Nick is extremely knowledgeable about the dynamic SF market. He is also very patient and responsive, and walked me through all the ins and outs of buying my first home. Would highly recommend working with him! read more

We recently utilized the services of real estate agents Sean and Jerry at The Oldham Group | Compass. They were complete professionals in every way. The real estate purchase we were evaluating was relatively small by San Francisco standards, but they treated it like it was a major transaction through their constant communication with us, market comparables evaluation, offer strategy conference call, and post-offer feedback. They struck the perfect balance between not pressuring us to make an offer we were uncomfortable with and gently needling us when they felt we needed to increase our offer to make it competitive. Although we were ultimately outbid (not due to their advice but because we held firm at a lower price), they continued to send new opportunities to us and genuinely wanted us to land a place. I enthusiastically and without reservation strongly recommend Sean and Jerry from The Oldham Group | Compass for folks' real estate needs - they were totally awesome and you will not be disappointed!! read more

Kalina Wasman is an exceptional real estate professional. When our family first met with Kalina, joined by Jennifer and Andrew Oldham from the Oldham Group, we desperately needed a real estate firm we could trust. With a previous agent, our home sat on the market for more than 45 days without receiving the offers and attention enjoyed by other houses in the area. Kalina quickly assessed the situation and came up with a strategic marketing plan, relying on her extensive experience and knowledge of the local real estate market. From the first meeting, Kalina and the Oldham Group inspired confidence, outlining a proposal and timeline to relaunch the house quickly and successfully. Kalina demonstrated a command of significant online real estate marketing platforms, explaining how to use them advantageously as a promotional tool. Mindful of timing and the funds already spent to bring the house to market, Kalina carefully determined and emphasized the importance of a few budget-friendly ways to highlight the house's appeal. Kalina's creative vision, attention to detail, and organizational skills were top notch. She was upbeat and intelligent, promptly responding to emails and texts and patiently answering questions. Kalina also was collaborative, including us in meetings and discussions about home staging, landscaping, and repairs. Whether annotating home inspection reports or considering marketing materials, Kalina had clever ideas that improved the sales process. She managed the schedule smoothly, ensuring that all work was on track and keeping us informed as to the progress. Kalina handled the open houses herself and kept potential buyers excited about the home. She anticipated any concerns buyers might have, ready to provide reassuring, straightforward solutions. Kalina didn't let a sales opportunity pass her by, extending an open house for buyers who arrived shortly after it ended and accommodating other agents to show the house upon request. We could count on Kalina to call after an open house ended with a full update and her typical positive energy. Kalina and the Oldham Group promised they would generate a buzz and positive momentum for the house, and they delivered. Within a few days after the first open house, our home received seven offers, all well over the list price. During the offer process, Kalina expertly evaluated offers and negotiated on our behalf, demonstrating the skill and integrity we had come to expect. Jennifer and Andrew Oldham provided an added layer of advice and support. Thanks to outstanding representation by Kalina and the Oldham Group, the house sold for almost 12% over the list price. Kalina is a star, and her sensitive handling of the sale of our beloved family home meant the world to us. We wholeheartedly recommend Kalina and the Oldham Group. read more

Samantha Mazurek was a real pleasure to work with. She looked out for all of our interests making sure that we were able to complete our purchase in a short time.

Love, amazing, obsessed! I do not have enough words to describe the amazing experience we had with Kelsey and Andy from the Oldham Group! My husband and I particularly appreciated: - Communication: as home buyers for the 1st time in California, we knew absolutely nothing. Kelsey took the time explain the process + answer any questions we had in a deeply communicative and patient manner - Expertise: our home buying experience was not the smoothest due to a difficult seller + one particular incompetent sellers agent. Andy's expertise with real estate law came in very handy as he guided us in the right direction. He was always willing to hop on a call with us, explain the situation, and provide his expert opinion. Without this, we wouldn't have been able to close - Connections: the team always suggested top notch vendors - whether it be contractors or lawyers. The Oldham Group is equipped with a solid network that is always available to their buyers - Positive attitude: our home search ended up lasting 4-5 months, and Kelsey always maintained a positive attitude throughout. We closed, and she's still helping us answer questions + keeping in touch Look no further, go with this team! Thank you Kelsey and Andy! read more

