Even in a very difficult market he recommended reasonably-priced updates to prep our home and marketed it in a way that allowed to get $150K over asking in under 30 days. His real estate skill set is unparalleled, and he's such a nice, gracious, calm person. Even in very high-pressured situations (buying and selling can feel very high stakes at times), he asks the right questions and specializes in handling difficult personalities with grace. His focus was always on helping us close as efficiently as possible over making a point that someone had made an error. He is just the kindest, most charming person and his whole team is the same. They are the best of the best! My family and I will be forever grateful.

She coordinated high-quality staging, arranged thorough cleaning, and managed every detail with incredible care--all on an impressively tight timeline and budget. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication, even while I was traveling across time zones. Ann stayed proactive, responsive, and always one step ahead, making sure I felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the house looked amazing and sold super quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey. I highly recommend Ann and the Monday Team to anyone looking for a real estate agent who goes the extra mile and delivers results.

We worked with Sarah Ridge for over a year while searching for our first home, and as first-time…read morebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable about both home construction and the East Bay market. While touring homes, she walked us through every inch and provided assessments comparable to professional inspectors we've worked with. In the rare moments when she wasn't 100% sure about something, she brought in her husband Nick (who has decades of construction experience and now specializes in home inspections) to provide a second opinion. After only a few tours, we felt like we'd gotten a thorough education in home construction and maintenance, which we especially appreciated as first-time buyers. One of the things we appreciated most was that we never felt pressured to make an offer. Sarah proactively pointed out potential issues, including things we never would have noticed ourselves. She was completely transparent about the real costs of addressing less obvious but major problems, even when it meant we'd end up passing on a home. Sarah also has deep relationships throughout the East Bay real estate and contractor community. She connected us with great lenders, inspectors, and contractors. Her rapport with other realtors was equally valuable. Leading up to the offer deadline, Sarah maintained continuous, proactive communication with the listing agent. We truly believe her persistence and advocating for us made a huge difference in the seller choosing us despite other competitive offers. Beyond her expertise, Sarah is simply an amazing person - empathetic, fun to be around, and genuinely invested in her clients. Even after closing, she's continued to be an invaluable resource as we navigate all the questions that come with being new homeowners. We're so grateful to have met Sarah and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and all-around wonderful realtor.

They agreed to meet me while I visited in June to do reconnaissance, and we had a very cordial discussion about what I was seeking, and when. When I arrived in Berkeley in late August, I had already sent them examples of homes that interested me, and we had an email/phone dialog to help adjust my expectations and focus me on areas and types of homes that made sense, given my tastes and resources. We started working together on the ground in late August, and I made an offer on a home that stood out from all others by early September. Sarah and Ellie continued to guide me through the purchase and closing process, as well as identifying issues with the property that needed to be addressed in advance. Sarah has an excellent network. What I feel stands out about Sarah and Ellie are the following: - They love what they do - They are skilled in taking in their clients' needs and preferences, and tempering that with basic realities about the Bay Area housing market, both in general, and at any particular time or set of circumstances - They have long, deep experience in the East Bay - the houses, catching areas of concern, the history of the neighborhoods, etc that they leverage in helping their clients to find appropriate homes - They are flexible - my Mom was a realtor, and I was a driver in sending them listings, asking questions, telling them I wanted to see certain properties, etc, and they went with the flow, and even enhanced my experience by being willing to look at other houses we saw for sale that looked interesting on the way to the houses we planned to see - it was not only productive, it was a lot of fun I have now been in my home for 3.5 months, and I could not be happier with where I live, thanks in large part to Sarah, Ellie, and District Homes.

Her experience as a realtor was quickly evident as she expertly guided us through the home buying process. She communicated clearly and helped us to clarify our own needs and wants without imposing her own preferences (unless we asked - which we did!). At each step that involved working with other parties, she advocated for us and helped us to understand what was required to proceed. From the terms of the contracts to the branded sticker on her card, her attention to detail is unmatched. We went from attending open houses to owning a home we love in three weeks - a true miracle in the Bay Area. Thank you so much, Priscilla, for helping these first time home buyers to enter a market that felt inaccessible. 10/10, - we'll definitely be back for house number 2!

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.

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!

