Liz was incredible from start to finish. We were moving from Texas to California as empty nesters and had no idea which neighborhoods would be the right fit for us. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home. Even after closing, she has continued to be an amazing resource. She’s connected us with trusted contractors and professionals for repairs and upgrades, which has made settling into our new home so much easier. It never felt like she was just trying to sell us a house. She genuinely cared about helping us through every step of the process. We are so grateful for everything Liz has done and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and caring realtor.

My siblings and I selected Liz and her colleague Leonore Deaton as our counsel and guide to preparing and selling our parents' much beloved home of 30 years. Liz and Leonore guided and supported us through every phase of the process, with professionalism and empathy, building our confidence, honoring our questions and perspective, providing excellent resources and ultimately leading to a very successful result for all involved.

Liz helped our family prepare for, and execute the sale of our mother's home about 8 months after her death. She and her business partner were not only knowledgeable about the market and thus able to guide us in the practical pieces of the process, they were also extremely good about helping us understand what we needed to do to prepare (update) the house for sale to get the best price, but not lose the character of the home. This means they were respectful of the emotional aspect of selling the home, but the realities of making the best sale possible. They were firm in the kindest way - and though we may have driven them a little batty with all the questions, they never faltered in making everything happen exactly as it needed to and exactly on schedule.

Liz represented us for both purchasing a new home as well as selling our family home of 16 years, which was a huge life event for us. We could not have been more pleased - she is an exceptional agent. Her ability to know when to lean in or give space at just the right moments throughout the process is exceptional. She was never pushy, but gently nudged us when necessary. We followed her professional guidance and intuition and it paid off very well for us. She is kind, patient, and maintains a sense of humor, which is important! Both transactions went smoothly and she did her best to make the process as painless as possible. 10/10 Highly recommend!!

We are new to the East Bay and were referred to Liz by a friend of a friend. What a lucky break! We had only a few months to figure out the right neighborhood for us and find a house there to meet our needs-- a very tall order-- and it's largely thanks to Liz that we were able to pull it off. We saw more than 40 homes with her at a breakneck pace, and she was an incredible guide to the process and the quirks of the local market. Again and again, Liz went above and beyond for us, always operating with patience, grace, and flexibility. We landed an absolutely beautiful home in an ideal neighborhood for us, and we didn't even have to break our budget. We are so grateful for Liz's professionalism, friendly demeanor, and expert guidance through this challenging process. We loved working with her.

Our experience with Liz was great throughout the entire home buying process. She was personable and professional, helping us understand various neighborhoods, the pros and cons of different homes, and the art of putting in a bid. She has a great team around her as well, so that if we needed more information on getting a loan or talking to contractors, it was all available immediately. We cannot recommend working with Liz enough!
