We were first time home buyers and unsure of where exactly we wanted to buy a home in the Bay Area. Anna spent a lot of time and effort showing us a lot of houses in different parts of the Bay Area. This really helped us assess which neighborhood we wanted to live in. She is very responsive and organized and made the whole process stress free.
Anna May was wonderful from the very start of our time working together. She handled everything very professionally, from setting up appointments, to phone calls, to reviewing documents and explaining the entire process. I really felt like a highly-valued client working with her. She understands the market and the real estate industry and did a good job of educating me as a client about the things I needed to know without making me feel overwhelmed by all the information or under-informed. She was always available via multiple channels and I never once felt like I was out of touch with any step of the process but I also felt that I could step back and let her do what she excels at. I highly recommend Anna May for anyone entering/re-entering (buyers) the market as well as those exiting (sellers) the real estate market.
We chose Anna May because of her local roots and were so glad we did. She was a step ahead of all the moving parts of our homebuying process and kept communication clear between all parties when we hit inevitable delays. A joy to work with! Highly recommend!
"With so many flakes in the real estate business it's sometimes hard to find one who is reputable. Ann May helped sell our property. We live in New England so it was important to get someone to look after our interest. Ann May and Reality World did an amazing job of handling the entire process from start to finish with no issues. I never worried or wondered what was going on because she keep me in the loop. Even the Title Company she uses did a fantastic job. What a pleasure to work with a professional you can trust. Great job Ann May!!! This Organization truly deserves its 5 star rating."
Straight forward, down to earth, totally professional.We were on a very short time schedule and Anna was able to sell our house in a week from the day we listed the property with her.I will not rate the negotiating skill section as she also represented the buyer as a dual agent.However, we were able to get everything we needed to make the sale work for our situation. Quick sale ,fast close, lease back to give time to move out.I would totally reccomend Anna May to any one looking to sell a home in the greator Hayward area.
I selected Anna and Greg to help us sell our home for several reasonsExperience, professionalism, they follow all the rules to the T. But the main reason I chose them is because they are both very involved in the city which means they know the Ins and outs which is very important especially if you're buying in the area.
Anna May was great to work with and she helped my husband and I get our top-choice house. She was communicative and prompt in responding to our questions. Even though she did some traveling while she was working with us, she made sure that she will still available to us when needed. She was also confident in her skills as a realtor, which was important and reassuring for us. In our interactions with her, she was pleasant, warm, and professional. She was also respectful of our wishes in terms of what we were looking for in a house. Overall, the whole process of buying a home went relatively smoothly.
Words cannot describe how wonderful it is to work with Anna May and Greg Jones. I interviewed 2 people to help me find my new home and as much as I was torn between the 2 at first I was drawn to Anna May. I also recognized her from the gym. :-) I met with her in her office to sign the agreement and she insisted I understand the documents I was signing before signing them. From that moment on, we were a team in my eyes but from her perspective she worked for me. She is very responsive and that is extremely imp[important to me. I can't imagine working with anyone else after working with her and her team. And I have made a friend!
This is our second home to sell with Anna May and it went seamlessly, just like the first. We followed her advice and the home was sold a short time later. The experience for us was very easy. Thank you Anna
I have used Anna May twice to sell property and both times it was fast and easy, very pleased. We were able to get a good price in a slowing market. Professional and courteous.Thanks!
She's very good at what she does I have no complaints with Her and very knowledgeable and helpful and kind and warm and generous I would recommend her to anybody.
Anna May was recommended by a close family friend, for which we are forever grateful. Anna is a true professional, a blessing to have on your side in one of the biggest transactions of anyone's lifetime. She was able to guide us through an ever changing market and provided experienced insights into what buyers were looking for and where our home stood in relation to that. She is able to temper seller expectations and keep her clients on course to the finish line. It was a pleasure working with her. She and her partner Greg are very relatable with a great sense of humor, which is needed to get through the ups and downs of the home selling process. Anna May was able to match our expedited timeline. She helped us sell our home in a market that had gone flat after a wild spring market which had set unrealistic expectations for potential sellers and led to many more properties coming on the market and saturating inventory. Thank you, Anna May!
I am pleased to say that our experience with Anna May was outstanding. Professional in every respect, friendly, expert, knowledge of the area and always available within minutes to answer a question or keep us informed of developments in the sale of our condo. Our condo sale was a probate sale and Anna had great knowledge in guiding our us through that process. Her preparation of our unit to include hiring and directing cleaners, handymen and stagers was critical to the sale of our condo for more than the asking price. I highly recommend her!
The process was short concise and even after the transaction we were still taken care of with an amazing amount of care. Anna May is a full service professional and can assist you with all aspects of a real estate transaction.Thank you!
Anna May (and her partner Greg Jones) helped me buy my first place. They were great to work with. Very responsive, provided a fair assessment of properties that I saw, answered all my questions, educated me on the process. Anna knows Hayward inside and out. Anna patiently worked with me until I was ready to pull the trigger. With Anna's negotiation skills, I beat out a cash offer to get my new place.
