A Truly Supportive, Expert Team for First-Time Buyers

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.
