Tarpoff & Talbert Ltd

Pat Talbert and Anet Tarpoff are exemplary realtors. They’re savvy, professional, empathic, and fun. Above all, they go the extra mile (upon mile) for clients. I wish all realtors would operate the way this team does.
I helped a friend with early dementia to interview realtors to sell her house in Oakland, a sad situation that required the compassion and experience that only realtors with years in the business could possess.
From our first interview with T&T, my friend and I knew they were the people she needed (we’d done two other interviews). It was a great fit: Anet and Pat understood my friend’s worries and her limitations. They came to every inspection. They discovered a hitch in the title and got that cleared up early on. My friend was very concerned about what she’d do with all her things – she was moving across country to assisted living. No problem: Anet and Pat suggested a contact who would oversee a sale of the contents and help empty the house. My friend gave a sigh of relief. It was a huge burden lifted.
And that’s how the entire transaction went: T&T held my friend’s hand, made sure she got the best deals on inspections and repairs, and worked with a deadline provided by the family. After my friend moved, Pat and Anet immediately implemented their plan: the house was transformed, updated, painted, floors done, and staged. Sure enough, it garnered 9 offers, 6 of which were all-​cash. My friend netted hundreds of thousands of dollars more than she expected.
I can say this: Pat and Anet will never let you down. They will fight for you, negotiate, adapt, and oversee every last detail. Plus they’re a pleasure to work with and complement each other beautifully. You will not be disappointed.

I have been working with Pat and Anet for a very long time, through a number of transactions.
They worked tirelessly for me. I use a wheelchair to get around, so it really limits the number of places worth looking at. Pat and Anet worked closely with me, asking the right kind of questions and then following up when they wanted to make sure they understood a particular point correctly.
Their years of experience truly makes a difference when it comes to negotiating an offer. And when it comes to preparing your home for sale, they make it real easy. They know all of the GREAT contractors for wood floors, repairs and inspections.
On top of their absolute professional service and standards, they are a true pleasure to work with. Can you imagine wanting to stay in touch with your realtors after your transaction is over? You will with Pat and Anet.
Honestly, I wish that every business I deal would follow through and stay diligent the way Tarpoff and Talbert do.
