āTo say that Jade and Paul were integral to our first home purchase would be an understatement. They were the first realtors that we consulted, and we knew right away that they would be reliable, thoughtful, and genuine guides throughout this daunting process. My husband and I were also first-time buyers and had so many questions, but Jade and Paul were patient every step of the way, answering each of our texts and emails with thorough explanation, going above and beyond each time. They are experts in their field, and most importantly, they are incredible individuals/partners/parents. We were so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them, and we certainly look forward to working with them again. Thank you, guys!ā

āJade and Paul helped me sell my first home. They guided me through the process and were always quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. They are very knowledgeable in all aspects of selling a home including aesthetics and also how to address any structural issues. They advised me on what parts of the house to focus on to get the most return. They know what appeals to todayās buyers and will help you get top dollar for your home. Also, back in 2014 Paul helped me buy my first home. He was able to get my offer chosen even though it wasnāt the highest. I would definitely use Paul and Jade again in the future.ā

āWe connected with Jade and Paul through a recommendation from another realtor, we were looking to sell a piece of land and these guys had a some experience working with land. For anyone that doesnāt know, selling a lot of land is a stranger of a process than a home, and it takes far longer to work through it.
I canāt say enough good things about the method and mechanics and design of Jade and Paulās strategy. I canāt say enough great things about their communication. I donāt even have the words for their positivity and drive. They created a clearly laid out plan, with a schedule for consistent updates with us, they communicated clearly about interest and inquiries, and ultimately sorted out an incredibly smooth closing. Theyāre experts at social media based marketing and create fantastic and interesting content that really does drive views clicks and conversations. Lastly, theyāre simply good people.
I would be happy and proud to recommend Jade and Paul to anyone looking for a modern realtor!ā

āI highly recommend working with Jade and Paul Talbot. They are incredibly professional, reliable, personable, and knowledgeable. They really went above and beyond to understand our needs and make the entire process go smoothly.
Jade and Paul supported us with selling our old house, and we were very satisfied with our final sale price. They made some great recommendations for relatively minor, but high impact upgrades, which really improved the desirability of our house, and which we enjoyed while we were still living in the house. We added a half bathroom, created a walk in closet, and transformed our garage into a home office/guest room. They helped us from start to finish from talking through our budget, to making design decisions, to hiring and coordinating workers, to final staging and all the other details.
They were also super helpful with helping us find and purchase our new house. They were available to walk us through the entire process with great insight into the various neighborhoods, pricing trends, potential house upgrades, and tips for making the strongest bid.ā

āWorking with Paul made my house buying experience easy and stress-free. We found pictures of a house we liked and Paul got us in that day to see it and negotiated a great offer on the house when we decided to pursue it. He also negotiated a seller refund for an old heating system and made sure that everything was working and looked in good condition right with us while we were on site at the house. He is really involved in the home buying process and makes his clients feel comfortable and at ease as he is there to explain and walk you through anything you have questions or concerns about regarding the house. He even provides timelines, letting you know what needs to be done step by step, as well as easy online signing for all paperwork.ā

āMy home buying journey with Paul started when I happened to mention that I had been thinking about buying my first home at a social event. He helped me through the entire process starting from introducing me with my loan officer, and ended with me getting my first home. He is consistently flexible for meetings, available for questions and genuinely engaged in my home buying process. What really set Paul and my home buying experience apart was that he helped me prioritize the things that mattered most to me and partner. That experience made the entire process a whole lot easier to find the home that we wanted in San Francisco.ā

āPaul helped us buy our first home and was an incredible help. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the market and the process of buying, but he's familiar with construction and can point out issues we may not have noticed. He's done his own remodel work too and has a good idea about prices of various upgrades. I had tons of questions and Paul was always available and did a great job negotiating with the seller. He also made the house hunting part really fun! I would absolutely use him again.ā

āAfter working with them off and on for nearly 3 years, my husband and I finally found a home that fit what we were looking for. Paul negotiated a price that was less than asking (nearly unheard of out here) and helped us through a drawn out escrow (due to the shelter-in-place order). I highly recommend Paul and Jade.ā

āPaul and Jade the Talbot team are super hard workers, great communicators, very easy to work with and have a pulse on all current marketing skills. It was a pleasure working with them and we would highly recommend them to all our friends and family.
They managed our kitchen remodel prior to putting the house on the market and managed to sell it even during these trying Covid19 months. Amazing job Team Talbot!!ā

āI went through 4 different realtors and each of them were either too busy or too inexperienced. Paul was not just a perfect balance by being available and experienced, but excelled in meeting my schedule's needs for a fast close, having extremely detailed knowledge of house construction, and guiding me confidently and patiently through the negotiations and closing processes. Look, getting a house in the Bay is crazy right now and I had no idea what to do. Paul wasn't there to just support me, but instead paved the path so I could understand what I needed to know to close on the house we wanted.
We were able to close the house on our 2nd offer, and without Paul, we probably would still be looking, no joke. I'd recommend any of my friends to Paul, and if you already have a realtor, try Paul out and compare your current one, that's what I did, and I have no regrets.ā

āPaul helped my wife and I buy our first home in Oakland in 2018. He was kind, professional, and very knowledgeable about the entire home buying process including aspects of mortgages, HELOCs and refinancing. In addition, Paul also has an extensive background in home remodeling and construction thanks to his dad who was an iron worker. It was reassuring to have a realtor who was both an expert at the home buying process and home construction since we were buying a fixer upper and didn't know how much it could cost to initially remodel our house. Paul knew exactly how much each remodel project would cost and what issues we should look out for during the home inspection. Both Paul and Jade have specialized knowledge about the housing market in the Bay Area particularly the east bay. I would absolutely recommend them for any potential homebuyer.ā

