Testimonials
El Cerrito United Methodist Church
It was a blessing to work with Dutra Cerro Graden toward selling El Cerrito UMC. They worked with us the last two years of my pastorate, and were uniquely qualified, because of their experience with "mission-based" organizations. They shared the church's value of discerning God's will for the future of the faith community, and helped us use our resources for what we believed God was calling us to. They were very patient as the church went through its process, and as we dealt with our judicatory to obtain permission.
It's important for churches to have access to excellent, reliable real estate advice, especially when making hard decisions like having to sell long-held and long-loved property. DGC provided just such advice. It mattered that everyone there trusted God to guide us all.

Our experience working with Dutra-Cerro-Graden was nothing short of perfection. They covered every base and brought expertise into every situation where needed.
Not having ever sold a commercial building, we relied significantly upon them to guide us through these uncharted waters and they delivered above and beyond our expectations. As the primary person handling this transaction, I had a very busy life and full daily schedule and didn't have the ability to push pause on life to dive into areas I knew nothing about with regards to navigating the sale of a commercial building.
Dominic and Landis were there for us every step of the way, even going beyond anything I thought a broker would or should do for you. Their professionalism and personal service is the kind of customer care I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. With many years of experience and a solid business acumen in the Bay Area, their extensive knowledge of the local commercial real estate market, government and business connections was evident from beginning to end.
If you're in the market to acquire or sell a building in the bay area, Dutra-Cerro-Graden gets 5 stars and I'm confident will exceed all your needs and expectations.
Price And Associates
I cannot say enough good things about Landis Graden. When my Firm was seeking to purchase an office space to accommodate our growth, Landis provided us with excellent guidance each step of the way. Through many disappointments and deceitful brokers, Landis never lost faith that he would find us a wonderful place. After more than a year of searching, we were able to locate and acquire a facility that perfectly meets our needs, through Landis and DCG's thorough and knowledgeable assistance.
Landis knows the market, he knows the business, and he knows how to take care of people - because he truly is a people person. His volunteer and charitable work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Landis and DCG, for their professional expertise, and for the extraordinary support that they provide to their clients.
PDFPeralta Mixed-Use Senior Housing
For the past two years, our firm has been working closely with Dutra Cerro Graden on a complex development transaction in Fremont, CA. They have been instrumental in helping us to consummate this high profile transaction.
Throughout the process they have provided us with vital input and assistance with respect to the arduous negotiation process with the sellers, the planning process and the political landscape within the City of Fremont. They have also assisted us in negotiating lease buyouts and interim leases with several retail tenants in order to lay the groundwork for their future relocation.
I have found their firm to be extremely competent and conscientious, and they have continually displayed the highest integrity and professionalism throughout the course of our relationship.
Salesian Society Provincial Office
The project was and is a sensitive one for the Salesian Society. Because of the complexity and sensitive nature of the situation we required our real estate consultant/broker to both have the ability to thoroughly listen to our objectives and then employ the skill sets necessary to accomplish what we required. In my view, Dominic Dutra and Alan Cerro were a perfect fit. They listened intently and then jumped into action. Their firm developed a series of presentations that were extremely professional, demonstrated their market knowledge and illustrated a command of the processes necessary to achieve the tasks set before them.
From my experience, I would gladly recommend Dutra Cerro Graden to any client seeking the highest caliber of expertise in land use and brokerage matters.
Monticello Terrace
Dominic took control of the marketing, construction and sales of Monticello Vista Estates. He handled the contractors with a firm hand and he assured every sale closed. Even a modest size project has infinite details that must be completed successfully for the whole to succeed and Dominic made it happen. Best of all he was great to work with and did everything with integrity.
Sisters of the Holy Family
I am particularly impressed with Mr. Dutra's great attention to details, such as timelines, the ongoing monitoring of the progress of the sale and ultimately, the timely completion of the project to the satisfaction of all involved.
Calvary Chapel Fremont
In three-and-a-half years of searching for a church building that would be a perfect fit for us, I have found Dominic to be the quintessential professional: informed, candid, patient, prompt, thorough and trustworthy.
Thanks to the professionalism and perseverance of Landis and Dominic, I am delighted to report we were able to close escrow on our simultaneous double transaction precisely on time! You can imagine the response from my board when I informed them we would not need to seek additional short-term funding. We estimate that Landis' and Dominic's effort enabled us to pay the Oakland city transfer tax once instead of twice - thereby saving us thousands of dollars.
