Martha skillfully guided us through the challenging real estate market in the East Bay for more than 6 months. We were new to this current Bay area real estate market and quite shocked by the pricing and bidding process. Martha’s advice was essential in guiding us to our new home. She listened to our reactions to various properties and pointed out strengths and weaknesses, such as foundation issues, house layout, and how it matched up (or not) with our wish list. She was always quick to respond to our questions, calls and requests for scheduling house viewings, and willing to write offers no matter the time of day or even on her vacation. She has the practical experience of remodeling her own home as well as preparing hundreds of homes for the market for her clients, which we found very valuable as we toured houses. Martha is a highly skilled agent and a wonderful person to work with. Her humor and good cheer brought a sense of fun to the search for our new home.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura. I was selling my uncle’s home from out of state, and Laura made what could have been a complicated and stressful process remarkably easy. She handled everything—from coordinating contractors, inspections, and appraisals to preparing the home for sale and organizing the open house and sales process. She kept me informed every step of the way and was always incredibly responsive, organized, and professional. Laura’s knowledge of the Berkeley market is exceptional. Her advice was spot-on, and the process unfolded almost exactly as she predicted. I had complete confidence in her judgment throughout the sale. My experience truly could not have been better. Laura exceeded every expectation, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home in the Berkeley area. Joe C

He is very personable both with the client and with others in the business he deals with. As a result he creates an immediate rapport with key players that smooth the entire process.

Dana Cohen and her team helped my family sell our house quickly, recommended improvements and helped us implement them at every stage of preparation, exhibited the utmost professionalism, honesty, and warmth while doing so, and made the experience as easy as possible for us. I am impressed with the hard work they all put in to save me from stress, anxiety, and detail work. I found Dana through the recommendation of a friend of a friend, and liked her so much 5 years ago when we bought that I made sure to seek her out again when we were ready to sell; we did not consider using anyone else to list our property, and we feel that was the right decision.

I felt very comfortable working with Theresa. She proved flexible in understanding my choice of condo and made it happen. Teresa first took me through information on the local market, pricing, etc. So when I looked at the condo I was able to understand where it fit in the local market. She was very thorough. I know she was in contact with the Seller’s agent to work out various issues that needed to be resolved before the sale could be completed. Teresa was very good about communicating with me either by phone or email so I had the information I needed to make my final decision. And now I enjoy living in a place that suits me and that was my top choice.

We had a very positive experience working with Laura. We were selling an older house in Berkeley that had lots of charm but also, being an older home, some challenges. Laura was able to enhance the charm but also identify the challenges and help us address them within our budget. Laura is very upbeat and energetic and is able to provide a steady hand during the sometimes up and down process of preparing a home for sale. Her knowledge of the Berkeley real estate market is impressive and gleaned from years of experience. In addition, her contacts in every area of home repair/painting/ inspection etc. allow her to arrange for necessary work to be completed in a timely and budget conscious manner. We would definitely use her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to prospective buyers or sellers!

Jill was an amazing agent for us! She is very warm and personable, which made a stressful process feel better every step of the way. We never felt pressured into going outside of our comfort zone, and she was very upfront and honest about which houses felt like the right houses to really go for. For the bidding process on the house we ended up purchasing, she established a line of communication with the selling agent, asking more about how she works and what kind of communication to expect once offers were submitted. We believe her proactive approach ultimately helped us to make the final offer on the house.
