Working with Karyn Kambur was hands-down one of the best decisions we made in selling our home. We…read morefirst met with her over a year and a half ago, when we were just beginning to consider the idea of selling. This was the first home we ever bought and our first time navigating a sale, so we had a lot of questions. From that very first consultation, she was patient, knowledgeable, and generous with her time, helping us understand the market and what we could realistically expect. Our home was a townhouse in an affluent neighborhood--a great starter home--but with a tricky HOA situation that she understood and helped us navigate. She gave us incredibly practical, strategic advice on exactly what we should fix, update, or leave alone to maximize value. Karyn didn't just point things out; she connected us with reliable contractors and resources to get the work done efficiently. Every recommendation was thoughtful and clearly aimed at protecting our investment. Throughout the entire process, she was consistently available--by phone, in person, whenever we needed her. Communication was clear, proactive, and steady. We never felt out of the loop. Most impressively, she found us a buyer before we even went on the market. The offer was contingent on the buyers selling their home, and while that ultimately led to a long seven-month wait for them to close, the escrow terms she negotiated were very much in our favor. At every stage, her advice was grounded, strategic, and focused on what made the most sense for us--not on rushing to make the deal work for the buyers, who were under pressure to sell their home. She kept us as the priority, guided us through each twist and turn, and helped us stay confident during what could have been a very stressful, drawn-out process. In the end, her guidance is what allowed us to sell at a highly favorable price and on terms that truly worked for our situation. As first-time sellers, we couldn't have asked for a better advocate or advisor. I would absolutely work with her again in a heartbeat and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Her expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to her clients make all the difference.

Karyn quickly began to prepare our property for a successful listing and sale. She arranged for all the inspections, oversaw them and previewed the property to other agents and potential buyers. Because of her hard work we were able to negotiate a great sale and transfer. Karyn kept us informed of every aspect of the sale and guided us through the practical and legal aspects of the transaction. I would not hesitate to use Karyn for any future sale and highly recommend her for your sale. Ken Gnoss

I just met this woman at one of her listings. One of the rudest agents I have ever met. As a…read moreserious buyer, you come armed with questions, asking as much as you can because you gotta be quick in this market. This isn't my first home buying rodeo, but obviously she thought she was way above it. Homes do sell themselves here in the city, and sadly agents get their commission regardless. If I was to list my home and entrust someone with one my most valuable assets, it would never be this person. I would look for an agent who can show my home and welcome every potential client into my home with warmth kindness. I can't imagine paying a seller agent that is this rude. As a buyer, I can't even stomach putting in an offer on the home I just toured. Yes someone will and she will be paid. Maybe that buyer will meet the "profile" she is looking for. Ahem....

At the initial meeting she asked my fiancée and I seeming typical questions to better get an understanding of who we were, our interests, styles, needs, and wants. She then said we were going to go on a driving tour of Oakland which we did not expect to happen that quickly. During the drive she navigated us through various neighborhoods she thought we would be interested in as well as others we would not so we could have the comparison. Her breadth of knowledge of Oakland and the East Bay proved immensely valuable in narrowing down neighborhoods and even reconsidering neighborhoods we would have otherwise not considered. She has a far reaching professional network as well which gained us access to early listings and showings. We ultimately put in an offer on a home we both loved, but quickly realized it was not going to be as traditional of a close and any of us had anticipated. During the 3 month escrow Maureen was constantly in contact with us giving us feedback on where things were in the process. She helped act as a therapist consoling us through moments of what seemed like limbo. We ultimately closed on the home we love and could not even remotely have done it with anyone else. Even after close she has checked in to see how things were which helped reaffirm her commitment to her clients.

She assessed the property, provided detailed and thorough feedback, and neatly mapped out her recommendations for listing timeline and repair, all while taking into consideration my goals and preferences. She took the time to clearly explain the plan and reasonable expectations given the current market. With my location quite a distance from the property, it was not possible for me to negotiate the logistics of getting the home up to showcase-standard. Tabia additionally stepped in as project coordinator and seamlessly organised and executed the entire process, syncing with the property management, vendors, and contractors. She smoothly arranged one appointment after another using her reliable list of contacts, and she was able to save me quite a bit of money. A diplomatic communicator, she handled unexpected events with aplomb. She accurately analysed situations and quickly arrived at straightforward solutions. In a span of less than a month she had orchestrated the completion of all of the necessary listing precursors to give the property the best chance of being noticed. Tabia understands the real estate market from not only the buyer and seller perspective, but she goes a step further and intuitively understands even the nuanced perspectives of long-term rental occupants having to vacate due to a sale. Frankly, she adds humanity and empathy to the real estate industry. The service was above and beyond my expectations. Last but not least, Tabia is an incredibly knowledgeable, outstanding, and exceptional real estate professional.

