Testimonials...
Zach - 1/1/2021
"Michael helped us in 2019 sell our condo which he helped us buy in 2015. In the midst of a pandemic, Michael helped make the sale of our condo a tremendous success. With his support & guidance, we went from completely overwhelmed by the prospect to closing within 10 days of being on the market at a price we felt good about. He helped us overcome the soft pandemic market through thoughtful small investments & excellent staging, amongst other support. Cannot recommend him highly enough!"

"Michael Braillard has been my go to agent since 2014! It is really fun looking at houses with Michael because of his knowledge of architecture and his keen eye for design; he can reimagine a room or house on the spot that matches your preferences and style. He is a true professional: knowledgable, responsive, a great communicator, honest, and experienced. I have bought three properties with Michael as my agent and whether it was my first home or my third, he always spends a lot of time understanding what I am looking for within my budget, walking me through all of details of what to look for when visiting properties, and educating me every step of the way. I highly recommend hiring Michael as your agent if you are buying or selling property in the East Bay."

"Yes, it's true...Michael is an amazing realtor. I've worked with him twice, buying a home in Oakland and selling a home. He was always available for questions and responded thoughtfully to any query I had. Professional and trustworthy, buying or selling a home is a major consideration and I'm really glad Michael Braillard was my agent."

"I worked with both Michael Braillard and Shalene Rose Dunlap on the sale, AND eventual purchase of my new home.
From the start, both Michael and Shalene were very professional in their demeanor, transparency of expectation and results and overall timeline of setting my place up for sale. Both were always available to provide updates, well-informed opinions and analysis of the current market and recommendations on local vendors. Up until the eventual listing of my property, Michael and Shalene completely managed the redesign and upkeep of my apartment, and had it ready to show in less than a week!
Anyone looking for two top notch real-estate professionals should call Michael and Shalene directly. I've never had an easier and smoother process in my real estate dealings."

"Michael Braillard and Shalene Rose handled the sale of our condo in Oakland. After dealing with a couple of real estate agents that felt like sleazy sales people I found Shalene on Yelp.
After pinging Shalene over email, the very next day her and Michael were at our place to discuss why we were selling, and where we were headed. I immediately felt more comfortable with them than the prior agents. They are really friendly, intelligent, no egos, and what I can only describe as 'normal' compared to a lot of look-a-like agents that might as well be local newscast team members who decided to go into real estate.
After a pretty thorough discussion of our preferences and timing they came up with a great strategy to sell the condo given our timeline, and after that it was smooth sailing.
Michael made several suggestions on minor improvements, due to his great sense for decor, that I think really helped make our condo stand out among the comparables on the market at the time. Throughout the process, from the open houses to closing on our sale, communication with both of them was great, and I think we achieved a really good outcome.
If you are looking for a great real estate team in the Oakland/Berkeley area definitely give Michael and Shalene a call before considering other real estate agent look a likes."

"Michael Braillard helped us buy and sell a home. He is very knowledgeable and professional. We had a great experience working with him. He returned our phone calls promptly and got answers when we wanted them. We would highly recommend working with Caldecott and we look forward to working with him in the future."
Tina - 5/24/2013
"Michael Braillard is easily the best agent in the Bay Area. I interviewed him and 2 other agents and worked with a third other agent when Mike was on vacation. None of them compare to his abilities as far as knowledge of the market and industry, friendliness, openness, and most importantly service.
With each place I was shown he brought information about recent comp sales, knowledge about the area, and insight into positives and negatives to consider. He's very responsive to questions about the process of purchasing and very open to discussing all the steps. He always returned my calls or emails promptly (and by promptly I mean he usually got back to me within a couple hours, sometimes in a couple minutes, and no more than 24 hours at most).
Smart, funny, friendly, great connections, knowledgable, patient, responsive. He's basically everything that I wanted in an agent."

"Michael Braillard helped me buy my house in Oakland, and then turn around and sell it only 2 years later after I had to relocate my family to Sacramento on short notice for work. I was so busy, finding a new school and home, I didn't have any time to devote to the sale. But it didn't matter, Michael took care of every single detail! I completely relied on Michael and his team to make most of the decisions related to the sale. He is a skilled negotiator, and has a totally unflappable demeanor, and was great at keeping me updated as the process moved along. I would absolutely use him again if the opportunity were to arise."
Christina - 1/29/2017
"I just wanted to let you both know how much I really appreciated all the work you did to get the house ready for market and how well you marketed it, as it sold so quickly. I also really appreciated your knowledge and your kind and friendly demeanor throughout the whole process. Thank you very much."
