Why Work with The Grubb Company?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Lisa is absolutely incredible. We used her to buy our new house and to sell our old home. The purchase of our new home went as smoothly and as quickly as possible. Lisa worked well with the sellers' agents to answer our questions, provided us with data and comps so that we understood the market, and found us a beautiful house to call home.
With respect to the sale of our old home, no one could have worked harder. Lisa organized inspections, repairs, cleaning, staging, and photography, quickly and with little to no involvement from us. She even helped us close out an open permit and met the city inspector for us when we were tied up at work. She treated our home with such love and care. She was invested and protective of it. She also took care of us. Selling a home is incredibly stressful and Lisa answered our questions, listened to our concerns, and was super responsive and thoughtful. Finally, with respect to marketing, Lisa stands heads and shoulders above the rest. She knows traditional marketing, but she excels at making videos and getting views on social media. She's not only an authoritative voice on the real estate market, but her videos are fun and engaging too. Ultimately, Lisa made our house shine, she secured many competitive offers, and she got us a fantastic price significantly over asking.
Lisa is effective because she is driven, savvy, organized, hustles, listens, and pays attention to details. But she also loves what she does. She'll be excited to have the opportunity to work with you and will make you excited too.

"It was a dark and stormy night" marked the beginning of our successful house-hunting story with Lisa, who at last minute's notice waited patiently for us on the wet steps of a newly listed property that we wished to tour, despite the dismal weather that February evening. Lisa came immensely recommended by our good friends, and right away we could see why: her graciousness in accommodating our harried schedules as working parents of a toddler; her warmth and enthusiasm as she greeted us for the first time; her preparedness and dedication as she proceeded to give us a well-informed tour of the house followed by her detailed analysis of current market trends and comparable sales.
From that night on, Lisa toured every single house with us and afterwards dissected each brimming disclosure packet to prepare her invaluable "CliffsNotes" for us. And although like our toddler we always asked a million questions, Lisa always had all the answers, and then some: for instance, one Sunday morning we mused to Lisa over text messaging if we might be able to add a half bath to a property we toured the day before, and an hour later she phoned us to let us know that she had arranged a contractor to meet with us onsite that very morning to address our inquiries to our full satisfaction. Well-connected, brilliant and indefatigable, Lisa proved time and time again to be our shining North Star as we navigated together the constellation of Piedmont houses in the coming months. Before Lisa, we had expected house-buying to be of the same dismal level of wretchedness as trying to find a parking spot at the packed Berkeley Bowl or attempting to stick to our New Year's Resolutions about three weeks into the year, but with Lisa's humor, warmth and sincerity, we actually looked forward to each time we met Lisa next: it felt as though we were converging perfectly on the intersection of a dream of a home.
Because of Lisa's labors, we were able to purchase our beloved home in less than three months, a stupendous feat considering we are the type of folks who usually take more time than that to decide on a curtain pattern.
Lisa, thank you for a great time and a wonderful home--please stop by often!

Would like to thank and recommend Lisa for her professionalism, extremely high EQ, and most importantly, her Piedmont real estate market specific expertise. Lisa inherited an extremely challenging listing of which was significantly negatively impacted by the lack of execution from a previous agent. Lisa performed with humility and insightfully made adjustments to a failed marketing & staging strategy yet more importantly completed the task within her clearly defined timetable after over 8 months of disappointment from the previous agent.

Lisa went above and beyond to get my house sold, and it was an especially difficult house to sell. There were definitely some features of the house which caused many buyers to walk away, and she still secured me an offer which I was very happy with.
Lisa selected top notch staging which fit my budget, and she thought of many unique and helpful touches to add for the open houses and advertising which drew in enough buyers to get us an offer, in the ideal timeline and price range. She was always lightning fast to respond to any questions, and she kept me updated and in the loop about everything which was happening with the house sale. She also helpfully addressed several issues which came up during the process of negotiation and closing the sale. Pretty much any roadblock that came up, she cleared it immediately with skill and grace. Most of all, I appreciate that she was kind and thoughtful during the whole process. You will be lucky to work with Lisa, and I'm very thankful that I had her help to sell my home.

It was a whirlwind and the fastest and most straightforward process in purchasing a home with Lisa's professional help. I have PTSD from the entire emotional process of purchasing a home in the past and wasn't excited about searching. I frequently view new listings and was waiting for the right home to pop up. Randomly, I fell in love with a listing that was in Piedmont that had an amazing layout for my family. I needed someone I could trust and who knew what they were doing. I was introduced to Lisa from my brother just to see if things were possible. Lisa was with me the entire time and made the process so easy. She was honest and was amazing at updating and staying on top of everything from beginning to end. She knew and anticipated my questions and concerns before I addressed them with her. I felt comfortable and knew she was there to assist me in purchasing the one home I put an offer in. Lisa is a go-getter and a multitasker. When she was going through the process of finding and helping me buy the house, I felt like I was her only client at anytime of the day. I literally just met her and three weeks later I had the keys in my hands to my dream home. Thank you, Lisa, for making this arduous process of buying a home happen

Lisa recently helped us with the sale of our long-time home in Piedmont. From our first meeting, we were impressed by Lisa's warm energy and professionalism, and we appreciated her involvement in the Piedmont community and deep knowledge of the local market. Lisa is meticulously organized and managed the scheduling of all of the various contractors and inspectors on a tight schedule, while always being flexible to our needs.
Lisa really shines in her creative and ambitious approach to marketing. It was fun to watch her ideas take shape as the home went on the market. In no time at all we received multiple very good offers and once we accepted, Lisa and the Grubb team made the escrow and closing process simple and stress-free.
Thank you, Lisa, for all of your hard work making our home sale a success!

As first-time homebuyers, we were seeking a local agent who knew the Piedmont real estate market and could help us navigate the home buying process. We met Lisa at a house that she was selling, and she left an impression with how knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful she was. When it came to choosing an agent to represent us, Lisa was our obvious choice. Here are a few reasons why you should work with her.
Lisa took the time to listen to the evolution of what we were looking for and helped us see the opportunity in the properties we looked at. We learned a lot about the local market and trends from her. In preparation for our offer, Lisa worked with us to optimize all aspects of our offer to be competitive as possible. Lisa has effective interpersonal and negotiation skills and was able to work with all parties to get to a good place that ultimately resulted in a successful offer for us.
We really appreciated how Lisa took all our questions seriously, no matter how big or small regarding the houses we were interested in and about the overall home buying process. If she didn't know the answer, she would track it down. Not all agents have the same intellectual curiosity and tenacity to do this. She went above and beyond for us many times answering questions, connecting us with experts, removing roadblocks, and helping us feel comfortable in making such a big decision.
Last, we wanted to highlight that Lisa always made us feel like we were her top priority. We found out that our successful offer happened to be at a time where Lisa was in the middle of two other successful Piedmont purchases. Even though she was in the middle of a lot, we didn't notice anything change because she always took the time to take our calls and respond to our messages.
We are extremely satisfied with our experience with Lisa. She has been amazing in all steps of the home-buying journey and continues to be a resource well after our purchase. We would highly recommend her and definitely work with her again - she's the best!
