Ana and her team were a joy to work with, they supported me fully and let me be as involved as I wanted to be. My journey with Ana started before I was even sure I was going to sell my home. She was so generous with her time; we met several times and she gave me a rough idea of what it would cost to prep my house and what it might sell for. A year or so later I was ready to sell. Ana explained everything thoroughly, gave me a timeline, options of who to work with for the prep/staging and let me weigh in on decisions because I was very attached to my home! In the end my house sold quickly and for a great price! If I had to do it again, it would definitely be with Ana ~ she is super knowledgeable, kind, supportive and fun to work with!

As first-time homebuyers, we are extremely happy that we worked with Team Forest. Not only are Ana and Pascal incredibly knowledgeable about the East Bay market, but they are also honest, thoughtful, and truly invested in their clients’ success. We always felt comfortable and fully informed in our decisions. We especially valued Pascal’s deep expertise in home construction & repairs. For each house we were interested in, he distilled hundreds of pages of inspection reports into what actually mattered and realistic cost estimates. As a couple working in tech, we used AI to help us digest those reports too, but Pascal’s realistic insights from years of experience always beat the AI responses. He also connected us to trustworthy local vendors later. Ana and Pascal’s approach was never about just “making the sale.” They genuinely wanted to educate us, even encouraging us not to bid if they felt we hadn’t seen enough options. They always highlighted the true condition of each house, set realistic expectations, and guided us through competition and negotiations in the intense market. Even after closing, Ana and Pascal have continued to support us. They celebrated milestones with us, recommended contractors and inspectors, and were always there to answer questions about post-purchase improvements. We are deeply grateful for their patience, integrity, and empathy throughout what could have been an overwhelming process. If you are looking for a real estate team that cares about people, advocates for you, and brings deep expertise, you cannot go wrong with Team Forest. We would absolutely work with them again.

I first bought and sold with Ana and team 2017-2018. I referred them to friends and they bought or sold four other properties with A+ reviews. I just sold my condo in Emeryville above asking. Three offers in a week despite a tough market they are superably professional, and have a do it all mentality. They sold my large pieces and arranged for other stuff to be taken away at no charge. They also arranged to have the whole place painted by their very reasonable guy, Francisco, looked great. I continue to recommend them to everyone, no reservations. Great marketers, tough negotiators. ❤️

I knew the moment I met Ana, Pascal, and Adam that they were the right team to help us sell our house. They are so friendly, honest, and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and excited at the same time! This was the first house we owned so we needed a lot of help to guide us through the process of selling it, and we found the perfect team to help us. Their expertise and thoughtful ideas and guidance resulted in our house looking absolutely amazing and selling for WAY more than we ever could have imagined. They truly went above and beyond in helping us…I needed a lot of help and asked a million questions, and I always got a quick and thoughtful response whenever I needed it. I will be forever grateful to Ana and Team Forest for giving us a life-changing experience and result!

Ana Forest and her whole team were exceptionally competent, thoughtful, and creative in selling my 1925 Storybook house in the Berkeley Hills. Their work made it a viral internet sensation (good thing) and meant it was exposed to the maximum number of buyers in an uncertain market. Their attention and good communication, and especially Ana's unflagging friendliness, gave everyone involved a great experience. Also the house went for nearly 60% over the asking price, with great buyers and the final sales process smooth and speedy.

This was our second time working with Ana Forest and Team Forest — and just like the first time, everything went perfectly. The first time, they helped us buy our home; this time, they guided us through selling it. Both experiences were outstanding. Ana and the team are exceptional. Their communication is clear and consistent, their thoughtfulness is truly appreciated, and their experience and deep knowledge of the market and the area made a real difference throughout the process. We recommend Ana and the Forest team 1000% — they go above and beyond every step of the way!

From our first meeting, we knew we had found the perfect partners for selling our home. Ana, Pascal, and Adam have incredible teamwork, each one bringing their best talents to the clockwork of prepping, staging, showing, and selling. Their advice was spot on every step of the way, and we are so glad we followed their suggestions for when and how to ready and show our house--total pros. They were genuinely enthusiastic about our home, and understood how to make its best features shine. We came to to think of Ana as the team captain as she was always available to discuss any questions, concerns, or just to hold our hand. This was not the first Bay Area home we've sold, and it can be a nailbiting experience. Not with Ana, though. She was calm, confident, and upbeat; professional and personal; warm and wise; and literally always a phone call away every step of the journey. Her work paid off, we were very happy with the process and the outcome. We cannot say enough about how much we loved working with her and Team Forest. Absolutely fantastic!

Team Forest has extensive experience in the local area market. Ana forest manages the paper work with ease while Pascal manages the pre-market prep of the house and yard with hands-on skill. Adam pitches in where needed. It all worked so smoothly my effort was limited to signing. The result was impressive and my house sold for more than expected. aaaa

In the challenging Oakland Hills market, we could not have asked for better agents than Team Forest: Ana, Pascal, and Adam. They assessed the market, the comps, and, most importantly, our father’s house, to determine what needed to be done to make it saleable. They took care of every detail, guiding us in decisions along the way so we did the right work to ensure we got the most bang for our buck, and the best possible offer in a soft market. Team Forest are turnkey agents - they take care of everything, or as much as you want. In our case, this meant recommending upgrades to the house that would have the most impact on its appeal (curb and indoor both), hiring contractors, and rolling up their sleeves to lend a hand. Wow! Adam, Ana and Pascal’s son, is a consummate social media professional. He created fantastic marketing materials for the house, including outdoor and indoor photos, drone footage from the canyon on which it is built (it was our first time seeing the house from that angle), and a great video. We could not have been more impressed and are sure this helped us get the strong interest and foot traffic we had at our open houses, as well as making the house appealing to realtors and potential buyers. All three were a pleasure to work with, highly communicative, kind, and attentive to our concerns. We’ll absolutely work with them again if the need arises and will recommend to all our friends. Thank you Team Forest!

We worked with Team Forest for almost two years until we recently bought our dream home. We knew barely anything about real estate here (both being from Europe) and Ana and Pascal taught us so much during this time. From their market insight and guidance, to their helpful knowledge of areas we hadn’t considered that would suit our needs; they were indispensable. They helped us navigate challenging markets and were a true partner in guiding us through the whole process of buying. I would highly recommend Team Forest to anyone looking to purchase a home in the East Bay.

Ana is an amazing realtor and works with an incredible team, Pascal and Adam. Every step of the way, both buying and selling, she worked hard for us and represented our interests. Because we did not want to move out of our house early they recommended we look for "off-market" buyers and we agreed. They did locate such a buyer and an excellent sale resulted. Later on, when we became the buyers, Pascal's expertise in evaluating older homes, was invaluable in assessing properties of interest. We are delighted with the home we eventually bought with their help. I would and do recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Ana for everything.

My brothers and I had the pleasure of working with Team Forest recently, for the sale of our family home and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. From the very beginning, the Forest team were excellent communicators, keeping us informed every step of the way and making sure we were always in the loop. Their extensive experience in the industry was evident in the way they expertly navigated the market and counseled us towards the sale. They knew exactly how to showcase our home in the best light and attract potential buyers. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, our home sold quickly and for a really great price. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome! We are immensely grateful for everything they did for us and for ensuring smooth transitions involved in the sale of our beloved family home. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent in the Bay Area, look no further. Team Forest truly are the best.
