Lori and Cheryl were excellent agents on our behalf for the sale of our home of almost 40 years, and for the purchase of another home more suitable for us. It was a difficult decision for us to leave our home, but it was necessary. Lori and Cheryl moved mountains for us to make the move as easy as possible. Terrific recommendations for home professionals to make repairs and improvements to the home, as well as to the home we were moving to. I can't recommend them highly enough. You won't find better agents.

Tina represented us in our search for a home in the Lamorinda area. She is highly knowledgeable about all of the neighborhoods in the area and has a strong instinct that guided us in our bids. Throughout our search, Tina cared deeply about learning about our likes and desires and needs in a home because she wanted to make sure we would find the right one. Tina is also well-connected--the home we ended up buying was found through her connection with another agent, and we were able to purchase it off market. Highly recommend.

I’ve known Jake for a few years now, and we’ve looked at several potential deals together along the way. Even though some of those opportunities didn’t work out, Jake always stayed in touch, kept bringing me deals, and never stopped looking for ways for us to work together. We finally got our first deal done together, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Jake was responsive, professional, easy to work with, and helped keep everything moving smoothly throughout the transaction. As a real estate investor, I really value agents who understand that not every property is going to be the right deal and who are willing to build a relationship for the long term. Jake is definitely one of those agents. I’m glad we finally got one across the finish line, and I’m looking forward to doing many more deals together in the future.

Cheryl and Lori were absolutely amazing to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for their guidance and support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

We were so happy with the work that Jake Adams did for us to find us the home of our dreams in Rockridge! Having lived in both the East Bay and the City- his knowledge is vast and he understands the market on a street-by-street basis. He is well-versed on commute times, traffic patterns, schools and local amenities and has the insider knowledge of great restaurants and hidden gems that only someone who has actually lived here would possess. If you are moving here for the first time, this is the agent you want by your side in this process. He is as thoughtful and conscientious as he is knowledgable. When we were looking for the right spot in the East Bay, we really took our time to narrow down which areas would suit our family best. He was able to listen to both my husband's and my requests of locale and bring us to many options through the process, he remained extremely patient through the process of viewing many homes. Furthermore, he kept us realistic and grounded through a process that is easy to get carried away with emotionally. He was the thoughtful mediator and guide- never telling us what he thought we wanted to hear, overselling or making false promises. On the Memorial Day Long weekend, Jake was working for us when we least expected it. He found out our dream home (that we had written off entirely as a possibility) had no offers after an initial open house. He urged us to act fast. He guided us and proved a shrewd negotiator- even the sellers agent congratulated him on the tactic's success. We couldn't have done it without his diligence and skill. After we closed, Jake was able to provide us with many local contractors, all who came promptly and did terrific work. He has a guy for everything including roofers, landscaping, and general contractors. Additionally, he was a great liaison of closing procedures between the sellers and us. In a process that requires hard decision making: choosing Jake to be our agent was not one of them.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Ellyn! As first-time home buyers, we entered the market with a lot of questions, but she guided us through every step of the home-buying process with unmatched patience and expertise. Ellyn took the time to truly listen to us, helping us figure out what we really wanted in a home. Throughout the journey, we felt supported through her thoughtful advice and encouragement. Ellyn was always available whenever we needed to hop on a quick call, answer a question, see a home, or talk through a detail. We are so grateful to her!

"Honest, patient, knowledgeable, and highly professional are just a few words that perfectly describe Elena. We chose to work with her after attending one of her open houses, where her incredible attention to detail and hard work were immediately obvious. Those traits are rare in the real estate world. Throughout our five-month search, Elena was with us every step of the way—scheduling inspectors, conducting thorough due diligence, and completely putting our minds at ease. Thanks to her extensive network, she ultimately found us an amazing off-market home. Elena truly listens, provides honest feedback, and always keeps her word. We highly recommend her to our friends and family without hesitation!"

As first-time home sellers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ellyn. Having grown up with her as a friend made the process feel even more comfortable, but what truly stood out was her professionalism, honesty, organization, and transparency every step of the way. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, was always available to answer our questions, and never made us feel like any concern was too small. During negotiations, she provided thoughtful guidance and helped us make informed decisions with confidence. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we always felt supported and well-informed. Selling a home for the first time can be overwhelming, but Ellyn made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Karen helped us during our home search over the past two years and showed us some homes in the area. She eventually helped us purchase a house that we really like, and I appreciate the work she did before the purchase. During the purchase, our experience was mixed. We sometimes felt rushed, and the process was not as smooth as we expected. An inspector was asked to return and check some of the seller’s repairs, but we were not told in advance that there would be an additional fee. We later discovered that the home warranty had not been included in our purchase, even though we do not recall being consulted about that decision. We also asked several times by email, text, and phone for help arranging a walkthrough before closing, but we did not get the walkthrough we requested. The biggest disappointment came after closing. Communication became very difficult, and many of our calls, texts, and emails went unanswered. We asked several times for help getting the HOA pool access key from the seller, but did not get a resolution through Karen. After taking possession, we found some appliances were not working. We also discovered a broken water valve in the backyard, and water had been runing for about three days. We had not been informed and only learned about it when a neighbor contacted us. The seller had also not closed the trash service account. I asked Karen to contact the seller, but after no follow-up, I eventually handled it myself. Karen had also offered, as a courtesy, to help us rent our previous home and connect us with remodeling contractors. We appreciated those offers, but did not receive the follow-up we expected. This was not our first home purchase, so we are familiar with the process. I appreciate Karen’s help in getting us to the purchase, which is why I am giving two stars rather than one. However, based on the communication and lack of follow-up around closing and afterward, I would not recommend her based on our experience.

We can't say enough good things about Jess and her teammate Lisa. We were searching for a home for our small and growing family in the Lafayette area, and actually met Jess by chance at a local restaurant, from that first conversation it was clear how well she knows the local market. As a fellow parent raising kids in the area, she genuinely understood what we were looking for in a home and a neighborhood, and that made all the difference throughout our search. Lisa was a great help along the way as well. We'd highly recommend Jess and her team to any family searching in Lafayette.
