Working with Tanja was the best experience.
My wife and I were pregnant and had our baby within 1 week of working with her. She was patient with our home search. We actually placed an offer on a home we loved that first week, but unfortunately we were out bid. Due to the competitiveness of the housing market in the bay area, we were tempted to search in higher ranges and place higher offers, however we had to reel it back and we continued to be patient with our search until we found the right home. We eventually did and Tanja helped us place an offer at the right price to get the home without overspending. This was outstanding. We ended up with the perfect house for us and we could not have done it without her.
Tanja excels with knowledge of the market, as Oakland typically under prices. There were many homes we thought were in our range but it turned out the sellers wanted 100k-200k over the asking. This helped us not even look at these homes due to over budget.
She also is extremely informative and detailed with the inspections and disclosures. Every home before putting an offer we discussed all the disclosures to make sure we were ok with what we were offering. She is big on drainage, foundation, and pointing out areas which some people do not see.
Overall great experience and we would use her again and recommend to anyone.