It was a pleasure working with Ivy Eatmon throughout our first home buying process. She was so patient and flexible with us, always responsive whenever we had any questions. She is very knowledgeable about the process and has so many resources to share! We knew nothing about the process before we started the house hunt. Now, looking back; we had the best mentor to guide us through one step at a time. Ivy gave us her true opinion about the homes we saw and worked throughout the day to make sure we had open houses to see and had a game plan. She was more stressed than we were! Not stopping even one second to help us push through and getting things done. We would definitely recommend Ivy to our friends and family if they are looking to purchase a home, or even just for questions. Overall, The Oldham Compass Group has been great throughout the whole process, providing feedback and encouragement and any real estate needs. read more

Tate was our agent for over two years since starting our search for a new home. Against the market and with a humble budget, Tate always provided five -star service. Countless times we would send him addresses of perspectives properties and he always provided the information promptly. No matter the time of day. His dedication was beyond our expectation, his ability to represent us during several negotiations resembled that of a lawyers ability which gave us confidence to work with him during this last purchase and in the future. Tate and his team is what you want in an agent. We can't express our gratitude enough for the service and expertise he provided. read more

Jerry Rice Jr. is a highly professional and personable realtor who was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was instantly responsive and proactively communicative throughout the process of viewing, discussing, negotiating, and securing the purchase of a SF condo that we fell in love with. Jerry was knowledgeable about the pricing of condos in the SF area, recommended a reasonable offer and counter-offer that led to the seller's acceptance of our offer, over multiple other offers. In less than two weeks, Jerry navigated all the necessary steps that began with the initial showing to the final closing. We also appreciated that he scheduled a contractor to meet with us to discuss some construction questions we had. The icing on the cake was after closing, when Jerry brought us a lovely gift package. We whole- heartedly recommend Jerry and would gladly work with him again! read more

We recently sold our home in the Bay Area and couldn't be happier with Julie Alsaegh at the helm!

Julie handled all the details of selling a home and guiding us through our first sale like a consummate professional, down to having the contacts and details for last minute fixes, construction, and staging. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the market and comparisons and was able to lead us to our goal. Her advice about all the things we needed to do was on point and we left the experience with a new friend. We cannot recommend Julie enough!

I worked with Bryan Brash from the Oldham Group. Bryan did an outstanding job being the buyer agent for a house I purchased in Bernal Heights in SF. The whole process took about 4-5 months. He was very patient with us and scheduled private tours so that we can bring the entire family (and sometimes even structural engineers). From the beginning of the process, I felt like Bryan was on my side. He gave his honest opinion about properties and what risk we were taking with certain properties. He was also very responsive and punctual for the open houses. I have started to refer Bryan to my close friends and family. He was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a property. read more

I am so impressed and happy with how our experience with the process of what should be a stressful time was actually exciting.

They are deserving of more than 5 starts for sure. read more

From finding a home my way, to his connections, to knowing the process like the back of his hand, to just answering random questions I had at any hour of the day, Nick was there and was amazing to work with.

If going above and beyond has a name, it is Nick Salvadore at the Oldham Group. He helped us buy in Redwood City and was extraordinary in every way: communication was lightning fast; his competence and knowledge of real estate is stellar; and when it came to communicating/advocating/negotiating on our behalf, whether it be with the seller or the with the bank or with escrow, he was phenomenal. There was absolutely no problem that he did not have a solution to. He also has a lot of contacts that he was able to utilize on our behalf when needed. Nick is a consummate professional and his follow-through was exceptional. We cannot say enough good things about him. As first time homebuyers we felt that we were in excellent hands and felt cared for. We highly recommend Nick to anybody looking to buy in the bay area.

