If you are looking for a real estate agent to sell your home or buy a home or do both, I highly recommend Lorri Rosenberg Arazi. We wanted a home in Alameda that was in our budget—not an easy goal--and she helped us find a place we love. We wanted to sell our old home at a price that initially seemed more wishful than achievable, but Lorri made it happen. She is hard working, completely professional, and deeply knowledgeable. She’s long worked in the East Bay and is well acquainted with the real estate market of every village, town, and city. She possesses a long list of all resources you could possibly need to sell or buy a home—from mortgage brokers to movers to staging designers to someone who will haul your junk away. Equally important, the people she recommended did excellent work at a fair price. In sum, if you want to buy or sell a home in the East Bay, I don’t think you can do better than call Lorri Rosenberg Arazi.

Lorri is, simply put, the best. I'd lived in my Oakland Hills home for 30+ years. Built in 1968 or so, we'd done improvements along the way, especially to the exterior, but the interior needed a lot of love. When Lorri first came over, she didn't immediately start talking about what needed to be changed. Quite the contrary, she talked about all the things she loved about the house and its potential for an affordable Midcentury Modern makeover. I followed her lead all along the way and, when I got to go to the "big reveal," it wasn't my house anymore. It was a home ready for any person or family to step into and love for at least as long as I loved the place. She nailed the price point and marketed the property so many folks came through. Ultimately, it sold for over-asking to a young family who will fit in with the neighbors on our friendly cul-de-sac. As if that weren't enough, she scouted out realtors in Tucson, where I moved. One of them found a desert home for me that is beyond my wildest hopes. Her incomparable knowledge of the local market, her design vision, her collaborative style, it's all there. As I said at the start, she's simply the best.

After 23 years I decided to sell my 1927 bungalow in the Oakland Hills. I contacted my previous Realtor who had just retired. She recommended a few that she held in high esteem and I met with them. Without a doubt I selected Lorri and was not disappointed. I worked with Lorri and her Team from November until June when we went to Market. Here’s what I appreciated; - Extremely Professional - Always punctual - Super Knowledgeable about the local real estate environment. - Lorri listened to me and asked what I needed from her. - Many great suggestions were made in preparation for the sale, some I agreed with, some I did not. My opinions were respected (I renovated the entire house and gardens through the years). - Excellent contacts for Staging & Landscape in addition to other vendors. We worked as a team and Lorri supported me in using my crew, in fact she worked with them on the project. - Nothing was too small or too big to ask for when help was needed, even down to a simple hug. - Amazing help with disclosures, inspections, interaction with Buyers Realtors, final Negotiations, working with Buyers Mortgage Brokers. - Amazing attention to detail, strong work ethic, super well connected. -Lorri found the perfect Buyer for the house that I loved so much and put so much into over the years. -She understood me, my needs and my house. - Important to me was that there was no salesy Bull Shit, straight up all the time. This excellent Professional helped me through a very difficult and emotionally challenging change in my life. Please do call me if you’d like. Diane Smith (510) 680-0234 - -

Lorri is definitely the realtor you want in your corner. She is knowledgeable, very professional and knows the market. Do not hesitate to engage her and her team to guide you through the daunting process. I cannot recommend her and her team enough.

Lorri is simply the best - the most conscientious, hard-working and trustworthy business person possibly that I've ever met in my 70 years. She does it all, stays on top of everything and kept us updated and informed, and always returned our emails, texts, and phone calls promptly.

I don't have adequate words to describe my experience working with Lorrie and her team (a shoot out to Amy Ortega of her team too!). Selling our home was a great experience. Lorrie was responsive, professional, considerate, effective and carried a wealth of knowledge about selling in Oakland and the East Bay. Her team worked together seamlessly and my husband and I have just made life long friends. We sold for a great price and I would recommend Lorrie to anyone that needs a professional realtor. She will be everything you need in a realtor.

We loved working with Lorri on buying our new home in Piedmont. She was patient over the years that we were looking and proactive about getting us the house. It was a tricky situation which she navigated extremely professionally. She was also extremely supportive and kind during this very stressful life event. You won't go wrong with Lorri!

I first met Lorri in 2007 when she help sell my first home and buying a new one. She brought in a fantastic stager that made me want to keep the house, almost. This year she came to my aid and performed the same services again with great success. I highly recommend Lorri to anyone selling or buying. Thank you Lorri!

I decided to work with Lorri because of a recommendation from my son-in-law. He's a contractor and knows her through his profession. She was very friendly and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. She was able to provide feedback on the locations just based on the listings that I had and suggested others that I hadn't considered. When we finally found the perfect (perfect!) home for me, she gave me stellar advice. She recommended and helped me execute a plan that only a seasoned professional could have dreamt up. It worked! I'm happy and feel so at home and I owe it to Lorri's expertise. Thank you, Lorri!

We found a great place and needed help in a hurry to close the deal. Lorri jumped right in and walked us through the unfamiliar California requirements.

Lorri's experience and knowledge of the real estate market were crucial to selling our house in two weeks when the market started showing signs of slowing down. We enjoyed working with Lorri and recommend her to anybody looking to sell or buy a house in the East Bay.

Being total novices to Bay Area real estate and California homebuying in generally, we needed an agent who could walk us through every nuance of the process. Lorri answered all of our questions clearly and quickly. She also has extensive connections with other local agents that really helped streamline our whole process. It was truly a pleasure working with Lorri, and I'd turn to her in a heartbeat for any future homebuying needs.
