She truly was our advocate every step of the way during the selling of our house. She brings decades of real estate knowledge coupled with kindness and genuineness.

Negar Souza is an outstanding agent! She has an incredible knowledge of the Bay Area Real Estate Market as well as the buying and selling process. She patiently guided me through the process of buying my first home. I was very pleased with her communication and ability to answer ALL of my questions. She understood my taste and needs and quickly found me a great home in a great location. Negar went above and beyond to walk me through every step of the process and made our closing effortless.

Collaborating with this exceptional listing agent was a game-changer for our mutual clients recent home purchase transaction.

Beyond their professional competence, Negar's genuine passion for client success made the experience both rewarding and enjoyable. As a loan officer, I wholeheartedl...

The best of thebest,. always the best advocates.

This was my first experience in the real estate market and I seriously think I could not have succeeded without Negar. She has been not just an amazing agent, but also and especially a honest and caring friend through the whole process. I am a foreign resident who was totally ignorant about real estate in the Bay Area and in the US and Negar has been patiently instructing me practically on everything I needed to know about the local house market, the loan programs as well as explaining carefully all the paperwork needed for escrow. I am truly impressed by Negar's skills in terms of communication and negotiation, and I very much appreciate her readin...

Superb experience - professional, responsive, and effective. A great result, rapidly achieved.

Negar really helped guide us with the preparation for sale and then did a great job negotiating with the buyer. Negar was available to communicate with us and with the buyer's agent beyond the normal business hours which really helped get the transaction closed. We love working with Negar and her team?

Negar and Spencer were the best! From start to finish.........they were there 100%! They not only sold my house in Berkeley.......but they found me the perfect new home........all in a matter of just a few months. They were there for me every step along the way. It was a journey.......but we achieved all of my goals. I could not be happier with the outcome!

I recommend Feri Niroomand and Negar Souza to everyone I know. When they showed me this house - my house - with everything on my must have list, I was thrilled. When they negotiated the price down into my price range, I was amazed! The house even has a peek of the Bay, which was not on my must have list. (Thank you, Feri and Negar!) Feri and Negar know real estate, know the Bay Area inside out, are great negotiators, and follow up on every detail. From start to finish, the purchase of my home was one simple step after another. No hitches, no stress, no delays. I was kept informed as each step was completed, escrow closed and I picked up my keys! It ...

Negar is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate professional. She delivered above and beyond for our recent home sale!

Negar & Feri were wonderful to work with. Knowledgable, good listeners and available! I would definitely work with them again!

Negar is aweasome.

I valued the care and attention that Negar and Feri placed on the sale of my home from preparation to closing. During a hectic process I was provided with the attention and professionalism that was needed to successfully sell my home to the perfect buyer.

Negar was extremely knowledgable, savvy, and responsive. It was a pleasure to work with her and her team.

Negar is a super agent, who is always on the alert and ready to offer shrewd and immediate service. I cannot imagine a better real estate agent to work with.

My husband and I spent almost a year looking at dozens of homes for what everyone wants in the perfect home of course. Our biggest issue was location! My husband wanted something that was just not realistic at all but it took him awhile to realize that ;-) Luckily we had Negar to help us out! She was incredibly patient with us and showed us anything we wanted to see knowing that we just needed to get it out of our system. Even though she new most of the places were not right for us! We were new home buyers and therefore had never been through the process and knew nothing but she held our hands throughout the whole thing. Never got frustrated or shor...

Negar was outstanding in every possible way! She paid attention to what we liked and prioritized, and found us our house before we realized we wanted it. And she negotiated a surprisingly good price for us in an extremely difficult market. We had a wonderful experience working with Negar.

I cannot sing Negar's praises high enough! She has gone the extra mile and beyond so many times. I don't envy her job--it takes a special person to do something so challenging so well.

Overall great experience. My only comment is that PGP encrypted email should be standard for sending financial data to real estate agents. Otherwise it goes out plain text over the internet for people to see, making it easy for those who want to engage in identity theft and other types of fraud. It's not that everyone will use end to end encryption, but it should be the default on the agents end. Especially if they need proof of funds etc.

Negar Souza: I was looking for condo purchase for my son who has a disability. I called Negar and she had me meet her at the Condo on that day. We found out there was an existing offer on the condo . She encouraged me not to give up with my offer. Through the process she was available through text and phone calls always getting back to me right away. Thanks to Negar my son now has a permanent home to live in.

Working Negar on selling our home was the best decision ever! Every step was quick and she and her team made the process seamless and stress free! We closed in 1 week and had 8 offers!