Thank you for your excellent customer service. Anna has helped us with two homes purchases. She is professional, knowledgeable and responsive. It was always a pleasure working with Anna
Anna May is an excellent and professional realtor. Always prompt with a reply to any inquiry, she was always on top of any new development in any deal. She has intimate knowledge of the area having grown up locally and presided over many real estate transactions. We were not the winning bid on a number of deals because we didn't have enough money to win them. Anna was never discouraged and was always our champion. We did eventually win a bid to buy a house and we won not because we were the highest bid but because of how professionally presented the offer was. That was all the work of our realtor. She also negotiated down the closing costs for us with the seller after we had inspections done. In addition to real estate, her local knowledge extends into inspectors, contractors, and all other local home service professionals. If you need anything for your house she will surely have a recommendation. I give her my highest recommendation.
Anna is perhaps one of the most genuine realtors in the industry. While some realtors might tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you need to hear. She really knows the industry in and out.After briefly meeting Anna back in 2008 (during the downturn in the real estate market) I knew that I wanted her as my agent during my recent sale. From the start, her and her partner Greg provided me with a very accurate analysis of my home with intelligent recommendations. She is very thorough and throughout the whole process, she always kept me updated of necessary repairs, inspections and legal matters that need addressing - and she was always there to handle it. What I really admire about her is her ability to handle every situation diplomatically and in a professional manner, that is something worth noting in today's industry where there is almost an endless supply of realtors. She is able to keep the focus on the main goal of getting things done in a timely manner even when unexpected situations come up.And most of all, she cares. At the end day, there may be some realtors who see a transaction just a sale, but Anna realizes that for some (as in my case) that it was not just a home, but the home I grew up in. throughout the entire process she had great respect for that and always kept that in mind during the sale of the house.
It was that time in our lives- we graduated law school, passed the bar, and started our careers. We were tired of seeing our hard-earned money go out the window every month with nothing to show for it. It was time to get serious and invest in property. When I told my Uncle Chris that we were looking to buy a home, he referred us to Anna May and Greg Jones immediately. My Uncle was very familiar with their reputations and work throughout the community. His words exactly (as I paste them here) were: "They will take great care of you." After meeting with Anna and Greg, we formalized our working relationship by signing an Exclusive Buyer Representation Agreement. We reviewed information explaining the difference between "buyer customers" and "Buyer Clients" and we felt extremely comfortable in having Anna and Greg represent us. From the get-go, Anna and Greg were enthusiastically committed to our cause. They utilized various forms of media (newsletters, websites, blog posts etc.) and attended real estate marketing meetings to promote us as Exclusive Buyer Clients. We set a schedule and saw available homes on a consistent basis. Anna and Greg paid close attention to our (sometimes vacillating) requirements, shared keen insight and professional experiences, and provided us firsthand knowledge of various neighborhoods. It was through Annas tenacious advocacy in particular that we were ultimately able to find and buy our dream home. As most are aware, the market in the Bay Area is ridiculously competitive. Anna and Greg were very proactive in putting together complete offer packages even before showing property so that we would be the first in line in the event that we liked the home. Even though other (much higher) offers came in on our home, it was ours that stuck out- we were the first to bid and we had a proactive, knowledgeable and communicative team representing us.Anna and Gregs work did not end once our offer was accepted. They made sure everything went smoothly with our lender and prepared a package for the appraiser to justify value. Looking at our calendar, it is unbelievable how quickly we closed (only 35 days). This time frame included Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. A few notes about our experience: 1) We were never pressured to bid on a property;2) Anna and Greg took on the role of advisors/educators, not sales people; 3) They worked to ensure that we felt 100% comfortable with every decision we made;4) We were in constant communication about all aspects of the process; 5) They were always available to answer questions even when on vacation (on Thanksgiving, and Christmas!)We cannot recommend Anna May and Greg Jones highly enough. For us they are not just our real estate agents but new neighbors and great friends.
Anna May was extremely professional in all aspects of the sale of our house. She has a vast knowledge of the real estate market as well as the specific ordinances in our area. She has great communication skills and was able to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend Anna to sell your home.

I have had about eight home purchase/sale transactions in my life, and Anna was the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. Her experience showed in her knowledge of all the details ones needs to know in selling a home in California, with its many rules and regulations. She always maintained a calm demeanor, helping me ease any anxieties about the process. She was very responsive whenever we had questions. I highly recommend her.

Anna May did an excellent job on all aspects of the sale of our home, from recommending updates, pricing, and negotiating the sale. While I was out of town, she worked with the contractor to ensure that the work at the house was completed on time and with quality. After completing the upgrades, the home was priced right. Anna's marketing strategy and open houses quickly generated multiple offers. Anna made recommendations on the offers and negotiated a sale above the asking price. Anna and her team worked closely with the buyer's agent and escrow company for a smooth close. I recommend Anna based on our positive experience.
