SELLERS

Anne's experience and knowledge of the market were invaluable in selling our home. Every bit of advice she gave us was 100% dead-on from the listing price, to the way the house was staged, to the contractor she paired us with to get the house on the market. I would highly recommend Anne to anyone looking to buy or sell in the East Bay. She's someone you can trust and someone who makes it her mission to do the best you.

When we decided to sell our home unexpectedly we turned to Anne for help. She provided us with masterful insight into the local market and what it would take to sell our home in the time of COVID-19. She worked with us to develop a strategy and to prepare our property for sale. All through the process, Anne was a sterling example of a real estate professional. She combines that with a personal touch and level of availability of service better than any I have ever seen. Anne capped this by negotiating a sale price for us that netted us a price well above our expected estimate. If you are looking to buy or sell, you won't find a better resource than Anne Feste.

Anne Feste is an excellent real estate agent. I wanted an agent, I could trust, and work for the best interest of my investment. Anne is honest and has years of experience and knowledge of the real estate market. Because she is respected in the real estate community, she has a wide network of agents; staging and construction contractors that supported marketing my condo to sell quickly. Her negotiation, communication, and personality skills worked in favor of my successful sale.
You would be lucky to work with Anne Feste!

Anne is the best there is. My husband and I recently sold our home in the East Bay and she was able to get us 25 competitive offers on our home, knocking the sale right out of the ballpark! At each step along the way, she was there to guide us and allay and anxieties about the sale process. She has also been our family's realtor for the last decade, buying and selling several homes between various family members, and she has displayed professionalism, caring, patience, expertise, and a great deal of intuitive knowledge with every transaction. Trusting Anne with our home sale was one of the best decisions we've made.

When my wife said we should use Anne for the sale of our Berkeley Victorian because her girlfriend had a good experience with her, I was dubious, because that's the way I am. But now that the sale is completely complete, I was wrong to doubt my wife's girlfriend. An agent is going to be called upon to do more than you think. Unexpected stuff comes up. How to price the property. What about the disclosures. To stage or not to stage. All cash, or not. What about contingencies. Picking the buyer. Negotiating the offers. At every step, Anne was cool and experienced. She knew her stuff and spoke with confidence. Everything she said would happen, happened.
When someone has a sizable chunk of their life savings on the line, you want Anne in your corner. No, seriously. You want Anne in your corner.

Anyone who thinks they can use an app to sell their home has not met Anne Feste!

This delightful, experienced, energetic, and whip-smart professional can never be replaced by a set of algorithms and we feel so lucky to have had her handle the sale of our family home in Oakland.

Let me count the reasons….

Anne was extremely strategic in her approach to selling our house: from setting the right list price, to creating a profile of prospective buyers, to sprucing up and staging our property to show off its best assets; everything Anne recommended made good solid sense with great bottom-line results. She’s great at marketing, networking, and negotiating.

Anne has integrity: she’s honest, straightforward, and tells it like it is. She has a tremendous work ethic and keeps you on track and in the loop.

Anne is very experienced: Anne has a carefully curated and dedicated group of partners (from personal bankers to painters) that she works with to provide turn-key services for whatever is needed to get your house ready for market. In addition to her years of success as an Agent, Anne is backed by an established and well-known firm that provides additional support to its representatives but still feels very local.

We would not hesitate for a split second to work with her again. We miss her already!

We can't say enough great things about Anne. We were so fortunate to have Anne as our realtor. She truly took away all of the stress that came with selling our home.

My family was facing a sudden out-of-state relocation from the Bay Area. We had to move out of our home and find contractors to make some improvements to the house before listing it; and all within an aggressive timeframe. When we met Anne, she showed us her project plan for all of the tasks and time frame each task would need to be completed by, and she identified the resources to make it all happen. We expressed our concerns about managing all of this while starting our new lives in another state. Anne said, "Don't worry. I got it."

Anne truly took care of all of it. While my family and I were getting settled with our new lives a thousand miles away, Anne would give us regular updates on how things were going. We didn't have to stress about any of it. Not only did Anne facilitate the improvements to the house, but she also found some untapped value with our home that helped us with our final sale price. Throughout all of this, she also took the time to get to know our neighbors to help ensure the buyer of our home would fit in with the neighborhood which was a big concern of ours.

If you want a realtor who listens to your needs, is organized and makes things happen, then Anne checks all of those boxes. We would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Anne Feste is a charming, delightful, and professional agent!

Her expertise and attention to all the details enabled us to achieve the highest dollar, we otherwise would not have seen on our home!

I highly recommend Anne's services!

Anne was a wealth of information as we worked to prepare our father-in-law's home for sale. Not only was her knowledge of the local market expert - she was a wealth of information for everything from who to work with for estate sale items to how best to prepare the property for viewing by potential buyers. This experience was so good that we again engaged her services to help us purchase a rental property.
