Roberta Abel – HIGHLAND PARTNERS BH&G Mason McDuffie

Roberta recently helped my husband and I purchase our very first home. Being first-​time homebuyers it was great having Roberta on our side, helping us navigate through the process and find not just any home, but the right home. Roberta is a truly warm, caring person, and seems to genuinely care about her clients. One thing we appreciated about Roberta was that she never pushed– and in fact at one point even had us step back and think about whether we really wanted to purchase a house or if we would be better off waiting and saving some more money for a down payment. We ended up knocking our budget down a little so that we could be more competitive in the multiple bid situations we found ourselves in and ended up with a house that’s perfect for us.
If you are looking for someone who will treat you like a member of her family, with warmth and honesty, and never push you to make a decision just because it will benefit her own bottom line, Roberta is the agent for you.

I bought my last house from her over three years ago, but Roberta continues to be a wonderful support to me. She has helped me and friends and relatives as we try to figure out next moves (if any) in this tempting (to buy) but confounding market. She’s a great resource and very knowledgeable about Bay Area real estate and the economy.

My husband, John, and I decided to start searching for our first home in January of 2008, and wanted a real estate agent that would work with us for the long haul. We knew the process would be both exciting and arduous, so when John met Roberta at the Oakland Farmers’ Market, we knew she was the right person for the job. Her support, candor, and professionalism were bolstered by a welcome sense of humor, and keen ability to listen and respond to our concerns. When we found what is now our lovely family home in El Cerrito, Roberta was a fantastic guide through the process, teaching us what we needed to know, and going to bat for us when the time came. She was so dedicated to us and the process, we’re happy and honored to recommend that you choose Roberta Abel to be your next real estate agent.
