Working with Naushaba Rahman to sell my property in the Eden Shores community of Hayward was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Selling a home while living out of state can be a daunting prospect, but Naushaba made the entire process completely seamless and stress-free. Even in a challenging and not-so-great market, Naushaba secured a phenomenal price for the property—so much so that she now holds the record for the highest sale value in the Eden Shores community ever. Her deep local expertise, pricing strategy, and market intuition are truly unmatched. What truly sets Naushaba apart is her incredible hands-on project management and dedication. Because I was out of state, she took absolute ownership of every single detail. She coordinated directly with my rental management company to pick up keys, hired and supervised top-notch contractors for necessary upgrades and renovations, managed all showings, and handled every question from prospective buyers and myself with lightning-fast responsiveness. She kept everything impeccably organized and got the listing on the market in a remarkably short span of time—hitting my exact target launch date down to the day. Furthermore, Naushaba has built an elite ecosystem of trusted local vendors for everything from interior repairs and gardening to carpeting and general remodeling. By tapping into her network, we were able to get all improvement projects moving instantly while keeping costs significantly lower than what other market vendors were quoting. Naushaba delivers elite results, unmatched communication, and total peace of mind. I give her my highest possible recommendation and would gladly work with her again for any future real estate needs in the area. Kudos to Naushaba for setting the gold standard in real estate!

My husband and I had been searching for our home for approximately a year, and working with Julia was an excellent experience. Throughout the process, she was professional, patient, and highly communicative. She took the time to educate us, explain each step, and answer the many questions we had, always making herself available to provide guidance and support.What we appreciated most was that she never made us feel pressured to make a decision. She respected our timeline, provided clear information, and made us feel comfortable and confident throughout such an important process.We truly appreciate Julia’s dedication, knowledge, and commitment to helping us find the right home. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and trustworthy real estate professional.Thank you so much Julie!
Ronnie is a real go getter. She knows her craft and is very professional. A very good experience altogether.
Thank you To Cristina Bales,Les Fohl and associates. Excellent service throughout the entire process. Preparation, open house with multiple offers and quick sale. We highly recommend Fohl and associates for all real estate needs.l
Selling a home can be stressful, but their deep knowledge of the local market and strategic approach made the entire process smooth and virtually stress-free. What really stood out was their exceptional communication and responsiveness. They always kept me in the loop, answered my endless questions, and were proactive in guiding me through every single step of the closing.
Les, Cristina, and the Fohl Realty Team an all star team. They guided us through the entire process and helped us secure the best possible deal. They fought tooth and nail for us down to the last minute. They are very organized and they have solid plan on getting our house sold. They offered great advice during the whole process but ultimately left the decisions up to us. I would 100% recommend them and definitely use them again. It was a pleasure working with them!
Selling our home was entirely stress-free thanks to Sandra. All we had to do was move out, and she completely took over from there. She expertly coordinated repairs, handled the staging, managed the cleaning, and got the house onto the market flawlessly. Once the offers rolled in, she skillfully negotiated with the buyers while we didn’t have to lift a finger. If you want a dedicated agent who truly cares and manages every single detail for you, hire Sandra.

Jeff was very competent and thorough. He communicated with me throughout the entire process. Although progress was slow, due entirely to me and the emotion of selling my childhood home after my mother’s passing, he was patient and kind. He was helpful in recommending resources for removal of household items, cleaning, etc. He also did not try to upsell services. Originally, we thought staging would be beneficial, but when it came time to put the home on the market, staging was not needed and he recommended against it. He was correct. We appreciated his professionalism and integrity. The entire process was seamless. I highly recommend Jeff and Compass and would definitely use his services again. You will be happy dealing with him!

Vanessa helped me purchase a place in the Bay Area. I was on a time crunch and was outside of the State at the time e, so I was not able to see places in person. Vanessa sent super helpful videos and honest assessments of places. When things started to go sideways en route to closing, she reassured me and held firm with the seller’s agent. And she has so many connections from loan officers to contractors.
Selling a home, particularly a home one has lived in for over 35 years, as in our case, is a daunting task. Fortunately, we had Allison Costelow to advise us and handle the complex organization of inspections, prep work, listing and the final showing, all at own pace. It was certainly a learning experience, yet Allison was always available to answer our questions. Preparing our home and the surprisingly rapid sale would not have been possible without her professional, experienced and friendly guidance.
