MYKAH LARKINS

I connected with Mykah through mutual acquaintances about a year before I was ready to buy. She understood my timeline and dependencies (including selling my existing home) and never once applied pressure. During that time, she took me through homes in Berkeley, Albany, and El Cerrito, genuinely trying to understand what I wanted while familiarizing me with the neighborhoods. When the time came to buy seriously, she helped me stay selective. She remembered what I'd said I was looking for, steered me toward the right homes, and just as importantly guided me away from ones that looked great on the surface but she knew I'd regret over time. Honest and genuine guidance. She also made a point of building a relationship with the selling realtor on every offer, which was extremely valuable on every offer. In my final purchase, we collaborated on the initial offer and then on our final offer. It was a lot of back and forth on my options and in the end it was the offer that won. I ended up with a house beyond my expectations in a perfect neighborhood. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Mykah and Tracy were the key for a successful transaction. We interviewed multiple brokers and decided to work with them which is one of the best life decisions we've made. They helped us move out old belongings and extract value from those belongings ranging from art auctions, misc furniture sales, to junk hauling. They then helped plan renovations and interior design work down to paint colors and fixture selection. They have good design taste. Once the project was underway the project managed nearly every aspect of this. Once the house was renovated and staged it looked amazing- beyond our expectations. They then segued into the pricing, listing, marketing, and showing tactics. They had a great sense of the Bay Area market at large as well as the specific neighborhood nuances that would be key to a successful process. They did the big things like managing a renovation and the small things like daily watering of the plants so they'd be healthy during the sale. In the end we got an offer above asking price with an efficient hassle free closing. My family was balancing a lot of life logistics at the time- Mykah and Tracy acted with kindness, professionlism, and efficiency at every step. I wish I had a fleet of houses to sell so I can work with them again- but alas- this was a one-off transaction- but it went perfectly.

Mykah Larkins was wonderful to work with, and of course she did all the work. I have absolutely no expertise in real estate and felt completely confident in leaving it all to her. There were a couple of hurdles to jump through and she's very up-to-date on methods for dealing with the unexpected and things turned out even better than I had hoped. She kept me up to date on where things were at every stage of the process. I was able to relax and just let her take it through all the steps. That left me very pleased with the results and grateful to her. I recommend her very highly.

Couldn't be happier with Mykah's hard work and excellent results on an unusual tough project. She handled all of the obstacles with warmth and empathy, and skillful aplomb. Nothing fazed her as she was willing and able to go above and beyond to make sure our efforts met with success. Thanks for everything, Mykah!

Mykah was absolutely amazing to work with . Selling my mom’s home of over 40 years was a very emotional time for me. Mykah worked with me, had resources to get things accomplished . She went above and beyond all my expectations . Once she came into the picture she took care of everything. My experience could not have been any better .

I actually enjoyed this stressful time trying to sell the house because Mykah made it that way. She listened to my concerns and acted on them. She was available to discuss things as they came up. I got a good price on the sale and it all went smoothly.
