Kaaren Brickman was amazing to work with! She was extremely communicative and proactive about getting ahead of issues. Kaaren is also very knowledgeable about the market and the process of buying a home. I felt at ease during the whole close period, because we had Kaaren to guide us. Would 100% recommend to anyone else trying to buy a home! Thank you Kaaren!

Kaaren helped me sell my home in Orinda. She did a great job communicating with me and my adult children so that we were always in the loop and in position to make the best decisions. She was knowledgeable about my neighborhood (and not just the town) and made excellent recommendations for how to prepare the house for sale. She and her contractors were easy to work with. When we encountered a few issues during the escrow period, she kept us calm and came up with solutions that resulted in a successful sale.

Kaaren wears many hats - Real Estate professional, interior designer, project manager, negotiator and sometimes psychologist. Kaaren helped me navigate the complex dance of selling my home, and she has a professional crew who helped prepare my house for sale in a swift and cost effective manner. The experience was pain free and easy to navigate. 5 out of 5 stars.

Kaaren was my Real Estate agent . I bought my first property on my own in 2020 in Danville after going through difficult divorce. Kaaren made the whole process of buying new home for me and my daughter very easy and stress free. She was patient while I have to go through loan approval process and she communicated beautifully with the sellers agent. The process took longer than anticipated, but Kaaren did her best job representing me .I highly recommend hiring Kaaren as your agent if you choose to buy or sell your house. Kaaren also presented me with a beautiful much needed cleaning supplies basket as a congratulations gift.

Kaaren was extremely knowledgeable about the Trails area neighborhood and housing market in Lafayette. She was flexible and accommodating about how we could stage our house. She made excellent suggestions on how and when to list our house. She was always quick to respond to our emails, questions or phone calls. She was highly professional but was also extremely personable. We highly recommend Kaaren Brickman!

I can't say enough positive things about Kaaren and her efforts and ability to make the home selling process a smooth and positive one! From day 1, we aligned to a plan and timeline, and she executed flawlessly. She's professional, caring, knowledgeable and flexible- all qualities that you want in a realtor selling your home. She also helped guide the transition from us to the new buyers- personalized the transition. I certainly appreciated that! I would recommend Kaaren to anyone thinking about buying/selling in Lamorinda- a perfect fit. Laurie

Kaaren is as good as it gets! She is patient, kind, and knowledgeable - helping us navigate the complexities of our home sale and new purchase with optimism and support. She was transparent, communicative, and available, keeping us informed through all stages of the process, and provided the confidence we needed to get to the other side of the deal. She is an absolute professional who clearly values relationships and integrity, and she'll be the first name we share to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Kaaren was amazing on every aspect of our real estate journey. She was patient and supportive while we searched for a new home. Her expectations were even higher than ours! She brilliantly negotiated an off market purchase, which we would’ve never landed without her. Then she was able to efficiently list and sell our home for a phenomenal price. Ultimately she orchestrated us closing on both homes simultaneously which saved us a ton of money. There were all kinds of road bumps throughout the journey, Kaaren’s calm and knowledgeable presence got us through each hurdle. We are now in a home we never could’ve imagined being lucky enough to own and it is absolutely all because of Kaaren’s experience, network and thoughtful execution. Anyone would be lucky to work with her. Our family is forever grateful we had the honor.

Growing up in Lamorinda, Kaaren has a stellar reputation within the community. Her professionalism coupled with her detailed oriented work ethic makes her an excellent choice to assist people in selling or buying "their" home. She is hard working, meticulous, personable, and professional.

Kaaren was a thoughtful and engaging agent from the first time we met through the purchase of our new home to the closing of our old one. Kaaren was always quick to respond to questions and concerns and patiently helped us navigate a very competitive market as buyers.
Kaaren’s experience and knowledge was evident as she advised us on what to do to prepare our home for sale. She then expertly orchestrated a whole cadre of people to make our home ready for market in a very short amount of time. She successfully completed the sales process and we were extremely happy with the end results.
It was very clear to us that Kaaren’s main concern was our happiness and satisfaction.

Kaaren was great! She was helpful at each step of the way. She had great recommendations for staging and had a renovation group ready to come in the day after we moved out. Our house looked great,

I felt very comfortable with her . Highly recommend to anyone working with Kaaren.

After Kaaren did such a great job guiding us through our first home purchase, we knew she was the one we wanted to go with to sell our home as well. Her knowledge and network in the Lamorinda area is extensive to say the least. Kaaren guided us through the entire process, from helping us prioritize which renovations would maximize our home’s value to certain aspects of buyer’s bids that we may want to pay attention to. She answered our questions right away and in detail. (Because this was our first time selling, we had quite a few questions.) She presented all of the facts, which ultimately allowed us to make the best decision for us and maximizing our home’s sale price.

Homeowner
Kaaren did a fantastic job! We were selling a condominium that needed extensive remodeling and upgrading throughout. She developed a time table to initially attempt to sell as is and then a job schedule to have the place ready at the optimal time to sell with all the repairs completed. She hired and coordinated all the work with the contractors and supervised the entire effort. She set up all the inspections and personally dealt with all issues, big and small, as they came up while taking a direct role in choosing all the paint colors, floors, carpets, fixtures, and upgrades. She arranged many showings in spite of the pandemic and kept the placed wiped down and clean after each one. She was always available and proactively kept us informed about all aspects of the sale. She gave us feedback about what prospective buyers were saying as well as constant updates on all competitive listings and overall market trends. She discussed different strategies with us and gave the advantages and disadvantages of each. She worked with the eventual buyer's agent to get all the buyer's concerns addressed promptly and made sure the buyer understood the rules of the complex. She did all of this under the challenges of the pandemic and we were able to sell the property at our desired price. All of this effort made her an utter pleasure to work with and we would absolutely recommend her and definitely would work with her again given the opportunity!
