Cameron Parkinson – Thornwall Properties, Inc.

We’ve had Cameron as our agent from buying and selling our home in Berkeley and he is absolutely the best. He was proactive, responsive to all our questions and handled the entire process with care. I definitely felt he had our best interests in mind. We’re definitely happy with the hard work and service you’ve put in. Thank you, Cameron. The next customers will definitely be lucky to have you as his/​her agent.

Cameron was a great agent to work with for the purchase of my FIRST home! He was super knowledgable about the neighborhoods in Richmond and things to look for that could be troublesome in the future. He is also well connected with other agents which came in handy on a few occasions. I never felt like I was being told some grandiose story, he was very straight forward and matter of fact which I appreciated.

My favorite thing Cameron ever said, while we were looking at a house that didn’t have what what I wanted, but I was in that I’ll-make-anything-work place was: No Rachel, there’s no way I’m going to have Isabella live here.” Isabella is my 2 ½ year old and that Cameron was invested not just in me, but seeing this as her home, where she would grow up was wonderful. As a first-​time home buyer, it was great to have his insights, support, knowledge and his flexibility in the buying process.

Cameron just helped my fiancé and me buy a multi-​unit property in Richmond. We literally could not have done this without him as we tried to get the same property with a different, less experienced real estate agent and failed miserably. Cameron is knowledgable, an excellent communicator, and worked really hard under difficult circumstances to get us a property we had once thought unattainable (let’s just say the seller’s agent had nowhere near the skill level of Cameron…). Our requirements for the property we wanted were pretty strict and we also had a strict budget but Cameron was patient and willing to work with difficult sellers and their difficult agents to get us what we wanted.
Working with our first real estate agent there were a lot of sleepless nights as we worried whether our he actually knew what he was doing and whether the offers we were putting in were too high or too low. With Cameron, there was never a worry because we knew from the way he explained things to us and how he talked about the houses we were seeing that he knows what he is talking about. He was there every step of the way with us and always responded quickly and knowledgeably to our questions. I would recommend Cameron to anyone looking to purchase a home or property in the Bay Area.

My husband and I worked with Cameron for over two years as we looked for a house in a low-​inventory market. Throughout the process, Cameron was wonderful to work with. As first-​time homebuyers, Cameron helped us clarify and prioritize what we wanted in a house, and taught us a lot about how to assess the structural quality of a house and how to make educated guesses about the history of each property. I thought he was especially great about talking you through a house’s potential and helping you picture what life would be like there without ever pushing you to like the place.
Cameron also did a lot of legwork with sellers’ realtors, and he was great with talking through the strategy of making offers and counteroffers. He was always super speedy in getting back to us, and made a special effort to take us to see places quickly that looked especially promising, which I think really helped us get the place we eventually bought. Seriously, buy/​sell houses with this guy. You’ll be glad you did.

Cameron helped me purchase a home recently; his attention to detail, his negotiating skills, and his charm, gave us an edge during this competitive market! I really appreciated his quickness at submitting offers, his availability to show properties without much notice, and how he kept me informed throughout the process, even when there were no updates.
He’s an awesome agent to work with; I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a property!

Cameron worked tirelessly to help me purchase my first home. I was pretty clueless about the process and Cameron was very patient, knowledgeable and down to earth. He was always available to answer my myriad of questions and diligent with following up on my many requests. He really went out of his way to make my first time home buying process as painless as possible. I even got a pretty fantastic housewarming gift!

Cameron was instrumental in helping me and my husband purchase our first home (which we love!). He taught us a lot about the real estate market and the home-​buying process, and was tireless about showing us homes and putting in offers. Cameron was also patient as we worked through our priorities and struggled to nail down our budget. Other pros — he knows the East Bay really well (including Oakland, Berkeley, Kensington, El Cerrito and Richmond), and he’s a fun, ethical guy that you won’t mind house touring with!
I would definitely recommend Cameron to other home-​buyers, especially first-​time buyers. Buying a house is exciting, but also incredibly stressful, and you need someone you trust in your corner.

Cameron is direct, easy to work with, kind, patient, and conscientious. He represented us with a sale a few years ago that took forEVER and he kept the pace the entire time and was generous and responsive. The next time we buy, we’re totally calling him.
