TESTIMONIALS

We cannot thank and recommend Glennie enough for the phenomenal job she did in representing us as our buying agent. Being first-time home buyers, there is so much that is unknown, but Glennie truly went above and beyond in tending to our (I’m sure somewhat demanding) needs. She was informative and is genuinely a lovely person. Glennie always asked the right questions and was astutely able to navigate us in the right direction. She laid down the law when necessary, and set realistic expectations for us which is something we found so valuable. Glennie did a tremendous amount of groundwork and was always on the lookout for homes that met our requirements. It was a relief when, in this volatile and competitive market, a bid finally got accepted; but our journey with Glennie did not end there. We had purchased a house with unique circumstances and Glennie stuck by us and was a wonderful and diplomatic mediator between us, the selling agent, and the tenants. Even when some issues arose, Glennie was there to lend a hand. I always joked with her that she should be the mayor of Oakland, because Glennie always seemed to have a contact for whatever problem arose. After many months we were finally moved into what we can call our home, and are so grateful that we were able to work with Glennie and the Home Co.

Glennie and Ben helped my husband and I sell our house in Oakland and purchase another larger house for our family in Glenview. When buying we spent a year looking with Glennie trying to find the right fit for our family. They were considerate and thoughtful of our needs. They were extremely responsive and had excellent insight into the market. She has a keen sense of how much a property would go for and made sure that we found our dream house. When we finally found a house we loved Glennie helped us line up financing and submit a strong offer 24 hours after it had been listed. Thanks to Glennie's skill and attentiveness, we got the house! We then immediately began working with Glennie and Ben, to prep our house to sell. They made the place look stunning on a tight budget and in record time. Their attention to detail was impressive. They personally picked out every light fixture, door handle, tile, and more. Ben made sure all of the work was top-notch. Without a doubt, their exquisite style and understanding of the market helped us secure offers far above the Zillow estimates. Not only are we grateful for Glennie and Ben buying and selling the homes we also feel fortunate to make two new friends. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are honest, hard-working, and thoughtful.

Looking for a house, let alone the perfect house, in the Bay Area is no easy task. The process can be daunting, which is why it is so important to have a great realtor that knows the market, is friendly, and can help make the process as stress-free as possible. Glennie fulfilled all of this for us. Prior to finding Glennie and the Home Co. my husband and I worked with another realtor that was pushy and that we had little faith in. We were so relieved when we met Glennie. She listened to our needs and took into consideration our lifestyle desires in recommending properties to us. We trusted her. She was honest about her opinion of properties that we brought to her, looking out for our well-being to ensure that we did not buy a lemon. She always made us a priority and was timely in putting together our offer. With her help, we were able to purchase the first house that we put an offer on and we couldn't be more satisfied with where we are today. And as an added bonus, she is great with interior design! We would highly recommend working with Glennie and are a bit sad ourselves that we don't intend to move again ever because we will not get to work with her again.

Glennie was recommended to us by some friends and she did a wonderful job helping us buy our new home in East Bay. We were very impressed by Glennie's responsiveness and willingness to share insights. Since the market in the area is very aggressive, Glennie's ability to make herself available quickly for visits, or to communicate promptly with agents was key. This was particularly true in the bidding process. We are new to the area, and Glennie was very helpful in explaining to us the buying process in California, she was able to help answer the many questions we had. We also found the fact that Glennie works for a vertically integrated company and added a bonus. The Home Co does design and builds work (in addition to real estate). Glennie and her team were therefore able to help us understand the cost of repair or upgrade for some of the houses we visited. We would definitely work again with Glennie in the future and recommend her to our friends.

Ben is nothing short of fantastic if you are starting the daunting process of first-time homeownership. He is thorough, patient, savvy, and has great insider knowledge of the city of Oakland and the surrounding areas. He listened to my individual needs and concerns, and tailored his approach accordingly, giving me thoughtful and sound guidance. Working with him has made me feel so much more secure and knowledgeable about the process as a whole. In this challenging market, it's essential to feel like you have someone championing for your best interests, or you absolutely will get taken advantage of. I cannot recommend Ben more highly for anyone looking for both an expert in the field, and someone to give you peace of mind during the experience.
