Anna Bellomo - Berkeley, California

Shauna S.

Like a fairy godmother, Anna made magic happen. Truly, we are so fortunate to have worked with her in selling our North Berkeley home. Anna knows the area like a pro, and has the connections and finesse to get things done - quickly! Her eye toward design helped us quickly decide how to present our house – what should go where to make it sing. We worked on a tight timeline to sell our house, involving an overseas move that required things to move quickly. Anna worked within all of our parameters, making us feel genuinely involved and appreciated as we moved through the motions, and continuously guiding us to make the best decisions to optimize our house’s value. We couldn’t have been more impressed with the results: four weeks after our first meeting with Anna, we received an offer at more than 50 percent over asking. We are incredibly grateful to Anna and highly recommend her. She is the diamond standard and what real estate professionals should strive to be.

Anna is at the top of her class. Working with her to sell our home, we were constantly impressed with her relational skills, professionalism, efficiency, and knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market. She graciously guided us through the process, helped us understand where to spend money on improvements and what to let be. She coordinated vendors (painters, stagers, handyman, etc.) and ensured the quality of their work. When it came time to list the home and take offers, her nuanced understanding of the market really shined. Anna knew how to make our house sell for top dollar. We trusted her, and she made it happen. If you're looking for someone to sell your home, or help you buy your next home, look no further.

We cannot say enough about the exceptional service we received from Anna Bellomo. Anna came into a delicate situation which she handled masterfully - calmly and professionally. Throughout the challenging process, she was always available for questions and we felt truly listened to. While not imposing, Anna helped us make the best decisions with reassuring expert guidance. Knowing that we had a firm advocate made the negotiation process less stressful. Anna made it her mission to help us complete the sale of our property as soon as possible, and amazingly we were able to sell at full asking price and close escrow in five days. Anna Bellomo embodies the qualities of an excellent realtor. She has the expertise and level head that comes with many years of experience and the emotional sensitivity necessary to handle charged situations that involve transitions of home and money.

We highly recommend working with Anna! Anna helped us buy our home in the Berkeley Hills, and thanks to her the purchase went smoothly and was as efficient as possible. She was accessible and always available during the process. She was also candid — forthcoming with the information we didn’t want to hear, and not just highlighting the good things about possible homes. It was important to us that we receive honest and informative advice from our real estate agent as a trusted advisor, and Anna delivered. This was our first home purchase in the Bay Area, and Anna was patient and helpful in helping us reorient to this unique market. We are so grateful to have worked with Anna!

If you're selling a home - stop looking, hire Anna. We planned to sell our Berkeley home, and initially debated saving money going with Redfin. But I've bought with Redfin before, whose agents don't have the time, knowledge or good counsel critical for local market success. I came across Anna when we visited an insanely well-received open house hosted by her firm - I knew I had to speak with this agent!

Hiring Anna paid for itself many times over!! She has so much local market expertise and great judgment. She knows exactly what matters and what doesn't when presenting a house. She's super responsive, has great attention to detail, and knows all the people you need for a smooth transaction from beginning to end. That includes a deep knowledge of local brokers and how they work, which really helped during negotiations with a list of buyers. Anna's properties get the "Anna premium" - people know it's a great product, with super clear and honest disclosures that she stands behind.

We're so grateful to Anna and the wonderful team behind her, because you may only sell your house a few times in your life - and it really matters who's playing on your team to get the best outcome!

Anna has a rare and precious combination of outstanding people skills, and an excellent commercial and strategic mind! I can’t recommend her highly enough.

During our house hunt she was unflaggingly dedicated and upbeat; thinking creatively about our needs, suggesting options we might not have considered and providing honest and expert advice at all points in our search.

She clearly cares deeply about her clients, wants them to be happy with their choice, and never loses sight of the fact that a house purchase is probably the most important financial investment most people make.

What is so special about Anna is that this personal commitment is combined with an intense attention to detail, an ability to identify, prioritize and solve potential problems efficiently, and a highly attuned commercial sense. I have a background in investment banking and plenty of experience negotiating and executing financial transactions, and I deeply appreciated Anna’s professionalism, integrity, and creativity when it came to closing our house purchase.

She helped us present a package combining a competitive offer with some personal touches that made the difference between having our offer accepted and the seller asking for second round bids. She then closed our deal as fast as humanly possible, because we were under pressure to move. We could not have been happier to have her on our side

I did an exhaustive search for agent when we were selling our home. I built a shot list based on reviews, prior sales and speaking with other agents. When I interviewed agents on the short list, they asked me who else I was talking to. When I said Anna's name, several of the other agents said "If you can get Anna, she is the best you can get" - That is how good Anna's reputation is.
And that advice served us well. Anna was a true partner who understood both the macro-level factors, and the minute details. She is honest, trustworthy, and an expert at her trade.
Now, when someone asks me if I have any recommendations for an real estate agent, I say "If you can get Anna..."

Anna is as good as it gets! She helped us navigate our way through all the preparatory work getting our house ready to sell, took care of the inevitable issues that arose, marketed the house beautifully and ultimately helped us find a wonderful buyer.  We moved out of town before the house went on the market, and Anna was in constant contact with us, consulting with inspectors and an entire team whose only purpose, it seemed to us, was showcasing our home’s unique beauty.  When a large branch crashed down on the street just before an open house, we found out about it from a neighbor and called Anna in a panic.  “I got this,” she calmly said.  And she did.  The branch was gone that day.  Maybe the thing we loved most about Anna was how much she also loved our house.  It had been our home for many years, and it truly meant something to us that she saw what we saw in it and did a fantastic job conveying that to others.  Selling a home is stressful, we knew.  We needn’t have worried.  Anna guided us through the whole process, calmed us when we were stressed, and was a vigilant advocate for us all along the way.  We couldn’t have found a better agent!
