Anna & Pascal were incredible from start to finish. We were sellers. They really were really good at getting our house fixed up and staged, looking beautiful. They got fantastic photos, videos and marketing material. They work great as a team. Bottom line we got more than thought we would for our house, and were delighted with their results! We also became close to them, and are good friends that still get together and have fun!

Ana͏ and Pascal are THE BEST! Ana and Pascal are FABULOUS realtors. We were buying a house with/for my mom, which was a process that required sensitivity, patience, understanding of the various needs involved. Ana and Pascal were incredible guides throughout. They were wise and savvy about the market and extremely knowledgeable about each house we considered (Pascal could practically be an inspector himself). They were exceptionally responsive to our needs, patient, understanding, sensible, no nonsense. They helped us steer clear of houses that weren’t in our best interest, and focus on ones that would work best. When we found our perfect house, they even went above and beyond to help us manage a post-purchase garage refinish. We couldn’t have been happier with their services. They are amazing.

Ana and Pascal assisted my family in selling the home of my sister after her death. In a word, they were AMAZING. They went the extra mile to prepare the house for sale. They were easy to reach and great communicators through the process. Their advice was spot-on and they were caring and empathetic through the sales process. Their knowledge of the market helped ensure we got a great price for the home.

I would very much recommend Ana and Pascal as selling agents. The circumstances of our property sale had some untidy bits, but they worked through the issues and maintained composure doing so - even with a couple of unavoidable setbacks. I do not believe other agent(s) would have put in the effort and follow through on our property. Thank you two for everything.

This is a copy of the note I sent my agent (Ana and Pascal) after we sold our home. And "yes" we received several strong offers and were very happy with the financial result... but what separates Ana and Pascal is really captured in my note to them below: Hi AP, I am rather tardy in sending you this note of appreciation. I am so thankful to you both for the work you did with us. As we all know we had some complicated family dynamics, a house that needed a lot of work, and my sister and I can be rather picky with respect to marketing materials etc. In short, you both were more than just professional... you were patient and kind and it was tremendously helpful as we went through the emotionally and logistically difficult process of selling our family home. I hope you take a moment and realize the positive impact your work has on people. Thank you, Deryk Clinical Professor, UC Berkeley CEO, CredibleMind

Ana and Pascal are a fantastic team that you want on your side while navigating the East Bay real estate market. We came to Ana and Pascal uncertain of where to start in the home buying process - or if our budget was even enough to land us the home we envisioned. They were very encouraging but also didn't shy away from sharing hard truths about the market, which helped us establish reasonable expectations while remaining hopeful that we could find a place to call our own. And once we were ready to begin touring houses, Ana and Pascal were always willing to meet us, even on very short notice (they are also always extremely responsive to any correspondence, from our initial email to our last thank you note, which is a HUGE help and indicative of their incredible work). Ana's sense of comps, coupled with Pascal's eye for home construction, helped us evaluate homes much more thoroughly than we would have been able to do alone. And, once we finally found a home we loved, Ana was extremely helpful in strategizing how to put together a winning offer - so much so that our very first offer was accepted! During escrow, Ana and Pascal continued to guide us through all of the steps necessary to close on time and made sure that all other stakeholders (sellers, title company, mortgage broker) were aligned. Even after we closed, Ana and Pascal have continued to act as awesome resources, checking in to see how things are going and offering vendor recommendations to help us complete some renovations. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Ana and Pascal and hope you have the good fortune of having them guide you through your next real estate transaction!

Exceptional Real Estate Agent Ana is great in understanding her client's needs and putting the client's long term goals first. This is a complex undertaking in today's real estate market. I am thankful that she did a wonderful job in talking me out of putting an offer on the 1st house I was interested (cool property, complete money pit - went unsold in a hot market). We were able to find a house that worked really for me, in my price range, in the area I was looking. Not an easy task in the Bay Area housing market. Ana was always super responsive when I had questions and if she did not know the answer has access to knowledgeable resources that did. Not only is Ana a great real estate agent, we had a lot of laughs working together. Would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

I just sold a second home through Ana & Pascal Forest with Red Oak Realty. The home was a mess and needed extensive work before it could be sold. Ana & Pascal advised me as to which renovations should be done and which ones weren’t worth the money. They selected, managed and oversaw all of the work on my behalf. This was not an easy job. They took all of the worrying off my shoulders and it proved to be a blessing. They communicate effectively and often. They help build a budget and stick to it! The marketing plan was spot on. Ana and Pascal make a terrific team with complementary skills. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Am completely satisfied and give them my unqualified recommendation.

Ana and Pascal are the Best - Period We met Ana and Pascal in the Summer and within the first meeting immediately bonded. Ana and Pascal personify that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. They work very well together and bring separate and distinct super skill sets to the table. Most importantly, they care about their clients as people vs. transactions (something rare in this industry). They were critical to helping us be patient while navigating the very challenging Bay Area housing market. Due to their expertise in identifying the right properties, we made offers on good prospects and ultimately found our dream home. Ana especially helped close the deal when the sellers were on the edge of not accepting our offer. As a fast follow, we had to sell our existing home. Based on recent sales in our area, Ana keyed in on buyers who were interested in a recent sale and were interested in our home. This led to a private sale without having to list our property! Ana’s persistence and bias for action led to a sale that occurred weeks if not months before we expected to list and sell and at a great price. It’s rare when you find the right team that literally changes your life overnight and Ana and Pascal are that team. They rise above the rest in all categories. We highly recommend them to help you identify the right property or help sell your existing one and enjoy the process as well.