āMy partner and I recently purchased our first home with the help of Jade and Paul. As first time home-buyers, we had so many questions about the process. Jade and Paul always welcomed our questions, gave us detailed answers, and were supportive throughout the home-buying process. With their expertise, we went from being curious about buying a home to closing in less than two months! It was a pleasure working with them and we highly recommend them.ā

āWe met Paul when he helped us find our first condo back in 2017. Paul is a lot of fun to work with, really knowledgeable, and so on top of things. He gave us great advice and guidance when it came to helping us put in our bid, inspections, etc -- we ended up getting our condo (our first bid), despite not being the highest bidder. We reached out to Paul again when we were ready to sell our place this year and he was, once again, amazing. This time, Jade and Paul put together a marketing package that really helped sell our place. The process was being drawn out by the buyer, but Paul helped us navigate those waters. We closed our sale the day before shelter-in-place went into effect. We loved working with Paul and Jade and would highly recommend this amazing duo.ā

āKatie helped us buy our first home in the Bay Area, and she was wonderful to work with. Coming from out of state, we were surprised how different the home buying process is here. Katieās knowledge of the local market is so thorough; sheās friendly and supportive with her clients and from what we saw, she has a great rapport with other agents. With Katie, we felt so valued and cared-for throughout the entire process, and we love our new home!ā

āWhen my wife and I found out we were going to have our first kid, we knew it was time to leave the duplex and move into a home. This was such a smart, great decision during a global pandemic in the craziest housing market in the country said no home buyer ever. We spent a few months on our own taking tours, searching the apps, and driving around neighborhoods, but overwhelmingly hopeless doesn't do justice to how we were feeling during that time.
That is when Jade and Paul came into our lives. From the moment we met them, we felt kindred spirits that were genuinely invested in finding a future house for our growing family. They took us on personal tours all over Oakland, which were especially helpful since we came from NYC and had no idea where we should even be looking. They viewed each home and neighborhood we saw as an opportunity for them to understand what was important to us and make sure they weren't wasting our time.
This market is insanely competitive and wow did we feel it as soon as we made our first offer. That initial process was so much to take in as first time home buyers, but they walked us through every moment, including helping us find our financing person. We ended up coming in second, but we knew this first one was more about going through the offer process.
Unfortunately, we didn't need that same experience after the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th times we made a bid. In each bid there were between 5-20 couples also making offers and each time, we were the second couple behind the accepted bid.
We were at the end of our timeline and had just about given up to find a two-bedroom apartment since our lease was up. Jade and Paul didn't let us give up and kept reminding us, the only bid that we need is just the one that gets accepted. They pulled out all the stops and left no stone unturned to finally find the house we knew we wanted and on our 5th bid, a beautiful 2 story in Maxwell Park was finally accepted.
Jade and Paul made sure that everything we needed was addressed by the seller, or they used their vast network to connect us with any of the missing pieces we needed to complete the purchase. I'll never forget the day I had a mini panic attack because the final costs could have been in a range of āok this isn't too badā to āholy hell this is way over our budget.ā Paul became my mini therapist and listened to each point and helped me understand the bigger picture and how the actual process would most likely play out. Having these two around for these difficult first time home-buyer anxieties was priceless.
It's hard to quantify just how much they did for us, but they never made us feel like we were a burden no matter how picky we were. They also never made us feel like we were silly noobies no matter how ādumbā our questions may have been. The only thing I wish we did differently was to find them sooner. Also, they made us laugh from the moment we met them and in 2020, that was definitely a hidden perk!ā

āWhen we wanted to take a wild leap and sell our condo and buy a new construction home during a pandemic, we turned to Jade and Paul Talbot. Paul had helped us buy our Oakland condo five years ago, and we'd kept in touch and been impressed with their East Bay real estate expertise and marketing savvy. We were unsure about buying and selling during COVID, but once we spoke to Paul and Jade and saw how nimbly they'd adapted - including following all safety protocols, creating high-quality virtual home tours, and scheduling private showings - we knew we'd be in good hands.
When we first decided to move, Paul and Jade helped us understand the tricky market and patiently worked with us as we figured out exactly what we were looking for. When we found the home we wanted to buy, Paul was right there, connecting us with an incredible lender and helping us quickly put in a strong offer, which was accepted! Paul had experience buying new construction and set our expectations so we were not surprised when there were delays. While we waited for the new house to be built, we worked with Jade and Paul to sell the condo we were living in. After extensive strategizing, we decided to put our condo for sale off-market so we could both continue living in it while the new house was under construction and save on staging + property prep costs.
Paul and Jade advised us on how to prep our condo for sale, including connecting us with a wonderful handyman who landscaped our front yard and did some cosmetic touch-ups inside for a reasonable price. Jade arranged a lovely photo shoot and marketed the condo as a "private exclusive" with a transparent price through Compass. They leveraged their extensive network to arrange several private showings, and within days we accepted an offer significantly over the list price, which we were thrilled with. Paul and Jade skillfully negotiated a longer rent-back period so we could stay in the condo until our new home was ready.
It was a tight timeline to get the condo listed and sold, and Paul and Jade adeptly managed the process from listing to close of escrow without any hiccups. We are so grateful to have worked with Paul and Jade and had such a smooth and successful buying/selling process, including lots of laughs along the way. Paul and Jade are not only knowledgeable and strategic realtors, but also patient, compassionate, and kind humans who care deeply about their community. We highly recommend the Talbot Team!ā

