About Paul Talbot

Jade and Paul met in Hawaii in 2012, Paul was a surfer and teacher who hadn't worn shoes in months. Jade was a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Azerbaijan 2009-2011), reintegrating back into a world with WIFI (and bathrooms) inside every home. Paul followed Jade to the East Coast and found another teaching job. He visited Jade each weekend in NYC, where she earned her Master's Degree from Columbia University. Shortly after finishing her studies, they packed up their Prius and headed to the Bay Area.Paul quickly realized he was made to be a realtor and was named "Rookie of the Year" and a top-producing agent his first year in the game (2013). Jade continued working in the field of education, as a curriculum and assessment specialist for UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science, and then as a teacher and leader in OUSD's Newcomer program. When they bought their first home in 2015, they got dirtier than they'd ever been and worked harder than they'd ever worked. Together, they sketched floor plans, demo-ed, designed, and built. Once finished with the majority of house projects, they were left with an enormous feeling of pride in the beautiful home they created...and also a newfound appreciation for a working stove and clean floors. Throughout the years, Jade helped Paul prepare buyer guides and listing presentations, but his dream came true when she decided she was ready to join him in real estate. Together, they founded Talbot Team, with the goal of helping families make real estate moves. Paul and Jade have lived in Berkeley and Oakland, but currently live in San Leandro with their two boys. Their second home was a semi-fixer, but they continue to find projects, big and little, to constantly improve the functionality and increase the value of their home. Both Paul and Jade love providing (free) consultations to anyone interested in making upgrades to their homes.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie! As first-time homebuyers, we were pretty nervous about the whole process, but from our very first meeting, Katie was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Her background in teaching served her so wellaEUR"she has a real gift for explaining complex real estate concepts in ways that actually make sense, and she was endlessly patient with all our questions (and there were a lot of them!). Here's the thing about buying a homeaEUR"it's an emotional roller coaster with a lot of expected ups and downs. Katie guided us through all of it with such grace and encouragement. She was always willing to talk or meet with us when we needed her opinion and guidance, never making us feel like we were bothering her or asking too much. Her knowledge of the areas where we were searching was invaluableaEUR"she really helped us understand the nuances of different neighborhoods and find the perfect fit for our needs. What we appreciated most was that Katie never once made us feel pushed or under pressure. She truly listened to what we wanted and advocated for our best interests every step of the way. Her approach was always supportive and empowering, helping us make informed decisions with confidence. Honestly, closing on our home was bittersweet because it meant no more regular interactions with Katie! We would absolutely love to work with her again in the future and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring real estate agent. We have Katie to thank for making our first home-buying experience so positive!

Mathew was such a good and unexpected surprise. We walked over to an open house and he was there doing the showing. We felt in love with the house, and even though we had just met, he made sure to help us out getting our dream home. We saw the house in a Saturday, and on Tuesday the offer was already in place and things moving. Very responsive, the attention to detail, knowledge, and helpfulness were some of the things that will not forget. We also had a lot of things in common, with made us feel super safe with him! Hopefully we are going to have the chance to do more business with you, my friend!

We met Jade and Paul when they were the sellers agent of the first home we purchased. They did such a good job getting such a good offer from us, we thought aEURoedang we want them on our team.aEUR? We stayed in touch with Jade and Paul while we dove into the joys (and tribulations) of new homeownership. They were kind enough to make recommendations along the way of ways to add value to our home without spending too much in areas that wouldnt make much difference when we decide to sell. A few years later, we saw an absolutely beautiful home that we adored and decided to make the leap to upgrade. We worked with Jade and Paul to simultaneously purchase the new home and sell our first home. With the second home purchase, Paul was a superstar in understanding the sellers and sellers agent and helped us beat out an all cash offer even though we were a financed offer! When prepping our first home to sell, Jade was clear about how to best prep the house and worked with us on areas we could DIY to save some money. She even helped landscape to present the property in the best light and was incredible with managing all the inspection appointments. Were now on 3 home purchases or sales with Jade and Paul within 4 years time and even recommended our sister to work with them to purchase a home not too far from us. That should speak for itself with how much we enjoyed working with Jade and Paul!

I had a great experience with Katie as a first time home buyer. Katie demonstrated exceptional home market knowledge, supportive and incredibly communicative. For example, Katie promptly answered calls and texts, and kept me informed about every development. Katie has a teaching background, which significantly helped me understand complex contract details in an easier way. Katie and I come from different cultural backgrounds but she was understanding to find homes with my familys needs. I am appreciative of Katies negotiation skills securing a great house offer and highly recommend Katie and Tabolt team.