She will move mountains and possibly relocate the Hayward and the San Andreas fault to make sure your house gets sold without languishing in the market (very bad for value) for months! ** A little more detailed now ** Still here for more than a one-liner and a cliff-note? Good! Allow me to qualify my prologue. How many real-estate agents would offer to paint the walls when you display a reluctance to do so (out of sheer laziness)? I was embarrassed enough to decline her offer, and agreed to do it myself; thankfully spot paintings did the job really well (Whew!) How many would bring their own hose over to hose down and scrub your deck clean? I couldn't recognize the wooden planks after she was done scrubbing them to like-new condition! How many would rinse down your stairs while you were away at work, so the entryway was more presentable for the prospective buyers? Yup, you guessed it right again! By now, I suppose you would like to know more about this near mythical real-estate agent. And I will be more than happy to oblige. Let's dial the clock back a little bit, to a time that was a tad happier than 2020 had been. It was fall. The month of September, in the year of our Lord 2019. When Stacy came over for an introductory tête-à-tête, K had a feeling that she was definitely the one for us. I have no such people-reading skills so I was lukewarm to the idea until I had met and spoken with the other realtors. Stacy does not try to unnecessarily wax eloquent about how beautiful and amazing your house is (unless it really is); she was direct but always polite -- lightly sugar coating any bits of bitter pills we were handed to ingest. Which is not to say she was doomsday Sally. Au contraire! She saw the strengths, had a clear idea for our house, and was clear about what paraphernalia needed to go into storage, and what could stay and fit in with the leitmotif. She does not try to steam-roll over your ideas, suggestions, or practical limitations, seeing that we were still occupying the unit during the sale. She listened, and she unfailingly made insightful suggestions, making it very clear that she was the General Mattis to our Trump --- she will tell it like it is, but the final decision was always up to us. She made sure to take over the social-media marketing when the agency's marketing folks did not bring our expected number of visitors. The following week after she tweaked it, the number of visitors almost doubled! (I knew I should have written this sooner as a lot of details now escape me --- did I mention that I am lazy?) After the staging furniture, paintings, and sundry tchotchkes were brought over, no charge -- courtesy Stacy, and the professional photographs shot and dispersed to the digital world yonder, we finally found our buyer and placed it into pending. They saying nothing worthwhile goes butter-smooth. And that's true here too. But Stacy more than rose to the task to mitigate that. The HOA had settled a long pending case with the builder, and started a lot of exterior structural repairs --- our block was in progress when the buyer's bank decided to schedule in an appraiser. She knew that an appraiser reporting scaffoldings back to a Bank is a huge no-no hence she had to work her network to ensure that (a) the contractors made sure to complete the work by a certain day, and (b) the appraiser was persuaded to schedule in a day after the work was completed. Slippery slope negotiated like a pro! Stacy made sure to be there at the escrow office as the final papers were being completed for the transfer of title and escrow. She noticed a discrepancy and made sure the entire paperwork was corrected pronto! After we closed the sale, we negotiated with the buyer to give us a week after close, to move out. Come the final day, no matter how much we hauled, there were still more to be moved -- talk about an unwanted cornucopia! Stacy called to ask how we were doing. Upon hearing us she turned up with a boat load of cardboard boxes, wrapping paper, and the moving ability of two persons. She got us out of there within a couple of hours. Remember, the sale was closed. She was dealing with other properties. She had no business helping us move. Yet she did anyway. I would be remiss to not mention that we sold our house in the 4th quarter of the year -- the worst time of the year to sell. But Stacy sold it above the asking price in about half the time of other nearby properties -- we checked online. I couldn't recommend Stacy enough. I promise you that the next time we were to buy or sell property, hers is the first and only number we plan on calling!

Hilary is by far the best Realtor we have ever worked with, hands down. We've bought four other…read morehomes in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in our past experiences, the agents we've worked with haven't done a whole lot of legwork for us, instead placing the burden of finding a property squarely on our shoulders. What a difference with Hilary! Our first meeting with her, she drove us around and showed us neighborhoods, taking the time to go over each area in detail. When she sent us MLS listings, she was incredibly responsive when we had questions about properties we were interested in, and she always made the time to show us places we wanted to see. She even filmed a walk-through of a home for us when we weren't able to get out to see it that day. The other wonderful thing about Hilary is that she KNOWS Marin County. I'm a lifelong Bay Area resident and thought I understood the ins and outs of Marin pretty thoroughly. Well, Hilary's deep knowledge of this area blew mine completely out of the water. Because she was born and raised here, she knows the county like the back of her hand, and she understands the pros and cons of living in each of the various towns. We also loved that while Hilary highlighted the positives of the various properties, she also did not sugarcoat the negatives. Early on, there was one home near the top of our price range that we were interested in, and it would have been easy for her to make a quick sale if she just showered praise on it. Instead, while she did say positive things about the home, she also pointed out negatives we hadn't thought of, and we decided to pass. Through Hilary's hard work and diligence, we eventually found the perfect home for our family. I should also add that we were looking in a popular price range, which made the market very competitive. The house we ended up purchasing was one we had seen on the MLS but had dismissed due to a faulty assumption. Hilary suggested we go check it out, anyway, and when we saw it in person we knew it was "the one". She carefully crafted an offer for us and the home was ours. We are very grateful to Hilary for her help and expertise. She was with us through every step of the process, going above and beyond with every aspect of the experience. She was always accommodating, super proactive, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

She has been a great resource and provided a lot of terrific information and expertise as she is a Marin "Local". Hilary's knowledge of the market and solid industry connections (agents, lenders, inspectors, various contractors) was instrumental to the purchase of our first home in spring of 2022 :) After we closed escrow, Hilary was still on top of everything and assisted us by helping line us up with painters and floor refinishers. As new home buyers, we had very little experience in this and she was definitely a great help and provided guidance. We really enjoyed working with her, and definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a resourceful, patient, responsible, friendly agent. Thanks so much Hilary!