āI cannot recommend the Talbot Team enough. They have been so amazing throughout the entire process of selling our house, and they have made something that is inherently stressful and anxiety-inducing easier than I ever could have imagined. We decided to sell our home in Oakland and relocate to Southern California during the very uncertain period of Covid quarantine, and Jade and Paul guided us expertly through the process in a way that made us feel comfortable and safe. They were always available to give us their advice and guidance (they continue to do this even after our sale closed), and it is clear that they both love what they do. On top of all of this, they are wonderful people to be around. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area, do yourself a favor and work with Paul and Jade.ā

āJade and Paul made our home buying process so enjoyable! As first time home buyers, we were nervous about entering a highly competitive market. But after sharing what we were looking for, they were able to give us greater insight and helped us strategize for our search. They understood our needs and used their expertise to guide us through the process.
We were initially prepared to spend 3-6 months searching but with Jade and Paulās help, we were able to find our house and close escrow in a little over a month! And despite all of the Covid restrictions, Jade created convenient itineraries for our weekend home tours, even adding properties that were not listed yet. When we found our house, they counseled us on the importance of creating a strong, clean offer while keeping in mind our personal and financial needs. Theyāve also been available for helping us through our kitchen and bathroom renovation even after we closed with recommendations for contractors and design options. Itās clear they have a deep understanding of the local market and love for this work. We could not be happier with our experience working with them and with our new home!ā

āJade and Paul were attuned to our particular needs and desires, and well-suited to sell our house in this market and in our San Leandro neighborhood in particular. They asked all the right questions to gain the information they needed to set up the sale and market the house, but without being overly intrusive or pushy about anything. They reassured us by repeatedly saying that if things got too hectic, we could always hit pause on the sale and revisit later in the year. Even if real estate agents are ultimately in the business of selling houses, it was nice to hear that we would stay in the driverās seat of the process. After an in-person meeting, a few calls and Zooms, it was clear that Jade and Paul would work hard to get the home sold in the most efficient and fruitful way possible. Jade in particular had an intuitive sense that we wanted to move quickly, and she immediately matched that by laying out a rapid, but entirely doable sale schedule. We signed on with Talbot Team enthusiastically.
When the local sales market started to take off as we were prepping the home, Jade and Paul proposed a shift in sale strategy that turned out to be prescient and very sensitive to the micro-movements in the pace of local sales. And even though it required some last-minute changes on our end, the Talbots were very transparent in presenting the potential upsides along with the downsides of going for full market exposure.
In the end, in the space of one month, we had gone from meeting the Talbots for the first time to having over a dozen offers to choose from---really impressive! Donāt get me wrong, selling on that timetable required a lot of effort by us as the sellers, but Jade, Paul, and Stevie put tremendous effort of their own to get the house ready to show and securing dozens of showing and a set of multiple strong offers. From consulting on self-staging and design choices, advising on vendors, navigating the complicated sales contracts, and even supplying some last-minute decor, Talbot Team were dedicated to getting us our best outcome throughout. (Also, these guys are all over the little things that make it easier, like an ongoing SMS text thread, shared Google Drive folders, and stopping by to deliver/pick-up keys and so on.) In the end, we were very pleased with the sale process, and highly doubt we wouldāve ended up where we did without the energy and work Talbot Team put into our home.ā

āThis is a triple five stars team! Absolutely fantastic execution and smooth transaction. We completely trusted Jade and Paul to run sale of our house and they delivered. We didn't have to move a finger. Everything was organized and coordinated by Talbot Team. Every step of the process was explained and key decisions were talked through. In our chaotic lives - this was unforgettable experience and a reminder on how things should be. An excellent service and execution!ā

āThe Talbot Team was our team when we bought our home and the experience was so excellent when it came time to move cross country and sell our home we didn't even speak to anyone else. They made sure the process was smooth and helped us save money along the way. The concierge program with Compass was incredibly valuable, I highly recommend speaking with them about this option when it comes time to sell your home. In the end, we are sad that we won't be able to use this team to purchase a new home in Louisiana, but I hope this review helps other new home owners choose Paul and Jade.ā

āMy husband and I met Jade by chance at an open house 6 weeks ago, decided to work with Talbot Team a week later, and now weāre first time homeowners!! Jade & Paul were proactive, attentive, and extremely communicative. As first time home buyers, we knew nothing about the process but they quickly got us up to speed and out seeing homes. Now that weāve closed on our home, there are a few renovations to be made. Jade and Paul have been an invaluable resource during this phase as well. Not only are they highly skilled, but theyāre very well connected and a pleasure to work with. They made this stressful process fun! We could not be happier with Talbot Team.

āMy wife and I were introduced to Paul and the Talbot team through the recommendation of a friend who also had a good home buying experience through Paul. We were completely satisfied through the entire process. Paul is very personable and knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys what he does. Obviously, purchasing in the Bay Area during this moment was a bit stressful, but Paul made the process much better by helping us understand what and where our budget could land us. We ultimately found a great home in El Cerrito, and had a smooth closing period. He introduced us to some of his favorite contractors and got them scheduled for some improvements we wanted done before moving in. Overall, highly recommend him for your home buying experience!ā

āIt was a breeze working with Paul and Jade plus the Talbot Team. They represented us in selling our condo and buying our first home. The help with staging our condo with the wonderful photos helped to sell our property quickly. Also, with this hot sellers' market, someone from the Talbot Team was always ready to show us any property we were interested in. Their knowledge of the paperwork and processes made both selling and buying a home less stressful. If you are looking for a team to support you sell or buy a property, the Talbot Team is the best choice to make!ā

