We originally met Bill 40+ years ago when we walked into a random real estate office. Our first experience with Bill was so amazing, our family has used him for around 20 transactions since and Krystina has just improved an already incredible service. This transaction was a little more complicated than any other transaction we’ve done in the past and they helped us navigate it and complete the sale without issue. Bill has always gone above and beyond for his clients and communicates well from start to end. I would, without reservation, recommend to anyone needing a realtor to use RealQuest Real Estate Team.

We recently worked with Lisa for the second time, this time to sell our home in Montclair. Once again, she delivered incredible results. From the beginning, Lisa took ownership of the entire process end to end. She coordinated inspections, repairs, cleaning, staging, photography, and all the countless details that come with preparing a home for sale. It made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and organized. One thing that stood out was how proactive and resourceful she was when unexpected issues came up. For example, after a particularly large storm, we discovered a minor roof issue 2 days before offers were due. Lisa jumped into action, getting multiple roofers out the very next day so we could quickly understand the problem and address it before offers were due. Her fast response helped reassure potential buyers and likely contributed to at least one additional offer. Lisa also did a remarkable job marketing our home. Through her network and outreach, our listing gained major attention online, including going viral on TikTok. As a result, our open houses were packed with 60+ groups each day. Despite a challenging market for sellers in Oakland right now, we received 8 offers and ultimately sold significantly above asking (and even above our own hopeful expectations). Throughout the process, Lisa was highly engaged and communicative, checking in frequently with updates. Most importantly, Lisa got results while making a stressful process quite simple for us. If you're looking for someone who knows the Montclair and Piedmont markets and will truly roll up their sleeves for you, we highly recommend working with her.

Marcia Weske is an excellent real estate agent that knows the Bay Area market so well. She was in constant communication with us and helped us through the process with grace and patience. She was able to garner more offers than we could have imagined, working closely with other agents, so that the final sale price was beyond our dreams. We enjoyed not only her expertise, but also her sense of humor and general positive vibe.

Jim kept us in the loop at every step of the process. He helped us find competent contractors to help us with estimates for the work and made certain we were aware of the specifics required to purchase a house in Oakland. He really went out of his way to accomodate us throughout. He was thorough, caring, knowledgeable and always pleasant. I highly recommend him and thoroughly trust his judgement and honesty. 10 out of 5 stars!!!

Marcia is a caring, efficient and highly capable agent. She made the best decisions for our home while also taking care to consult with us about what we wanted. I recommend her without reservation.

We had an excellent experience working with Jeff during the purchase of our home in Alameda. From start to finish, he communicated clearly and consistently, always keeping us informed and making sure our best interests were represented throughout the process. Jeff's deep knowledge of Alameda was especially valuable. As a native of the town, he brought local insight that gave us confidence in both the property and the neighborhood. He was also instrumental in helping manage a more complex transaction involving our 1031 exchange, coordinating seamlessly with the appraiser, escrow team, inspectors, and other moving parts to help keep everything on track. Even beyond closing, his support has continued. He has connected us with trusted local contractors and service providers for sewer inspection and replacement, handyman work, and other unexpected items that came up during escrow and after taking ownership. Having access to fair pricing and reliable local referrals has been incredibly helpful. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Alameda. His professionalism, local expertise, strong communication, and continued support made a potentially stressful process much smoother.

Working with Lisa was an incredible experience from start to finish. She truly knows the ins and outs of the Piedmont market and helped us navigate an extremely competitive buying process with confidence. She was responsive, honest, strategic, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout every step — from evaluating disclosures and inspections to helping us understand pricing, timing, and what it would take to submit a strong offer in this market. We always felt like we were in good hands. What stood out most was how well she understood the local market and community. Her experience and guidance were invaluable, and we genuinely do not think we would have found our dream home without her. We’re so grateful for all of her hard work and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Piedmont or the East Bay.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Sebastien as our agent. He is kind, polite, attentive, and thorough. You can tell he truly enjoys his work and is always looking out for your best interest. He isn’t scared to give you the facts or let you know when something might be a challenge. Sebastien was incredibly supportive throughout the process and even helped us resolve a minor issue with the sink days after closing. He’s a great communicator and very dedicated to helping clients find the right fit. He has great knowledge about what to note when touring homes (I’m a first time home buyer, so this was incredibly helpful since I had a LOT of questions), has thorough knowledge of the local market, and helped us strategize effectively to get our first offer accepted (twice!). We would absolutely use Sebastien again, but we just purchased the perfect home so we aren’t moving ever again. I cannot recommend Sebastien highly enough. He made our buying experience as seamless as possible and we are just thrilled with this work and our new home. Thank you Sebastien!

He was very helpful throughout the process of buying our first home and instrumental in negotiations. We couldn't have done it without him. I am so excited about our new home.

Jane and her team were instrumental in our purchase of a home in Piedmont, and we genuinely feel we got a great deal thanks to her guidance. What set Jane apart was her judgment on timing and offer strategy. In a market where it's easy to overpay out of urgency or miss out by hesitating, she helped us assess each opportunity carefully — knowing when to bid aggressively and when to hold back. That discipline made all the difference in the final outcome, and it also protected our time by keeping us focused on the right properties. Her assistant Carrie was equally exceptional. She accommodated our schedule by showing us homes at odd hours and consistently made herself available on short notice to let in inspectors, contractors, and other professionals as we evaluated properties. That kind of flexibility is rare and saved us enormous time and stress. Throughout the process, Jane and Carrie were warm, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They gave us honest assessments and never pushed us toward a decision that wasn't right for us. We'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone navigating the East Bay market.
