We had an excellent experience working with Jeff during the purchase of our home in Alameda. From start to finish, he communicated clearly and consistently, always keeping us informed and making sure our best interests were represented throughout the process. Jeff's deep knowledge of Alameda was especially valuable. As a native of the town, he brought local insight that gave us confidence in both the property and the neighborhood. He was also instrumental in helping manage a more complex transaction involving our 1031 exchange, coordinating seamlessly with the appraiser, escrow team, inspectors, and other moving parts to help keep everything on track. Even beyond closing, his support has continued. He has connected us with trusted local contractors and service providers for sewer inspection and replacement, handyman work, and other unexpected items that came up during escrow and after taking ownership. Having access to fair pricing and reliable local referrals has been incredibly helpful. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Alameda. His professionalism, local expertise, strong communication, and continued support made a potentially stressful process much smoother.

I’m a senior citizen and Heather has helped me on a few transactions. I trust her immensely. Buying and selling is stressful. Heather calm demeanor and responsiveness is appreciated. She’s a great problem solver when and if glitches come up. Her strong integrity is what comes to mind when describing Heathers work ethic. Plus she is just a genuine and kind human being. She was incredibly easy to work with.

Selling my late father's home, when I've never purchased or sold property before, had me very stressed out. I was unsure what to do, scared about messing things up, and emotional about letting go of my childhood home. Then... along came Jeff. He came highly recommended and I can see why. From our very first phone call I felt my stress levels subside. The entire process was smooth, easy to understand, and he never once made me feel like a question I had was silly. Super warm, friendly, and a great communicator, Jeff's just an all-around nice guy to do business with. His team and collaborators were also efficient, competent, and friendly. I would happily work with Jeff again! Oh, and did I mention he got us NINE offers?! On an old fixer upper? My family was thrilled with the results, and thrilled with the stress-free process.

This is actually our 4th transaction with Heather. We were able to purchase this condo next door to mine for my senior mother to live in. My mom had to sell her previous residence of 40yrs (less valuable) and Heather represented her in the sale. Mom has now moved to a senior living residence and we just sold the condo (IN FOUR DAYS)! My observation in working with Heather is, she gives the same amount of attention, energy and effort whether it’s a massive Gold Coast Mansion or a smaller cozy Harbor Bay Isle Condo. That is meaningful to us as everyone’s assets vary but Heathers devotion to representing homes and her clients does not. She is who I recommend or refer when anyone’s asks if I know a good Realtor…. Actually, I know a great one!

Jeff Goodman guided my brother and I through the sale of our family home with professionalism and sensitivity. His extensive experience helped to keep us on track, navigating ups and downs, with positivity and good humor. Jeff communicated every step along the way and responded to our calls and questions immediately. He was always open to our thoughts, trusting our long history with the house to aid in the process. It felt like we were a team, working with Jeff, and we would recommend him without hesitation.

We had an awesome experience working with Becca to purchase our home in Alameda. Becca is pleasant and patient, and has excellent communication skills. She is very hardworking, responsive, and responsible. She helped us to effectively navigate some tricky situations that came up with the seller during the rent back. She also helped us out with coordinating some work that had to be completed before we moved in. Becca also made our home buying experience extra special with some thoughtful gestures and gifts. We recommend Becca!

Very satisfied with Jeff's level of experience. No matter what weird situation came up, he was able to provide calm guidance. He kept me up to date with everything happening and made sure every decision was mine without being overwhelming. I was quite happy with the overall experience as well as the end result.

If you want a drama-free, home purchase or sale, use Heather Duke's crews. You will not be disappointed.

Heather continues to offer ongoing advice, assistance and support as I navigate both purchase and sale.

This was my first time selling and Heather absolutely crushed it. Right from the start, she asked how involved I wanted to be or if she should just "make the house pretty and get it sold" - I went with the latter and she totally ran with it. The communication was top-notch the whole way through. She kept me updated on everything, drove the entire process, and honestly just handled it all like a pro. The whole thing moved pretty fast and she got us a great deal. She really went above and beyond in every possible way. If you're looking to sell in Oakland or the East Bay, I can't recommend Heather enough.

Buying our first home was such a big step, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Becca Anderson! From the very beginning, she made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Becca was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way. She was always available to answer our many questions, explained everything clearly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident in our decisions. Her professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. Thanks to Becca, we found our perfect first home and we’re so grateful for her expertise and kindness throughout the process. She surpassed all expectations we had going into this process. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly has your best interests at heart, we can’t recommend Becca Anderson enough!

When I first met Rebecca at an open house I was immediately struck by her generous spirit, her approachable style, and professionalism. I knew right away she was an agent I could deeply rely on with such a stressful, personal transaction. She approached each phase of the purchase with timely and responsive feedback, attending not only to my needs, but the demands placed on us by everyone involved in the process. I was particularly impressed at her ability to manage the complex coordination of escrow for a less traditional coop purchase. At close, she and her team made me feel like I was their best and only client and the celebration of the sale made me feel welcomed and accomplished. I am truly grateful for the expertise Rebecca provided, so much so I trusted her with the sale of my condo as well! As my listing agent now also, I can see where her gifts truly shine. Thank you Becca, Jeff, Heather, and the Goodman Group for everything you have done.
