Teresa was my realtor for my first home purchase. She worked with me for over 5 months to navigate the complexities of first-time homebuying while the market was going through some big swings. We toured a lot of places together during this time until I found the perfect one. I also appreciate her for recommending an excellent loan advisor and making the process seamless. I learned a lot from her and won’t forget that she sat through hours of disclosures with me to make sure the house I bought was the right fit. I don’t expect many realtors to help their clients with the commitment and can do attitude that Teresa has. She was great at setting expectations for buying in the East Bay and crafting a winning strategy. I am very grateful that Teresa was on my team.
Unhei was very knowledgeable about the local market and gave great advice to this first time homebuyer
Annie was dedicated to helping me sell my house. She made me aware of the solvable faults in my house and how to correct them for the best sales result. She arranged for a wonderful stager and a contractor to present the house in the best light. She arranged for inspections and kept me unto date on all the paper work etc Annie helped us buy the house in 2005 and I could not have asked for a better person to help me sell the house in 2026.
Leonore really helped us figure out the particularities of Oakland market and helped us navigate the home buying process as a first time home buyer. We had a quick process but she made herself very available from beginning to end! She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her!
Patrick used every bit of knowledge and skill to make sure our offer was the most attractive and assure we would get the house of our dreams. He was able to navigate our sometimes opposing needs in a professional manner and I would absolutely recommend him.
Shelly is in a class of her own. She works tirelessly. Shelly brought our offer to the seller by 11pm on the same day we were told there was a midnight deadline. She chased every email, phone call, and left no stone unturned. She does all this with good humor and tons of personality. Shelly goes above and beyond what you believe someone will do for their job. Clearly, there is much care, concern and well meaning that goes into all her consideration.
We had a great experience selling our house with Jennifer. Our situation required more logistics than usual because we were selling our house while living abroad, and were unable to be there in person. Jennifer is a great communicator and managed everything about the sale with professionalism and patience. We couldn't have done it without her.
Strong recommendation for Anja Plowright and team. From initial introductory call to handover of keys, Anja, Emma and Rena delivered seasoned professionalism, deep market knowledge and friendly rapport. As a team, they are able to be very responsive whether by text, email, phone or seeing a listing in person. In a very competitive and sometimes complex East Bay market, our effort was surprisingly smooth and quick, many thanks to Anja, Emma and Rena.
July 19, 2026 To Sheila Sabine: We want to express our gratitude for all your hard work and attentiveness in the sales of our duplex in Oakland. The multitude of hours (!) you have expended, your knowledge and professionalism, your trustworthy advice and your accessibility at all hours, resulted in a very favorable sale of our property. In addition, we feel we have gained a new friend. Many thanks to you (here’s hoping you get SOME personal time back!),
Choosing Jennifer as our agent was a key move in our home buying process that proved to be one of our best decisions. Her command of professional communications and project management adeptly lead us through the entire process. Buying a home proved to be one of the most stressful projects in my life. Not only was Jennifer there to advise and consult, but always available to talk us off a cliff. Her knowledge of the real estate market and its customs, process, timelines, and procedures gave us the confidence and support we needed to make it over the finish line and beyond. Her advice was always spot on and correct. Thank you Jennifer for being such a pro!
