When we started this process, we weren't just selling a house — we were letting go of a home my mom had owned for over 50 years. It needed real work to become what it could be, and honestly, we didn't know where to begin. Regina did. From our very first conversation, she walked us through what actually mattered: which updates would move the needle and which ones weren't worth our time or money. That kind of judgment only comes from real experience, and we trusted it completely. She brought in her own team of vendors, and their work was beautiful — the kind of craftsmanship that turned a dated, well-loved house into a stunning, contemporary home we were genuinely proud to show. Then came the pricing strategy, and this is where Regina truly separated herself. Her approach wasn't guesswork — it was strategic, confident, and it worked. We ended up with over 70 disclosure packages out and nine offers on the table. The results exceeded anything we expected going in. But what I'll remember most is that Regina didn't just manage a transaction — she guided us. From that first "maybe we should sell" conversation all the way through closing, she held our hands through every decision, every document, every question we didn't even know to ask. She made sure it was done right, not just done fast. If you want an agent who treats your home like it matters — because to her, it clearly does — Regina Jacobs is who you call. We couldn't recommend her more highly.
This was our third transaction with Tami, having previously sold a house and bought the property we just sold here. Her knowledge of the local housing market and guidance around how to navigate it have been invaluable for us as both buyers and sellers. She understands the current trends, but also has a depth of historical knowledge that she draws on to strategize the timing and investment considerations that matter most. She truly looks out for her clients' best interests and will tell you hard truths to put you in the best position possible. We trust her completely and have been totally rewarded for that trust.
We met Bill on a trail while we were walking our dog. We were new to town and didn’t know any realtors, but we liked him and his dog, so we thought, why not? We asked him to help us find our first home. They genuinely care about you, your experience, and your satisfaction more than anything else. They never rush the process just to get a deal done because finding us the right home was more important than simply getting it done quickly. They made the entire process smoother and much less stressful with clear, timely, and essential communication. They also helped us develop a strategy so we could find the right home, at the right price, at the right time. And as a bonus, you can always pet Bill’s dog, Lyberti, if you’re feeling stressed. She’s the best. Bill and Krystina are a realtor duo who complement each other incredibly well, each bringing different strengths and years of experience. Not only as realtors, but also as communicators. It’s hard to imagine a better team to have on your side. We’re definitely going back to Bill and Krystina for any future real estate needs in the area. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and our dog gives them all the high paws! 🐾
Tami is exceptional. Not only is she a responsive, kind and engaged communicator who was always happy to pick up the phone to answer a question anytime we would call, she also knows everybody! She’s been doing this for 20 years, and every realtor we encountered had a good story to share about her. She connected us to the best inspectors, contractors, painters, stager, etc. to get our house sold extremely quickly (a week & a half!) for a price that far exceeded my expectation. Besides being a rockstar agent with incredible connections, savvy, and experience, Tami is just an amazing person. Grounded, kind, and with a great sense of humor, I feel happy to know her.
We highly recommend Meredith. She made the selling process feel smooth and completely manageable. Her communication was great and transparent and always responded quickly to any questions we had. Meredith also organized everything that needed to be done in order to put our home on the market. We couldn’t of asked for a better experience! Meredith was also our realtor for buying our current home.
Meredith did an awesome job working with her contacts to ensure the house looked good and was staged appropiatley. In addition to handling the sale process she helped us manage a tricky HOA issue which was hanging over us during the sale. Thanks for all your support.
She is responsive, engaged and focused on selling your home. She is detail oriented and self motivated! She made an Excellent Partner in the sale of Our Home that did not sell for 90 Days under another brokerage firm and stale agent. Lisa came in, we made some needed and adjustments, and put the home right back onto the market just short of 30 days later, then within less than two weeks we had seven offers and sold our home 327Kk over asking! Her name is Lisa Chan...but my wife and I just call her...LISA CAN!!!
Anja and her team guided us through the sale of our home of 33 years in Berkeley CA and it was a great experience. Every angle was covered. From the estate sale to the remodeling of the kitchen to refinishing of the hardwood floors and updating the electrical,Team Plowright had a trusted professional to meet our needs! Communication is key to a successful sale and we felt listened to all along the way. You can’t go wrong with Anja and Team Plowright!
Adam made the sale of my home an easy process. He was extremely communicative, proactive, detail oriented, and knowledgeable and was an excellent guide throughout this complex process. I didn't need to worry about a thing! As an added bonus, there was the support of Ana and Pascal. Thank you Adam!
Patrick demonstrated in depth understanding of the market and the houses in the Oakland area. He is fast at responding messages/emails. He helped me scheduled inspections and followed up with quotes on fixes the house needs post closing. He went into the crawspace with me to understand any issues within the house and explained things to me clearly. It was a pleasure working with Patrick!