I worked with Caitlin Yates for a few months in purchasing my first home and I could not be happier to have met her and the Oldham Group! I initially wasn't sure if I was looking for a primary residence or investment property or if I even wanted to purchase a property in the first place which made the search somewhat difficult. Caitlin was very patient with me throughout the process and did a good job of checking in with me when I would let purchasing fall to the back of my mind. Caitlin was also very attentive and responsive. Whenever I found a property I was interested in she was very quick to get more information and answer any questions that I had as well as setting up any showings. Caitlin was also active in searching for off market opportunities that fit what I was looking for. Her team lead, Andrew Oldham, was also readily available anytime I needed. They were both great at explaining tradeoffs of different places. When we finally settled on a property, some issues came up during escrow. Caitlin and Andrew made sure I was always protected and went in extreme detail explaining the circumstances. I always felt that they had my best interests at heart and I appreciated learning about some interesting real estate scenarios. They were able to negotiate a better purchase price for me and I was so excited to move in! I'm really thankful for Caitlin, Andrew, and the Oldham Group and would definitely recommend them to anyone purchasing in the Bay Area! read more

I had the absolute joy of purchasing my Bay Area home with Nick Salvadore as my realtor. His candor, integrity, skill, and problem-solving attitude were frankly inspiring, and on full display throughout the process. In the early stages of my search, he came to each viewing impeccably prepared with neighborhood info, comp data, negotiation strategies, and items to have clarified by the listing agent. I couldn't have felt more confident that I was making a decision with full information. Once we found "the one", Nick worked long hours to negotiate an offer that was significantly below asking. Then throughout the closing process, Nick kept all the gears greased by staying in constant communication with the lender, title company, listing agent, HOA, etc. Even with his plate full, he made me feel like I was his only client. With Nick being so on-the-ball, I was able to conduct this whole transaction with minimal interruption to my work & personal life. I'll be back again and again, and urge anyone buying or selling in the Bay Area work with Nick. read more

I worked with James Laden Twice, As I initially wanted to sell my house in late 2022 but changed my mind. and James stood beside me understanding my concerns . James Laden has exceeded my expectations twice by now. First as my listing agent 4 months ago. He sold my home for over asking price in just THREE days in my subdivision . AND I was out of state and he handled everything for me Seamlessly. Including, taking care of my house with painters and contractors that got the house ready for sale. Now I've moved to Tennessee and needed a very attentive agent to have excellent detail and communication. He found the perfect buyers/multiple offers for me to decide (with many competing offers) in 3 days. He also got a closing in 26 days. Again, miraculous in this market. He has even provided references for excellent contractors to remodel the home in a reasonable timeframe. The most amazing thing about James is that he cares. He was very genuine, He truly cared about my first home. It doesn't matter to him if you are a buyer or seller or if you are a $200k buyer or a million dollar buyer. You are treated exactly the same. I'm so grateful for him. I believe he has realtor superpowers and the heart of a giant. You cannot go wrong with James Laden and that million dollar smile. read more

Jennifer and Andrew Oldham represented us on the purchase of our home in a very competitive neighborhood in South San Jose, Almaden Valley. They were extremely knowledgeable of the area, the schools, the comps, and walked us through what we needed to do in order to place an offer on the home. They had an amazing lender contact who was great to work with and quick to get us pre approved last minute. When it came to reviewing disclosures they got on a call with us and walked through all the parts that could be concerning and we drafted a competitive offer. Since we were competing against many other parties, they were in constant communication with the listing agent which come to find out is super important! After a few counters we got the home of our dreams and it truly was because of them. We can't thank them enough, they are the best real estate agents in the Bay Area who have a huge supporting team to walk you through every step of the way and always have your best interest. Thank you Oldham Group! read more

Early on in our home buying journey, my husband and I requested to view a home he had found on Zillow. The place wasn't for us, but we were fortunate to have been paired with Jerry Rice for that viewing. We knew immediately that he was someone we were comfortable working with. Jerry is everything one would want in a buyer's agent; responsive, flexible and patient. What sets him apart is a winning personality that makes him such a pleasure to work with and be around. His affable nature and team-oriented mindset made our process efficient and enjoyable! He was quick to schedule viewings and respond to our inquiries, and never indicated that he felt a property we didn't "vibe with" was time wasted. When we were ready to move forward on the offer process, Jerry was enthusiastically guiding us through the ordeal. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jerry Rice to anyone looking to buy (or sell!) a home in the Bay Area. He's absolutely phenomenal. read more

This team of professionals can help you more than you know. Thanks Jennifer and Andrew. read more
