““A Seamless, Stress-Free Sale Thanks to Brian!”
Selling our home could have been a stressful experience—but thanks to Brian, it was anything but. From day one, he took complete charge of the process with professionalism, clarity, and care. He coordinated everything—from staging to showings—with zero hassle on our end.
What truly set Brian apart was his dedication after we moved out. He personally kept an eye on the property, ensuring it was always in top shape and secure until the sale closed. That level of commitment gave us incredible peace of mind.
Brian made the entire transaction smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this process. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, Brian is the one. Thank you for all you do!!”
“Working with Andrew Ulmer to find a home for our family was a remarkably refreshing and gratifying experience. Early in his representation, he met us at various open houses, walking behind us, asking to hear our stream of consciousness and back and forth banter, as he took copious notes. He really wanted to understand what we were looking for, what we valued, and what sort of tradeoffs were ok. With that in mind, each subsequent house visit, resulted in a more focused approach where Andrew could call out what the property offered vis a vis what he had learned about us. He was honest, forth coming and helped temper emotions and steer us towards reality.
Once we found the gem, Andrew worked quickly to discern as much information about the property as possible, communicating back to us the accuracy of the situation. He met us for return visits, kept in constant contact, all while maintaining calm and a sense of humor.
Due to travel schedules, our decision time was quite compressed. When offers were due, he prepared very quickly. Even with very few comps available, he did an analysis, of what required some creative what if’s, asking us good questions along the way. Additionally, he utilized his people skills to get as much info as possible, in order to give us the best chance. In the end, we presented a strong offer that we felt really good about.
Andrew is a good listener (really, not very many people are), open to learning, has a really nice communication style, and is keen to build relationships and understand his clients. He was a true joy to work with.”
“I was referred to Chris Luna, by a friend and was impressed from the start! He quickly assessed my home, made strategic recommendations to enhance its appeal, and listed it for top dollar. Within just 7 days, he secured a full asking price offer! His professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication made the entire process seamless. Thanks to Chris, I'm able to move on to my next chapter with ease! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate experience! Thanks Again -Julius”

I highly recommend Camille to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—she's truly the best in the business!”

“We were careful who we picked, and we wanted a realtor who was experienced and had connections so we didn't need to find contractors to paint/stage, etc. Ivan is well known in our neighborhood, and once we met with him it was clear he could provide an effortless experience. We simply didn't have the time to coordinate the painting, landscape, etc., nor the market expertise to know what was best to prepare the house. His contractor team was professional, on time, clearly knew what they were doing, and reasonably priced. With this preparation, even in a really tough market this year, we got multiple offers after one showing. Thank you, Ivan!”

“We can’t say enough great things about working with Jenn Collins! Before finding Jenn, we were completely lost in the home search process and didn’t even know where to start. From the very beginning, she took the time to explain every step clearly and made what felt overwhelming suddenly feel manageable.
We were working with Jenn remotely from Brooklyn, and despite the time difference, she was incredibly responsive, organized, and on top of every detail. She truly took the time to get to know us as a family — what mattered most to us, how we live day-to-day, and what kind of home would actually fit our needs.
Jenn also took no shortcuts. She carefully reviewed every property, flagged potential issues we never would have noticed, and made sure we felt confident and informed at every step. Her thoroughness, honesty, and genuine care set her apart from anyone we’ve ever worked with.
We would recommend Jenn to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially if you’re navigating the process from afar. She made what could have been a stressful experience actually enjoyable — and we’re so grateful to have had her on our side!”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Laura. She is professional, knowledgeable, and extremely well connected in the real estate community. Even before listing, she helped us prepare our home for sale by connecting us with trusted contractors who did an excellent job on repairs for us. She went above and beyond, leveraging her network to bring in a strong turnout for both our open house and brokers tours. Laura also guided us in creating a strategy that made our listing extremely competitive in a challenging market. Thanks to her expertise, we received an offer and were able to negotiate a sale price we were very happy with, all in a short period of time. We would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“Simon was instrumental in changing our lives. We found a wonderful home with minimal stress during a challenging time in the market. He was friendly and positive from our first call, and throughout the entire process, made us believe a new home was possible. He genuinely listened to us and opened our eyes to all possibilities. He set up a webpage where we could collaborate as a a team and clearly had our best interests in mind.
We ended up buying a home different from what we planned in an area we didn’t initially have in mind. It was all our decision, but Simon helped broaden our horizons. He made it clear his priority was our happiness and his patience and willingness to continue showing us homes for the rest of the year was indicative of this. He is beyond knowledgeable and provides helpful observations that are not otherwise thought of. The business transaction was seamless. Simon developed a good relationship with the sellers’ realtor, drew up a contract with multiple contingencies to protect us and was on site for all inspections. He stayed in constant contact, slowly walked us through the escrow process and made sure we were fully aware of everything. The best part is knowing we can contact him for anything, even after the purchase.
We could go on and on, but believe the fact that we miss spending our weekends with Simon says it all! We had a lot of fun together and look forward to showing him what we’ve done with our home. We can’t recommend him enough and can confidently say he goes above and beyond for his clients. Simon will remain a special person in our lives.”
“As a first-time homebuyer, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and that’s all because of Peyman. Honestly, it’s hard to put into words just how incredible she is. From day one, she made me feel supported, never rushed, and always listened to what I needed, even when I wasn’t sure myself.
She encouraged me to explore different homes just to help narrow down what mattered most to me, and that process ended up being more valuable than I expected. When the right home came along, I knew because she had helped me get so clear on what I wanted.
Peyman is not just knowledgeable, she’s trustworthy, calm, and always had my best interests at heart. Even when I panicked and considered overbidding, she kept me grounded with honest advice. She saw things I would’ve never thought to notice and made the entire process feel manageable.
I trust her completely and can’t recommend her enough. She’s beyond exceptional.”
“We were so fortunate to have Soraya as our realtor. Not only is she an expert in the market, helping us achieve above asking-price offers on our house, she has an approachable and sincere demeanor. She is detail-oriented and really cares about you and the successful sale of the house. She guided us in the preparation of the house prior to the sale and she was 100% right in every aspect. When she introduced herself for the first time, we knew she was the right fit and we hired her on the spot. It was the easiest and best decision we made when selling our home.”
“I have been a renter with Astound Realty for over a decade. I am just now moving out of the Long Term Rental. Stuart Levitas the owner is just the kind of person you want to deal with as a renter. In any sort of business transaction or agreement honestly. He is a fair, humane, kind, understanding and professional. The kind of person you know follows the rules, makes things fair, but also does it with a big heart. I even looked for a new rental from his company, due to the up-standing professional he is. If I ever need to rent out a place in the future, I know he would be the person I could trust, and his company staff I am sure he would accept no less.”

