Jill helped us find a wonderful home in the Oakland Hills. She was professional and helpful. read more

If you're looking for a white glove and turnkey service to sell your house in the Oakland Hills market, look no further than Jill. When we first had Jill visit the property in mind, she demonstrated her deep understanding of the nuances of the market, and wowed us with her creative ideas as to best position our home to command top dollar. As we had already relocated, Jill took on all project management responsibilities as she got the house ready, communicating with us regularly and transparently. Lastly, her ability to market the property adeptly resulted in a fair and equitable price point where all parties involved walked away with a good feeling. There is no doubt in my mind that Jill deserves all the credit for our house doing as well as it did - and she did this all while being the consummate professional. read more

We located Jill via a performative search of past listings and sale prices in the Montclair area. Jill partnered with Tiffany LeFour and wow what a team. We were under a unique set of circumstances that required an extremely fast turnaround on preparation work including renovations, marketing, etc. Jill and Tiffany were able to assemble a plan that facilitated our timing request sand executed professionally with absolutely no issues. We were able to achieve the "top end" of our projected comparison range and closed in an unbelievably short time frame. Hands down, a fantastic experience and would recommend both to anyone who are looking to achieve a balanced return on the sale of a property. read more

Thank you, Jill. Your diligence, rigor and generosity far exceeded any of my expectations. We really could not have done it without you and you earned every penny of your commission. If you ever want to use me as a client reference, I'd be more than happy to do that. read more

There are only a few instances in ones life when you meet someone professionally but end up befriending them for life. Jill has not only been our real estate agent but also a great friend. Jill Carrigan, you are truly an amazing person and we are so grateful to you for helping us with our first home hunt. This was our first time dealing with a real estate agent and after speaking with a few, we reached out to Jill and trust me, moving forward with Jill for our home buying needs was one of the best decisions we made. She is passionate, a true professional and works for the betterment of her clients. During this highly competitive market, Jill guided us at every step and helped us stay calm even when we our bids weren't selected. From day one, Jill insisted that we take our time to make a decision about a house and not rush into one. We can attest to Jill's mantra: She is not in the business of selling houses. She is in the business of helping you find your next home. read more

We were first time home buyers and Jill held our hand through the entire process. She never pressured us even when we saw houses that checked all the boxes but we knew they weren't for us. She often said "you have to love the house and I want you to be happy when I hand you the keys". In the end, we found a home we loved and she was there with a bottle of champagne and a set of keys to our new home! Jill genuinely cares and continues to go above and beyond even after the closing. She introduced us to her own vetted service pros (flooring, painters etc.) and is ALWAYS available to answer questions. One of things we most appreciate about Jill is that she is consistently responsive -- if she can't answer your call, she texts back within a few mins to acknowledge the message and calls back when she said she would. We trust Jill completely and are so grateful that we had her on our side through the home buying (and now, renovation) process. We'd be happy to speak to anyone considering Jill! read more

Jill did an outstanding job as our agent, selling our house in the Oakland hills. We relocated to the Portland/Vancouver area, and Jill did a masterful job every step of the way, from preparation, to staging/listing, to the sale and close. We are so grateful for her skills and abilities, I don't know how we would have done this with another agent. Our house sold in 6 days, and we had to manage all of this from another state. Jill is the ultimate professional, and is an incredibly nice and helpful person throughout the process. We can highly recommend Jill to anyone who is looking for the best. Thanks, Jill, for everything. We appreciate all that you did for us. read more

It's my pleasure to give Jill Carrigan my highest recommendation. We have done 4 transactions together and we think the world of her. My wife and I met Jill in 2000 when we were looking to buy our first house. With Jill's help, we were able to get a great house in Redwood Heights neighborhood of Oakland for under the asking price, in the midst of a very competitive market. In the fall of 2007, we decided to move to Piedmont, and Jill helped us write an offer that edged out 4 other offers in another very competitive market. Jill helped us ready our Redwood Heights house for sale in early 2008, and although the market advantage was turning in favor of buyers, we had multiple offers and were very happy with the result. Everything went smoothly in these three transactions, and Jill was a pleasure to work with. So, we had no hesitation in deciding that Jill would be our agent again when it was time to sell our Piedmont house. She helped us prepare during late 2021 and early 2022, with her amazing team of landscapers, painters, stagers, and photographers. Jill's vision, talent, and organization resulted in a sale that had thirteen offers and exceeded our highest hopes. While that kind of result cannot be promised for every transaction, you can be confident in Jill's advice and experience and know that she'll help you achieve the best outcome for the current market. You'll get to do that with a person that you enjoy working with, that you can trust, and who really understands the local micro markets and current trends. She is really a great person and agent! read more