Feri and Negar recently represented me in the sale of my home. They are consummate professionals--great advice about every aspect of preparing my home for sale. They take care of all the details, from staging the home, to arranging for beautiful photography for marketing, to pre-sale cleaning and touch up painting that was necessary. My home was on the market for only one week, and it sold for over the asking price. I couldn't have been happier with how they handled the sale of my home.

I love my house more all the time. What can I say? You worked a miracle, as you know.

Are you kidding me? We literally would not have got this house if it were not for Negar. We are first time home buyers, and she walked us, no, carried us, through the entire process from locating the house to the day we received our keys. Let me first start by saying, she is incredibly knowledgable about the area. We already knew what city we wanted to live in, and we visited a bunch of places she found within budget with key features in mind. She knew which places were kid friendly, which had lots of traffic and noise issues, what kind of history the buildings had. When we visited a place that had some feature we liked or didn't like, she would rem...

Absolutely LOVE Negar Souza. She held space for me during a really hard time (my mother had just passed away), and helped secure the house that would become our home in Alameda. It isn't easy to be with someone and shepherd them through the process when things are emotionally rough, but she did an INCREDIBLE job. Love her, and love Red Oak!

So happy we had the chance to work with Negar and Feri! My husband and I are first time home buyers and were concerned we would need to make a ton of concessions to be competitive in this market, but meeting Negar completely changed the game for us. Negar turned what we expected to be a stressful ordeal into a smooth success story. She is highly responsive and had a sixth sense for anticipating our concerns. Even over the Christmas/New Year break, she worked tirelessly to get our first (and only!) offer accepted and secured inspections for a fast close. Shout out to Feri for also meeting us multiple times at the property for a walk through and inspe...

Feri and Negar are amazing! Negar walked me through the purchase of my first home, when I was ready to sell a few years later I wouldn't have considered working with anyone but Feri and Negar. They are always accessible, honest, and knowledgeable about all aspects real estate. Not only do they have a great reputation amongst their clients they are well known and respected by everyone from loan officers to home inspectors. I have recommended the Feri and Negar to several of my friends and family whom have all had a similar experience.

Feri was always there for us during the difficult and tedious process of selling our house. We were able to sell our house in less than two weeks at a price over asking. Her professional experience really made a difference. She went beyond our expectations.

Negar is a great agent and super smart. However, I felt like she was very busy at the time I listed my home. This was fine since my husband, and I did all of the work and disclosures ourselves. I felt like she knew somewhat about the town of Piedmont but is more of an expert in El Cerrito where she currently lives. Also, I would encourage her to subscribe to Ad Review.

Excellent full service all around, bring her wealth of experience, trusted team and going the extra mile. Nothing was too much trouble for her to do, allowing me to leave the final pieces in her competent hands. This allowed me to leave the country feeling it would all be completed safely. Above and beyond what I'd expected a realtor would handle.

Negar Souza was incredible to work with. She provided guidance and support during a transaction that was mind boggling fast and was negotiated over 2 states. Negar and her team went above and beyond in providing information, feedback, her vast knowledge. She was patient and professional, warm and approachable. What a terrific experience. Move in day was today and my family now has a place to grow.

My Wife and I did not even think buying a house was remotely possible. Negar and Feri turned our fantasy dream into an immediate reality. They took care of everything and made all the complications in buying a home seem relatively easy. They were very helpful and personable when we were looking for that perfect home and only took us out to preview homes that were the right fits for us. This helped save us time so we didnt look at homes that we would not be interested in. They also were very familiar with the particular areas that we were interested in moving and didn't try and 'stick' us in bad neighborhoods/busy streets. They were very proactive an...

Negar and Feri were wonderful! We had a short time frame and a lot of undecided details when we were looking to buy a home. Negar and Feri had boundless energy and patience, and were very honest and thorough as they walked us through each option and each step to complete our purchase. Their support made not only the purchase of the new home possible, but also provided stability and sanity to the whole process. Let me emphasize just how helpful and honest Negar and Feri have been. Even when they would have benefited from steering us in one direction, they advised us against anything they didn't feel was in our best interest. I would recommend them to...

Negar Souza and Red Oak Realty took such good care of us in our house buying process! This was our first home purchase and we easily could have felt completely confused by the intricate, fast-moving process. With Negar's help we were able to navigate house hunting and escrow with confidence, and we learned so much for her along the way! Even better, our first home fits our needs and budget to a T! If you're thinking about working with Negar I can recommend her without reservation. With her on your team, you'll feel confident, strategic, and experienced because she is (even if you're just learning ;) ). Thank you Negar!!

