Eileen Townsend

"Eileen helped us navigate a tough market and sell our place in the East Bay. I felt like she did everything humanly possible to get us the best price and a speedy sale. More so, I really enjoyed working with her as a teammate. Eileen is an extremely hard worker with a keen attention to detail and our collaboration was smooth across all the million little tasks involved in selling real estate in California. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!" - Zoltan sold a home in NOBE in 2024


"As long-time residents of San Francisco, owning a home here has always been a dream for our family, and thanks to Eileen, that dream is now a reality. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional experience we had working with Eileen! From the very beginning, Eileen took the time to truly get to know us—our needs, our preferences, and even our anxieties about the process. We were complete beginners when it came to real estate, but Eileen patiently educated us every step of the way. Her extensive knowledge of the market, combined with years of experience, made us feel like we had a true expert on our side. We always felt informed, supported, and never pressured. Eileen’s confidence helped us navigate what can be an overwhelming market, and her connections were invaluable. She was also always available to answer questions and offer advice–whether through text, email, phone calls, or in-person. What really set Eileen apart, though, was her kindness, honesty, and trustworthiness. She genuinely cared about helping us find the perfect home. We highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a real estate agent who truly cares about her clients." - Megan purchased a home in Outer Richmond, SF in 2024


"Our experience working with Eileen Townsend to buy our dream home in Oakland hills has been nothing less than spectacular. Right from the time we connected (through zillow) and then started talking on the phone, her professionalism and her knowledge about the real estate in the area impressed us. Our opinion of her competence and professionalism only got better when we actually met her and saw firsthand how prepared and experienced she was. Being relatively new to the Bay Area we did not even know the areas that would work for us. Eileen quickly gauged our needs and what we were looking for, and expertly guided us through the entire home buying process. Her expertise, efficiency and professionalism, knowledge of the area and the market, and her networking were instrumental in getting us our dream home. We highly recommend Eileen and her team for all real estate needs." - Farah purchased a home in Montclair, Oakland in 2024


"Eileen has been always professional, kind and responsible. We had the pleasure of working with her to sell our property, and the entire process exceeded our expectations. Eileen has been taking of everything since we contacted her and her dedication, attention to detail, and market knowledge made the experience seamless and stress-free. Highly recommended to anyone looking to sell their property!" - Gaoyuan sold a condo, Pacific Park Plaza, Emeryville in 2024


"Eileen was an invaluable asset to helping us buy a home in a very limited geographical area in Berkeley. We wanted to buy a home that was walking distance to amenities and to our children's school so it took us a very long time ~a year to find the right home. Anytime I saw a home that was interesting, I'd ask Eileen about it and she would always come back with very detailed information about exactly how much she thought it was worth, how much it would likely go for and she'd always come back with insightful information. When the houses sold, they'd always sell for sometimes exactly what Eileen thought it would go for. I knew I was in the right hands when I finally found the home that I actually wanted to make an offer on. The house had just gone on the market, Eileen and I visited it the very next day. She has been in the real estate world in Berkeley for so long that she is very well connected with all the agents in the area. In Berkeley's competitive real estate market where each home gets on average 4-5 offers, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have an agent like Eileen who has relationships and knows the other agents that are also working in the area. Our offer was ultimately in competition with 5 other offers and it was the first offer we wrote together and we won! The trickiest and most nerve wracking part is getting the offer price right and this is where Eileen really shines. In addition to her own insights, she was able to find and sleuth out information on comps in the area that was still pending. We could not have gotten this house without Eileen's help. Eileen's team helped keep everything on track during the closing period and we closed very quickly, without any hiccups. Eileen is also an invaluable resource for everything from finding home insurance to all types of different contractors. I found the best insurance rate from her list of insurance agents. I'm so glad we worked with Eileen. She really came through for us every time we needed her." - Lin purchased a home in Central Berkeley in 2023


"We had a fantastic experience with Eileen as our realtor in Berkeley! She's undoubtedly a top-notch realtor who knows Berkeley like the back of her hand, making her an invaluable asset to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. Her openness, honesty, and caring nature set her apart from the rest. Eileen was always patient and gave us plenty of time to make the right decision without any pressure. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure they find the perfect home. Eileen closed the deal fast and made the entire home buying process smooth and stress-free. If you are looking for a realtor in Berkeley, Eileen is who you want. Thank you, Eileen, for your exceptional service and professionalism!" - Mohammed purchased a Berkeley home, 2023, for his sons attending Cal, renting to other students as well


"Eileen and her team did a fantastic job representing us for the sale of our house in the Montclair hills. While I was hesitant to want to stage the house and move out for open houses, Eileen assured us it was it was the best option to get the best price - and boy was she right! Eileen was also available to us at all times, and she definitely helped ease any nerves we may have had when those inevitable issues come up in the process of selling a house. We could not be happier with her and her team, and if we decide to buy again in the Bay Area, she will be the first call we will make! We highly recommend working with Eileen and her team because they are the best!" - Laura sold a home