āThis is woefully overdue (Jade and Paul helped us buy our home a year ago!), but itās been a busy year of showing the house some love. We started seriously looking to buy a house in January of 2020 having no clue the world consuming insanity that was soon to come. We had the pleasure of meeting Paul at an open house in early February and decided to continue to pursue looking for a home in April and May 2020. Buying a home during a global pandemic was nothing I ever expected to do, especially as a first time home buyer. Pre-pandemic weād met several agents, but Paul was the one that made a positive lasting impact, so when it was time to get serious we knew he was the one to call.
Paul was amazing! We anticipated with our budget weād be looking more at a fixer-upper and Paul was able to talk us through potential projects in each home. After seeing our now home, we knew we had to put in an offer asap and called him on the way home from the viewing. A few nail biting weeks later (during which Jade and Paul were lovely and compassionate as I was a nervous wreck) we closed on our home! It was strange never having met the seller, but we communicated through some written correspondence that Paul encouraged us to write and Iām convinced that it is really what sealed the deal for us getting the home.
Since the sale Jade and Paul have kept in touch, acting as a resource for some work we wanted to do, and have been encouraging through our DYI adventures.
If youāre looking for agents that are smart, savvy, experienced, kind, funny, and overall genuinely good humans, you canāt go wrong with Team Talbot!!ā

āI can't speak highly enough for the Talbot Team! I live in Southern California so I researched Oakland agents to find them. My Glenview house was in my family since 1949 and I hated to sell but the time had come. Jade and Paul are experts on the market and not only advised me but also oversaw every aspect of the home preparation, which was somewhat extensive as there was a bit of deferred maintenance and the place needed sprucing up. I was not on site for anything, but they were, and I felt an immense trust in their expertise, integrity, and unabashed yet gentle honesty. They are very communicative and clear, quick to respond, thoughtful, sensitive, generous beyond anything I could possibly have expected - and fantastic negotiators. The rest of the team is likewise terrific. I took Jade and Paul's advice every step and they delivered literally everything they promised. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience and recommend them unreservedly. And Compass Concierge - also fantastic.ā

āPaul and Jade are a dream to work with! They're both personable, honest, and communicative, and they made the entire process of both buying and selling feel as low-stress as possible.
We worked with Paul during our search to buy a home earlier in 2021 (and my husband had worked with him several years beforehand when he purchased a condo). The market was nuts, but Paul always made time to drive out (often through some hefty traffic) to walk through any homes we had an interest in. He had a great balance of asking our opinions while also offering up useful perspectives. Neither my husband nor I have much experience with remodeling or home improvements, so it was super helpful to talk to Paul in those moments when we liked a house but were curious about what it would take to change a few things around. He was patient and helpful while we navigated the highly competitive bidding landscape of the spring/summer 2021 in the Bay Area, and listened to even some of our strangest concerns as we would get ready to throw our name in for a place. Eventually we landed a home that feels really perfect for us and that's in a neighborhood we're excited about. The buying process was smooth, and Paul's friendly nature made it easy for him to help field any questions we had with the seller!
When it came time to sell the condo, we had the pleasure of working with both Jade and Paul. They assessed our place and had stagers and cleaners at the ready to make it looks as nice as possible. Jade came up with a great timeline for how this process would work which made everything easy to follow, and was super communicative through email. We also appreciated the Talbots' efforts to really market the place in a professional and appealing way - we loved our condo and felt comforted knowing they were giving it the best chance to show its stuff! When there were some delays in closing the sale, Jade and Paul kept us up to date every step of the way, letting us know where things were in the process and how long they expected things to take. Thanks to their communication we never felt worried.
I also have to give a shoutout to the folks working with Jade and Paul. Stevie in particular was always super communicative when we needed quick responses, were looking to see property disclosures, or needed to schedule a house viewing with Paul the next day.
Although we didn't end up purchasing anything that required massive amount of remodel work, I get the sense the the Talbot Team's creativity and passion for their own remodeling projects could especially be a huge asset to those looking to take on a property that might need a little love here and there.
Overall we had a great experience working with the Talbots and would definitely recommend them to folks looking to buy in the bay area!ā

āWhen my wife Karen and I first dipped our toes into the deep, dark abyss that is the Bay Area housing market we were naive, like young animals in the spring, unaware of the dangers that lurk around (seemingly) every corner.
Little did we know that the realtors who we had engaged would be like shepherds for sheep who would guide us through every intricacy of the process and consistently make sure that we were fully aware of all of our options.
As we neared the end of the negotiating process, with the paperwork coming on thick and the deadlines coming in tight, the Talbots were very responsive and on top of the details and the proper order of operations. Paul, Jade and their team made this potentially stressful āclosingā process very smooth and I know, for a fact, that our side of the negotiating table came off as nothing short of completely professional, every step of the way.
I wonāt hesitate to recommend the Talbot team to any of my friends or family who need real estate services in the future.ā

This is the hallmark of really stellar companies. By listening to their advice we sold our home for more than we dreamed was possible. See the attached picture of the garage to studio conversion they helped us with. It's stunning! I've already recommended them to close friends who also love working with them.ā

āMy partner and I used Talbot Team (Jade & Paul) to sell our home, and upsize in the Bay Area and we couldn't have had a better experience. These two work super well together and compliment each other in the best ways. We "meshed" really well with them and it made an at times crazy and stressful process much easier. Jade is ON IT. She keeps the process and communication super organized and streamlined. Her eye for design was so valuable in the staging/property prep phase of selling our home. Paul has a real gift for managing the uncertainty and lack of sense making that is real estate (in my opinion) and his solid instinct was spot on in pivotal moments of our selling/buying journey. Highly recommend this wonderful team.ā

