We had been searching for a home for a long time and we were starting to think it would never happen for us. Then we met Nikki. She walked us through the neighborhoods we were interested in and helped us understand the pros, cons, and what an offer might look like. After years of casually searching for the perfect home, we found one we absolutely love within a month! Truly a dream come true!

Nikki was a great shepherd in our home buying process. She found us what we wanted and plus she was able to give us great advice on what we needed to do. Really happy with our purchase and I'd love to work with her again if we ever needed to sell our property or buy a new one.

My husband and I just bought our very first and hopefully forever home in Oakland, and I truly believe it would not have been possible without the expertise and guidance from Nikki Yumul. She has been incredibly knowledgeable and has a knack for explaining the home buying process in a way that was easy to understand and not too overwhelming, especially for first time homebuyers. Nikki was constantly in touch with us regarding potential properties and went out of her way to take videos of homes we could not step away to see due to our demanding work schedules. During house visits and open houses she would play with our toddler so my husband and I could focus on looking at the home. She kept our shared google doc constantly updated with new homes that might fit our requirements. We had worked with other realtors who did none of those things; it is clear that her willingness to go the extra mile is the reason why we were able to achieve our goal of buying a home. The home itself was not one we found ourselves - it was a recommendation from Nikki that she found through her own connections. The second we walked in my husband and I knew this was our house and we were working on our offer after 20 minutes of first stepping foot in the home. We ended up closing within 20 days - so incredibly fast! I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a home to work with Nikki - she puts her all in helping you find your home and is willing to help in any way she can to make the process as easy and seamless as possible. Thank you Nikki!

Working with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their real estate agent, Nikki Yumul, was amazing. From our very first conversation, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. They took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Their communication was excellent—always responsive, clear, and proactive—so we felt informed and confident at every step of the process. What really set them apart was their deep understanding of the local market. They provided honest advice and thoughtful insights that helped us make smart decisions. When challenges came up, they handled everything calmly and efficiently, always offering solutions and keeping things moving forward. It was clear they truly had our best interests in mind. Beyond their expertise, they were simply a pleasure to work with—friendly, patient, and supportive. Buying or selling a home can be stressful, but they made the entire experience smooth and even enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and are incredibly grateful for their dedication and hard work. I would highly recommend this realtor to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and dependable professional.

We had the pleasure of working closely with Nikki for the purchase of our home. Nikki was kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. We ran into a few obstacles out of our control, and Nikki was quick to remedy the situations with professionalism and a smile on her face the entire time. We strongly recommend working with Nikki if you’re considering purchasing a home, and we will be referring everyone we know to her in the future!

World class customer service.

Her support and expertise made the entire process seamless and far less overwhelming, and we are truly grateful to have had her by our side during such an important milestone.
