Cathy sold a property that was in a trust and needed a little bit of work. She knew exactly what was worth fixing and what wasn’t, and brought in affordable contractors to get things replaced. She also really understands what buyers are looking for in a townhome and HOA community. Important! I wanted to get the property sold quickly, so I trusted her judgment and she took the lead. She made the whole process easy. Cathy has the experience and connections! Let her handle it!
Lori and Cheryl were excellent agents on our behalf for the sale of our home of almost 40 years, and for the purchase of another home more suitable for us. It was a difficult decision for us to leave our home, but it was necessary. Lori and Cheryl moved mountains for us to make the move as easy as possible. Terrific recommendations for home professionals to make repairs and improvements to the home, as well as to the home we were moving to. I can't recommend them highly enough. You won't find better agents.
We had an incredible experience working with Ruhi! She helped us with both selling our house and buying our forever home. Ruhi has such an attention to detail that she makes you feel like you're her only client. From suggesting renovation work for the home, to carefully having the home staged and photographed, Ruhi expertly guided us through every step of the way. Selling a home is a stressful, multi-part process with so many moving pieces, so it really helps to have such a professional team walking you through each piece. Ruhi has built wonderful relationships with people involved in the realty business, including contractors, stagers, and movers, and she was able to leverage these relationships to help us get the best deal not just on the house, but on all the other pieces involved with the sale. We could not be happier, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ruhi and her team for all your home buying and selling needs!
Michael was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. This is the first time I purchased a mobile home, and he made everything feel simple and manageable, answered all my questions, and always went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported. I truly appreciate his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and awesome real estate agent!
Nancy and Jack were very knowledgeable and gave very professional advice that turned out for the best. They were always available and their strategy worked perfectly for only a week and a half on the market before our house sold. Their team worked well together and accomplished a lot in a short amount of time giving crucial timely advice to close the sale. They were well versed in the East Bay market and toured multiple neighborhoods and houses to find our new single story home. They kept in touch with those 35 people who requested disclosure documents and encouraged people and finally the buyer to make a bid. The neighborhood open house was very successful and nice as were the staging and landscaping with real artwork and flowers and a great eye. We recommend them to everyone we know.
Michael was an excellent communicator from start to finish, he got me in contact with his preferred handyman at the start of the sale and I was able to get the property ready for show within 2 months. He was incredibly responsive to all questions and swiftly found a buyer at our original posted price. Thank you Michael
There are not enough words I can say about Candice and Dave. I was a first time home buyer, and incredibly overwhelmed by the process and had agents that I worked with that were not meeting my expectations. Once I signed on with Candice and Dave, since day 1, they were attentive, thoughtful, kind, and empathetic to my needs and concerns. They also were flexible with their schedules to accommodate mine. We toured over 30 houses and each one they kept my needs and desires in mind. They never shied away from speaking fearlessly, and would be honest when they felt some houses were not a good fit. Not only are they insanely skilled at their jobs, they have been in the East Bay real estate market for decades. They are a beloved member of this community and their network is vast. They helped connect me with a trusted lender, insurance company, and not only that, they have a network of contractors and builders that are trusted - the partnership extends beyond just a contractual sale - they really want to ensure you feel that you have everything you need to feel safe and secure as move forward with the biggest purchase of your life! If you are trying to buy a home for the first time (or even if it's not your first time) Candice and Dave are THE humans to help make this happen for you. I could not have gotten a DREAM HOME without them and I am so indebted to their helpfulness and kindness along this incredibly complex and emotionally taxing journey. Thank you, Candice and Dave for everything!!
Market knowledge, negotiation skills and very professional.
Ruhi was absolutely wonderful to work with in purchasing our new home. From the beginning, she took the time to understand what we were looking for—not just in a house, but in a home and community that would be right for our family. Throughout the process, Ruhi was patient, knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, and always looking out for our best interests. She guided us through each step of the purchase with confidence and clarity, from evaluating the property and navigating the offer process to inspections, negotiations, and closing. We always felt that we had someone experienced and trustworthy in our corner. What we appreciated most was that we never felt pressured. Ruhi gave us thoughtful, honest guidance while allowing us the space to make the decisions that felt right for our family. When we found our home, she worked tirelessly to help everything come together and was there for us whenever we needed her. Buying a home is such a significant and emotional decision, and having the right agent makes all the difference. Ruhi made the experience feel personal rather than transactional, and her level of care continued well beyond having an offer accepted. We are so happy in our new home and incredibly grateful that Ruhi was the person who helped us get here. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in her clients.

Car figure always took into consideration, my personality and capabilities in recommending location and actual places for me. She was very observant of what would suit me and pointed out things that would not. I found her always available to go out with me and search new locations and condos. She kept in good touch with me. She kept in mind both my husbands and my interests and neat.
