Lisa went above and beyond to get my house sold, and it was an especially difficult house to sell. There were definitely some features of the house which caused many buyers to walk away, and she still secured me an offer which I was very happy with. Lisa selected top notch staging which fit my budget, and she thought of many unique and helpful touches to add for the open houses and advertising which drew in enough buyers to get us an offer, in the ideal timeline and price range. She was always lightning fast to respond to any questions, and she kept me updated and in the loop about everything which was happening with the house sale. She also helpfully addressed several issues which came up during the process of negotiation and closing the sale. Pretty much any roadblock that came up, she cleared it immediately with skill and grace. Most of all, I appreciate that she was kind and thoughtful during the whole process. You will be lucky to work with Lisa, and I'm very thankful that I had her help to sell my home.

As first-time homebuyers, the process of purchasing a home felt overwhelming and daunting, but Nicole Mendoza made it all manageable. From the very beginning, she was a calming voice, guiding us through each step with amazing clarity and patience. Nicole took the time to thoroughly explain every detail, ensuring we felt confident in our decisions. Her availability was incredible—whether it was late-night calls or early morning emails, Nicole was always there, especially when we faced challenges with our lender. She handled every aspect of the process, from making sense of inspection results to negotiating a favorable price on our behalf. Thanks to Nicole, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and positive journey. We absolutely love our new home and couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a realtor who is kind, responsive, and truly invested in your success, Nicole Mendoza is the one you want by your side.

Erica was great to work with on the entire process of our search and eventual closing on the new property. She was patient with us as we navigated through what it was that were looking for. She was a huge help as we narrowed our search and came up with our priorities on finding a new home. Once we were in the offer stage, she was persistent in working through the negotiation with the sellers. This particular purchase was a TIC and it required the team to go above and beyond in order to bring it across the finish line. Erica was instrumental in finding the best lender for us and making sure all of the items were complete and done on time. I would highly recommend working with her and would love to work with her again in the future.

Erica was amazing from start to finish. We live abroad now, which made the process complex, but Erica took control of the situation and put our minds at ease. She coordinated everything, suggested renovations to boost our property value, and then oversaw the work on top of handling all sales-related logistics. Her deep knowledge of the general Oakland market, the nuances of our neighborhood, and what renovations would bring the highest return on investment directly led to us getting a selling price for our home that was higher then we had hoped for. We cannot recommend Erica highly enough. She’s wonderful.

Lisa is a master of her craft. We were fortunate to meet her at one of her open houses. We had been searching for several months and had already put in multiple offers on homes with another realtor that were unsuccessful, so we decided to switch realtors and work with Lisa because she brought invaluable new insights and expertise about the Piedmont and Alameda County areas. Throughout our search, she was always accommodating, responding to our requests quickly, and dedicating time to research homes we liked. As first-time home buyers, Lisa was extremely patient and willing to explain each step of the process with us and provided useful referrals for lenders, insurers, and more. She not only made the process easy, but looking at homes with her was a lot of fun! From before we submitted our offer to the day we closed, Lisa was always on top of everything to ensure we would close in just 15 days. It was clear Lisa has a stellar reputation and strong relationships with everyone in the industry. There were many hurdles along the way but Lisa was always responsive with guidance and recommendations. Without her, we would not have been able to land our dream home (and it was our first offer with her)! We could not recommend her more!

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Jennifer. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate field. She goes above and beyond and gets to really know you, and then uses that knowledge to inform her guidance around decision making. She really cares about her clients, and 2 years later she still keeps in touch with us and checks in from time to time.We will absolutely use her for all real estate needs moving forward!

Erica helped me buy a house for my mother. It was a somewhat complicated transaction because my mother was doing a property tax transfer and needed to sell her existing home before closing on a new one. Erica was very knowledgeable and made a complicated process relatively simple.

Jennifer is a one-woman tour de force. Readying my 100-year-old+ childhood home for sale was a project that made me want to nap forever and ever to escape the work. It turns out there was little to escape. Jennifer did it all, from helping secure the labor for removing 50 years’ worth of STUFF, to bringing in one high-quality-but-not-high-cost skilled contractor after another to being in tune with the niche market for our property. Jennifer took the lead on a daunting project and delivered a great buyer and price. Priceless.

Jennifer made my search for a home a pleasure from start to end. She has endless interest in finding, arranging, and showing choices. Her finger is on the pulse of the market, and she correctly predicted numerous sale prices. I felt especially guided through negotiations and escrow. Even though I thought I asked for a lot, she found ways for me to feel good about asking and achieved my requests. I love her calm demeanor, which is matched with expert care.

Jennifer is simply the best! Last spring, my partner I were first time home buyers living in D.C., looking for our first house in the bay area. From across the country, Jennifer made us feel taken care of and optimistic in a tough market--she scouted out houses on our behalf, called agents to learn the details, and guided us through dozens of tours on our visits west. Jennifer also listened to our needs and communicated promptly and thoughtfully--when we were in the thick of it, hardly a day went by when we didn't talk to her! And when it came time to make offers, Jennifer was deeply methodical; she carefully reviewed comps to help us write competitive offers and walked us through the contract process with endless patience. When the offer on our now-home was accepted, Jennifer was the first person we wanted to celebrate with! If you're looking for a house in the bay, look no further. If we had the funds, we'd buy another house just to continue working with Jennifer--seriously, she's that great!

Erica was so enthusiastic and patient throughout the entire home buying process. It was our first home and she was great about giving us different options and travelling to all sorts of far-flung locations in the Bay Area so that we could find the perfect home to fit our needs. She was extremely responsive and available and was great at getting us in touch with the right people to take care of the many pieces that need to be in place for such a large purchase. She also knew the local market extremely well and was able to give us valuable perspective whenever we had questions. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. Erica worked hard for us and added value to the process at every step.
