Stories From the Lovely People I’ve Helped
Here are a few real reviews by real estate clients I’ve worked with. Many clients would be happy to speak with potential clients. So feel free to ask!
They said “yes!”
This Oakland home with an ADU checked boxes they didn’t know they had.
They said “yes!”
Whey didn’t know the East Bay but know their must haves. We found it!
They said “no!”
What a joy they spent enough time to realize it was a “hard pass.”
Client Case Studies: How We Connected the Dots
My wonderful home buyer clients had been looking in a different part of the Bay Area for a condo when they decided San Jose was just the right spot.
There was a twist! They were in contract with a new home developer and thankfully got out of it.
There was another twist! I was unable to drive due to an injury. So I tapped into my agent network. A colleague happily showed them several places, and they got the condo they loved in the Tuscany-inspired Communications Hill development.
Success means being open minded about what checks all the boxes and taking time to be sure you’ve chosen just the right location and property.
A real estate agent in another state referred his client to help sell the Alameda home of a senior family member who needed support.
The family chose what to keep and what could go. Then we pulled together team of specialists to get the home ready to sell, make updates using Compass Concierge, and market this home in a popular location to the right buyers.
Despite the mid-2025 real estate market’s challenges, we received several offers and closed without a hitch, above the asking price, welcoming new owners who were seeking the good life in Alameda’s Bay Farm Island community.
An Alameda home owner who had bought this 1-bedroom cutie with Susie a few years earlier decided it was time to sell.
The 2025 real estate market was still affected by higher interest rates and uncertainty in the climate due to various factors (which shall remain nameless).
We strategized the likely buyer profile and prepped the house with new paint and beautiful partial staging — where the staging combined some of the owner’s belongings and some furniture and decor of Berkeley-based Love and Staging.
After an extensive digital marketing campaign, open houses, and proactive outreach to agents, we received a winning offer.
