Seller of 5468 Proctor Avenue, Oakland
Simply put, Heidi is a phenomenal real estate agent with an almost uncanny sense of the market and a wealth of experience in Upper Rockridge. Selling a home lived in for over 30 years is complicated. Emotions permeate everything. Heidi managed the process with depth, intelligence, and poise. She outlined a robust plan, provided crews to touch up cosmetics where needed, and kept to a rational timetable that optimized for best sales outcomes. She did this all while communicating every step along the way and maintaining complete transparency. Ultimately the property was on the market only briefly, the sale price far exceeded the listing price, and a wonderful young family purchased a home that they can grow into for years to come. It was the best of all possible scenarios for all concerned.

She is incredibly passionate about her role in real estate in general and my recent transaction in selling my house. I would recommend her to anyone about to sell or buy a new property.

We can't say enough good things about Jess and her teammate Lisa. We were searching for a home for our small and growing family in the Lafayette area, and actually met Jess by chance at a local restaurant, from that first conversation it was clear how well she knows the local market. As a fellow parent raising kids in the area, she genuinely understood what we were looking for in a home and a neighborhood, and that made all the difference throughout our search. Lisa was a great help along the way as well. We'd highly recommend Jess and her team to any family searching in Lafayette.
Buyer of 27 Whitehall Dr, Orinda
We had a great experience working with Jess and Lisa to buy our home. They were incredibly responsive throughout the entire process and always made us feel like a priority, even when we had lots of questions or needed quick guidance. What really stood out was how well they know the area. Their local expertise helped us evaluate neighborhoods, understand pricing, and feel confident in our decisions. They were also very proactive, staying on top of every detail and helping us navigate challenges. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but they made the process feel much more manageable. We're so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Lamorinda area.
Buyer of 14 Leeds Ct E, Danville
Jess and Lisa were fantastic partners for us as we searched for our first home. As newcomers to the area, we relied on the expertise about not just each city/town, but detailed knowledge and perspective on each of the neighborhoods we were contemplating. As first time home buyers, Jess and Lisa were patient and extremely helpful in walking us through disclosures and open houses – what we should be aware of and avoid, and what wasn’t a big deal. We were particularly picky with what we were looking for and Jess and Lisa not only were patient with us in a unique market period, but also fully understood what we wanted and not – sometimes better than ourselves – helping the process be that much more efficient and productive. Thanks to them, we were able to find our dream home in the neighborhood we wanted and exactly as we were looking for. They also helped guide us with when to lean in more and when not, which was critical for our successful negotiation for our home. In addition to all of the above, Lisa and Jess are just wonderful people who made what could be a stressful process, enjoyable, fun and without pressure. We are very thankful to them for everything! Although we’re not planning to move anytime soon, when the day comes, we will be happy to call them back! You can’t do any better than to call Jess and Lisa!

Julie, did a wonderful job from beginning to end. Julie, was helpful at every stage of the transaction. From even before we hired Julie. She was helpful in evaluating our property, significantly helping prep the property for sale by identifying and contacting multiple service providers, staging the property and agressively marketing the property. Once bids came in, she was thoughtful in terms of comparing the bids. Overall, she did a great job.

Seller of 4401 Harbord Dr, Oakland
Selling my home at 4401 Harbord Drive in Oakland could have been stressful, especially in a softer market—but Sami made it an incredibly smooth and positive experience. From the moment we met, he impressed me with his calm confidence, deep experience in the Rockridge market, and thoughtful approach to strategy and pricing. He truly knows this neighborhood—what buyers respond to, how to position a home, and how to price it just right to attract interest without leaving money on the table. Sami took care of absolutely everything—coordinating inspections, guiding the prep and staging process, managing contractors, and handling countless small details I didn’t even have to think about. He kept me informed every step of the way and was always patient, responsive, and honest in his advice. I never once felt rushed or left in the dark. What really stood out was how much he cared—not just about closing a deal, but about doing things right and making sure I felt confident and supported throughout. Thanks to his thoughtful planning, market savvy, and meticulous follow-through, my home sold quickly and at a great price despite the softer market. If you’re selling in Rockridge (or anywhere nearby), I can’t recommend Sami highly enough. He’s smart, steady, and genuinely invested in his clients’ success—a true professional and a pleasure to work with.
