She knew exactly what to do to sell our home, and highlighted the character. Wonderful agent! Was very patient with us from the beginning. She walked us calmly through the process, and never rushed or pushed us. It was such a pleasure to have her help us with the sale of our 118 year old house. We’re thrilled with the outcome of way over asking price before it was even listed!
3092 Madsen Street Hayward
We had an amazing experience working with Sylvana to sell our home. We needed to wait until we found a new home and got into escrow before we could even list our property, and Sylvana was incredibly patient and strategic throughout the entire process. Once we were in escrow, she moved quickly to help us get all of our documentation and preparations in order, and managed to get our home on the market within just two weeks. We were living in the home during showings and open houses with a toddler and an 8-month-old baby, which could have been extremely stressful—but Sylvana made everything feel as seamless and manageable as possible. She truly went above and beyond in every aspect of the process. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, we received multiple strong offers and ultimately sold our home for more than we expected. We are so grateful for her support, professionalism, and care during such a hectic time in our lives. We highly recommend Sylvana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
18737 West Cavendish Drive Castro Valley
We had an amazing experience working with Sylvana and truly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She helped us buy our first home five years ago, and when it came time to find our forever home in Castro Valley, there was no question we wanted her by our side again. This time around, the process was especially stressful for our family—we were balancing buying a new home while quickly listing our current one once in escrow, all with a 3.5-year-old and a 7-month-old baby. Sylvana went above and beyond in every possible way to make the experience as smooth and manageable as possible. She handled so much of the legwork and kept everything moving forward seamlessly, which made a huge difference for us during such a hectic time. She is incredibly responsive and always made herself available to answer our questions, no matter how big or small. She also took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, which helped us feel confident and informed in our decisions. When it came to house hunting, Sylvana’s expertise really stood out. She has a great eye for potential and was able to point out opportunities for updates and improvements that helped us truly envision living in each space. On top of that, her network is amazing—she has trusted contacts for everything from flooring and carpet to painters and handymen, which has been invaluable. Sylvana is extremely thorough, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about her clients. She consistently goes the extra mile, and it shows in everything she does. We are so grateful for her support in helping us find our forever home and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Jeff, Heather and their team are incredible to work with! From our first meeting I knew we were on the same page.! All the things that go into selling a home~cleaning, inspections, staging, and showing of the property were completed in a timely and professional manner. Having support from our agent made selling our childhood home less of a burden and more of a legacy. I would highly recommend Jeff Goodman with Compass Reality!
26350 Stryker Street Hayward
Jeff was very competent and thorough. He communicated with me throughout the entire process. Although progress was slow, due entirely to me and the emotion of selling my childhood home after my mother’s passing, he was patient and kind. He was helpful in recommending resources for removal of household items, cleaning, etc. He also did not try to upsell services. Originally, we thought staging would be beneficial, but when it came time to put the home on the market, staging was not needed and he recommended against it. He was correct. We appreciated his professionalism and integrity. The entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Jeff and Compass and would definitely use his services again. You will be happy dealing with him!
1716 Santa Clara Avenue Alameda
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.

Heidi Marchesotti
Corcoran Icon Properties

Avg. sale price
Sold (as lead agent)
Reviews in Alameda County
5468 Proctor Avenue Oakland
Simply put, Heidi is a phenomenal real estate agent with an almost uncanny sense of the market and a wealth of experience in Upper Rockridge. Selling a home lived in for over 30 years is complicated. Emotions permeate everything. Heidi managed the process with depth, intelligence, and poise. She outlined a robust plan, provided crews to touch up cosmetics where needed, and kept to a rational timetable that optimized for best sales outcomes. She did this all while communicating every step along the way and maintaining complete transparency. Ultimately the property was on the market only briefly, the sale price far exceeded the listing price, and a wonderful young family purchased a home that they can grow into for years to come. It was the best of all possible scenarios for all concerned.
108 Bonita Avenue Piedmont
Heidi was the first agent I reached out to sell my family home. She had sold a similar home to ours just one block away. After our initial phone conversation I knew I wanted to work with Heidi. She is extremely professional, personable, knowledgeable and has outstanding communication and follow-up skills. Throughout the process of preparing our home for sale, she was so supportive and offered assistance at every step of the way. She managed our expectations and was always available to provide advice. Without a doubt, Heidi was integral in helping us move out of the house which was a major process. She has outstanding resources to help make an overwhelming process much easier. We simply could not done it without her! We are so incredibly pleased with the new owners of our long-time (almost 70 years) home - a young family who will have the same experience of making Piedmont their home for many decades. My family could not have been more pleased with Heidi and all she did for us.

Audrey Young

Reviews in Alameda County
575 Blair Avenue Piedmont
I can’t say enough good things about Audrey. She was extremely helpful even when we thought we were going to rent the house and when we decided to sell you couldn’t tell the difference. She puts the client first and this will lead to much repeat business and many referrals. She is organized and takes on every responsibility to get things done. Every vendor she brought in was terrific. There were weekly “To Do” lists and gentle reminders. And she’s fun and clever. Great experience.

We recently sold our home in Piedmont Pines with Audrey's help, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From day one, she had a clear, organized plan to get us on the market and managed the timeline seamlessly so nothing fell through the cracks. Audrey is very organized, clear in communicating, and has a calm demeanor that lets you know that everything is under control. What really stood out was Audrey's recommendations for the right updates prior to going on the market. She made targeted recommendations for updates and upgrades that would make financial sense without going overboard, and I believe her recommendations were a great return on investment. She works with stagers and tradespeople who were very reliable and all did an amazing job. The house looked incredible by the time it went on the market. Also, the marketing she put together generated serious interest fast — we had 6 offers within 6 days of listing, and sold well above asking price. Audrey brought a calm, steady energy to the whole process that made something stressful feel very manageable. She clearly knows her market, knows how to position a home, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for her clients. If you're thinking about selling, don't hesitate — call Audrey.
3938 Oakmore Rd Oakland
Audrey is the perfect blend of knowledgeable professional and empathetic listener. We were constantly peppering her with questions and "ideas" and she always responded quickly and thoughtfully even if we were likely being a little silly. She had very good knowledge about the oakland market with a lot of her predictions on sale prices being spot on. She also has access to so many connections which is critical for bay area real estate. We had a bad experience with a realtor buying out condo prior and were so nervous about having someone take advantage of us again. Audrey was always honest and caring. We are absolutely smitten with our new home.