I am writing to extol praise on my great collaboration with Jill Carrigan in selling my Oakland home. Jill was recommended by a good friend after the sale of his home. I found Jill to be personable and professional from the first interaction. With our first walk through she was able to give me honest feedback with her recommendations of what it would take to make the house most presentable and likely to bring in the best offers. She is knowledgeable about the properties in my neighborhood so that any improvements would likely help to make my listing competitive and desirable. She was right every step of the way. She assured me that any money spent on improvements would bring in offers that would exceed my investments. This turned out to be true. In fact, there were moments after seeing the completed work with staging that I questioned if I was doing the right thing in selling. Of course, my story ends in a very satisfying way. I can go on and on about Jill, but I must also give a lot of credit to her team of professionals who she recommended in the home renovations, design recommendations and staging. Every one of these individuals was pleasant to work with and extremely competent in the execution of their work. Selling a home can be an emotional journey. Having Jill at my side was comforting and reassuring. There were moments of angst, especially as I realized the cost of some of our renovations. But in the end I was rewarded with multiple offers that brought this adventure to a most pleasing conclusion. read more

As a second time homebuyer, I can strongly recommend Jill Carrigan as a real estate agent. Of course, it's a big decision, and there's bound to be stress, but Jill did a great job helping us hold it together. I was impressed by her familiarity with the market, her solid advice about all aspects of the process, and her steadiness throughout the journey. It took us a while to find the right place, but when we did, it ended up being a week long negotiation and a 21-day close. Jill was in constant communication with us and on top of the negotiations with the sellers. My wife and I felt very comfortable knowing that Jill was with us every step of the way. read more

We didn't have YELP back in 2001 but that's where the story starts with a review about a wonderful experience that took place back in 2001, can you believe it ? In 2001 I wanted to sell my Montclair home and knew very little about the process, so I started by walking into the first Real Estate office I found in Montclair Village. Well, who do you think was at the front desk ?Jill Carrigan, boy, little did I know how fortunate I was. First of all I met someone that made me feel at ease and as I think I am a good judge of character (I was right) I felt I had met a very honest person. I listed my house with Jill and she went above and beyond to make it ready but NEVER did she make a decision without my approval. On top of that I got more for my house than we had hoped for. This kind of care and support is why after almost 20 years I stay in touch with Jill. I would recommend Jill to anyone who needs a Professional, Honest, Caring Realtor. read more

We recently worked with Jill to sell our house, and she is indeed a master of her craft. We knew we wanted to work with her the moment she first met us at our house, and immediately told us all the things we could do to optimize our listing. She is professional, sharp, and to the point. Plus, she puts in the work and hustles every step of the way. She respects your opinion certainly, but she isn't a luke warm agent that isn't sure what to do. She was precise from first meeting through closing. She has a great design taste, and even helped us to project manage a fairly sizable renovation, helping us find contractors and designers to make the project work. I have no idea what we would have done without her! read more

Whew. Six months later, I still have these moments where I reflect on what an amazing realtor Jill is and how eternally grateful we are. Because it's never just a "house" right?? It's always so much more. Our day-to-day life has completely changed because Jill was able to pull us through. Our transactions, both of them, NEVER would have happened without her. Jill truly wants what is best for your family. She's not about the easy sale that may not be the right sale for her clients. It's incredibly rare to find this quality as your advocate in real estate where the more money spent with the least amount of effort is the goal. She is tirelessly patient, honest and always available. She will be your best offense and defense but plays by the rules, therefore garnering much respect in the industry. Her intuitive, negotiating genius when crisis occurs is bar none. During the most delicate negotiations, she was able to keep the door open and ball rolling. Please take the time to read the other reviews. They are spot on with clear consistency: kind, professional, meticulous and a calm influence with expert advice. She's an amazing realtor and an exceptional person. THANK YOU SO MUCH JILL!!! read more

