"Emily is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. She knows the industry well, knows what buyers want and are looking for. She never told me what to do, but gave suggestions. I followed her suggestions to the T and my home sold in just 3 days for over asking. (While other similar properties and been sitting stale for months). I could not have sold this house without her. I was so overwhelmed and she made it seamless and easy till the very end for me. She went above and beyond without hesitation. She is very friendly and personable. Everyone that met Emily adored her. She is a bright light that people are drawn to. If you need someone to help sell or buy a home, sheās the one you need.

"It's not often you come across stand out talent like Emily who started initially as killer agent turned friend/family. Emily was a referral from my best friend after a not so great experience working with other agents where we didn't have our offer accepted. I knew after our first conversation, Emily genuinely cared about our best interest, trusted our lead and that she would be the right person during negotiation to not only help us purchase our new house for $100k under list price but help us sell our current home for top dollar. Her expertise in the Bay Area market was instrumental in helping us find the best location in Walnut Creek near good schools for our daughter and future son. She really went above and beyond for us, doing all the leg work to make it as easy as possible for us during this process which can be stressful and time consuming --- not to mention I trusted her wholeheartedly. I hope every single friend and family member of mine use her during their home buying and selling process because she's simply the best!

"Emily did an outstanding job assisting us in purchasing our first home. Emily is very knowledgeable, she cares about her clients, she is positive and very engaged throughout the process. We were only looking for a month and we ended up buying our first home we made an offer on, which happened to be while I was on vacation in Japan. This was very stressful and overwhelming but Emily was there to guide us through out this process and help to answer any questions even with the different timezones. We highly recommend Emily and can honestly say that we found an AMAZING agent and also a fantastic friend. There are not enough words to express our gratitude and look forward to working together in the future. Thank you, Emily for all your help and support!!!!

"As we were looking to finally make our cross-country move, Emily stood by our side for TWO YEARS, working with us remotely and in-person. The final result was her finding our dream home, which is no easy feat in this challenging market. Emily is very diligent, hands on, and responsive--we can't recommend her enough.

"I had the best time working with Emily and she was so helpful in finding us our first home! When we first met, Emily asked us some really thoughtful questions that we never thought about. Once we discussed some of these, we narrowed our search and ended up buying the first house we made an offer on, which happened to be the first house we saw in person! This was super overwhelming and Emily was SO helpful in breaking down all the jargon and coaching us through the whole process. I know it was stressful, and she was great in helping manage all our emotions and was super attentive and helpful. I highly recommend Emily and am so thankful we had the chance to work with her!

"Emily was a huge help with both finding us a house to buy, and then with selling ours. She was extremely patient with our extensive house hunt during the crazy housing market. Emily is very professional, knowledgeable about the housing market, and was always on top of communicating with the realtors of the houses we were interested in. She helped us get our house ready to sell in order to get the most out of it. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking to buy or sell!

"Upon our first meeting, I knew that Emily Young was the person that I needed to represent me in the sale of my home. My home was a much loved home that offered space for large gatherings of family and friends, as well as numerous areas to occupy, when quiet reflection was the order of the day. It was a refuge, a safe haven, and after nearly thirty years of calling it āhomeā, the thought of leaving was sad and very overwhelming. But, it was time to downsize, as this home was too much home for a single person, and needed a family to occupy and love it as we had done for so many years. Emily was just the person to guide me through this process. Her knowledge of the real estate industry as a whole as well as my particular āmarketā, the people she chose to align herself with in making my home the best home it could be, her professionalism, her sense of style and grace, the organizational skills shown, in keeping things on track, done when they were suppose to be done, and done as they should be done, and still being able to explain all this to me and keep me informed at every step of the wayā¦I was and am, in awe of Emily Young. But above all else, Emily ālistenedā. She listened to a person who had the love and support of her children, but had recently lost her husband and life partner, and was trying to make such a decision by herself, knowing that the time for a change was needed. I am grateful for having had Emily Young as my real estate representative, but most grateful for now being able to call Emily Young a trusted friend. She is one of a kind.

"The emotional and physical stress of moving to another state and selling your home after 34 years can be overwhelmingā¦the day after the movers came, Emily said, āgive me your keys and donāt worry, I will take care of everythingā. And she did! She coordinated painters, repairs, flooring, gardeners, staging and photography all in less than a week! She did so with the utmost respect for us and our home. While other homes were pulled from the market and price s decreased, ours was sold in a week! Emily has great positive energy, is honest and confident, not to mention she has a great eye for design and attention to detail! She communicated with us on a constant basis to keep us abreast of everything that was going on! The start to finish was so smooth for us-she wasnāt kidding when she told us, she would take care of everything! She absolutely did! Thank you Emily!

"We felt so fortunate to work with Emily to find our dream house in Orinda. It was such a smooth process with her support. We were moving from San Francisco so had little knowledge of all the nuances of the community and Emily helped us feel comfortable with our decision and the neighborhood. She provides great ideas and recommendations on expanding and adding to your home. There are so many up and downs in purchasing a home, and Emily supported us with her communication and positivity to keep going. The market is competitive but Emily makes the process personal and doable. We truly would not have found our new home without Emily!

"A friend of mine told me about Emily Young when we were ready to put our house on the market. This friend raved about how great Emily was and insisted that we should at least meet with her. Truth be told I was a little bit skeptical but agreed to meet with Emily. And I am so glad we did because Emily blew us out of the water - she is charming, personable & very knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Bay Area. Her design skills helped us present our property in the best possible light to the point where my husband almost didnāt want to sell the place after all! And Emilyās creative and out of the box thinking & strategies helped us close the deal even as interest rates were rising & the market was slowing down. With Emily in your corner you will get the best possible deal, whether buying or selling a property.
