He was on the ball with scheduling…he provided immediate updates to any and all changes to the schedule. Excellent communications throughout prep and sale of house! Superb job on follow through with our questions or concerns…very upbeat and positive. Most importantly, he paid attention to our wants and needs and made recommendations for the successful sale of our house! Thank you, Jeff!

10/23/26 During business with my Relator, Mr. Jeff Goodman has been nothing more than the BEST and EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE. From the inception of meeting him to discuss my circumstances and providing his professional services to assist with selling of recently deceased dear Mother’s home that was held in her Living Trust, from signing and placing on the MLS throughout the entire process, Jeff has been the BEST!!! I signed with Jeff in his Alameda office and had to leave the area shortly after signing with him due to living in Virginia. I was able to honestly trust Jeff to carry out the entire process. I completed all signature requirements vice email Docusign which I experienced minimal stress. His dedication and professionalism were matched by his GENUINE COMPASSION and RESPECT for my circumstances (recent loss of my mother and selling her home in which was my childhood home). During the entire 3 months in which the house was on the market and was sold in such timely manner, Jeff completely as promised kept me abreast of all of the processes every step of the way!! There was never a time that I felt out of the loop or unclear about anything. He definitely advocated/represented me and held my hand through the selling process!! He is definitely so very professional, compassionate and so easy to communicate with, along with the greatest humor and personality. I’d definitely do business with him as well as refer him to others!! GREAT RELATOR AND PERSON!! Jeff, thank you so much for all of your professional services that you’ve provided to both me and my dear mother. Your professionalism, kindness, sense of humor, compassion and dedication have really made this process easy for me. Truly means a lot. Stay Blessed. Seller: Germaine Dedrick

Really appreciated having Jeff as our realtor. He explained everything, as many times as it took us to understand it. He listened carefully to what we wanted and didn't want. We had fun on our condo search with Jeff, and he made the actual purchasing process as painless as as possible, and even continued to be responsive after closing. Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff, Heather and their team are incredible to work with! From our first meeting I knew we were on the same page.! All the things that go into selling a home~cleaning, inspections, staging, and showing of the property were completed in a timely and professional manner. Having support from our agent made selling our childhood home less of a burden and more of a legacy. I would highly recommend Jeff Goodman with Compass Reality!

Jeff was very competent and thorough. He communicated with me throughout the entire process. Although progress was slow, due entirely to me and the emotion of selling my childhood home after my mother’s passing, he was patient and kind. He was helpful in recommending resources for removal of household items, cleaning, etc. He also did not try to upsell services. Originally, we thought staging would be beneficial, but when it came time to put the home on the market, staging was not needed and he recommended against it. He was correct. We appreciated his professionalism and integrity. The entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Jeff and Compass and would definitely use his services again. You will be happy dealing with him!

We had an excellent experience working with Jeff during the purchase of our home in Alameda. From start to finish, he communicated clearly and consistently, always keeping us informed and making sure our best interests were represented throughout the process. Jeff's deep knowledge of Alameda was especially valuable. As a native of the town, he brought local insight that gave us confidence in both the property and the neighborhood. He was also instrumental in helping manage a more complex transaction involving our 1031 exchange, coordinating seamlessly with the appraiser, escrow team, inspectors, and other moving parts to help keep everything on track. Even beyond closing, his support has continued. He has connected us with trusted local contractors and service providers for sewer inspection and replacement, handyman work, and other unexpected items that came up during escrow and after taking ownership. Having access to fair pricing and reliable local referrals has been incredibly helpful. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Alameda. His professionalism, local expertise, strong communication, and continued support made a potentially stressful process much smoother.

Selling my late father's home, when I've never purchased or sold property before, had me very stressed out. I was unsure what to do, scared about messing things up, and emotional about letting go of my childhood home. Then... along came Jeff. He came highly recommended and I can see why. From our very first phone call I felt my stress levels subside. The entire process was smooth, easy to understand, and he never once made me feel like a question I had was silly. Super warm, friendly, and a great communicator, Jeff's just an all-around nice guy to do business with. His team and collaborators were also efficient, competent, and friendly. I would happily work with Jeff again! Oh, and did I mention he got us NINE offers?! On an old fixer upper? My family was thrilled with the results, and thrilled with the stress-free process.

Jeff Goodman guided my brother and I through the sale of our family home with professionalism and sensitivity. His extensive experience helped to keep us on track, navigating ups and downs, with positivity and good humor. Jeff communicated every step along the way and responded to our calls and questions immediately. He was always open to our thoughts, trusting our long history with the house to aid in the process. It felt like we were a team, working with Jeff, and we would recommend him without hesitation.

Very satisfied with Jeff's level of experience. No matter what weird situation came up, he was able to provide calm guidance. He kept me up to date with everything happening and made sure every decision was mine without being overwhelming. I was quite happy with the overall experience as well as the end result.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeff to sell our family home of 50 years, and the experience could not have been better. From start to finish, Jeff handled every detail with the highest level of professionalism. He took the extra time to carefully explain each step of the process and walked us through all of the regulatory documents so that we always felt informed and comfortable. His patience, knowledge, and clear communication made what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless. Selling a home filled with so many memories was a big step for us, and Jeff’s thoughtful guidance truly made it a pleasant experience. We are grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I really can't say enough good things about Jeff Goodman and his team. Jeff is the consummate real estate professional. He is experienced, has a deep understanding of the constantly-changing real estate market, and he inspires confidence with sellers, like me, and clearly with buyers as well. He also has the extremely capable support of his team – I'm especially looking at you, Rebecca – so there is always a friendly, knowledgable someone to help you with any question or issue. Although my home was a modest one, Jeff and team put together all the resources to present it in the very best light -- from staging, to truly excellent photography, to window cleaning. They even included overhead (drone?) shots in the presentation package. Amazing! I owe special thanks to Jeff for sticking with me for about four years, throughout which I hemmed and hawed about selling my home. I think many agents would have stopped answering my telephone calls after a year or two. On top of that, my property was a co-op, which presents a multitude of unique challenges, all of which Jeff handled with skill and tact. He more than earned his very reasonable commission! Finally, I've come to realize that a real estate agent is part sales rep, part strategist, part advisor, and a little bit psychotherapist. At least in some situations, selling your home may bring up a host of different emotions, and it really helps to have an agent who understands that as well. Jeff is an all-around nice guy -- patient, even-tempered, and supportive, and he will keep you laughing through the inevitable ups and downs you'll encounter when selling your home. Whether your home is a high-end mansion or a humble condo, and whether it will be easy or hard to sell, you will be in great hands with Jeff and his team.

Jeff is an expert in Alameda real estate. He kept us updated consistently at every step, gave excellent advice regarding how to prep the house for sale, had it staged beautifully, and provided trustworthy guidance when we needed to make key decisions. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is a consummate professional and a truly nice guy.