After meeting with a few real estate agents, I decided to go to Yelp for suggestions and found Jill Carrigan. The moment I met her I knew instantly she was the perfect person to help me sell my Piedmont home. Jill is so easy to work with, down to earth, extremely knowledgeable about real estate in the Bay area, and has great design taste. She helped me do a mini-remodel of a bathroom and helped with all the decisions regarding paint, paint colors, and updates recommended to make the house look it's best. Jill had numerous contractors and handymen that were reliable, reasonable and fast. She helped me find a great stager that made the house look beautiful. I would recommend Jill in a heartbeat to anyone thinking of putting their house on the market or looking to bye one. Jill is a true jewel! read more

Jill is a very nice person who aims to please. She is extraordinarily good at sales and is excellent at negotiation. But, we strongly recommend you employ a real estate attorney and not put all trust in the Grubb Company. If you have a home to sell in the Bay Area, we can strongly recommend Jill and the Grubb Company ONLY if you have a real estate attorney at your side from Day 1. read more

Entrusted the sale of my home to Jill under less than ideal circumstances She took care of all the presale prep the house looked great got multiple offers. She is a total professional, well connected, great to work with with fabulous communication skills. without doubt best experience I've ever had in a real estate transaction. Don't negotiate her commission just hire her. read more

Jill Carrigan. To know her is to love her. My husband and I relocated to the Bay area for new jobs and after renting for a year decided to explore the idea of buying our first home. With all the reports of the crazy housing crisis in the Bay Area we were anything but optimistic about finding a single family home in Oakland that would give our family of 4 enough space in a decent neighborhood and with modest incomes. We couldn't compete with all cash offers so we needed a savvy real estate agent to help us. Enter Jill Carrigan. She was referred to us by two different co-workers who purchased a home in Oakland with her and from our very first meeting I was impressed. As Oakland transplants her knowledge of the Oakland hills was impressive and she patiently explained to us the (non-judgmental) facts about the pros/cons of the various neighborhoods. What we also loved about her was that although we would not be her most lucrative client and she works regularly with multi-million dollar homes, she seemed just as eager and invested in us finding a home for our growing family. She spent several weekends touring with us and quickly figured out what we needed (Space!). She helped us to be creative and envision how a less than ideal home could work for us but also pushed us to stay in our target area of the Oakland Hills when we started to feel like we would have to settle for another city further out to afford a home. When we were finally ready to pull the trigger and write an offer, Jill was very strategic. She didn't say what we wanted to hear, she told us the straight up truth about what terms we needed to have an accepted offer. I was shocked that our first offer was countered in this market and less than 4 months after working with Jill we put a second offer that was accepted and we were thrilled and shocked that our housing search was relatively pain-free! Now that we are settling into our new home, Jill still reaches out from time to time, just to say hi. She is one of our most trusted sources for referrals for contractors and local businesses as we put the finishing touches on our new home. I honestly don't know where we would be without Jill Carrigan and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Oakland. read more

Jill Carrigan is a real estate dynamo. She has represented us as both buyers and sellers, and those experiences were better than we could have imagined. As a buying agent, she was incredibly patient while we explored inventory. She educated us on the market and nuances of various East Bay neighborhoods. In the Bay Area, few people get a slam-dunk their first time shopping for a house, and Jill knows how to help you focus, be realistic about your options, and stay optimistic. In the end, we got the house we loved and lived in it for 10 years. As a selling agent, Jill was amazing. There is a lot to do when you put your house on the market if you want it to fetch top dollar. Jill instinctively knew everything we should do (the RIGHT things; nothing excessive) and helped us plan and stay organized. She also knew exactly who to call - from painters, to contractors, to stagers, to photographers, to inspectors - so our house looked perfect and there were no surprises. In the end, our house got 13 offers and sold for far more than we ever expected to get. I can honestly say this is purely due to Jill's experience and know-how. Real estate in the Bay Area is daunting, to say the least. You need an advocate like Jill who knows her stuff and can help you navigate the murky waters. She's also a terrific person and fun to be around, which matters because buying/selling a home is a very personal and emotional experience. We'd work with Jill again in a heartbeat! read more

Jill Carrigan is by far the best realtor I have had done business with - a great listener and punctilious communicator, pragmatic and creative, super-conscientious, and meticulous about details - the ultimate professional. She knows and understands the psychology of both sellers and buyers in this overheated market and has deep local knowledge of the area. More importantly, she guided us through the sometimes emotional experience of selling our much-loved home of 15 years (we are downsizing to Sonoma County) with really useful advice, gentle patience, and a great sense of humor. Jill was able to access and manage all the resources we needed to bring the house to market in really impressive style. She was referred to us by close friends and neighbors whose home sold in less than a week. Our home got 6 offers in a week! I just wish that there were 6 stars on Yelp. read more

