MAJ Realtors - Berkeley, California

Lorenzo Mercado

Alissa, Jessica and the rest of the MAJ team are masters of their work. Alissa and Jess helped me sell my home in August 2024 after having trouble selling with another realtor earlier in the year. Upon our initial meeting at my home, Alissa and Jess recommended new updates to the home exterior. This coupled with their amazing sales skills led us to a many offers from buyers.

The MAJ team is highly responsive, professional, and a overall amazing resource for all your real estate needs. Alissa and Jess, Thank you for everything you have done. You both are such a blessing. I highly recommend the MAJ team !

I can’t thank Alissa and Jessica enough for helping us sell our first renovation house. After some trouble with the initial listing with other agents, we connected with Alissa and Jessica, and their team was a game-changer.

They truly understood the local market, recommended just the right improvements, and kept everything moving smoothly. They handled every concern with care and expertise, making the entire experience so much easier. we truly believe MAJ is the go-to for buying and selling a home in that area!

Alissa Custer was the best agent we could have hoped for, helping us find our first time home in El Cerrito. We were hoping to find a home before the birth of our first child in East Bay around Berkeley, without paying Berkeley $, with the flexibility to potentially pause our search if needed to avoid any pressure. Alissa is incredibly knowledgeable and well connected, helped us with all our first time questions, is friendly, timely, courteous, and really driven without ever being pushing -- exactly the agent we were looking for. Her expertise, method, work ethics when it comes to own listings, professional contacts and service are outstanding and she is truly empathetic in understanding our needs. She took time for us visiting & reviewing properties every week, helped us navigate a complex market and unique situations with some sellers and we ultimately found our dream home in a fantastic neighborhood thanks to her. We are lucky to have been working with her.

We had an amazing experience working with Jessica Waggoner and her team at MAJ Realtors to purchase our first home. Jess gave us the personal touch in walking us through all the esoteric processes, answering all of our uninformed questions, and serving us up desirable prospective homes (even when we had to re-assess our price range halfway through the search :)). Jess was super responsive to all our texts / calls / emails no matter the time or day or how busy she was, and made sure we had coverage via the broader MAJ team for in-person meet-ups or closing activities if she wasn't available herself.

Jess made sure we were well equipped with all the information we needed to make an informed decision. Case in point, we were really interested in a slight fixer that would have gotten us a bigger house for the same price. We wanted to have a good grasp on the fixes we'd need to complete before going for it, so she recommended doing our own inspection with a contractor she knew, who ultimately revealed big ticket items that weren't in the disclosures. We found our winning home just a week or two later, and Jess helped us come up with a competitive price that won the bid, came in under the appraised value, and most importantly, made us feel comfortable that we weren't overpaying and were getting good value for the money.

We highly recommend Jess and her team at MAJ!

Jessica Waggoner at MAJ realtors was an amazing agent to work with while house hunting. She helped us find a home that works for our unique needs (and budget). She is level-headed, thorough, and well-informed with so much insight! We appreciated her professionalism and guidance along the way. Everything she mentioned/suggested was spot on (for instance, even after buying the house, she continued to help us out – she made fantastic recommendations for roofers, movers, pest control, etc…). As first-time home buyers, it felt good to work with someone so knowledgeable. We did not consult with any other agents at MAJ, so we cannot speak to their abilities/personalities, but we are extremely happy with Jessica Waggoner!

When my sister and I made the decision to sell our “family home” in El Cerrito I had no reservations in recommending MAJ Reality as our real estate agent. I had the good fortune of selling two other El Cerrito properties where they were my real estate experts and I was completely satisfied from start to finish with the service they provided.

During the initial meeting at our property Jessica explained the entire process to us and in subsequent meetings laid out the timeline and costs associated with putting the property on the market. As it turned out everything she stated was exactly how the sale occurred. My sister and I agreed that the professionalism, expertise and personal service that MAJ Reality provided were outstanding.

You are in good hands with MAJ! We had moved outside the area and needed someone local to help us prep the house and handle the sale. Alissa and her team were great. Their plan included detailed update ideas and cost estimates, as well as budget options. Alissa did so much of the legwork. I know realtor fees are a hot topic these days but I do not, for a second, think that they did not earn their commission. A lot of hard work went into prepping this house for market.
They also did a wonderful job navigating the offers and transaction. Alissa was always able to explain her decisions in a way that makes her seem like she really knows her market. We trusted her and it all paid off! Plus - Alissa, Jessica, and their team, are a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend MAJ Realtors. I'd long been impressed with how Jessica and Alyssa made the homes they were selling shine and stand out. When we interviewed them to sell our home, I loved how they balanced optimism with realism in talking about price and the market, the clear timeline and detailed information they provided about next steps, and (especially!) how they assembled a whole team to spruce up our home for the market, handling most of the details. We had a lot going on, so being able to rely on and trust that repairs, painting, marketing and all the rest would be done professionally and on time was such a relief. Jess or Alyssa were also always available for questions and when we hit some bumps in selling, Jess was calm, offered good advice, and never pressured us. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
