I'm sure that reason I got my house was because of Lauren's skill and expertise. It was a very competitive property (10 offers!) and she made sure that we were in touch with the sellers at every step, checking in and getting as much information in the process as possible. She communicated clearly and consistently with me so I understood what was happening every step of the way. Lauren was also very helpful in the closing- she found me a insurance rate that will save me thousands of dollars a year, and could recommend contractors for various small bits of work that needed to be done on the property. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house.

I feel very lucky that I found Lauren. My husband and I were looking for a part time place in Oakland to be near family. We went back and forth on buying a house or condo and finally settled on a condo (for now). Lauren was extremely professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. She spent lots of time creating videos of potential homes that she thought we might like (with her commentary) - which I really appreciated. Coming from out of state, Lauren's knowledge of the neighborhoods and the market really helped us find the perfect place!

Dave was an absolute superstar to work with. After a disappointing experience with another agent/company, we were very hesitant, but Dave completely changed out home selling outlook. Dave and his team helped us sell our home quickly and made the entire process smooth and stress free. Dave is. incredibly knowledgeable about the housing market, highly professional, and always responsive. He kept us informed at every step, explained everything clearly, and made sure we understood and felt confident in every decision. Dave and his team at Cush Real Estate went above and beyond. We truly felt supported from day one. We can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy agent who delivers the highly quality results. Thank you Dave Higgins!

We're very grateful to friends for recommending David and Cush Real Estate. My transaction involved the sale of my mother's condo following her death. The Cush team handled all the details smoothly - including dealing with a very demanding HOA, which slowed and complicated the process. They were also very responsive - when I was initially overwhelmed by a barrage of emails, they produced a list of team members and vendors so that I'd know who I was dealing with. They are ultimate professionals: they know their job, they know their market and they are efficient, gracious, direct and lovely to deal with.

Fletcher is an absolutely amazing realtor! As a first-time homebuyer, he was incredibly helpful patiently guiding me through the complex and often times overwhelming process of purchasing a home. He was a recommendation from a friend who also purchased her first home, and it was the best decision I've ever made. He was also well-connected with high quality people, several of which help me though everything from inspections to the mortgage. He is passionate about helping people find the home of their dreams, and was even willing to tour 10 homes in 2 days simply because I wanted to fully vet my options before putting in my final offer that had gotten me my home. Even beyond purchasing the home, he is still there to provide help with any issues as we settle into the new home, with recommendations for anything ranging from plumbers to landscapers. He went above and beyond when it came to finding me my first home, as he has done with many others. He truly is a great realtor, as well as an incredible person to work with!
