Regina Jacobs was recommended by everyone, including realtors we met in other counties. We'd met her in open houses through the years and decided to go with her based on the strength of the word of mouth reviews we'd heard. From the start she was honest, professional, understanding, and, client-centered. She was always available to help us with the many confusing aspects of the selling process. Relationship-wise, she would call a contractor or materials store and they would instantly be on board. At one point, someone offered to open their closed store immediately so we could look at finishes! That relationship building worked on our end as well. We never felt "handled" or pushed into anything. She was entirely on top of all the prep work that needed to be done. We joke that it's too bad we can't hire Regina to run our next remodel. We had, naturally, concerns over getting the house ready for sale. She always worked within our budget, but as a seller, you can't know if the money is well spent until the sale happens. My wife and I are both financiallly cautious prople. In the end, we followed her suggestions. When we sold our home for well over what we ever imagined we would get, I said to her, "Regina, we did everything you asked and you delivered." Despite a very strong offer, she made sure we had a back-up in contract as well. She was always prepared for different scenarios and I always felt that she was being honest with us. Regina was a true partner in the sale of our home and a kind and communicative person with an incredibly deep knowledge of all the aspects of the market here, from finishes to staging to landscaping to contracts and permits.

Lisa is an authentic and caring real estate agent who represented us in the sale of our longtime family home. We initially got possessive over the details when freshening up our home to get it market-ready. Once Lisa listened, allayed our concerns and had us trust in the process, we left the details to her. Her communication was great from start to finish. We met in the fall, wanting to sell in the spring. She knew the timing of which day to reveal our house on MLS based on the school calendar and worked backwards to time each piece needed to meet that date. The marketing materials she prepared were exceptional. The social media reels she developed were fun and highlighted the features of our home. Our house was on the market for 12 days and we received multiple offers. We weren’t sure what to expect in this market, but Lisa knows what buyers’ want and we very pleased with the outcome.

Marianne and Lindsay Scott were my realtors for selling a multi-unit building in Oakland. They were a great mother daughter team—well-informed, timely, thorough, and professional. They answered all of my questions and provided infinite wisdom throughout the entire process. Not only were they professional, but they were also enjoyable and fun to work with, adding just the right amount of humor to what can sometimes be an emotional business of selling a beloved asset. Thank you both for bringing light, honesty, integrity, and wisdom to selling my building, and more importantly, for finding the best possible clients to be the new owners.

Dana set reasonable expectations at the start. She gave us cost estimates that turned out to be surprisingly (to us) accurate. She outlined the entire process in advance and gave us a very clear sense of her strategy — and so, as we hit key steps, we understood what was happening and why. We felt like we were all on the same page from our first meeting through closing. The ongoing conversation with her kept us at ease. When we were nervous, she was steady. When we were tired, she was pleasant. And that, really, was a big part of this. As high as the stakes were, every interaction, every call, every meeting was easy. Those meetings lightened our mood. We so enjoyed working with her.

Dana went the extra mile to get us the sale price we wanted. She was upfront about the small amount of investment to prep for sale and was a good assessor of the market.

Working with Jim to buy my home in Oakland was a fantastic experience. I was specifically looking for a fixer-upper, and I quickly realized that many agents don't have the technical eye needed for those types of properties. Jim, however, was an outlier. He knew exactly what to look for when evaluating the home's condition and provided invaluable insight during the walkthroughs. He also handled the extra layer of a probate sale smoothly, keeping the process moving and making sure every detail was covered. Most importantly, he is a sharp negotiator who secured a great price for me. I felt confident throughout the entire process knowing he had the expertise to handle a project house and a slightly more unique sale

Ana and team Forrest helped us from beginning to end with our house sale. She was able to negotiate discounts with the various parties involved in preparing our home for sale and helped identify those things that gave us the best return on our money, while still delivering quality upgrades to our buyer. The marketing was spot on and delivered great results for us.

I appreciated Teresa's compassion and clear communication. She was open, a great educator about the process and thorough.

We had a great experience working with Regina Jacobs at The Grubb Company to sell our home in the Oakmore neighborhood in Oakland. We started speaking with her about a year before listing, and her advice on what to do to prepare and when to go to market was incredibly helpful. When it came time to sell, we were actually out of the country, but Regina handled everything, including cleaning, prepping, and staging. The listing generated strong interest, we received 10 offers, and ultimately sold for a great price.

If you’re looking for a realtor who is completely "on it," look no further than Analise. We tried to sell our place twice last year with zero luck, but Analise stepped in and totally turned things around. She managed to get us a great price and multiple offers by being incredibly organized and decisive from day one. Beyond her stellar preparation, advice and negotiating, she’s just a really friendly, accommodating person to work with. She made a stressful process feel way more manageable. We seriously can't recommend her enough!
