The best decision we made when we decided to sell our Walnut Creek Eichler was enlisting Ken Fox of…read moreEast Bay Modern Real Estate as our realtor. We had met Ken at a few neighborhood open houses and always liked his demeanor, professionalism, the way his houses were staged, and, more than anything else, the fact that he was passionate about Eichlers and modern homes in general. When we talked to him about representing us, not only did he understand what he was selling, but he also knew what the buyers would be expecting. There are so many realtors who see Eichlers as just another house that sells itself. But not Ken. He knows his market, and he knows his houses. And he knows how to market it to reach the buyers. We were fortunate that he and his stager liked our house and its furniture, so there wasn't much to stage. However, the suggestions they made were spot-on. And the things we couldn't do ourselves they had fantastic people who could do them - quality work for a reasonable price. We completely trusted Ken and his team and it paid off. As is typical for the market, the sale was quick and thanks to Ken the sale price far exceeded our expectations. Throughout the whole process, Ken was professional, honest, reassuring, calm, calming (for us), and a pleasure to work with. If you want to sell your modern gem, talk to Ken and East Bay Modern first. You will have peace of mind in knowing that the sale of your home will be in great hands.

After our friends and neighbors who were selling their homes had a great experience with Ken Fox at…read moreEast Bay Modern some years back, we resolved to look Ken up once we were ready to move and downsize. Ken and his team seem to understand the aesthetic, appeal, inventory, and availability of "mid-century modern" homes like no one else in the Bay Area real estate business. Particularly if you are a Bay Area Eichler seller or aspiring Eichler buyer you certainly can't do any better than seeking out Ken Fox to represent you. When Ken put our base-model Walnut Creek Eichler on the market it rapidly drew multiple offers. We gladly accepted a great over-asking offer from a family for whom our house was a perfect fit. Win-win for us and the buyers... Contact Ken!

Doug even went out to buy us lunch, from my mother-in-laws's favorite restaurant. April and Doug have really gone above and beyond what they have to do just to sell a house. They actually care.

She is kind, patient, responsive and has an incredible work ethic. But above all these what I value most is her candor - there is no 'spin', no games, no politics, she tells it like it is and cuts right to the chase. She takes the time to get to know her clients, never rushes, and her follow through is impeccable. When it got the negotiation stage of the sale, her true mastery shined brightly. She's whip smart, savvy, and even-keeled. She advocates for her clients, but is fair and reasonable. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She's truly one-of-a-kind and will be our realtor for life!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in June and we have been working with Kellianne to view houses without being sure if we were fully ready to buy given the current market. However, with Kellianne's help in finding listings that fit our requirements we found a house we loved at an open house and we decided to put in an offer. Kellianne wrote up a competitive offer quickly to meet the deadline and was in frequent communication with the seller's agent so we knew the status of our offer. We were in the top 3 offers out of 20 offers on the house but the sellers went with an offer with no contingencies. We were discouraged by the experience but Kellianne was ready the next weekend with another round of houses to look at. We found another house that we liked even more than the last one. This time, Kellianne again guided us to make a strong offer and it was accepted! Kellianne was very helpful in explaining and arranging the inspections and during the difficult negotiations with the sellers. We were able to come to an agreement. We are excited to move into our new home and raise our children in the lovely neighborhood. We couldn't have done it without Kellianne with Karen Richardson Group.

As a first-time buyer, I heavily relied on his knowledge, compassion, and expertise. Every step of the way, Andres went above and beyond the call of duty, talked me through every detail, helped me understand the pros and cons of every house we looked at, and worked tirelessly during our search. After we literally found my dream home, it was so reassuring to see how determined Andres was to make the process of closing a faster one for me. He stayed proactive, patient, and was always willing to go the extra mile just to make sure that everything kept moving forward on my behalf, all the while ensuring that I was always kept in the loop. In addition to being an absolute professional, Andres is incredibly personable. Not once did I ever feel like he genuinely didn't have my best interest in mind, and that's what I admired the most. I am truly fortunate that I had someone like Andres by my side through the entire process. He has my highest recommendation to anyone looking to purchase a home.

And when you factor that in with a competitive housing market, you need the right realtor to get you to the finish line. When it comes to stand out agents, Stacey Isaacs is as good as they come. She knows the Piedmont/Montclair area well, from the community to the schools to even finance options. She's attentive, follows up promptly and guided us through the buying process from search to closing. But the best thing about Stacey is that she truly cares about her clients, and words can't express how grateful my husband and I are for the work that she did. She really understood our wants and needs, she'd email us new listings everyday and she visited dozens of homes with us, even when it was out of her way or inconvenient. She was always honest and candid with us about if the home was the right fit. And she went to battle for us during the negotiation process. If it wasn't for Stacey's experience, hard work and overall dedication to her clients, we would not have found the home of our dreams. If you ever decide to buy a house in the Piedmont/Montclair district, I highly recommend Stacey. Just like she did for us, she will go above and beyond for her clients in every which way and we couldn't be more satisfied working with her.

Acting as realtor, interior designer, and therapist, Stacey talked me out of a house that was utterly unsuitable for me (it didn't have a furnace, and sat crookedly on its foundation - only two of the issues!), dried my tears when I was disappointed, and fought like a tiger to ensure I got the winning bid on my new home. Nor did she abandon me when the ink was dried! She still checks in on me to this day! Stacey is organized and intelligent. Stacey has contacts that are stoked whenever she sends someone their way, because they know that Stacey represents good people. Stacey is tall and isn't afraid to wear heels. Stacey knows her stuff and lives on the corner of Kickass Circle and Bombdiggity Ave. If you have Stacey Isaacs in your corner, you can rest easy because you chose the best person available to represent your interests.

I rented a condo in SOMA that was being leased through SF Climb. What a bad experience! I made…read morevery clear to the leasing agent, Darcy, that I was looking for a place that was quiet and had very solid construction. Unfortunately, she didn't do her homework, and I ended up in a building in which I could hear every footstep, party, and barking dog from my neighbors. I ended up moving out a few months later. Incredulously, SF Climb charged the owner of the unit another leasing fee of over $2500 to find a new renter (I'm not sure why he decided to go with the same company, but it wasn't up to me - although I ended up agreeing to split the cost). They didn't even take pictures of the unit. (On the plus side, the unit was rented again quickly, but I think that speaks to the current demand for rental units rather than the work of Climb.) Seems to me like quite a racket.
