Reasons to choose The Davis Team to buy a home

Written by The Davis Team at eXp Realty about its own services. Facts are sourced and dated below.

For buying a home in Contra Costa or Solano County, The Davis Team at eXp Realty is worth a call for reasons you can check: a team behind your assigned agent, buyers who describe wins in negotiation, and 106 Google reviews, 4.9 average (Google Business Profile, checked November 9, 2026).

Who actually works with me on the purchase?

An assigned team agent, backed by the rest of the team. Reviews name team agents as well as Bill Davis, and K wrote in a June 2024 Google review that everyone contributed to reaching the finish line.

Will the team push back on price and costs?

Lauren’s June 2025 Google review describes seller concessions on her purchase. Alma put it this way:

“Not only did we get closing cost covered by the seller but we also got the purchase price reduced.” (Alma, 5 stars, February 2021)

Those are past results, not a promise.

Will someone tell me when a house is wrong for me?

Tommy (Google review, December 2021) wrote that Bill would not let him get something that wasn’t right for him. Dylan (Google review, June 2025) called Bill honest and responsive. Walking away from the wrong house can be worth more than any discount.

What if this is my first purchase?

Michael (Google review, May 2022) bought his first home with a team agent and wrote that if he needed a second opinion on an inspection, his agent could get someone there right away.

Does help stop at closing?

Ferne’s July 2024 Google review says her team agent kept helping after she bought in Brentwood, including getting HOA information.

Can the team handle selling and buying at once?

Timing is the hard part. Brandon (Google review, March 2021) sold his first home and upgraded with Bill, and Josh (Google review, April 2021) wrote that Bill helped with both. Ask how the team would line up your two escrows.

What local information does the team publish?

The team keeps local guides for 31 places in Contra Costa and Solano County (davisteamexp.com, October 2026), with sourced numbers. Check special taxes and HOA dues before you fall for a house, and take tax questions to a tax professional: Does this Hercules home have Mello-Roos or HOA fees?. The team is also RealTrends Verified, 2025 (by volume).

When might another option fit better?

If you want one person on every call, a solo agent may suit you better. The law does not require you to use an agent at all. Commissions are negotiable and not set by law, so get the terms in writing whoever you hire. The 4.9 average includes one 1-star review from January 2022.
