We couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with John on the sale of our parents’ longtime home, which was part of a trust sale. From our very first meeting, John brought invaluable guidance, insight, and clear recommendations—whether it was identifying the right repairs and upgrades to undertake or analyzing recent comps to help us land on a smart, strategic listing price. John crafted a thoughtful and efficient timeline to prepare the home for market, ensuring we hit our desired listing date without stress. He introduced us to a network of reliable, high-quality vendors who handled the updates, arranged for top-tier staging that truly elevated the home’s appeal, and coordinated stunning professional photography that made the property shine. Once the listing went live, John’s marketing efforts were seamless and highly effective. He drove significant interest through multiple open houses and kept us consistently informed throughout the process. Most impressively, when the real estate market suddenly shifted, John’s steady guidance during the offer and counteroffer stage was essential. Thanks to his strategic approach, we were able to secure a sale above asking price—despite the market cooling. Our entire family deeply appreciated John’s expertise, professionalism, and steady hand throughout this emotional and complex process. We’re thrilled to give him our highest recommendation.

Mike Shaw was referred to us by a friend who thought he would be the best qualified to assist with a home sale. Our rental property became vacant and was left in terrible shape. We didn't know where to begin to find companies to help with remodeling the whole house and prepare it for sale. Mike put bids together to remodel the kitchen, bath, new floors, electrical, painting and yard space. He reviewed the pricing, had the various contractors present their bids, and monitored the whole process. He went to the cabinet shop and picked the style and color . He often visited the house and reported to us on the progress of the repairs. He ordered the lighting for each room and also appliances. We, in turn, were prompt in paying for each completed step. When there were some marks on the floor, Mike made sure the contractor re-sanded to make them perfect. The yard was challenging because of the heavy rains. When the grass placement was not perfect he had the nursery person correct the issues. The house was staged and Mike reviewed the furniture set up and also was at the house for the removal of the furniture after the sale. He also made a terrific video to show the house at its best. Mike reviewed all documents with us to sell the house. He made this hard process easy and comfortable. His knowledge of the process was impeccable. He made many recommendations that helped us sell the house quickly and over the asking price. We are so pleased with the process and would defiantly use him again.

Buyer of 14 St Lawrence Ct, Pleasant Hill
Karen was accessible, patient, and conscientious. We were already heavily into watching homes, so we would set up a list of homes we liked and Karen diligently scheduled property viewings for them. The entire home search from engaging Karen to final sale offer acceptance took less than a month. We looked at homes in San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Walnut Creek, and Pleasant Hill. In just 3 sessions we viewed 4-7 properties per day. Karen stayed in touch with seller agents and kept us informed about developments for each of the properties which we wanted to track. When we settled on a house that we really liked, Karen coached us through tendering an offer. I would have liked more counsel about what price to offer; she simply advised to offer as much as we could. Out first offer was 4% over list price, waiving all contingencies, but still came in lower than some others. Karen did a good job communicating to the sellers that we were amenable to a counter-offer. The sellers gave us a counter-offer for 7% over list, and we took it. It was an overpay, but only by a little bit. I give Karen a lot of credit for keeping us in the running during the bidding.
