About Paul Talbot

<p>Jade and Paul met in Hawaii in 2012, Paul was a surfer and teacher who hadn't worn shoes in months. Jade was a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Azerbaijan 2009-2011), reintegrating back into a world with WIFI (and bathrooms) inside every home. Paul followed Jade to the East Coast and found another teaching job. He visited Jade each weekend in NYC, where she earned her Master's Degree from Columbia University. Shortly after finishing her studies, they packed up their Prius and headed to the Bay Area.<br /><br />Paul quickly realized he was made to be a realtor and was named "Rookie of the Year" and a top-producing agent his first year in the game (2013). Jade continued working in the field of education, as a curriculum and assessment specialist for UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science, and then as a teacher and leader in OUSD's Newcomer program. <br /><br />When they bought their first home in 2015, they got dirtier than they'd ever been and worked harder than they'd ever worked. Together, they sketched floor plans, demo-ed, designed, and built. Once finished with the majority of house projects, they were left with an enormous feeling of pride in the beautiful home they created...and also a newfound appreciation for a working stove and clean floors. <br /><br />Throughout the years, Jade helped Paul prepare buyer guides and listing presentations, but his dream came true when she decided she was ready to join him in real estate. Together, they founded Talbot Team, with the goal of helping families make real estate moves. Paul and Jade have lived in Berkeley and Oakland, but currently live in San Leandro with their two boys. Their second home was a semi-fixer, but they continue to find projects, big and little, to constantly improve the functionality and increase the value of their home. Both Paul and Jade love providing (free) consultations to anyone interested in making upgrades to their homes.</p>

I highly recommend working with Jade and Paul Talbot. They are incredibly professional, reliable, personable, and knowledgeable. They really went above and beyond to understand our needs and make the entire process go smoothly. Jade and Paul supported us with selling our old house, and we were very satisfied with our final sale price. They made some great recommendations for relatively minor, but high impact upgrades, which really improved the desirability of our house, and which we enjoyed while we were still living in the house. We added a half bathroom, created a walk in closet, and transformed our garage into a home office/guest room. They helped us from start to finish from talking through our budget, to making design decisions, to hiring and coordinating workers, to final staging and all the other details. They were also super helpful with helping us find and purchase our new house. They were available to walk us through the entire process with great insight into the various neighborhoods, pricing trends, potential house upgrades, and tips for making the strongest bid. Jade and Paul are amazing and we were so fortunate to work with them.

Our experience with Jade, Paul and the Talbot team was seamless from beginning to end. In the spring, they coordinated the sale of our San Leandro home. Jade and Paul are a power couple who use their strengths in marketing, home sale preparation and client planning to buy and sale homes. They're local agents who have a pulse on the area and truly listen and advocate for their clients. From our first encounter, we were impressed by how well prepared they were with materials, visuals and even an anticipated timeline for our sell. What I loved about Jade and Paul was their enthusiasm when they walked through our home. They shared their vision that highlighted the things we loved most about our home and worked with us to showcase the beauty and warmth of our property. They were realistic about all aspects of the sale and walked us through every step of the process. They literally created a roadmap of the prep process and took our input to develop a plan that we were comfortable with. Even during the final, most stressful steps of the move, Jade and Paul made sure we were ok and checked in on us. They were easy to work with, extremely accessible, efficient, professional and overall, just good people.

The Talbot Team assisted me with the sale of my single family home in the Estudillo Estates neighborhood of San Leandro, CA in July 2024. It was serendipity indeed that led me to find the Talbot Team. I wanted a local real estate agent and I was lucky that Jade & Paul reached out to me with one of their mailer brochures. After reading through their brochure, reaching out to them and then meeting with them I was happy to see that not only did they have recent experience selling properties my neighborhood, but they had actually previously lived in my neighborhood as well. I couldnt have planned it better. I really appreciated Jade & Paul being so close by to my location; as this made meetings and site visits easy to set up. I was also grateful for their extensive knowledge of local contractors, who we used to help get the property ready to sell. Every property needs some work; but for mine, we all agreed that this one needed some aEURoespecial attentionaEUR?. I appreciated the Team outlining several sale options for me to choose from, along with their recommendations. I vacated the property more than a month before the property was listed and moved to another state in another time zone and Jade & Paul completely facilitated the sale process from listing to close as smooth as if I was still there and they got me an excellent deal.

After our first meeting with Jade and Paul, we felt that they were the team to help us sell our property in San Leandro. They were both personable, prepared, and professional. Any negatives perceived by us were answered by them with solutions. We found that to be highly attractive (especially compared to other agents that we interviewed). Due to their expert marketing strategies, our property sold in two weeks with multiple offers! We were so impressed with them that we referred them to friends who are fielding offers now on their property. Jade and Paul are a dynamic team that yielded desired results for us! We highly recommend them! One final note, we are middle aged clients that fully trusted Jade and Paul because of their innovative and data driven strategies that paid off for us!

Jade and Paul came highly recommended by my sister's agent. They jumped right in and set up a time to meet and get to know us. They really listened to our wants and needs in a home and made thoughtful suggestions and recommendations. They were very responsive when we had questions or wanted to look at a property. They are super knowledgeable about the area and were honest and straightforward when reviewing potential properties. We loved working with Jade and Paul and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the East Bay.
