Lucy shepherded us through what was--to us at least--an intense and complex home buying experience. As newlyweds embarking on our first home purchase, we had a ton of questions, and very little experience and comparatives. She quickly helped us narrow down and define our wants, needs and preferences, while educating us on the process in a thoughtful manner which allowed us to make the critical decisions with as much information as possible. She offered us several days of tours, sent us listings at the pace that we requested (which changed a couple of times, due to our own life circumstances), and made herself quite available for showings when open houses were not feasible. When we did find the house that we wanted, we had a lot of challenges with the seller's agent, who delayed paperwork until the last possible moment (sometimes beyond the deadlines with no communication), then would turn around and send demands that we respond to requests immediately (even if out of town). Lucy went above and beyond here, maintaining a functioning relationship with the seller's agent despite these challenges and helping us keep perspective and sanity during the process. She even followed up on some of the paperwork which should have been the seller's responsibility in order to help keep things on track, all while advising us and helping us negotiate a -very- good price in a seller's market. Once we did close, she gave us recommendations for several reputable contractors to assist on the immediate improvements, and gave us advice to help jump-start our aspiring DIY tendencies. In brief, I am not sure we could have done this without her expertise, her calm presence, consideration and availability. It was a long process but we found a home within our budget that we love, and that we hope will offer us many years of comfort and security.

Marcia is a dream. She got to know me and my husband so well, which combined with her market knowledge and relationships gave us a leg up on getting into a prime neighborhood during a peak time. Marcia always answered our questions no matter how many or how basic, she listened and truly heard what we were looking for in a new home, and she guided us in our journey with grace and confidence. Marcia continues to be a resource and a friend, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent to partner with.

Caitlin is by far and away the best realtor my wife and I worked with in the process of finding our new home. We were looking to buy a house in the East Bay Area that fit the very narrow and specific criteria we had in mind, and after searching with numerous other local realtors for well over a years, with little to no results, we were ready to throw our hands up in resignation -- and then we were introduced to Caitlin. She invited us to her office, where we sat down over a cup of coffee and discussed in detail what we were looking for in a home. She then catered her search around these criteria and proceeded to show us houses that fit these set parameters . In just a few weeks, she showed us the house that we fell in love with, and she worked tirelessly with us to successfully purchase it for a great value in a highly competitive market. We love our new home, and we owe it all to Caitlin. We couldn't recommend her more!