āJade and Paul are a complementary, communicative, and friendly duo who put you in a great position to purchase or sell a home in the East Bay.
Jade as responsive as they come--whether it's requests for disclosures, the lowdown on a particular property, or just her opinion on something, she's thoughtfully and rapidly responding. Paul is friendly, a design/space visionary, and always honest and direct with you.
Both Jade and Paul are patient, knowledgeable, and experienced agents who can help you manage what can be a frustrating, exciting, demoralizing, fun, and turbulent home-buying process.
My partner and I were extremely lucky to work with them and would 10/10 recommend them to any buyers or sellers in the East Bay!ā

āLet me begin to say that this review is long overdue. We sold our house with Jade & Paul last year and just bought our new home this last month. We have loved working with this amazing power couple and each brings their unique set of complementary skills.
When we sold our house in East Richmond Heights last year, Jade and Paul introduced us to their amazing network of contractors who helped us get our home ready in a little over a month. They were able to help us coordinate & complete all the projects that we werenāt able to accomplish ourselves in 5 years of living there. Jade and Paul were always available to chat through any questions or issues that arose through the process. We felt like we had a team with us the whole way to get us to the finish line (Jade and Paul even brought over additional staging items to help us since we decided to self-stage).
Without a doubt, we knew when we were ready to buy a home that we wanted to work with Paul & Jade again. Last month, we bought our new home and we are so thankful that we had the support & dedication from Jade and Paul to help us (they were helping during the closing of the house even while they were on vacation). Honestly, I feel like they always had our backs and tried to be there for us in literally any situation.
We are so thankful we met such wonderful people to help us through it all. Thank you Talbot team! I still cannot believe our home selling & buying journey has come to an end in less than a year!ā

āJade and Paul of the Talbot Team arenāt just great real estate agents, theyāre great people who truly care about their clients. They are passionate experts who will go the extra mile to help you find your dream home, make smart choices to improve the value of your future or current property, and navigate the complex Bay Area market to close the deal in a tough negotiation.
Jade and Paul are responsive, patient, and down to earth. From accommodating last-minute tours to providing quick replies to emails and texts, the Talbots helped our family navigate the competitive East Bay market with urgency and poise. They took the time to truly understand our familyās needs, right down to listening to our daughterās wish list for our new home, which meant all of their guidance and recommendations were aligned with our objectives. Their honest, straight-forward communication and measured approach was refreshing in an overheated market that can sometimes push buyers beyond their comfort zone. Jade and Paulās calm confidence made the entire buying process smooth and easy.
Between Jadeās expertise in design and Paulās knowledge of construction, the Talbot Team was able to provide a clear vision of the potential in each property we toured. Jade identified short-term and long-term updates that could improve each space for our needs and Paul pointed out trouble spots and future upgrades that might need to be factored into our budget and buying decision. Beyond design and construction, the Talbot Teamās connection to the local market was invaluable as we explored hidden gem neighborhoods in and around Oakland, and more importantly when they leveraged a connection with the sellerās agent to get our offer accepted.
If you're looking for real estate agents who are responsive, patient, caring, and experts in their field, then I highly recommend the Talbot Team. They're the perfect choice for anyone who wants a smooth and stress-free real estate experience.ā

āSome close friends recommended Jade and Paul, and we're so glad they did! From the beginning we felt they were truly in our corner to help us find the best house in our price range. They listened to what we were looking for, walked us through each step of the process, provided helpful suggestions, and used their deep knowledge to recommended some new neighborhoods we hadn't considered - funny enough, one of the neighborhoods they recommended is where we ended up buying. They were extremely patient with all of our questions (we were first time homebuyers so had LOTS of questions), and always responded quickly. We would highly recommend them, and if we decide to sell our house, will absolutely want to work with them again.ā

āJade and Paul came highly recommended by my sister's agent. They jumped right in and set up a time to meet and get to know us. They really listened to our wants and needs in a home and made thoughtful suggestions and recommendations. They were very responsive when we had questions or wanted to look at a property. They are super knowledgeable about the area and were honest and straightforward when reviewing potential properties. We loved working with Jade and Paul and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the East Bay.ā

āAfter our first meeting with Jade and Paul, we felt that they were the team to help us sell our property in San Leandro. They were both personable, prepared, and professional. Any negatives perceived by us were answered by them with solutions. We found that to be highly attractive (especially compared to other agents that we interviewed). Due to their expert marketing strategies, our property sold in two weeks with multiple offers! We were so impressed with them that we referred them to friends who are fielding offers now on their property. Jade and Paul are a dynamic team that yielded desired results for us! We highly recommend them! One final note, we are middle aged clients that fully trusted Jade and Paul because of their innovative and data driven strategies that paid off for us!ā

āOur experience with Jade, Paul and the Talbot team was seamless from beginning to end. In the spring, they coordinated the sale of our San Leandro home. Jade and Paul are a power couple who use their strengths in marketing, home sale preparation and client planning to buy and sale homes. They're local agents who have a pulse on the area and truly listen and advocate for their clients. From our first encounter, we were impressed by how well prepared they were with materials, visuals and even an anticipated timeline for our sell. What I loved about Jade and Paul was their enthusiasm when they walked through our home. They shared their vision that highlighted the things we loved most about our home and worked with us to showcase the beauty and warmth of our property. They were realistic about all aspects of the sale and walked us through every step of the process. They literally created a roadmap of the prep process and took our input to develop a plan that we were comfortable with. Even during the final, most stressful steps of the move, Jade and Paul made sure we were ok and checked in on us. They were easy to work with, extremely accessible, efficient, professional and overall, just good people.ā

