NORTHBRAE PROPERTIES - Berkeley, California

Patient, Caring and Thoughtful is how i would characterize my families experience with Northbrae Properties.

After spending years showing us dozens of homes, guiding us through the tumultuous housing market and patiently waiting until we were ready. When the rubber met the road and we found what we wanted, they jumped into action and guided us seamlessly through to a home purchase.

Deep community connections and a finger on the wider pulse of the region lead us to a good deal on a great home.

Thanks Northbrae!

Christian and Ali helped us buy our first house! They were patient while we looked at many many houses and walked us through everything we needed to know in regards to how buying a house works, how offers work etc. They gave us good advice and seem well connected in the real estate community

Chris and Ali are a witty charming couple who were amazing to work with. They helped us win the very first house we bid on. Ali is wonderful at seamlessly guiding you through the many paper hoops/jargon filled documents that are required for acquiring a home. Chris is great at finding homes that work in your budget and giving you an edge in negotiations. We chose to work with Chris and Ali again later when we went to sell our home because of a job change out-of-state. They had our home sold in less than a week and above asking. If you want to have a fun successful home buying experience, work with Northbrae Properties!

Our experience with Northbrae Properties was nothing short of exceptional! Christian and Ali were so kind as well as professional, taking care of every detail and exceeding our expectations at every turn! My elderly aunt was able to walk out of her house within a week of deciding to sell it, taking only what she needed to move into an assisted living facility, and leaving the rest to Northbrae to take care of. Christian and Ali were utterly trustworthy, delivering on everything they promised – from clearing out and staging the house, to marketing it in a timely and savvy fashion, to obtaining the best possible price. Christian’s mother was my aunt’s realtor when she bought the house; 25 years later a circle was completed, leaving my aunt with happy memories from start to finish, and financial security at a critical stage in her life. If you are looking for ethical, experienced real estate professionals who are also super caring people, look no further than Northbrae Properties. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Ali and Chris are an awesome team. I love the idea that they were both born and raised nearby and really know all the local areas and all the players.

An extra plus that they are not part of any big real estate chain. I loved working with them and I love my house.

The Real Estate agents at the Northbrea office are very dedicated to service and helping you buy or sell your next home. As a mortgage lender I know how important it is to have a solid real estate agent helping you in the market place.

Christian and Ali of Northbrae Properties helped us buy our first home in the Bay Area, in a challenging time to buy, and we are now living in our dream home and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Christian has been in the real estate business in the Bay Area for 10+ years, and it definitely shows through in his knowledge and history of the various zip codes. We came in with very little base understanding of various neighborhoods, or the type of home we wanted, and Christian guided us through by showing us multiple properties every weekend and refining our search over time. Despite having multiple clients he was working with, we always felt like we were his only client as he always gave us undivided attention, and somehow always remembered everything we talked about in prior conversations.

What’s really wonderful about Christian and Ali is that they’re here to create a long term relationship with you. Christian actually just dropped by our home to drop off bug spray because we got bugs for the first time with the arrival of spring! Talk about commitment to service.

We feel like we have a shoulder to lean on for all things real estate, and that’s a pretty incredible thing for a couple that’s moving from city condos to much more complex dynamics of home ownership.

Oh, on top of all that, Christian created a jingle for us.. definitely ask for it because it’s a great one.

Would definitely recommend Christian and Ali duo for your real estate search needs. They’re knowledgeable, committed, and just friendly people all around.
