Team Forrest: They were immediately responsive to my many questions and concerns. They gently guided me through the process of selling my house. The suggestions they offered were excellent and right on point. Pascal, especially, is a genius at what he does, has an excellent eye and is very artistic, all of which translates into a strong presentation for potential buyers. His assistance to me in selling my house was invaluable. He made a good, beautiful house even better and enticing. Ana was very knowledgeable about the legal requirements and regulations, in addition to having a strong pulse on the market. With her help, the necessary forms and processes were easy to navigate. She patiently explained any confusing and complicated things. The end result of my experience with Team Forrest exceeded my expectations. On top of it all, and perhaps most importantly, they were a pleasure to work with.

Ana Forest sold my mom’s house in Berkeley this year 2025. From start to finish she provided fantastic service and clear communication. She was very thorough and prompt and always did what she said she would. It made a stressful process much easier. She provided guidance every step of the way for the decisions needed throughout the process. I can’t recommend her & her team enough. Thank you.

As first-time homebuyers, we are extremely happy that we worked with Team Forest. Not only are Ana and Pascal incredibly knowledgeable about the East Bay market, but they are also honest, thoughtful, and truly invested in their clients’ success. We always felt comfortable and fully informed in our decisions. We especially valued Pascal’s deep expertise in home construction & repairs. For each house we were interested in, he distilled hundreds of pages of inspection reports into what actually mattered and realistic cost estimates. As a couple working in tech, we used AI to help us digest those reports too, but Pascal’s realistic insights from years of experience always beat the AI responses. He also connected us to trustworthy local vendors later. Ana and Pascal’s approach was never about just “making the sale.” They genuinely wanted to educate us, even encouraging us not to bid if they felt we hadn’t seen enough options. They always highlighted the true condition of each house, set realistic expectations, and guided us through competition and negotiations in the intense market. Even after closing, Ana and Pascal have continued to support us. They celebrated milestones with us, recommended contractors and inspectors, and were always there to answer questions about post-purchase improvements. We are deeply grateful for their patience, integrity, and empathy throughout what could have been an overwhelming process. If you are looking for a real estate team that cares about people, advocates for you, and brings deep expertise, you cannot go wrong with Team Forest. We would absolutely work with them again.

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.
1211 Bonita Ave Berkeley
We first worked with Tracy over 20 years ago, when she helped us buy our Berkeley home. When it came time to sell, there was never a question of turning to anyone else. Tracy combines deep knowledge of the Berkeley market and local laws with a strong grasp of national economic trends. Beyond her thorough real estate expertise though, what truly sets Tracy apart is her warmth and genuine care for her clients. She takes the time to listen deeply and understand her client’s circumstances and priorities. Most importantly, she is the most ethical professional we have ever worked with. Trusting Tracy is easy, right from the get go. Naturally, we’ve recommended her to friends every chance we’ve had, and every one of them has been just as thrilled with her. Tracy is a true treasure. We cannot imagine a better agent.

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.

Couldn't be happier with Mykah's hard work and excellent results on an unusual tough project. She handled all of the obstacles with warmth and empathy, and skillful aplomb. Nothing fazed her as she was willing and able to go above and beyond to make sure our efforts met with success. Thanks for everything, Mykah!

I actually enjoyed this stressful time trying to sell the house because Mykah made it that way. She listened to my concerns and acted on them. She was available to discuss things as they came up. I got a good price on the sale and it all went smoothly.

Mykah partnered with Tracy to help us with the listing and sale of my mother’s house in Berkeley. Mykah added tremendous value with design and creative ideas about how to market the house. She made valuable suggestions regarding upgrades that made the most financial sense and she kept the project on budget. She also added value in terms of helping with a pricing strategy that helped us receive multiple offers over asking price. She was a clear and responsive communicator throughout the sales process. I would highly recommend Mykah to anyone selling a house in or near Berkeley.
