Liat Bostick

Liat Bostick and her business partner (Liz Behrens) sold our house in the Montclair neighborhood of Oakland, CA this month for over 50% of the listing price. Our house looks great on its own with good bones and a nice spacious backyard—rare in Montclair--but Liat presented the house in the best possible light, highlighting the many pluses for the potential buyers to see. Liat is a pro. She has extensive knowledge of the Oakland/Montclair market and has excellent skills in explaining to us every step of the journey. The timeline she provided was clear and she stuck to every milestone date including the listing of the house. Just as important as the sales result is that Liat accomplished the multitude of tasks involved in selling our house without us having to worry about them. They just got done. Liat's service as a listing agent is end-to-end, meaning she (and partner Liz) coordinated all the tasks involved in selling our house from hiring professional contractors to paint the house interior, wash the windows, refinish the floor, make small handyman repairs throughout, complete cleaning of the house, stage the house interior/exterior, and professional home photography for Multiple Listing Service (MLS), all these backed up by proper receipts and explanation. She has extensive vendor contacts. All these improvements made the house move-in ready and came within budget. In the end, they paid off handsomely based on the number and quality of offers we received. Liat also guided us through the mountain of documents we have to read and sign, explaining to us what each section meant. We are very happy with the result of our home sale. She delivered on everything she promised and more. We were so impressed that I dubbed the team of Liat Bostick and Liz Behrens super agents when we signed the final escrow documents. Liat Bostick is really that, an excellent knowledgeable, and experienced end-to-end listing agent. We couldn't have asked for a better one.

Liat is truly exceptional. From the start, she brought a perfect mix of warmth, expertise, and professionalism to the home-buying process. She knows the Bay Area inside and out, and her insight and experience were invaluable every step of the way. Liat made what could have been a stressful experience feel approachable and even fun. She was consistently thoughtful, always had my best interest in mind, and never pressured me. Instead, she offered honest guidance, smart strategy, and genuine encouragement. With her support, I found a home I absolutely love--and felt confident throughout the journey. If you're looking for an agent who's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a joy to work with, Liat is the one. I feel so grateful to have had her on my side.

We are so happy to have worked with Liat to sell our house. We moved out of the country, so we had to put a lot of trust in her to manage the whole process in our absence. She did an incredible job. Her amazing team of tradespeople swooped in and got the house ready for market 2 weeks after we left. 3 weeks after that, it sold, for over asking. Every conversation with Liat was honest and straightforward, very to-the-point. She gave us good advice about what to fix, about pricing and how to consider the offers. She also really listened to our concerns and went out of her way to accommodate them. Basically, she handled all the logistical hurdles and guided us through a smooth, efficient and successful transaction. Why did we choose her in the first place? Look at how many homes she sells in Oakland--she always has active listings but managed to give ours special attention.

Adding a long overdue update to our review! Liat recently helped us to purchase our newest home and sell our first home that we had purchased with her in 2018. When we unexpectedly decided to put an offer on a home that we saw on a whim for fun, Liat jumped right on getting us all of the information we needed to compile and turn around an offer three days later. As always, Liat made the home buying process so smooth and supportive, with lots of calls and extra visits to the property to make sure we were really anchored in our decision and offer. When our offer was accepted, we immediately turned around to begin the selling process for our current home, which was a new and daunting experience for us. Liat organized a fantastic crew of tradespeople to prep our house for sale in the least amount of time possible so that we could get on the market within a month. The prep that she encouraged us to do in order to drive interest and offers was spot on, and we ended up with multiple offers on our home for more than we were expecting given the market at the time. Liat is the most incredible, skilled, knowledgable, and compassionate realtor - she really cares so much about her clients and helping folks navigate the real estate landscape. We feel so fortunate to have met her and to call her our realtor, and we highly recommend to her to any and everyone!

I can't recommend Liat Bostick highly enough. Having been recently widowed, selling my home of almost thirty years was extremely daunting. I was immediately reassured by her professionalism, knowledge and compassionate approach. Liat's familiarity with the area and connections with local trades people continued to awe me throughout the process. I could tell I was in good hands. I temporarily moved out of the area while the house was being readied and Liat provided me daily updates on the progress and involved me when decisions needed to be made. I never felt pressured, it felt like a true partnership. If I was unsure about a proposed bid, she brought in more vendors or let me choose my own. The amount of time and effort she put into working to get my house ready was impressive - no stone left unturned, or detail overlooked. Liat went above and beyond to explain the policies and procedures and filling out the disclosures. I trusted her honest, up-front approach and patient explanation of each and every question I had. Liat transformed my home into what became a stunning open-house experience that drew in multiple offers and ended in a better-than-expected outcome. I highly recommend working with Liat if you want a successful and positive real estate experience.

We had the pleasure of working with Liat and the Grubb Company during our recent home sale. Her expertise and dedication were outstanding. If you're buying or selling, I highly recommend Liat. She is a true professional!

It was an honor and pleasure working with Liat in purchasing my beautiful Lake Merritt condo; I am certain this purchase happened because of Liat's tenacity, skill, knowledge, and expertise. She is passionate about helping her clients find their perfect home, at the perfect time. I waited over a year to find my charming, unique home and I am so grateful to Liat. I also want to speak to Liat's integrity, compassion and patience. I always knew she had my best interests at heart, and I never felt rushed to make a decision. Liat is a superb and intelligent communicator. Often times, I would get a response to a text or call within minutes. Liat is at the top of her field and in high demand. However, she always made me feel that I was very important, and that she was never too busy to respond to me. I consider Liat a dear friend. She also sold my home after my husband passed away, and I will never forget how expertly and compassionately she handled the sale. I give my highest recommendation to Liat as both buying and selling agent.

Thanks to Liat, I found, purchased, and moved into a great new house in Oakland in just under a month. She knows the area really well and she looks out for your interests. Very happy.

We worked with Liat on buying our first home and then again selling it 8 years later. Liat is very knowledgeable about the local market, always available and responsive, and helped navigate the thousand questions we had first in buying and then in selling a home. When we bought our house we were new to the Oakland market and she helped us understand the different neighborhoods and markets in surrounding areas. She helped us work through the complicated art of offers in a sellers market. When we sold our house, she helped us navigate an unpredictable market and prioritized where we should spend our budgeted funds on upgrades, changes, etc. We'd happily recommend Liat!
