I would highly recommend Karen! She helped us successfully close on a complex 1031 exchange which came with very specific time and budget constraints. Karen was very responsive and proactive when there was a question or issue to address. She has great experience and knowledge of the process. She is very familiar with the Walnut Creek, Lamorinda, Danville areas where we were looking. She seems to know everyone in the business and has all the key connections to facilitate a smooth close. Karen was a pleasure to work with.

Tim was great as an agent. Was very efficient in getting the offers out and sending all the documents to sign. It was a bit of a struggle at times, but Tim was able to get the job done. Happy to have worked with him

I would absolutely recommend Kristen. I never had to ask Kristen to do something related to my transaction - she stayed on top of deadlines, of questions that needed asking and answering and paperwork!

My wife and I are 77 years old and with Laurie’s expertise she guided us through the entire buying process. After we are in our new home we will reach out to her to sell the home we are now in. I recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell

We had a great experience working with Oliver to purchase our new home. He took the time to truly understand our wants and needs before finding homes to show us. He has excellent knowledge of the local market and guided us step by step through the process. I would highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking to buy a home!
First of all Suzy was responsive in addition to be well versed in all aspects real estate. She helped me to both understand the process on my first home purchase as well as guide on what to look out for. I would highly recommend Suzy and if I meet others in the area I will recommend them to her and know they’re secure in their home buying process. Thank you Suzy for all the help.

Soosh is a great realtor and supported my wife and I like a brother who cared about our wellbeing when making one of the biggest decisions in our lives in buying a house. I'm talking about a great communicator, knowledge sharer, and one of the things I love most about protector (as in represents us as family).

We had an incredible experience working with Soosh. From the beginning he had our best interest in mind and truly valued us as people and the visions we had for a home. He was there for us with every question, ups, downs, and has exceptional knowledge and skill that made us feel so at ease as first time home buyers. His responsiveness is incredible and he also a joy to be around on top of everything else. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Soosh!

Casey was fabulous! We followed her recommendations and she was available to guide us through the whole process. She was available and patiently answered all of our questions. She sold the house four days after it went on the market for more than we were asking in a slow market. We could not have asked for more.

Selling a home can be stressful but working with Oliver made it a smooth experience. From day one, we knew we could trust his advice—whether it was choosing the right vendors or understanding the local market. Even in a softening market, he had our home sold in just 3 weeks for nearly asking price! 💫 We’re so grateful for his professionalism, communication, and expertise. If you’re thinking about selling, we can’t recommend him enough.

5-Star Review for Tim Farley – Dudum Real Estate Group, Walnut Creek
We cannot say enough great things about our experience working with Tim Farley to sell our condo in Benicia! From the very first meeting, Tim brought an incredible mix of professionalism, local market expertise, and a genuine, down-to-earth approach that immediately put us at ease.
Tim handled every step of the process with precision and care—from pricing and preparing the property to marketing, negotiations, and closing. He gave us clear, honest advice and always had our best interests in mind. His communication was excellent—timely, responsive, and proactive. We never felt out of the loop.
What really stood out was how seamless he made everything. Selling a home can be stressful, but Tim took the pressure off our shoulders and made it feel easy. His knowledge of both the Benicia market and the broader Bay Area was a huge asset, and it’s clear he’s passionate about what he does.
Thanks to Tim’s strategy and dedication, we received strong offers and closed quickly and smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a better agent to guide us through it all.
If you’re looking to buy or sell a home and want someone who’s smart, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond—Tim Farley is your guy. Highly recommended!

Casey was fantastic beyond my expectations. When we first met, she listened to our goals and what we wanted from the sale, and she carefully explained the entire process. She gave us recommendations for the various inspections, and she recommended contractors for the repairs and upgrades. She made suggestions for upgrades she thought would make the house look attractive to buyers, and she worked with the contractors to make sure the work progressed on schedule. She made this house a top priority and constantly communicated with us on progress being made and tasks that we needed to perform to keep everything moving. Casey has my highest possible praise and recommendation.

I wholeheartedly recommend Oliver Brown to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, regardless of the market. Throughout this journey, he wore many hats on my behalf: psychiatrist, advisor, mediator, and mostly friend. He remembered all my must-haves, picked up on my style, and nailed it by finding the dream home I’d been chasing for years.
He also sold my property for over $300K, which is an incredible feat. What sets him apart is his honesty and straightforward approach. He shoots straight from the hip and there is no need to second guess him.
He has an extensive network and resourcefulness meant that no problem was too big to solve. He is reliable, sharp, and dedicated to his clients. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate, AND I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to anyone.

Oliver has been a pleasure to work with. My ex-wife and I worked with him several times nearly a decade ago. My current wife and I just bought our dream home, and we are in the process selling my mother's home as well. Could not be more impressed. Buying a home is overwhelming for me, and Oliver helped make the process smooth and simple. I would highly recommend Oliver Brown to anyone.

Terrylynn has been our property manager for our rental property over the last 40 years, and she has been taking extremely good care of our townhouse and our tenants.
After moving to Hawaii last year, we made the decision to put our rental property on the market after our tenants moved out by the end of June 2025.
Terry diligently prepared our townhome for an open house the weekend before July Fourth, and a few days later she obtained two offers above our asking price for our unit. Immediately after we accepted the most desirable offer, Terry completed all the necessary paperwork for the sale within a month of time.
This efficiency really amazed us and we highly appreciate these long years of dedicated service that Terry has been providing us.

Alyse was absolutely amazing to work with. She intuited our needs for selling the house quicklyand without hassle so that we could close out my dad’s estate. She was able to recommend the right balance of investing enough in repairs and renovations to make the house marketable but not putting too much money into the house. She clearly not only knows the LaMOrinda real estate market but also knows the community. Working with her and her connections for floor refinishing painters, landscapers etc made the process as effortless as it could possibly be. She was super pleasant and easy to communicate with. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!

Cathy was absolutely wonderful in every aspect of selling my home. She went above and beyond what I ever would have expected from a realtor.She helped with every aspect and detail, and was available for my questions and concerns, always responding promptly. It can be intimidating dealing with all the legal and business issues as well as the physical parts of moving. Cathy was there for me through it all, and I am so grateful for her knowledge, professional handling of everything, and her kind, loving caring with the emotional part of selling what I have called home for more than 30 years. She does it all with a smile and a big heart all blended into her professionalism.

Dara Buzzard & Ronni Schwartz
Jul 26, 2025
If you’re looking for a real estate agent who can sell your house and hold your baby while doing it, look no further than Dara.
From the moment we listed with her, Dara was all-in. She guided us through staging (using our own furnishings!), connected us with reliable tradespeople to knock out our final punch list, and had our home sold within 10 days. But it wasn’t just her professional expertise that stood out—it was everything else she brought to the table.
She juggled open houses and contractors while entertaining our 4-year-old, offering therapy-level pep talks, and even indulging us in late-night chats while hiding in the nursery during twilight photos. Real estate agent? Yes. Chaos coordinator? Also yes. Friend by the end of the transaction? 100%.
And if you’re selling an Eichler, run—don’t walk—to Dara. She lives in one herself and knows these special homes inside and out. From the architecture to the upgrades that matter, she brings next-level insight and appreciation that you simply don’t get with just any agent.
Dara doesn’t just get the job done—she makes the process feel human. She genuinely cares about the people involved. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this chapter of our lives.
Five stars, two happy parents, one sold Eichler, and a toddler who still asks when Dara is coming over.
