Testimonials
"Working with Gayle Tantau in the sale of
our home at 18 Binnacle Hill has, indeed, been a pleasure. When we
decided to sell, we called Gayle for an appraisal even though we
were not acquainted, but because we were quite impressed with her
articles in The Montclarian and her newsletters. The sale was quick
and smooth. The buyers, of whom she also represented, were well
qualified and the price was our 'asking' price.
Gayle was also a wonderful help to us in
finding a new home. She put us in touch with excellent agents in
several areas of Southern California.
Above all, we would like to say, we
couldn't have chosen a better agent. We have recommended her to
several friends in this area. She has insight, understanding and
consideration - qualities which are so important in life and,
especially important when one is going through buying and selling a
home."

"Over the years I have bought and sold many
houses, with and without an agent. Gayle Tantau has been my agent in
two of these sales and without a doubt, she has been the best real
estate professional I have ever known. The two sales at 48 Schooner
Hill and 72 Schooner Hill in Hiller Highlands, Oakland, were
markedly different in asking price, but she showed the same
organization and enthusiasm in each case.
She advised me about the timing of the
sale, the price of the property and how to improve and decorate my
home to make the best presentation. She advised me how to handle
multiple bids to my best advantage. I took her advice in each of
these areas and she had made exactly the right choices.
Gayle did all the work involved in
obtaining improvements and repairs, meeting the contractor at my
home and inspecting the results. Although I was out of state for all
the preparations and the showings, I felt fully informed of the
progress.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Gayle and
would encourage sellers to follow her suggestions."

"We were so happy to have Gayle Tantau
represent us in buying our new home. The house we purchased was under
construction, and we knew that we were taking on a big job to complete
the home. Gayle rebuilt her own home, after the 1991 firestorm. We
were involved in a multiple offer situation and Gayle demonstrated
excellent negotiation skils. Thanks to Gayle we got the house. Anyone
would be lucky to have Gayle as their Agent."
