For us, selling our home turned into more of a marathon than a sprint. Life threw us some unexpected curveballs along the way, and through it all, Deidre was there to support us, help us pivot when needed, and keep us moving forward. Having known Deidre for many years, and knowing how much she genuinely cares about her clients and the sellers she works with, there was never any question about who we would trust with the sale of our home. She was there for us every step of the way, and we're so grateful for her guidance, patience, and support. Deidre and Nicole are truly like Batman and Robin -- an incredible dynamic duo! We're so thankful to have had them in our corner and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you both for helping us navigate the journey and get to the finish line with happy sellers and happy new owners! Ray and Dann

Deidre was a pleasure to work with; very knowledgeable about Oakland homes and the negotiating process.

We got the best realtor in town.

I was under contract w/in about a month of signing my buyer-broker agreement with Deidre. I was nervous as a first timer, but she made the process so smooth. Deidre's reputation precedes her. I felt confident walking into homes with her on my side and equipped with the knowledge she instilled in me.

Deidre did an amazing job given the market uncertainty and live listing challenges. She handled everything in stride and adjusted the outreach strategy as needed. We will be recommending her to our Oakland/East Bay friends looking for a Seller/Buyer agent.

Deidre is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. I was a first-time homebuyer and when I first reached out to Deidre about one of the first houses I liked, we spoke on the phone and she gave me the run-down on the Bay Area market and buying process. She then pulled the disclosures and called me so that we could walk through the identified issues together and assess whether I could take on the necessary repairs. We did this for every house that I liked until we found the right one, which didn't take long! I was under contract within just over a month of signing my buyer-broker agreement. This was my first time ever putting in an offer on a home, and with Deidre guiding me, writing the sweetest offer letter, and connecting me with a reputable local lender, title company, and insurance company, I was able to beat out three other offers. As a first timer, I was nervous about everything. What if a couple with dual income is able to beat what I feel comfortable spending as a single buyer? What if there's an appraisal shortfall? Thankfully, none of my worst-case scenarios happened. Deidre made the process so smooth it felt like the stars were aligning for me. I was determined to buy in Oakland and ultimately ended up with a house in Oakland that is beyond my wildest dreams in terms of neighborhood, character, and the fruit trees in my backyard. Deidre's reputation precedes her. You feel so much more confident walking into homes with her on your side and equipped with the knowledge she's instilled in you. Once I closed on my home, Deidre provided me with her extensive resource guide, so I've been able to get my pre-move in services out of the way (e.g., rekey, pest control, alarm system) and at a discount because I'm her client. When the time comes to sell or buy another home, I will be thrilled to work with Deidre again. Until then, I'm recommending her to everyone!

Deidre is fantastic

Great service! Deidre took the time in explaining why she was recommending what she recommended as far as preparing the property for sale. Was very sensitive to my quirks and needs. Had great follow through and really understood the draw my neighborhood/community . Trusted her 100%.

Deidre and Nicole know Oakland! I wanted to sell my home in the Oakland hills at maybe not the best time, which was why I chose them to represent me and present my home in its best light. This was before the spring selling season and the lovely weather in which the bay views from the hills really shine. And then, of course, there was the issue of finding homeowners insurance in the wake of the Los Angeles fires. So I was nervous. There were repairs to be done on the property and updates here and there. And then there was rain, lots of it, during open house! I was prepared for a long wait before a sale. But I was wrong. Two weeks after my home listed, it was sold. Thank you, Deidre and Nicole!

We first met Deidre 13 years ago, when she helped us purchase our home in Crocker Highlands. We kept in touch over the years and relied on her expertise again in our search for a new house with more space. We knew that the Berkeley market would be competitive and were prepared to be disappointed when we put in our first offer on a beautiful Craftsman home in Elmwood. The buyer had received 14 offers and we went in with two contingencies - so our offer was a long shot. But Deidre successfully negotiated the sale and helped us get into our dream home! Deidre and Nicole made the home buying process so easy. We recently worked with them again in the sale of our Crocker house. This is where we saw Deidre's creativity really shine! She is a terrific writer and did such a wonderful job describing our home and showcasing all of the improvements we had made. The marketing videos, website, photos and postcards were so stylish and creative. Deidre and Nicole came up with cost effective strategies to get our house ready for sale. They really understand the market and know what buyers are looking for. We were thrilled that so many people showed up to tour our home. And at 41% over asking, the sale price exceeded our expectations. We loved working with Deidre and Nicole and highly recommend them!
