Selling our house with Claudia was a great experience from beginning to end. The first time we met, Claudia came to our house and did a brief walkthrough, we were amazed at the depth of her knowledge, creativity, and great taste in design. She recommended what type of touch ups and small improvements to do, and took care of coordinating all of the work that needed to be done as well photographer who made our house look absolutely amazing! She communicated often with us, open to provide lots of information, clear, patient, and kind. We would love to work with her again in the future!

Claudia and her team are truly exceptional. After interviewing several brokers, I chose Claudia for her professionalism, experience, and knowing how best to present a property for sale. The staging of the home, open houses, timing, and marketing Claudia employed brought me what I think was top dollar for my home. I would definitely engage Claudia again on either a purchase or sale.

Claudia Mills offers a professional full service real estate team. They guided us through the process of getting our house in Oakland ready for sale from the paint color to the light fixtures. This transformed the house from a comfortable lovely family home into a beautifully presented product that garnered compliment after compliment. Claudia has a full roster of crucial professionals from her wonderful assistants and colleagues to sewer/sidewalk contractors and stagers. The work that went into the remodeling of our house was made so much easier by having the Claudia Mills team on our side. We cannot recommend her team enough. She is a rare find and has always put her clients' interest, be they sellers or buyers, ahead of any other consideration.

Claudia told us what to do to make our house as attractive as possible. Her team made it easy to get the work done. The resulting sale exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier. Claudia and team were a pleasure to work with, and we felt we had their attention. Would absolutely work with her again and recommend to anyone.

Claudia is such a professional. Her knowledge of the market made a significant difference in the selling of my house. I was putting it on my market just as the shelter at home restrictions were being loosened. Lots of unknowns, but Claudia’s deep knowledge of the area and extensive experience in real estate gave me a true advantage when faced with many decisions. Getting the house prepped, staged, and marketed really got the attention of buyers. In addition to her expertise, she was truly nice to work with. You will be glad you chose her as your Realtor. I am.

We've worked with Claudia twice now; one time 10 years ago when we bought our house and then again when we turned around and sold it, so she's represented us both as buyers and sellers. Claudia is really great to work with; she makes the process very straight forward and she knows the local market exceptionally well. She has a whole production team behind her so she's set up to make an outstanding listing for you if you're selling. I'd recommend choosing Claudia if you're looking for a thorough, highly competent agent with a fun personality.

We had the pleasure of working with Claudia and her team on both the purchase and sale of our Rockridge home. Claudia was an absolute dream to work with, her professionalism and attention to detail made both ends of the transaction a breeze. Apart from the the quality of the marketing materials, Claudia provided excellent recommendations on how we could improve our property to get a high volume of interest. Her consulation throughout the sale was helpful but never pushy.

Claudia guided us through the sale of our Oakland home. She is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. She has a great network when we needed help to do touch ups on our home. When there was any hiccup in the sales process with any potential buyer, she had suggestions on how to deal with it. And she is a delightful person to work with. In short, she was just awesome. Would highly recommend her for any home sale.

Claudia is an amazing realtor with a great marketing eye and impeccable follow-through.
The photographs and video she did when selling our house really set the stage to receive multiple offer wells above asking price.

She is professional, responsive, and a delight to work with. We would absolutely hire Claudia again if we buy or sell a property in the Bay Area!!

I have nothing but respect and gratitude for the way that Claudia handled the marketing and sale of my Rockridge home. Not only was she a delight to work with on a personal level, but her knowledge and instincts about current market conditions and about the marketing strategies that most appealed to buyers was unerring in every instance. Fortunately, I had the good sense to defer to her suggestions about what to repair and upgrade, and how to price and negotiate the sale of my house, even when they ran counter to my own instincts. Her sense of what needed to be done to the house in order to realize the highest possible price always proved correct. Equally important, her instincts about what should not be improved because doing so would cost more than the resulting increase in house value also contributed greatly to the successful sale of my home. Lastly, Claudia's personal approach and sense of humor took a lot of the stress out of the sale process, making the process far more enjoyable than I had anticipated that it would be. I would use Claudia again in a heartbeat for any sale or purchase of a home in the Oakland/Berkeley area.

Months after our sale and move to another state, Claudia reminded us of the papers we would need for taxes. I could not put my finger on them and asked for her help which she provided. Little did i know that i would be grateful for Claudia 7 months after we sold our house.

I saw Claudia's work when she sold another house in our neighborhood and was impressed with how quickly it sold. When we decided to hire her to represent us as sellers, I soon realized the level of professionalism that she would bring to the job. She listened to our needs and came back with a plan and timeline for accomplishing the task. What I didn't realize at the time was that we also had a true partner in this complicated process. Claudia is an excellent communicator, always patient and working for her client to achieve the best result. She made this experience as stress-free and streamlined as possible by preparing so well to come to market that our house sold after only two open houses. I recommend Claudia whole heartedly.

Claudia was such a Godsend.

We are so glad our friend who Claudia helped purchase a home in Piedmont recommended her, and feel obligated to return the favor.

She helped us for over a year as we searched for a home to buy in the very competitive North Oakland/Berkeley neighborhoods.

When I think back, there was never a request Claudia did not follow up on promptly and thoroughly. NOT ONE. That is hard to say about anyone nowadays, and when you are dealing with the likely biggest financial decision of your life, it is invaluable.

She is an expert on East Bay residential real estate. While she typically works with clients who have larger budgets than ours, she understood our goals and limitations and worked with them. She gave great advice, but also embraced OUR vision.

Trust that if you work with Claudia, you will not be disappointed. We had no idea how much is involved with purchasing a home in the Bay Area, and we could not have done it without Claudia.

Thank you, Claudia!

Claudia is amazing. My partner and I have had many real estate transactions over the last decade with various agents but Claudia stands out in a league of her own. We wished we would have found her earlier. Her marketing really sets her apart from all others. She really has created a brand and style that is like no other and she gets results. Buying or selling she is simply the best.

Claudia was great to work with. When I was impatient, she talked me out of a quick decision and I am grateful. She has an excellent eye for design which helped us see the benefits for some remodeling. Very responsive to email and easy to work with. I have already referred her to others. Just start with curiosity and ask her what your home might sell for. That got us started.
