. They understood the ins and outs of this turbulent time specifically in Alameda where they spend a lot of time not only working there but also living there. After the sale, they continue to help me with vendors, support, and any little matter that makes a difference for me. I highly recommend this group as they are extremely knowledgeable and took the time to understand my needs and situation.I believe in them so much that I am going to have them sell my existing home. Now that is confidence! You will be an excellent hands if you choose this group.

Kristin and Hans went above and beyond to make what could have been the very stressful experience of buying a home in the Bay Area as smooth and seamless as possible. And the process ended with them not only helping us find, but making sure we got the home of our dreams.

Hans and Kristin Struzyna went above and beyond what one would expect. They went through the property and helped us identify things to make it show better, then followed through and found us a handyman to make it all happen. They were very professional and respectful when it came to staging, photographs and pricing. We highly recommend them as a team!
