ANA FOREST

We heard about Team Forest from a word-of-mouth recommendation from our good friends. From the moment we met them we were impressed with how knowledgeable, supportive, and organized they were. Ana and team were also "no pressure" from the beginning, which we really appreciated as we were slow to get started. But when things ramped up and we started to be more demanding of their time and attention, they were incredibly responsive, helpful, and never made us feel guilty for yanking them all over Alameda to look at places we were excited about. When we got serious about a place, they provided the right information we needed to make a go/no-go decision. Ana held our hands every step of the way and showed us homes when we couldn't make open house times, Pascal would examine disclosures for red flags, crawl under houses to check the foundation, and check the quality of "home prep" repairs to ensure we weren't walking into a money pit. Adam jumped in as needed to show us houses when our schedules with Ana didn't align. Throughout the whole process, they remained focused on helping us find a home that met our needs and within our budget that we could fall in love with. When offer time came, Ana knew all the right things to say to the seller's agent to tip the scales in our favor and get our offer accepted, even in a very competitive market. All in all, working with Ana, Pascal and Adam was a real pleasure. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Team Forest to anyone looking to find their next home!

Ana and Team Forest have been the best part of what could be a really demoralizing real estate market. I know conventional wisdom says to interview several agents…we wandered into Ana’s office wanting to write a same day offer on a house we’d just seen. From the minute we stumbled into the office saying we had a “real estate emergency”, Ana and her team took such amazing care of us. We spent well over an hour together that impromptu day and we have never considered another agent for buying or selling. Ana and her team recently guided us through the purchase process for our forever home and helped us sell our home off market, going from obtaining disclosures to presenting an offer in less than a week, all while we were on vacation. Going above and beyond is just standard procedure for them from Pascal reviewing everything that might be problematic at a house, ensuring that you think with your head and not just your heart, to helping us get rid of the things we no longer need. The team has seemingly endless resources for everything you might need, saving time and money. I used to think being a real estate agent would be an easy and lucrative gig that anyone could do….whoo boy was I wrong about that! This team earned every penny and proved that an exceptional agent works 24/7. Ana reviewed the final offer with us after 10 on a Friday night and she did it in amazing good humor. Couldn’t have done it without Team Forest!

Ana and the team were fantastic for the whole experience, from our first consult, all the way to closing the final deal. I felt like Ana and Pascal were partners in every aspect of the house sale and I have come away feeling very happy! High recommended.

We give our highest recommendation to Ana and Pascal Forest. They are exceptional realtors and a genuine pleasure to work with. We met Ana and Pascal in August 2025 when we were considering selling our Albany home. After speaking with several agents, we felt an immediate connection with them and knew they were the right team. Selling a home we deeply loved was not an easy decision, but Ana and Pascal approached the process with care, empathy, and professionalism, which made all the difference. Ana is incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and responsive. She communicated clearly at every step and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance. Pascal managed the home refresh seamlessly, coordinating contractors, outlining plans, and ensuring transparency with detailed updates and costs throughout. From developing a thoughtful preparation plan and timeline to keeping us informed during every phase, they made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. On offer day, they presented each offer clearly and thoughtfully, helping us make a confident and well-informed decision. We are especially grateful that our home is now in the hands of buyers who will appreciate it as much as we did. Ana and Pascal are knowledgeable, professional, and deeply committed to their clients. We are truly thankful for their partnership and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Team Forrest: They were immediately responsive to my many questions and concerns. They gently guided me through the process of selling my house. The suggestions they offered were excellent and right on point. Pascal, especially, is a genius at what he does, has an excellent eye and is very artistic, all of which translates into a strong presentation for potential buyers. His assistance to me in selling my house was invaluable. He made a good, beautiful house even better and enticing. Ana was very knowledgeable about the legal requirements and regulations, in addition to having a strong pulse on the market. With her help, the necessary forms and processes were easy to navigate. She patiently explained any confusing and complicated things. The end result of my experience with Team Forrest exceeded my expectations. On top of it all, and perhaps most importantly, they were a pleasure to work with.

Ana and team Forrest helped us from beginning to end with our house sale. She was able to negotiate discounts with the various parties involved in preparing our home for sale and helped identify those things that gave us the best return on our money, while still delivering quality upgrades to our buyer. The marketing was spot on and delivered great results for us.
