We were selling an Oakland home while being in Illinois. Heidi and her team took things over from square one and didn’t miss a beat all the way thru closing!! She handled the clean-up and facelift projects and then made the staging look fantastic!! Great communication the entire time over 2-3 months and then after 2 weekends of open house time……8 offers, ALL over asking price!! The offer we took was more than Double the asking price…..incredible experience throughout the entire process and handling it while out of state made it so much easier on our family. Can’t say enough or thank you enough……but Heidi and her team are who you want listing/selling your home!! Thanks Heidi

Leonore was extremely skilled and knowledgeable as a realtor but especially for the Rockridge market. Her knowledge, communication and negotiation skills, made our experience both enjoyable and very successful. Leonore was also a joy to work with. She has a great sense of humor. She was both direct and sensitive to our feelings about prepping the home ahead of listing. Her knowledge about the Rockridge market was spot on!

We had a great experience working with Kacey; she made the whole process feel stress free and smooth as she was so prepared and knowledgeable. As first time buyers we really didn't know what we were doing but she walked us through every step and there were no surprises. She was incredibly patient, responsive and friendly; we felt like she really cared about finding the right home for our family. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

Couldn’t recommend Caitlin more highly. She is deeply knowledgeable about all things east bay and Bay Area real estate, and also was so deft at handling our many questions and leading us through an emotional process. She is a joy to work with, and an expert too!

We were so happy with the work that Jake Adams did for us to find us the home of our dreams in Rockridge! Having lived in both the East Bay and the City- his knowledge is vast and he understands the market on a street-by-street basis. He is well-versed on commute times, traffic patterns, schools and local amenities and has the insider knowledge of great restaurants and hidden gems that only someone who has actually lived here would possess. If you are moving here for the first time, this is the agent you want by your side in this process. He is as thoughtful and conscientious as he is knowledgable. When we were looking for the right spot in the East Bay, we really took our time to narrow down which areas would suit our family best. He was able to listen to both my husband's and my requests of locale and bring us to many options through the process, he remained extremely patient through the process of viewing many homes. Furthermore, he kept us realistic and grounded through a process that is easy to get carried away with emotionally. He was the thoughtful mediator and guide- never telling us what he thought we wanted to hear, overselling or making false promises. On the Memorial Day Long weekend, Jake was working for us when we least expected it. He found out our dream home (that we had written off entirely as a possibility) had no offers after an initial open house. He urged us to act fast. He guided us and proved a shrewd negotiator- even the sellers agent congratulated him on the tactic's success. We couldn't have done it without his diligence and skill. After we closed, Jake was able to provide us with many local contractors, all who came promptly and did terrific work. He has a guy for everything including roofers, landscaping, and general contractors. Additionally, he was a great liaison of closing procedures between the sellers and us. In a process that requires hard decision making: choosing Jake to be our agent was not one of them.

Regina was a true pleasure to work with. She was proactive, strategic, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, and she delivered on every promise she made. Her keen eye for design and attention to detail were invaluable, helping me make informed decisions with confidence. I highly recommend Regina to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated realtor.

Ronnie is simply the best highly recommend her to anyone looking for a competent, professional and honest Realtor.

Ronnie was very helpful in negotiating an acquisition and working with us to identify additional properties.

Lisa helped me sell my home in the Oakland Hills, and after working with her to find my current home, I knew she was the right person to help me through the selling process as well. She made everything feel easy from start to finish. Selling a home I loved and had a hard time letting go of wasn't easy, but Lisa helped me find the right buyer and made the entire experience much less stressful. I really appreciated her attention to detail, her ability to keep me on track, and how she stepped in to handle tasks I simply wasn't able to manage myself. I was especially impressed by the amount of work she put into marketing and showing my home. She truly went above and beyond to make sure it received the attention it deserved. Everything was handled so seamlessly, and I always felt confident that my home was in great hands. Thank you, Lisa, for helping me once again. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Ana and Team Forest have been the best part of what could be a really demoralizing real estate market. I know conventional wisdom says to interview several agents…we wandered into Ana’s office wanting to write a same day offer on a house we’d just seen. From the minute we stumbled into the office saying we had a “real estate emergency”, Ana and her team took such amazing care of us. We spent well over an hour together that impromptu day and we have never considered another agent for buying or selling. Ana and her team recently guided us through the purchase process for our forever home and helped us sell our home off market, going from obtaining disclosures to presenting an offer in less than a week, all while we were on vacation. Going above and beyond is just standard procedure for them from Pascal reviewing everything that might be problematic at a house, ensuring that you think with your head and not just your heart, to helping us get rid of the things we no longer need. The team has seemingly endless resources for everything you might need, saving time and money. I used to think being a real estate agent would be an easy and lucrative gig that anyone could do….whoo boy was I wrong about that! This team earned every penny and proved that an exceptional agent works 24/7. Ana reviewed the final offer with us after 10 on a Friday night and she did it in amazing good humor. Couldn’t have done it without Team Forest!
