Dear Nora & Saed, I just want to thank you for all your help in selling my home by Lake Merritt. You helped me to clean out the remaining items in my house, clean it up, and arrange the property for sale. You helped me with all of the paperwork involved, and did it cheerfully. You reassured me in every step of what was a difficult process for me since I had lived in that house for over 60 years. I most certainly would recommend you to anyone who needs help in selling a house. I consider you both my friends and hope to keep in touch with you in the future. Again, thank you for all the help.'

'My partner and discovered Nora and Saed about 15 years ago when we wished to sell one of the condominiums in your project. We came to appreciate and value their sense of the housing market and their advice about how to approach selling the condo as efficiently as possible. Our first experience was both satisfying and rewarding in a transaction that met our hopes and exceeded our expectations. As a result, we returned to them repeatedly over the ensuing years until we concluded this year with the sale of the final two units we owned. Each time we enjoyed the personal relationship and relied on their judgement and attentive involvement in offering remodeling ideas and resources. We also were made comfortable relying on their professional expertise in the marketing aspects of the transaction and their absolute integrity at every step that anticipated the kinds of glitches that can mar smooth progress toward closing a sale. They insist on full-disclosure and transparency with buyers and their agents so there are no unhappy surprises along the way, and this provides confidence and comfort that are fundamental to a successful deal. They are easy to communicate with and eager to be of service broadly beyond the details of getting the property sold. If you ever have questions or wish to learn more details beyond this relatively brief description, please don't hesitate to ask me.'

‘In the past decade, Nora and Saed Moakher, realtors extraordinaires, have represented my family and I in multiple successful real estate transactions in Oakland and San Francisco. They are consummate professionals and we greatly appreciate their counsel and dedications.’

‘Nora was able to take control of the sale of my condo quickly and efficiently. I live out of the area, so we spoke on the phone and before I knew it, she had the place staged and listed. after one weekend of open houses, she had exceptional offers in hand. Her work with me on all the documentation and signatures was seamless. I can't even believe how wonderful she made the process!’

- A Jackobs

‘Thank you for the wonderful news (property recording)! We are grateful to both you both for navigating us through this process with patience and kindness. We know that the pandemic complicated our plans, but we could not have found better stewards for our house sale.’

‘Over the last four months, I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Nora and Saed Moakher. Words cannot explain how incredible they were and how hard they worked for me. Nora had been soliciting me for about four years. She knew my Mother was elderly and wanted to sell her property when she passed. As the Executor of her estate I was the one to take charge of it getting sold. I'd been in contact with a number of Realtors. Had meetings with several. But when I met Nora and Saed I knew they were the ones. They present themselves in such a professional and warm manner. It was obvious they knew how to do business and I felt they were comfortable and competent. And I liked they had a different skill set and each if them would have all the bases covered. They are a great compliment to each other. But mostly my "gut instinct" told me I could trust them. I've had negative experiences with Realtors who weren't. And that was very important to me. This had always been a family property since it was built in 1954. So, it was hard selling something that was family. The best thing about Nora is her calm demeanor. How she could "talk me down off the ceiling" as well as "pick me up off the floor" when things weren't going the right way. I couldn't tell you the times she spent with me on the phone trying to explain every detail and not lose faith. And Saed is so charming and skilled at real estate and handling people. They are quite a pair. I know they encountered some things they'd not in the past. And it was very frustrating for me because I had no experience with this type of property other than managing it. But they never gave me the feeling that they weren't working smart nor hard for me. I never lost faith in the Moakhers. They have great spirits. My life is better because I met them and shared my experiences of family with them. They were always reverent and considerate of how I was doing. That I understood correctly. You are very, very fortunate to have them working for Coldwell Banker.’

‘I wanted to share with you the wonderful experience I just had selling my property in Oakland. I have bought and sold many properties in my lifetime, and I can tell you I have never had such professional and competent realtors as Nora and Saed. I put my trust in them, and I was never disappointed in their actions. I feel very blessed to have had them handle my sale. I would highly recommend them to anyone.’

‘Nora and Saed did a great job selling my father’s property. They kept in touch for several years and assisted me while preparing the property for sale. The whole experience was beyond my expectations.’

‘My wife and I have had a pleasure of working with Nora and Saed Moakher in both buying and selling of our homes. As we were inexperienced in both aspects, they took time to educate us about those endeavors. In selling our place, they put together an excellent flyer... portrayed our home beautifully. We were surprised by the interest generated and are very happy with the price we got. We are now living in our dream home and not only did Nora and Saed manage the business of purchasing this home, they took the time to understand our wants and needs and found this perfect place for us. We could not be happier. Additionally, we have also invested in an income property. Again, with little to no experience on our part, they guided us on what is required in being a landlord. In all cases, Nora and Saed were prompt, knowledgeable, and we felt as though we were getting the attention a number one customer would. I believe they go above and beyond the duties required of an agent. I would wholeheartedly recommend any one to share this experience.’

- Michael and Lena

‘I would like to express my thanks to Coldwell Banker for the exceptional services of Nora and Saed Moakher. This was a short sale -- a very difficult and emotional process. Nora handled it not only with singular skill and diligence, but also with great understanding and compassion, which made this difficult task much more bearable for me. The process was complicated by the fact that I live 3,000 miles away and all our contacts were by phone, fax or email. In spite of this, Nora made herself available at all times, and I felt supported and comfortable throughout the process.

I very much appreciate the time Nora spent reviewing papers with me over the phone, often at unusual hours. She made sure that I understood what was happening and that all my questions were answered. She was also very reasonable whenever anything needed to be done, so even though we had to coordinate across the continent, we were able to keep the process moving. An additional complication was the fact that I had tenants, but Nora worked with them beautifully, from the time of their initial shock at learning they would be displaced up to their eventual relocation, which went very smoothly. I would be happy to work with Moakhers again -- and just as my brother recommended them to me, I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and relatives in the Bay Area.’

‘Just a quick note to let you know what assets you have in Nora and Saed. They impressed both my sister, Deanna Tarnow, and myself with their performance in selling our duplex in Oakland. It was something we dreaded. From the minute we met them, we trusted their instincts and judgment in how to proceed. They work together like a finely-tuned machine. Needless to say, the entire process was quick and painless. I know I speak for my sister as well when I say we can't thank them enough. We are totally ecstatic! Of course, we will send them any business we can and wish them nothing but the best of success. Please take good care of them. We are truly appreciative.’

- Tarnow and Mojeski

‘Now that we are happily settled in our new place, we wanted to take a moment to write a note to let you know how grateful we are to both of you. Simply put, if it had not been for your skill, dedication and easy-mannered professionalism we are quite certain our property would still be on the market. You were able to sell our place within weeks, for the full asking price.’

- Margie and Gavin

‘I just wanted to thank you for all the energy and talent you brought to the marketing of my condo in Chinatown. If I have future real estate needs in the Bay Area, hope I'll be lucky enough to work with you again.’
