In my opinion, Annie is the best agent I've ever worked with. Beyond being a great realtor, Annie is honest, truly cares about her clients, and a kind person. She was very professional, patient, and made the whole process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Annie if you're buying/selling a property in the Bay Area. read more

After living in SF for 15 years it was time to settle down roots and move to East Bay. Our search included parts of Oakland, Montclair, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito. Annie was referred to us by a friend/agent in San Francisco. She was an incredible resource for knowledge of the area, she was able to identify the style and needs of our family, and she is well-connected in the real estate community. As it turned out, this certainly helped our situation, since we were able to close on a house that was seemingly under-the-radar. She was able to show us a home that exceeded our expectations in the Lakeshore/Piedmont neighborhood, which we promptly closed on recently. Throughout the search, she was transparent, communicative, and she made herself available when needed for showings. We are very pleased with her assistance throughout the process, and we are happy to recommend her to anyone buying/selling homes in the area. read more

Annie was amazing as my realtor! It's hard to put into words, but coming from another agent I felt like the general feeling I got from Annie was that she was not trying to rush me out the door to close and immediately cash out on whichever offer flew in first with an acceptance. We looked through numerous different listings and discussed the pros and cons and I felt very well taken care of throughout the process! I think as time passed, Annie was really good at identifying my own personal preferences and desires for a future home and would be really candid about some listings that she felt like did not fit my lifestyle. She even went above and beyond and went to open houses on my behalf and facetimed me in when I was ill. Eventually, we ended up closing on an off-market house which for me was like the holy grail of any house search. I'm very happy with the results of our search and would highly recommend Annie (and have) to anybody seeking to find a home without feeling unnecessary pressure on houses that were anything less than perfect. read more

My husband and I are first-time homebuyers, and Annie was such a patient and knowledgeable guide. She helped us to understand the nuances of the East Bay housing market and the loan process to maximize our chances of purchasing the best home for us. Annie was flexible, easy to reach, and became very attuned to what we were looking for as we toured many homes. It is clear that she loves what she does, and we couldn't have had a better partner by our side in our search! read more

There are some people that you meet who truly love what they do, and sometimes you are lucky enough to be part of that process. You get to see them give 110%, care about you as a client, and be uber knowledgeable. Working with Annie C is just like that. You feel like you are working with a friend who has your best interest in my mind. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to tackle the Bay and surrounding areas! She is simply the best! read more

Annie is an up and coming realtor and she has been part therapist, part friend, and part realtor through my very wax on wax off home buying journey. She has treasure troves of patience and her best skill is being able to tell you when you shouldn't invest in something. She's also scrappy when she needs to be. My lender did a terrible job of sending the appraisal inspector over and Annie did everything in her capacity to expedite it and request an early appraisal along with counseling me. I truly appreciate her moral support. I wish her luck with her journey! To many more happy homes. read more

I still cannot believe it only took two months​ for Annie to help me find my dream house. She is one of the most considerate​ and candid people​ I've met. We formed a good rhythm of finding candidate houses from the first day - both of us went through listings and shared thoughts about potential good choices. She went to ​​open houses with me and evaluated the pros and cons of each place. These conversations helped me a lot to have a clearer picture in my mind about the merits that I cherished most for my future home. I cannot stress enough how I appreciate her candid and hardworking, especially during submitting the offer and​ negotiating the deal. Her professional opinions and suggestions helped me navigate through the most challenging but surprisingly ephemeral period of ironing out the final contract with both the bank and the sellers. I'd never know how she successfully managed so many moving pieces. In sum, I wholehearted recommend her to anyone who wants to find a dream home.​ read more

Annie is a persistent, professional, no-bs kind of an agent. My fiance' and I had been searching in the NOBE area for 2 years, looking for the perfect starter place for our working-professional life style. For those two years she stuck with us through all the losing bidding wars, realty fatigue, and narrow requirements. We finally found our perfect condo just under the wire and under asking! I felt I could have honest conversations with Annie and she knows when to set realistic expectations (especially when you get blinded by your ambitions). METIS is a smaller agency but I feel they provide great service and have the technology to back it up. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Annie for my family's home search in San Francisco Bay Area. Annie addressed all our concerns/questions for the search process. She had the knowledge to make us feel comfortable about the process. Eventually, we decided to expand our search to Sacramento. Although Annie did not specialize in the Sacramento real estate market, she was able to connect us with an agent in the area and now we're in escrow. I highly recommend Annie, whether you need help buying or selling your home. read more

My husband and I were first time home buyers when we met Annie through a friend's referral. She helped us understand the process, fill out paperwork and answered all our many many questions. She gave us great advice having in mind our situation and expectations. With her help, we were able to get our first offer accepted. The process was fast and overall a great experience thanks to Annie! read more

Considerate, a good judge, and has a keen eye for spotting a property you'd love. Annie works hard and diligently to make sure she has all the intel for you regarding your desired home, even on the day of the offer. read more

