Frequently Asked Questions

Other agents in this directory with long East Bay track records include David Higgins of Cush Real Estate and Anja Plowright of The Grubb Company.

Who should I hire to sell my house in Crocker Highlands?

Start by comparing agents with recent sales in the neighborhood. In this directory, that includes Ali Andersen, whose Crocker Highlands listing went under contract 10 days after it hit the market, per Redfin. Rosie Nysaether and Jane Strauch also list homes across the Oakland hills.

Who is the best real estate agent for buying a home in Crocker Highlands?

Buyers here often face multiple offers, so look for an agent with strong buyer-side experience. Ali Andersen represents buyers in both Oakland and San Francisco, and Megan Micco and Lauren Kilbourne both list first-time buyers among their specialties.

Which Crocker Highlands agents have the most reviews?

Among the agents in this directory, David Higgins has 181 reviews on Zillow, Anja Plowright has 122 and Kate McCaffrey has 111. Ali Andersen holds a 5.0 rating on Google.

Can one agent help me sell in Crocker Highlands and buy in San Francisco?

Yes. Ali Andersen works on both sides of the Bay with City Real Estate, which has offices in San Francisco. Learn more on her Crocker Highlands page.

Do homes in Crocker Highlands sell over asking?

Most do. Per Redfin, 91.4% of Crocker Highlands homes sold above list price, with a 124.1% sale-to-list price ratio as of August 2026.

What should I look for in a Crocker Highlands real estate agent?

Look for recent sales in the neighborhood or nearby hills, a clear pricing plan, and reviews from clients on the same side of the deal as you. Ask how they handle multiple-offer situations and pre-sale inspections.

What's the difference between a buyer's agent and a listing agent?

A listing agent represents the seller, handling pricing, preparation, marketing and offers. A buyer's agent represents the buyer, handling the search, disclosures, offer strategy and negotiation. Many agents in this directory do both.

What costs should sellers plan for in Oakland?

Plan for agent commission, staging and repairs, and Oakland's tiered real property transfer tax, which the City of Oakland sets by sale price. Oakland sellers also need a sewer lateral compliance certificate from EBMUD before closing.

How can I check an agent's reviews before hiring?

Read reviews on Zillow, Google or Yelp, and focus on recent ones from clients who bought or sold homes like yours. You can also confirm an agent's license on the California Department of Real Estate website.
