Alexis Thompson
Avg. sale price
Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Seller of 1064 Monterey Ave, Berkeley
Alexis is a fantastic agent! I can't say enough good things about her. We worked with her to sell our North Berkeley home this summer and were incredibly impressed with her from start to finish. Her recommendations were soundly grounded in market research, she had a deep knowledge of our area and her attention to detail throughout the process was impressive. What I also love about her is she really "hustles". She is not an agent who sits back and waits for things to happen - she MAKES them happen. I felt like she worked really, really hard for us in so many areas and was a true partner in the selling experience. Lastly, I really appreciated that Alexis supported us on a very human level during the emotional experience of selling our beloved home and moving across the world. If I could beam her with us to handle our real estate transactions here in Europe, I 100% would! She's the absolute best!


Faye Keogh
Avg. sale price
Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Seller of 830 Alvarado Road, Oakland
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.
Seller of 904 Alvarado Rd, Oakland
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.


Marianne Scott
Avg. sale price
Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Buyer of 716 Coventry Road, Kensington
We worked with Marianne and Lindsay about a year ago when we moved to California and started our search for a single-family home. Buying a home in the Bay Area can be daunting, but they supported us from start to finish. As a mother-daughter team, they offered a great combination of market knowledge, consistent communication, and realistic feedback on our expectations. We actually interviewed with three different agents before deciding to work with them based on their experience. Being new to the area, it was also super helpful that they introduced us to a great general contractor whom we have been working closely with for the past several months.
Buyer of 1609 Visalia Avenue, Berkeley
We recommend Marianne for anyone looking for a home in the Bay Area. As first time home buyers she helped us and guided us through the process. She is deeply familiar with the neighborhoods, a strong sense of the market and very attuned to what you need. She helps our family find the perfect house in the location that we had not considered, and helped us close very quickly.

VALERIE RUMA
Avg. sale price
Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Seller of 304/695 Mariposa Avenue, Oakland
Valerie helped me sell my condo during the pandemic. I have no hesitations to recommend her. She is professional & efficient. Valerie kept me informed every step of the way and over saw projects that I was unable to see. My unit sold quickly and over asking price. She gives sound guidance and is honest. I consider her a trusted friend and part of our family.