āWe had such a great experience working with the Talbot team to sell our first home.
We loved how they showcased the "vintage" features of older homes, turning what some might see as quirks into charming selling points. After visiting a few of their open houses, we fell in love with their sophisticated style, which really made the homes shine.
Their experience and expertise were clear throughout the entire process. Everything was streamlined and organized, making it incredibly easy for us as first-time sellers. One thing we especially appreciated was how they helped us create a personalized owner's guide for the home and garden, which we presented at the open house. It was a thoughtful touch that really conveyed how much care weād put into the home, helping potential buyers connect with it emotionally.
On top of that, Jade and Paul are just a lovely couple to work with. Their warm, approachable personalities brought a sense of calm and reassurance during what can be a stressful time. Their ability to make both buyers and sellers feel at ease is a real asset.
We highly recommend the Talbot team!ā

āHoly cow! What a great experience! My partner and I worked long and hard to get to the point of being ready to buy our first home and after meeting Paul at an open house while we were narrowing down our wants before starting to seriously look, we were so impressed with Jade and Paul's preparation and knowledge of the new laws that we asked them to be our agents! Once we met with them when we were ready to fully jump in to THE SEARCH, we were impressed again, with their flexibility and knowledge of our preferred search area. It helps that they are local and care deeply about the community we wanted to move to!
With no pressure at all, Paul and Jade provided us with a few lenders they had good experiences working with, and we ended up connecting with a lender we loved (shout out again to Peter Barnes at Cross Country Mortgage!). Once we had our pre-approval in hand we were off and running!
Shockingly, after only a couple weeks of looking, we found a few homes to get more info on, and Paul helped us navigate the minefield that is looking for older homes in the Bay Area, all without any pressure or pretense. We opted not to put an offer in on the first house, but when we walked into our future home while visiting open houses on our own, we just knew it was going to be hard to let it go! Paul and Jade helped us navigate the disclosures, helped us land on a strong, pre-emptive offer, and helped us secure an accepted offer, even thought it WASN'T the highest offer. While a great letter to the seller likely helped, Paul's work with the selling agent and his connection with our lender, helped us land a home we love in a community we absolutely ADORE!
Even after we closed in a very short 21 days, and even through the crazy holiday season, Paul and Jade have been there with us every step of the way, even lending us their truck to pick up a wood chipper, a full month after we closed! Even now, we know they have our back and our community's back, and that they are on this journey with us for the long haul. We could not be happier with our experience with them and how smoothly we got through the entire process. THANK YOU PAUL AND JADE!!!ā

āWe were so fortunate to work with the amazing Talbot Team (Jade, Paul, and Katie) on our recent home purchase in Oakland. We were initially introduced to Jade years ago when we were just starting to explore a move from Redwood City. Even though the timing wasn't right then, they were incredibly patient and helpful, always keeping our goals in mind.
When we were finally ready to make the move, we saw a Talbot Team sign at an open house and it felt like fate! They connected us with Katie, who was instrumental in helping us refine our needs, understand the market, and even explore new neighborhoods like Sheffield Village that we hadn't considered before.
The entire team was with us every step of the way, from finding a fantastic mortgage lender to crafting a winning offer that got accepted on the first try! Their kindness, support, and genuine enthusiasm for helping us find our home made all the difference. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would wholeheartedly recommend the Talbot Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Oakland.ā

āWe met Jade and Paul when they were the sellerās agent of the first home we purchased. They did such a good job getting such a good offer from us, we thought ādang we want them on our team.ā We stayed in touch with Jade and Paul while we dove into the joys (and tribulations) of new homeownership. They were kind enough to make recommendations along the way of ways to add value to our home without spending too much in areas that wouldnāt make much difference when we decide to sell. A few years later, we saw an absolutely beautiful home that we adored and decided to make the leap to upgrade. We worked with Jade and Paul to simultaneously purchase the new home and sell our first home. With the second home purchase, Paul was a superstar in understanding the sellers and sellers agent and helped us beat out an all cash offer even though we were a financed offer! When prepping our first home to sell, Jade was clear about how to best prep the house and worked with us on areas we could DIY to save some money. She even helped landscape to present the property in the best light and was incredible with managing all the inspection appointments. Weāre now on 3 home purchases or sales with Jade and Paul within 4 years time and even recommended our sister to work with them to purchase a home not too far from us. That should speak for itself with how much we enjoyed working with Jade and Paul!ā

āExcellent Experience with Jade and Paul of the Talbot Team!
We had an outstanding experience working with Jade and Paul from the Talbot Team at Compass to find and purchase our new home. They are truly exceptional realtors, and we highly recommend them.
From the start, they were incredibly responsiveāalways quick to answer calls, texts, and emails, which was vital in todayās fast-moving market. Their knowledge was immediately apparent, not just of the general buying process, but specifically of the local market. We often visited open houses on our own, and it was a clear testament to their reputation that the listing agent often already knew and respected Jade or Paul.
Their expertise truly shined when we found the house we wanted. They had deep, specific knowledge of that particular development, which they expertly shared with us. This insight was invaluable and helped us feel confident in every step of the negotiation and purchasing process.
Jade and Paul were also wonderful about working within our financial goals; they worked to our budget and all our other objectives as first-time homebuyers.
When it came time to move quickly, they were phenomenal. They provided us with excellent references and recommendations for mortgage lenders and other service providers, which streamlined the entire process. Their support allowed us to submit a rapid offer and manage a quick close process to secure the home we truly wanted.
Beyond their professionalism, Jade and Paul are simply lovely, friendly people who made a stressful process feel supported and enjoyable. Paul in particular was so calm and patient which we really appreciated. If you want knowledgeable, responsive, and effective realtors who will help you achieve your goals, choose the Talbot Team.ā

