Wow, where should I start. This was our first time working with Bill Davis, but he came highly…read morerecommended by 2 friends of mine. We contacted Bill to have him check out our current property to go over what options were available (buying or renting it out) in hopes to find a larger property. We came up with a game plan. We decided to buy and sell at the same time which seems like a huge hassle/ headache, but in all reality, Bill made BOTH transactions as seamless as possible. He definitely goes to bat for his clients and communicated every little step of the way. I'm huge on communication and there was never a time where we were left out of the loop or he didn't run things by us etc. He is awesome at what he does and his marketing is OUT OF THIS WORLD. We got above asking price for our home he marketed and bought the house of our dreams. I HIGHLY recommend Bill Davis if you are looking to Buy/ Sell or even just pick his brain, he is very personable and knowledgeable. Bill, you have clients FOR LIFE. THANK YOU FOR VERY MUCH.

I'm still very impressed with Bill's knowledge and work ethic. This was our second time around…read moreworking together as he originally helped me sell my townhouse. As my partner and I work in the city during the week, Bill made himself available to show us houses when it was convenient for us. Even though we couldn't afford our dream house right out of the gate, Bill had very good ideas on how to make the houses that were in our price range work for our family. While we found the perfect (for us now) home during an open house tour, Bill worked quickly to get the best price/terms possible, also informing us of possible scenarios that could arise as the home was currently being used as a rental. He also went above and beyond walking the property with the home inspector when I absolutely could not keep that appointment, keeping me informed of the results. And after closing on our new home he one upped himself and went into his tool belt and pulled out info for great painters and pros to use. He made our transition into homeownership just as super easy and seamless as he made our townhome exit. I can't wait to work with Bill Davis again. Five star service!

From the very beginning, Priscilla was personable, professional, and genuine in her efforts to guide me to my future home. She was flexible in accommodating my unpredictable work schedule, and subsequently we managed to meet from the early morning hours to the late evening well past sunset. As a first time home buyer, she was patient and thorough towards me in explaining each step of the process, and was consistently and swiftly responsive to my plethora of emails, text messages, and phone calls. When I became discouraged after many failed offers, she was a constant source of encouragement to keep me pushing forward. She has a very gentle yet firm approach in doing business, and was a staunch advocate for me at every step. When the closing day finally arrived, she was on hand to congratulate me with a housewarming gift that literally blew me away. Now that I've finally moved into my new home, she continues to stay in touch with me to ensure that my house is in order, and she was an invaluable resource for skilled and affordable referrals for the home inspection, repairs, painting, etc. She has repeatedly reminded me that she is invested in each and every client for the long haul, long after we have received our house keys and her job is essentially done. For this reason alone, she is a truly priceless gem, both as an agent and a friend. In essence, I cannot express how much I appreciate Priscilla, and I would absolutely bestow the highest recommendation for her as a real estate agent. You will reap immeasurable benefits that extend far beyond the walls of the future dream home that she will undoubtedly lead you to find.

When the time came to sell our Julia Morgan home in the Berkeley Hills, we knew its advantages:…read moreviews, volumes, location and architectural heritage. But we also knew its challenges: old wiring, a cedar roof and, ironically, the very landmark status that gave it its cachet. Enter Megan Micco. Megan, who owns a historic home herself, knew from personal and professional experience what it would take to find the right buyer. In fact, she found us three; each offer was for all-cash, without contingencies, and well above our asking price. This, before our house even hit the market. Megan is not shy about asking for a premium price for her premium service; as seller's agent, she requires a 3.5% commission, versus other agents' 2.5%. But, in our case, the return on that incremental investment was off the charts. Your mileage may vary, but the passion and professionalism she brings to each project will not. Deep thought and partnership went into every decision we made to prepare our home for market. Within a strict budget, she helped us prioritize repairs and upgrades -roof, wiring, painting, floors, landscaping, yes; kitchen and baths, no. Each of these decisions was informed by her knowledge of the market and of fire-prevention, insurance, BESO and landmark preservation requirements. And then, as if by magic, Megan and her team made all that work happen, hiring and coordinating a dozen known vendors who did quality work for fair prices. For these time-constrained sellers, this stress-free experience alone provided fair value for the extra commission we paid. A special shout out here for Jeff Lipton and Pam Faaland, who organized and supervised this work. To be sure, we had differences along the way; one, for example, was about staging. But Megan made us understand we were staging the home for the market, not for ourselves, and that it was time to detach from a home we still loved. The emotional intelligence she brought to this transaction was invaluable. All this preparation was capped off by a smart marketing campaign, including mouth-watering photos, a sponsored article in Berkeleyside, a feature in Dwell magazine and a planned BAHA tour for preservation-minded buyers. (The tour was canceled due to our quick sale to a buyer who, we know, will give this special property the care it deserves. That mattered to us too.) Hiring an agent to sell your home is more than a business transaction; it is like entering into a relationship. Megan Micco and her team are not just the cream of the crop among real estate professionals. They are also genuinely nice people and a pleasure to work with, and we recommend them without reservation.

I recently sold my home in Berkeley with Megan Micco, and I cannot recommend her highly enough…read more I first found Megan through Berkeley Parents Network, where she had glowing recommendations from other local families. From our very first interaction, I felt a strong personal connection. She came to my home, listened carefully, and gave me honest advice about whether I should add a second story or sell. At that time, she actually recommended that I keep the house and build up, since it would likely be more cost-effective and I loved the neighborhood. That told me right away she was looking out for my best interests, not just a commission. After getting construction bids and thinking things through, I ultimately decided I really did want a change of pace. I reached back out to Megan to list my home, and that's when she truly went above and beyond. Megan put together a comprehensive, strategic marketing plan and personally oversaw key updates to the property, including a kitchen renovation and removal of knob-and-tube electrical wiring. She and her team made sure my home was positioned to attract as many buyers as possible in what was a somewhat uneven market. Throughout the entire process, Megan's communication was exceptional. She checked in with me frequently, explained each step clearly, and was incredibly responsive to my questions and concerns. Selling a home is an emotional roller coaster, but Megan's warm personality, professionalism, and steady guidance made it so much easier. She constantly reminded me to keep my eyes on the horizon, and that perspective really helped. When offer day came, her strategy paid off. We received four offers, and the top offer not only exceeded my expectations--it set a new record price per square foot in the Berkeley market. When Megan told me the final number, I literally burst into tears of joy, relief, and happiness. If you are considering selling your home, especially in Berkeley, I wholeheartedly recommend Megan Micco. She is smart, strategic, honest, deeply caring, and truly committed to her clients' best interests. Working with her turned a stressful process into a record-breaking success.
