"We worked with Katie as first-time home buyers (during a pandemic!). She was fantastic. Katie took the time to really understand what we were looking for and helped us balance our aspirations with the reality of our finances and the market in the East Bay. She's a great listener and helped us hone our search through several months. When it was time to get serious about a property Katie walked us through every step, was extremely thorough, communicative, and kept us feeling positive throughout the process. I can't recommend Katie (and Paul!) enough. Talbot Team is honest, ethical, and committed to their clients. " - Jennifer

"Katie 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. Katie’s knowledge of the local market is so thorough; she’s 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. " - Jake

"I worked with Katie to purchase my first home and she is awesome. She made sure I understood what the realities of the market, and what the strategies were depending on how I wanted to approach it. I was empowered with all the tools I needed to make a decision and take calculated risks that ultimately landed me my first home. During the entire process Katie was accessible, always had time and made time for my questions, and never once made me feel pressured to make an offer. Katie is also a lot of fun to work with. I totally enjoyed all of the tours we did. She has a good sense of humor and gives you space when you're exploring to check out and feel out the place on your own. I always appreciated that she wasn't "giving me the tour" because that starts to feel very sales- like versus her approach, which is much more personal and low key. Making a decisions about your house is already stressful enough. She is also super professional, made sure to connect with place I wanted to see, and worked with my lender to ensure I had a smooth escrow. While I was good to go on lending, insurance, etc., she had references for all, but again never pressured me to go one way or another. Her team also put together a really helpful first time homebuyer seminar, which helped me kickstart my home buying journey and conversation with her about what I was looking for, and she and her team were great to work with the entire way through. Again, she is awesome. Definitely the person you want on your team during the crazy bay area home buying journey. " - Stephanie

“I had a great experience with Katie as a first time home buyer. Katie demonstrated exceptional home market knowledge, supportive and incredibly communicative. For example, Katie promptly answered calls and texts, and kept me informed about every development. Katie has a teaching background, which significantly helped me understand complex contract details in an easier way. Katie and I come from different cultural backgrounds but she was understanding to find homes with my family’s needs. I am appreciative of Katie’s negotiation skills securing a great house offer and highly recommend Katie and Tabolt team.“ - Tenzin Nyidon

“We were so fortunate to work with the amazing Talbot Team (Katie, Jade, Paul) on our recent home purchase in Oakland. We were initially introduced to them 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 dream 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.“ -Joseph Vandenorth

“We worked with Katie Hennessey of the Talbot Team last year. She helped us sell our existing house and buy a new house! She was fantastic on both ends of the process. She was always accessible when we had questions, attentive to our priorities, and made great suggestions. In terms of selling, she was spot on in analyzing the market and determining what we needed to do to prepare our house. She and her team also stayed within our budget for the prep work and in just a few weeks our house was ready to go and looked super charming for prospective buyers. We got a great price and found the perfect buyer. We would highly recommend her and the Talbot team to anyone looking for an agent. “ - Ann Magovern