We are proud to call them friends! Highly Recommend.ā

āWe sold our Oakland home in Dec 2020 with jade and paul and couldn't have been happier with the experience. That's not an overstatement. We have two young kids and I needed to keep working even while we were going through the big process of listing and selling out home. Additionally, we needed the money from the sale of our current home to purchase our new home. Jade and paul took all of that onto account and then recommended what turned out to be a perfect solution for us; we listed out home off market, just among other agents. Jade came over and (in a covid safe way) made recommendations of what tweaks we should make to our home decor and layout. She has great eye; it looked so much better after we implemented her advice! But other than those smal changes we didn't have to do anything; no staging, no moving out. We had only four showings and two of them made offers. So there was very minimal disruption to our crazy lives. We got more than we were asking for (and Paul and Jade had predicted we would and encouraged us to shoot for) and the buyers agreed to our request of a two month rent back. This last part was key as it gave us time to find a new home in southern CA. We couldn't have done any of this without Paul and Jade's expert help. On top of all that, they have continued to be a resource to us as we've looked for our new home. Theyre not officially out agents anymore, but they're such good people and love this work so much, that they continue to be a source of guidance. Seriously if you're looking to buy or sell a home in the east bay, work with these guys!ā

āWe couldn't have asked for better realtors than Paul and Jade! They were incredibly communicative, helpful, and knowledgeable in guiding us through buying our first house. Our very first offer was accepted! We moved into a perfect home within 5 weeks of meeting Jade--in the beginning of a global pandemic, no less. The whole process was magically smooth. We were very lucky to have found them and give them our highest recommendation!ā

āWe reached out to Paul and Jade when we were interested in selling our home in East Richmond Heights. We had previously been working with a different realtor but felt that their communication and marketing strategies were lacking.
Working with the Talbot team was a breath of fresh air. They are attentive and happy to answer all questions which was especially helpful for us since it was our first time selling a house. Their marketing strategies are current and specialize in digital/social tactics which is so important in the current real estate market.
I would highly recommend Jade and Paul to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. They go above and beyond for their clients. Most importantly, they are great people that are interested in spreading positivity and doing business the right way.ā

āWe started on this most recent journey after watching their seller's webinar and having just found out we were expecting, decided to see if we could make the move in this crazy market. After previously working with Paul to buy our first home in 2018, we were excited to work with him again, but having both Paul and Jade on our team, I couldn't ask for anything more! These two seriously went above and beyond in helping us get our first home on the market, they came over for a walk-thru to help us come up with a punch list of upgrades so we could get the best ROI that would help us purchase the second home. With a tight deadline and a tight budget, we did quite a bit of DIY but they helped us find the best contractors to help with the upgrades beyond our ability, and also picked out pieces that would give our home the edge it needed to sell quickly. Jade helped stay on top of the contractors, and came over several times to map out the projects with them and keep them on schedule. Thanks to their genius marketing plan, our home sold quickly and we were able to start looking for our new home!
We ended up driving past a Compass "Coming Soon" listing in a neighborhood we were interested in, and they jumped on it quickly so that we could be one of the first parties to see it before it came on the market. We offered a competitive price, and were quickly accepted and in escrow for our new home within a week of closing on the old home. Paul and Jade were in constant communication with us the entire process, about 4 months start to finish, and I don't think we could've asked for a better team to guide us through the complicated real estate market, during COVID no less!ā

āWe were introduced to Jade and Paul Tablot by eye-catching marketing collateral that highlighted their flair for contemporary interior design and staging. That said, we had a good feeling from the jump.
From the initial meeting in 2021, they did not disappoint. Jade and Paul toured our home in San Leandro. They were very complimentary while provided some guidance of how we could upgrade our bonus room when the time came to sell. They even introduced us to one of their contractors who did fantastic work and was within budget. After the remodel, they continued to check in with us but never made us feel pressured to sell.
When we did finally pull the trigger in 2022, Jade and Paul talked through the process, answered our questions and even provided a very detailed 'punch-list' of tasks to complete before selling. On such a tight timeline, it helped us stay on task and get our home on the market in less than two weeks. *Insert mind-blown emoji*
Throughout the entire process, Jade and Paul were communicative, easy to work with and very knowledgeable. We'd give the overall experience a 10/10 and would be happy to recommend their services to any potential seller.ā

āJade and Paul were great to work with, and as they guided us through our first time home buying experience. It was clear from the first conversation we had with them that they had a wealth of knowledge and were very personable and transparent, which helped alleviate anxiety as we jumped into this process. They were always responsive and took the necessary time to answer all our questions (which was a ton), and understood our needs and what we were looking for. It was helpful going on multiple tours with them to compare houses and narrow down what was truly important to us. They also have a lot of experience flipping houses, and even though we didn't want to do much work, they were able to advise us in what would be practical, what types of things could add value, and what would be too much for us to take on. When we found the house we wanted, the process to make an offer and go through escrow to closing was overall smooth a s easier than expected. They were proactive and organized, which helped keep everything in motion. We're now one month in to our new home and couldn't be happier. Thanks Jade & Paul!ā

