Andrea Barberi is truly exceptional. This was our second time working with Andrea — she sold our Berkeley home in 2022 — and there was never a question that we would work with her again when buying in the Berkeley Hills. Andrea guided and supported us through every step of the process, including navigating a challenging seller and a complicated, slow market. She was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly steady. She took us on multiple house tours so we could feel fully comfortable and confident in our decision, and she always kept us excited and positive about the home, even when the process got stressful. What makes Andrea so special is her combination of calm kindness and serious skill. She is mellow, warm, and easy to be around — but behind the scenes, she is absolutely a baller when it comes to defending and advocating for her clients. She stood up for us, helped us negotiate a great deal, and made sure we felt protected throughout the purchase. Buying with Andrea was every bit as excellent as selling with her. We are so grateful for her guidance, patience, and expertise, and we would recommend her without hesitation.

Caitlin was highly responsive, very professional, and took on our difficult-to-sell home with positivity. This helped the process tremendously.

Tiffany was an amazing realtor to work with. She somehow made the seemingly impossible task of buying a house feel easy --- and even enjoyable. We became friends quickly, and she was a pleasure to work with throughout. Tiffany knows the local housing market inside and out, and she was consistently transparent and communicative at every stage of the process.

We selected Anja and her team after interviewing several realtors. We were impressed by their market knowledge, professionalism, and clear track record. One member of the team took the lead in preparing the house for market. In our case that meant replacing knob & tube wiring and related patching, interior painting, several smaller preparation projects, and coordinating staging. Her knowledge of what needed to be done as well as local resources to do the work was excellent. She kept multiple projects on track to ensure that the house would be market ready. The team handled all aspects of marketing and open houses very well. There were many open house visitors and multiple information packages were distributed. We were fortunate to have an appropriate, clean offer with rapid close. The team communicated regularly throughout the process and responded rapidly when we had questions, issues, or concerns. We would highly recommend Anja and her team

After a long and impersonal search for the “perfect” house on Zillow, we met Nicole and immediately felt well taken care of. She showed us a terrific candidate property, we compared notes and features, really liked what we saw, and almost instantly, before the call to the broker the next day, found it sold! Undeterred, Nicole keep up the search for us. We lived half a state away, and so relied on her judgement sifting through the leads, several of which she visited before passing on them as not being “a good fit” to meet our needs. Her low key, but assiduous representation paid off when we we fell in love with “right” house. There her skills really paid off. It was a seller’s market, with the typical bids going well over asking, and the house had many suitors. Having a background in finance and contract management, Nicole was able to work with us on structuring a creative and attractive offer to the seller, but at the same time “keeping it real” for us novice buyers, Once in escrow, she followed up on our contingencies, and made sure that we had the opportunity to make a thorough and cool headed decision on the significant purchase. It became a huge and time consuming move for us, and Nicole has kept in touch and her eye on our progress. Now that we are settled into our wonderful home, we embrace Nicole as a friend and wish her the best for her new relationship with the Grubb Company.

Tracy was very helpful and did an amazing job. It isn't easy letting go of a family home and she was empathetic and professional and did a beautiful job of improving a home that needed a little help. Also when problems arose she was available and dealt with things with sensitivity. I highly recommend her.

Soren is a rising star and I would hire him again in a heartbeat – in fact I already have. He helped me with the sale of a house my family had owned for over 50 years. Soren spent six months meticulously preparing the property, marketing it to perfection, and patiently shepherding me and the buyers through a legally unusual closing process. The end result was more than 33% over asking, and better than I had hoped for.

Ana Forest and her whole team were exceptionally competent, thoughtful, and creative in selling my 1925 Storybook house in the Berkeley Hills. Their work made it a viral internet sensation (good thing) and meant it was exposed to the maximum number of buyers in an uncertain market. Their attention and good communication, and especially Ana's unflagging friendliness, gave everyone involved a great experience. Also the house went for nearly 60% over the asking price, with great buyers and the final sales process smooth and speedy.
