Laura is a great partner in this crazy, stressful journey. She helped keep me focused and really held space for me while I figured out what I actually wanted - a place on the beach.Alameda is a very special market in the East Bay. I knew that finding a home in on the island was going to take someone with deep roots in the community & Laura is super involved in our community. Shes endlessly patient, happy to go through the tiniest details in a listing or in a contract. I relied on her expertise to make the biggest purchase of my life and Ive been so thankful for her guidance.

We hired Julie to sell my childhood home in Foster City after my mom passed away this spring. This was a difficult time for our family and a difficult decision for my siblings and myself to sell our childhood home. It is one of the higher end homes in FC located at the end of one of the islands, i.e. large water view. My dad bought the house new in 1974 and there was a bit of work to do to make it ready for sale. Since I lived out of state, I needed an agent who not only knew the market well, but also had a team to help us stage the house properly. We interviewed a number of good successful agents and chose Julie based on her market knowledge and her direct communication style. She had clear ideas about staging and what needed to be doneaEUR|..trust me there was a bit to be done. Julie was very prompt on all communication regarding all aspects of cleaning out the house and staging it well. I felt she went above and beyond in her understanding my logistical issues and stopped by on numerous occasions to take care of some major and minor issues which normally would not be handled by a listing agent. Bottom line, she took ownership of the listing and made sure it was well prepared and marketed. We listed the home a bit aggressively based on market conditions, i.e. not expecting any bidding wars due to increasing interest rates. The home sold relatively quickly for above our asking price. Despite living out of state, I have a good understanding of the market and where the house should have been priced. Julie saw the value in the house and we came to an agreement on the price which, as mentioned, was aggressive, but realistic and which my siblings and myself were in agreement. As of the sales date it sold for the highest amount for any home in FC prior.To conclude, Julie was very professional, pro active and aggressive in not only marketing the home, but getting it ready for market which it seems is where most of the heavy lifting is done. I recommend her to anyone looking to sell and/or buy a home.

Purchasing a home with Andrew as our realtor was great! He was flexible, responsive, and knowledgeable about the Oakland area. He walked us through disclosures and helped us understand the work needed for potential homes. He helped us move quickly on offers and ensured everything was taken care of on his end so we could close on time. Andrew was always available when we had questions and gave honest, helpful answers. Andrew made purchasing a home smooth and I'd recommend him to other buyers.

We must be one of Andrews most annoying clientsaEUR| He showed us many homes that would have been perfect for us but we just couldnt commit. Once we found aEURoeThe OneaEUR? and went into contract we had multiple issues on our end. However during this entire process Andrew remained up beat and positive, lending his expertise and guiding us to the finish line with ease and grace. Its really nice knowing that Andrew has our back and we dont have to worry too much as this is/can be a scary process!

Julie was very clear in explaining the selling process and gave us great suggestions. She was not pushy and gave us plenty of time when we need to make decisions. She picked up her phone quickly everytime we called. She understood our concerns and made efforts to be helpful. She even helped to shop for and then returned some items for the house. Her experience is very much appreciated and her sense about the market is impeccable. We trusted her read and ability.

In September 2022, Andrew sold my Alameda condo very quickly, efficiently, and at a significantly higher price than asking. He went above and beyond, arranging to donate furniture that I didn't want because I had moved to another city.I found Andrew energetic, straightforward and easy to deal with. He politely answered my sometimes repetitive questions and simplified the process for me.This is my fifth Bay Area real estate transaction, and I would highly recommend Andrew.

Our experience with Andrew was great. He is a kind, attentive and understanding realtor. He goes above and beyond for his clients and makes you feel well taken care of. In our case, we worked long hours and didnt have much availability to tour homes during the day/afternoon. He worked with our hectic schedule and showed us homes in the evenings and he also worked with some of the last minute requests we had. I will be definitely be using Andrew as my realtor the next time around.

For first time home buyers we really had no idea what to expect and at the beginning it was all overwhelming. When neighbors of ours recommended Elan we jumped at the opportunity to have a local help us. Elan made the process so much more manageable, even dare I say fun. His knowledge of Alameda is amazing and we feel so lucky to have found him. Just when we thought we wouldnt find anything he found a great house that fit our wants and needs! I cannot recommend him enough!
