Key Highlights: 1. Exceptional Team: I've had the pleasure of working with Wilsen, Ahyeza, Chris, Patricia, Jana, Fiona, Nikki, and Ramiro. They are professional, attentive, and easy to collaborate with. 2. Problem Solvers: One of their greatest strengths is that they never shy away from a hard problem. Whether it's a maintenance issue or a tenant concern, they tackle it head-on with a level of responsiveness that is hard to find. 3. Trusted Partnership: When you are looking for a partner to manage an investment property, creating an empathetic and caring relationship with the tenants is the most important factor. They have proven themselves to be reliable stewards of my property. Pro-Tip for Owners: Because they manage a diverse portfolio of both condos and houses, I found that providing clear context on my specific expectations for house-level marketing and maintenance from the start created a great feedback loop. Their receptiveness to this high level of communication is exactly why our partnership works so well; it ensures everyone is aligned from day one. Overall: If you need a team that is responsive and capable of handling the complexities of the Bay Area rental market, I highly recommend The Cal Agents.

I'm not sure how many times I sent out potential houses I saw on the app to Julia, but no matter what time or day Julia was always open to going with us to look at the house. I loved the honesty that came from Julia and the team. They really look over the disclosures, see if there is anything that their client should be aware of and also what they think of the property. Each individual in the team has their own speciality and I really appreciated that. Julia is well verse to the El Cerrito area, Danielle knows the Lamorinda area, and Jeffrey knows about housing structures. They would answer any questions we had and so thank you to this amazing team! We were able to find our dream home thanks to this wonderful team! Would definitely go back to them if we needed to do this all over again.

Review for Daniel Winkler…read more I've worked with Daniel Winkler for years now--he's sold somewhere between 20 and 30 homes for me, and every experience has been exceptional. I just spoke with him the other day, and he's still the same genuine, down-to-earth person I met at the start: full of integrity, professionalism, and consistency. Daniel is the kind of realtor you can trust without hesitation. He delivers results, stays true to his word, and always makes the process smooth. Beyond his proven track record, he's simply a stellar individual and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for someone who combines experience, honesty, and reliability, Daniel Winkler is the real deal. His company reflects the same values--straightforward, ethical, and committed to excellence.

When my husband and his siblings needed to sell their parents' home after 58 years of family ownership, we knew we needed someone exceptional. Sarah Ridge exceeded every expectation. Not only is Sarah an expert in the Berkeley and El Cerrito market, but she also brought together an outstanding team that made the entire process seamless. From strategic pricing and marketing to thoughtful updates, staging, and preparation, every recommendation was spot-on and designed to maximize the home's appeal and value. What impressed me most was Sarah's ability to guide our family through what was an incredibly emotional transition. She was always available, communicated clearly, and patiently walked everyone through each step of the process. Her professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence from start to finish. Thanks to Sarah's market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and excellent relationships with other agents, we received multiple offers and ultimately found the perfect buyer for this cherished family home. The entire experience could not have gone more smoothly. Sarah is constantly studying the market, touring new inventory, and maintaining strong relationships throughout the East Bay, giving her an unmatched pulse on the local real estate landscape. If you're buying or selling in Berkeley, El Cerrito, or the surrounding East Bay communities, I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. You will be in exceptional hands. Simply put, I wouldn't choose anyone else for this area.

Sarah Ridge is an excellent realtor. She has deep knowledge about the North Berkeley neighborhood…read moreand what things to watch out for in Berkeley houses. She has a lot of contacts, so she can address almost anything that can come up in the home buying process. She is very smart. Go to her website and watch her videos to see if you think she would be a good match for you. That's what we did. The best thing I can say about Sarah is that she was always looking out for our best interests. We went to some open houses on our own and were interested in making offers. Sarah pointed out to us some red flags that we had either missed or ignored. She said she would be willing to write up the offers if that's what we wanted, but she advised against it. She said this is the same advice she would have given to her daughter or a close friend if they were interested in these properties. Fortunately, we listened to her, passed on those properties, and ended up in a great house. Buying a home in the Berkeley market is always going to be stressful. My advice is to find someone like Sarah who will be reducing that stress, not adding to it.

Roughly 7 years ago, we linked up with Rosie to help us purchase our first home, and she was so helpful along the way. As we slowly started to outgrow our first home, we worked with Rosie again for a new home last year, and she was so incredibly helpful and encouraging every step of the way. Throughout both times, she was always super responsive, made time to meet with us, and answered all of our questions throughout the home-buying process. We never felt any pressure from her to act on any of the houses we visited, and she always had a calm and relaxed demeanor that put us at ease. Rosie's recommendations & suggestions for insurance providers, lenders, or handy people were also great, and definitely helped us out in a pinch. Rosie made the homebuying process a relatively simple one, and we really couldn't have it without her help. She was really flexible with our schedule, super prompt when we had any last minute questions, and feels like a long-time friend at this point. Rosie provided us invaluable + realistic information around the comps for all the homes we visited, which ultimately helped us land an awesome new home. If you're looking to buy a home, we can't recommend Rosie enough. Thank you so much, Rosie!

Selling occupied rental property is challenging and you need an agent that knows how to work well…read morewith tenants. Krista had done OK with a prior sale of a vacant condo (although in retrospect she pushed me to spend on some costly and unnecessary upgrades and I had to remind her to pursue the offer we got) so I asked her to be an agent to sell an occupied duplex. She confused the tenants such that they thought they didn't have to do showings and estoppels and tried to extort me for this and it was difficult to clear this up. Worst of all she did not supervise the inspector well so he left the oven on for about eight hours scaring the tenants when they got home and creating a serious safety issue. She claimed she took a photo of the oven showing it was off before she left but the time stamp showed the photo was in the middle of the inspection about an hour before it was done. This created much difficulty with the tenants and I had to start over with another realtor delaying the sale by about a month. I suggest using a different realtor who is more focused on your sale.
