Buyer of 2592 Amethyst Drive, Santa Clara
I had a great experience working with Liya on the purchase of my home at Amethyst Drive. She was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. One thing that really stood out was her ability to give fair and realistic estimates for repair costs after inspections. She helped me understand which items truly mattered, what the likely repair prices would be, and how to prioritize them, which made decision-making much easier and more grounded. Liya also did an excellent job communicating and negotiating with the seller’s agent. She clearly advocated for me, used inspection findings and market context effectively, and helped ensure I got a fair price and a good deal overall. In the end, I bought the house with 300k lower than the market price. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind and knew when and how to push appropriately. From offer to closing, she managed details carefully, kept everything on track, and made the entire home-buying experience feel smooth and well-supported. I’m very happy with the outcome and grateful for her guidance. I would highly recommend Liya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, detail-oriented agent who truly knows how to protect her client’s interests.

Buyer of 225 Arlington Avenue, Kensington
Tracy is among the elite of local agents - deeply experienced and with a great sense of the strengths, weaknesses, and possibilities of individual properties. It took us about six months to find our home, and Tracy's patience and good humor never flagged. Buying or selling a home can be stressful, and we're happy our agent made the process so much easier.
Buyer of 840 Hilldale Avenue, Berkeley
Tracy was incredibly available, thorough, organized and incredibly knowledgeable. She guided through our very first bid (and purchase) and everything was so smooth. People describe buying their first home as a stressful experience but with Tracy it felt so easy and straightforward. She went through the disclosures with a fine toothed comb. We are so grateful to her
Seller of 642 Beloit Ave, Kensington
Tracy and her partner Linda were recommended to us by former neighbors who raved about their experience with Berkeley Hills and Tracy when they sold their house. They were so right. Tracy knows the market so well and she is a wonderful partner in the emotionally and physically difficult process involved in selling or buying a house. What I particularly loved is that Tracy and Linda work with an entire team of people who each have expertise in what is needed to get a house ready for sale. The team includes painters, floor experts, gardeners, stagers, etc. They manage everything so you don't have to worry and make decisions on hiring and supervising anything. They worked with the team members --all from the same very extended family -- for decades and things progress fast and without a hitch. Everything is done well. I also really like the way Tracy and Linda interact with their team members. And that is another thing I want to highlight. Tracy is a lovely person. She is fun and full of energy and she is kind and thoughtful. She also has excellent taste. She and her partner spent half a day going through our house deciding what kind of upgrades would be most strategic (and necessary). They then executed the plan with help from the team and it came out looking incredibly attractive. They really thought carefully about what investments we should make in the house prior to the sale, and I felt we got excellent advice. Tracy is super organized and everything is planned and priced and there are no surprises. I could not recommend Tracy higher and I just recommended her to one of my best friends.

Buyer of 2031 Los Angeles Avenue, Berkeley
Jack did a great job representing us throughout our lengthy Berkeley home search and all the way through this purchase. He is hard working, knowledgeable, responsive, a great communicator, and an all-around nice guy. He understands the local market and the quirky in's and out's of the housing stock here. We're lucky we worked with him.
Seller of 650 Marlesta Road, Pinole
This realtor established a concise plan that resulted in the house being optimally prepared for the sale. First, they identified what elements would be necessary to revise, in order to maximize the sales price. Next, they brought in skilled specialists to perform the necessary rehab work. Their stager was excellent and captured the personality of the house. Finally, they determined an ideal listing price, obtaining multiple bids and a final sales price that was 11% over the listing price. We could not have had a better outcome and highly recommend this realtor for a superior sales experience.
