THE GRUBB CO. - North Berkeley

Karthiga was always in good communication with us about our house and how it was presented in the market. She called us whenever there was a specific issue and was very detailed about what we needed to address such as the garden, repairing window frames, painting the outside and inside of the house. She made sure that every detail was addressed when it came to showing the house and afterwards. She also helped us with downsizing our furnishings and had good recommendations for places and people to help us remove furniture and other appliances. Karthiga was always ready to answer questions and a great help in getting our house ready to show and in the end, sold the house quickly at a good price for us.

Martha skillfully guided us through the challenging real estate market in the East Bay for more than 6 months. We were new to this current Bay area real estate market and quite shocked by the pricing and bidding process. Martha’s advice was essential in guiding us to our new home. She listened to our reactions to various properties and pointed out strengths and weaknesses, such as foundation issues, house layout, and how it matched up (or not) with our wish list. She was always quick to respond to our questions, calls and requests for scheduling house viewings, and willing to write offers no matter the time of day or even on her vacation. She has the practical experience of remodeling her own home as well as preparing hundreds of homes for the market for her clients, which we found very valuable as we toured houses. Martha is a highly skilled agent and a wonderful person to work with. Her humor and good cheer brought a sense of fun to the search for our new home.

Car figure always took into consideration, my personality and capabilities in recommending location and actual places for me. She was very observant of what would suit me and pointed out things that would not. I found her always available to go out with me and search new locations and condos. She kept in good touch with me. She kept in mind both my husbands and my interests and neat.

Martha is a wonderful realtor - she helped us navigate a complex situation (purchasing our rental property from our landlord) from beginning to end , all the while being extremely responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Martha knows the nuances of real estate buying and selling in different parts of Oakland extremely well. Having Martha represent us allowed us to submit an offer that was ultimately accepted before the property was listed. Thank you, Martha, for making our dream a reality!

We worked with Marianne and Lindsay about a year ago when we moved to California and started our search for a single-family home. Buying a home in the Bay Area can be daunting, but they supported us from start to finish. As a mother-daughter team, they offered a great combination of market knowledge, consistent communication, and realistic feedback on our expectations. We actually interviewed with three different agents before deciding to work with them based on their experience. Being new to the area, it was also super helpful that they introduced us to a great general contractor whom we have been working closely with for the past several months.

We recommend Marianne for anyone looking for a home in the Bay Area. As first time home buyers she helped us and guided us through the process. She is deeply familiar with the neighborhoods, a strong sense of the market and very attuned to what you need. She helps our family find the perfect house in the location that we had not considered, and helped us close very quickly.
