THE GRUBB CO. - Montclair

Ilona has been working with my husband and I for over two years trying to find our dream home. She has met up with us countless times at potential homes and very transparent about her thoughts on every home based on our wish list for our dream home. She paid attention, pivoted, made suggestions and gave us food for thought. It was helpful she is a Bay Area local who is also a parent so it made our interactions more helpful and meaningful. She answered all of our messages in a timely manner, sat down with us to go over language we didn’t understand as first time homeowners and did not sugarcoat the pros and cons. When we finally found The Home for our growing family she went above and beyond with Inna to get everything to us in a timely manner, very detailed emails and opportunities to call/text to answer any questions we had. The process went smoothly and I appreciated how she advocated for us with this home pricing and items that’s needed to be fixed for our home from the previous owner. I will forever appreciate her attention to details and how personable she is. I will definitely keep her in mind if we get an itch to purchase another home. I definitely recommend utilizing her services. She won’t rush you into a buy and transparency is her motto, which makes her trustworthy.

If you are looking to buy in Piedmont, Lisa is the agent for you! Lisa's relationships with other agents in the area gave us a real edge. She knew how to position our offers competitively without overpaying, and her negotiation instincts were spot-on every step of the way. What also set Lisa apart was her responsiveness. She was always reachable and incredibly flexible when it came to scheduling tours, which made the whole process feel much less stressful. But perhaps what we valued most was how she showed up as a true partner in our search. Lisa took the time to really listen to what mattered to us, and as our thinking evolved, she evolved right alongside us, helping us get clear on our priorities without ever pushing her own agenda. If you're buying in Piedmont, you'd be lucky to have her in your corner.

Jane and Carrie analyzed the property and provided their recommendations to enhance the sale. After living in our home for 30 years, we were hesitant to change the "culture" of the house. They convinced us that specific changes needed to be made to update and improve the home's appearance. They guided us through the process of readying the home for sale/handled the open house/receipt of offers/and eventual sale in a professional manner. The house sold very quickly.

Regina Jacobs was recommended by everyone, including realtors we met in other counties. We'd met her in open houses through the years and decided to go with her based on the strength of the word of mouth reviews we'd heard. From the start she was honest, professional, understanding, and, client-centered. She was always available to help us with the many confusing aspects of the selling process. Relationship-wise, she would call a contractor or materials store and they would instantly be on board. At one point, someone offered to open their closed store immediately so we could look at finishes! That relationship building worked on our end as well. We never felt "handled" or pushed into anything. She was entirely on top of all the prep work that needed to be done. We joke that it's too bad we can't hire Regina to run our next remodel. We had, naturally, concerns over getting the house ready for sale. She always worked within our budget, but as a seller, you can't know if the money is well spent until the sale happens. My wife and I are both financiallly cautious prople. In the end, we followed her suggestions. When we sold our home for well over what we ever imagined we would get, I said to her, "Regina, we did everything you asked and you delivered." Despite a very strong offer, she made sure we had a back-up in contract as well. She was always prepared for different scenarios and I always felt that she was being honest with us. Regina was a true partner in the sale of our home and a kind and communicative person with an incredibly deep knowledge of all the aspects of the market here, from finishes to staging to landscaping to contracts and permits.

Lisa is an authentic and caring real estate agent who represented us in the sale of our longtime family home. We initially got possessive over the details when freshening up our home to get it market-ready. Once Lisa listened, allayed our concerns and had us trust in the process, we left the details to her. Her communication was great from start to finish. We met in the fall, wanting to sell in the spring. She knew the timing of which day to reveal our house on MLS based on the school calendar and worked backwards to time each piece needed to meet that date. The marketing materials she prepared were exceptional. The social media reels she developed were fun and highlighted the features of our home. Our house was on the market for 12 days and we received multiple offers. We weren’t sure what to expect in this market, but Lisa knows what buyers’ want and we very pleased with the outcome.
