SELLERS

I had the pleasure of having Anne Feste as my Realtor and Advocate in the sale of my home. There existed some challenges with the sale and Anne not only kept me informed each step of the way but developed a partnership with me in exploring creative sale strategies. Anne continually demonstrated integrity, impeccable ethics, and open communication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor.

Anne has been a joy to work with. This was my first time selling a home, and I was doing it out of state. Anne guided me throughout the process and oversaw all the renovations necessary to get the house market-ready. By following her recommendations, my home received multiple offers over asking price, and I was very happy with the outcome of the sale. Anne is extremely knowledgeable about her market area. She is responsive and made herself available whenever I needed her. Ultimately, I trust her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Absolutely one of the most professional, resourceful individuals I have had the pleasure to work with. She helped me prepare two homes for sale in an 18-month time span. Anne has a vision of how she believes a home will sell as soon as the project is started. The craftsmen she recommended always were efficient and did an exemplary job for a reasonable price. She was always available, organized, and a mentor for her junior staff. I was fortunate to learn so much in the timeframe I worked with her also. You definitely will not regret hiring Anne if you are buying or selling a home.

Anne has the knowledge, makes a plan with you, had her contractor do all the work I agreed to, kept me informed constantly. Took care of everything. I would highly recommend Anne Feste. I have sold many houses in Bay Area over the years. Anne is the very best real estate agent.

I chose Anne to represent me in selling my home in Oakland and was impressed with her knowledge of the market, her confidence in our marketing strategy/plan, and her connections. I had lived in the home for more than 10 years and it needed some cosmetic upgrades and repairs. Anne recommended a great team of professionals who got to work right away and did an excellent job in getting my home ready to sell. I was very pleased with the outcome and believe that the pre-sale prep we did contribute tremendously to the successful sale of my home. Anne was a great choice as a listing agent because she really took the time to understand my concerns, goals, and needs and then worked with me to create a plan and schedule that took all those things into account. Anne was responsive, confident, and intuitive and I would highly recommend her as an agent.

Ann is professional and knowledgeable. We liked Ann and felt she knew her market and the necessary information to price and sell our house at the highest fair price. I would use her again.

I had the pleasure of working with Anne to sell my condo in Oakland. A process that took an incredibly short 2 1/2 months. Anne knows the business extremely well making you feel like you have a real partner to help you through the process. She did an exceptional job negotiating the contract including the price. I had a prior commitment and needed to be out of the country for several weeks. Anne made sure all the logistical steps were completed. As I said I felt like I had a strong partner for what usually is a difficult process.

Anne Feste managed the sale of my father-in-law's house after his death. I interviewed six realtors and she was the most professional thoughtful and intelligent; her focus was not on flashy presentations, but my (the family's and the trust) needs and constraints. I can't say enough about the outstanding job she did on every front. I have worked with other realtors and there is no comparison--she redefined "outstanding" and customer satisfaction. Her ethics are inspirational; her advice pragmatic and yet still exciting. Unlike other realtors I have worked with, I felt respected and that I got more than I paid for. I have recommended her to some of the most difficult people I know--all of whom sing her praises.

I first met Anne at an Open House in Albany, CA. My husband and I were impressed with her knowledge of the local real estate market. We decided to work with Anne to sell an investment property we remodeled. She strategized the marketing plan with us, called in her team of cleaners, stagers and even picked up some plants for a little extra curb appeal. We received multiple offers, above the listed price within hours of putting the house on the market. Anne worked with us to evaluate the offers and helped us to sell the property quickly and with no surprises.
In 2011, we called on Anne to sell another property that was in disrepair. She helped us determine what to repair and called in her favorite General Contractor. Anne managed the repairs, with almost no effort on our part. Within a few weeks, the house was on the market with buyers flocking to present offers. Once again Anne worked with us to evaluate the offers and helped us to sell the property quickly and with no surprises. The selling price was over the listed price.
Anne is a top professional in the San Francisco Bay Area market. She keeps her clients informed and involved so you never have to wonder what is going on with your deal. She is really great to work with and I can't imagine doing a deal without her help.
