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.
Ana and team were very transparent through out the process. They were open to consulting with other Realtors to find a good market value for our house. We felt they always had our best interest.
Ana and Pascal are honest, caring, knowledgable realtors and really good people. I always felt like they had my best interests at heart and would help me make the right choices. There were some complications with the sellers during escrow and after closing and Ana helped me with generosity and good spirit. Pascal helped me with understanding structural issues in the home, and knows as much as any contractor about house-related issues. I really whole heartedly and highly recommend them.
The extraordinary expertise of Ana and Pascal, and the rest of Team Forest, were on full display throughout. Their direction on timing, staging, pricing, marketing, and on and on, were spot on. This market is tricky with high interest rates and few buyers, but their advice enabled me to easily navigate the process with little stress or drama. They listened carefully to my objectives, developed a clear strategy to achieve those objectives, and ultimately delivered. This is the 3rd time Team Forest has helped me buy or sell a home. I couldn’t be more appreciative.
This comes as the highest recommendation for Ana and Pascal Forest at Red Oak Realty. From our first meeting to sell the house, we were out to make a team with them that combined our values and ideas with their expertise and experience. We got all our questions answered. It was a success. I recommend their skill and service.
Team Forest review 11/10. Team Forest (Ana, Pascal, and Adam) were the perfect agent team for us. They treated us like family, always put our interests first, and are just genuinely great people who are always fun to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we went into the process pretty clueless and always felt like we were in the best of hands between Ana’s expertise as an incredibly responsive, hard-working as project manager and contracting agent, and Pascal’s exceptionally keen eye for property inspection and risk assessment. They never rushed us in the process and never let us settle for anything but a great home - just good, honest people. You would be crazy to work with any other agent team in the East Bay!
It took years of looking, tons of patience, and some tears and angst… But we finally did it! We looked for so long, got clobbered a bunch of times, and even once we found this dream house we had to make three offers as we kept losing, and then it kept coming back on the market. Finally, the third time was the charm, offer accepted, and so excited about our new place -this one was meant to be! Ana & Pascal never gave up, and even the agent on the other side, said the transaction was smooth and easy.
