"If you are looking for the best Real Estate Agent in the Bay Area, look no further. Kimberly Gates is an amazing agent that is responsive to the needs of her clients, offers expert advice, provided consistent communication and most importantly, exceeded my previous experience selling and buying six previous homes. The sale of my parents home in East Oakland was made even more challenging during covid restrictions that impacted the scheduling of repairs and upgrades. Her "hands" on level of professionalism and team of contractors made all the difference in the world. The work was completed timely and our budget to prepare our home for sale came under budget. Ultimately, we had ten offers for our home and sold for much more than the listing price. I would recommend Kimberly to friends and family without reservation. She simply is the best real estate agent that I have had the pleasure to work with." - Daniel Navarrette
"My wife and I first met Kimberly Gates at an open house where she was the listing agent. We chose Kimberley because she is the ultimate professional. From day one until we closed escrow she was at our side. She responded to every phone call, text and email promptly and professionally. I wouldn’t look anywhere else for my next Realtor. I would recommend Kimberly to any family member or friend in the market for a new home." - yonas tg

"Kimberly Gates is the BEST realtor I could have asked for! My sister recommended her to me for the sale of my home in East Oakland. My partner and I were getting divorced and Kimberly really worked hard to make the sale of our home go super smoothly. It was a tricky situation which she navigated flawlessly. She kept my Ex and I on track and under budget with our home improvements. Quite frankly, this alone was an astounding feat! Kimberly worked her magic with all the vendors we had fixing up our home. She managed them flawlessly and helped us achieve our goals in record time. She was always there when we needed her. She walked us through EVERY step of the process with such elegance and professionalism, I never doubted that we would lose money on our sale. Kimberly was my biggest cheerleader when I was near exhaustion cleaning out the house. I honestly could not have done it without her. She helped us sell our house for WAY WAY over the asking price. We ended up with over 40 offers that overwhelmed us in the most wonderful way! She will be helping me find my new forever home soon. I know I’m in good hands. Thank You Thank You Thank You Kimberly!" - ubergoober29
"We wish to express our deepest satisfaction after working with Kimberly Gates as our Realtor for the purchase of our property in Berkeley. Kimberly was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, kind and accessible during the entire process of searching for the property through the actual purchase. She provided patient confidence and attention to detail as we moved through the offer process, which was challenging due to the Berkeley market at that time. We were very pleased with the outcome of our purchase and we would definitely work with Kimberly again when we sell or purchase our next property." - lreutter
