This was the 2nd home from my husband’s brother’s estate that Audrey has helped us with recently. This sale was different from the other in that it was a private sale between the estate and a friend of the deceased. Audrey was gentle and professionally persuasive in guiding both parties to close the deal, clearing any last minute hurdles like a pro. She anticipates issues before they arise and helps to assure that by close, all parties are satisfied. Thank you again, Audrey, we are in your debt and are so very grateful our paths crossed so many months ago.

If you are fortunate enough to choose Audrey Young as your agent, you are in capable, caring hands. We’d give her 10 stars if we could. Audrey helped my husband (and I) following the death of his brother. My husband was the Administrator of his brother’s estate, which included a unique home in Montclair. She recommended workers to finish the daunting task of cleaning out the house, suggested an incredible handyman and other professionals and guided and gently encouraged us to make some repairs, paint, carpet and stage the house. Oh my, what a difference this made!! The house had considerable charm to begin with, but her suggestions without a doubt made for a quick and satisfying sale for both seller and buyer. Audrey’s knowledge of the market was key. Also, her team made the negotiations and lead up to closing reassuring and successful. We’d be remiss to not mention that Audrey has a certain effective and caring way of communicating. She listens well, asks the right questions and truly has your welfare in mind. Did we also say she has a heart of gold?!? Although my husband worked more with Audrey, writing reviews is not his thing, so after discussing all of the above with him and knowing Audrey well enough too, I jumped at the chance to sing her praises. She is truly one of a kind… A simple thank you isn’t enough, Audrey! We will recommend you and Grubb to anyone looking to buy or sell in her area….for sure! -Tom and Loranne

I can’t say enough good things about Audrey. She was extremely helpful even when we thought we were going to rent the house and when we decided to sell you couldn’t tell the difference. She puts the client first and this will lead to much repeat business and many referrals. She is organized and takes on every responsibility to get things done. Every vendor she brought in was terrific. There were weekly “To Do” lists and gentle reminders. And she’s fun and clever. Great experience.

We recently sold our home in Piedmont Pines with Audrey's help, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From day one, she had a clear, organized plan to get us on the market and managed the timeline seamlessly so nothing fell through the cracks. Audrey is very organized, clear in communicating, and has a calm demeanor that lets you know that everything is under control. What really stood out was Audrey's recommendations for the right updates prior to going on the market. She made targeted recommendations for updates and upgrades that would make financial sense without going overboard, and I believe her recommendations were a great return on investment. She works with stagers and tradespeople who were very reliable and all did an amazing job. The house looked incredible by the time it went on the market. Also, the marketing she put together generated serious interest fast — we had 6 offers within 6 days of listing, and sold well above asking price. Audrey brought a calm, steady energy to the whole process that made something stressful feel very manageable. She clearly knows her market, knows how to position a home, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for her clients. If you're thinking about selling, don't hesitate — call Audrey.

Audrey is the perfect blend of knowledgeable professional and empathetic listener. We were constantly peppering her with questions and "ideas" and she always responded quickly and thoughtfully even if we were likely being a little silly. She had very good knowledge about the oakland market with a lot of her predictions on sale prices being spot on. She also has access to so many connections which is critical for bay area real estate. We had a bad experience with a realtor buying out condo prior and were so nervous about having someone take advantage of us again. Audrey was always honest and caring. We are absolutely smitten with our new home.
