Roberta is brilliant and truly the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. We first met her at an open house she was hosting in Orinda. At the time, we didn’t yet have a realtor and were still figuring out where we wanted to land in the East Bay. Shortly afterward we shifted our search toward Walnut Creek, and Roberta immediately became an invaluable partner in the process. Because we were relocating from Los Angeles, we often relied on Roberta to be our eyes and ears on the ground. She toured more than 20 homes on our behalf, walking us through every detail with honesty and sharp insight—clearly explaining what would be a great fit for us and what wouldn’t. What made Roberta truly exceptional was how much effort she put into understanding us as people. She took the time to learn how we live, what we care about, and what kind of community would make us happiest. Before we ultimately chose Walnut Creek, she thoughtfully introduced us to several East Bay areas—including Berkeley, El Cerrito, and Pleasanton—to make sure we found the right place, not just a house. When it came time to make offers, Roberta was always three steps ahead. She understood the dynamics of every situation—timelines, competing offers, and how to structure a winning bid without encouraging us to overpay. In the end, we won our home against two competing offers—even though ours was the lowest purchase price. That outcome was no accident; it was the result of Roberta’s strategy, preparation, and negotiation skill. What impressed us just as much was what happened after the offer was accepted. During escrow, Roberta proactively connected us with contractors and even helped coordinate quotes so we could plan renovations in advance. Because of that preparation, we were able to start several remodel projects the very day we got the keys. Roberta goes far beyond what you expect from a realtor. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
