About Teresa
My journey into real estate didn’t begin in an office, but on 38 acres of woods and meadow. Fascinated by the tiny home movement, I enrolled in a building school and built my first tiny house on wheels - and somewhere in that process, I discovered how deeply personal a home truly is. I've since purchased my own land and helped build a second tiny home right here at Laney College in Oakland. Those experiences shaped how I see my work - a home is never just a purchase or a sale. It’s a place where you can be fully yourself, grow into your dreams, and let possibilities unfold. I’m here to help you find it. Before real estate, I spent a decade in public service - first as an FBI analyst decoding trends in numbers and patterns in human behavior, then as a change advisor at the Federal Reserve, working with senior leadership through one of the organization's most significant periods of transformation. My job was to make sure people didn’t just survive the change - they thrived through it. Today I bring that same blend of analytical precision and human understanding to buyers and sellers alike across the East Bay - from first-time buyers finding their footing and growing families needing room to expand, to empty nesters ready to sell and simplify, and relocation clients navigating a major move from a distance. Outside of real estate, you'll often find me in overalls, happily immersed in sawdust with my wood router and Skilsaw, brewing up my next DIY project or rolling up my sleeves for a community renovation. That resourceful, can-do approach is honestly just how I tackle most things: show up and dig in! The clients I connect with most value the same things I do: genuine connection, honest communication, and a relationship that doesn't end when the keys exchange hands. If you're looking for a guide who's as invested in your next chapter as you are, I’d love to be that person.

About Anastasia
Since moving to the East Bay in 2013, I've fallen in love with its diverse neighborhoods, architectural character, and vibrant communities. Building a life in a new place taught me just how significant—and emotional—real estate decisions can be, whether you're relocating, upgrading, or downsizing. Over the past decade, I've developed deep expertise across Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, Kensington, Albany, El Cerrito, and surrounding areas. I understand not only market dynamics but the distinct character of each neighborhood, from mid-century modern homes in the hills to classic craftsman-lined streets. This knowledge allows me to guide you with insight into pricing nuances, neighborhood fit, and long-term value. I support my clients with clear strategy, data-driven guidance, and a structured process designed to reduce stress and eliminate guesswork. Whether I'm preparing your home for market, helping you identify the right opportunity, or negotiating terms that protect your interests, every step is handled with care and expertise. If you're considering buying or selling in the East Bay, I'd love to connect. You'll receive honest insight, a clear plan, and expert guidance tailored to your goals—so you can move forward with confidence.

About Azadeh
Hi, I’m Azadeh and I love what I do. I’ve lived in the East Bay for over 30 years, raised my two daughters here, and know this community like the back of my hand. Real estate isn’t just my profession—it’s a personal passion. After earning my MBA from Mills College and building a strong foundation in banking and business consulting, I made the leap into real estate, where I found the perfect fit for both my analytical skills and my people-first mindset. I’m outgoing by nature and love connecting with people from all backgrounds. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your current one, or investing in something new, I’m here to make the process smooth, thoughtful, and fun. Since 2019, I’ve been recognized as one of the East Bay’s top producers—a reflection of how seriously I take my clients’ goals. What sets me apart is my dedication. I go all in—handling the details, guiding with strategy, and negotiating with care and precision. I’ve been through the process personally, so I understand how meaningful and life-changing a great real estate experience can be.

Above and beyond tailored experience

Teresa was my realtor for my first home purchase. She worked with me for over 5 months to navigate the complexities of first-time homebuying while the market was going through some big swings. We toured a lot of places together during this time until I found the perfect one. I also appreciate her for recommending an excellent loan advisor and making the process seamless. I learned a lot from her and won’t forget that she sat through hours of disclosures with me to make sure the house I bought was the right fit. I don’t expect many realtors to help their clients with the commitment and can do attitude that Teresa has. She was great at setting expectations for buying in the East Bay and crafting a winning strategy. I am very grateful that Teresa was on my team.

This realtor exceeded our expectations.

This realtor exceeded our expectations.

This realtor established a concise plan that resulted in the house being optimally prepared for the sale. First, they identified what elements would be necessary to revise, in order to maximize the sales price. Next, they brought in skilled specialists to perform the necessary rehab work. Their stager was excellent and captured the personality of the house. Finally, they determined an ideal listing price, obtaining multiple bids and a final sales price that was 11% over the listing price. We could not have had a better outcome and highly recommend this realtor for a superior sales experience.

I could not have had a more helpful or committed realtor.

Annie was dedicated to helping me sell my house. She made me aware of the solvable faults in my house and how to correct them for the best sales result. She arranged for a wonderful stager and a contractor to present the house in the best light. She arranged for inspections and kept me unto date on all the paper work etc Annie helped us buy the house in 2005 and I could not have asked for a better person to help me sell the house in 2026.

Laura is the Agent you want

Laura has an incredible grasp on the Berkeley Market. She also is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to identifying issues in disclosures as well as how to mitigate them. Even after closing Laura offers her time to assist with connecting us with reputable people in her network for any of our housing needs. I cannot recommend Laura enough!

Strong recommendation for Anja Plowright and team. From initial introductory call to handover of keys, Anja, Emma and Rena delivered seasoned professionalism, deep market knowledge and friendly rapport. As a team, they are able to be very responsive whether by text, email, phone or seeing a listing in person. In a very competitive and sometimes complex East Bay market, our effort was surprisingly smooth and quick, many thanks to Anja, Emma and Rena.

Emma found us our ideal home

Emma found us our ideal home

Emma helped us find our ideal home. We didn’t think we’d be able to find a home within our budget in the area that we did, but her keen eye and deep understanding of what we were looking for (and what we could love without) led to the one we eventually purchased. Emma went above and beyond to open the house for us a second time before putting in an offer, and being incredibly responsive. She has a knack for negotiating offers, and was able to get us a favorable price on our home. She continues to help us post close with recommendations for flooring specialists, locksmiths and more - everyone she’s recommended has also been great. We highly recommend Emma for your East Bay housing search!
