Jake helped the reviewer buy this property

Excellent local realtor!

We were so happy with the work that Jake Adams did for us to find us the home of our dreams in Rockridge! Having lived in both the East Bay and the City- his knowledge is vast and he understands the market on a street-by-street basis. He is well-versed on commute times, traffic patterns, schools and local amenities and has the insider knowledge of great restaurants and hidden gems that only someone who has actually lived here would possess. If you are moving here for the first time, this is the agent you want by your side in this process. He is as thoughtful and conscientious as he is knowledgable. When we were looking for the right spot in the East Bay, we really took our time to narrow down which areas would suit our family best. He was able to listen to both my husband's and my requests of locale and bring us to many options through the process, he remained extremely patient through the process of viewing many homes. Furthermore, he kept us realistic and grounded through a process that is easy to get carried away with emotionally. He was the thoughtful mediator and guide- never telling us what he thought we wanted to hear, overselling or making false promises. On the Memorial Day Long weekend, Jake was working for us when we least expected it. He found out our dream home (that we had written off entirely as a possibility) had no offers after an initial open house. He urged us to act fast. He guided us and proved a shrewd negotiator- even the sellers agent congratulated him on the tactic's success. We couldn't have done it without his diligence and skill. After we closed, Jake was able to provide us with many local contractors, all who came promptly and did terrific work. He has a guy for everything including roofers, landscaping, and general contractors. Additionally, he was a great liaison of closing procedures between the sellers and us. In a process that requires hard decision making: choosing Jake to be our agent was not one of them.
