Ellie is great. Honestly the best realtor! We had worked with other realtors before but never purchased a home until we found her. She worked with our VA loan, was extremely knowledgeable about the condition of the properties, and always had our best interest in mind. She is the sweetest but also rigid and made sure everything that had to be done was completed from the sellers (which is what you ideally want when buying a home). In the end, we got the house we fell in love with, within budget and were over-appraised! Honestly the best first home buying experience.
Trish is a delight to work with. She facilitated the sale of our rental property, and then our primary home when we were ready to move. It was reassuring to work with someone who truly has their thumb on the pulse of the local neighborhoods as well as the real estate market. She has excellent intuition, considering both style and value. Trish is punctual, responsive, and clearly cares about the quality of her work. In both of our transactions, the remodels were wonderful and in line with our expectations. She helped us navigate a tricky escrow, and we were glad to have her in our corner for both sales transactions. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need!
We are so grateful to Viviana for helping us find and purchase our wonderful home in a very short amount of time. She understands the market and was extremely dedicated to making sure we found a home that met our needs. It can be a stressful process and her kindness, patience, and warmth were very comforting. I highly recommend Viviana to anyone who is buying or selling a home!
Trish is truly enjoyable to work with. She was very honest and upfront with us while we were looking for homes. She is also very knowledgeable about homes, loans, and any questions we had during the home buying process. When she did not know the answer to a question she was open about it, and got back to us with the answer very promptly. She is also very easy to communicate with (text, phone call, zoom meetings, emails) and answered our communication quickly. I highly recommend working with Trish. She made the home buying process less daunting, and much more pleasurable than I ever thought could be possible (and we love our new home)!
We had talked to Jen Wolan on and off over several years about selling our home and when the time finally came, we knew Jen was the perfect fit. She was respectful and encouraging of our process as we got our home, one that had been in our family for 80+ of its 100 years, ready to sell. Her calm demeanor and professionalism along with expertise in our particular area of Berkeley made an emotional process as stress free as it could be. Jen listened to our ideas and made smart suggestions so that buyers could really see our home as their own. With Jen's tough negotiation skills, we accepted an amazing offer and walked away confident we had a great partner in the process. If you have the opportunity to work with Jen, don't think twice!
I found Sarah and her daughter, Ellie while searching for a realtor in the East Bay last June, once I had decided I was moving back here from Boston. They agreed to meet me while I visited in June to do reconnaissance, and we had a very cordial discussion about what I was seeking, and when. When I arrived in Berkeley in late August, I had already sent them examples of homes that interested me, and we had an email/phone dialog to help adjust my expectations and focus me on areas and types of homes that made sense, given my tastes and resources. We started working together on the ground in late August, and I made an offer on a home that stood out from all others by early September. Sarah and Ellie continued to guide me through the purchase and closing process, as well as identifying issues with the property that needed to be addressed in advance. Sarah has an excellent network.

What I feel stands out about Sarah and Ellie are the following: - They love what they do - They are skilled in taking in their clients' needs and preferences, and tempering that with basic realities about the Bay Area housing market, both in general, and at any particular time or set of circumstances - They have long, deep experience in the East Bay - the houses, catching areas of concern, the history of the neighborhoods, etc that they leverage in helping their clients to find appropriate homes - They are flexible - my Mom was a realtor, and I was a driver in sending them listings, asking questions, telling them I wanted to see certain properties, etc, and they went with the flow, and even enhanced my experience by being willing to look at other houses we saw for sale that looked interesting on the way to the houses we planned to see - it was not only productive, it was a lot of fun I have now been in my home for 3.5 months, and I could not be happier with where I live, thanks in large part to Sarah, Ellie, and District Homes.
