"We can’t recommend Holly Henkel enough! She’s always been a great
resource on the purchase & sale of multiple homes over the years. Not only is she extremely personable & responsive, she’s also very knowledgeable of East Bay neighborhoods and the competitive Bay Area Real Estate market. Recently, Holly patiently helped us find our new Walnut Creek home while navigating the challenging safety protocols of the pandemic. Once we were in contract, she was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process and looking out for our best interests. Holly was just as helpful when we had to sell our Alameda condo following our move to Walnut Creek. She led us every step of the way to prep the place, stage it and get it sold for exactly what we hoped. Holly Henkel is an amazing realtor that we now consider a friend!" -Mark and Anna

"We are pleased to enthusiastically recommend Holly Henkel to anyone who is considering a future home sale as we were tremendously impressed with her in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, responsiveness, and professionalism. We have been working with Holly for the past five years and it has been a privilege to count Holly both as a friend and someone who we can trust and rely upon in our real estate decisions.
Holly was vital in helping us to recently sell our Lafayette house for well above our asking price. Holly was actively involved throughout the process, which was considerably easier and more straightforward than we had anticipated due to her expertise and constant attention to detail. Holly also is impressively well-connected both in the Lamorinda real estate community and nationwide by virtue of her Compass network.
We first worked with Holly in 2016 on an Orinda property, and we immediately knew she would be someone we wished to work with for the future sale of our Lafayette home. In addition to her exceptional understanding of the Lamorinda market, Holly has also brokered introductions to other real estate professionals on the east coast who we will rely upon for our upcoming move. In summary, we could not have been more pleased with Holly Henkel's support with our various real estate endeavors over the past several years, and we are pleased to enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable, responsive, and caring real estate professional." - Ben and Stephanie
