I found Liat after doing some stealthy research using yelp, just as I assume you are doing. She was easy to get in contact with and meet immediately. During our first meeting, I could quickly tell she is very professional and knowledgeable in the real estate business. Her patience and guidance throughout selling my Oakland Hills condo was reassuring. My condo was on the market for a little over a month, and she tirelessly held Open Houses to keep interest and activity on my property. I ended up receiving multiple offers and accepted the offer which was for over asking! Liat was warm and friendly throughout the entire process, while making necessary appointments to get my condo ready for the competitive bay area market. Even after purchasing a new home, she keeps in contact to check up on my family. Liat made the home-selling process easier than I expected and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, hard-working real estate agent.

We bought a home in October with Liat as our agent and couldn't recommend her more highly. We came to her serendipitously, through an acquaintance's recommendation. Liat is warm and pleasant to spend time with, a key consideration for this long process. She was very patient and her reassuring manner helped us to be patient as well. She was quick to grasp what we were looking for in a home and neighborhood while also presenting us with a range of options throughout Oakland and Berkeley, which was also key, as our criteria shifted over the course of our search. When it came time to make bids, Liat helped us to stay optimistic after a few bids fell short. Then, when we found the house we ended up buying, her frank assessment and accurate predictions throughout the process helped give us the confidence that we were making the right decision. We feel lucky that we found Liat when we did.

Liat was amazing to work with while closing on my first home! She took what is an extremely daunting process and walked me through it with great ease. She listened to what I wanted and she helped make my dream of owning a home a reality. I definitely recommend working with her as she is extremely dedicated to satisfying your needs, has a very professional demeanor and was easy to work with. She truly knows her stuff and helped me close on a home in a very competitive market. Her negotiating skills helped me save additional money and a lot of stress by providing me with multiple trusted suggestions for contractors and specialists to work with. If you are looking to close on your dream home in Oakland or the surrounding area, Liat is definitely the realtor you want to go with!

Liat is an amazing realtor. She truly cares about her clients and always has your best interest in mind. We used Liat to help us sell our house in Oakland. My husband and I were both switching careers which led us to leave California with very little notice to Liat. She handled pretty much EVERYTHING for us. From scheduling the contractors to come give us bids, to guiding us through making decisions on what improvements were necessary, she took away a lot of stress. She is very honest, "tells it how it is" and is always on her clients side. Our house was on the market for a very short period of time and we received multiple offers. We closed within 22 days and everything went seamless. I know there are a lot of variables when it comes to selling & closing on a house, but Liat did everything she could do to make it go smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend Liat Bostick to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in her area. If we ever move back to the Bay Area, she will be the first person we call! I am open talking to anyone looking for more information on our experience with Liat. Just message me. Thanks again Liat!

We were successful in buying a home with Liat on the first offer we wrote with her. Prior to Liat, we had worked with another real estate agent for some time and had many unsuccessful offers behind us (and the battle scars to prove it). Liat, however, is very strategic and extremely knowledgeable about the idiosyncratic Oakland market. That, combined with her diligence and professionalism, really set her apart. She is also very responsive and held our hand through what was a nerve-wracking closing process, literally touching base with us and/or our mortgage broker on a daily basis to ensure everything went smoothly. In looking for an agent, we weren't terribly concerned about personality as we just wanted someone who could help us successfully navigate this competitive market and get into a home of our own but the fact that Liat is so very warm and caring was, for us, the icing on the cake. Post-purchase, she continues to be a wonderful resource, connecting us with reputable tradesmen. We *highly* recommend Liat.

Liat is the best. She is very responsive, personable, knows the market, thinks strategically, and provides great advice. She is a good listener and compassionate; she knows when to let you be and when to help you think things through. My brothers and I were selling our parents' house in Oakland after our father passed. The prepping, then selling was pretty tough. Liat was there to guide us, help when needed, and respectful when we needed to draw back and consider. She made sure that "all the ducks were in a row" before we went on the market so that the process went very smoothly. I would work with Liat again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!

I very highly recommend Liat as your Realtor. She is the Best of the best. She has tremendous integrity and is always strong and poised on behalf of the seller-client. At a moment's notice, she springs into action, mastering all the details at hand. Liat is professional and helpful and always will lock the deal. She is strongly supportive of the seller and constantly is delivering the goods. She is so conscientious and energetic and able to foresee potential problems. Liat treated me like a cherished friend, making the sale of my home. She is a phenomenal agent.

Liat recently sold my grandfather's home in Oakland and went above and beyond to assist our long distance (east coast) family in the process. She found us movers, haulers, handymen, etc. She was readily available at all times, kind and patient. Liat helped make this seamless and easy which was no easy feat. Needless to say, we highly recommend Liat and are grateful to have found her!

Liat was amazing to work with. She was so patient with us as she showed us around the Montclair, Glenview, Crocker and Oakmore neighborhoods. She was honest and informative about each area, never trying to push us hard in any direction - she clearly just wanted us to understand everything we needed to know so we could make the best decision as we moved from SF. The best part is when we did the find the home we really wanted, with her counsel we got it! We couldn't believe it. And her amazing partnership did not end there; since we purchased the home she has continued to act as an amazing Montclair mentor helping us with childcare, gardners, restaurants etc. I highly highly recommend you work with her - you will not be disappointed!

Liat wasthe perfect realtor for us. My husband and I met Liat at a home she was showing a few years ago, when we were just beginning to think about buying a house. We were newbies and this was our first open house. The open house was very busy, but she focused on us without being distracted by all the ins and outs. As first time home buyers with no information, she helped us with resources and education about home buying, mortgages, etc. Fast forward a year- we we're ready to begin the search. Liat helped us to start our search and spent time to get to know what we wanted in a home. She helped us narrow down everything to focus our search. She coached us through our offers and ultimately her advice led us to our perfect home. Liat is knowledgeable, patient, focused and experienced, not to mention light hearted with a good sense of humor. She helped us learn from our open houses and trust our instincts in our offers. We couldn't imagine a better realtor. Thanks Liat!
