Working with Jamie was an amazing experience! She knows the market and what it takes to get a house sold. We had several renovations that were necessary, and she guided us through every one. She helped pick out products, worked on design, and kept the workers on a timeline. She was always only a call or text away. She kept us informed of every step along the way. She is also an excellent negotiator. She is a caring and knowledgeable agent. I would recommend her without hesitation.
We cannot find enough good words to say about Caitlin. She is a Genius at real estate. She is the kindest and most compassionate of business people, while never losing sight of her responsibilities, her mission, her vision, her ethics, our budget, or her humanity. She walked into our house and formed a vision of the house at its best, and she turned her vision, though all the complex twists and turns of paperwork and construction and painting and staging, and budgeting, into a gorgeous home that appealed to a really outstanding family we feel happy will love our beloved house. It was a privilege to have her touch and her talent guide us and our house and family through this usually difficult process. We are deeply indebted to her. And her vision helped us find a wonderful buyer willing to pay us an amazing top dollar amount for our house. Way over asking! Thank you, Caitlin!
Regina was an incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable and thorough agent in the process of selling our home. Our meetings prior to selling the home were efficient and organized. Her teams suggestions on updates or changes to make to the house to prepare it for sale were not pushed onto us but instead shared and we were given the opportunity to discuss potential impact and make a decision. We moved across the country prior to our house hitting the market. Regina served as our eyes and ears throughout the whole process and kept us updated which really helped to calm our stress about being so far away during the preparations and the sales. She is very responsive and often answered calls or texts almost immediately. She is very knowledgeable about the market and advised us using that knowledge which was spot on. She is incredibly professional and has a great group of people on her team. If we had to do this again in Oakland, she would definitely be our first choice for a realtor.
I had a great experience working with Ashley to sell my condo in Newark. With the changes and fluctuations in the real estate market, selling a condo came with its fair share of challenges, but Ashley remained dedicated, proactive, and committed throughout the entire process. From the beginning, Ashley demonstrated professionalism, patience, and a genuine commitment to getting my property sold. She explored creative marketing strategies, including professional photography, staging, and finding different ways to increase exposure and attract potential buyers. I appreciated her willingness to adapt her approach as market conditions changed rather than simply waiting for the right buyer to come along. One of the things I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She consistently followed up, kept me informed of updates and developments, and was always available to answer questions or address concerns. Once we found the right buyer, she made the closing process easy and straightforward, successfully closing the sale in just seven days! Ashley genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to represent their best interests. She is diligent, hardworking, responsive, and someone you can trust to guide you through the selling process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Nashaba is, without a doubt, the best real estate agent you could ask for. She worked absolute magic to help us find and buy our home. She helped us find a property that wasn't even listed on Zillow or the public market when a previous deal fell through. Her connections with the seller’s agent made all the difference in getting our offer accepted and closing fast. On top of that, she recommended a fantastic loan officer who got our financing closed in a record 10 days. What really sets Nashaba apart is her heart and dedication. When we were out of town and had an unexpected break-in, she didn't hesitate to rush over, get our locks changed, and guide us through handling the situation. She is professional, resourceful, and fiercely dedicated to her clients. If you want an agent who will go above and beyond every single time, call Nashaba!
Anja Plowright and her entire team were so helpful and so reassuring through what normally is a very stressful process. Her experience and expertise helped me throughout, and it feels like every decision we made was the right one. In particular, once I cleaned out the home, the patching, painting and most importantly the staging (all from professionals she had worked with many times) made it look amazing on the two weekends of open house. I felt comfortable with the initial pricing and the offers received exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend Anja again to anyone buying or selling a home in the East Bay.
As first time home-buyers in the Bay Area, we were nervous to navigate the process but working with Jennifer made it feel manageable. Within three weeks of starting our search, Jennifer found us a home that had the yard and workshop space we wanted and helped us draft an offer we were comfortable with to beat out several competing offers. She continued to provide support after our offer was accepted, recommending and meeting several contractors with us before closing so we could hit the ground running as soon as we got the keys.
Candice and David couldn’t have made selling my family’s Berkeley home easier for me. I was navigating difficult family dynamics in a trust sale, and they guided me through every step with patience and care. They went the extra mile, not only finding excellent vendors but also meeting with prospective vendors on my behalf. Their knowledge of the Berkeley market was evident from the moment we hired them to the day we closed. Most importantly, they’re good people, which makes a huge difference during something as significant as selling a family home. I highly recommend Candice and David to anyone looking to sell their home.
We went through the unique scenario of buying the home we were renting. Despite the long shot odds, Adrienne stuck with us the entire way and helped make our dream a reality. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and strategic. Her local knowledge combined with our knowledge of the home got us to the price point we wanted.
She was great all around!
