Dave and Kris Arneson are the dream team....they really are! Let me just start by saying, we took years to find our house. We did not need to move and were not in any hurry, so we took our sweet time. Never once did we feel rushed, pressured or any other form of frustration from them during our search. Once we found the house we loved, Dave and Kris worked together to make it into the best possible experience. They were all hands on deck from start to finish. And there's a lot to do....the prep work of getting our house on the market, inspections and names/numbers of people who could beatify or fix anything, the strategy of pricing our house (yes there's strategy!) as well as the offer on the new house, the open houses complete with a taco truck to drum up interest, arranging visits to the new house, answering a billion questions and a barrage of requests, explaining paperwork and just overall being there for us to help and reassure us from start to finish. I think there might have even been some help moving furniture at one point! I know I missed many of the things they assisted us with, but you catch my point. They made a stressful event an excellent experience! Thanks Dave and Kris!!

As executor of my sister-in law’s estate, which included a house three hours away from where I lived, I was in need of a realtor who was experienced, competent, and flexible. The house had been neglected and was in deplorable condition needing much attention. Additionally, the house was occupied by a disabled tenant who made the house accessible to inspectors, appraisers, and potential customers on a limited and irregular basis requiring a great deal of ad hoc flexibility. Fortunately, I obtained a local referral to the excellent realtor team of Dave Arneson and his wife, Kris who took hold of this project with great zeal and creativity relieving me of most of the legwork required to get the house in a reasonable condition for sale. They wasted no time in bringing in local services to clear the overgrown front and rear yards, haul away accumulated junk and trash, make basic repairs, and make the house as presentable as possible for sale as a house with “potential”. To get the best price possible, they developed a methodology for getting the word out to potential investors and obtaining competitive bids which resulted in a more than fair price for the property. As a nice outcome to this process, the highest bidders turned out to be a couple who were willing to apply elbow grease to create the house of their dreams. Throughout the entire process, Dave and Kris exhibited a high degree of integrity, creativity, competency, and professionalism. In terms of customer support and satisfaction, they were amazing, achieving the highest levels. They also went well above and beyond the call of duty by assisting the disabled tenant in finding a new domicile. I owe much thanks to Dave ad Kris for doing such a wonderful job on this project and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the Bay Area.

Dave, Kris and team are amazing! We recently bought our dream home and sold the home we have been in for over 20 years. There were a lot of moving parts (pun intended) in making these two transactions happen seamlessly. I can not express strongly enough how valuable it was having Dave and Kris guide us through these transactions. There is no question that they exceeded our expectations and added value in terms of the price we received on the sale of our home and the advice throughout the process. If you need an experienced team to help you find or sell a home, look no further!

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.
Seller of 108 Bonita Avenue, Piedmont
Heidi was the first agent I reached out to sell my family home. She had sold a similar home to ours just one block away. After our initial phone conversation I knew I wanted to work with Heidi. She is extremely professional, personable, knowledgeable and has outstanding communication and follow-up skills. Throughout the process of preparing our home for sale, she was so supportive and offered assistance at every step of the way. She managed our expectations and was always available to provide advice. Without a doubt, Heidi was integral in helping us move out of the house which was a major process. She has outstanding resources to help make an overwhelming process much easier. We simply could not done it without her! We are so incredibly pleased with the new owners of our long-time (almost 70 years) home - a young family who will have the same experience of making Piedmont their home for many decades. My family could not have been more pleased with Heidi and all she did for us.
