“Even in this strong market, homes don’t sell themselves. So it is important to have a realtor in your corner who is intimately familiar with the market; who works tirelessly on your behalf; and who you can trust to have your interests as the seller as their only agenda. I was fortunate when I recently sold my property to have Todd as my realtor, as he exemplified everything I was after in an agent. From the initial consultation, Todd demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the market and real estate trends which comes from his many years of experience. I would have chosen Todd as my realtor anyway, but the 1% listing fee was a great bonus! 
He and his team took care of all of the details to ensure my property showed in the best possible light, and fortunately I never hesitated to follow their recommendations. Selling a house can be daunting, but Todd’s super-streamlined and organized process made it so much less stressful. The e-signature service he uses made the whole process so much more manageable. In the end, my property sold for a great price in spite of having a construction site directly across that street that certainly was not a selling point! If you’re looking to sell your home for the best possible price, then I strongly recommend Todd and his team!”
“We hired Todd and his partner/wife Inna to assist us with purchasing a home in 2008 and again in 2013 to purchase a home and also sell a rental investment.
I cannot say enough good things about them. With the market as hot as it is and tons of deals going through their office, you would never know it when interacting with Inna or Todd on a daily basis. They somehow are able to treat every client like s/he is their only client (and don’t look for kudos for doing it). They respond to emails and calls day and night. They handle every transaction with the same sense of urgency and care that the client feels in what is often a stressful and emotional process.
At the same time, they are able to maintain a calm and reassuring demeanor. Todd’s negotiating skills are second to none. He is tough and unrelenting. Inna is very detail oriented keeps clients in the loop with nearly daily updates. And don’t let her looks fool you – she is equally as tough. All in all, we have been 110% satisfied. We will look to Todd & Inna for all of our future real estate needs and would not hesitate in recommending them to family, friends and colleagues.”
“We recently listed and sold our Mountain View home through Todd and Inna Beardsley of Menlo Atherton Realty. We were thrilled that our home sold within the first weekend of open houses with multiple offers that we were very pleased with. We were very happy with the excellent customer service we received from Todd and Inna. They were always available via email, text and phone even late at night. They worked great as a team and were very professional and knowledgeable about how to generate and maximize multiple offers for our home. Through working with Inna, we were able to rapidly prepare and put our home on the market within 1 week of moving out. Todd and Inna provided us with many contacts which made the preparation of our home a simple and pain free process. We also staged our home through Inna’s company “First Impressions” and were extremely pleased with her elegant style (it gave us second thoughts about moving out!). We attribute much of our ability to sell our home quickly and at a great price (available upon request) to Inna’s elegant and transformative staging plus Todd’s listing and negotiating skills. To top it off, Todd and Inna provided their listing services for only 1% seller’s commission which was great compared to the 2.5% to 3% commission cost from other realtors. In light of the fantastic sale price now posted in the MLS, you may be considering selling. If you are we encourage you to call Todd.”
“My wife and I just finished selling my parents home in Atherton and we highly recommend Menlo Atherton Reality. Todd and Inna Beardsley were professional and yet enjoyable from the very start of the process through the selling and escrow procedure and they guided us every step of the way. Although we live an hour and a half away, we felt like they were our neighbors. They communicated with us often, by email and phone. We even signed most of the documents on-line via email. We welcomed their advice and recommendations on staging, clean up and marketing. They even loaned us a pickup truck to haul some of my parents “stuff” to the Salvation Army. And the commission we paid them was the lowest of all the realtors we talked with. To sum up our experience, we would say: very prof
essional, responsive, detailed-oriented, proactive while providing a high quality service. Would we use them again to help buy or sell a home? ABSOLUTELY! ”
“Todd provides a great service with an attractive business model. As a seasoned real estate investor, I’ve worked with many real estate agents and Todd is definitely one of the best. Other real estate companies that offer similar business models do not offer the same level of service and attention, and his aggressive negotiation surpasses the full service agents. His prompt attention in competitive situations is the quality that made the difference in my purchase, and I’d definitely hire him again for future transactions.”
“Todd and Inna Beardley are simply the best!! They sold our townhouse for the highest price ever achieved in our complex. Todd has an uncanny understanding of how to use the internet to maximize the exposure of your home to the greatest number of buyers. Of course, he also lists your home on all the local Multiple Listing Services and advertises and holds open houses. His partner, Inna, also has her own home staging company and has a warehouse of beautiful furniture and accessories. She is an artist in assembling them in your home as needed to produce a wonderful result that makes your home extremely desirable to the many buyers. We have had several real estate transactions over the years with good brokers, but Todd and Inna are over the top. Definitely FIVE stars.”
“We loved working with Todd and Menlo Atherton Realty! In fact, we’ve bought and sold 8 different homes throughout the years, and this sale was the smoothest, quickest, and most pleasant transaction of them all. They are a full service realty company without the full service prices, so using them was a no-brainer for us. We saved a bundle in fees, which was good since we just had twin boys. Todd is very professional, both in appearance and demeanor, and handled all of our issues with ease.
He had an excellent “feel” for the market, and took the time to give us pricing options and strategies to sell our house for maximum value. For us, it was also important that he had connections with contractors for our minor cleaning, repair and staging projects. We were also impressed that Todd had all the real estate forms available electronically, so we could review and even sign those forms remotely via computer. I would use Todd again without hesitation.”
“Todd’s professionalism and expertise was evident from the moment I began working with him on our home purchase in Atherton. Not only does he understand the local real estate market, he was always one step ahead of any potential issue…thereby avoiding any delays. Clear, articulate and proactive communications ensured that the transaction was handled in a timely and professional manner – not only for us, but everyone involved in the transaction. I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend working with MA Realty, Todd and Inna.”
“We had a great experience working with Todd and Inna for the sale of our home. Being a mother with 2 young kids and a full time job, I initially thought that I needed a full service agent. After meeting with Todd and Inna, I was convinced that even though they consider themselves as discount brokers, nothing about their work, dedication, and level of service is discounted.Todd and Inna had great connections and made it very easy to find all the services we needed to prepare our home for sale. I worked with Inna’s design and home staging company and she completely transformed our home to a “model home” and actually, momentarily gave us doubts about why we are selling at all! Their level of teamwork and efficiency is worthy to note. From the time we moved out, our home was staged and ready for MLS publication within one week. That is a testament to the great planning and execution this team brought to the table.Todd’s knowledge of the market, negotiation skills, and ability to price our home just right made the sale of our home easy and as stress free as selling a home could be. After the sale, we continued to keep in touch to ensure that all the paperwork went smoothly (use of docusign was a great time saver).”
“Todd and Inna are real pros. They know the market very well and clearly showed their expertise during the sale of our house. Not only did they keep us in the loop at every stage of the process, but they also addressed every single concern we raised. We would most definitely hire Menlo Atherton Realty for any of our real estate needs.”
