Buyer of 2426 West Street, Berkeley
Laura has an incredible grasp on the Berkeley Market. She also is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to identifying issues in disclosures as well as how to mitigate them. Even after closing Laura offers her time to assist with connecting us with reputable people in her network for any of our housing needs. I cannot recommend Laura enough!
Seller of 3560 Dwight Way, Oakland
Laura is an exceptional realtor whose wisdom, deep experience, talent, ability to work around challenges, and her honesty and candor garnered multiple offers on my home and a winning bid that was higher than I could have reasonably expected. She accomplished this by creatively addressing a few challenges on my home and property that other designers and a landscape architect were unable to meaningfully address. She also helped resolve a couple of permitting issues that had impeded putting my home on the market. But, even more than these, Laura’s wise counsel, her candor and impeccable honesty led me comfortably through the process of selling my home. She was always available to discuss my (sometimes neurotic) concerns, and allay my fears (or at least put them in perspective). Her insights on market timing, building interest in my home, evaluating offers, and navigating around a couple of issues that risked upsetting close of escrow were all invaluable. I interviewed about a half-dozen realtors before choosing Laura because she seemed the best choice by far, and even with those high expectations, she exceeded them. The actual cost of readying and staging my house for showing was significantly less than the other realtors I interviewed estimated, and I netted about 20% more from selling my home with Laura than the others believed I could get. Laura is not only someone whose great work yielded significant financial benefit, but she is also now someone who I consider a friend. I could not recommend her more highly.
Seller of 3343 Dwight Way, Oakland
Laura is simply the best investment a seller can make. She handled a precious property that had been in our family for decades with respect and got a better result for us than we were hoping for. She's a wonderfully responsive and enjoyable communicator -- she actually made a process we were dreading fun! She helped us price the property strategically, reading the market like the professional she is. All marketing was masterful, from advice on where to focus upgrade efforts to staging, photography and advertising. I am certain she was an irresistible presence at the open houses, which she handled with aplomb.

Debbie went above and beyond our expectation of her services She made the selling of my house and the move cross country as easy as possible! I would highly recommend Can’t say enough about her! We appreciate all her professional knowledge and kindness! Thanks Debbie!
Seller of 1484 Heidelberg Drive, Livermore
We contacted Debbie as we were looking to move out of the Bay Area. She put us in contact with a real estate agent in the area that we were looking to move. We had her come by and look at our house, so we could know what things we needed to do to sell our house. She was very helpful with her suggestions. Anytime we had questions, we would give her a call, and she was always quick to respond. After finding a new house in the location we wanted to move, Debbie came by, went through everything with us and listed our house. Inspections were done, pictures taken and within 2 weeks our house was sold. Debbie takes care of everything, including dropping off boxes and bubble wrap for our packing. While we moved to our new home, Debbie was taking care of getting rid of furnishings and appliance's that we no longer needed. She had junk removed, the house cleaned and landscaped before the new homeowner moved in. We cannot give enough praise for the job, she did for us.

Buyer of 7415 Circle Hill Drive, Oakland
We connected with Marissa at an open house and right away Marissa stepped up to learn our wants and needs to better help us find our home. As first time home buyers, we were nervous and unsure of the process, but Marissa met with us and broke down every step. She made herself easily available for any question that we had and was very responsive. We (very, very) quickly found our dream house and Marissa wasn't afraid to work swiftly with us to put our offer in (and under asking!). She connected us with fantastic mortgage lenders and insurance brokers. She also helped us to find inspectors, roofers, electricians, foundation and drainage people, cleaners ... the works! In many ways her hard work did not stop after we closed on our house and she has been a valuable resource for the additional work that the house needs. We really could not have done it without her and we are endlessly grateful for all of the hard work and expertise she put in helping us to purchase our home. We highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the East Bay!

Selling a home can be stressful, but their deep knowledge of the local market and strategic approach made the entire process smooth and virtually stress-free. What really stood out was their exceptional communication and responsiveness. They always kept me in the loop, answered my endless questions, and were proactive in guiding me through every single step of the closing.
Seller of 1540 C St, Hayward
Les, Cristina, and the Fohl Realty Team an all star team. They guided us through the entire process and helped us secure the best possible deal. They fought tooth and nail for us down to the last minute. They are very organized and they have solid plan on getting our house sold. They offered great advice during the whole process but ultimately left the decisions up to us. I would 100% recommend them and definitely use them again. It was a pleasure working with them!
