Client Comments
"We could not have been more pleased with Rebecca's professionalism, follow-through, tenacity, energy, enthusiasm, and confidence. Rebecca thoroughly understands every aspect of buying and selling houses. Best of all, she genuinely cares about her clients. We so enjoyed Rebecca's tremendous leadership in the first deal that we hired her for our next two real estate transactions, which went as equally well as the first."
- Thom M. & Hank S.
"We recently moved back to the Bay Area from Seattle after ten years away. We were under the gun to find a house we would love in the right area for our family of four. Rebecca was truly awesome in her constant search to find us the right place. She showed us house after house in a condensed time frame, helped us work through which areas would best meet our needs, and in the end helped us get considerably more house for our money than we ever expected. Her knowledge of the Bay Area market proved invaluable. Her calm confidence and willingness to go the extra mile to research, negotiate, and work out timing for our situation, make her someone we will recommend and call upon again."
- April & Greg H.
"If there's one thing you want from your real estate agent, it's knowing that he or she is always going to take care of you and act in your best interest. We found that in Rebecca. She understood what we wanted and we ended up with a great house at a great price. When it came time for our parents to look for a house in our neighborhood, there was no question about who we would refer them to."
- Uri S. & Erin W.
"Where do we start. We can't say enough great things about Rebecca. We were referred to Rebecca from our friends who used her to list their home in Berkeley. What we love about Rebecca is she always made herself available. She was involved in every step of the process. Every open house we went to she even offered to meet us there. When we found the house we liked she helped us from the offer letter, to the inspection, to even the remodel. She was pregnant at the time and went into labor early. She was in contact with us days before and after she delivered her baby! Now that is dedication! We needed some remodel work in the house before we moved in and she helped us find a painter, contractor and carpet installer. She even helped with the paint colors when we couldn't make a decision on color. Oh and did I mention I was also 9 months pregnant and needed to get all this done before baby came?!?!?! It was a very stressful time for us...buying a house, remodeling and baby on the way, but Rebecca made it manageable. She was always positive and reassuring. We can't thank her enough for all her help!"
