Testimonials

“Working with Andrea Ruport was a pleasure. She is an excellent communicator, and we were always informed of our choices and how those choices would affect our outcome. Andrea is a gifted listener; she has the experience and knowledge that helped us sell our home for the best possible price. She has valuable input, excellent knowledge of the market, and she knew how best to prepare our home for sale. We felt very well heard and well taken care of in every step of the process. Selling a home can be very stressful, but working with Andrea made the process of updating, and selling our property manageable and exciting. She was committed to us as her clients. Andrea’s direction and attention to detail resulted in us obtaining multiple offers on our property and a sale price in an amount that was well over the asking price. I highly recommend Andrea Ruport to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.”

"Andrea brings the big picture to the table without losing focus on the tasks at hand. We greatly appreciated her shepherding us through the stress filled time of prepping our home for sale. She's an excellent listener, authentically curious and flexible too. We changed gears on our plans a few times and she didn't get ruffled feathers. By the time our home was listed we had already moved out of state, she made that transition comfortable by earning our trust and being absolutely competent."

“While living out of state I contacted Andrea to get a general trend of the market. She consulted with me, advised on the right timing to sell, took care of all home improvements and ran 2 successful open houses that generated an abundance of offers, all yielding amazing profits. With her network, marketing efforts, expertise in the Bay Area market, and her genuine personality, I was able to step back and let her take care of the whole process, stress free. With the successful sale of this house and it’s amazing profit, I was able to capitalize on additional properties out of state all because of partnering with someone who was your long term property goals in mind!”

“Andrea is everything you could ask for in a real estate agent. Extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market and process, super nice, and always available! I wouldn’t use anyone else! She’s really that good.”

“Andrea helped us buy our first home in Alameda. Throughout the process she was patient, responsive and an overall great partner. We especially appreciated her impeccable knowledge about the local area. In a very competitive market she helped us find the perfect house in our desired neighborhood. We would likely recommend working with her!”

“Andrea is honest, realistic, and thorough. More importantly she over delivers and is a true partner. I would only work with her selling and investing on a property. She is a natural at being a real estate agent. To win, make sure she is with your team.”

“I had almost given up hope on finding a home until I met Andrea. Her patience and respect for my personal needs along with her knowledge of the market in Oakland helped me find the perfect home at a great price. I am forever grateful to her.”

“We loved working with Andrea. She was responsive, easy to work with, listened to what we were looking for and had great knowledge especially about the real estate market in Alameda where we focused our search. We now live in our dream home and it’s thanks to Andrea!”

"When we found out we were moving back to the East Bay – I knew that we had to work with Kim Lombardi Becker. I knew Kim to be tenacious, gracious and detail-oriented – I wanted her to help with our home purchase. And we were right. The house we found required a great deal of back-and-forth with the owners, realtor and various third-parties. Through every step of the journey Kim was knowledgeable and resourceful – having answers for complicated questions and having experts on call to help with some special requests and needs. Kim also connected us with a great mortgage company. The process of buying a home is never simple – and Kim was there for us with a call or email or a house visit – every step of the process. We consider Kim more than our realtor – she is a friend.”

"Kim is a hustler and SUPER responsive - We looked at houses with her for a few weeks, when we finally made our first offer, and with her help it was ACCEPTED (can you believe it!?!)! From the time we met Kim to the day we moved into our beautiful new home it was less than 1.5 months! Kim is amazing and if you get the chance to work with her, take it!”

"Kim was beyond a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond in helping me ready my house for sale and guiding me through the sale process. She has fantastic connections with many local landscapers, stagers, and handymen, which helped make the whole process incredibly smooth and low-stress. I cannot recommend Kim highly enough. Thanks, Kim!!!”

"We loved working with Kim! We connected with her via our mortgage broker in early February 2020 and started actively looking for our first home together. We got outbid on our first offer and put the breaks on another offer due to covid. We finally got back to seriously looking in May and we found our new home in June. As first time buyers on a tight budget, Kim was an exceptional resource and always quick to respond to our many questions. We truly felt like we had a great advocate on our side throughout the entire process. Thanks to Kim, we can now sit back, enjoy our new home and great yard!"

"Kim helped us both buy and sell homes in Alameda CA this year. She was very responsive, guided us through the weird process of dealing with 2 HOAs, and correctly advised us on how to consider bids and listings. We recommend her as an agent who will respond and who will help you.”

“Amy Weston recently represented us in selling our home, and her service exceeded our expectations. Amy is professional, positive, prompt, and personable. When we first interviewed her, she stated that she would go “above and beyond.” While for many agents these are just words, Amy’s actions truly spoke louder than her words as she competently oversaw every stage of the process. Amy showed strong organizational and time management skills and created a detailed timeline of the process. When we chose to deviate from the original plan, Amy demonstrated flexibility and a willing spirit. She has a keen eye for both creative and business details. Amy was there for us every step of the way and even beyond the close of escrow. We highly recommend Amy Weston as a knowledgeable and efficient real estate agent. Thank you so much, Amy, for all of your hard work.”

“Amy Weston is a fabulous realtor! She was recently our agent for both buying our new home and selling our previous home. She has a great pulse on the market and connections to find before-market homes, which is how we moved so fast to make an offer on a home the day after it hit the market. Amy was always quick to respond, which is crucial with so much communicating that needs to happen fast. She was a joy to work with, enthusiastic about things that excited us, without pressuring in any way. Amy is very knowledgeable and could answer all of our questions and graciously walked us through all the paperwork. We trusted her and followed all of her recommendations for refreshing our old house and staging it, as well as getting the proper inspections completed before moving forward on the new home. She handled all of the work to refresh the old house, from choosing paint colors and carpet to hiring and meeting all the workers at the house. We just reaped the benefits when all that work truly paid off, like she said it would. We couldn't be happier with the sale and purchase of our homes and with the agent who was by our side. She's like one of the family now.”

“Amy did an amazing job helping me find my dream house and selling my old one. She had extensive and detailed knowledge of the current housing market in Alameda. She referred us to some great properties and was always available to set up viewings. Once we found the right house, she expertly guided us through the process of bidding for and purchasing the property. Next, she was able to sell my old home, off market, in one day. I have recommended her to friends that were looking for a professional, diligent and highly motivated agent. It was a pleasure working with Amy!”

“The smartest decision I ever made was choosing Amy Weston and team to represent me in the sale of my house. I made outrageous demands on the sale price I expected for my house; far exceeding any price per square foot ever achieved in my development. I followed Amy’s suggestions and was rewarded with a sales price even higher than I expected. Truly enjoyable and rewarding experience.”

“We purchased our dream home in the Montclair Hills during a challenging time. Amy’s diligence, expertise, and calm demeanor were essential to navigating a successful close. We appreciate everything Amy did to make this a joyous journey, are thrilled with the result, and have gained a friend!”

“We selected Amy as the selling agent for this property as our previous experiences with her were stellar. Amy took care of all the details, from ensuring that remodel work was performed on schedule and within budget, all the way to closing. Equally important to the excellent results she produces, Amy is a calm and knowledgeable professional that is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!”
