About The Oliver Team - Merritt and Schuyler Oliver

Had been awhile since I last sold a house, so was somewhat taken aback by amount of paperwork now required due, I'm sure, to past litigation. My advice, chose an agent with a strong history; one that stays alert to every detail, every possible pitfall. I owe a big debt of gratitude to a friend who recommended Merritt Oliver. Peace of mind is invaluable.

Working with the Merritt and Schuyler team was terrific. They were knowledgeable, organized, strategic, and went beyond to help us prepare our home for sale. I can’t imagine doing it without them. Merritt was by far, the most engaged and easy to work with realtor I have ever worked with. She made the process go smoothly and she always brought a level of humanity to the conversation. I can’t say enough good words about her. She is amazing.

Merritt was our agent for a recent home purchase. She is professional and a skilled negotiator. The real plus is the contacts she has within the home improvement and furnishing industry. She was able to connect us with a number of reputable businesses when it came time to do some work on the home we bought. In a tough market like Berkeley, I don't think you can go wrong with her as your agent.

I cant say enough good things about working with Merritt Oliver - having her represent me as my agent. She was knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply helpful. She was always available, even when an offer had to be developed when she was on her personal vacation - 3 time zones apart she was always there for us. She presented us with properties that fit our needs and made sure to follow up with us on how her searches were aligning with our needs and goals. She was always there when we hit a challenge - like the time we struggled to find home insurance and she was able to get us to an agent at the 11th hour. Above all, she was a joy to work with. We are...

Merritt did an incredible job. This sale was so easy for us. She just jumped on all the facets of the house that needed tweaking. Merritt identified that we would be in a better position if we got it on the market sooner rather than later. Miraculously she was able to get a multitude of fixes on the house in less than a month and got it on the market way before we thought was possible. Her advise was always right on. She was able answer any questions we had and address any concerns that we raised. The process was not only painless, but even kind of exciting and interesting.

I've worked with Merritt both as a client and a business partner and she is extremely professional, conscientious and honest. I would highly recommend her as a real estate agent.

If you're looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area, Merritt Oliver is the agent you want by your side. I met Merritt when shopping for my first home in Berkeley, CA in 2004. It was a no-brainer to use her services several years later when I (reluctantly) had to sell my home to move back east. While I settled into my new life 3,000 miles away, she took care of all the details and was personally engaged at every step of the process. Merritt even spent several hours pruning a camelia bush in the front yard to give my house that extra little boost of curb appeal. Personalized attention to details like this and a great eye for how to squeeze the ful...

Merritt Oliver is an exceptional real estate agent. She quickly put me at ease and made the purchase of my home easy. Merritt allowed me to decide on what was best for my family and we found it together. I will definitely go with Merritt again with my next purchase of property.

We worked with Merritt both to buy and to sell our home in Albany. She was a wonderful resource and provided expert advice on everything from neighborhoods to service providers.Plus, she was friendly and we got along well. She seemed to get us, and what we were looking for -- a quality we've found lacking in agents we've dealt with since. I definitely recommend Merritt to those looking for a home in the East Bay.

To Whom It May Concern, In 2000, my husband and I bought a major fixer-upper. We worked on it ourselves for over ten years and by the time we were finished, it was a gem. We had really put a ton of effort and thought into every detail, and we were very proud of the result. However, we decided that we needed to sell the house because it no longer worked for our family (by that time, we had two kids, and our house needs had changed). Schuyler Oliver was our selling agent for this property, and he was definitely the right man for the job. He took the time to understand and appreciate our perspective as sellers. He really got it. He was able to present ...

Merritt is our buying agent and we are currently in escrow. That is saying something, since we are in the crazy unobtainable Berkeley housing market. She is able to find out all the information you need, she is well connected in Berkeley, and she is available all hours. She is very detail oriented and strategic. I highly recommend her. She will be your advocate.

I have had Merritt represent me as my agent on two home purchases and one listing. She has always been reliable, trustworthy and creative. I recommend Merritt completely and with no resignations. David Smith