Negar has helped us buy two homes and sell one. She is a force—an advocate, a voice of reason, a trusted advisor, and an absolute hustler. She worked to find solutions when we’ve felt stuck. Her network of connections has been instrumental through the buying/selling process and beyond, as we need repairs, etc. Negar has been an absolute joy to work with.

We cannot recommend Negar highly enough. Negar is well known for her expertise in the local market and knows how to get offers accepted in the most competitive situations. We see Negar regularly go above and beyond to make sure her clients are well taken care of throughout the entire home buying process and extremely happy with their purchase. She is responsive, congenial, and professional. You will love working with Negar - we absolutely do!

My wife and I had the best home-buying experience with Negar. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was with us every step of the way. Her approach is very consultative, she is an educator first and foremost. She empowers you to make smart decisions instead of making them for you.

Negar is so expert with deep connections and command of the market. She was incredibly supportive and guided us to buying a beautiful home.

Negar was basically what I hope for in any professional that I work with - she has a clear opinion of the right way to do things and has a nice mix of education and persuasion that helped us (a long time married couple going through a divorce and needing to sell our rental home) make timely decisions that we felt confident in. All of her observations about what was likely to happen were accurate, and we sold the house for what we expected to sell it for. At all times I found her to be responsive, ethical and well-informed. I'd recommend Negar for anybody selling or buying a house in the East Bay.

The process of selling g my condo was painless. Negar did everything necessary to get it ready for sale. It was a bad time with interest rates rising and therefore prices people were willing to pay falling. Good advise on realist pricing etc was appreciated. Being out of state, the availability of e signatures, and having a notary come to me in my home made things very easy.

Negar is amazing to work with ~ she is extremely proactive and honed in immediately on my dream neighborhood and dream home. She has the experience and skill set to put together a clean and appropriate offer. I'm grateful to continue to work with her to now sell my house because then, alas, she did such a great job finding me the perfect home that I don't expect to move again!

I want to express my deep thanks and appreciation for your hard work in helping me get my house. It was a real pleasure to work with you ? I feel I could not have done better in choosing an agent.

I have extremely high standards, and I give Feri Niroomand my highest recommendation without qualification for her services as a realtor. I tried 3 other top realtors in the East Bay over several years, and none met even my basic needs. Finally, Feri was recommended by a friend who had bought and sold multiple houses through her. Feri proved to be exactly as described: extremely knowledgeable and professional and very detail oriented. From start to finish, Feri was attentive to every detail: really listening and identifying my unique house needs/wishes; locating and taking me all over every week to see good options; ruling out inappropriate options ...

Negar has been an amazing resource for my husband and me as first time home buyers. She understood our goals and was very knowledgeable about the local market. She also helped us understand what to expect in terms of listed vs. sale prices generally, as well as flagging when certain properties may be exceptions to the general rule. Negar is also super generous with her knowledge. She took the time to walk us through disclosure packets so that we could make an informed decision, and when we visited properties she had a keen eye for conditions on the property that might require our attention down the line. Once we were under contract, Negar provided a...

Negar helped me find my first home and made what I thought would be an extremely stressful process very straightforward, efficient, and simple. She found an unlisted property that was absolutely perfect for me and I got it at a great price. Negar was very organized and tech savvy, I'm very busy so being able to text and email with my realtor was crucial. I would highly recommend Negar to anyone looking for a home, you won't find a better agent!

After spending a frustrating year of trying to buy a home, Negar stepped in and helped us make our dream come true. She genuinely cares about matching you with a home that will work for your family and she probably knows what will work for you even better than you do.

My realtor, Negar Souza, was the BEST! She guided me and took care of me every step of the way in a very difficult situation. She is so competent and professional and at the same time personable, helpful and assuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She led me from an unbelievably destroyed rental home to the successful sale of a charming, lovely little house. She is deserving of much more than a five star rating. She is a wonder!

Negar is amazing, and I rave about her to everyone. She made the process of buying a home easy-- which is hard to believe! As a first time home-buyer, I relied on her expertise and advice. She was always responsive and thoughtful in our interactions and helped me buy my dream home. Thank you, Negar!

I can't highlight the value enough about working with a local agent(s)! Feri and Negar's expertise in East Bay allowed us to be as aggressive as our budget would allow, while still landing a home within our desired area! They guided us through our first time buying a home, making as painless as possible - closing in just 21 days! Feri and Negar are true partners in the house hunting process. Thank you for our dream home!
