I met Carla several years ago...while getting a pedicure! I kept her info for at LEAST 5 years…read more She's a local and we both love wine so I'd bump into her or check in with her over the years. When I was ready to sell my home, I called her up! She remembered me and got to work right away!!! She had a solid plan and when I tell you she did her. j-o-b!! I mean it. My home sold is less than a week!!! She priced it competitively to make sure I got the best deal possible. She was on top of ALL the paperwork, checking in, double checking and just being a complete boss. She is knowledgeable, professional and puts her clients FIRST. She has never let more than a couple of hours go by without getting back to me when I had questions. If you want an ABSOLUTELY seamless transaction ...reach out to Carla!! You will be happy you did!!

We ended up finding a new development in the area and we were quick to call her up to represent us. She was helpful from Day 1, making sure our questions (and we had a million of them) were answered promptly and in detail. She was diligent in getting updates from our builder (even when they couldn't care less) and making sure we felt comfortable in the months leading up to closing escrow. She was also extremely thorough in prepping us for any roadblocks that came up (and they did -- Covid labor and supply delays, city inspections taking forever, etc). Carla was available via text, phone, day and night as we approached our closing date and has been checking in periodically ever since. We're so grateful to have randomly found her and could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for their next home!

Several months ago my wife and I began to explore the possibility of selling our Alta Heights home…read morein Napa in considering an out of state move. We have several well qualified friends in the real estate business and struggled with deciding who to use if we were to sell. We decided that the sale was an important business decision and we began to research other realtors based solely on their reviews, reputation and presentation. Gisele Lampe from Caldwell Banker of the Valley's name seemed to repeatedly rise to the top of the list in those categories and we contacted her to set up a meeting. During that first meeting it was apparent that Gisele already had done research on our home, the Alta Heights area, comps and property records. We hadn't yet retained her as our realtor but she quickly identified a couple of errors which occurred at the city planning level in which our permitted home improvements were never signed off, although they had been completed. Throughout the process she demonstrated that she takes a proactive stance in representing her clients. We also noticed that during the tour of our home, she was keenly observant and utilized her years of design skills to evaluate our property, make suggestions, point out potential weaknesses. One of those suggestions was to conduct a pest inspection. While I knew it would be necessary if we were to go on the market, we had a pest inspection a few years prior and received a clean report so it didn't seem necessary if we were not set on selling. Gisele was tactful and confident in her approach and recommended a different pest inspector than the one who had cleared us before, assuring us that her recommendation was a very thorough and experienced professional. The pest inspection revealed damage which came at a significant cost to repair but was necessary whether we went on the market or not. We had taken a lot of pride in our home and both the news and cost were hard to take. The damage also required that we install a new bathroom which added to an already escalating cost. Gisele was supportive and reassuring and in her very special and intuitive way, she helped us to remain focused on our primary goals and to act accordingly. While the repairs were being made, Gisele introduced us to her whole team, including her husband Jerry, her associate Jamie Hurley and professional office assistant, Laura Brasil. We found each member of her team to be professional, friendly, dependable and realistic in their approach. They all helped us to navigate the repairs while we were away on vacation, meeting with the fumigation company, contractors and arranging to open and close the house in our absence. Gisele set a couple of parallel strategies for marketing our home and even encouraged us to wait or walk away from the sale if we were not comfortable. We never felt as though her primary motivation were her own self interests. My wife and I chose a strategy that most represented our own approach and we signed with Gisele. We felt her insights were logical, well thought out and considered our longer-term goals. Gisele and her team's efforts resulted in a very quick sale of our home, at a good and fair price, which all occurred during a time that interest rates were surging and others told us we were making a mistake because we had missed the positive market opportunities which were prevalent a few months prior. Gisele and her team were all sincere, authentic and professional. Gisele is a superb communicator, she is kind, compassionate, creative, direct and naturally intuitive. We also admired Gisele and her team for advocating on our behalf and operating with the upmost integrity, taking steps to make sure our interests were protected, while working cooperatively with the buyer's agent and doing her best to ensure the buyer was satisfied. We are so pleased with Gisele and her team. We recommend her to others without reservation.

Sarah and her professionalism, initial expertise and patience is beyond anything you would ever imagine!! I met her through a mutual friend who's words rang true up until even now "call Sarah she will get you into a house." I hesitated as I was so tired and stressed being 6 months pregnant at the time and needing a home before delivery. Our first meeting Sarah came packed with punches! I couldn't believe how one phone call before I even decided to allow her into this journey for my family turned into such a blessing! She came with 92 properties based on our requests, with her dynamic assistant Nadine via zoom ready to go! She assured me before I delivered she'd get us in our home! Again I was hesitant as I had a previous experience with someone else that left me hopeless. She did not let up! My emotions were haywire as I kept doubting the process and Sarah and Nadine pushed me to stay hopeful and reminded me that We were equipped, qualified and our turn was awaiting us. I don't have many words to describe the kind of women they are, but I'm sure a new one can be created! Lol. Sarah and Nadine were more than agents, they quickly became family. My full trust was in them and not ONE TIME did they let us down! They were hopeful, diligent and grounded. Her years of experience definitely show and their isn't too much you have to do, but trust the process with her and Nadine as your main advocates. She was the glue to our entire purchase and without her I am sure we wouldn't have closed in only 45 days!! Trust me when I say even one call with Sarah and Nadine will change your life and you will be able to breathe and relax as they spearhead a dynamic deal to meet your families needs. Please, please, please don't give up! Give Sarah and Nadine a chance to find you your forever home. We are sitting comfortably in our 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home with a gigantic back and front yard and we owe it all to our angels. Sarah and Nadine

As someone who worked in real estate many years ago, I'm hypersensitive to the lions den arena when dealing with agents and sellers in an aggressive market. I was immediately put at ease with Nicole's straight shooting style and her quickness to help us secure some showings of properties we were interested in viewing, while also providing context along the way. She was informative, well-versed and a breath of fresh air in a market filled with aggressive and hungry salespeople. As we moved to make offers on various properties, she navigated us throughout the process, informing us of the competitive landscape and making it seamless to complete everything quickly. We were fortunate to have found her, as we found a house extremely fast that met all of our requirements, in the area we wanted, and within the price range we were aiming for. She navigated the entire escrow process and coordinated between our loan company and the seller so that nothing was missed whatsoever. Even when the process was complete, she made sure things went smooth as we moved in and were happy with how everything turned out. Her combination of experience, candor and professional demeanor are a rarity in this industry, and she has clients for life now in us. You'd be foolish to not consult with her first if you're looking to buy or sell in the Bay Area.
