In 1999 my bride and I had an extensive remodel done on our old house in Moraga. We needed an…read moreexpert to upgrade our kitchen's '60s vintage vinyl floor to oak wood. After doing a lot of research we called on Jeff Diggs. Jeff installed a solid oak floor in our kitchen and refinished the existing oak floors in the dining room, living room and foyer to match the new oak. The quality of work was impeccable! Jeff even corrected several things that the general contractor had done because they were not up to his standard. After twelve years the floors still looked great. Jeff is totally professional. He is easy to talk to. You explain what you need and he gets it. Jeff arrived early every day to start. He cleaned up every day after. He made sure our pets were safe during the job, even giving them a pet on the head when they came to investigate the commotion. He kept us in the loop explaining the process. When he was finished the floors were beautiful. Recently we had a water leak in the wall that leaked under the kitchen floor and caused some damage to the beautiful oak floor Jeff had installed back in 1999. I didn't hesitate to call Jeff to see what he could do to return our beautiful kitchen floor to it's former splendor. Last week Jeff came in and repaired the floor and refinished it. Of course the work is flawless. We could not be happier with the result. I have and will continue to recommend Jeff Diggs to anyone who needs excellent hardwood floor installation and refinishing.

For a 2nd time, Kathleen well exceeded our expectations and we are grateful…read more About 8 years ago, we looked to move from our home in Concord to our present home in Benicia. At that time the real estate market was increasing in value rapidly in both markets, and to make the transition was going to be challenging to say the least. We were fortunate to engage Kathleen Olsen as our agent in Benicia, and in a very tight market helped us coordinate the sale and leverage our equity to our present home, well beyond our expectations. To say that we are thankful is an understatement. The result is that we have been extremely happy in this hidden gem of a town, full of artists, friendly neighbors, and people that walk very small dogs. Our son has been renting a house we purchased in Concord so he could be near the high school our grandson attended. Our grandson graduated a couple of years ago and at a family dinner, I asked everyone, why are we maintaining a home in Concord? Why don't we sell the house and buy something comparable in Benicia area so we can experience the magic of the town we love? How hard could it be? Ahhh - famous last words. So we called Kathleen again, and we laid out all the relevant information for her and that our objective was to have our family close so we can all enjoy the community that we have learned to love. We determined that a 1031 Exchange would save a lot on capital gains taxes. The challenge was that this would require that the sale and the purchase would need to be timed precisely. She helps us figure out all the components about how we are going to pull this off, and then helped us put together all the pieces. First, she told us that it would best to secure another agent for the sale who knows that market. She introduced us to Greg Sousa, and worked with Kathleen, communicating every stage of the process. While the property was being readied for sale, the family started exploring homes in Benicia area. We finally found a home that fit our son's family's needs, and then put the Concord house on the market. As is common in this market, we had a mountain of offers. We picked the offer that met our needs and our timeline. We then worked on securing the home we wanted to purchase. Kathleen did a masterful job of negotiating the price and the terms. We were on pins and needles. The market is unusually sparse and trying to find an alternative home brings uncertainty. I think the skill she had was to manage our expectations and anxiety against her experience in this marketplace to get us a fair deal that we would be happy with. She helped us stay the course with our emotions in check, and the result is that we are able to move our son and family within 10 minutes of us and be able to enjoy the rest of our lives sharing adventures with the people we love. We are so grateful to Kathleen and her team, as well as all her colleagues who for a 2nd time has changed the trajectory of our lives. For a 2nd time, Kathleen well exceeded our expectations and we are grateful.

Fortunately, she had time to take my project on and got to work with decorating practically every room in my house. She chose furniture, light fixtures, accessories for bathrooms, area rugs, and wall art. She even redid our master bath with recommending wall paper, choosing flower arrangements and plants. She helped design our front entry way, and even managed someone to come in and help with handyman tasks and hanging mirrors. I can't express how thankful I am for her great eye, diligence, and attention to detail all working on our budget. She communicated well with us and kept us on track . She really transformed our space to a real home . Natalie is a true professional and very gifted in her craft. Mahalo Natalie!!!

Over a decade ago I worked with Signe to stage our Alamo home to sell. Signe really helped us give it the WOW factor and we sold in a down market at asking price. When it came time to sell the Emeryville Condo I called Signe immediately. Signe has the gift of adding the "this is what I want to live in" factor. She came out and walked the unit, gave me a very fair price, was so easy to work with, She got the staging done quickly for us to go on the market and was very careful in bringing the furniture in not to do any damage. Signe is a true artist, the furniture, placement, art, and accessories highlighted the features of the condo. One thing you can't really see in the photos of the staging is Signe's amzing use of textures. Every element featured textures to add richness and warmth. The condo sold to one of the first showings in less than 4 days and the staging was so fabulous the buyers asked to be put in contact with Signe so they could purchase some of the staging furniture! Signe is so very easy to work with, she takes sellers requests into consideration in the staging she does and stays current on trends and what the market is doing to help sellers get to SOLD. Hire SIgne for your staging needs, you won't regret it. Last added thing Signes team also patches and nail holes in the walls after de-staging which was a huge bonus for me that I didnt have to go in and do that.

We considered a few different staging companies and Signe stood out from the rest as she paid most attention to the details and came up with the best tailored staging plan for our house. Not every house in the same and she stages them accordingly. She added a lot of visual appeal to our house and it sold for a bit over asking. I would definitely use her again for our next sale.

That they would come back down into the 5% range and I would be able to refinance and that this would all save me money. It cost me thousands of extra dollars because if I had secured a 30 year 6.25% I would've been fine. I subsequently did refinance and that cost me thousands of dollars. So overall this loan that was supposed to save me a couple thousand dollars cost me probably upwards of $9000-$12,000. Buyer beware.

But after she ran a hard credit pull--which negatively impacted our score--we got no follow-up, no real plan, and no communication. We waited 13 days, only to be told she was "waiting on information" that she never asked for. I had to chase her down myself. And when we finally spoke, she sent us a generic 620 credit plan that we never discussed. That wasn't our goal, and it wasn't the agreement. To make it worse, there was no acknowledgment or apology for the lack of follow-through. So here it is, for her: "I'm sorry we wasted time, lost points on our credit, and got strung along for nearly two weeks without real answers." Don't be fooled by upfront promises. If you're serious about buying a home, find someone who's honest, consistent, and actually follows through.
