RAVE REVIEWS

★★★★★
“You really get two for the price of one! Matt & Peter sold our Oakland home for a price that still dazzles us. They were so patient with these senior citizens who hadn't a clue of what we were doing. They listened intently and gently guided us to make all the right decisions to get the process speeding ahead.” -Jane

★★★★★
“They got us into our amazing home, under asking, and we didn't think we could be happier. When our work took us out of the Bay and it was time to sell, the first thing we did was text Matt & Peter. I'm pretty sure it was within 24 hours that we had a full plan from them on how they were going to sell our home while we were across the country and wouldn't have to lift a finger.” -Conor

★★★★★
“Hiring Matt and Peter was the best decision I've made in years. They did such an amazing job selling my Oakland condo that I wish I could hire them for everything. I'd already moved out of state when I contacted them, and they were able to run the show with as much or as little input as I wanted. Not only was working with them a pleasure, they made me a lot of money.” -Christina

★★★★★
“They made the house a showpiece, photography was next level, they built a website for our home, and were strategic with the pricing. Every step of the way they guided us and helped us, and I truly felt like Matt & Peter were 'our guys' in the process, making it SOOO less stressful than I expected.” -Stephen

★★★★★
“Matt and Peter are beyond Realtors. They were coaches, market experts and advisors. They had us in our house within 1 month of looking at houses together. They communicate like nobody's business. They fight for you. They are professional, on top of everything and - holy cow - they know this market. Really. They know what it takes to win here, at any price level. They will not sugarcoat - but that's a good thing, especially when working with a solid real estate partner.” -Natalie

★★★★★
“Matt and Peter handled the sale of two properties flawlessly. Under their expert eye, the properties were prepared, and the end result made me proud when showing it to my friends and family. The entire experience was stress/anxiety free; I cannot thank them enough for handling all the details and preparation for the sale (painting, cleaning, repairs, etc).” -Ada

★★★★★
“Several years ago we worked with Matt + Peter to buy our first home together in Oakland. A few years and a child later, we worked with them again to sell our house as we moved to the East Coast to be closer to family. They are professional, kind, organized, strategic, and very importantly, don't waste your time. Especially with a young child this time around, it would have been difficult to stay on top of all the logistics involved with selling our house if it had not been for them. They coordinated so much on our behalf, and had folks we could easily get on board to help paint, do yard work, stage, take photos, etc. - it felt very full service.” -Chelsea

★★★★★
“They sold our loft in East Oakland for a great price. My husband and I were in the process of moving from CA to Boston and were navigating tight timelines, a home search on the other end, and the emotional aspect of leaving our home! They made the process unbelievably painless by being explicit in what would need to be done, what we could expect, and how to make it work for the best price.” – Rosemary