Roughly 7 years ago, we linked up with Rosie to help us purchase our first home, and she was so helpful along the way. As we slowly started to outgrow our first home, we worked with Rosie again for a new home last year, and she was so incredibly helpful and encouraging every step of the way. Throughout both times, she was always super responsive, made time to meet with us, and answered all of our questions throughout the home-buying process. We never felt any pressure from her to act on any of the houses we visited, and she always had a calm and relaxed demeanor that put us at ease. Rosie's recommendations & suggestions for insurance providers, lenders, or handy people were also great, and definitely helped us out in a pinch. Rosie made the homebuying process a relatively simple one, and we really couldn't have it without her help. She was really flexible with our schedule, super prompt when we had any last minute questions, and feels like a long-time friend at this point. Rosie provided us invaluable + realistic information around the comps for all the homes we visited, which ultimately helped us land an awesome new home.

A good friend recently said she is looking to buy a home. Without hesitation, I recommended the…read morerealtor who last year helped me sell and buy my homes: agent Graeme Parrinello, member of the Gunderman Group. Actions speak louder than words here. After Graeme and team helped prepare and sell my Oakland home early in the year, I chose to sign again with Graeme to buy my new home in spring. I'm glad I did. Both processes went very well, and I would recommend anyone selling or buying in the East Bay and surrounding areas to speak to Graeme before you decide on your agent. He and his team are smart, easy-going, enjoyable to talk with - and they get the job done. I know they are luxury realtors, but they took on my central Oakland 1926 vintage lovely that had been updated with much careful DIY flair. Their team made my house look great online and in person - and in a softening market I received several offers within two weeks of listing. They also took care of a lot of the last minute improvements that we all agreed to - taking many things off my plate that I didn't have to worry about or pay for upfront. I believe their efforts gave my home the best chance to sell early and for the best asking price. A few months later, when I was looking to buy in communities as different as Martinez, Crockett, Benicia and Vallejo, Graeme was a knowledgeable and helpful partner in narrowing down the field. Most importantly, he was always on top of communications around my listings of interest. And he was good on the ground doing preliminary inspecting of the properties I looked at. In these ways and others, Graeme made the process go smoothly - and even enjoyably at times. He is a great communicator who probably stopped me from buying the wrong house. I am very happy where I landed, and how well it all worked out. By the way, Graeme was recommended to me by a former neighbor who was also pleased with her home sale. I was happy to recommend them to my friend as well. As I told her, it is absolutely essential to get the very best real estate professionals you can find. So I would especially recommend Graeme to anyone who may shy away from the "luxury" label. Graeme is down to earth and approachable, and clearly is willing to help buy and sell properties in zip codes no one would call lux. So don't be afraid to aim high and reach out to the best, especially for something as important as finding or selling a home.

Leah has also been invaluable in helping me get situated in my new home, as well as providing a central source for all the services/utilities which I needed to change/set up in my new location. I also really appreciated the fact that there was no pressure upon me; Leah and her team fully respected my timeline, as the decision to move, as well as the process, did in fact take me some time to figure out.

A year and a half ago I found myself in the role of Trustee of a good friend's Trust upon his…read morepassing. Included in the estate were two homes, his personal home of many years in Kensington, and a rental home in Berkeley. Both needed some updating. I started my search for a real estate agent by noticing the companies that were already selling in both neighborhoods. Then I went to the firm's website and reviewed the credentials listed for their various agents to develop a short list. I interviewed several real estate agents before settling on Tracy Palma at Sotheby's. I could not be happier at that choice. We tackled the Kensington home first because of the red tape involved in selling what had been a rental home in Berkeley. Tracy's knowledge of the aesthetic appeal of the market was very helpful in thinking about what would be needed to most efficiently market the property. In addition, she is very well connected and was able to bring in experienced contractors and design experts to come up with a renovation plan, and then the proper people to execute it. All along she oversaw the project and provided progress reports. When the time came, she brought in an excellent stager to ready the home for showing. It had been many years since I had either sold, or bought, a single-family home. Tracy came up with a marketing plan that was not what I expected but turned out to be perfect. The actual marketing went smoothly and exactly as she had planned resulting in multiple over list offers with only two weeks on the market. Throughout Tracy was superb on communicating each and every development. Once the Kensington home was sold and the tenant was out of the Berkeley home Tracy brought her design team to work on a plan for that one. When a neighbor reached out to see if the home was going to be for sale Tracy came up with recommendations for an "as is" sale and quite literally within a week that home was sold to an all-cash buyer without the need to do any upgrade and renovation work. I'm confident that the "as is" price exceeded the net that I would have gotten after putting a couple of months work and several hundred thousand dollars into improvements. The long and short is that through these two quite different experiences I have come to regard Tracy as an excellent representative whether one is selling or buying a home in the Bay Area. I add the buying part because a big part of being an excellent representative for sellers is understanding the buyer's perspective. Larry Luckham
