We recently worked with Lisa for the second time, this time to sell our home in Montclair. Once again, she delivered incredible results. From the beginning, Lisa took ownership of the entire process end to end. She coordinated inspections, repairs, cleaning, staging, photography, and all the countless details that come with preparing a home for sale. It made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and organized. One thing that stood out was how proactive and resourceful she was when unexpected issues came up. For example, after a particularly large storm, we discovered a minor roof issue 2 days before offers were due. Lisa jumped into action, getting multiple roofers out the very next day so we could quickly understand the problem and address it before offers were due. Her fast response helped reassure potential buyers and likely contributed to at least one additional offer. Lisa also did a remarkable job marketing our home. Through her network and outreach, our listing gained major attention online, including going viral on TikTok. As a result, our open houses were packed with 60+ groups each day. Despite a challenging market for sellers in Oakland right now, we received 8 offers and ultimately sold significantly above asking (and even above our own hopeful expectations). Throughout the process, Lisa was highly engaged and communicative, checking in frequently with updates. Most importantly, Lisa got results while making a stressful process quite simple for us. If you're looking for someone who knows the Montclair and Piedmont markets and will truly roll up their sleeves for you, we highly recommend working with her.

Jim kept us in the loop at every step of the process. He helped us find competent contractors to help us with estimates for the work and made certain we were aware of the specifics required to purchase a house in Oakland. He really went out of his way to accomodate us throughout. He was thorough, caring, knowledgeable and always pleasant. I highly recommend him and thoroughly trust his judgement and honesty. 10 out of 5 stars!!!

I had a great privilege of having Sebastian as my agent. From the start to the end he was very helpful. He took his time explaining everything. Sebastian was always available and responds to every call and text message. A super nice guy and would recommend him to anybody I know.

Sebastien was responsive to our needs and hyper communicative. Even on vacation he was reachable and plugged in. Sebastien was thorough. He showed up at every house we showed interest in and inspected it until he was satisfied that he'd be able to answer any questions we'd have and until he had every question of his addressed. Sebastien was also very knowledgeable. He asked the right questions to the sellers, dug into details about each property, and had deep market knowledge to integrate into our understanding about each property. Finally, Sebastien builds relationships. He connected with sellers' agents and built tremendous rapport with them each time we submitted an offer.

Kacey came to me as a referral from a friend and I'm very glad to have found her! I really appreciated her experience, her instincts, and very complementary vision for home improvements. She quickly picked up on what I was looking for and made quick and thorough reports on disclosure packets and neighborhood comps. Her communication was excellent and I really appreciated her guidance while navigating my first home buying experience.

Leonore Deaton was my agent when I sold my home of 32 years, and I didn't hesitate to choose her again to represent me in buying my next house. The search took a full year, but Leonore was incredibly patient, taking me to see many properties and keeping me updated with a curated database of homes. Throughout the process, she was always available and supportive. She was instrumental in helping me prioritize my needs and managing my expectations in a complex market. Her deep market knowledge and her friendly, professional rapport with other agents made a world of difference. Leonore is a highly skilled realtor with years of experience, and I recommend her without reservation."

Dana went the extra mile to get us the sale price we wanted. She was upfront about the small amount of investment to prep for sale and was a good assessor of the market.

Working with Jim to buy my home in Oakland was a fantastic experience. I was specifically looking for a fixer-upper, and I quickly realized that many agents don't have the technical eye needed for those types of properties. Jim, however, was an outlier. He knew exactly what to look for when evaluating the home's condition and provided invaluable insight during the walkthroughs. He also handled the extra layer of a probate sale smoothly, keeping the process moving and making sure every detail was covered. Most importantly, he is a sharp negotiator who secured a great price for me. I felt confident throughout the entire process knowing he had the expertise to handle a project house and a slightly more unique sale

Kacey is an absolutely lovely person who works tirelessly for her clients. She was the best guide we could hope for in our search for a new home in Oakland. We faced the significant challenge of buying in California for the first time and buying remotely, and she went above and beyond to help us face it. From connecting us with the right lender, the right inspectors and contractors, educating us on the ins and outs of buying and even searching in such a competitive market, and helping us strategize on how to make the best offer. Kacey was such a joy to work with - friendly, positive, patient, open - and we can't recommend her enough.

Cheryl Hata is an incredible realtor and an amazing human being. We feel very fortunate to have met and worked with Cheryl. She is an outstanding communicator and is seemingly always available to look at houses or answer any questions. We were most impressed with Cheryl’s service post-sale. Since we weren’t moving locally, she not only recommended contractors (HVAC/Flooring), she took it upon herself to meet them at the property to obtain quotes, in order for the project to be completed before move-in. There are many more examples of Cheryl’s dedication to her clients, but suffice it to say that we cannot recommend her more strongly and feel that we not only found a home, we found a friend.
