Kristi Roberts

Kristi helped us buy a perfect house in our ideal neighborhood at a price we could afford. She was patient with us — we were looking for over 6 months — and helped us put together multiple offers over that time. She kept at it even when we were consistently overbid and kept encouraging us to try on any place we were interested in. I thought for sure she would give up on us, as we really couldn’t put down the crazy prices in the East Bay that everyone is paying right now. But she kept with us and in the end, we got the perfect house at a price we could afford.
She was unbelievably helpful and thoughtful as we went through the excruciating closing process, and kept on all the parties to make sure everything went through in the end. We owe her our house! But all we can give her is a good Unilocal review :P

Without Kristi, we would never have found a home in Berkeley!
She was extremely open and communicative during the entire process of house-​hunting and purchasing, giving us very sound advice on in a market where we were routinely outbid by 20% or more.
Kristi is very responsive, quickly answering questions and arranging for showings of places we were interested in. When we finally did have a bid accepted – on her recommendation, we wrote a letter that swayed the sellers – she was able to guide us through what turned out to be a very difficult mortgage process. She was terrific, calmly advising us on next steps and keeping lines of communication open with the sellers while the bank and title companies made errors which greatly delayed the sale. My wife and I would never have been able to make it to closing without her.
I can’t recommend her services enough!

We hired Kristi to sell our North Oakland home and we are so happy we did.
She is open, honest, resourceful and an ease to work with.
This was the first time we sold a house and she guided us through the whole process from preparing our home to the final sale. Not only does she know the East Bay real estate market, she has a great personality which made working with a sheer delight. And her resources are fantastic (we are hiring them for other jobs)! We have also referred her to our mom who is now using her to buy a house.
Be sure to call her for an interview. You’ll see for yourselves what we mean!

Working with Kristi was a great experience. She was able to provide sound, realistic, advice. She was very proactive in our week to week process of exploring new listings. I really feel like we worked together as a team to overcome many obstacles when I finally found the home I wanted. This was my 3^rd home purchase and while it was the hardest due to the competition in the market, she helped me bring in the terms I needed to make it happen.
Thank you!

I have never experienced a realtor as ethical, competent, efficient or knowledgeable as Kristi. Through a protracted sales process, made more complicated due to my heavy work/​travel schedule, and other extenuating circumstances on the seller’s side, Kristi represented my interests with grace, professionalism and full transparency. She met with inspectors, contractors, windows guys, pest inspectors, and remet, and remet. She went above and beyond any service provider. Thanks to her hard work and diligence, we closed a difficult deal. I would highly recommend her to any buyer or seller, and will use her for all of my real estate needs. You will not find a harder worker than Kristi who respects her trader and profession and your needs, resources, and family.

you’re the greatest !!!

Over the years I have purchased 5 homes and sold 4. Kristi Roberts is, hands down, the BEST realtor I have ever worked with. (And I’ve worked with some really terrific ones too.) She really listens, she never pushes – doesn’t even nudge!, she is scrupulously ethical, and works so hard! She’s also really well informed about the areas she works in; I have learned so much from Kristi. To cap it off, she’s just delightful to work with! I have been working with Kristi for well over a year to find a new home in the East Bay, after relocating from the North Bay. She has been so patient and diligent, and thanks to her exceptional efforts, I just moved into my perfect, perfect new home in a fabulous neighborhood! Did I mention she’s the BEST? (It bears repeating.)

We decided to look at homes in the East Bay, and drove by the first house that we saw on
. We decided to call the office listed on the sign, and Kristi Roberts picked up. She came down to meet us and show us the house. We hated the first house, but Kristi said she would go with us to see the next couple of houses on our list – and it was sealed! She was our new realtor. We got outbid on two houses during the long 5 month process, but we finally found our dream home.
Through the process, Kristi was wonderful. She was always on the look out for us. She would send updates after her broker’s tours and worked countless hours helping us find the perfect house. We are very particular, so she had her work cut out for her. But, she was really great!
When we were outbid, she was just as disappointed and helped boost our morale each time. Kristi knows the area very well and works incredibly hard for her clients.
Thanks Kristi for your help — we love our new home!

Thanks to Kristi I landed a spectacular condo! Her endless and tireless touring of homes/​condos on my behalf landed me an absolute jewel. She has a particular gift at truly knowing her client’s taste and style. Not once during the period we worked together did I ever feel our time spent touring properties had been a waste of time.

We found out about Kristi’s services through a family member of ours. Kristi had helped Valerie obtain a great deal on a Piedmont Area condo in Oakland. She was a fabulous rep for Valerie’s interests.
Now she is representing us as sellers. She has already obtained estimates for painting, for gardening, and for stagers. She has gone shopping on our behalf. And she is gingerly prodding us to stay on schedule. She is incredibly ethical, advising us of all the pros and cons of going with certain professionals. And all that without even having a signed contract with us yet. Now that’s dedication.
I’ll update this as we continue our qest to sell our historic Alameda home.
