830 Alvarado Road Oakland
Faye first found us a house in 1991 — it hadn’t even gone on the market yet but she knew it was just what we were looking for, and she made it happen. Fast forward 35 years and she just helped us quickly and efficiently sell our most recent house in the hills. The real estate business has evolved dramatically over those 35 years — it’s more complicated and requires attention to the most minute details — but Faye hasn’t missed a beat. She’s totally on top of all the issues and makes things as clean and easy as possible for her clients. Through it all she’s cheerful, upbeat and always available. Whenever we’re asked to recommend an agent, we don’t hesitate — it’s always Faye Keogh. Setting aside the real estate aspect, Faye’s also just been a good friend over those 35 years. She’s the best.

Forget about “Better Call Saul” ‘cause you “Better Call Faye” as she is the absolute BEST in real estate. My husband and I both highly recommend her as we bought and sold our house with her! In 2013, we moved from Boston to Berkeley and we needed to find a house for our growing family. We were extremely fortunate to find Faye Keogh at The Grubb Company who became our realtor! It seems like such a cliche, but she actually listened to us and only took us to houses that had true potential for our family. I remember walking into this beautiful Mediterranean house that she found and instantly thinking, “This is it!” We made so many beautiful and wonderful memories there as a family and with our friends. Twelve years later in 2025, with our kids in college and officially empty-nesters, we decided to downsize and put the house on the market. We went straight back to Faye! She returned and walked us through the entire selling process, keeping a keen, trained, and experienced eye on the current housing market, offered helpful suggestions for refreshing the house (We did live in it for 12 years with 2 busy kids!), organized effective Open Houses, and she hired the most amazing photographer, landscapers, house cleaners, and other professionals to showcase the house to its fullest potential. She is a true and seasoned professional, organized, kind, knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and always very generous with her time, energy, and spirit. We really appreciated this! Plus, she knows the Berkeley area like the back of her hand! It was pure pleasure to work with her because buying and selling your most precious possession should be easy, drama- free, and dare I even say it…enjoyable and fun too. We truly had an amazing experience working with Faye!

I cannot recommend Karan highly enough for anyone looking to buy a property. We encountered several hurdles during our search and some mortgage process, but Karan was always one step ahead. He was incredibly proactive in communicating with our lender and ensuring our documentation for 33834 9th Street was handled with total confidentiality and care. Karan provided a masterclass in service by leveraging his deep expertise to turn a complex purchase into a seamless experience, specifically distinguishing himself through his ability to pivot when mortgage issues arose by presenting creative, flexible solutions that prioritized our unique needs and truly demonstrated how much he values his clients. His ability to solve problems before they even reached us made this journey far less stressful than we ever imagined. Truly a five-star experience!

Cyril was exceptional throughout our home buying journey. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the real estate market and took the time to truly listen to what we wanted. He consistently acted in our best interest and executed everything with precision and care. We feel incredibly fortunate to have met Cyril by chance at an open house—it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. He guided us through every step of the purchasing process, ensuring everything was organized, detailed, and easy to understand. Cyril was always available whenever we had questions, no matter the time, and he responded with clarity and expertise. His professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire experience. We highly recommend Cyril to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and truly client-focused real estate agent.

Working with Sandra as our buyer’s agent made a huge difference in what could have been a very overwhelming experience. Between navigating pricing, paperwork, timelines, and a competitive bidding war — everything felt like a lot, especially since things moved so quickly for us. We saw a home and had only 48 hours to submit an offer — and we didn’t even have our pre-approval ready at that point. Sandra immediately stepped in, guided us through every step, and handled everything with speed and clarity. She was incredibly strategic in how she positioned our offer — from pricing to communication with the seller’s agent — and made sure everything was submitted quickly and correctly. Because of her, we were able to put forward a strong offer and win in a competitive situation. She’s also been my go-to for anything real estate related — always responsive, always helpful, and always willing to go above and beyond. What I appreciated most was her balance — calm and caring throughout the process, but also sharp, proactive, and strategic when it mattered most. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Sandra is an amazing, helpful, knowledgeable realtor who took great care of us as we searched for a home. She got to know our family and worked so hard to make sure that we found the perfect home. Throughout our entire home search, Sandra made us feel like we were her number one priority and made herself readily available to us. As first time buyers, she was patient, communicative, and so very helpful as we navigated the home buying process. She taught us so much about real estate and made sure that every step of the buying process went smoothly. We cannot thank Sandra enough for all that she has done for our family, she is truly the best!

Sandra was an absolute dream to have represent us. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great guide throughout the process but most importantly she will do everything (literally everything) to ensure you get a great house at a great price and will have a smooth closing. We had an offer accepted on our house and I’ll just that there were some challenges we had to deal with but Sandra was completely on top of everything, pushed to get everything finalized on time, held our hands through the process and ultimately was willing to pay for things out of her own commission to ensure we were happy at close. Honestly could not say enough good things. At first we considered trying to buy a house without a realtor and AM SO GLAD we went with Sandra instead. Could not imagine going through this process without her. She is an absolute rockstar.