Jill Carrigan is fantastic. She was recommended to us by friends who sold their Claremont Hills home. They couldn't say enough nice things about Jill and the process. What stuck out to me when we first met was her professionalism, knowledge, confidence and kindness. I immediately sensed a great energy that seemed like some fused combination of determination and grace. I felt immediately that we would work well together. Jill had little time to help us finalize the prep of our home before listing. She jumped in and took all of the stress and inconvenience out of it. She asked for a set of keys and met with all of the contractors, stagers, painters and handy men on behalf keeping the project on track. Jill's stepping in allowed us to stay at work and focus on the details associated with the new home we had just purchased. At the times that we didn't occupy the house during marketing, Jill came over, watered the plants and took care of my two cats. Jill really knew the things to do to make the marketing time more comfortable. The sale was not without challenge. It's in the issues where you see the strengths of your agent. Out of nowhere we had a structural engineer do a flip flop versus his prior report creating less than ideal disclosures and a lot of stress. Additionally and unexpectently our house went on the market with 6 other comparable homes. This wasn't expected. Things were stressful for at least a week digesting these issues and their implications. Through that entire time Jill was calm, resourceful and extremely helpful. She accessed peers and experts to help us better determine our next move. She provided her recommendation - but did not force it down on us. She gave alternatives. Her recommendation was right on. We sold with multiple offers. Jill followed it all of the way through to the end. Jill is meticulous with detail and expert communicator and a strong negotiator. She is also a warm person who really wants the best for her clients, understanding how important "home" is to us all. If you are looking for an agent in Oakland, Berkeley and Montclair - I'd highly recommend Jill Carrigan. read more

Jill is an absolute master of her craft. She led us through the process of selling our home with a smile. She was always up beat and reassuring. She's a true professional. Our home sold with an all cash offer, a 15 day close and for our asking price! We couldn't be happier. Thank you Jill and The Grubb Co. read more

Jill Carrigan of GrubbCo is a gem in the Oakland Hills. Her prodigious skills, knowledge and abilities as a realtor and her passion for home sales defined all facets of our recent transaction. In March 2021, our "faith" in our own property for sale, as an older home, was just not there. However, Jill saw something in our home that we did not. She convinced us as sellers to improve our property leading to a brilliant listing this July. Through Jill's leadership a pre-listing remodel then spun to exciting as we witnessed our property literally transforming itself before our own eyes. She wisely marketed the home around the bay views views through the oak trees, the sanctuary of the patio and lawn as well as the privacy and tranquility of a backyard in Oakland. Jill was always there for us immediately with answers to our many questions throughout. This was particularly important as sellers since we reside outside of the East Bay. Her outreach and support team so effectively choreographed all the many preparations to bring the property to a hassle-free listing this July. All on schedule, on scope and on budget. At the conclusion, we realized an extremely favorable sales price. Everyone was pleased - sellers, buyers and realtors. Cannot say enough good things about Jill Carrigan. read more

Jill is an amazing real estate agent and so much more. She helped us buy our home in late 2013, and we could not be happier. Jill took the time to really understand my wife and I and what we wanted in a home. In fact, she helped us define what we wanted and needed by helping us build our must have / nice to have lists, validating it against real homes that we visited, and most importantly by listening and communicating with us through the process. COMMUNICATION. On that last point, Jill is an amazing communicator and project manager. She'll use phone, email, alerts (whatever your prefer) to always and regularly keep you updated of new homes on the market. And once you find a home, she will take all the time and effort to guide you through the buying process. CLOSING. We went through 5 formal offers with her, and she patiently and efficiently got us through the process each time. She spent the right amount of time educating us about the process, etc. But she also had a tremendous respect for our time. My wife and I both work, so we could not afford to waste any time. EXTRAS. In addition to showing us homes and neighborhoods, Jill was a tremendous help once we purchased our house. She helped us turn our house into a home by recommending painters, landscapers, designers, fencing, etc. We consider ourselves lucky enough to call Jill a friend and someone we trust, and we highly recommend her to our closest friends and to anyone who asks. read more

