My husband and I are expecting our first baby in June and we have been working with Kellianne to view houses without being sure if we were fully ready to buy given the current market. However, with Kellianne's help in finding listings that fit our requirements we found a house we loved at an open house and we decided to put in an offer. Kellianne wrote up a competitive offer quickly to meet the deadline and was in frequent communication with the seller's agent so we knew the status of our offer. We were in the top 3 offers out of 20 offers on the house but the sellers went with an offer with no contingencies. We were discouraged by the experience but Kellianne was ready the next weekend with another round of houses to look at. We found another house that we liked even more than the last one. This time, Kellianne again guided us to make a strong offer and it was accepted! Kellianne was very helpful in explaining and arranging the inspections and during the difficult negotiations with the sellers. We were able to come to an agreement. We are excited to move into our new home and raise our children in the lovely neighborhood. We couldn't have done it without Kellianne with Karen Richardson Group.

She is kind, patient, responsive and has an incredible work ethic. But above all these what I value most is her candor - there is no 'spin', no games, no politics, she tells it like it is and cuts right to the chase. She takes the time to get to know her clients, never rushes, and her follow through is impeccable. When it got the negotiation stage of the sale, her true mastery shined brightly. She's whip smart, savvy, and even-keeled. She advocates for her clients, but is fair and reasonable. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She's truly one-of-a-kind and will be our realtor for life!

She helped coordinate and manage the updates, guided us through every decision, and got the home listed quickly and sold even faster.

If you're looking to buy or sell in the area and want an experienced, trusted agent representing you, I highly recommend Laura Wucher. We're extremely grateful for everything she did for us.

Sonal was amazing! She definitely had my best interest in mind at all times, and provided sound…read moreadvice on price negotiations, offer selection, and preparing the property for sale. She made herself available to any and all questions, including respond to phone calls at midnight to review final offers. She often times drove out of her way just to meet up and explain documents in person. Her recommendation on Stager made the apartment look great and at a more than reasonable price. And the photographer was one of the best on any of the listing sites, and included aerial footage of the property. The apartment looked way better than when I had lived there. So much so, that my wife joked that we should move back into the house. This resulted in an outstanding open house, and such an out-pouring of offers that we moved the offer deadline up twice!! We set a record sale price in the neighborhood by well over 10%!! After offer was accepted, she went so far as to assist the buyer with calling the county appraiser to ensure the deal went through. Stats: 116% above listing price! 4-days on market! Over 15 offers! 50+ visitors for one open-house day! Less than 30-days from start to money-in-the-bank! By far, the best selling experience I could have hoped for.

She worked with a lender of our choice and their interaction was seamless and I really couldn't tell that they hadn't worked together in the past and a lot was due to Sonal's professionalism and ability to stay on top of every detail. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!

Lots of history with Ines since we lived in the same community and went to elementary school together. She immediately embraced us with warmth and sensitivity knowing how difficult it would be to sell a family home. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we felt in good hands during the entire process of selling my home. Her approach was thorough and she has a solid understanding of the market. She had a detailed plan every step of the way from getting the home ready, providing the staging, listing the house, open houses and presenting the offers, She provided price comparisons in the area that helped us determine a listing price that ultimately attracted multiple bids and a higher price. She made recommendations for work to the house and coordinated the staging. Ines had a group of professionals, regardless of the job, that swooped in and within a short period of time to get the home on the market when the timing for selling was good. The best part was that he made it easy for us, so that we could focus on packing. When we discussed the offers she was patient and kind knowing we wanted a buyer that would love and care for this home in the years to come. Ines is highly communicative and responsive. She has the client's best interests in mind from start to finish!. CALL INES! She's the best!!

However, Anne had some great ideas for marketing and low cost improvements which helped position the house favorably. The result is that we got multiple offers far exceeding the listing price, and my expectations, with the sale closing smoothly. I am convinced that, thanks to Anne, I got top dollar for the house! Anne was also great to work with. Living in Sacramento, I was not able to come down to Berkeley as much as I would have liked and Anne helped to coordinate much of the work being done on the house. I came to rely and trust in her ability to manage the many aspects of the pre-sale activities as well as the sale itself. I enthusiastically recommend Anne for your selling needs.

And when you factor that in with a competitive housing market, you need the right realtor to get you to the finish line. When it comes to stand out agents, Stacey Isaacs is as good as they come. She knows the Piedmont/Montclair area well, from the community to the schools to even finance options. She's attentive, follows up promptly and guided us through the buying process from search to closing. But the best thing about Stacey is that she truly cares about her clients, and words can't express how grateful my husband and I are for the work that she did. She really understood our wants and needs, she'd email us new listings everyday and she visited dozens of homes with us, even when it was out of her way or inconvenient. She was always honest and candid with us about if the home was the right fit. And she went to battle for us during the negotiation process. If it wasn't for Stacey's experience, hard work and overall dedication to her clients, we would not have found the home of our dreams. If you ever decide to buy a house in the Piedmont/Montclair district, I highly recommend Stacey. Just like she did for us, she will go above and beyond for her clients in every which way and we couldn't be more satisfied working with her.

Nor did she abandon me when the ink was dried! She still checks in on me to this day! Stacey is organized and intelligent. Stacey has contacts that are stoked whenever she sends someone their way, because they know that Stacey represents good people. Stacey is tall and isn't afraid to wear heels. Stacey knows her stuff and lives on the corner of Kickass Circle and Bombdiggity Ave. If you have Stacey Isaacs in your corner, you can rest easy because you chose the best person available to represent your interests.
