Some agents are “sellers agents” and some are “buyers agents” but Ana and Team Forest are simply “the best agents”. Every single step of the way we felt like their only client and dearest friends. Our goals were their goals….and getting us exactly what we wanted was their only mission. After finding our forever house we needed to sell our home of 26 years. Faced with the prospect of moving out in the summer and spending time doing fix ups to wait for a less certain fall season was very stressful for me. Ana helped me understand the market and supported the plan for an “off market” sale. We developed an acceptable range for a sale price and my husband and I left for a week away. Ana scoured her Rolodex and sold our house in 5 days for a price well within our range. As if that wasn’t enough she was negotiating with the buyers and their agent until nearly 11 pm on a Friday night to be sure we had everything we needed spelled out in a clean offer. In this crazy Berkeley market I feel like we reinvented real estate! Now we can turn all of our attention to our next chapter. Thank you, Team Forest. New Years Day celebrations planned at a certain fully transformed Craftsman bungalow in Rockridge!
Buyer of 1385 Virginia Street, Berkeley
As first-time homebuyers, we are extremely happy that we worked with Team Forest. Not only are Ana and Pascal incredibly knowledgeable about the East Bay market, but they are also honest, thoughtful, and truly invested in their clients’ success. We always felt comfortable and fully informed in our decisions. We especially valued Pascal’s deep expertise in home construction & repairs. For each house we were interested in, he distilled hundreds of pages of inspection reports into what actually mattered and realistic cost estimates. As a couple working in tech, we used AI to help us digest those reports too, but Pascal’s realistic insights from years of experience always beat the AI responses. He also connected us to trustworthy local vendors later. Ana and Pascal’s approach was never about just “making the sale.” They genuinely wanted to educate us, even encouraging us not to bid if they felt we hadn’t seen enough options. They always highlighted the true condition of each house, set realistic expectations, and guided us through competition and negotiations in the intense market. Even after closing, Ana and Pascal have continued to support us. They celebrated milestones with us, recommended contractors and inspectors, and were always there to answer questions about post-purchase improvements. We are deeply grateful for their patience, integrity, and empathy throughout what could have been an overwhelming process. If you are looking for a real estate team that cares about people, advocates for you, and brings deep expertise, you cannot go wrong with Team Forest. We would absolutely work with them again.

We had a wonderful experience with our agent, Amber Crowley. We had a condo for our sons in Berkeley to sell after they graduated. It was a long distance sale for us and Amber went above and beyond! Amber took care of every detail. She staged the apartment with designer details. Amber scheduled repairs etc. She held open houses and sold our condo in two weeks time under not ideal market conditions. The buyers were a bit difficult and Amber was superb and patient negotiating the final details. I cannot say enough positive things about Amber Crowley. We have bought and sold numerous properties around the country and no agent has surpassed Amber Crowley.
