We worked with Charlie to prepare our family home of 30 years in Oakland for sale in the fall of 2024. He worked side by side with contractors, painters, stagers and inspectors. He always kept our best interest at heart. Recommendations on work to be done were always mindful of budget and esthetics. He monitored the progress of the listing preparation daily and reported accordingly. The home turned out beautifully and was well received by prospective buyers and agents touring the property. In the end, we received an over-asking offer that worked well for us. During the escrow period, Charlie kept us informed and offered timelines for us to understand this otherwise confusing and sometimes overwhelming process. Charlie has extensive knowledge of the East Bay market and excellent reputation amongst his peers. Even during a tricky holiday schedule and impending election, he got us the price…

I was in a tough situation because my brother passed away and lived in a house an hour away from me in an area of Oakland that I was unfamiliar with, Montclair. Knowing that I needed a realtor who knew how real estate worked in the East Bay, Oakland-Berkeley area in particular, I did an extensive investigation of realtors who were knowledgeable about Oakland-Berkeley real estate and found Charlie Cook. Charlie had many outstanding reviews, and he really lived up to those reviews. Charlie is an awesome realtor to work with. He created a plan for my brother's house that would attract many buyers from the East Bay. He was completely hands-on in removing the various stuff that my sibling had collected for 20 years. He then conducted extensive comps that would help position my sibling's house in the current Oakland and Berkeley market and helped to nail down the right price for the house. He …

He also had chosen an excellent Title Company that worked with me remotely. As a result, selling and closing on the house was done very quickly with very little effort on my part, thanks to Charlie's great execution as a realtor. The last thing I want to mention is that Charlie was great at communication and explaining to me the details and timing of real estate transactions. This was important and really helped me out during this time.
