"Who doesn't like knowing what they're doing? As first-time home buyers, we tried. Lots of research, lots of open houses, and we thought we were prepared. But when 300-page disclosure packets started landing and Google no longer had answers, we understood what a good agent really means. In hindsight, we didn't just need an agent - we needed Alissa. Alissa was calm, decisive, and incredibly communicative. She knows the East Bay neighborhoods and market so well it's almost eerie. She can recite facts to the details, and she reads minds! She has this ability to take our scattered ideas and turn them into clear home criteria. When unexpected plot twists derailed our purchasing process, Alissa was always steps ahead - gathering intel, tapping her network, and walking us through options with clarity and confidence, but always leaving the decision to us. We found a home we truly love, within budget and below appraised value. Looking back, there were so many moments that could have become overwhelming without Alissa in our corner. We've always prided ourselves on figuring things out ourselves, but this experience reminded us that true expertise makes someone irreplaceable. The Internet has its place, but when buying a home, there's no substitute for a sharp, grounded expert like Alissa."

"We had such a positive experience working with Alissa to sell my parents' home. From our first meeting at the house, we knew she was the right person to work with. In addition to her warm personality, she focused on the unique qualities and characteristics of the house and made great recommendations on what needed to be done to prepare the house for sale. We trusted her instincts/experience and appreciated her managing the whole process. The contractors, landscape gardeners, inspectors and staging experts she engaged did an excellent job and she kept us posted of progress every step of the way. The house looked amazing! Another critical aspect of her expertise was her knowledge of the El Cerrito area. We trusted her guidance in determining the listing price for the house and were gratified/thrilled when the house sold quickly at the price that we were hoping for. We can't recommend MAJ Realtors and Alissa highly enough. We were apprehensive at the daunting task of selling the house, but it turned out to be a positive, even enjoyable process thanks to Alissa and her team."

"Working with Alissa and the MAJ team while we sold our house felt like meeting Mary Poppins in the flesh. You have some random sudden need for a quote for some unexpected issue? They've got it and in 72-hours it's as if the problem never existed. Alissa and her team have incredible business knowledge and can flex their perspectives on timing, cost/benefit analysis of every decision from renovations to light fixtures. Their design perspectives from color balancing exterior paint to undertones in your roof, current colors of the year and the psychology behind design, ways to use creative marketing make you watch artistry in real estate. Not only was their expertise niche to the degree that they knew differences in our neighborhood almost block by block, but understanding the minds of potential buyers who would be attracted to your home, engaging with their encyclopedia of real estate colleagues to advocate for your property, and the amount of practical and even emotional support they provide was incredible. Selling a home can be incredibly emotional, and when we needed advice on finding a realtor in our our-of-state purchase, they even offered connections to realtors, movers, mortgage and lenders. These women have serious grit, work integrity, saavvy, advocacy skills, and grounded perspective. Their level of genuine care for their clients is refreshing and essential during this unpredictable market. One of the highlights was watching and interacting with their contract staff who are equally as amazing in the caliber of work and professionalism, and also just awesome people you can't but want to have in your life forever if you could. I cannot rave about them enough or how amazing our experience was working with. 100% best decision we made in our real estate journey."
