About Roxanna Ahlbach

Roxanna was super available for us and worked with our crazy schedules by meeting with us after hours and on weekends. She guided us carefully through the current market and checked in regularly to get a sense of any evolution in our priorities. We eventually bought a house we love within 4 months of starting this process. In addition, she recently renovated her own home and was able to give us a tailored list of vetted contractors/electricians/plumbers/landscapers etc who could help us with any renovation needs!

As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Roxanna. She was amazing every step of the way from helping us understand the current market to guiding us through the entire offer process from A to Z. Her knowledge, patience, and clear communication made a huge difference and gave us so much confidence throughout. We're so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

Excellent realtor. I have worked with about 5 or 6 realtors over 8 or 9 properties and can honestly say Roxanna is the best. Immediately responsive, helpful, knowledgeable and understands the market. She found a house for my family and got me the best price for my old house. Super happy with everything - she really went above and beyond for us.

I feel so lucky to have met Roxanna and to have had her help when I decided to search for a home! Not only has the market been more unpredictable over the past few years than ever before, the Berkeley market in particular works very differently from the rest of the Bay Area, and Roxanna knows it inside and out. Before I even started going to open houses, Roxanna took the time to get to know me and my personal needs, she described the different neighborhoods, and she then pointed me in the direction of what would best fit my lifestyle. Roxanna is superb at knowing the value of a house, what it will ultimately sell for, and what it would take to increase value. This gives her an edge in negotiating what's best for her clients too. Roxanna stayed true to my budget and didn't try to push me beyond it; she even pointed out what I would not like about some more expensive houses at the top of my budget, foregoing more commission for herself to make sure I would be happy with where I ended up. Since buying my house months ago, Roxanna has stayed in touch to make sure everything continues to go well and has been my reliable go-to for contractors, handymen, and other home needs providers. On top of everything else, Roxanna is super friendly and so much fun to be around! I cannot recommend Roxanna strongly enough!

Roxanna helped us buy our first home (Oakland) in what was arguably one of the weirdest markets of the last 30 years. Roxanna deftly negotiated our offer and we ended up with a house beyond our wildest expectations. Not only did she make the whole experience seem easy, but through her connections, we were matched with a killer lending agent and got a decent rate given the economic moment. Since buying, Roxanna has also connected us to skilled service people to help us navigate making changes and updates to the house. Roxanna is a dream to work with and made what could have been an overwhelming and prolonged experience into a short and painless one.

We felt like we were getting valuable advice that we wouldn't have known without Roxanna. She was also very good at keeping us informed and on-time with paperwork.

I worked with Roxanna to sell my home in Oakland, she was amazing. She really went above and beyond to help stage the house and get it ready to look great in the sales materials, market blast, 3 ring circus of showings, catering, etc. I couldn't believe how much went into it. It was an emotional sale for me, the house was a labor of love, and I was probably a difficult client. TBH I was skeptical of our list price, but she really knows the market, had her finger on the pulse of the neighborhood, eased my concerns, and got the sale up to my target price! In the end I couldn't be happier with the new owners too. When working to buy my new house I felt I trusted Roxanna's friendly advice over the realtor I was working with (in another market.) I wish she could have handled our purchase as well as our sale.

Roxanna was very helpful in guiding us through escrow

Roxanna is incredible. We have known her for years as a friend, and asked for her guidance in finding a first home. Not only is she incredibly supportive, responsive/accessible and knowledgeable about the competitive bay area market, but she manages it all deftly. And with an amazing sense of humor (very important to us). We had worked with other folks in the past that we liked, but the process of actually closing on a house made us realize how important it is to have someone that navigates the process this professionally. From beginning to end she worked hard on making this happen, including answering a million time-sensitive questions and reassuring us during the process. We had no idea how much work goes into this, and now appreciate how much Roxanna went above and beyond for us. There was a lot she did not have to do that she did for us, and we are very grateful for her support! I would happily ask Roxanna to work with us in the future.

We recommend Roxanna to anyone looking for an honest realtor who isn't pushy. She sold our rental condo a few years ago and we had such a positive experience that we called her when we were ready to downsize from our family home of 20 years. Roxanna guided us on what to do and what to expect, taking care of every detail.

I didn’t know a realtor could be as strategic, as knowledgeable, or as great to work with as Roxanna. There is no question she can’t answer and nothing she can’t do. She will sell the house we just bought through her when the time comes, and help us buy our next one. 10 Fucking Stars!

Roxanna is amazing to work with. She already helped 3 of our friends both buy and sell houses. It was never a question who we would work with when we were ready to buy, but I was frankly surprised at how smooth and easy the whole process was. Roxanna explained every detail along the way and made us feel incredibly supported. She went above and beyond when offering, and I believe it was her tactful talents that helped us win our house. As an added bonus, she's been able to connect us to skilled people to help with the new house, such as a contractor and drainage specialist. Roxanna is incredibly knowledgeable, well-connected, and somehow makes this complex and emotional process feel totally achievable. We highly recommend working with her.

Roxanna was so great to work with! She was so knowledgeable and constructive throughout a very hard housing search in a wild east bay real estate market. Working with her was hands down the bets part of the whole experience and we are so grateful for her help!

Simon and Roxanna accomplished a near miracle in helping us to sell our home. Their advice and guidance made sure that our home presented at its best. And they were able to negotiate to get us an incredible price and the right buyer for our home. The process was respectful, thoughtful and well informed from beginning to finish.

We highly recommend Roxanna! As others have mentioned, she is truly a rockstar, she helped sell our first home in Montclair the Fall of 2020, so you know it was an emotional process for us. This was not our first time selling property, but we were looking for a specialist in the Montclair area that could give our property a unique appeal and personality to bring out the best offer. We interviewed other agents recommended in a local MOM group and she was by far the most prepared, and she is so sweet and lovely and easy to work with which is really important during such a stressful process! During our transformation to get market-ready, Roxanna and her team really made our property shine and made the selling process super easy and streamlined. We received multiple offers well above asking price and she negotiated the best price. We were ready to *almost* throw in the towel and accept a lower offer due to some complications with the highest offer, but because of her expertise, she advised us to wait out the agonizing 24 hours and we ended up getting the highest offer!! Whether you're looking to buy or sell, Roxanna is your rockstar and she brings along with her a solid team!! Look no further and just hire her already! We are so glad we did!
