Emma was kind courteous and quite thoughtful in helping me find my new home. I highly recommend her to home buyers in the Bay Area.

Everything played out according to the plan, with a great outcome! She made it seem effortless with her many years of experience 😊

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura. I was selling my uncle’s home from out of state, and Laura made what could have been a complicated and stressful process remarkably easy. She handled everything—from coordinating contractors, inspections, and appraisals to preparing the home for sale and organizing the open house and sales process. She kept me informed every step of the way and was always incredibly responsive, organized, and professional. Laura’s knowledge of the Berkeley market is exceptional. Her advice was spot-on, and the process unfolded almost exactly as she predicted. I had complete confidence in her judgment throughout the sale. My experience truly could not have been better. Laura exceeded every expectation, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home in the Berkeley area. Joe C

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.

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

The Dad/Daughter Team took on a complicated trust sale that involved communication with attorneys, fiduciaries, inspectors and contractors. We live out of state. Bruce and Amanda handled the sale of the home without us ever having to make a trip to California! Their knowledge of the market was superb and their marketing strategies were creative and smart. You can put your trust in them with complete confidence!

Laura has an incredible grasp on the Berkeley Market. She also is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to identifying issues in disclosures as well as how to mitigate them. Even after closing Laura offers her time to assist with connecting us with reputable people in her network for any of our housing needs. I cannot recommend Laura enough!

Some agents are “sellers agents” and some are “buyers agents” but Ana and Team Forest are simply “the best agents”. Every single step of the way we felt like their only client and dearest friends. Our goals were their goals….and getting us exactly what we wanted was their only mission. After finding our forever house we needed to sell our home of 26 years. Faced with the prospect of moving out in the summer and spending time doing fix ups to wait for a less certain fall season was very stressful for me. Ana helped me understand the market and supported the plan for an “off market” sale. We developed an acceptable range for a sale price and my husband and I left for a week away. Ana scoured her Rolodex and sold our house in 5 days for a price well within our range. As if that wasn’t enough she was negotiating with the buyers and their agent until nearly 11 pm on a Friday night to be sure we had everything we needed spelled out in a clean offer. In this crazy Berkeley market I feel like we reinvented real estate! Now we can turn all of our attention to our next chapter. Thank you, Team Forest.

Emma helped us find our ideal home. We didn’t think we’d be able to find a home within our budget in the area that we did, but her keen eye and deep understanding of what we were looking for (and what we could love without) led to the one we eventually purchased. Emma went above and beyond to open the house for us a second time before putting in an offer, and being incredibly responsive. She has a knack for negotiating offers, and was able to get us a favorable price on our home. She continues to help us post close with recommendations for flooring specialists, locksmiths and more - everyone she’s recommended has also been great. We highly recommend Emma for your East Bay housing search!

Anja’s years of experience shows: she has many qualified vendors to make your home look great; she has tons of contacts and my home sold after receiving multiple offers. I trust her advice and appreciate her as a professional partner
