Marcia is a caring, efficient and highly capable agent. She made the best decisions for our home while also taking care to consult with us about what we wanted. I recommend her without reservation.

He was very helpful throughout the process of buying our first home and instrumental in negotiations. We couldn't have done it without him. I am so excited about our new home.

We were first-time buyers on a property that came with some real complexity, and Sebastien was key to making it all work. He handled everything with confidence and calm, knew what mattered, knew what didn't, and never made us feel like we were in over our heads. When we came up against multiple offers and weren't sure we'd come out on top, his strategic approach to the terms — not just the price — ended up making the difference. His charm and ability to put everyone at ease went a long way too. Throughout the whole process he was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely available whenever we needed him, which as first-time buyers was often. He was the steady hand that kept everything moving. We trusted his read on the market, we trusted his instincts, and he delivered. Would absolutely work with Sebastien again.

We had an outstanding experience working with Anja Plowright and her team. From start to finish, Anja was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to every detail. She guided us through the entire process with clarity and confidence, always making sure nothing was overlooked. Her dedication and expertise truly stood out — she handled everything seamlessly and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. Most importantly, she delivered exceptional results, selling our home in a timely manner and at an excellent price. We are deeply grateful for her support and would highly recommend Anja and her team to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional.

Faye first found us a house in 1991 — it hadn’t even gone on the market yet but she knew it was just what we were looking for, and she made it happen. Fast forward 35 years and she just helped us quickly and efficiently sell our most recent house in the hills. The real estate business has evolved dramatically over those 35 years — it’s more complicated and requires attention to the most minute details — but Faye hasn’t missed a beat. She’s totally on top of all the issues and makes things as clean and easy as possible for her clients. Through it all she’s cheerful, upbeat and always available. Whenever we’re asked to recommend an agent, we don’t hesitate — it’s always Faye Keogh. Setting aside the real estate aspect, Faye’s also just been a good friend over those 35 years. She’s the best.

Working with Jennifer Jones was exceptional from start to finish. She originally helped me purchase my condo in Berkeley and later guided me through selling it—both experiences were seamless and thoughtfully handled. What sets Jennifer apart is her ability to strike the perfect balance between expertise and respect for her client. She consistently provided clear, insightful guidance to help me make the best decisions, while also honoring my perspective and comfort level. When I hadn’t considered a particular angle, she offered valuable feedback without ever being pushy. Since I was selling from afar, Jennifer’s hands-on approach made all the difference. She took initiative in coordinating staging and repairs locally, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Jennifer is incredibly accessible, responsive, and proactive, while also demonstrating strong leadership throughout the process. I always felt supported, well-informed, and confident in every step. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer Jones to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I look forward to working with her over the years to come.

Forget about “Better Call Saul” ‘cause you “Better Call Faye” as she is the absolute BEST in real estate. My husband and I both highly recommend her as we bought and sold our house with her! In 2013, we moved from Boston to Berkeley and we needed to find a house for our growing family. We were extremely fortunate to find Faye Keogh at The Grubb Company who became our realtor! It seems like such a cliche, but she actually listened to us and only took us to houses that had true potential for our family. I remember walking into this beautiful Mediterranean house that she found and instantly thinking, “This is it!” We made so many beautiful and wonderful memories there as a family and with our friends. Twelve years later in 2025, with our kids in college and officially empty-nesters, we decided to downsize and put the house on the market. We went straight back to Faye! She returned and walked us through the entire selling process, keeping a keen, trained, and experienced eye on the current housing market, offered helpful suggestions for refreshing the house (We did live in it for 12 years with 2 busy kids!), organized effective Open Houses, and she hired the most amazing photographer, landscapers, house cleaners, and other professionals to showcase the house to its fullest potential. She is a true and seasoned professional, organized, kind, knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and always very generous with her time, energy, and spirit. We really appreciated this! Plus, she knows the Berkeley area like the back of her hand! It was pure pleasure to work with her because buying and selling your most precious possession should be easy, drama- free, and dare I even say it…enjoyable and fun too. We truly had an amazing experience working with Faye!

Faye is a pleasure to communicate and work with, knows the area and the market, and helped us conclude the sale of our home. She is also highly respected.

I chose to work with Faye Keogh on the sale of my 1908 3-story craftsman style home in the Claremont neighborhood (El Camino Real) because of her long and successful history of working with this area. Faye was able to give me a good sense of recent changes in the local market and what to expect from potential buyers today. We began discussions about a year before I was fully committed to getting the house on the market, and during that time Faye was responsive without any pressure. She was very good about getting me going on disclosures and making decisions about necessary work vs. later staging options. In the end I was fortunate to find an off-market buyer through Faye, saving me a lot of time and trouble that a full staging would have entailed. Recommendations for contractors and other services were very helpful. Because I was trying to make an offer on a new home at the same time as the off-market sale of my Berkeley home –fairly suddenly– materialized, we had some bumpy moments in coordinating the two closings, but it the end all worked out well, and above all I was able to get the exact asking price I'd originally suggested, without all the repairs and staging expenses I'd at first envisioned.

Lisa is a gem of an agent who truly puts in her all for her clients. As first-time homebuyers we really depended on Lisa to educate us through every step of the homebuying process and appreciated her clear communication and deep knowledge of all things Bay Area real estate. Her insights on the market dynamics around the East Bay were invaluable in helping us quickly hone in on the types of houses and neighborhoods that would be a good fit for us. Her enthusiastic and caring attitude make her a pleasure to work with and we immediately felt like we were in good hands in this hyper-competitive market. When it came time to put in offers Lisa was a superstar whose speed, responsiveness and thoroughness were key to helping us land a house we love. She was happy to arrange showings for us at a moments notice, walk us through pages of disclosures, and guide us in writing a very competitive and comprehensive offer. What stood out the most about Lisa throughout the process was her professionalism and hard-work. When we first were interviewing agents Lisa talked about how she does 'everything possible' to help her clients get the house and she really delivered - proactively learning what the sellers were looking for, crafting an offer that met their needs, and keeping in constant communication throughout. The closing process also went super smoothly thanks to her guidance and proactiveness at every step. We were thrilled to get the first offer we made accepted on a great home in our dream location and truly could not have done it without Lisa.
