Todd will respond to any question you have immediately and is always available to help his clients. We appreciated his insight into the market in general along with his expertise of our neighborhood. Above all, Todd has incredible integrity and honesty. Todd never tried to close a deal or push any property. He runs his business for long-term success, which means helping his clients make the best decision for their family.
My husband and I met at least 20 other brokers / agents before choosing Menlo Atherton Realty. We were thrilled with the experience and will only use them in the future! We have recommended Menlo Atherton Realty to many family members and close friends.”

Todd and Inna offer one of the highest qualities of service that I have seen among real estate agents (and I’ve worked with a few in the past). All of their administrative procedures are well laid out and easy to follow. Your phone calls and e-mails are returned promptly and you never have to chase down your agent. And no matter whether you are a big or small client, you feel that you are given a high priority.
However, what I liked the most about Menlo Atherton Realty is that Todd would provide a solid assessment of the situation and give a good advice that was in my best interests (unlike other agents that would always push you to close the deal at any price). Todd is very sharp and he would always base his suggestion on sound fundamentals using as much available information as possible.”



However I also really valued the fact that even though Todd only got 1% commission, we did not in anyway feel like we didn’t get enough attention. We made two offers. The first one we made a really low offer and Todd offered his honest opinion that it was not the best investment but it was a good one. For our second offer it was a more desirable investment (ranch style house in a cul-de-sac, great schools, walkable to schools, convenient access to fwy) and there were multiple offers. With Todd’s advice, we were able to secure the house below listing price and also we got the house even though we were not the highest priced offer on the table.
To this day I firmly believe we would not have gotten our beautiful home without Todd’s help. Also the price of our neighborhood has increased and we would probably not have been able to afford it if we had waited a couple years.
All in all, Todd and Inna were always on time, very courteous, and extremely professional. We never felt rushed or felt like they were not prepared. In addition, they were great with getting things done electronically since both my husband and I were working full time jobs with long hours. We loved being able to finalize documents using e-signatures online.”






Third of all, Todd is very knowledgeable about the real estate industry. Even though Todd doesn’t live in SF or even do that many SF sales, he answered all of my questions with confidence and honesty. He helped us a lot with understanding how the short sale process works, what to expect from the bank, the timing of how it will all play out, etc. Bottom line, definitely go to Menlo Atherton Realty if you want to make the right real estate choices and work with a company that is honest, efficient, and works for you.”

I really appreciated Todd’s no pressure approach. He always rendered an honest opinion and never tried to push us into a home. I feel very comfortable sending my friends to Todd knowing he will provide them with the same honesty and high quality service as I received.”






“Menlo Atherton Realty helped us purchase a townhouse in Mountain View, where we competed against a lot of well-qualified buyers. Todd and Inna have figured out how to process real estate deals through secure web tools. They did a great job of setting things up so that I could read and sign documents online.
Not only were they less expensive than other agents, but also they saved me a lot of time. We had to make offers on four houses before we got an acceptance. It was tough, but because we were working efficiently we were able to stay in the game and compete effectively. Hats off to Todd and Inna. Thanks to their skills we are living in a nice place that we like very much.”

“I highly recommend Todd. Todd represented my wife and I in purchasing a home in Los Altos. We were drawn to using Todd due to his commission rebate back to us. This rebate enabled us to afford a more expensive home.
However, what impressed me most about Todd is that he provided much better service and expertise than other full service real estate brokers that we used before. Todd’s insights and guidance in crafting an offer and his negotiating skills helped us get a great price on our home. In addition, Todd’s loan broker got us a great rate on a loan. With the commission rebate and the great service that Todd provides, it is a no-brainer to use Todd as your real estate broker if you are purchasing a home.”






“We recently purchased our first home and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Knowing that we would be doing a lot of legwork ourselves (researching online and attending open houses) we chose Todd and Inna based on their commission rebate program.
When we started working with them, I didn’t expect them to handhold us since they only keep 1% commission. I was very pleasantly surprised though, as both Todd and Inna were available to us at all hours of the day. They responded to emails almost instantaneously and provided answers to our never-ending list of questions that ranged from steps in the home buying process to the escrow period. Another thing that we loved about them is the fact that they are all digital. The vast majority of communication was done through email. More importantly though, is the fact that they use docusign to gather electronic signatures. I was out of town when we put our offer in, so this would have been impossible with a traditional agent that still requires physical signatures.
Todd showed great expertise in the bidding process. We had already lost out on another home (for which he had indicated that he thought our offer was too low), so we listened to his advice more the second time around. It was a multiple offer, multiple counter situation, and Todd’s insight and advice for next steps really worked. Additionally, he mentioned that he had worked with the other agent before, so I suspect that his strong network and relationship with the agent helped us win the bidding war.
Inna was remarkably organized and always went out of her way to accommodate our schedules. She met up with us for a final walk through of our property on Labor Day weekend! I thought she would rush right through the inspection since it was a holiday, but she really took the time to walk through with us, and even provided some design feedback and ideas. Even though that was the last “official” thing we had to do with our house, she has still been in contact with us, providing recommendations on stores and contacts to use during our home remodel.
Both Todd and Inna were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their responsiveness and expertise throughout our home buying process was great, and I couldn’t imagine going through this process without them.”




“We bought our first home with Menlo Atherton Realty and the experience was exactly as advertised. The service is to the point. Offers get done quickly using the latest technology such as electronic signing.
The service also includes solid real estate knowledge and invaluable local knowledge; the real estate market in the bay area is unique and, therefore, requires unique knowledge that people from Menlo Atherton Realty mastered. The art of making offers in a competitive market. The rebate they offer is also very strong and makes you feel like you are paying only for what you really need.”
