Tomaj is very personable and very effective agent. We have worked with him on 4 occasions over the years and this last time he did not disappoint. We would not hesitate to recommend Tomaj whether you are selling or buying in the Bay Area. He is very knowledgeable of the market and in our experience delivered consistent results whether we were buying or selling and under different market conditions. He was able to consistently deliver the results we needed and would not hesitate to work with him again.

We decided, late 2024, to put our Berkeley condo on the market. We know Donna from when she was at Apple with my spouse. From her excellent reputation at Apple, we felt sure she would take good care of us with our sale. Our only concern was whether Berkeley would be too far for her. She convinced us that she would be able to handle the sale as she has contacts in that area. She personally oversaw the whole process, including being there multiple times (for eg: painting & prep) despite the distance between her office and Berkeley. We discussed timing for putting the unit on the market and she 100% kept to the timeline, even though my spouse and I ended being overseas for about 2 months. The unit went on the market the first weekend in March and we closed escrow by the end of March. Smooth and easy and a little above what we were hoping for price-wise. Donna is the consummate professional - staying on top of things and keeping us informed all the way yet without overwhelming us with minutiae. She's warm and an amazing long-distance runner to boot. We could not recommend her any more highly.

Jill is an expert. She listened closely to what we wanted and helped us make great decisions to get the most of our home sale. She knew exactly when, how, and for how much to list our house in order to maximize our earnings. She patiently walked us through each step, answered our many questions, and treated us with respect and compassion. She earned our full confidence, respect, and appreciation.

Jill was fantastic to work with on every level. Her knowledge and insights were invaluable, and I truly can't think of a single recommendation she made that didn't work out exactly as planned! She was always cognizant of our budget and made really smart decisions about where it would have the greatest impact. Jill and her team did such a great job getting our house ready and staged it in an absolutely beautiful and tasteful way. Jill handled everything and made the whole process go super smoothly - and, in the end, she got us an incredible sale price that FAR exceeded our expectations! But beyond all of that, Jill is just such a warm and genuine person that it was a pleasure to go through the whole process with her. She was always there whenever we had questions or needed reassurance, and was so thoughtful and compassionate about what can be a stressful and emotional change for people. I truly can't imagine ever using another realtor :)

Jill was an amazing agent for us! She is very warm and personable, which made a stressful process feel better every step of the way. We never felt pressured into going outside of our comfort zone, and she was very upfront and honest about which houses felt like the right houses to really go for. For the bidding process on the house we ended up purchasing, she established a line of communication with the selling agent, asking more about how she works and what kind of communication to expect once offers were submitted. We believe her proactive approach ultimately helped us to make the final offer on the house.

The referral to Mr. Bernie and Ryerson came from a dear friend and they did not disappoint. Both listened to our concerns and fully understood our situation. All scheduling of inspections and staging went smoothly with great communication. The building sold above our expectations for which we are very grateful. Both Gary and Ken are a credit to their industry.