I gave Annie a difficult task: to find me the perfect home in Berkeley. I had strict requirements with regards to walking distances, shops, and so on. On top of that, I was new to the US real estate market, and even more, new to real estate at all! During the process, Annie helped me understand what to look when shopping for properties​. She learned my taste and only showed me homes that I would like. She went as far as working around my busy work schedule, picking me up 6 am so we could see places. The process took some time, but here I am, writing this review from the home I wanted to have. All thanks to Annie! read more

When my fiancé and I first connected with Annie, we were brand new to the home buying process. She gave us solid advice right away, helping us prepare for a fast-moving market, narrow down what was important to us, and set realistic expectations for our search. With her help, we were able to get our first offer accepted - and after some negotiation, nail down a lower price than expected! Throughout the process, including many high-pressure situations, Annie was responsive, honest, and personable. She answered our countless questions patiently and went above and beyond to support us, all the way to move-in day and beyond. We owe Annie a huge thanks, and wholeheartedly recommend her services. read more

Annie is a fantastic agent. She really goes the extra mile for her clients, and while short on small talk she is intensely focused on creating the results her clients expect of her. Annie is an exceptional communicator and is not afraid of communicating not just the great news, but will throw caution into the wind and plays a true adversarial role for her buyers and her sellers - especially those who are transitioning from one property to the next as time tables are often tricky to navigate. read more

As a first-time (and solo) homebuyer, it was extremely helpful to have Annie around when viewing houses. She had a good eye for things around the place of interest and great at asking questions that I would have never thought of. After a couple of initial viewings, she recognized quickly what my "style" was and the kind of place that would be most attractive to me, therefore appropriately filtering down the list of viewings. Annie invested a considerable amount of her time driving me to not only the viewings but also around the surrounding neighborhoods which was really helpful in making a holistic decision. I really enjoyed working with her and we stay friends to this day, long after the close of the sale! read more

As first time home buyer, we learned a lot of thing when working with Annie. Annie was very knowledgable and honest. She is also patient and never push us during the negotiation. Finally we got our dream house in San Mateo under her help. read more

Annie helped us to get our dream house with a very reasonable price. She is super responsive all the time. Buying home can be stressful, but Annie never pushed us to make offers or make offers with prices that we are not comfortable with. Working with Annie is delightful. She always ask us if we can imagine we live in here to help us find out our desires. Now we have lived in our new home for about 2months, and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Annie! read more

My friend referred me to Annie at the beginning of 2020 to hunt for a condo here in Downtown/Uptown Oakland. Annie knows this area very well, and she gave me the ins and outs of each building which had listings. I'm a first-time homebuyer, and Annie was very patient with my questions while walking me through the process. I finally found a listing that I wanted to bid on, and Annie got a bid together that day while arranging meetings with potential lenders. We went into contract very quickly and closed just recently! I owe Annie a huge thanks for making this as seamless as possible, and I know she can do the same for you in a competitive environment. read more

Buying my first home was a balance of pushing for what I want and being really timid and cautious in a realm that's totally unfamiliar - all as part of making the largest financial, and, frankly, life decision I've ever made. Annie was the perfect person to help talk through what I was thinking and help me find exactly what I was looking for. If I buy again in the Bay Area, I'm definitely working with Annie :) read more

Last year, I asked Metis Real Estate to handle a complex project: sell my bachelor pad condo and upgrade to a larger condo for my wife and me, both in San Francisco. Annie took the challenge and stepped up to the plate. Right away Annie and her team gave us guidance and were transparent about the process. She was honest and communicative. Unexpectedly, the real estate market had a slight down turn. But Annie somehow presented us with an offer at my lofty asking price! Even better, less than two weeks later, our offer for a new condo was accepted...at less than asking! She juggled both selling and buying simultaneously, while going between the seller, the buyer, our mortgage lender, and us seamlessly. I don't know how she managed to handle everything so smoothly. Throughout the whole process, she was calm, responsive, and had a can-do attitude. How many agents out there say they installed a water pan under a stacked washer/dryer unit on their own? Ultimately, the results speak for themselves: 1.) I sold my condo at my asking price 2.) We purchased our dream home 3.) My wife and I are still married after this journey. When it comes time to look for our next home, Annie and Metis would be my first and only call. read more

Being new to the Bay Area, Annie showed me the ropes around the East Bay when I was looking for rental units. Later when I was looking to buy, she took me around all the different neighborhoods in Oakland. I was a very scatter-brain buyer but she helped me narrow down my focus so that we didn't waste our time chasing after the wrong house. After losing out on one place (which I didn't really love anyway), we had the perfect timing for the second place, and eventually we won the bid with some skillful negotiations on her part. I recommend Annie for her ability to read a buyer's needs, her knowledge of the Bay Area and her negotiation skills. read more
