Jeff, Heather and their team are incredible to work with! From our first meeting I knew we were on the same page.! All the things that go into selling a home~cleaning, inspections, staging, and showing of the property were completed in a timely and professional manner. Having support from our agent made selling our childhood home less of a burden and more of a legacy. I would highly recommend Jeff Goodman with Compass Reality!

With a challenging condo market, increased interest rates and economic uncertainty, we required more strategy, a lot of great energy and a little fairy dust too! Heather was open and honest the entire time. Good news or not- she always kept me informed.

Jeff was very competent and thorough. He communicated with me throughout the entire process. Although progress was slow, due entirely to me and the emotion of selling my childhood home after my mother’s passing, he was patient and kind. He was helpful in recommending resources for removal of household items, cleaning, etc. He also did not try to upsell services. Originally, we thought staging would be beneficial, but when it came time to put the home on the market, staging was not needed and he recommended against it. He was correct. We appreciated his professionalism and integrity. The entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Jeff and Compass and would definitely use his services again. You will be happy dealing with him!

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.