“Mischa recently helped me purchase my first home and I could not have went with a better realtor. Mischa was kind and patient with me as we navigated our way through this crazy market. Because of her upbeat personality she made it easy to form a positive working relationship, which made me feel comfortable asking the "crazy" questions and not feel like I am being judged. Even with this constantly changing market and my price point dropping she still made me feel as if I was one of her million dollar clients and always encouraged me to keep going.Mischa is very informative and knowledgeable not only when it comes to viewing properties but about the life itself. She can tell you everything about a property from the birds sitting in the tree in the backyard, to the lizard crawling across the front porch and everything in between (smile).I am glad to have walked my home buying journey with Mischa by my side leading the way from start to finish. Not only was this a journey for me but Mischa helped to make it a memorable experience to remember with a lifelong connection. I will definitely refer Mischa to family and friends when they are ready embark on their home buying journeys.Nazirah Cooks1st time homebuyer”

Long distance home sale contingencies can be challenging on both ends, but Peter’s professionalism, extensive knowledge and consistent communication made the entire transaction run smoothly - even after he navigated a couple complex obstacles on his end! I highly recommend Peter to any prospective buyer/seller - but most importantly - if you’re an agent looking for a referral agent to help your client. He’s your agent! Thank you so much, Peter! It was a pleasure working with you!”

