We first met Deidre 13 years ago, when she helped us purchase our home in Crocker Highlands. We…read morekept in touch over the years and relied on her expertise again in our search for a new house with more space. We knew that the Berkeley market would be competitive and were prepared to be disappointed when we put in our first offer on a beautiful Craftsman home in Elmwood. The seller had received 14 offers and we went in with two contingencies - so our offer was a long shot. But Deidre successfully negotiated the sale and helped us get into our dream home! Deidre and Nicole made the home buying process so easy. We recently worked with them again in the sale of our Crocker house. This is where we saw Deidre's creativity really shine! She is a terrific writer and did such a wonderful job describing our home and showcasing all of the improvements we had made. The marketing videos, website, photos and postcards were so stylish and creative. Deidre and Nicole came up with cost effective strategies to get our house ready for sale. They really understand the market and know what buyers are looking for. We were thrilled that so many people showed up to tour our home. And at 41% over asking, the sale price exceeded our expectations. We loved working with Deidre and Nicole and highly recommend them!

Corey and her business partner Hanna helped purchase my most recent house just over 4 years ago…read more That house just sold a few days ago. When it came time to consult with true professionals about when to sell and how to prepare for the entire process the decision was non-existent. It was going to be Corey and Hanna. Best decision I've made. For various reasons I came to the "sell" decision late in the year. The first thing they coached me on was the need to make this decision quickly, gave me a finite timeline, and reasons for expediting everything. Their knowledge of the market, process, and impact on sales success is vast. Their detailed and well-reasoned analysis of the market was spot on. My trust in their expertise was galvanized. Decision made this team mobilized like no other. They (so I don't have to type Corey and Hanna over and over again) hooked me up with an amazing stager (Visual Jill), secured a gardener, put together a punch list of items to fix, suggested a handyman, handled all the details with the photographer, and put together a detailed schedule for the entire process. My schedule is busy, so their willingness to project manage numerous aspects of the transaction was a huge help. In the end, every suggestion they made, each piece of advice, set me up perfectly to maximize a successful transaction. The results speak for themselves - the final purchase price was considerably higher than my highest estimate. Corey and Hanna are consummate professionals with deep and detailed experience, AND up to the minute insights and trend analyses. They are also wonderful collaborators who make the process as simple and smooth as possible. If I good give them 5+ stars I would. I mean, who stays up late baking brownies so they have delicious treats to make the open house experience as delicious as possible for the prospective buyers?

Ellie's knowledge of houses and how they are built and maintained is something that really stood out. She will readily point out every detail of a property, the good and the bad, to make sure her clients are making the right decision.

After a year of purging, packing and repairing the property, it was refreshing to be able to hand the house over to Daniel for Staging, Landscaping and Photos. At every step, I felt supported and listened to and valued. Daniel was a constant source of encouragement and a steady voice of reason. The transaction had many twists and turns, all of which put me on edge. The marketing of the house was stellar. Not only did the house look great online, but the staging conveyed an atmosphere of not just another pretty house, but a lifestyle the new owner could live if purchased. The still photos were absolutely stunning. The end results were exactly what I wanted. I received a full price offer, with a 30 day close and was able to move on with the next phase of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel and his team as a seller and a buyer of Real Estate. His resources in regards to anything house related is vast and his subcontractors were top notch and knowledgeable. Thank you, Daniel for your assistance, guidance and friendship
