Candice and David couldn’t have made selling my family’s Berkeley home easier for me. I was navigating difficult family dynamics in a trust sale, and they guided me through every step with patience and care. They went the extra mile, not only finding excellent vendors but also meeting with prospective vendors on my behalf. Their knowledge of the Berkeley market was evident from the moment we hired them to the day we closed. Most importantly, they’re good people, which makes a huge difference during something as significant as selling a family home. I highly recommend Candice and David to anyone looking to sell their home.
Tiffany is basically your dream of a perfect real estate agent. She led us beautifully through the process, including in our case, a bunch of complications due to the need for structural repair. She handled everything with the managing agent, the current tenants -- EVERYTHING. and made us confident from Day 1 that she was handling things with thoughtfulness and aplomb. If everyone was as straight arrow as Tiffany the world would be a much better place.
Anja and her team were nothing short of amazing. We were no longer living in the area and they took control of painting, repairs, marketing, staging and selling all while keeping us thoughtfully informed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were so happy with them. They are thoughtful, experienced, and adept at managing our expectations while also orchestrating a complicated closing in 7 days.
Tomaj was a great help throughout the entire process beginning at our first phone conversation when he was trying to help my sister sell her house until 10 months later when the closing was complete. He was attentive, kind and concerned with our needs. He gave excellent advice and we accepted an excellent offer.
My sister-in-law recommended this team as they had helped her successfully sell her home in Berkeley. From the start everyone was smart, responsive, decisive and in top form. The process was expertly handled and I received a bid well above asking price and closed without a hitch. I also appreciated how they led me through the paperwork that at first seemed daunting and were understanding, patient and kind. Continued gratitude, appreciation and thanks!
We knew we were going to be selling our house years in advance so I had time to do a thorough search for the agent I thought would maximize our return. Anja Plowright and her team were at the top of our list! It turns out that they also made the process as easy as could be, an added benefit. Before we even officially put the house on the market, Anja contacted us and said she had a preemptive cash offer that was worth considering. The offer was within the range we were expecting plus it meant we could save money on sprucing up the house (floors, painting, etc.) and avoid staging costs. We decided to accept the offer and the process went quite smoothly. We’re very happy with Anja and her team’s services and are already recommending her to others! Highly recommend her!
Caitlin is highly engaged in the process and very available and responsive along the way. She was a real partner in the negotiations helping me think through what to offer and helped me get the house I wanted.
Jill Carrigan is simply fantastic. She brings together two crucial qualities that rarely exist at this level in the same person: an exceptional design sensibility and a remarkably savvy approach to pricing and marketing. Thanks to Jill's excellent eye for decor, color, architecture, and garden design, and she knew exactly how to bring out our property's best qualities in the most cost-effective ways. She understands that great presentation isn't simply about making a property look beautiful—it’s about creating a feeling and helping buyers immediately see the possibilities. We loved our house before, but after Jill's thoughtful and lovely upgrades, it absolutely shone. Just as impressive is Jill's strategic intelligence. Her pricing recommendations were smart and extremely well calibrated, and her marketing strategy was sophisticated, creative, and relentlessly focused on generating the right kind of attention. She understands the psychology of buyers and knows how to position a property so that it stands out in a crowded market. Jill is also a just pleasure to work with—warm, responsive, and genuinely invested in our home and our outcome. We could not have asked for a better advocate or a more talented person to represent our home! We feel extremely fortunate to have had Jill in our corner and recommend her without hesitation.
Anja and her team guided us through the sale of our home of 33 years in Berkeley CA and it was a great experience. Every angle was covered. From the estate sale to the remodeling of the kitchen to refinishing of the hardwood floors and updating the electrical,Team Plowright had a trusted professional to meet our needs! Communication is key to a successful sale and we felt listened to all along the way. You can’t go wrong with Anja and Team Plowright!
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.
