Working with Anja Plowright and Rena Meyer of The Grubb Company to sell our home was a fantastic experience. We would describe it as a straightforward, no-nonsense, and highly professional experience from start to finish. From our initial meeting, their market knowledge and strategic approach were clear. They provided practical, data-driven guidance on pricing, timing, and property preparation, helping us showcase our home beautifully. What truly set them apart is how active they are in the market —which translates into direct access and real-time knowledge about current demand, what's moving, what's not, and why. While we considered teams who handle fewer listings so they can focus exclusively on our home, we ultimately chose Anja and Rena for their sheer breadth of market activity, which gave us the deepest pulse on buyer demand. That turned out to be 100% the right decision given the unique nature of our property. Added to that was the incredible crew of specialists they brought in for sale prep. Laura from Minimal in Design handled the staging and is an absolute pro. Franklin took care of the trees. Christian and Javier managed the general contractor and handyman work. Francisco handled landscape prep. Marcus delivered beautiful photography and videography. Combined with their very capable internal team at Grubb, every logistical detail was seamlessly executed. Throughout the process, Anja and Rena were communicative, organized, and proactive. They managed the entire process efficiently, and their market positioning and negotiation skills ultimately delivered the best possible outcome: successfully selling our house right near the high-water mark we had set. We not only recommend them highly but would work with them again in a heartbeat. Brij & Renuka

Regina was an incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable and thorough agent in the process of selling our home. Our meetings prior to selling the home were efficient and organized. Her teams suggestions on updates or changes to make to the house to prepare it for sale were not pushed onto us but instead shared and we were given the opportunity to discuss potential impact and make a decision. We moved across the country prior to our house hitting the market. Regina served as our eyes and ears throughout the whole process and kept us updated which really helped to calm our stress about being so far away during the preparations and the sales. She is very responsive and often answered calls or texts almost immediately. She is very knowledgeable about the market and advised us using that knowledge which was spot on. She is incredibly professional and has a great group of people on her team. If we had to do this again in Oakland, she would definitely be our first choice for a realtor.

As first time home-buyers in the Bay Area, we were nervous to navigate the process but working with Jennifer made it feel manageable. Within three weeks of starting our search, Jennifer found us a home that had the yard and workshop space we wanted and helped us draft an offer we were comfortable with to beat out several competing offers. She continued to provide support after our offer was accepted, recommending and meeting several contractors with us before closing so we could hit the ground running as soon as we got the keys.

She was great all around!

I met Kacey at one of her open houses and immediately liked her. She has a refreshingly no-nonsense approach. Even though I know how busy she is, she never once made me feel like a burden. She responds quickly to texts and emails. I felt like we were giving her a near-impossible task: find a home two opposites actually loved, within our budget, on an express timeline. Yet, Kacey never seemed overwhelmed or concerned. She maintained complete confidence that we would not only find a home, but get one we would be genuinely excited about. Throughout the search, she never pressured us into submitting offers. Her main priority was always working within our comfort zone. And she was right! We found our house, she helped us craft a competitive offer, and we closed ahead of our initial deadline. I feel truly lucky to have worked with Kacey. It’s rare to find an agent who will guide you through a walk-in crawl space to explain potential foundation issues, and then turn right around to help you brainstorm a bathroom redesign. Her range of knowledge is extensive. I would highly recommend Kacey to any friend or colleague looking to purchase or sale in the Bay Area.

I am appreciative of Regina's time and input on her walk through and the documents for my property sale. I felt like she really added value to the property with the suggestions and changes the mat were made, and I was happy that it led to a fairly quick sale in this market!

Nicole was great to work with. I would use her again if I need to.

We were selling an Oakland home while being in Illinois. Heidi and her team took things over from square one and didn’t miss a beat all the way thru closing!! She handled the clean-up and facelift projects and then made the staging look fantastic!! Great communication the entire time over 2-3 months and then after 2 weekends of open house time……8 offers, ALL over asking price!! The offer we took was more than Double the asking price…..incredible experience throughout the entire process and handling it while out of state made it so much easier on our family. Can’t say enough or thank you enough……but Heidi and her team are who you want listing/selling your home!! Thanks Heidi

After working with Lisa to buy a new home, we were sure we wanted to work with her again to sell our old one. Lisa orchestrated everything we needed to get our house ready to sell, including painting, handyman, landscape work, staging, inspections, and more. It was great to be able to count on Lisa's deep address book of trusted partners, built from years of experience. Our listing got lots of attention, both on social media and at the open houses that Lisa ran personally. This helped us attract plenty of bids and a quick close. We strongly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to sell a home in Oakland or Piedmont

Sheila and Tiffany were involved with our project from the beginning. They went through our house several months before we went on the market, giving us time for minor fixes before we brought in the heavy hitters. Their suggested trades people were all great, and as a result we were ready to go on market just a couple ofweeks after we moved out. We weren't sure about pricing but they were right. In less than 2 weeks we spent a couple of hours with them going over offers and negotiating with buyers. In the end we accepted a very nice offer. Easy to work with, they always kept us in the loop.
