"Selling a longtime family home is never easy but after our dad passed away my mom was ready to downsize. Jeff was instrumental in the sale of our old house but was also so helpful in the purchase of a new beautiful but manageable home for Mom. After living in a home for 50 years and raising a family our house was loaded with all the mementos accumulated along the way and in need of refreshing. Jeff's contacts in the industry and deep experience proved vital in preparing the house for market and helping our family cope with the overwhelming process. He was there to answer every question and meet with every prospective contractor from painters to stagers. And he has a large file of professionals who offer such services. We were also very pleased with the Compass Concierge program in which the realty actually arranges for these contractors to be paid from escrow proceeds thereby minimizing cash outlay for the work you will likely need to do to prepare your home for sale. When the time was right to list and show, Jeff led the process expertly and efficiently and the house sold in a matter of days. I would highly recommend Jeff Goodman as your real estate seller or buyer's agent!" - Rob D.

"I highly recommend Jeff when selling your property. After showing the property three times Jeff brought several offers and I accepted an all cash offer. I live out of state and Jeff answered every phone call and assisted when I was unable to be at the property. He is extremely knowledgeable and did everything he said he would do. Jeff is professional and will find a buyer who will offer a fair price. I would defiantly list with Jeff. When purchasing a home Jeff would be my first choice." - Denise J.

"When my mother passed away in 2014 she left two houses to me to sell the two properties. I was overwhelmed by the task at hand but remembered that Jeff was an experienced Alameda realtor. The first phone call I made to him proved him to be sympathetic, efficient and took most of the details. Trying to sell two homes located next-door to each other was a daunting task. Jeff recommended, after much discussion, to keep the rental and sell the residence since it would take a while to empty the residence. He had the names and phone numbers of the necessary contacts to help with the numerous tasks to prepare the home for sale. After a few bumps in the road, there were 4 offers which resulted in about two months of negotiations but after that the house was sold for very near the asking price. Three years later, having moved to Santa Rosa, I decided to sell the rental. From the first phone call to Jeff to the final signatures took all of two months. Jeff knows all the legal issues, has the humility to ask for help as needed and, as a lifelong resident of Alameda knew people who could expedite the process. The sale wrapped up while I was delayed in Washington state so the final papers were all signed electronically. The young couple and family who purchased the house wanted the home so much that they paid over the asking price. The entire process from listing to closing was about a month. Anyone who wants a knowledgeable,personable, honest and intelligent realtor in Alameda and the entire Bay Area should make the call to Jeff Goodman!!!" - Carol D.

"Great, reliable and professional agent. Jeff is efficient and gets the job done! He was able to help us sell our house in 2 weeks over asking and made the process at ease. Buying and selling a house can be stressful and he made it such an easy process. I highly recommend Jeff for any real estate need." - Jecina N.

"I have known Jeff and his family for years through our family members. When we move into the area he is our go to professional due his dedication to the community and knowledge of the area. No question." - Don R.

★★★★★
"I was referred to Jeff by my real estate attorney. I had a property with a complex title issue and had difficulty with my previous realtor who refused to comply with my attorney's instructions regarding the title. Jeff has a history of working with difficult estate problems and my attorney felt he was the best person for the job. My property was well outside of Jeff's normal service area, but he happily accommodated me. Jeff was fully aware of the problems with the title and was unintimidated by them. This was a refreshing change from my experience with my prior realtor - Jeff was highly confident and this comes from his wealth of experience. Jeff was the consummate professional - highly organized, did everything on time and according to schedule, and answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns in a timely manner. He sold my property during the off season at a price that I was happy with. I am grateful for Jeff's efforts and recommend him wholeheartedly." - Julie W.
