Testimonials

I could not be more pleased with Sean. As a first-time home buyer, I needed a realtor who was patient, knowledgable, and honest. He was all of these and then some. He was not only extremely professional, but was personable and more than willing to go the extra mile. One of the things I appreciated most about Sean was his honesty and low-pressure approach. He provided his honest opinion, even when it didn't benefit him. I am extremely pleased with my home purchase and am eternally grateful for Sean's role in making it happen.

Stellar service from start to finish and one of the best real estate professionals I've had the pleasure of working with! Crystal sold our Berkeley investment property for us, while also providing us with a wealth of resources along the way. From repairs needed to bring the property to market, contractors, stagers, lenders, inspectors, photographer/videographer...Her team was lined up and didn't miss a beat. Her expert knowledge of the local area and market conditions was incredibly helpful. She took personal care to ensure every last detail of the process was taken care of correctly and promptly.

She is very professional, a hard worker, conscientious, trustworthy, and negotiated an excellent return on our investment.

Anyone who works with her is going to have a great experience in the home buying process which is not always the case with other Realtors®.

Crystal is an amazing Realtor®! She really listens to her clients and ensures that their needs/wants are a top priority but also helps clients understand if they need to consider any sort of compromise to make their homeownership dreams come true. She is a true professional and a team player. Anyone who works with her is going to have a great experience in the home buying process which is not always the case with other Realtors®. We will not regret working with her!

Crystal is a really wonderful agent. She is super responsive. I never had to wait long for an answer to anything. She will go out of her way to show you a property or find out any details you want to know. She also understands the stress of buying a house and is patient when I wasn't. It's a challenging market out there for buyers right now and Crystal is a good agent to have on your side.

She is very professional and an expert in her field. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or find a home. She is very knowledgeable and took her time to show us numerous properties.

Ellen is the reason our offer was accepted on our dream house. If it weren’t for her proactive approach and strong communication with the seller’s agent, we would have missed out on the house that we now call home! There were a lot of buyers in the market who were not as fortunate to have Ellen on their side, and missed out.

Puzzled like any first-time homebuyer, my husband and I met the heaven-sent Ellen Martinez, who approached us and listened to our preferences. During the offer process, we discovered that Ellen possesses strong negotiating skills. She helped us secure our offer acceptance within a month, which was $25,000 less than the asking price. As a bonus, she also assisted us in obtaining a $13,000 credit. Ellen has an excellent understanding of the market and genuinely represents the best interests of buyers. We wholeheartedly recommend her to all homebuyers, whether new or experienced.

I was fortunate to work with Ms.. Chambers to handle an estate sale of rental property in the Oakland area. I personally had very little knowledge of the local policies, landlord/tenant rights and other requirements that would be involved in this type of transaction. It was my blessing that Ms. Chambers was there to represent me and guide me throughout this process. Her extensive knowledge of the issues we encountered was phenomenal! She exhibited the highest level of grace and professionalism when dealing with the tenants and contractors throughout the entire process. I have nothing short of the highest praise for her skills and due diligence in handling every phase of the sales process. I utilized Ms. Chambers for the sale of an additional property and it was the best decision I could have made. I would refer her to anyone who is looking for an extremely qualified real estate agent who is resourceful, always on time for appointments, knowledgeable and highly skilled for the sale of your property. She is the best!!

Kevin helped me purchase my first home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Not only did Kevin help me secure the house for $70k under asking price, but he also secured a sub 4% mortgage rate for me, all while the market still had multiple competing offers and the rate was much higher. What impressed me most about Kevin was his attentiveness, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond to help me throughout the entire home-buying process. He was patient, responsive, and always had my best interests at heart. He took the time to answer all of my questions (and there were a lot, as a first time homebuyer) and provided guidance and support every step of the way. If you’re looking for an agent that is knowledgeable and committed, Kevin has my vote! He is a true professional who takes pride in his work and is dedicated to delivering the best possible outcome for his clients.

Based on the recommendation of a friend I listed my home for sale with Compass Realtors Crystal Florida and Kevin Hom. This was a great decision. They immediately began putting information together and getting the word out about my home. Consequently, while I was still in the process of getting my home in shape to be listed for sale, they informed me that they had received a couple of offers for my property. One of the offers was above the asking price. Throughout the entire process Crystal and Kevin were so responsive, returning my many text messages and phone calls almost instantly. Even after I closed escrow on my home, Crystal and Kevin continued to assist with various issues. Like I said initially, listing with Compass and having Crystal Florida and Kevin Home as my Realtors was a great decision.

Working with Akali was wonderful. He was very responsive, returned my phone calls in a timely manner, he was very knowledgeable about the market, was very helpful and his experience showed when he sold my house. I was very stressed thinking my house was going to sit on the market. forever because of the pandemic but Akali came and took care of business. Need a realtor? Call Akali, you won't regret.
