TESTIMONIALS
 
" I hired Helen in 2012 to sell my Oakland, CA house, and she is the best.  She explained the current market to me in terms that I could understand, listened carefully to my real estate needs and only then provided a sales plan tailored to my needs.  She is a tenacious and skillful negotiator and rest assured that with Helen on your side, you'll get the best deal possible.  She is not high pressure, and she is a kind and pleasant person to visit with and talk to."  Michael H.

"Thank you for all you have done for us...for all of your time, hard work and dedication" Bill and I will be forever grateful. We made it through - and could not have done it without you   - really!! Your constant positive thinking will never be forgotten. Rules to live by!" -- Gretchen H .

"Thank you for all your time, energy, knowledge, skill and personal concern. This was a process that the family dreaded going through. This was the family home for almost 70 years.  The house is more than a floor plan to us; it is a lifetime of memories...it is our contention that, only because we had you as our agent, the "dread" never materialized, and the process was nearly effortless on our part. On behalf of the entire family, and as trustee for our Family Trust, I want to thank you for being an exceptional agent in the sale of our home. I want to also express our appreciation of you as an exceptional person." -- Bill H .

“Helen is incredible. She can do all of the complex paperwork and explain it so that you can understand it all! Helen knows the local market and who to call for inspections and other important consultations. I would recommend her with absolutely no hesitation." -- Juli M.

“Helen is an awesome real estate agent! Thorough in everything she does and really customizes her information for you, based on what you need and what you're looking for. Whether you're selling your home or trying to buy one, she takes you through the process from beginning to end. The best part about her is that she's not only your agent but a trusted friend!” -- Krista G.
