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.

Heather is simply outstanding. She was always available and responsive to any questions we had. She had solutions to our challenges, and if she didn't, she had good reason why. She and her team went above and beyond to help make things happen in a timely manner. Even though we knew she had other people to attend to, she made us feel like we were her top priority. On top of all of this, she is fun to work with! We will not hesitate to recommend Heather to anyone.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeff to sell our family home of 50 years, and the experience could not have been better. From start to finish, Jeff handled every detail with the highest level of professionalism. He took the extra time to carefully explain each step of the process and walked us through all of the regulatory documents so that we always felt informed and comfortable. His patience, knowledge, and clear communication made what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless. Selling a home filled with so many memories was a big step for us, and Jeff’s thoughtful guidance truly made it a pleasant experience. We are grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I really can't say enough good things about Jeff Goodman and his team. Jeff is the consummate real estate professional. He is experienced, has a deep understanding of the constantly-changing real estate market, and he inspires confidence with sellers, like me, and clearly with buyers as well. He also has the extremely capable support of his team – I'm especially looking at you, Rebecca – so there is always a friendly, knowledgable someone to help you with any question or issue. Although my home was a modest one, Jeff and team put together all the resources to present it in the very best light -- from staging, to truly excellent photography, to window cleaning. They even included overhead (drone?) shots in the presentation package. Amazing! I owe special thanks to Jeff for sticking with me for about four years, throughout which I hemmed and hawed about selling my home. I think many agents would have stopped answering my telephone calls after a year or two. On top of that, my property was a co-op, which presents a multitude of unique challenges, all of which Jeff handled with skill and tact. He more than earned his very reasonable commission! Finally, I've come to realize that a real estate agent is part sales rep, part strategist, part advisor, and a little bit psychotherapist. At least in some situations, selling your home may bring up a host of different emotions, and it really helps to have an agent who understands that as well. Jeff is an all-around nice guy -- patient, even-tempered, and supportive, and he will keep you laughing through the inevitable ups and downs you'll encounter when selling your home. Whether your home is a high-end mansion or a humble condo, and whether it will be easy or hard to sell, you will be in great hands with Jeff and his team.

The way Heather and Jeff personalized our home-selling process was simply amazing! Their attention to detail, patience, kindness, and local market knowledge made us feel completely at ease. They maintained open lines of communication from day one and went above and beyond in providing my family and me with such a positive experience. We were able to get our house on the market in record time and were continually impressed by the professionalism they extended to their colleagues, contractors, fellow realtors, and our family. We are so grateful to them and appreciative for their guidance and expertise! We would highly recommend Heather and Jeff to potential clients looking for a transparent and trusting relationship with their realtor.

Jeff is an expert in Alameda real estate. He kept us updated consistently at every step, gave excellent advice regarding how to prep the house for sale, had it staged beautifully, and provided trustworthy guidance when we needed to make key decisions. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is a consummate professional and a truly nice guy.

If you are selling a house, do yourself a favor and hire Heather Duke. She is completely up front about what you can expect and then works tirelessly to make it happen. She will prepare your home for sale, market it beautifully and then communicate with other agents and curious buyers ensuring that you get the best deal possible.

Jeff was incredibly helpful as we were preparing the home for sale, going far above and beyond my expectations. He managed each aspect of the project efficiently and graciously, and knew exactly which trades people he could trust to provide fair quotes and excellent service. He facilitated fuss-free digital signing and excellent communication from start to finish. So grateful for his assistance.

Jeff was always available to show the property, to sign papers and letting me know the status of the sale. Everything moved along quickly and efficiently.

I met Heather at a showing quite a few years ago and knew right then that she would be our buyers agent if and when we found a house. Over the years she would keep in touch and keep us in mind. We made a few offers, but nothing materialized. Recently a house came up and we liked it so made an offer. She worked with us and the selling agent, was persistent and our offer was finally accepted while we were on extended foreign travel. With her experience, she managed to navigate a very very complex closing while we were out of town, dealt with a short delay in closing due to the insurance situation in CA and we closed. She is knowledgeable, excellent negotiator, extremely patient, able to work with a very meticulous person (me) and to boot, she is genuinely a nice person and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended, would use her again.

Working with Heather was fun and a breath of fresh air. She really listened to my personal wants and needs for a home. She never tried to push me outside of my parameters to make the sale and always had my best interest in mind. She was very patient with me and my process and helped me along the way. While I hope to never need her services again for myself I would 100% use her again if I did!

Heather knows and understands the housing market. She gives excellent guidance and works hard for you. She really listens to her clients interests and needs. She is an excellent communicator, constantly checking in without any pressure. When we finally chose a house, she gave us great advice about the approach to take and then made it happen. We couldn't be happier with the experience or the result!
