One year ago, Laurie sold my elderly parents home of 55 years which was a difficult move for me and…read moremy family for many reasons. At that time Laurie not only guided us through this difficult transaction, but offered and recommended resources that we have used throughout extended family in multiple situations.They had moved to Rossmoor community which had been a dream of my moms. Sadly my mother passed away within a year, and we had to sell their beloved apartment. Laurie was once again an amazing partner. She took all of the stress and burden from me, and made this transition as easy for me and my family as she possibly could. Her expertise made for a quick sale with very good results. I couldn't ask for a better partner in this journey of selling my parents' homes. I have no hesitation giving Laurie my highest recommendation!

Ms. Berry asked me to do a dual representation offer for another client she had and I foolishly agreed. Once She wrote the offer for her other client I feel she did not represent me any longer but was acting primarily on their behalf. Ms Berry was condescending and rude to me on several occasions. She.provided poor customer service and I ended up getting a good amount less than we originally discussed. I highly recommend you do not have Ms Berry do a dual client sale representation process based on my bad experience.

"Amazing" would be an understatement for Maichee and Renee…read more First off, Maichee, who was our buyer's realtor. She is the epitome of poise, professionalism, likability, high EQ and high IQ and mostly, a genuine kind person. Extremely competent and meticulous. Hands down the best buyers realtor we've ever worked with. She found us our dream home, walked us through every step, recommended handy man, pool company, electrician, etc. She is like ChatGPT in human form. We absolutely adore Maichee. Second, Renee White was our selling agent. She is truly a boss lady! She knows real estate inside and out, and can probably sell just about anything. She's so charming and funny, yet so professional and "on top of her game" at the same time. Her entire team (Darlene, Michaela, Issac, etc) are all wonderful. They basically took charge of our house, made the necessary improvements, strategically got as much foot traffic as possible. Our house was sold very quickly to the perfect buyer. It was so seamless for us. We are so grateful to have found both these beautiful ladies to represent us. It doesn't get any better than these two!

We found her to be very…read morefriendly, easy/fun to work with, quick to respond, happy to answer our newbie questions, and flexible about setting up viewings. She was also very good about following all Covid safety guidelines. During the home search, she was very knowledgeable about potential property issues to watch out for - things we may never have known or thought about. Her many years in the industry meant she had the experience and advanced insight to craft the type of offer the seller was looking for, which is not easy given the current highly competitive market! We would recommend her to our family and friends with no hesitation. Thanks Angelica!

Angelica recently helped my fiancé and I purchase our first home, and the experience was absolutely…read morewonderful. She won us over the very first time we met because of two main reasons. 1.) Her extensive knowledge about the real estate industry was immediately evident. As first time homebuyers, she was able to point things out to us that we would have failed to consider without her, such as details about HOA maintenance and projected resell values. She also has a strong mortgage lending background, so she was able to fluidly explain additional details of the lending process to us. 2.) She was not at all "salesy." Not once did I or my fiancé feel that she was trying to convince us to consider a home that we were not interested in. Instead, she patiently received our feedback and implemented it into the showing of the next site. Angelica always reassured us that she wanted to find a home that we were confident AND excited about. We both felt like a priority to her, and are so grateful to have been able to work with her. Whether you're buying or selling, first-time or experienced home buyers/sellers, you will be Angelica's priority and she will effectively advocate on your behalf.

She played a huge role in helping us take the big leap into homeownership. From the start, she took the time to truly get to know us and understand what we were looking for in a home, while also giving us the space to explore options we liked. Jenny consistently had our best interests at heart. She brought so much knowledge and experience to the table--things we wouldn't have known to look out for as first-time buyers. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to negotiate to have all of our closing costs covered, which was a crucial part of making our starter home possible. We're so grateful for everything she did for us!

When I was considering looking outside of the area, she paired me up when another realtor to view properties outside of the area, all the while still helping me. Jenny worked well with my loan officer and the listing realtor. She advocated for me in negotiating favorable terms. This is my first home purchase, and I am so grateful I got to work with someone who genuinely cared about me. She conveyed clearly on how strong my offers were, and set realistic expectations. Jenny's professionalism, tenacity, and well established relationships in the industry made my experience pretty seamless. Jenny was patient in walking me through the process. I strongly urge anyone looking to purchase a home to reach out to Jenny. I really thought this could not happen for me. I feel more secure with my future. Thank you Jenny!

Rachel Birnbaum was the Owner/Broker. She had a number of very good reviews so we called her and spoke for quite a while about what we were looking for and our budget. From the first call, she started working to find us just the right house. Quickly, she came up with a number of options. She actually videotaped homes she previewed which made things easier for us to choose which ones we wanted to visit and further evaluate. In all of our dealings with Rachel, she was always on top of things, keeping in touch on a regular basis and updating any new listings. We eventually expanded our search to include other cities in the East Bay Area. Prior to making our first trip up North, she would give us the pros and cons of each house, and the back story of the cities. She is both an excellent Real Estate Professional, and easy person to work with. We found a house in Brentwood, CA, made an offer which was accepted after some back/forth negotiation. She handled the escrow process flawlessly and the sale went through without a hitch. Rachel gets an A+ from us for the help she provided, including her knowledge of real estate and her mild easy manner. A win-win transaction, so happy we had Rachel on our side. Another quick addition, Rachel is married to a General Contractor, Ron Bruno. Ron actually did the renovation work that was necessary with the Brentwood house. His work and the subs he hired were also excellent. The work was completed on time and within budget. They are truly a great pair to work with from start to finish.

She is a top-notch professional and you will be so glad you met her!!

Thankfully our only interactions with her were from trying to view 2 rentals she was listing. She took forever to respond and finally got back telling me applications were being reviewed, did not mention the other place. Also doesn't help all her ads say no calls, messages only. Too bad she isn't good at responding. A few weeks later I get an email telling me the first place has an open house on 8/26(sun). Also get an email on second place saying no longer available. Cool. Take the listing down then. We show up on Sunday to the first place and no one is there. We email her and she says sorry it's 8/26(mon). Not a good experience at all. Unprofessional. Wouldn't ever hire her as a realtor.

We had been casually browsing a year before this and knew what to expect then. But with ever changing guidelines and circumstances, Debbie & Franchesca pivoted quickly and took care of our needs. We were able to close on our house in 30 days exactly. Debbie and Franchesca caught several things that saved us time AND money during the process, always looking out for our best interest. Even though they are based out of Martinez, they took no issue in helping us purchase in Sacramento. We had heard of so many stressful first-time home buyer's stories, we just couldn't believe we lucked out with such an easy process. If it's always this flawless, we wouldn't hesitate to work with this team again.

Our home has finally closed, and I can honestly say I don't think we would have made it to the finish line without her. This wasn't a simple transaction. Between unexpected challenges and everything else life threw at us, there were plenty of opportunities for things to fall apart. Christine never let that happen. She stayed on top of every detail, kept everyone accountable, communicated constantly, and always made sure we knew what was happening. When problems came up, she didn't make excuses--she found solutions. That's a rare quality. During one of the most difficult times my family has ever been through, Christine showed patience, compassion, and determination that went far beyond what I expected from a Realtor. She genuinely cared about getting us across the finish line, and it showed in everything she did. If you're looking for someone who will work hard, tell you the truth, fight for your best interests, and never quit when things get complicated, Christine Holt is the Realtor you want in your corner. Christine, thank you for everything you did for our family. We will never forget it, and I recommend you without hesitation
