Our experience working with Eileen Townsend to buy our dream home in Oakland hills has been nothing less than spectacular. Right from the time we connected (through zillow) and then started talking on the phone, her professionalism and her knowledge about the real estate in the area impressed us. Our opinion of her competence and professionalism only got better when we actually met her and saw firsthand how prepared and experienced she was.
Being relatively new to the Bay Area we did not even know the areas that would work for us. Eileen quickly gauged our needs and what we were looking for, and expertly guided us through the entire home buying process. Her expertise, efficiency and professionalism, knowledge of the area and the market, and her networking were instrumental in getting us our dream home. We highly recommend Eileen and her team for all real estate needs.

Working with Kwesi to sell my home was an absolute pleasure. His deep knowledge of the East Bay market and his ability to navigate the complexities of the selling process made everything so much easier. Kwesi was always available to answer my questions, providing clear and insightful advice throughout the process. Thanks to his expertise, we received multiple offers, including several over the asking price. If you're looking for a realtor who truly knows his stuff and is committed to his clients, Kwesi is the one to go with!

Eileen helped us navigate a tough market and sell our place in the East Bay. I felt like she did everything humanly possible to get us the best price and a speedy sale. More so, I really enjoyed working with her as a teammate. Eileen is an extremely hard worker with a keen attention to detail and our collaboration was smooth across all the million little tasks involved in selling real estate in California. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!

We cannot recommend Kwesi Roberts highly enough for his exceptional service during our home buying journey. As first-time home buyers, the process could have been overwhelming, yet Kwesi was patient, understanding, and provided guidance every step of the way.
From the moment we began our search, Kwesi's knowledge and expertise in real estate was evident. He took the time to understand our needs and strived to find the perfect home, even before we fully knew what we were looking for.
The surprise Kwesi arranged for us at the key pickup was a delightful touch that we truly appreciate.
A month after the purchase, our appreciation for Kwesi's hard work in helping us secure our dream home has only grown.
For anyone seeking a realtor who is patient, attentive, efficient, and knowledgeable, we highly recommend Kwesi Roberts. He's not just a realtor; he's a guide, a connector, and a friend. Thank you, Kwesi, for making our first home buying experience such a joy!

sold a home in Montclair, 2023 -- within a year of buying it!
Eileen and her team did a fantastic job representing us for the sale of our house in the Montclair hills. While I was hesitant to want to stage the house and move out for open houses, Eileen assured us it was it was the best option to get the best price - and boy was she right! Eileen was also available to us at all times, and she definitely helped ease any nerves we may have had when those inevitable issues come up in the process of selling a house. We could not be happier with her and her team, and if we decide to buy again in the Bay Area, she will be the first call we will make! We highly recommend working with Eileen and her team because they are the best!

sold a home in Central Berkeley in 2023
Eileen did a fabulous job helping sell our house! I can't believe the volume of information she handles, the late hours she kept to move things ahead, and how she navigated a variety of interests at a time when striking the right note and making smart decisions mattered more than ever.

I was making a cross country move that was taking place during the height of the pandemic, Compass was godsend. We had to contend with time zone differences, and although I was able to work seamlessly with their website selecting homes from afar - she worked with me to physically visit several when I came into town. But we ultimately ended up doing it all remotely using Facetime for the walkthroughs while she provided detailed descriptions of the area and what she was experiencing. I was lucky enough to have family nearby who could follow up and she was available to let them in to take a look after I made my decision. Timing was of the essence and we worked well as a team to get the deal done relatively quickly. She worked with her team and mine to keep everyone on task to get to my closing table. After an emotionally charged year, and with the normal stress that comes with a life changing move - Megan's professionalism took a lot of the stress out of the process. She had the answers I needed to my questions and was extremely responsive. Then after I moved in, she referred me to a contractor, that built a beautiful custom set of bookshelves and closet for me.

purchased a home in Central Berkeley in 2023
Eileen was an invaluable asset to helping us buy a home in a very limited geographical area in Berkeley. We wanted to buy a home that was walking distance to amenities and to our children's school so it took us a very long time ~a year to find the right home. Anytime I saw a home that was interesting, I'd ask Eileen about it and she would always come back with very detailed information about exactly how much she thought it was worth, how much it would likely go for and she'd always come back with insightful information. When the houses sold, they'd always sell for sometimes exactly what Eileen thought it would go for. I knew I was in the right hands when I finally found the home that I actually wanted to make an offer on. The house had just gone on the market, Eileen and I visited it the very next day. She has been in the real estate world in Berkeley for so long that she is very well connected with all the agents in the area. In Berkeley's competitive real estate market where each home gets on average 4-5 offers, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have an agent like Eileen who has relationships and knows the other agents that are also working in the area. Our offer was ultimately in competition with 5 other offers and it was the first offer we wrote together and we won! The trickiest and most nerve wracking part is getting the offer price right and this is where Eileen really shines. In addition to her own insights, she was able to find and sleuth out information on comps in the area that was still pending. We could not have gotten this house without Eileen's help. Eileen's team helped keep everything on track during the closing period and we closed very quickly, without any hiccups. Eileen is also an invaluable resource for everything from finding home insurance to all types of different contractors. I found the best insurance rate from her list of insurance agents. I'm so glad we worked with Eileen. She really came through for us every time we needed her.
