When the real estate agent with whom we had been working suddenly departed before completing our home sales listing, Allie stepped in and flawlessly and professionally completed the process. She has a vision of how to work with spaces to create beautiful areas and engage more buyers so that once they enter the home, they want to stay and make it their own. She excels in the home preparation process, both inside and out, and even goes in after the stagers to make the homes she is selling feel as good to buyers as possible to draw the highest price. Allie works to elevate the space and is always thinking about where to spend in order to get the seller more. We were able to leave all of the project management and our home to Allie. After getting multiple offers, and great negotiation, we got $1342 per sq ft in an area where the average is $860. Allie brings her real estate experience, negotiation skills, and integrity to the home selling process, as well as her expertise in design and artistry. We are so glad that we got the chance to work with Allie.
We are so happy that we worked with Allie. Her responsiveness, negotiation skills, project management, representation, and ability to keep everyone moving forward even when issues arose made a huge difference in the sale of our house. We were concerned about upcoming changes in interest rates impacting the sale price of our home. She listened and cared about our opinions, needs, and concerns and moved fast. Allie was able to prepare our house in 10 days after we moved out - paint, floors, replace lighting, bathroom refreshes with new enamel and mirrors, photos, video, even moving an electrical panel - she managed it all. She transformed our home and got it on market quickly. She is detail-oriented and car…We are so happy that we worked with Allie.

She transformed our home and got it on market quickly. She is detail-oriented and cares about being exceptional in order to get the highest price for her clients. Allie was easy-going and calm, a pleasure to work with, and she was firm with her communication when she felt her expertise would matter in the price we would get. Allie got multiple offers after only 5 days on the market. Allie managed the transaction process, and when there were hiccups along the way, she made sure to keep things going in the right direction and manage everyone’s emotions and responses so that in the end we got the highest price - over 9 months later it is still the record price per square foot for the entire neighborhood by a substantial amount. We are so happy that we trusted her because we got the highest price ever per sq foot by hundreds of dollars in our neighborhood, which translated into over $500,000 above comparable expectations for us.
In a daunting market that is seeming unprecedented in its competitiveness and nuance, we were very nervous to go through the process of buying our first home. Allie was a tremendous steward throughout the entire process and taught us everything that we needed to be successful in the market. She hopped on multiple zoom calls to walk us through how to read a disclosure packet which was invaluable in our decision-making, specifically on some houses that we actually avoided offering on because of our newfound acumen. She was a fierce advocate for our experience with the balance to find something right in the middle of perfect vs what we could afford. No easy task with our needs! Lastly, she had small touches …In a daunting market that is seeming unprecedented in its competitiveness and nuance, we were very nervous to go through the process of buying our first home.

Lastly, she had small touches throughout the process that mattered and made all the difference. Most notably, dinner on our first night in the home that she sent to the house when she knew we were exhausted from moving! Very appreciative of Allie and would recommend her to anyone but especially first-time buyers who need to learn the process.
Allie helped us to find our first home in one of Oakland's most competitive neighborhoods during an extraordinary time. We connected with Allie and began our search just as the Covid-19 pandemic was causing all of the rules and processes to change. Allie seamlessly rolled with the changes, making us feel completely at ease the entire time. As a first-time homeowner, you want to be sure you are buying a house you absolutely love. While the process can be disheartening at times in such a competitive market, Allie never made us feel rushed and enthusiastically showed us every one of the houses we asked to see, seemingly making herself available to us at all times. She also did not waste our time on any house…Allie helped us to find our first home in one of Oakland's most competitive neighborhoods during an extraordinary time.
