I am experienced in the marketing of real property for clients. I discussed the subject property with several potential realtors, received advice from a friend who is one of the most successful realtors in Northern California and interviewed four prospects. In contrast to the other three, Steven Good was immediately responsive to my request for an interview and provided some pertinent written materials on less than a day’s notice. Again in contrast to the others, he believed that the property could be sold as a residence rather than as a teardown. With remarkable speed, he analyzed and recommended the various improvements that should be made in order to expose the property to the market most advantageously. Using his many contacts, he identified contractors and individuals to do the necessary work and obtained my approval. He monitored all the work being done and kept me advised of its progress. He established a budget for the work and did not exceed it. He created an attractive website to offer the property for sale. Several persons who had known the late owner and were familiar with her home expressed amazement at how attractive the work Mr. Good recommended had made the property. He was thorough in exposing the property to other brokers. He was knowledgeable about the prospect of a “bidding war” occurring. He recommended listing the price at a figure well above that recommended by the other three broker candidates. As soon as the bidding was open, we received an offer $150,000 above the asking price, and the property was ultimately sold for $250,000 more. Mr. Good continued, as he had from the beginning, monitoring the entire process. He worked out an issue affecting the allocation, of property taxes. The sale closed only 14 days after my acceptance of the offer, with no complications. As a lawyer specializing in estates, I will have the opportunity to engage or recommend real estate brokers for property in the Montclair area. My choice will be Steven Good.

If you are fortunate enough to choose Audrey Young as your agent, you are in capable, caring hands. We’d give her 10 stars if we could. Audrey helped my husband (and I) following the death of his brother. My husband was the Administrator of his brother’s estate, which included a unique home in Montclair. She recommended workers to finish the daunting task of cleaning out the house, suggested an incredible handyman and other professionals and guided and gently encouraged us to make some repairs, paint, carpet and stage the house. Oh my, what a difference this made!! The house had considerable charm to begin with, but her suggestions without a doubt made for a quick and satisfying sale for both seller and buyer. Audrey’s knowledge of the market was key. Also, her team made the negotiations and lead up to closing reassuring and successful. We’d be remiss to not mention that Audrey has a certain effective and caring way of communicating. She listens well, asks the right questions and truly has your welfare in mind. Did we also say she has a heart of gold?!? Although my husband worked more with Audrey, writing reviews is not his thing, so after discussing all of the above with him and knowing Audrey well enough too, I jumped at the chance to sing her praises. She is truly one of a kind… A simple thank you isn’t enough, Audrey! We will recommend you and Grubb to anyone looking to buy or sell in her area….for sure! -Tom and Loranne

My siblings and I selected Liz and her colleague Leonore Deaton as our counsel and guide to preparing and selling our parents' much beloved home of 30 years. Liz and Leonore guided and supported us through every phase of the process, with professionalism and empathy, building our confidence, honoring our questions and perspective, providing excellent resources and ultimately leading to a very successful result for all involved.

Cheryl and Lori were absolutely amazing to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for their guidance and support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

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.
