"I’m not sure there is enough space in this Zillow review to comment on Ann Cane’s expertise in residential real estate in Lamorinda and Piedmont. Ann knows the market deeply, has a deep network of relationships, and I can’t emphasize strongly enough her execution skills. More importantly, Ann works every aspect of her deals with the highest integrity. She is truly “best of the best!” I’ve done three transactions with Ann - sold a home, bought a home, bought a “take down” home. All great transactions due to Ann’s hard work."

"Ann was a great agent in a time where having a great agent matters more than ever. She hustled on our behalf at every turn and went the extra mile to make sure we saw every listing possible that fit our criteria. We found our dream home because of Ann and give her our highest recommendation!"

"Ann was extremely responsive and helpful during our 6-month, quite specialized, higher-end search. In a strong seller's market, attempting to be choosy (as we were) can be frustrating. Nonetheless, Ann was willing to show us home after home...but perhaps more importantly, was able to use her relationships and persistence to get us into several homes before they were listed on the MLS (one of which we purchased). Beyond her expertise, she is a joy to work with, is a good listener, and also recognizes that unless you build the house yourself, it is unlikely that you will find a home that checks EVERY box on your want-list. Highly recommended."

"Ann is one of the most intelligent and savvy real estate professionals I have ever met. She was instrumental in representing our interests in two complex transactions, and was a tireless advocate for our family. I cannot overstate her value as a trusted agent."

"Ann Newton Cane is honest, hard working and listens to what YOU want. With Ann we bought the house we were looking for and she followed up on all of our questions promptly and completely. What an amazing experience to work with someone who was patient, caring and stayed with us to the end. We also made a friend for life!"

"Ann is a rockstar! During the pandemic we decided to uproot our lives and move. Ann helped us navigate a VERY competitive marketplace and got us into our dream family home! She was hustling for us and willing to get creative to help in any way she could! She was also wonderful when we had to bring our two little kids to see homes. She has also helped others I know sell their homes and is very professional and reliable. It is an absolute no brainer to use Ann for your home buying or selling needs!"

"Ann is a total rockstar. She’s very knowledgeable, honest & has a lot of integrity. I highly recommend her. Not only does she work hard, she’s very thorough thru the entire process. She sold me a house that I totally love during Covid. The entire process was seamless. I would totally use Ann in future real estate needs!!"

"We've bought and sold numerous houses over the years, sometimes without a broker at all. However, our last property wouldn't sell and so we decided to hire Ann to see if she could help. We had multiple families interested in no time. She saturated the market with details about the property, helped us stage it beautifully, and was a master at timing and generating interest from multiple buyers at once. I really couldn't recommend Ann highly enough."

"There is more to buying a home in Lamorinda than the transaction. It is a nerve-wracking, emotionally exhausting experience during which your agent is occasionally your counselor, sometimes your confidante, and at all times a trusted partner. Ann was that partner to us in a search that lasted over a year and several dozen homes. During that time, she has become a part of our family. Her care of us did not end with the purchase of our home – her resources were essential in what was in the end, a complicated transaction. We cannot imagine having gone through this with anyone else. We recommend her without reservation!"

"If you’re looking for an agent who is only willing to take underpriced and easy listings, or if you’re looking for an agent who cares more about buddying-up to other agents than satisfying her client, then Ann Newton Cane is NOT the right agent for you.
But Ann IS the right agent for you if you’re looking for an agent who is ready to fight for you; who tells you the truth (even if it may not be what you want or hope to hear initially); who believes in her own judgment; who cares about getting the highest price for a seller, and the best deal possible for a buyer; who believes that working hard is the only way to get the best result for a client; who invests in marketing a property and is not content simply to rely on an MLS listing; and who uses the best marketing tools and marketing materials.
Thank you, Ann, for working so hard to sell my house. Eight other agents tried and failed to do it, and you not only succeeded, but fulfilled my every hope. The positive energy you brought to the table, in combination with your experience in marketing high-end homes, lead to a great result. I really appreciate everything you did for me, and I strongly recommend you to all my friends and family – and anyone else who will listen!"

"After speaking with a number of potential real estate agents, a friend recommended Ann because of her client-centered approach--high-touch and focused on helping her clients achieve their goals. Our experience with her was exactly that. From the moment we reached out to Ann, her responsiveness set her apart from the other agents with whom we had previously spoken. Ann not only quickly made herself available to us to survey the market and purchase a home but she also tapped into her deep network coordinating inspections and repairs prior to closing. Thereafter, she continued to remain engaged connecting us to professionals to help with maintenance and upgrades. Being new to this community, it was wonderful to not only be able to rely on her to resolutely pursue our goals but also to have her support after our transaction had closed. Because of our experience, we highly recommend working with Ann Cane at Sotheby’s."

"I would like to thank, and share my favorable transactional experience with you on Ann Newton Cane for her services as “MY” realtor. Ann has provided me with vision about market conditions both in Orinda and Walnut Creek, guided me through multiple home transactions in the past year, as both BUYER and SELLER with extremely favorable results. Ann took ownership of the marketing effort, investing her time and money in obtaining for me the best price possible (both as BUYER and SELLER) the best possible timing. In my recent purchase, Ann was able to negotiate an attractive price tied to my contingent offer, a rarity in a hot market like this one: Result? I got my dream house to retire on. I have been in service business for 50 years and have been very successful. It takes a good one to know one. Finally, I have come to count Ann as a friend. Property transactions can be stressful, and yet in all of our meetings and calls Ann made me smile and laugh. Anyone would do well to have Ann as a representative, ally, and friend."

"Given the rapid changes and unexpected challenges that arose during the sale as a consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic, I was impressed with Ann's ability to quickly adjust to the circumstances to both inform us about and comply with local requirements for real estate transactions. Ann was prompt and proactive in providing information. I would unhesitatingly recommend Ann as a knowledgeable and dedicated professional."

"Ann Newton Cane and her team at Sotheby's International Realty were wonderful to work with on the sale of our home in Lafayette. The thought of selling our home was such an intimidating process given the challenging real estate environment. We needed guidance from someone with deep experience who we could trust, and who would listen to our concerns and the list of "must have" items we required from the buyer before we would agree to selling our house. Ann and her team made the process manageable, which was so important to us, but most of all, we loved the result. Ann gave us accurate guidance on pricing, understood the dynamics of our neighborhood and community, and helped us focus on the repairs and improvements required to make our house attractive to the largest group of potential buyers. Ann and her team coordinated the work to be done, and were with us every step of the way, which made the process run smoothly. She worked on our schedule, which included several delays which we requested to allow us to travel and attend to personal matters. The results achieved exceeded our high expectations. Within days of putting our house on the market we had four offers over the asking price. We highly recommend Ann and her team for anyone who is selling their home."

"Ann helped us sell our home and purchase our next home. She was always very responsive and was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the process. When faced with difficult questions needing local help, we could turn to Ann who could immediately respond with the right people to pull in with professional expertise, and they responded quickly due to their utmost respect for Ann's professionalism, allowing our transactions to proceed on track. With Ann, you have a trusted advisor with a career's worth of experience of guiding clients and working with sellers & buyers and their agents to help bring everyone to the finish line with successful results. We couldn't be happier with choosing Ann to be our advisor."
