Tomaj Trenda

We recently sold our apartment in Emeryville. Due to the market conditions for the loft style apartments and multiple units for sale in the same complex that was not easy nor straightforward process. Tomaj was a great help with his creativity and tenacity to get the deal done. We highly appreciate his effort and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to others! 👏🙏👍

I contacted 3 realtors through Realtor dot com when I was ready to sell a home in the Oakland Hills in October of 2025. After interviewing 3 realtors who all had impressive credentials selling luxury properties, my wife and I selected Tomaj for his thoroughness in preparing for our meeting. The quality of his presentation and research materials impressed us, along with his knowledge of the market trends and comparative data. After selecting him to list our property, he explained that going into the holiday season, buyer activity might be slow. Our first open house was in mid-November, just a week and a half before Thanksgiving,, and there were 13 visitors in just a 4 hour window. This was a testament to Tomaj’s marketing activities and his support team. We received an offer that was above our listing price within a couple of days of the first open house. After just 47 days of listing the property, we closed escrow and the house officially sold. Tomaj shepherded the process and kept us informed every step of the way until close of escrow. I am grateful to Tomaj for helping us sell the property in a rather short period of time, when many said it would be a long process during November and December. His weekly check in and timely responses to my questions were very helpful in moving the process along. I recommend Tomaj and the Sotheby’s team to anyone looking to sell an upscale or luxury property.

Tomaj was the most prepared realtor I interviewed. He understood my old condo building well, as well as the competitive market rate pricing. Although it was a difficult market, he was eventually able to secure a buyer for me after several weeks of showings.

Tomaj is very personable and very effective agent. We have worked with him on 4 occasions over the years and this last time he did not disappoint. We would not hesitate to recommend Tomaj whether you are selling or buying in the Bay Area. He is very knowledgeable of the market and in our experience delivered consistent results whether we were buying or selling and under different market conditions. He was able to consistently deliver the results we needed and would not hesitate to work with him again.

I love my new home! It took some time to find, but it was worth the wait. Tomaj stuck with the search and went out of his way to help me with getting inspections and estimates on a couple different properties.

From our first meeting until our last, Tomaj was helpful, polite and efficient and helped me through the entire process. I had been getting his marketing materials and following his sales record for years so when it came time to sell my condo, I knew I wanted him for my agent. He made a professional, thorough presentation of market conditions, sale and purchase statistics in my complex and in the East Bay to start out, so I knew exactly where the market was and what to expect. He explained how we were going to approach the sale of my condominium from pricing to tasks in a very tough market and at a tough time of year for sales. Tomaj is very practical and realistic, which I appreciate. He didn’t start with some rosy, unrealistic pricing or lead me to believe it would be an easy sale with the present market conditions. That first meeting reinforced my decision to chose Tomaj as my agent. We both just got working on it as quickly as we could and he approved of what I did and helped me out with suggestions so we could get it ready as soon as possible. Much to my amazement, Tomaj was talking to a buyer within weeks who was relocating to the West Coast and also led her through the process step-by-step. We had a number of inspections and he meet them for me instead of me having to come over to the East Bay so also made it very convenient for me. The sale was completed in record time considering all factors. Tomaj is very calm, low-key and businesslike and keeps you grounded and informed throughout what can be an emotional process. I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good real estate agent.
