Dear Prospective Buyers -

In 2009 while living and working in Southern California, we decided to move back to Northern California. For a few months, one of us would fly north and look at homes that were on the market, and on one of these visits Dan met Priscilla Rice at an open house. While the home was not suited for us, Priscilla Rice was clearly an agent who was knowledgeable, experienced and trustworthy, so we began working with her exclusively to recommend listings that worked best for us.

For two years, we met repeatedly with Priscilla, and finally in 2011 we closed on exactly the home we were looking for, the house that suited our entire family and in a neighborhood we love. During these two years, Priscilla was honest and direct, particularly during the competitive bidding process. Most importantly, she never deserted us. The closing process was a little more complicated because we were living in Berlin in 2011, but Priscilla made sure that all of the signatures and forms were completed so that we could come back to Berkeley and move into our new home.

We unequivocally recommend Priscilla Rice to anyone buying a home in the East Bay. She will be direct and clear about the deficiencies in the property you are interested in, and because of her experience in construction as a member of Seven Sisters Construction, she is knowledgeable and realistic about any additional financial resources that might be required after purchase. She is thorough and meticulous, but most importantly, she is generous, kind and patient. And she has a marvelous sense of humor! Whether you are a first-time buyer or you have experience purchasing a house, you can depend on Priscilla Rice to make the entire process a success.

Sincerely,
Dan Viele and Claudia Stanger

"Priscilla is wonderful and really looks out for her clients. She worked diligently to help us find a home all the way from the east coast. She’d even do home walkthroughs at open houses via FaceTime!! She’s trustworthy and very knowledgeable and was very patient with us as we were totally unfamiliar with the crazy Bay Area real estate market. You can’t go wrong with Priscilla!!"

"My partner and I had some very specific, challenging requirements for the house and lot we were seeking in the Bay Area. Plus we had to travel from Sacramento area each time we wanted to view properties. Priscilla never failed to provide us a selection of strong possibilities, homes that met most of our criteria right off the bat and that could, with a little imagination, be adapted to meet the rest. Being the fussy homebuyers we are, and not having any deadline, our looking lasted several months. Over that time Priscilla was constantly finding appealing new places for us to see, was consistently enthusiastic about taking us around to see them, and always boosted our spirits by her sheer enjoyment of the process. We would strongly recommend Priscilla to anyone looking to find the right home for their tastes and needs."

I grew up in the East Bay and know many agents. Priscilla is the old friend of an old friend, and thus the person we chose to sell a house four of us owned. I did not know her--but I am ever so grateful. Imagine working with four sellers. Imagine that we kept finding people who wanted to buy the house w/o it going on the market. Imagine those four sellers living next door, so in your hair 24/7! Priscilla handled all of it with grace and precision, kept us on track, worked her tail off, and was as charming and competent with the buyers as she was with us. What you want in a realtor is absolute honesty and the ability to communicate. It's a giant plus if that person loves people. That's what you get with Priscilla. Highly recommended--you will not be disappointed.
