I have lived in the Bay Area for over 20 years, and have worked as a licensed real estate professional here for over 12 of those years.
In 1999 I joined Red Oak Realty and have remained with them ever since. The experience I have gained in working with this friendly, well respected, and locally owned company has greatly contributed to my commitment to excellence and customer service.
By closely following the local listings and sales, I maintain a keen sense of values and market trends. Bringing this depth of knowledge to every transaction serves my clients well, whether they are buyers or sellers.
Whether working with buyers or sellers, homeowners or investors, I handle every stage of the transaction with respect, thoroughness, humor, and a positive attitude.
Your satisfaction is the focus of my business. I go to great lengths to understand my clients' needs, and to keep their best interests foremost in my mind. What sets me apart from other real estate agents is the high level of my dedication to building relationships with my clients. My goal is not just to make a sale but to become the only name you consider when you, or those close to you need real state advice. As a result, over 80% of my business comes from past client referrals; a true testimony to their satisfaction.

TESTIMONIALS
I contacted Red Oak about selling my house and Charlie happened to reply. I had heard many good things about Red Oak so I felt pretty good about any representative of that office. Charlie was so pleasant to work with. He helped us get through an intense couple of months getting our fixer-upper ready for sale by helping us prioritize work, line up contractors, and kept the contractors on schedule. That alone was worth his commission! After the work was done, he advertised our house so well we had a near stampeed of buyers. Our house was the talk of the neighborhood. The house was on a busy street so we thought we would have a tough time selling it. However, we had more offers than we knew what to do with! The outcome of the sale was much more than I'd hoped for. Thanks Charlie!
We would like to recommend Charlie Cook, as your real estate agent, due to his professionalism and dedication to working with and for his clients. Charlie is knowledgable, competent and dedicated. Charlie goes the extra mile for the people he works for and is a pleasure to deal with even when the stress level is high. We not only purchased our triplex home in Oakland with Charlie, we decided to use him to sell our home as well. It gives us great pleasure to highly recommend Charlie Cook.
Charlie Cook was referred to us by another agent in the same office as she was leaving to pursue other work-and it was a great choice! Charlie has represented us in multiple transactions with more to come. He covers all the bases and does it with a light perspective and great sense of humor. He takes the necessary time to review issues so that we always feel he has our best interest as his highest priority. We recommend his services without reservation.
Charlie really helped us through the difficult and competitive process of buying our first house. He helped us stay positive and guided us to make a realistic yet winning bid. We both really appreciated Charlie's optimistic and upbeat outlook, even in the face of trying circumstances. Most importantly, he was always available when we had questions or concerns. We would recommend Charlie to all of our friends.
Charlie was a pleasure to work with, despite our being very finicky buyers. He tirelessly showed us house after house, never losing his objectivity or sense of humor. When it came time to buy, his house knowledge and negotiation techniques were invaluable. We've recommended him to friends and would use him again without reservation.
It was a pleasure having you as our Real Estate Agent. Thank you for your professionalism and guidance in buying our first home. Your dedication made the process quick and smooth. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend you to our friends and acquaintances. Thank you for all you have done!
My husband and I have been long-time renters, but knew nothing about buying a home when we first walked into Charlie's office. Although we had often heard just how tough it is to buy a house in the bay area, from minute one Charlie made it as fun, painless, and efficient as possible. We had endless questions and Charlie patiently listened and gave us the answers in a clear, uncomplicated and thorough manner. Charlie's professionalism, compassion, and straightforward style made it easy to trust him and his advice. It was clear that Charlie wanted us to get the best deal and the best house that suited OUR style, so I never felt that he wasted our time looking at properties we wouldn't like or ones that were out of our price range. He clearly worked hard to get us into a great home, but was never pushy and allowed us to go at our own pace. As proof, Charlie found the home we bought before hardly any other prospective buyers saw it, and that really made a significant difference for us. We got a wonderful first house in a great neighborhood for a great price. We couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone buying or selling a home, and already have. He's a real find.
We wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we deeply appreciate all your help in buying our first house. Now that we are getting settled in we are enjoying having our own place more and more. It al seems like a blur now, but I do remember looking at endless houses and condos until we felt absolutely overwhelmed. You were always upbeat,patient, and supportive with us. You helped us put the search into perspective by helping us analyze the pros and cons of each place with honesty and humor. When we found our house you took the time to break down each step and explain what was happening and why. I am still amazed that you managed to work around our varied schedules and deadlines with a professional attitude and a smile on your face. thank you, thank you, thank you for all your help. We would (and will)recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone who needed a realtor.
Charlie, we would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a real estate agent. As first time home buyers we were unfamiliar with the process and had many questions. You guided us through the complicated experience with straightforward answers, as well as a great sense of humor. You made an otherwise stressful time much more rewarding. We would recommend you to anyone and would definitely work with you again. Thanks!
