I offer high-touch real estate services to sellers and buyers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I focus on the East Bay region: Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, and environs. However, I have managed sales as far north as the southern tip of Napa County, and south into San Jose, Campbell, and Los Gatos, eastward to Pleasant Hill, Lamorinda area, Concord and Clayton, and west to Menlo Park. I have worked in the real estate industry in the Bay Area for more than a quarter of a century. I bring a set of skills that make me a formidable advocate for my clients and their interests, including:

• Approaching three decades of experience managing residential and investment transactions for clients in the Bay Area and beyond

• Close cooperative alliances with colleagues, industry professionals, consultants, and contractors who work with me to deliver the results you see

• Finely honed negotiation skills and a history of success in high-stakes negotiations

• An in-depth understanding of construction and disclosure issues specific to Bay Area housing and existing home stock

• Professional grounding in city planning and permit issues pertinent to a buyer or seller’s evaluation of property potential and market value

I support my clients with regular and detailed communications for the time we work together and beyond. I provide clear explanations of the process and options available to you at every step of your real estate journey and offer recommendations you can trust and rely on. I am fully dedicated to achieving each of my client’s unique goals and objectives and will not settle for providing any less than superlative service to every person I represent. My integrity and reputation are built on this commitment. My numerous 5-star client reviews attest to my level of service, and I am always happy to put new clients in contact with prior clients, should you want to ask more detailed questions about my work.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss my services and strategies with you. Let me answer your real estate or market questions, and provide the professional representation you seek. Let me make your next real estate transaction as successful and enjoyable as possible!

Testimonials

See what my clients say about me

Lucy embodies everything you could ask for in a REALTOR®. She helped us with so many aspects of selling our home that seemed overwhelming, such as: figuring out the best time to list our home for sale in a challenging market, finding reasonably-priced contractors for repairs and upgrades, scheduling inspections and home staging, and determining a strategy for our listing price. She assisted us with all of this (and more) on a very tight timeline. Throughout the entire process, she was very communicative and easy to work with. All of our interactions with her were positive, personal, and professional. She was always accessible, answered our numerous questions, and helped us through a stressful time with selling our primary residence.

We bought a home in a very difficult seller's market and I strongly believe we couldn't have done it without the advice and dedication of Lucy Armentrout. I would recommend her services in a heartbeat. Lucy is very knowledgeable about the structural characteristics of homes and where the market is going. She also has a great reputation in the real estate community and every time we were in contact with a seller's agent, they would always smile and nod when we told them we worked with Lucy. Finally, when the stressful escrow period came, she was with us 120%, responding to our questions at all hours, always very quickly and with abundant research/detail to allow us to not miss a beat in this fast-paced process.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Lucy! We shared a year-long journey involving many open houses, multiple offers, and my eventual purchase of a home that was an amazing find and a rare gem in a competitive market. Lucy was extremely knowledgeable and provided a great experience for me as a first-time home buyer. She explained everything from sewer lateral replacement to some of the effects of purchasing properties with tenants. She was always willing to schedule time for me to see homes that didn't have open houses available, and when it came time for offers she explained some of the decisions I'd need to make with regards to contingency dates. Lucy was never pushy and didn't ever complain about my slow pace.

We are so happy we found Lucy. We interviewed several agents and we went with Lucy due to a personal referral and her experience in the East Bay, along with her preparedness for our initial meeting. Along the way, Lucy was on top of every little detail which led to an extremely positive outcome and sales price for our home well above expectations. On top of that, she got the deal done as the covid 19 outbreak escalated. She got us great stagers and vendors and managed them effortlessly. She understood also the big macro picture and suggested open house timing that ended up being favorable. Lucy also was a skilled negotiator and closed the deal. Call Lucy she's the closer!
