For over two years, we patiently explored different neighborhoods and home options until we finally found the right one for our family. We are very grateful for all the help and guidance Victoria provided throughout our home-buying journey. We were very focused on finding the right layout, proportions, and neighborhood for our forever home. When this home became available, Victoria moved quickly and guided us through the entire process with strong communication, thoughtful strategy, and negotiation skills that helped us successfully secure the home in a competitive situation. What we especially appreciate is her continued support even after closing. She generously shared many helpful resources and recommendations for renovations, contractors, paint selections, lighting, and landscaping ideas, which made the transition into our new home much easier and less stressful. Our family truly appreciates all of her assistance, and we are excited to finally move into our forever home.

Dana set reasonable expectations at the start. She gave us cost estimates that turned out to be surprisingly (to us) accurate. She outlined the entire process in advance and gave us a very clear sense of her strategy — and so, as we hit key steps, we understood what was happening and why. We felt like we were all on the same page from our first meeting through closing. The ongoing conversation with her kept us at ease. When we were nervous, she was steady. When we were tired, she was pleasant. And that, really, was a big part of this. As high as the stakes were, every interaction, every call, every meeting was easy. Those meetings lightened our mood. We so enjoyed working with her.

Working with Claudia Scott was a wonderful experience, and we are incredibly grateful for her expertise during our out-of-state relocation. She is a good communicator who was always highly responsive, she tailored everything to our schedules and listened carefully to our ideas without ever pushing an agenda. Claudia made our transition seamless by organizing perfectly timed home tours whenever we were in town, demonstrating an understanding of the local neighborhoods and our specific budget parameters. Even when we were on vacation out of the country, her professional collaboration with the seller’s agent allowed us to submit an offer and successfully secure a contract. From her local vendor referrals to her patience in explaining every step of the process, Claudia went above and beyond to find us the right house, making what could have been a stressful cross-country move a fantastic experience. We highly recommend her!

We recently worked with Lisa for the second time, this time to sell our home in Montclair. Once again, she delivered incredible results. From the beginning, Lisa took ownership of the entire process end to end. She coordinated inspections, repairs, cleaning, staging, photography, and all the countless details that come with preparing a home for sale. It made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and organized. One thing that stood out was how proactive and resourceful she was when unexpected issues came up. For example, after a particularly large storm, we discovered a minor roof issue 2 days before offers were due. Lisa jumped into action, getting multiple roofers out the very next day so we could quickly understand the problem and address it before offers were due. Her fast response helped reassure potential buyers and likely contributed to at least one additional offer. Lisa also did a remarkable job marketing our home. Through her network and outreach, our listing gained major attention online, including going viral on TikTok. As a result, our open houses were packed with 60+ groups each day. Despite a challenging market for sellers in Oakland right now, we received 8 offers and ultimately sold significantly above asking (and even above our own hopeful expectations). Throughout the process, Lisa was highly engaged and communicative, checking in frequently with updates. Most importantly, Lisa got results while making a stressful process quite simple for us. If you're looking for someone who knows the Montclair and Piedmont markets and will truly roll up their sleeves for you, we highly recommend working with her.

Marcia Weske is an excellent real estate agent that knows the Bay Area market so well. She was in constant communication with us and helped us through the process with grace and patience. She was able to garner more offers than we could have imagined, working closely with other agents, so that the final sale price was beyond our dreams. We enjoyed not only her expertise, but also her sense of humor and general positive vibe.

Jim kept us in the loop at every step of the process. He helped us find competent contractors to help us with estimates for the work and made certain we were aware of the specifics required to purchase a house in Oakland. He really went out of his way to accomodate us throughout. He was thorough, caring, knowledgeable and always pleasant. I highly recommend him and thoroughly trust his judgement and honesty. 10 out of 5 stars!!!

Working with Lisa was an incredible experience from start to finish. She truly knows the ins and outs of the Piedmont market and helped us navigate an extremely competitive buying process with confidence. She was responsive, honest, strategic, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout every step — from evaluating disclosures and inspections to helping us understand pricing, timing, and what it would take to submit a strong offer in this market. We always felt like we were in good hands. What stood out most was how well she understood the local market and community. Her experience and guidance were invaluable, and we genuinely do not think we would have found our dream home without her. We’re so grateful for all of her hard work and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Piedmont or the East Bay.

Jane and her team were instrumental in our purchase of a home in Piedmont, and we genuinely feel we got a great deal thanks to her guidance. What set Jane apart was her judgment on timing and offer strategy. In a market where it's easy to overpay out of urgency or miss out by hesitating, she helped us assess each opportunity carefully — knowing when to bid aggressively and when to hold back. That discipline made all the difference in the final outcome, and it also protected our time by keeping us focused on the right properties. Her assistant Carrie was equally exceptional. She accommodated our schedule by showing us homes at odd hours and consistently made herself available on short notice to let in inspectors, contractors, and other professionals as we evaluated properties. That kind of flexibility is rare and saved us enormous time and stress. Throughout the process, Jane and Carrie were warm, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They gave us honest assessments and never pushed us toward a decision that wasn't right for us. We'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone navigating the East Bay market.

Marcia Weske is the most thorough and knowledgeable agent. She stayed on top of everything we needed to get not only the purchase of our new amazing home but also the sale of our old home pretty much at the same time!
