Okay, folks...there's another star in the real estate firmament!…read more We went to a number of open houses in our area today.I know, we're real estate junkies but what do *you* do of a Sunday afternoon when you're all dressed up with no where to go without spending money? Stumbled in on a spectacular house that had been remodeled under our watchful eyes. It was a golden opportunity for us to see how gentry lives...this house in Albany, CA is listed at $995,000 and they are going to get the full price for sure! Alexis Thompson was showing the house. The the house had an open fire place, cherry flooring, Mediterranian kitchen, private upstairs balcony...the setting looked like a portrait from Architectural Digest. It was wonderful indeed. To her credit, Alexis didn't ask us to take our shoes off. In fact, she was genuinely nice, genuinely interested in us, and most charitable *not* to notice our doggy bags of take-out Thai. I exaggerate. We ate *after* the open house. But you get my drift...Alexis treated us like interesting folks who just *might* have enough money to plunk down on the house despite our outward appearances. We wish her well on the sale of this house, and in her real estate career. She'll do well. Grubb people, you have yourself a winner! And I say this despite my love of chocolate chip cookies. The cookies were sadly lacking....but Mykah Larkins had them at her open house just down the road. Mykah was showing a sweet little two bedroom that we could easily see would soon occupy a young family who wanted to be near Harding School. Alexis, Mykah...you guys ROCK as realtors! Good to know that real people are in the real estate business! Keep shining, ladies!

If I had 500 stars, I'd give them all to Rosie the Realtor. An acquaintance recommended her after…read morewe fired our dud realtor, and we were wary. Could she work around our limited schedule and deal with ever-present, ever-loud twins in the background? Could she really find us a liveable house in our price range, in a good neighborhood, with good schools? Thanks to Rosie, I'm now a homeowner. I never thought it could happen! And Rosie was there every step of the way, with a smile and an efficient can-do attitude. Even in our bargain basement price range, she treated us like we were million dollar clients. She saved us from a number of pitfalls, helped us where others failed, and never ever wavered in her communication. With her blackberry, she was practically available 24x7! Rosie exceeded every expectation I had, delighted me in areas I didn't think to have expectations, and was a bulldog when she needed to be, badgering sluggish paper-pushers to make sure we closed as quickly as possible. I cannot recommend Rosie more highly. Call her, and you'll be pleased. Go with the service providers she recommends -- they are all true professionals as she is, and won't want to let her down. I own a house! Thank you, Rosie!!!

As a first-time home buyer I was apprehensive and nervous about the whole process, but Danielle and…read moreHeidi made the entire experience run smoothly. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about home-buying, things like: - which neighborhoods to seek out - how to bid the right amount - how to negotiate with the seller - recommending home improvements - recognizing potential problems like dry rot and outdated electrical systems Even after the house was purchased, they were still available to help with things like insurance and taxes. Throughout the process, I always felt like Danielle and Heidi were looking out for our interests. Their advice and expertise saved us lots of time and trouble.

I originally posted a longer, more detailed review, but Yelp mysteriously removed it without…read moreexplanation. Perhaps it was too long or threw some flags. Anyway, this is an edited, abridged version of the original review. Bottom line: It's impossible to overstate how helpful Heidi and Danielle were in helping my wife and I find, purchase, and do a total remodel of our first home. But I'll try. First of all, they invested a lot of time in us from the beginning, when we were "just looking," despite the fact that I would have considered us long shots. They were always available (often both of them!) to show us properties that we either found ourselves online or they brought to our attention. Also, Heidi and Danielle were very useful in helping us gauge a neighborhood (e.g. new Berkeley bowl opening soon, sales history of nearby houses, which houses are bank owned), the likelihood that we can get the house at such-and-such price, and what sorts of things we might be able to do to a house to get it nice and livable, and for how much money. When house hunting, there really is no substitute for a great, knowledgeable realtor. Or two. When we found a house we wanted, well, it was a fixer. And it was a short-sale. Heidi and Danielle helped us navigate both of these potential hazards with ease. First, we actually got our offer accepted by the bank in a week or so, thanks to the good strategy and background research done by Heidi and Danielle. We even got a reduction on the price after the offer was accepted to help with some repairs. And even before we had an offer on the house, Heidi and Danielle were arranging for well regarded contractors and subcontractors to bid work on the house, so we had a good idea on what repairs would cost. They continued helping us find bids through the escrow process, and when we closed, we had what amounted to an almost total remodel/refurb of the inside of the house ready to go. We locked-in low bids with subcontractors (the market was particularly weak) and got our project done in time for us to move in. This would not have happened without Heidi and Danielle's stellar work. I can't make an exhaustive list of things they did that impressed me due to space constraints, but I've hit the highlights. My parents and my wife's parents, who have a fair amount of experience with remodels and buying houses, told us many times how lucky we were to have found Heidi and Danielle. I could not agree more.
