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.

Sebastien is a phenomenal strategist and a savvy negotiator. In a market as competitive such as the Bay Area, you need someone who is fast and very well-connected. Sebastien managed to draft and submit my offer with speed, and his rapport with other listing agents gave me a distinct advantage. He provided precise input on strategic pricing and potential repair costs, which made me feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. Sebastien is truly a professional who clearly understands how to win in today’s real estate market.

Mareijke helped us sell our family home, which had been in our family for more than 60 years. The house needed quite a bit of preparation; from clearing out decades of belongings to refinishing hardwood floors, painting, and refreshing the garden, Mareijke managed every detail with care and expertise. We could not have successfully navigated this sale without her guidance, professionalism, and experience. She was a wonderful partner throughout the entire process, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Always responds to calls and texts within a more than acceptable timeframe. Displays an excellent knowledge of the sales environment and the geographic market . Became a quasi project manager in the process of choosing and interacting with the vendors chosen by us as well as by herself. Adele is a true professional which is an attribute given by us as well as the vendors. The best thing about having chosen Adele is her positive attitude and confidence.

We had an awesome experience working with Becca to purchase our home in Alameda. Becca is pleasant and patient, and has excellent communication skills. She is very hardworking, responsive, and responsible. She helped us to effectively navigate some tricky situations that came up with the seller during the rent back. She also helped us out with coordinating some work that had to be completed before we moved in. Becca also made our home buying experience extra special with some thoughtful gestures and gifts. We recommend Becca!

If you want a drama-free, home purchase or sale, use Heather Duke's crews. You will not be disappointed.

Highly Recommended Expert in Alameda! ​Working with Sebastien was an outstanding experience. We chose to handle the initial home search ourselves, but his expertise and guidance in the critical stages were absolutely essential. ​Sebastien is a true partner and a total professional. He provided invaluable, precise input on strategic pricing and delivered accurate estimates for potential repair costs, which clarified the long-term value of every home we considered. ​He was always available and incredibly patient with our delays and doubts. Despite any hesitation on our side, he managed to draft and submit every offer extremely fast. ​Perhaps most importantly, he clearly and thoroughly explained every single detail and nuance of the documentation. His attention to detail is remarkable: he even discovered an error in the escrow paperwork that the officer had overlooked. ​We felt completely protected and informed throughout the entire process. If you want an agent who is responsive, patient, and brings a superior level of analytical expertise to your home purchase, we highly recommend Sebastien.

Heather continues to offer ongoing advice, assistance and support as I navigate both purchase and sale.

When I first met Rebecca at an open house I was immediately struck by her generous spirit, her approachable style, and professionalism. I knew right away she was an agent I could deeply rely on with such a stressful, personal transaction. She approached each phase of the purchase with timely and responsive feedback, attending not only to my needs, but the demands placed on us by everyone involved in the process. I was particularly impressed at her ability to manage the complex coordination of escrow for a less traditional coop purchase. At close, she and her team made me feel like I was their best and only client and the celebration of the sale made me feel welcomed and accomplished. I am truly grateful for the expertise Rebecca provided, so much so I trusted her with the sale of my condo as well! As my listing agent now also, I can see where her gifts truly shine. Thank you Becca, Jeff, Heather, and the Goodman Group for everything you have done.

Heather is simply outstanding. She was always available and responsive to any questions we had. She had solutions to our challenges, and if she didn't, she had good reason why. She and her team went above and beyond to help make things happen in a timely manner. Even though we knew she had other people to attend to, she made us feel like we were her top priority. On top of all of this, she is fun to work with! We will not hesitate to recommend Heather to anyone.
