Seller of 1978 Tiffin Road, Oakland
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.
Seller of 1841 Carter St, Oakland
Regina Jacobs was recommended by everyone, including realtors we met in other counties. We'd met her in open houses through the years and decided to go with her based on the strength of the word of mouth reviews we'd heard. From the start she was honest, professional, understanding, and, client-centered. She was always available to help us with the many confusing aspects of the selling process. Relationship-wise, she would call a contractor or materials store and they would instantly be on board. At one point, someone offered to open their closed store immediately so we could look at finishes! That relationship building worked on our end as well. We never felt "handled" or pushed into anything. She was entirely on top of all the prep work that needed to be done. We joke that it's too bad we can't hire Regina to run our next remodel. We had, naturally, concerns over getting the house ready for sale. She always worked within our budget, but as a seller, you can't know if the money is well spent until the sale happens. My wife and I are both financiallly cautious prople. In the end, we followed her suggestions. When we sold our home for well over what we ever imagined we would get, I said to her, "Regina, we did everything you asked and you delivered." Despite a very strong offer, she made sure we had a back-up in contract as well. She was always prepared for different scenarios and I always felt that she was being honest with us. Regina was a true partner in the sale of our home and a kind and communicative person with an incredibly deep knowledge of all the aspects of the market here, from finishes to staging to landscaping to contracts and permits.

Buyer of 3890 Whittle Ave, Oakland
Teresa did an amazing job! My partner and I were first time home buyers, Teresa held our hands through every step of the buying process. From our first meeting she was incredibly organized, honest, and supportive. We had no idea what to expect going into this process and she helped explain each step and identify neighborhoods that we loved. For each home we considered buying she did an in depth analysis of the disclosures and was an amazing sounding board for making purchasing decisions. The close on our house was a bit complicated but felt smooth because of Teresa's strong negotiation skills and her wonderful advocating on our behalf. We always felt and knew that she had our backs during the whole process!

Buyer of 3938 Oakmore Rd, Oakland
Audrey is the perfect blend of knowledgeable professional and empathetic listener. We were constantly peppering her with questions and "ideas" and she always responded quickly and thoughtfully even if we were likely being a little silly. She had very good knowledge about the oakland market with a lot of her predictions on sale prices being spot on. She also has access to so many connections which is critical for bay area real estate. We had a bad experience with a realtor buying out condo prior and were so nervous about having someone take advantage of us again. Audrey was always honest and caring. We are absolutely smitten with our new home.

Buyer of 4751 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland
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