"Eileen and her team made this process so easy! Whenever anything needed to be done or changed they always let us know and gave us simple easy instructions to follow! This was a big project and the house was beautiful when it was time to list! Everyone involved was very knowledgeable and professional. When we didn’t understand something they were extremely patient and explained it until we understood. I would definitely encourage anyone getting ready to sell or buy a home to look into working with this incredible team. Thank you all so much!" - Sabina sold her home in Berkeley, March 2022


"They were great - I listed with them - they suggested an asking price, I had it professionally staged with one of their recommended vendors. Had several offers >100k over asking. Closed early - great experience." - Les sold a loft style condo, December 2021


"Eileen was great to have taking care of me selling my home and a great help with paperwork and everything else. She makes it all so much easier and better. I can't say enough." -Craig sold his home in Montclair Hills, July 2021


"We were very grateful that a family member connected us to Eileen when we were first starting our hunt for a home in the Bay Area. With demand through the roof we knew it was a tough time to buy (especially in our price range) and it was so reassuring to have Eileen’s experience, connections, and ‘get to work’ attitude in our corner. The Bay Area is a tough market in the best of times and we faced a steep learning curve, but Eileen was able to refer us to a wonderful lender and she really worked with us to find something that met our needs and our budget, even when it meant branching out and exploring many different neighborhoods and properties. We so appreciated her willingness to discuss and deliberate over the many details of each property so that we were really making an informed decision. We could not be happier with the perfect house that we now call home! Thanks, Eileen!" - Alexandra & Gareth bought a home in San Leandro, April 2021


"Eileen Townsend was very professional and experienced. We used her services to sell two homes in West Oakland. I would certainly recommend her and use her services again." -Ailinh sold two homes in West Oakland, January and February 2021


"During these weird pandemic times, I chose Eileen to guide me in purchasing a condominium in the East Bay through the recommendation of another respected real estate professional in another county. Eileen helped me along the process of searching, showings, procuring the loan, reams of virtual paperwork and closing. This can be a stressful process and Eileen’s expertise was reassuring and, essential, actually. She listened to what was important to me, and what was important to me was owning the parking spot that went with the unit. She noticed a discrepancy in the paperwork regarding the parking spot not being included in the Deed, and even though it was late in the process and a lesser realtor would probably have just shuffled it off, she went to bat for me and got the parking spot included in the grant Deed, doing whatever needed to be done to make it right. This is one fantastic realtor! You could not ask for a better professional than Eileen Townsend." - Beth purchased a condo in Grand Lake in 2021


"My long-time rental in Berkeley was not the easiest to let go … I donated it for tax purposes and that made it a complicated transaction with many details to watch. Eileen was careful with all the detail … One of Eileen’s strengths is that she recognized what’s needed – both from a “task” perspective and the human perspective … and jumped on it and keep the task moving forward, while paying proper attention to the level of detail needed to comply with complicated legal/tax/paperwork needs, all while being supportive." - Beverley sold a Boarding House in Berkeley, August 2020


"I sold my (beloved) house in Oakland in record time and for a much higher price than I expected. And I absolutely credit Eileen’s skills for this successful sale. From her files, she was able to pull the names of stagers, a sewer guy and a roofer who saved the day when they were needed. She also managed them for me, as I had no time to do that myself. On top of that, Eileen is a pleasure to deal with, a smart analyst of situations, and an island of calm and courtesy in the transactions tempest." - Isabelle Gerard sold a home in Redwood Heights, Oakland, October 2019


"We knew our home needed some updates to prepare for sale but wanted to keep our costs down to a manageable level. Eileen recommended a company to review the home and make recommendations. They were an excellent company and provided quite a few options and costs to consider. Although, honestly, some of the recommendations didn't make sense to us. Would that update really be beneficial? Would this update really be worth the expense? With Eileen's experience and expertise, we were able to work out the best combination of improvements that would both fit within our budget as well as appeal to prospective buyers. The home looked wonderful when all the work was done, and we received top dollar! That's a testament to Eileen's knowledge of the market and her ability to balance all of our needs in this process. We appreciate Eileen's attention to detail, willingness to answer all of our questions and ability to make us feel like we were always her top priority. She's got a great personality and excellent communication skills. You can't go wrong having Eileen as your representative." - Pilly sold a home in Berkeley, June 2019


"Eileen was a joy to work with. She assessed our home and determined that a design transformation was the best option for us and connected us with an excellent firm that did a masterful job. She also helped us with the process of deciding which improvements were worth spending money on. The coordination between Eileen and the remodeling team was very smooth, and they were always on the same page. The transition to taking photos, putting the house on the market, and holding open houses and offering tours was entirely orchestrated by Eileen and went like clockwork from our perspective. After just a few weeks we had many offers, and Eileen took care of negotiating some of them up on the same day. We were thrilled with the outcome which exceeded our expectations by a long way. Eileen was always very professional and positive through the whole process, and I was impressed with her skill and insight at every turn." - Geoff & Edith sold a home in El Cerrito, March 2018
