What do Clients Say?

I highly recommend Shelly. She represented us in buying our home in Piedmont. As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I really appreciated how Shelly guided us through the home-buying process in a supportive, informative, and “non-salesy” way. She was incredibly responsive and a great communicator, a skill she leveraged when working with the listing agents. Shelly knows the East Bay very well and helped us draft competitive offers (we only lost one before getting our house!). Beyond her extensive knowledge of the market, excellent communication skills, and general professionalism, Shelly is just an absolute pleasure to work with—you feel like you’re talking to a friend, which is exactly what you want when going through the stressful home buying process. We can’t thank her enough for helping us get our dream home.

Shelly is an amazing agent and an awesome person. She is dedicated to her clients, extremely knowledgeable, masterful in negotiations, and she seems to have almost a sixth sense in matching people with homes. She does all this with honesty, positivity, directness, and a big smile... I feel lucky to have worked with her.

Shelly has helped me buy and sell 3 times now. I would recommend Shelly and her rockstar team to all my friends. She is dynamic, creative, and a go-getter. You want her on your side. I'm lucky to have a realtor who has become my friend.

We bought an investment condo with Shelly's help in 2012. She's the best agent we've ever had, period! She helped us view many properties before we finally purchased this investment property. She really went the extra mile for us. When we sold this property in 2019, we again went to Shelly to list the property, and everything went really smoothly thanks to her knowledge and experience in the market.

What a pleasure it was to have Shelly lead the team to sell my parent's condo in Oakland. We found her based on reviews we saw online and she lived up to (and exceeded!) our expectations. I think Shelly has a special alchemy in what she does - she blends her extensive knowledge and experience of the local market, people, and the business of the real estate profession in a way that produces golden results. I felt that the more we trusted her voice and decisions -- from renovating, staging, pricing, marketing -- the better the overall outcome was able to emerge. And to do all of this with optimism, kindness, and integrity...I'm forever grateful we were able to work with her as we help our parents transition into retirement.
