This was my second time working with Mykah, and as with the first time, it was so easy. I was able to move out of state and trust Mykah taking care of selling my property.

Mykah helped us navigate a 1031 exchange over the course of a year. She was our buyer agent but provided good insight and advice for selling our other house too. This was a complex set of transactions for us as first time seller/buyers, and having Mykah on our team really made a huge difference in making all of the decisions we needed to make in how/when we sold the old house and then how to start looking when we were ready. This was in the crazy 2022 market when rates went from super low to the steady rate hikes over the summer and fall, so there was a ton of uncertainty and more than a little anxiety over what was going to happen when we closed escrow on the old house and the clock started ticking on the exchange timing. Timing is everything, as the phrase goes, and this was doubly true in our case. We found a new house while we were still in escrow on the old one, and we put in a bid (with a contingency on the sale of the old house). Over the course of about a week, with counteroffers and another competing buyer, we won the bid and are now happily moved into a new, wonderful home that surpassed our expectations for what we thought we would be able to get. There were a gazillion details involved in the transaction and Mykah was there every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions and provide advice. And while she of course didn't make any of the decisions that we had to make, her bedside manner was very helpful as we stressed and fretted our way through. After we closed escrow, Mykah was still available to answer questions and help with the transition. These little details don't make or break the sale but they do make a difference in lessening the overall burden and frustrations that are bound to come up in the process. Having the experience of working with two agents at the same time (our seller agent and Mykah) we can say with confidence that Mykah wins our 'best real estate agent' award hands down. Nothing but good things to say!

Mykah was super helpful and she made things happen quickly in order to list our house in a rapidly changing market. Moreover, Mykah has great knowledge of the market, as she has lived and worked in the area for many years. We appreciated that she always made herself available and is very personable. Selling our house was stressful but we really enjoyed having Mykah as our agent and felt like we were in good hands.

Working with Mykah was an absolute pleasure. First selling and then buying in crazy market conditions. The road to finding our dream house was rocky, but Mykah provided great advice, insights and strategy as well as her unwavering support and care through the tough stuff. In the end we landed an simply amazing home. And so much of that was due to her guidance, wisdom and friendship! She has our deepest gratitude and resounding endorsement.

Mykah worked with us for over two years as buyers in a very tough market. During that time, we came to rely on her dedication, flexibility, prompt communication, and advice. As an East Bay local, with years of experience in real estate, she is truly an expert on the area. She has valuable current and historical knowledge of the neighborhoods, and her connections with sellers’ agents benefited us on multiple occasions. Beyond professionalism, she’s also a really down-to-earth person who we’ve come to see as a friend. If you’re looking to buy in the East Bay, I’d recommend Mykah wholeheartedly.

I started working with Mykah pre-Covid, when I thought I was in a position to purchase. She worked hard for me, showing me houses, and helping me understand the process. Fortunes changed and I had to wait. Earlier this year I started looking again. I felt guilty asking Mykah since she spent several hours with me for nothing- but she was delighted to start back with me again. This time I found my dream house. Mykah is great at hand holding, can walk into a house and know immediately the elements that could be problematic, or wouldn’t fit my needs. She was great at advising me vs. influencing me. she’s very personable, and knowledgeable, and flexible. House hunting is very stressful, and overwhelming, but Mykah was so patient, and I really looked forward to visiting houses with her. She did a lot for me on the fly, especially when right after my offer was accepted, I had a family emergency and had all these paperwork deadlines, had to get quotes to set up sidewalk and sewer inspections, etc. She helped me get everything in place and walk me through the process,down to the 11th hour. As I sit here in the living room of my delightful new home, I feel tremendous gratitude to Mykah; I wouldn’t be here without her.

If you want a realtor who is all of the above and also super helpful with questions about the neighborhood, things to consider, sewer lateral compliance, etc., this is your gal! Mykah is down to earth, has strong professional connections within the industry and also is very client centric. We loved working with her!

Mykah stepped in to put my Berkeley hills home on the market in a hurry. She met me the next morning with a painter/handyman team, a stager, and a landscaper. She took all the time needed to determine what we both thought was needed and had a workable schedule by that afternoon. Mykah respected my style (including me in every detail), responded to my preferences, took my concerns seriously, and supported me through a difficult process. She made great decisions, coordinated and supervised the work being done, and took responsibility for the small glitches that occurred. I have bought and sold eight homes in Berkeley with several agents over many years, and I will turn to Mykah for the next one. I have very high standards and demand a lot my agent -- in fact, I fired the one prior to Mykah for mismanagement -- so my recommendation says a lot.

Mykah is a true professional. She's got the knowledge of the market, process and people to give her clients a real advantage. A great communicator, detail-orientated and both strategic and hands-on — depending on the need. She was on top of all the details and was always there to problem solve at every turn. It was great peace-of-mind having this savvy pro in our corner through the sale of our home!

Extremely knowledgeable and a joy to work with!

We had the pleasure of working with Mykah Larkins in 2019, when she made our dreams come true by getting us into exactly the right house. Mykah walked us through the whole experience and gave us excellent references for lenders as well as recommendations for what kind of house would be a good fit for us. Once you start working with Mykah, she is at your service and provides quick and thorough responses. She really listens to your needs and works in a compassionate, professional manner. Since our home purchase, I have been able to come to Mykah for referrals for gardeners, painters, and more. I fully trust Mykah and believe she works in an ethical way and will get you into the right home. We couldn't have been happier with the service she provided and continues to provide for us.

It was great to work with someone with so much experience. Mykah knew the right people to get my house ready to sell and has great relations with other agents. The process was seamless and I didn’t have to do a thing.
