Joy is very easy to work with: friendly, responsive, patient and very knowledgeable about Lamorinda. When we were ready to put in offers, she will provide her expert advices and work quickly to ensure we will have a good shot. After our purchase, Joy continued to help us navigate the new community, providing info on schools, childcare, local events, etc, making the move/transition as seamless as possible for our family.

I worked with Lori True and the Olsen Team for both, the purchase of my home and subsequently the sale of the same California home. Lori is very knowledgeable about the local market, she is an energetic and responsive realtor, in a hot housing market those attributes might be critical. Buying/Selling a house is a laborious task and Lori can help you narrow down to the important details. I strongly recommend Lori for you real estate transactions.

I have moved with my corporation several times and have had a tremendous amount of experience with all persons in the real estate market (both sell, buy, and rental). Kyle is one of my all time favorites. He made my wife and I feel so relaxed with the process. I always enjoyed taking his calls and he respected our time. It felt like he was going out of his way to help us and he really made our move to the Lamorinda area feel warm. Hire this guy and enjoy the experience like we did.

Lori was a tremendous help during what was a rough market for buyers. She was by our side for 9 months answering questions, educating us about the home-selection and home-buying process, and helping us bid as first-time homebuyers. She was patient and didn't pressure us at all. We also appreciated how knowledgable she was about the bones of a house, remodeling, and home-owning tips. You can tell she has a lot of experience. She also got us in touch with great lenders and contractors. We highly recommend her!

We were in search of houses in the Lamorinda area and connected with Joy when we first moved to Moraga. She was very friendly and enthusiastic. Honesty and patience were some of the traits that we admired about her. She was also very responsive and always available. She would visit the property and take videos for us whenever we couldn't make it to the in-person tour. She even suggested to us a pre-emptive offer to avoid competition. She always had our best interests and knew what kind of house we exactly wanted. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience working with Joy.
