Teresa was my realtor for my first home purchase. She worked with me for over 5 months to navigate the complexities of first-time homebuying while the market was going through some big swings. We toured a lot of places together during this time until I found the perfect one. I also appreciate her for recommending an excellent loan advisor and making the process seamless. I learned a lot from her and won’t forget that she sat through hours of disclosures with me to make sure the house I bought was the right fit. I don’t expect many realtors to help their clients with the commitment and can do attitude that Teresa has. She was great at setting expectations for buying in the East Bay and crafting a winning strategy. I am very grateful that Teresa was on my team.

Leonore really helped us figure out the particularities of Oakland market and helped us navigate the home buying process as a first time home buyer. We had a quick process but she made herself very available from beginning to end! She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her!

July 19, 2026 To Sheila Sabine: We want to express our gratitude for all your hard work and attentiveness in the sales of our duplex in Oakland. The multitude of hours (!) you have expended, your knowledge and professionalism, your trustworthy advice and your accessibility at all hours, resulted in a very favorable sale of our property. In addition, we feel we have gained a new friend. Many thanks to you (here’s hoping you get SOME personal time back!),

Choosing Jennifer as our agent was a key move in our home buying process that proved to be one of our best decisions. Her command of professional communications and project management adeptly lead us through the entire process. Buying a home proved to be one of the most stressful projects in my life. Not only was Jennifer there to advise and consult, but always available to talk us off a cliff. Her knowledge of the real estate market and its customs, process, timelines, and procedures gave us the confidence and support we needed to make it over the finish line and beyond. Her advice was always spot on and correct. Thank you Jennifer for being such a pro!

My husband and I just purchased our first home with Jennifer. She was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive in helping us understand the market and get through this process. Jennifer is a great communicator and it's exactly what we needed to negotiate our home purchase. We feel really confident that we got the best possible advice and ended up with a great house we are very happy in for a very good price. Also having the resources available through Grubb was a real asset to us. Jennifer will be the first person we call if we ever need a realtor in the future. She's the best!

Regina did such a good job on remodeling the house. She walked me through everything made sure everything looked amazing. She is super friendly and very helpful. Always answer my calls walk me through everything. I would definitely recommend her to anybody else. I would have liked to get a little more money for the house, but I understand why it couldn’t happen.

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.
