Martha skillfully guided us through the challenging real estate market in the East Bay for more than 6 months. We were new to this current Bay area real estate market and quite shocked by the pricing and bidding process. Martha’s advice was essential in guiding us to our new home. She listened to our reactions to various properties and pointed out strengths and weaknesses, such as foundation issues, house layout, and how it matched up (or not) with our wish list. She was always quick to respond to our questions, calls and requests for scheduling house viewings, and willing to write offers no matter the time of day or even on her vacation. She has the practical experience of remodeling her own home as well as preparing hundreds of homes for the market for her clients, which we found very valuable as we toured houses. Martha is a highly skilled agent and a wonderful person to work with. Her humor and good cheer brought a sense of fun to the search for our new home.

When we started this process, we weren't just selling a house — we were letting go of a home my mom had owned for over 50 years. It needed real work to become what it could be, and honestly, we didn't know where to begin. Regina did. From our very first conversation, she walked us through what actually mattered: which updates would move the needle and which ones weren't worth our time or money. That kind of judgment only comes from real experience, and we trusted it completely. She brought in her own team of vendors, and their work was beautiful — the kind of craftsmanship that turned a dated, well-loved house into a stunning, contemporary home we were genuinely proud to show. Then came the pricing strategy, and this is where Regina truly separated herself. Her approach wasn't guesswork — it was strategic, confident, and it worked. We ended up with over 70 disclosure packages out and nine offers on the table. The results exceeded anything we expected going in. But what I'll remember most is that Regina didn't just manage a transaction — she guided us. From that first "maybe we should sell" conversation all the way through closing, she held our hands through every decision, every document, every question we didn't even know to ask. She made sure it was done right, not just done fast. If you want an agent who treats your home like it matters — because to her, it clearly does — Regina Jacobs is who you call. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

This was our third transaction with Tami, having previously sold a house and bought the property we just sold here. Her knowledge of the local housing market and guidance around how to navigate it have been invaluable for us as both buyers and sellers. She understands the current trends, but also has a depth of historical knowledge that she draws on to strategize the timing and investment considerations that matter most. She truly looks out for her clients' best interests and will tell you hard truths to put you in the best position possible. We trust her completely and have been totally rewarded for that trust.

Tami is exceptional. Not only is she a responsive, kind and engaged communicator who was always happy to pick up the phone to answer a question anytime we would call, she also knows everybody! She’s been doing this for 20 years, and every realtor we encountered had a good story to share about her. She connected us to the best inspectors, contractors, painters, stager, etc. to get our house sold extremely quickly (a week & a half!) for a price that far exceeded my expectation. Besides being a rockstar agent with incredible connections, savvy, and experience, Tami is just an amazing person. Grounded, kind, and with a great sense of humor, I feel happy to know her.

She is responsive, engaged and focused on selling your home. She is detail oriented and self motivated! She made an Excellent Partner in the sale of Our Home that did not sell for 90 Days under another brokerage firm and stale agent. Lisa came in, we made some needed and adjustments, and put the home right back onto the market just short of 30 days later, then within less than two weeks we had seven offers and sold our home 327Kk over asking! Her name is Lisa Chan...but my wife and I just call her...LISA CAN!!!

Patrick demonstrated in depth understanding of the market and the houses in the Oakland area. He is fast at responding messages/emails. He helped me scheduled inspections and followed up with quotes on fixes the house needs post closing. He went into the crawspace with me to understand any issues within the house and explained things to me clearly. It was a pleasure working with Patrick!

I was dreading making decisions and the whole process of selling a house but Kacey brought great ideas and positive energy that brought my stress level down tremendously. She’s well connected with contractors and made excellent recommendations on how to prepare the house — with clear timelines and budget estimates. Choosing Kacey was our one critical decision and I’d choose her again without any hesitation whatsoever.

Working with Patricia made buying a home a true delight. Starting with our very first meeting, when she asked us to describe the homes we’d grown up in, we knew we were in the hands of someone who had made an art form out of matching people with houses. Her skilled artistic eye and calm competence helped us at every step of the process, whether it was knowing just which homes to send us to look at or helping us close on the house we most loved. When looking at houses together, she listened so well to us that she often knew before we did whether we wanted to live in any given place - and then would gracefully bring this information to our attention in a way that was unfailingly helpful. Also, she is so good at explaining complicated systems that we never felt lost or confused as first-time home buyers - what might have felt overwhelming in other circumstances instead felt interesting and fun. We feel so grateful to have gone through this process with Patricia and can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s got a rare set of gifts that suit her wonderfully to this work.

I’ve known Jake for a few years now, and we’ve looked at several potential deals together along the way. Even though some of those opportunities didn’t work out, Jake always stayed in touch, kept bringing me deals, and never stopped looking for ways for us to work together. We finally got our first deal done together, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Jake was responsive, professional, easy to work with, and helped keep everything moving smoothly throughout the transaction. As a real estate investor, I really value agents who understand that not every property is going to be the right deal and who are willing to build a relationship for the long term. Jake is definitely one of those agents. I’m glad we finally got one across the finish line, and I’m looking forward to doing many more deals together in the future.

NANCY and Jack were compassionate, well informed, creative, experienced communicators. They were supportive, creative, and responsive to my requests and needs. They made the experience as easy as possible; and my home sold for top dollar in @15 days.
