Anne Feste

Anne is a walking wikipedia of real estate and a kind friend. She carefully explained all the details of processes and tricks to us and she understands our tastes of the house. Anne knows which house is worthy of buying from all the practical aspects. She always tries to find out as much information as possible for us in order to protect our rights and maximize our benefits. She also provides very thoughtful suggestions on the house repairing and renovation. We cannot imagine our success without Annes help, given our limited budget and picky standard. If you want an agent who can be like your best friend or even family with the frank opinion and knowledgeable experience, Anne is THE ONE.

About a year and a half ago, my partner and I realized that we?d need to begin looking for a new home. Our family was growing; our daughter was turning one, we had another child on the way, and we were looking for a place where we could put down roots after five busy years. We knew the process wouldn?t be easy, particularly as educators navigating a competitive real estate market and without much experience from which to draw. And so we would visit open houses, wander around aimlessly, make a few inquiries, engage in flights of fancy (imagine us drinking tea by that fireplace!), and then return to square one the next weekend ? wondering if our dreams would ever come to pass. Luckily, we had good friends that recently purchased a home and mentioned that we had to speak with Anne. The descriptions were glowing ? she was funny, personable, smart, strategic, experienced, and unfailingly honest. She would answer our questions, put us at ease, and represent us with integrity and care. And so we called, and promptly spent our first conversation talking less about buying a house and more about the challenges and joys of parenting. When we started talking about our dream home, she helped answer all of our questions, always returning the conversation back to what felt right for us. She also spent weekend after weekend visiting open houses with us, following up with helpful information about neighborhoods, floor plans, contingencies, upsides, downsides, and everything in between. Best of all, she always had gifts for our daughter Noa, who patiently (most of the time) came along! Eventually, Anne helped us find our dream home, a space that was just perfect for us. She helped us navigate the entire purchase process, put us in touch with her resources and contacts, advocated for us, and shepherded us through an offer that was accepted, despite coming in lower than some of the others! We are so grateful for Anne and hope everyone who is looking for their dream home gets the benefit of collaborating with her. We could not have dont this without her support, friendship, expertise, and thoughtfulness. To this day, she still stops by with treats for the kids (and the parents), and makes brilliant suggestions about home improvement projects, furnishing, and more!! She has our most unreserved and enthusiastic recommendation! And yes, we are now drinking tea by the fireplace, with two little kiddos running the show!

I cant say enough good things about Anne Feste. She is a true professional and helped make the entire process of selling my Dads Oakland townhouse a breeze. Just exceptional. I highly recommend her if you are looking to buy or sell in the Oakland area. You will be extremely impressed with Anne.

Weve worked with Anne over the years to both buy and sell our homes. Anne is well informed, and a great advisor and partner during the stressful process of home selling/buying. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend Anne.

We have never experienced an agent as thorough in all aspects of the sale of real estate. From contractor selection, decor inspiration, 1031 exchange expertise and continual communication, Anne is a gem! And of course she attained multiple top offers.

Our results speak for themselves, but suffice to say, Olivia exceeded expectations during every step of the marketing, negotiating, and closing process. Selling our property was not a simple assignment, as there were several challenging considerations that we had to work around. Olivia navigated these issues adeptly, making what could have been a difficult sale feel like a walk in the park. In particular, Olivias negotiation tactics deserve special applause. By shrewdly pricing the property to drive interest, she was able to produce multiple qualified offers. She then brilliantly ran the negotiation process, creating a competitive situation among the prospective purchasers. Through multiple counteroffers, she was able to drive up the price and tighten the timelines. In the end, we achieved a better price than anyone had expected with a fast close. I could not be happier with the outcome, and Olivia deserves all the credit for our excellent result.

Great pre-contract meeting. Respectful of sellers (our) opinions. Personable, efficient, and decisive with complementary and resourceful team. Team added multi-generational perspective to preparation, staging, and attracting buyers. House was well prepped and staged to well reflect its environment. It was a great experience.

I don?t think we could have had a better realtor. We needed someone with detailed knowledge of the Oakland area and all the different neighborhoods . It didn?t take long for her to understand what we were looking for and she definitely found the right house for us. The fact that she has been selling/ buying houses there for so long- and the fact that she lives in the east bay herself was certainly a plus for us. Highly recommend! Thank you Anne! A+.

Anne did a superb job in selling my house. She and her excellent crew of specialists prepared the house to show in the best possible way. Everyone was delightful to work with and able to expertly correct any problems that came up. I needed to sell quickly and Anne did so in record time and for an excellent price that exceeded my expectations. Normally, selling your house can be quite stressful but Anne made everything go very smoothly. I highly recommend Anne as a superb real estate professional with a warm and personal approach.
