Janet Kaplan

I was so lucky to find Janet Kaplan and Joanne King of Red Oak to help me sell my duplex. They were lifesavers and fun to work with. I had an incredibly hostile and obstructionist tenant and they helped me deal with him. They were great a arranging all the appointments, staging, and random hassles that come with the selling process. They were there to oversee everything and always available when I had questions. They made what could have been a disaster into a pleasant and successful sale. I am so grateful to them both (and to Michael their third partner) for making everything go as smoothly as possible. Plus they were fun to hang with during the process. I recommend them wholeheartedly to all my friends and to you.

Working with Janet and the team at Red Oak was a fantastic experience. My husband and I were moving to the Bay Area and looking to buy our first home and were recommended to use Janet from a family connection. From our first interaction to the last, the team was prompt, professional, and super enjoyable to work with. We were looking for homes from out of state and they even skyped us through a few homes we were interested in. The home buying process can be extremely overwhelming and they made the process manageable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Janet, Joanne, & Michael to anyone wanting to buy a house in the Bay Area.

Janet helped me and my fiancé find houses in the Berkeley, Albany, Kensington and El Cerrito markets that we liked and could make competitive offers for. She showed us about seven houses and answered numerous questions we had about them and other houses. She helped us make offers on five houses and ultimately purchase a lovely house in Kensington. Janet helped us maintain hope and not give up in a very competitive market. Janet is a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend her to buyers and sellers in the Bay Area.
