Testimonials
We recently sold our home in Piedmont Pines with Audrey's help, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From day one, she had a clear, organized plan to get us on the market and managed the timeline seamlessly so nothing fell through the cracks. Audrey is very organized, clear in communicating, and has a calm demeanor that lets you know that everything is under control. What really stood out was Audrey's recommendations for the right updates prior to going on the market. She made targeted recommendations for updates and upgrades that would make financial sense without going overboard, and I believe her recommendations were a great return on investment. She works with stagers and tradespeople who were very reliable and all did an amazing job. The house looked incredible by the time it went on the market. Also, the marketing she put together generated serious interest fast — we had 6 offers within 6 days of listing, and sold well above asking price. Audrey brought a calm, steady energy to the whole process that made something stressful feel very manageable. She clearly knows her market, knows how to position a home, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for her clients. If you're thinking about selling, don't hesitate — call Audrey.
Audrey is the perfect blend of knowledgeable professional and empathetic listener. We were constantly peppering her with questions and "ideas" and she always responded quickly and thoughtfully even if we were likely being a little silly. She had very good knowledge about the oakland market with a lot of her predictions on sale prices being spot on. She also has access to so many connections which is critical for bay area real estate. We had a bad experience with a realtor buying out condo prior and were so nervous about having someone take advantage of us again. Audrey was always honest and caring. We are absolutely smitten with our new home.
Working with Audrey was an amazing experience for a very stressful process. She brought in vendors who knew what they were doing and helped us do only the work that was needed and not overspend. The design insights she and the staging company provided really helped turn the house into an approachable, welcome home. Her weekly emails with updates and "week ahead" information kept us sane and her project management skills kept everything moving on schedule. She was also super positive and really knows the industry. We ended up getting a number of great offers for the house and selling for a price that we were thrilled about. I cannot recommend Audrey enough, she's fantastic!
We had a fantastic experience working with Audrey. She guided us through every step of the selling process with exceptional knowledge and a calm, confident approach. From advising us on the ideal timing to go to market to helping us prepare the house, she consistently offered smart, thoughtful guidance that kept us on track. Her organization and expertise made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent.
We highly recommend Audrey. She helped us buy our dream home! She was friendly, incredibly responsive, and knowledgeable. She helped us through every step of the process, including by providing excellent referrals both before and after our purchase.
After living in our house for almost 50 years, when my husband passed, I knew it was time to downsize and move. The trauma of such a decision included “where to begin?”. “who can help me?” “how much will all this cost?” “do I look for a new place first, sell first, etc.” Fortunately, my Financial Advisor said “I know a very capable Real Estate Agent, Audrey Young.” From the minute I met Audrey until she called to congratulate me that the house had sold, I felt that I was in good hands. She is a true professional, and yet an empathetic, caring person who understood the times when I needed strong guidance, and times when I needed to make my own decisions. Each week I got a spread sheet of what needed to happen that week, followed up with a phone call to answer any questions I might have. To get the house on the market in the most favorable buyer’s climate took some real effort on her part, on my part, and cooperation of the crew she put together to do minor repairs, painting, staging, etc. Imagine my surprise and delight that the house was only on the market 5 days, with a ten day closing period! Even dealing with the Title Company she arranged, was simple and easy. I would, and have, recommended Audrey to my friends and especially to folks like me who need someone knowledgeable about the market, patient but always responsive when I needed answers, and able to give me the security that “no worries” we’re on the right track!
One of life's most stressful events is moving and selling you home. Our Real Estate Agent, Audrey Young, lives in our community and understands that we will be leaving friends, neighbors, our village, and the memories of a generation in our home. Because we had already moved out of town, she carried out the upgrades and repairs that were needed while continuing to keep us informed. She sold our house quickly, getting the price we wanted and never made us feel pressured or anxious. Audrey is intelligent, efficient, organized but mostly kind. We would completely recommend Audrey Young to everyone who needs a real estate agent.

Having a good real estate agent is essential to a successful home buying experience anywhere, and the Bay Area is no exception. We were so lucky to have had the good fortune to work with Audrey for our recent home purchase. She is knowledgeable, professional, quick to respond, and truly makes you feel as if she is there with you every step of this stressful process. She is also a very empathetic person -- she reads people very well. Often I was impressed at what she was able to pick up from very little context -- she often knows what you want before you know it yourself. Having someone like this on your side is very beneficial in this very competitive business. We have bought and owned homes in the Bay Area before so we had a fairly good sense of what we wanted. The property in question was very popular and we knew we would likely have lots of competition for it. Audrey was essential in helping us plan our bidding strategy - providing useful comps for us and helping us get a sense of the neighborhood and how the process was likely to go. She was a huge help on the day the bids were due, constantly advising us, keeping us calm -- I honestly do not think we would have won if she had not been helping us. Her invaluable aid continued throughout the closing process -- keeping us organized, making sure we knew what to expect. The entire experience was just top-notch. I cannot recommend her enough. Buying a home is very stressful for everyone but I honestly think this experience was one of the smoothest I've ever had it go, and Audrey was a big part of that.
Audrey just handed me the keys to my new home, and I couldn't be happier! Whenever I called, she picked up. Whenever I had a question, she found the answer. If a problem arose, a solution was found. Audrey was kind, and understanding, and I never felt pressured or anxious working with her. If you are buying a home, and are looking for a realtor who's going to be with you every step of the way and fight for your best interests, then look no further than Audrey Young. I would recommend Audrey to all my family and friends. I really can not express how grateful I am for all of her help during one of the biggest milestones of my life, and she will always have my genuine gratitude!
