Tracy and her partner Linda were recommended to us by former neighbors who raved about their experience with Berkeley Hills and Tracy when they sold their house. They were so right. Tracy knows the market so well and she is a wonderful partner in the emotionally and physically difficult process involved in selling or buying a house. What I particularly loved is that Tracy and Linda work with an entire team of people who each have expertise in what is needed to get a house ready for sale. The team includes painters, floor experts, gardeners, stagers, etc. They manage everything so you don't have to worry and make decisions on hiring and supervising anything. They worked with the team members --all from the same very extended family -- for decades and things progress fast and without a hitch. Everything is done well. I also really like the way Tracy and Linda interact with their team members. And that is another thing I want to highlight. Tracy is a lovely person. She is fun and full of energy and she is kind and thoughtful. She also has excellent taste. She and her partner spent half a day going through our house deciding what kind of upgrades would be most strategic (and necessary). They then executed the plan with help from the team and it came out looking incredibly attractive. They really thought carefully about what investments we should make in the house prior to the sale, and I felt we got excellent advice. Tracy is super organized and everything is planned and priced and there are no surprises. I could not recommend Tracy higher and I just recommended her to one of my best friends.

Jaque was truly the best and guided me through every step of the home-buying process. She was always there to answer any questions I had, no matter how big or small. Anytime I wanted to see a home, she worked around my availability and made the time for me. When things didn’t go as planned, she was always there to encourage me and remind me that something better would come along. She never let me feel discouraged and always went above and beyond to help me. What stood out the most was how available, patient, and supportive she was. I could reach out to her practically 24/7, and she always made me feel like I was a priority. She truly cared about helping me find the right home and not just making a sale. I’m so grateful for all of her hard work, patience, and dedication. She made such an important milestone in my life so much easier and less stressful. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. ❤️ Thank you once again for making my life easier and making me a happy homeowner.

This realtor established a concise plan that resulted in the house being optimally prepared for the sale. First, they identified what elements would be necessary to revise, in order to maximize the sales price. Next, they brought in skilled specialists to perform the necessary rehab work. Their stager was excellent and captured the personality of the house. Finally, they determined an ideal listing price, obtaining multiple bids and a final sales price that was 11% over the listing price. We could not have had a better outcome and highly recommend this realtor for a superior sales experience.

Beverly knows this market and is very efficient and has great communication

I had a great experience working with Jaime. She was referred to me by my previous Realtor, who does not serve Contra Costa County. From our first meeting, Jaime was welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. We met at her office, completed the paperwork, reviewed recent comparable sales, and discussed our target sale price. She understood our goals and assured me that she would advocate for us throughout the process. I especially appreciated her knowledge of Deer Ridge and the surrounding area, including the neighborhood’s history and future potential. After we signed the paperwork, Jaime was always prompt in answering my questions. The transaction went very smoothly, with no issues. She was also flexible and well organized regarding open houses—if she was unavailable, she made sure someone was available to host one for us. She even gave us a thoughtful welcome basket filled with goodies, which was a very kind touch and something we can enjoy in our new home. I would absolutely recommend Jaime to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and dependable Realtor.

I was referred to Bev, who was described as the real estate expert in the Oakley area. We had a rental property in Oakley that we wanted to sell and when I first called her, she already knew who I was as she heard I may be calling and she knew the property address about which I was calling. We met at the property, and after walking around to see everything, she gave me a bunch of ideas about our selling options. It was very apparent that she had her finger on the pulse of the local market. She provided me during that first meeting a folder that contained comps for houses in the area, and she provided her expert analysis for selling strategies, including the cost benefit analysis of fixing the house up and selling it vs selling it as is. She did her homework before meeting me. She also had connections for handypersons, cleaners, roofers and whomever else we needed to get the home ready to sell. During the entire process, Bev was extremely communicative and always available by phone or text. We ended up selling the property very quickly and I believe that Bev's knowledge and expertise was definitely the impetus for that smooth process. I cannot recommend Bev highly enough for your real estate needs. I plan to use her again if I ever have an opportunity to do so in her area.

We worked with Marianne and Lindsay about a year ago when we moved to California and started our search for a single-family home. Buying a home in the Bay Area can be daunting, but they supported us from start to finish. As a mother-daughter team, they offered a great combination of market knowledge, consistent communication, and realistic feedback on our expectations. We actually interviewed with three different agents before deciding to work with them based on their experience. Being new to the area, it was also super helpful that they introduced us to a great general contractor whom we have been working closely with for the past several months.

Ellen was fantastic. She made the whole experience of buying a home easier and anticipated our needs and questions. She was incredibly responsive and her knowledge and connections to other professionals helped us get help and answers wherever we needed them. We highly recommend her services if you are looking to buy a home. She is friendly, kind, and courteous and that makes all the difference in a stressful process working closely with someone who will represent your best interests at every turn.

Working with Angie was nothing short of amazing! She is a great listener and always attentive. She worked hard to understand our needs, likes, and dislikes. Then, went above and beyond to make additional time for us when needed. Finally, when the time mattered most, she helped reassure and secure our positioning to allow us to close on our first home! Something we will always cherish and remember!

We loved working with Deni! She is always available to take our call and kept us informed during the entire process. She also found us the perfect home. We would not use any other agent in the future!