“Just a few words to express how happy I am with the recent sale of my Moraga home.
I have lived in Moraga for over 22 years so when it came time to move and sell my home, I contacted four of the top real estate agents who I thought were best equipped for the job. During my research effort, Michelle Holcenberg, from Vanguard Properties in Lafayette, rose to the top of that group as the best qualified. In addition, our rapport seemed relaxed and natural.
During the sale preparation process, Michelle and Diane Petek, a fellow Vanguard agent, went well above and beyond the role that agents usually play to see that the work on my house moved along to a high level of quality, on schedule and within budget. In addition, they seamlessly worked to get the inspections scheduled and results in hand in a timely manner. And, their command of current marketing and sales techniques was invaluable as I felt that all of the pre-sale marketing plan was implemented fully and completely.
Having grown up in Lamorinda, Michelle’s experience and knowledge of the area was key in selecting the right price for the house. I was concerned about this issue but she worked with me and we were able to come up with a very competitive price. I think I even restrained a little of Michelle’s enthusiasm in this area but as it turned out, her original price was right on target.
The hard work paid off quickly in a short on-the-market sales period with a well-qualified buyer surfacing right away. That was so exciting!
I really think Michelle Holcenberg has the entire package for anyone wanting to sell their home in the Lamorinda area. Her expertise, professionalism and local connections are only overshadowed by her conscientious and tireless work-ethic. She and Diane made this transaction a very successful and satisfying experience.”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Shawn Shokoor from Compass during our property search, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Shawn was incredibly quick to respond to our inquiries and always punctual for our appointments. They showed us a variety of properties, making the process smooth and stress-free.
His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. Shawn truly understood our needs and preferences, going above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect property. We highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a dedicated and reliable realtor.
Thank you, Shawn, for making this experience so positive for us!”
“Rachel is a lovely person who is patient, considerate, thoughtful, and helpful. She has been extremely helpful to me in the entire process of purchasing my home in Rossmoor. Since I am an east coast resident, Rachel not only facilitated the purchase process, but she toured me through all of the facilities at Rossmoor, drove me around the area, including Walnut Creek and Lafayette, connected me with an insurance broker who was able to insure our home, and is providing me with the names of service and construction people to help prepare our home to move in. Rachel did the final walk-through before closing in my absence and also patiently took very detailed measurements for me of all wall spaces in the house to facilitate my making moving plans remotely. She continues to be willing to help in every possible way.”
“Working with Scott and Alex was a great experience. Our situation was a bit particular because it was the first time selling a house, and we live abroad. Both Scott and Alex were very diligent in walking us through the process, communicating frequently to helping us stay ahead so that we didn't have to scramble. We asked tons of questions and they were frank and straight forward, and very patient with us. We would highly recommend them.”
“Carol is the best of the best! We loved working with her. Buying at the back end of the COVID pandemic was so tough and we were glad to have Carol by our side. She is knowledgeable, kind, negotiates like crazy and is full service. She has helped us SO much not only with our home purchase and closing the deals, but also with everything since then. Carol has great knowledge of the market, is well connected, well liked and overall just high service. Carol is super detailed and pays very close attention to all things about homes including disclosures, and the things that most people do not think to look for. We were relocating from out of state and were first time home buyers in California and in the Bay Area, and Carol took the time to really educate us on the market, expectations and working through the things we should really pay close attention to. We were super picky homebuyers because we had a vision of what we wanted our time in California to look like, and Carol very carefully helped us bring that vision to life. Through our transaction Carol built a really strong relationship with us and we have become personal friends with her and her entire family since that time. Given we do not have any family in California, Carol has been so gracious to really include us as her own family and we are so grateful. Thanks Carol and your team for all of our homebuying needs and for really helping us find our happy place. Carol is nationally recognized, so when you're looking for the right person to have your front and your back, Carol's your gal!”
“Judy helped me find my perfect new home in the neighborhood I wanted and within my budget! I had the good fortune of working with Judy professionally back in 2008 when she organized a biotech/pharmaceutical conference that I was speaking at in Philadelphia, and even as a conference organizer her skills were impressive. Luckily she came to the Bay Area and it was natural for me to ask for her guidance to help me find a new home. She educated me on the process and taught me things I wasn't aware of to look for, and didn't sugarcoat things that I needed to know. She also referred me to a great mortgage loan officer. Overall this has been the most pleasant and productive homebuying process I've gone through, and I highly recommend working with her!”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelly for the purchase of an apartment building, and I cannot express my satisfaction enough. From the very beginning of our journey to the final closing, Kelly exhibited professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping me close on the property. Despite the difficulties arising from the seller’s team, with Kelly’s help, we were able to close on the deal.Kelly has a deep understanding of the real estate market and a keen understanding on how to navigate through a negotiation process. Though he has historically concentrated his interests within the single-family space, his ability to comprehend the nuances of the industry made me comfortable throughout on this type of deal. As a still fairly young investor, I felt a true comfort that Kelly understood the complexities involved in the transaction as each step was navigated with unwavering patience and expertise.I would wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone in search of a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent whether its for buying your future house or for investing within the industry.”
“Josephine was a bright light in a very difficult process. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and not only does she complete and achieve what you ask of her, she goes above and beyond and anticipates other issues down the line. She provided suggestions about how to structure my loan, and was very fluent in the entire process. The realtor and title company were incredibly difficult, with a process riddled with mistakes, and directly going against my requests. Josephine was the one bright light -- she was incredibly adept at maneuvering and pivoting around these mistakes from the other parties, and still helping me competently finish. She moved mountains, and got me the lowest rate possible. I understand she also has her realtor license. While i didn't utilize her services in this area, I think without a doubt she'd be also incredible in that area too. I can't sing her praises enough.”
“I highly recommend Lori True! She worked very hard to help us sell our house, handled all challenges with professionalism, was always on time, did everything she said she would do and then some, and always went way above and beyond. We received multiple offers above our asking price thanks to her knowledge and expertise in selling property. We were very happy we worked with Lori. Don't hesitate to call her if you need a real estate agent!”
