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.

Easy process with excellent results

I loved working with Anja, Emma and Rena. They were great communicators who kept me in the loop at every stage, they understand the market and have a ton of experience, and they made the process so easy. Everything from supporting with the disclosures, prepping my house, to laying out all the information clearly to decide on an offer was done with the highest attention to detail and thoughtfulness. And ultimately I got a better offer than I expected, which is the biggest win of all!

Nancy and Jack were generous with their time and experience throughout buying and selling our homes.

Nancy and Jack were generous with their time and experience throughout buying and selling our homes.

Nancy and Jack were very knowledgeable and gave very professional advice that turned out for the best. They were always available and their strategy worked perfectly for only a week and a half on the market before our house sold. Their team worked well together and accomplished a lot in a short amount of time giving crucial timely advice to close the sale. They were well versed in the East Bay market and toured multiple neighborhoods and houses to find our new single story home. They kept in touch with those 35 people who requested disclosure documents and encouraged people and finally the buyer to make a bid. The neighborhood open house was very successful and nice as were the staging and landscaping with real artwork and flowers and a great eye. We recommend them to everyone we know.

FIRST TIME BUYERS? Meet the best two humans to trust, for first and experienced buyers!

FIRST TIME BUYERS? Meet the best two humans to trust, for first and experienced buyers!

There are not enough words I can say about Candice and Dave. I was a first time home buyer, and incredibly overwhelmed by the process and had agents that I worked with that were not meeting my expectations. Once I signed on with Candice and Dave, since day 1, they were attentive, thoughtful, kind, and empathetic to my needs and concerns. They also were flexible with their schedules to accommodate mine. We toured over 30 houses and each one they kept my needs and desires in mind. They never shied away from speaking fearlessly, and would be honest when they felt some houses were not a good fit. Not only are they insanely skilled at their jobs, they have been in the East Bay real estate market for decades. They are a beloved member of this community and their network is vast. They helped connect me with a trusted lender, insurance company, and not only that, they have a network of contractors and builders that are trusted - the partnership extends beyond just a contractual sale - they really want to ensure you feel that you have everything you need to feel safe and secure as move forward with the biggest purchase of your life! If you are trying to buy a home for the first time (or even if it's not your first time) Candice and Dave are THE humans to help make this happen for you. I could not have gotten a DREAM HOME without them and I am so indebted to their helpfulness and kindness along this incredibly complex and emotionally taxing journey. Thank you, Candice and Dave for everything!!

Team Plowright was Awesome!

Anja and her team guided us through the sale of our home of 33 years in Berkeley CA and it was a great experience. Every angle was covered. From the estate sale to the remodeling of the kitchen to refinishing of the hardwood floors and updating the electrical,Team Plowright had a trusted professional to meet our needs! Communication is key to a successful sale and we felt listened to all along the way. You can’t go wrong with Anja and Team Plowright!

a curator’s eye and ear

a curator’s eye and ear

Working with Patricia made buying a home a true delight. Starting with our very first meeting, when she asked us to describe the homes we’d grown up in, we knew we were in the hands of someone who had made an art form out of matching people with houses. Her skilled artistic eye and calm competence helped us at every step of the process, whether it was knowing just which homes to send us to look at or helping us close on the house we most loved. When looking at houses together, she listened so well to us that she often knew before we did whether we wanted to live in any given place - and then would gracefully bring this information to our attention in a way that was unfailingly helpful. Also, she is so good at explaining complicated systems that we never felt lost or confused as first-time home buyers - what might have felt overwhelming in other circumstances instead felt interesting and fun. We feel so grateful to have gone through this process with Patricia and can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s got a rare set of gifts that suit her wonderfully to this work.
