The Difference You’ve Been Seeking
A journalist and marketing expert. A wilderness guide. Two chefs. An international ballet performer. Homeowners and investors. Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda and Contra Costa residents. Uncommon compatriots? Or just the right combination of strength, detail orientation, book-learning plus street smarts, and most of all, heart... because doing real estate in the Bay Area calls for all of the above.
If you're lucky, when you close a real estate deal in the fast-paced, competitive Bay Area market, you'll be able to say you "succeeded." That's a given, and just the beginning, when working with Eileen Townsend & Team. How often can you also say about your real estate deal that "it made sense," you understood every step, you felt heard, you enjoyed genuine trust in the professionals who served you, and you'd not only do it all again, you'd WANT to do it again just because we made it simple, and it was fun?
Hundreds of buyers and sellers trace the success – and their enjoyment of -- their real estate transactions to the unusual path Eileen Townsend followed to becoming a Realtor, which created the unique combination of skills, vantage-point, and systems now shared by Eileen Townsend & Team. Before licensing as a Realtor and Broker in 2003, while following a career as a journalist and Marketing/PR executive, Eileen survived five executive relocations – coast to coast and back again -- buying and selling a dozen homes and investment properties in 6 states in the process -- kids and pets in tow. "It's personal for me," Eileen explains. "I take each client's goals to heart; I have to make it right for them, as I did for my kids each time we had to leave our home, often unexpectedly, and start over."
Thanks to that high-touch style, combined with exactitude in the many details of real estate, and the judgment that comes from solving thousands of problems over hundreds of transactions over decades of deal-making, Eileen engenders trust among clients and peer professionals. She has become known as "the calm within the eye of the storm" of real estate. It was when a fellow Realtor, noting her unique style in working with clients, asked Eileen to become her mentor that Eileen launched Eileen Townsend & Team.
Now, like-minded Realtors share systems and style toward the goal of delivering a "different and better" experience – and being personally involved in their clients' success. Each individual agent with Eileen Townsend & Team brings the calm of confidence to a process many otherwise find confusing. While we each have different strengths to add to your experience, we ground our service with two basic principles: "Knowledge is Power." And "The Decision is Yours."
By equipping you with the former, we empower you toward the latter.
