If you are reading this review and debating who to trust with the sale of your home, let me save you some time: Work with Steven! Selling a home in Piedmont requires a specific level of nuance, market insight, and strategy, and Steven has all of these in spades. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he wasn't just trying to get a listing; he was invested in a partnership. What truly sets Steven apart is his definition of service. To say he went "above and beyond" is an understatement. He handled details that I hadn't even considered, managed the preparation of the home with concierge-level precision, and navigated the complexities of the Piedmont market with absolute confidence. He absorbed the stress of the process so that I didn't have to. The result? A seamless sale and an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Steven is not just a realtor; he is a master negotiator and a genuinely kind human being. He negotiated a tricky title situation with a calm expedience that enabled a timely close. It is without hesitation that I recommend Steven. You will be glad you worked with him.

Working with Lisa was smooth from start to finish. She is not only a dear friend, but also extremely trustworthy and honest. Her communication is top-notch—clear, consistent, frequent, and organized. Selling a challenging home in a tough market could have easily been stressful, but Lisa’s expertise and project-management skills made the entire process feel smooth and pain-free, right up to the very last moment of closing. Her marketing skills are top notch across every platform, and her social media presence was especially creative, fun to watch, and strong. She went above and beyond in every possible way, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. I’m proud to call Lisa both an amazing realtor and a wonderful friend. I can’t thank her enough. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, don’t think twice—call her!

I’m a single mother with a young child that knew very little about the Oakland real estate market and over the course of a year and a half, Nicole patiently worked with me and around my limited schedule, my specifications and my budget to help me learn about various neighborhoods and housing options. We eventually found the exact right place and home, and my son and I love it! Nicole made the purchase itself as seamless as possible—she had a great relationship with the sellers’ agents (as she does with many of the areas agents). I can’t recommend her enough!

We had a fantastic experience working with Audrey. She guided us through every step of the selling process with exceptional knowledge and a calm, confident approach. From advising us on the ideal timing to go to market to helping us prepare the house, she consistently offered smart, thoughtful guidance that kept us on track. Her organization and expertise made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent.

After a long and impersonal search for the “perfect” house on Zillow, we met Nicole and immediately felt well taken care of. She showed us a terrific candidate property, we compared notes and features, really liked what we saw, and almost instantly, before the call to the broker the next day, found it sold! Undeterred, Nicole keep up the search for us. We lived half a state away, and so relied on her judgement sifting through the leads, several of which she visited before passing on them as not being “a good fit” to meet our needs. Her low key, but assiduous representation paid off when we we fell in love with “right” house. There her skills really paid off. It was a seller’s market, with the typical bids going well over asking, and the house had many suitors. Having a background in finance and contract management, Nicole was able to work with us on structuring a creative and attractive offer to the seller, but at the same time “keeping it real” for us novice buyers, Once in escrow, she followed up on our contingencies, and made sure that we had the opportunity to make a thorough and cool headed decision on the significant purchase. It became a huge and time consuming move for us, and Nicole has kept in touch and her eye on our progress. Now that we are settled into our wonderful home, we embrace Nicole as a friend and wish her the best for her new relationship with the Grubb Company.

As longtime Bay Area residents but first-time homeowners, we're so grateful to have worked with Lisa Chan Carnazzo at The Grubb Co. to find our forever home. Lisa's deep Piedmont roots, clear communication, and expert guidance helped us navigate every step with confidence. She even welcomed us with an ice cream truck block party to meet our new neighbors -- the sweetest start to our next chapter! We can't recommend her highly enough.

As longtime Bay Area residents but first-time homeowners, we are so grateful to have worked with Lisa Chan Carnazzo at The Grubb Co. to find our forever family home. Lisa is an exceptional communicator who guided us through every twist and turn of the real estate market with clarity, patience, and honesty. As a longtime Piedmont resident herself, Lisa’s hyper-local knowledge and deep community connections were invaluable in helping us navigate this competitive market. Her insight and relationships made all the difference — our patience paid off, and we landed the very first house we made an offer on! Throughout escrow, Lisa provided thoughtful guidance that helped us feel confident and empowered at every step. But what truly sets her apart is her genuine care for her clients and her community. She went above and beyond to welcome us into our new neighborhood — even organizing an ice cream truck block party to introduce us to our neighbors! It was such a joyful and heartwarming start to our next chapter. Thank you, Lisa — we couldn’t have done it without you, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

I first met Julie as a neighbor, and over time came to see that she is someone with great integrity, passion, knowledge, smarts, and oodles and oodles of energy. When I decided to sell my condo by the lake, there was no doubt that I would turn to Julie to be my broker. I have sold and purchased homes in the past, and can say without reservation that Julie truly went above & beyond. She was my guide, navigator, resource & referral coordinator, hand holder, panic de-escalator, and all-around expert. I appreciated her honesty and humility above all. I have not hesitated to share her name with others!

Lisa recently helped us purchase our new home in Piedmont, and we honestly couldn’t imagine going through the process without her. From the very beginning, she took the time to really understand what we were looking for and guided us through every step with such care, knowledge, and professionalism. Buying in such a competitive market felt daunting, but Lisa knew exactly how to strategize and position us to succeed. She was proactive, incredibly responsive, and always one step ahead. Thanks to Lisa, we were able to find and win a home that we absolutely love. We’re so grateful for her dedication, expertise, and support — she truly made all the difference!
