Her marketing was very effective, including video, social media, open houses, realtor platforms, and more. Moya was hands-on from start to finish, managing details, vendor meetings, and scheduling so we didn't have to. Her communication was clear, and the Compass dashboard also kept us informed. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, our condo sold in under 90 days--while similar units sat on the market for much longer. Moya truly cared about the outcome and was a trusted partner every step of the way. We'd work with her again without hesitation!

Her glowing reviews are what drew me to work with her. She was friendly, patient, responsive, knowledgeable, always prepared, and full of great ideas. As a first time homebuyer who was specifically looking for a home in Oakland, I could not have asked for a better agent. I knew from our first chat that she was a perfect fit. She gave me sage advice and with her guidance, I was able to purchase my dream home at a reasonable price on my second offer! She helped me accomplish what other agents told me was not possible.

We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience buying a house with Celia Concus and…read moreher Red Oak partner Ben Levin. The best way to sum it up is that we were treated like family. The two of them consistently went above and beyond over our 9 months of looking for a house to ensure that when we bought, it was a house that they would choose for their own loved ones. We were first-time, rather clueless homebuyers at the beginning of this process, and through their mentorship we have learned a ton about not only buying but also maintaining a home. The house we wound up in is more beautiful (and a better investment!) than we could have imagined when starting this process. Just a few examples of what "above and beyond" means with Celia and Ben: When my partner and I were serious about a house near a major street, Ben and Celia went to visit it on their own accord and took a walk to learn about the area. They found out through a conversation with a nearby realtor, and subsequent super-sleuthing, that there used to be a dry cleaning business adjacent to the property and that it was purported to be contaminated with chemicals that could have been very dangerous to us or our future kids. We would never have discovered that, nor the other subtle red flags - incomplete pest reports, seismic weaknesses, landslide risks - that Ben and Celia found with their fine-toothed combs and made transparent to us. Celia knows EVERYONE in East Bay real estate, and she used that network over and over to ensure that we had all the info we needed to make a responsible decision. She and Ben also know a tremendous amount about home construction, what various repairs might cost, and who we should hire for what tasks, not to mention the neighborhood personalities and school districts throughout this area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when everything in real estate became harder- and there was maybe even more incentive to close a deal- Celia and Ben continued to put our interests first. They were expert negotiators in closing this deal and helped us find an awesome team for closing- we closed in just 15 days! In addition to their professional excellence, Celia and Ben are two of the loveliest people to work with. We can't wait to invite them for dinner at our new place, and will be excited to partner with them if we ever need to move again (which we probably won't, thanks to them!).

Whether you are buying or selling a house, Celia Concus is the realtor to use. Celia is extremely…read moreknowledgeable about the East Bay housing market and is well respected by her colleagues, which I believe helped us in the negotiation process. After a difficult 2-year search, Celia was instrumental in getting us into the perfect home. She was extremely sensitive to our personal needs, attentive to our financial constraints, and extraordinarily patient. Celia also represented us when we sold our first house, and the selling price was much more than we expected. I attribute this to her good advice about how and when to show the house. Although I have no plans to ever move again, I would certainly use Celia again if the need arose, and would give her the highest recommendation.

We initially got possessive over the details when freshening up our home to get it market-ready. Once Lisa listened, allayed our concerns and had us trust in the process, we left the details to her. Her communication was great from start to finish. We met in the fall, wanting to sell in the spring. She knew the timing of which day to reveal our house on MLS based on the school calendar and worked backwards to time each piece needed to meet that deadline. The marketing materials she prepared were exceptional. The social media reels she developed were fun and highlighted the features of our home. Our house was on the market for 12 days and we received multiple offers. We weren't sure what to expect in this market, but Lisa knows what buyers' want and we very pleased with the outcome. Selling our family home and moving was no walk in the park, but Lisa made the process easy. She's a pleasure to work with, and her professionalism is beyond reproach.

It doesn't get any better than Jasmine!…read more Jasmine was listed on Zillow as one of the top realtors in my area. I reached out to her after having decided to move on from another agent in which I had a terrible experience.

Over the next few months, we saw a lot of houses together and built a strong client-realtor relationship. By the time we found our house she was more like family than an agent. What I appreciate most about Jasmine is that she is a true professional and she knows her stuff! She provided helpful advice, taught us so much along the way, and never left us wondering. She helped my family and I realize our dream of becoming homeowners and I can't thank her enough for that. Working with Jasmine throughout this process was very memorable and delightful.
