I am experienced in the marketing of real property for clients. I discussed the subject property with several potential realtors, received advice from a friend who is one of the most successful realtors in Northern California and interviewed four prospects. In contrast to the other three, Steven Good was immediately responsive to my request for an interview and provided some pertinent written materials on less than a day’s notice. Again in contrast to the others, he believed that the property could be sold as a residence rather than as a teardown. With remarkable speed, he analyzed and recommended the various improvements that should be made in order to expose the property to the market most advantageously. Using his many contacts, he identified contractors and individuals to do the necessary work and obtained my approval. He monitored all the work being done and kept me advised of its progress. He established a budget for the work and did not exceed it. He created an attractive website to offer the property for sale. Several persons who had known the late owner and were familiar with her home expressed amazement at how attractive the work Mr. Good recommended had made the property. He was thorough in exposing the property to other brokers. He was knowledgeable about the prospect of a “bidding war” occurring. He recommended listing the price at a figure well above that recommended by the other three broker candidates. As soon as the bidding was open, we received an offer $150,000 above the asking price, and the property was ultimately sold for $250,000 more. Mr. Good continued, as he had from the beginning, monitoring the entire process. He worked out an issue affecting the allocation, of property taxes. The sale closed only 14 days after my acceptance of the offer, with no complications. As a lawyer specializing in estates, I will have the opportunity to engage or recommend real estate brokers for property in the Montclair area. My choice will be Steven Good.

She is responsive, engaged and focused on selling your home. She is detail oriented and self motivated! She made an Excellent Partner in the sale of Our Home that did not sell for 90 Days under another brokerage firm and stale agent. Lisa came in, we made some needed and adjustments, and put the home right back onto the market just short of 30 days later, then within less than two weeks we had seven offers and sold our home 327Kk over asking! Her name is Lisa Chan...but my wife and I just call her...LISA CAN!!!

I was dreading making decisions and the whole process of selling a house but Kacey brought great ideas and positive energy that brought my stress level down tremendously. She’s well connected with contractors and made excellent recommendations on how to prepare the house — with clear timelines and budget estimates. Choosing Kacey was our one critical decision and I’d choose her again without any hesitation whatsoever.

Jane and her team were flawless, literally, with every step of the process. My Mom’s house needed a lot of work. Jane and crew literally set the style, picked and contracted with the contractors, managed the project on a day to day basis, and handled all billing and sign-offs. Work was very high quality and exactly what the house needed without me needing to lift a finger basically. The project came in exactly on budget. The house was then marketed intensely by Jane, the price set just right (all with her guidance) and the offers then just flowed in. Closing was smooth and clean. Look no more! If you want an agent to get it ALL done correctly, on budget and on-time call her right now!

Cheryl and Lori were absolutely amazing to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for their guidance and support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Martha is a wonderful realtor - she helped us navigate a complex situation (purchasing our rental property from our landlord) from beginning to end , all the while being extremely responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Martha knows the nuances of real estate buying and selling in different parts of Oakland extremely well. Having Martha represent us allowed us to submit an offer that was ultimately accepted before the property was listed. Thank you, Martha, for making our dream a reality!

Unhei was very knowledgeable about the local market and gave great advice to this first time homebuyer

Shelly is in a class of her own. She works tirelessly. Shelly brought our offer to the seller by 11pm on the same day we were told there was a midnight deadline. She chased every email, phone call, and left no stone unturned. She does all this with good humor and tons of personality. Shelly goes above and beyond what you believe someone will do for their job. Clearly, there is much care, concern and well meaning that goes into all her consideration.

Strong recommendation for Anja Plowright and team. From initial introductory call to handover of keys, Anja, Emma and Rena delivered seasoned professionalism, deep market knowledge and friendly rapport. As a team, they are able to be very responsive whether by text, email, phone or seeing a listing in person. In a very competitive and sometimes complex East Bay market, our effort was surprisingly smooth and quick, many thanks to Anja, Emma and Rena.

If you are fortunate enough to choose Audrey Young as your agent, you are in capable, caring hands. We’d give her 10 stars if we could. Audrey helped my husband (and I) following the death of his brother. My husband was the Administrator of his brother’s estate, which included a unique home in Montclair. She recommended workers to finish the daunting task of cleaning out the house, suggested an incredible handyman and other professionals and guided and gently encouraged us to make some repairs, paint, carpet and stage the house. Oh my, what a difference this made!! The house had considerable charm to begin with, but her suggestions without a doubt made for a quick and satisfying sale for both seller and buyer. Audrey’s knowledge of the market was key. Also, her team made the negotiations and lead up to closing reassuring and successful. We’d be remiss to not mention that Audrey has a certain effective and caring way of communicating. She listens well, asks the right questions and truly has your welfare in mind. Did we also say she has a heart of gold?!? Although my husband worked more with Audrey, writing reviews is not his thing, so after discussing all of the above with him and knowing Audrey well enough too, I jumped at the chance to sing her praises. She is truly one of a kind… A simple thank you isn’t enough, Audrey! We will recommend you and Grubb to anyone looking to buy or sell in her area….for sure! -Tom and Loranne
