Carol guided us through the sale of a fixer-upper that had been in the family for more than 30 years. She understood we wanted to get a great price even though the house was not in very good shape, so she clearly laid out our options: 1) Sell the house in as-is condition to investors who would pay with cash, 2) Take on a big remodel job ourselves and sell the house for top dollar, or 3) Get inspections done, do a small amount of work to get rid of the "ick" factors, and list it for buyers who wanted a deal. Ultimately, we chose option 3, which meant that Carol had to work hard for the sale. On a tight timeline, she and her husband Soosh referred us to an excellent team of people to get the work done: a handyman, haulers, gardeners, house cleaners, pool cleaners, inspectors, stagers, and more. We were very pleased with the end result, and we highly recommend her to sellers in the Walnut Creek & larger Contra Costa County areas.

Working with Ellyn was the best experience from start to finish! She toured us through different Lamorinda neighborhoods and guided us every step of the way as we searched for the right home. She made the home buying process fun, and we truly wouldn’t have found our home without her. As first time buyers, we had no idea where to start, but Ellyn made the entire process approachable and stress-free. She was incredibly knowledgeable, always available to answer our questions, and helped us understand every step along the way. When it came time to make an offer, she provided thoughtful guidance and helped us put together a winning offer that we felt completely comfortable with. We are so grateful for Ellyn! Both for her expertise and for her friendship throughout this journey. We can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy a home in the Lamorinda area!

Last May 2025, when my husband and I first contacted Mareijke Weidemann about helping us find a new home in the East Bay, we didn't imagine the process of selling our home in Windsor (Sonoma County) and buying a new home would consume a whole year. But it did, due to an unexpected downturn in residential real estate sales, and we're so grateful Mareijke did't flinch during this protracted period. Mareijke came highly recommended to us by our real estate broker, David Hargreaves, himself a stellar broker in the Windsor-Healdsburg area of Sonoma County. Over the ensuring months, we came to appreciate Mareijke's many outstanding qualities that proved helpful to us in finding a suitable new home in the highly competitive buyer environment of the East Bay Area. Mareijke's extensive knowledge about housing availability and pricing in a wide variety of neighborhoods; ability to determine a neighborhood fit for us; her financial background as a CPA; and most importantly, her attention to our personal desires and needs proved invaluable to steering us to the "perfect" home. During this entire process, Mareijke has answered all our questions about the transaction itself and about getting settled into our new neighborhood. Even after the completion of the home purchase, Mareijke has continued to express interest and support of our transition into our new home. As a result, we have come to regard her as a true friend and professional advisor. In addition to being super smart and engaging, Mareijke is charming, delightful, and fun-loving. You won't find a better combination!

They were showing a model that I was interested in and contacted me to see it. The price had been reduced and we made an offer. Accepted. So glad. They helped stage our previous model and sold it in a not very strong market. They helped with all paperwork. Thank you!

Ashley is absolutely committed to helping her clients. Whether it’s for buying or selling (and we had multiple real estate experiences with her). Each time we saw her go above and beyond to get to escrow. She knows the market and even when the market isn’t as strong as one might hope for, Ashley surpassed our expectations!

Amy Zeller is a truly wonderful realtor. She helped my mom through the process of purchasing a home in Rossmoor, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. She showed great knowledge, patience, and compassion throughout the process. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Lisa selected six places to view the first day. The first unit was perfect for me. She clearly understood what I envisioned as my ideal home. At the end of the first day viewing, we huddled on a sensible offer strategy. The following day, the seller accepted the offer. The road to closing was impeccably organized. Lisa was always available to clarify issues and was very attentive. She clearly loves her job. I would not hesitate a moment in recommending her to any of my friends who may be looking for a new home. Lisa is a FIVE STAR professional.

Leslie was the most spectacular agent I have ever dealt with. She was at the house almost daily, seeing that the contractor completed all that was needed. Every detail has been taken care of. Thanks to her , my house is perfect!!!! Judy Dennis

Leslie is professional, ethical, responsive, knowledgeable about the market and the industry, and well respected in her community. And on a personal level, her humor, generosity of time, kindness and patience made what was a challenging process into a positive adventure of hope and change. After working with her to find and purchase a new house, with implicit trust and confidence, we hired her to sell our first home.

Very responsive and took action immidiately, provided support in areas not part of the agreement ,kept me grounded, and made sure that the end result would be very positive
