I’m a senior citizen and Heather has helped me on a few transactions. I trust her immensely. Buying and selling is stressful. Heather calm demeanor and responsiveness is appreciated. She’s a great problem solver when and if glitches come up. Her strong integrity is what comes to mind when describing Heathers work ethic. Plus she is just a genuine and kind human being. She was incredibly easy to work with.

This is actually our 4th transaction with Heather. We were able to purchase this condo next door to mine for my senior mother to live in. My mom had to sell her previous residence of 40yrs (less valuable) and Heather represented her in the sale. Mom has now moved to a senior living residence and we just sold the condo (IN FOUR DAYS)! My observation in working with Heather is, she gives the same amount of attention, energy and effort whether it’s a massive Gold Coast Mansion or a smaller cozy Harbor Bay Isle Condo. That is meaningful to us as everyone’s assets vary but Heathers devotion to representing homes and her clients does not. She is who I recommend or refer when anyone’s asks if I know a good Realtor…. Actually, I know a great one!

We had an excellent experience working with Jeff during the purchase of our home in Alameda. From start to finish, he communicated clearly and consistently, always keeping us informed and making sure our best interests were represented throughout the process. Jeff's deep knowledge of Alameda was especially valuable. As a native of the town, he brought local insight that gave us confidence in both the property and the neighborhood. He was also instrumental in helping manage a more complex transaction involving our 1031 exchange, coordinating seamlessly with the appraiser, escrow team, inspectors, and other moving parts to help keep everything on track. Even beyond closing, his support has continued. He has connected us with trusted local contractors and service providers for sewer inspection and replacement, handyman work, and other unexpected items that came up during escrow and after taking ownership. Having access to fair pricing and reliable local referrals has been incredibly helpful. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Alameda. His professionalism, local expertise, strong communication, and continued support made a potentially stressful process much smoother.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeff to sell our family home of 50 years, and the experience could not have been better. From start to finish, Jeff handled every detail with the highest level of professionalism. He took the extra time to carefully explain each step of the process and walked us through all of the regulatory documents so that we always felt informed and comfortable. His patience, knowledge, and clear communication made what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless. Selling a home filled with so many memories was a big step for us, and Jeff’s thoughtful guidance truly made it a pleasant experience. We are grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I really can't say enough good things about Jeff Goodman and his team. Jeff is the consummate real estate professional. He is experienced, has a deep understanding of the constantly-changing real estate market, and he inspires confidence with sellers, like me, and clearly with buyers as well. He also has the extremely capable support of his team – I'm especially looking at you, Rebecca – so there is always a friendly, knowledgable someone to help you with any question or issue. Although my home was a modest one, Jeff and team put together all the resources to present it in the very best light -- from staging, to truly excellent photography, to window cleaning. They even included overhead (drone?) shots in the presentation package. Amazing! I owe special thanks to Jeff for sticking with me for about four years, throughout which I hemmed and hawed about selling my home. I think many agents would have stopped answering my telephone calls after a year or two. On top of that, my property was a co-op, which presents a multitude of unique challenges, all of which Jeff handled with skill and tact. He more than earned his very reasonable commission! Finally, I've come to realize that a real estate agent is part sales rep, part strategist, part advisor, and a little bit psychotherapist. At least in some situations, selling your home may bring up a host of different emotions, and it really helps to have an agent who understands that as well. Jeff is an all-around nice guy -- patient, even-tempered, and supportive, and he will keep you laughing through the inevitable ups and downs you'll encounter when selling your home. Whether your home is a high-end mansion or a humble condo, and whether it will be easy or hard to sell, you will be in great hands with Jeff and his team.

Sebastien is a phenomenal strategist and a savvy negotiator. In a market as competitive such as the Bay Area, you need someone who is fast and very well-connected. Sebastien managed to draft and submit my offer with speed, and his rapport with other listing agents gave me a distinct advantage. He provided precise input on strategic pricing and potential repair costs, which made me feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. Sebastien is truly a professional who clearly understands how to win in today’s real estate market.

Working with Sebastien was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He not only guided me expertly through the home-buying process but also showed an incredible knowledge of the local area - city of Alameda 94501 and 94502. He knew the neighborhoods inside and out—school districts, amenities, traffic patterns, future developments, and even subtle differences in community vibes—which helped me make an informed decision beyond just the house itself. His market research was thorough, giving me a clear picture of property values and trends, and his negotiation skills ensured I got the best possible deal. Throughout the process, he made everything smooth and stress-free. He took care of the negotiation part with the seller's agent, and patiently answering my questions and providing guidance every step of the way. Beyond the transaction, he offered valuable referrals and resources for moving in, from reliable contractors to service providers, which made settling into my new home seamless. We are greatful to have him from the beginning to the finish point. Having an agent who combines local expertise, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend Sebastien to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and approachable agent who truly looks out for their clients’ best interests.

Highly Recommended Expert in Alameda! Working with Sebastien was an outstanding experience. We chose to handle the initial home search ourselves, but his expertise and guidance in the critical stages were absolutely essential. Sebastien is a true partner and a total professional. He provided invaluable, precise input on strategic pricing and delivered accurate estimates for potential repair costs, which clarified the long-term value of every home we considered. He was always available and incredibly patient with our delays and doubts. Despite any hesitation on our side, he managed to draft and submit every offer extremely fast. Perhaps most importantly, he clearly and thoroughly explained every single detail and nuance of the documentation. His attention to detail is remarkable: he even discovered an error in the escrow paperwork that the officer had overlooked. We felt completely protected and informed throughout the entire process. If you want an agent who is responsive, patient, and brings a superior level of analytical expertise to your home purchase, we highly recommend Sebastien.

Richard was invaluable in leading me through what was and was not necessary to prepare my house for market. It was a usual piece of property and there was nothing to compare it to as far as comps. Prior to the property going on the market Richard obtained to bids, one of which I immediately accepted. The escrow closing went like clockwork.