We met a few realtors before choosing Jill and I am beyond thankful we went with her. To put it lightly she made our dreams come true! Now it was not all dreamy the whole process of getting a house ready. I had a few freak outs but she was on the phone or in person to calm me down within the hour. It was our first home we were listing. We'd renovated the house ourselves. It was our first baby. Love, sweat and tears went to that house. We'd brought two children into the world in that south Berkeley home. But it was time to move on so we listed. Jill turned our gem of a house into a diamond! She has people to do everything! We were getting it ready on a budget so we choose professionals for some of the work and some we did. Jill worked with us to figure that out. She had great advice and insight on what was most important to make the house shine. And we got 11 offers. 11!!! All over asking price. The top 40% over. My heart jumped the day the offers came in. To sum it up Jill is lovely a fun smart business woman who knows the biz like the back of her hand. We couldn't be happier! read more

I knew when we met Jill that she would help us find a perfect house! As first time home buyers she helped us feel comfortable and understand the process. She kept us going through ups and downs. She knew everyone involved in real estate in the area and she was so knowledgeable about all of the neighborhoods! Even after we bought our house she referred us to inspectors, roofers and contractors when we asked for help. She even gave us restaurant recommendations! It was like having a great friend who you could trust to help you make great choices and be successful at buying in a difficult market. We love our home and we love our neighborhood and we love knowing that Jill is there for us when we have any questions or when we are ready to sell or buy again. read more

To say Jill Carrigan is a spectacular realtor is an understatement...she is beyond that! Her professionalism, project management skill, eye for interior design, ability to listen and assess the needs of a client has helped us close four transactions in nine years. She successfully helped us purchase our starter to dream home and each were in competitive and/or multiple offer scenarios. A few years ago Jill helped us in a transaction where we were the sellers. Anyone who has ever sold a house can tell you it is no easy task...and with an infant, Christmas holiday and a recession economy, it was downright daunting. Jill made it happened and educated us through the entire process. We could not have done it without her. What stands out most about Jill is her integrity. She treats you with respect and is thorough and thoughtful. Working with her, you know she has your back. We have referred our friends to Jill and like us they have become fans! A&N read more

Jill is outstanding! She helped us sell our house in Montclair and buy our dream home in another part of the Oakland Hills. She guided us through and coordinated the entire process and was always available to answer questions and follow up on everything in a very timely fashion. She educated us on what was happening each step of the way, what we needed to do, and what to expect. We trusted Jill 100% because she had so much experience and gave excellent advice, which made every decision so much easier. It's more than just a job for her; she wants you to be happy and really listens and builds a relationship with you to make it a positive experience. Jill is more than a realtor, she is an honest, smart, organized, and open individual that you can trust and respect. She knows her stuff and we are lucky to have found her. We would highly recommend her as a realtor for buying and selling a home. read more

As first time homebuyers, we would highly recommend Jill Carrigan. She was our second realtor and calling her was the best decision we could have made in the arduous process. Jill came recommended by a friend, whom we should have listened to much sooner, as she truly made miracles happen for us. Jill is extremely intelligent, hard-working, and professional. She is personable and kind, yet direct and explicit. Her communication throughout the entire journey was of note; she made herself available at all times for calls and responded to texts and emails promptly. She explained every part of the process clearly and always made sure we felt comfortable. Jill had a multitude of resources to draw upon at all stages of the process. As teachers, we could not easily miss work for a few hours; she made herself readily available to meet contractors, plumbers, and the like in order to make things less demanding and more convenient for us. Truly, and what made such a difference to us, was that we felt as though Jill genuinely cared about our family finding the perfect home. She gave us great advice and when it came time to present offers she was well prepared and ahead of the game. The relationship she formed with the seller's agent proved to be key in our bid getting accepted. Even after closing, Jill continues to check on us to see if there is anything that we might need. Our young son still asks about Jill and whether we will see her on the weekend. We strongly recommend Jill and wouldn't hesitate to use her if we found ourselves in this process again Thanks so much you guys! read more

We recently sold our house in the Glenview District of Oakland. We were represented by Jill Carrigan of The Grubb Co. The sale was a full circle experience so to speak, since Jill also represented us as buyers in 2001. We were doing a 1039 exchange and were running short on time. We lost out on several bids. It was more of a seller's market then, compared to the present. Up against time, we decided to look for a "fixer". Jill was in lock step with us and in a day had a number of "fixers" for us to see. Within a week we were able to purchase a house. When we were ready to list this house Jill distinguished herself 12 years earlier by stopping by a couple of times and asking our daughter (who was renting the house from us) how things were going and if everything was okay. We felt this attentiveness speaks volumes about how she represents her clients. Selling a house requires a lot of attention to details and requires an agent one can trust. From marketing material, staging, painting, repairs, and inspections, Jill scheduled and coordinated all of the work. Literally, we gave Jill the key and it all flowed. Jill did her job professionally and efficiently. She was in communication with us giving frequent updates or suggesting how to best navigate a bump in the road. Through Jill's efforts, we received 8 offers, all above asking (lowest 14%, highest 21%). The highest was also the most solid offer with no loan contingency. I believe the sale price set a record for the size of the house in the Glenview area. Do we recommend Jill Carrigan and The Grubb Co.? You betcha. Jeff and Edie W. read more

