I've been through a lot of stress the last 2 years. This was my first time selling a property...and a property that isn't even mine (I'm POA for my sister)...so there were a lot of unknowns for me. When I met Tim and Hanna they asked me how I'd like things to transact. I said "painless as possible". My initial thought was to sell "as is" because I didn't want any more stress and hassle. In a very professional way, they easily convinced me it would be worthwhile investing money to make the property a more attractive sale. They are not only very nice people to work with, but they also delivered on painless. No negatives I can think of, only positives. I would recommend them to anyone. I am very glad they were referred to me.

Great service. Personable and knowledgeable realtor.

Working with Hanna and Tim was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. From our very first interaction through to the final sale, they demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care that made the entire process smooth and reassuring. What stood out immediately was their deep familiarity with every step of the process. At each stage they clearly knew what needed to happen next and guided me through it with confidence and clarity. Just as important was their strong knowledge of the local market, which clearly informed their strategy and recommendations. Their understanding of pricing, timing, and buyer behavior in the area proved invaluable throughout the process. They also made excellent use of modern technology to present and market the property effectively. Professional photography, virtual tours, drone footage, and strong digital marketing ensured the property was showcased at its best and reached the widest possible audience. It was clear they understood how to combine traditional real estate expertise with modern tools to maximize interest. As an out-of-town landlord, I initially wondered whether distance might create challenges during the sale. In reality, it was never an issue. Hanna and Tim effectively became my trusted eyes on the ground. They kept a close watch on everything related to the property and coordinated renovations and improvements where needed, all at no extra charge, helping ensure the property was presented in the best possible condition. Their proactive approach made the entire process feel effortless from afar. They were also constantly looking for ways to help me save money wherever possible, carefully considering options and helping avoid unnecessary expenses. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. They were responsive across multiple channels and always polite, practical, and solution-oriented. Thanks to their expertise and strategy, my property sold quickly and above the asking price. Hanna and Tim truly represent the gold standard that all realtors should aspire to. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy professionals. Hanna & Tim - thank you so much!

Working with Hanna & Tim was outstanding. As an out-of-town owner, the process felt effortless. Their expertise, local knowledge, tech-savvy approach, and remodeling skills ensured everything ran smoothly. Excellent communication and strategy led to a quick sale above asking. Totally recommend!

Hannah and Tim were excellent to work with. They explained how they thought everything would go at our initial meeting and they were 100% spot on. I needed them to handle everything and they went above and beyond! Only regret is that I don't have more work for them as they were a pleasure to deal with! Marvin Sanders

Hanna and Tim Kerns delivered entirely on what I was looking for in my home, neighborhood, and community in Berkeley. After many years living in New York City and Washington, DC, I moved to the Bay Area in 2022, still hoping to have a walkable and transit-oriented lifestyle (+ bike, of course) in one of Berkeley's beautiful neighborhoods. They took the time to listen to me, and after a few short months and many long weekends of their time, we found my dream home in North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. I could not have asked for better agents, and I strongly endorse them both for their thorough understanding of a dynamic market and Berkeley and other Bay Area communities, which gave me confidence in my decision.

Working with my agent, April & Doug is awesome. Both are working tirelessly even after hours. They are fully dedicated to give me honest opinions not only for their benefit. Generally Red oak teem are great people. Thank you so much Mehreteab Araya

Hanna and Tim were sooo helpful. Their knowledge of all areas of real estate amazed me. They were in close communication with me. They had great ideas. They were affirming of my ideas. They were sensitive to my concerns. They are a great team and I am so grateful that they were mine. If I had any other property in the area I would sure call on them again. They are honest and trustworthy. They have such a friendly manner and respect each other too. I will miss them.

Always available and helpful with practical advice.

I can't thank my lucky stars enough for connecting us with this absolute gem, Hanna Kerns. Our little family was navigating an inter-state move mid-pandemic and even remotely, right from the start it was clear that getting to know us and helping us understand the complicated Bay Area real estate ecosystem were priorities. Early on, we asked Hanna for advice as if she were giving it to a family member or friend. Her response was that she treats all clients as though they were family and that is precisely how Hanna does business. And believe me, you definitely want to be part of Hanna's family. She taught us how to read inspections with a fine comb, helped us limit unnecessary exposure to view homes that wouldn't meet our needs, and kept us INFORMED and ON TRACK every step of the way. Really, Hanna helped us, as buyers, have an insider realtors' perspective. In many ways our home buying journey was unique with some challenges of our own making and others of property complications. Through it all, Hanna was in our corner and it was remarkable how she was so exceptionally pragmatic and analytical while also being creative and open-minded - always with our best interests in mind. Whether it was exploring uncharted contract negotiations, to unusual property permitting, to an 11th hour get-the-check-to-the-lender on time, Hanna went above and beyond to get to the bottom of things and make it happen. Truly, we've never felt so taken care of in a transaction. It's not just that Hanna knows her stuff- which she does in SUCH great depth and is so generous with her expertise - it's that she is an absolute pleasure and invaluable resource to talk to and work with, so much so that we miss her dearly now that we've purchased our home here.
