Jill Carrigan

Jill is an expert. She listened closely to what we wanted and helped us make great decisions to get the most of our home sale. She knew exactly when, how, and for how much to list our house in order to maximize our earnings. She patiently walked us through each step, answered our many questions, and treated us with respect and compassion. She earned our full confidence, respect, and appreciation.

Jill was fantastic to work with on every level. Her knowledge and insights were invaluable, and I truly can't think of a single recommendation she made that didn't work out exactly as planned! She was always cognizant of our budget and made really smart decisions about where it would have the greatest impact. Jill and her team did such a great job getting our house ready and staged it in an absolutely beautiful and tasteful way. Jill handled everything and made the whole process go super smoothly - and, in the end, she got us an incredible sale price that FAR exceeded our expectations! But beyond all of that, Jill is just such a warm and genuine person that it was a pleasure to go through the whole process with her. She was always there whenever we had questions or needed reassurance, and was so thoughtful and compassionate about what can be a stressful and emotional change for people. I truly can't imagine ever using another realtor :)

Jill was an amazing agent for us! She is very warm and personable, which made a stressful process feel better every step of the way. We never felt pressured into going outside of our comfort zone, and she was very upfront and honest about which houses felt like the right houses to really go for. For the bidding process on the house we ended up purchasing, she established a line of communication with the selling agent, asking more about how she works and what kind of communication to expect once offers were submitted. We believe her proactive approach ultimately helped us to make the final offer on the house.

If you're looking for a white glove and turnkey service to sell your house in the Oakland Hills market, look no further than Jill. When we first had Jill visit the property in mind, she demonstrated her deep understanding of the nuances of the market, and wowed us with her creative ideas as to best position our home to command top dollar. As we had already relocated, Jill took on all project management responsibilities as she got the house ready, communicating with us regularly and transparently. Lastly, her ability to market the property adeptly resulted in a fair and equitable price point where all parties involved walked away with a good feeling. There is no doubt in my mind that Jill deserves all the credit for our house doing as well as it did - and she did this all while being the consummate professional.

We located Jill via a performative search of past listings and sale prices in the Montclair area. Jill partnered with Tiffany LeFour and wow what a team. We were under a unique set of circumstances that required an extremely fast turnaround on preparation work including renovations, marketing, etc. Jill and Tiffany were able to assemble a plan that facilitated our timing request sand executed professionally with absolutely no issues. We were able to achieve the "top end" of our projected comparison range and closed in an unbelievably short time frame. Hands down, a fantastic experience and would recommend both to anyone who are looking to achieve a balanced return on the sale of a property.

It's my pleasure to give Jill Carrigan my highest recommendation. We have done 4 transactions together and we think the world of her. My wife and I met Jill in 2000 when we were looking to buy our first house. With Jill's help, we were able to get a great house in Redwood Heights neighborhood of Oakland for under the asking price, in the midst of a very competitive market. In the fall of 2007, we decided to move to Piedmont, and Jill helped us write an offer that edged out 4 other offers in another very competitive market. Jill helped us ready our Redwood Heights house for sale in early 2008, and although the market advantage was turning in favor of buyers, we had multiple offers and were very happy with the result. Everything went smoothly in these three transactions, and Jill was a pleasure to work with. So, we had no hesitation in deciding that Jill would be our agent again when it was time to sell our Piedmont house. She helped us prepare during late 2021 and early 2022, with her amazing team of landscapers, painters, stagers, and photographers. Jill's vision, talent, and organization resulted in a sale that had thirteen offers and exceeded our highest hopes. While that kind of result cannot be promised for every transaction, you can be confident in Jill's advice and experience and know that she'll help you achieve the best outcome for the current market. You'll get to do that with a person that you enjoy working with, that you can trust, and who really understands the local micro markets and current trends. She is really a great person and agent!

Jill Carrigan of GrubbCo is a gem in the Oakland Hills. Her prodigious skills, knowledge and abilities as a realtor and her passion for home sales defined all facets of our recent transaction. In March 2021, our "faith" in our own property for sale, as an older home, was just not there. However, Jill saw something in our home that we did not. She convinced us as sellers to improve our property leading to a brilliant listing this July. Through Jill's leadership a pre-listing remodel then spun to exciting as we witnessed our property literally transforming itself before our own eyes. She wisely marketed the home around the bay views views through the oak trees, the sanctuary of the patio and lawn as well as the privacy and tranquility of a backyard in Oakland. Jill was always there for us immediately with answers to our many questions throughout. This was particularly important as sellers since we reside outside of the East Bay. Her outreach and support team so effectively choreographed all the many preparations to bring the property to a hassle-free listing this July. All on schedule, on scope and on budget. At the conclusion, we realized an extremely favorable sales price. Everyone was pleased - sellers, buyers and realtors. Cannot say enough good things about Jill Carrigan.

There are only a few instances in ones life when you meet someone professionally but end up befriending them for life. Jill has not only been our real estate agent but also a great friend. Jill Carrigan, you are truly an amazing person and we are so grateful to you for helping us with our first home hunt. This was our first time dealing with a real estate agent and after speaking with a few, we reached out to Jill and trust me, moving forward with Jill for our home buying needs was one of the best decisions we made. She is passionate, a true professional and works for the betterment of her clients. During this highly competitive market, Jill guided us at every step and helped us stay calm even when we our bids weren't selected. From day one, Jill insisted that we take our time to make a decision about a house and not rush into one. We can attest to Jill's mantra: She is not in the business of selling houses. She is in the business of helping you find your next home.

We were first time home buyers and Jill held our hand through the entire process. She never pressured us even when we saw houses that checked all the boxes but we knew they weren't for us. She often said "you have to love the house and I want you to be happy when I hand you the keys". In the end, we found a home we loved and she was there with a bottle of champagne and a set of keys to our new home! Jill genuinely cares and continues to go above and beyond even after the closing. She introduced us to her own vetted service pros (flooring, painters etc.) and is ALWAYS available to answer questions. One of things we most appreciate about Jill is that she is consistently responsive -- if she can't answer your call, she texts back within a few mins to acknowledge the message and calls back when she said she would. We trust Jill completely and are so grateful that we had her on our side through the home buying (and now, renovation) process. We'd be happy to speak to anyone considering Jill!