Jill is absolutely amazing and will do what it takes to get your house sold for the best price. I appreciated everything she did to sell my house during a slow market period. I really enjoyed working with Jill, and very grateful for how hard she worked to get us to the finishing line. I was so impressed with Jill's efforts to push things through quickly and effectively. Not only is she professional and extremely competent, but she is considerate, thoughtful, even-keeled, and just a pleasure to work with. I really felt that Jill was looking out for my interests, and I appreciated that she walked me through all the steps in the process, with patience and thoughtfulness. Jill listened to my concerns, and addressed them with understanding and empathy. I would 100% recommend Jill to anyone. read more

Jill Carrigan is truly an exceptional realtor. There aren't enough stars or space to truly capture how grateful we are to have worked with her as our listing agent. Not only is she an expert in her field, with an intuition about situations and people, she is also an incredibly gracious and thoughtful person who's an absolute joy to work with. Her clear, organized approach transformed what can be a stressful process (selling a home) into a manageable step-by-step roadmap that resulted in multiple offers, all of which were significantly over our asking price. Every recommendation she made - from staging to window cleaning - was matched with competitive quotes from respected professionals in the field who executed impeccably. It is rare to find a professional like Jill... her integrity, meticulous attention to detail, and expertise is unmatched. We are busy professionals who at the time of the sale of our home were managing heavy travel and numerous personal and professional projects, and entrusted our process to Jill without any hesitation. Even with all the various vendors to juggle and the hundreds of prospective realtors and buyers who went through our home in a short time period, she was always available and never dropped the ball. She provided us thorough updates throughout the process and made us feel comfortable with every decision along the way. In fact, she spent countless hours with us, including sitting through day-long inspections so she could learn the house just as well as we knew it, to answer all prospective buyers' questions. Even though she had multiple listings and other clients to juggle like all successful realtors, we always felt we had her full attention - which is truly a gift in this modern day and age. Selling a home, especially one you've poured your heart and soul into, is a significant and costly decision which requires the right representation. We highly recommend Jill - you truly can't choose a better realtor. We are not ones to write reviews (in fact, this is our first and only!) but Jill is deserving of all the most glowing accolades one can write. She has earned our utmost trust and confidence, which inspired us to share our experience to an audience beyond our immediate family and friends... some of whom have already purchased homes through Jill in the ensuing months! read more

Our family home in the Oakland Hills recently sold for $450,000 above the asking price and for more than we expected. The buyers paid all cash and the deal closed in less than a month from the first open house. Jill Carrigan supported us even before we started fixing up our family home to sell by doing her best to help our tenants find alternative housing. Jill and the stager she recommended, Bonnie Pearson, were clear about which changes to the home would make it more appealing to current buyers. Jill was also clear about what changes would not increase the value of our home in the eyes of potential buyers. Jill recommended a number of craftsman for us to work with who were reasonably priced and good at what they do. We three siblings selling the house were not always that easy to work with but Jill showed remarkable diplomatic skills. We highly recommend Jill if you're looking for an experienced and successful real estate agent. read more

Where do I even begin ... Jill Carrigan was an amazing advocate for us in the purchase of our home and I highly recommend her to buyers and sellers interested in finding a skilled realtor to represent them in a Bay Area transaction. To give you a bit of context, I am a lawyer and I have high standards for the professionals that I work with. Our new home is in a highly sought-after Oakland neighborhood and we are currently experiencing a very competitive market. I am convinced that we would not have been able to purchase our home if Jill hadn't been our advocate. Despite the fact that other bidders had higher offers, the sellers accepted our offer (and the bank accepted our offer in short sale) because Jill was on top of the process, presented our offer in the best light, and advised us how to make our offer the most competitive. Jill is an extremely skilled real estate professional with an enormous amount of integrity that was able to help us navigate a very complex transaction. It's no surprise to me that every rating on Jill's Yelp page so far is 5 stars. read more