āI can't say enough good things about working with Jade and Paul. I met Paul during a volunteer parent workday at our kids' preschool and he seemed like a real lovely, committed, and generous guy. So when we decided to move, I figured I'd take a meeting. And I'm so glad I did! I've worked with a few realtors over the last decade and I always felt I was being manipulated or ignored or that they just really didn't know what they were doing. Jade and Paul, maybe because they're young, tech savvy, and not yet bored and jaded, were just amazing. They knew everything, from the financing to the inspections to what upgrades to prioritize and why. It was just great. So great. We'll definitely miss you guysā

āJade and Paul did an outstanding job selling my house in San Leandro (closed today!). I spoke with several realtors before deciding I wanted to work with the Talbots. I liked getting a husband/wife team (two for one!), they understood my market, attributes of my home, and put together a great marketing plan...brilliant photos, video and drone footage, arranged excellent staging, and stayed on top of the details involved in getting my house to market. When the offers came in, Jade and Paul were VERY skillful in negotiating a sale price well above any obvious comps.
I've worked with other realtors (selling and buying for investment) - Jade and Paul are unique. They listened to my concerns. It was a collaborative process. There were issues around pricing, staging, timing where we didn't initially agree. Ultimately, I deferred to their experience and wisdom on most issues and am very pleased that I did. I know the market is hot and ANY realtor could have sold my house...it just wouldn't have been for as much as Jade and Paul sold it for!!
I'm a difficult client and generally cynical about realtors. The Talbots are exceptional! I am so grateful for their professionalism. It was obvious throughout the process that they had my back. Highly reccommended.ā

āPaul and Jade were absolutely indispensable in buying our first home! My wife and I have lived in Oakland for more than two decades as renters and could not have been more ignorant of how the real estate industry worked. We also did not have as much money to spend as most buyers in the East Bay these days, but every step of the way, the Talbot Team was patient, honest, responsive, knowledgable, and just super nice human beings.
Paul always walked us through details in simple terms, making sure no decisions were made until we understood and were comfortable with everything. The man really knows his trade. After months of looking, we realized that every prediction and piece of advice Paul gave was almost perfectly spot on. I swear, by the end, we just started saying, "Paul's always right."
A month into looking, we had an offer on a house get accepted but luckily the Talbots put the right contingencies in place so we found out there were some huge problems with the house before we finalized the deal. That's regular, competent real estate agent stuff, sure. What impressed me was, Paul could have easily tried to talk us into buying that house, collected his commission, and moved on. Instead, Paul said, "Don't buy this house. You could afford this, you could do the work, but with your schedules and lifestyle, it will just stress you out. You won't be happy here. We should keep looking." I already knew we were going to walk away from that house, but going forward we trusted the Talbots implicitly, which is no easy thing when you're putting your life savings on the line.
The circumstances of buying our actual house are too weird and complicated to explain here, but the seller didn't accept our offer and was prepared to put the house back on the market. We were disillusioned, frustrated, and ready to quit and just move out of the Bay Area. I still don't know exactly what magic Paul was working behind the scenes with the seller and their agent, but he called me the next day with a counter-offer that was WELL BELOW what the seller could get by going back on the market. We moved in 3 weeks ago, absolutely love our new home (I now see all of those other houses didn't work out because they weren't our house - this is our house), and not only did the Talbots get us it at a price we could afford, but I honestly think we would not have got any house in Oakland if not for them.
Listen to Paul. He's always right.ā

āI can't recommend The Talbot Team, Jade, Paul, and their team, highly enough. As a first-time seller I was, of course, apprehensive about the process of selling my home, especially in a market as hot as the one now.
They are organized, informative, focused, and most helpful. When there was something that needed to be done, Jade & Paul were as clear as can be about what, how, and when to do it.
I chose to self-stage my home, but Jade & Paul helped with everything from stringing cafƩ lights in the backyard, providing some additional staging props and, most importantly, guiding me through the offers process.
I only wish I were in the market to buy a home - I would engage the Talbot Team in a heartbeat - but, alas, I have retired to Italy.
I highly recommend working with Jade & Paul; you won't regret it.ā

āWe found the Talbot Team when looking at a property they were selling in Richmond, CA. After our first call, I knew I didn't need to look any further for a Realtor team. Jade and Paul were very responsive and had a ton of resources for first time home buyers. They also made the loan and home insurance process seamless. Paul was down to walk through disclosures and Jane always gave me the 411 on houses I was interested in. I trusted their knowledge and expertise throughout the process. They also kept it real with me and I knew what to start looking for in this crazy market. I bought a house with some potential and I was able to in-vision it when we walked through it together.
I honestly appreciate them working with us and I look forward to our partnership going forward! Thanks to everyone on the Talbot Team!ā

āWhen my wife Karen and I first dipped our toes into the deep, dark abyss that is the Bay Area housing market we were naive, like young animals in the spring, unaware of the dangers that lurk around (seemingly) every corner.
Little did we know that the realtors who we had engaged would be like shepherds for sheep who would guide us through every intricacy of the process and consistently make sure that we were fully aware of all of our options.
As we neared the end of the negotiating process, with the paperwork coming on thick and the deadlines coming in tight, the Talbots were very responsive and on top of the details and the proper order of operations. Paul, Jade and their team made this potentially stressful "closing" process very smooth and I know, for a fact, that our side of the negotiating table came off as nothing short of completely professional, every step of the way.
I won't hesitate to recommend the Talbot team to any of my friends or family who need real estate services in the future.ā

- Guided Me When Running Into Obstacles:
No home buying journey is without its obstacles, but Jade and Paul were there every step of the way to guide me through any difficulties that arose. Their extensive knowledge and experience in the real estate market proved invaluable in helping me overcome any challenges we encountered.
- Great Advocates in Finding My Dream Home:
