Our Guarantee to East Bay Buyers and Sellers

Most agent websites use the word guarantee without committing to anything. Here is what Bruce Wagg actually promises, in plain terms, with no conditions buried in fine print. These are commitments about how we work — not predictions about the market, which nobody can promise you.

You can cancel at any time

If you are not satisfied with how your sale or search is being handled, you can end the representation agreement in writing at any time, with no cancellation fee and no argument. You are not locked in for six months because you signed something in month one.

An agent who is worried about you leaving should be worried about the service, not the contract.

You get a response the same business day

Calls, texts, and emails receive a reply the same business day — and during an active transaction, within a few hours. If Bruce is genuinely unreachable, you will know in advance who is covering and how to reach them.

The most common complaint buyers and sellers have about their agent is silence. In a market where an inspection question or a counteroffer can be time-sensitive, silence costs money.

You will hear when a property is wrong for you

If a home has a problem — a foundation issue, a fire-zone insurance obstacle, a school boundary that is not what the listing implies, a price that the comparables do not support — you will hear it directly, before you write the offer.

The commission is the same whether you buy a good house or a bad one. That is exactly why the advice has to be independent of it.

You get the market data, not just the conclusion

Every pricing recommendation comes with the comparable sales it is built on. Every offer strategy comes with the reasoning behind it. You will see the same information Bruce is working from, so you can disagree, ask questions, and make the decision yourself.

You will never be pressured

No artificial urgency, no manufactured competing offers, no pushing you toward a decision because a quarter is ending. When a property genuinely requires fast action, you will be told why, with specifics.

What is not guaranteed

No agent can guarantee a sale price, a timeline, or that a home will appreciate. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either uninformed or selling you something. What can be guaranteed is preparation, honest counsel, and the level of attention described above — and those are the parts that actually influence the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions — Working With Bruce Wagg

Can I cancel my agreement if I am unhappy?

Yes. You can end the representation agreement in writing at any time, with no cancellation fee. There is no minimum term you are held to and no penalty for leaving.

How quickly will my agent respond?

The same business day for calls, texts, and emails, and within a few hours during an active transaction. If Bruce is unavailable, you will be told in advance who is covering and how to reach them.

Will you tell me not to buy a house?

Yes, when the situation calls for it. Foundation problems, fire-zone insurance obstacles, school boundary issues, and prices unsupported by comparable sales all get raised before you write an offer, not after.

Do you guarantee a sale price or a timeline?

No, and no agent honestly can. Market conditions, buyer demand, and interest rates are outside anyone's control. What is guaranteed is the preparation, pricing analysis, and communication that put you in the best position within those conditions.

Will I see the data behind your recommendations?

Yes. Every pricing recommendation comes with the comparable sales supporting it, and every offer strategy comes with the reasoning. The goal is for you to make the decision with the same information Bruce has.

What areas does this apply to?

Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, and the broader East Bay, along with Cupertino and the South Bay. Bruce Wagg has worked these markets for two decades with Keller Williams.
