We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Roland and his team to purchase our dream home. From the very first day through closing, the entire process was incredibly smooth, organized, and well planned. Roland was always responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and informative. He took the time to clearly explain every step of the home buying process, helped us understand the disclosures and all the important details, and made sure we always knew what was happening and what came next. What we appreciated most was how well Roland understood what my wife and I were looking for. He listened to our needs and preferences and helped us find a home that truly feels tailored to us, not just any house, but the right one. Buying a home can be stressful and complicated, but Roland and his team made the entire experience feel straightforward and manageable. We always felt supported and well informed, from our initial search all the way through getting the keys. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and the experience we had. We highly recommend Roland and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Five stars without hesitation!

When my wife and I bought a home on Mare Island, Lydia Osage-Smith was the seller's agent. We knew then and there that we wanted to engage her to sell our home when the time came. Sooner than we expected that time came, and each step of the way she came proactively prepared. We attribute her expertise to getting exactly what we wanted for our home relying on her extensive experience in the area. Not only is she and her team professional and knowledgeable, but also some of the kindest and warmest people you will ever meet. If you're looking to buy or sell, you won't go wrong with this team. They understand the ins and outs, and how much a home (and the buying/selling process) can really mean to families like ours.

We couldn't have asked for a better team than Roland and Lydia to help us sell our home and buy our new one. They were honest and attentive every step of the way, always ready to answer questions and keep things moving smoothly. Beyond being great at their jobs, they're just genuinely lovely people to work with. They went above and beyond for us, and we're so grateful!

From day one, meeting with Roland and Lydia, we knew we were in great hands. Their presentation was thorough, professional, and gave us complete confidence in the process. The weekly phone calls to walk us through each step of preparing our home for sale were seamless, supportive, and incredibly helpful. We were impressed with every aspect of the journey and appreciated how smoothly everything came together to achieve our goal of selling our home. The custom marketing videos they created showcased our home beautifully—we absolutely loved them! We wholeheartedly recommend Roland and Lydia to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We would gladly refer them to our friends and family and are truly grateful for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication.

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky and appreciative to have worked with Roland Osage and his team. As first-time homebuyers, we could not have asked for a better guide through the process. Roland was patient, attentive, enthusiastic, and consistently clear in his communication, helping us understand each step while also giving us thoughtful, professional feedback when we needed it most. He listened carefully to our needs and wants, and struck the perfect balance throughout the process; everything felt completely catered to who we are and what we were looking for. We toured many, many houses on this journey, and every home Roland personally selected made me think, “Man, this guy really gets us.” We attribute all of the success we had in finding a great home to his guidance, judgment, and support. I could keep going, but I’ll just say this: I enjoyed the collaboration so much that I want to buy another house just to keep working with him.

Working with Lydia was truly the best experience we could have ever asked for! My fiancé and I originally met with Roland to talk about buying a home sometime in the future. We thought homeownership was still a ways off, but Roland and his team made it happen much sooner than we ever imagined. From the very beginning, they gave us confidence that our dream was possible. Once we started working with Lydia, the ball started rolling quickly—in the most beautiful way. She helped us prepare and stage the condo we owned, and thanks to her guidance, it sold in just 9 days! The entire process felt smooth, organized, and stress-free. As first-time homebuyers, we had so many questions and moments of uncertainty, but Lydia was always just a phone call away. She was incredibly patient, kind, honest, and genuine throughout every step of the journey. She never made us feel rushed or pressured and always took the time to explain things so we felt comfortable and informed. When it came time to find our new home, Lydia supported us every step of the way and helped us find everything we were looking for. She truly listened to what mattered to us and worked tirelessly to make sure we found the perfect fit. As young first-time homeowners, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through this process. Lydia made what felt like a distant dream become a reality. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in the people she works with. We are so grateful for Lydia and the entire team. If you’re looking for a realtor who will support you, advocate for you, and make the process feel exciting instead of overwhelming, Roland, Lydia and their team are the people you need!

Roland is an outstanding realtor. Call him now...you won't be sorry. We knew we in capable hands from the very start when Roland (and Lydia) sat down with us to see our home and discuss how we could make the most money possible while still having a good experience with the transition to our new home. Roland has endless resources for home improvement, is clear and honest in his communication style, and is no slouch on social media either. In other words, he is very up to date on the world of real estate...it seems like he lives it. And, he's genuine and hands on (I would frequently run into him at the house we sold when I'd come over to check up it myself). Call him! You'll be glad you did.

Lydia was a perfect choice in a realtor for us. She helped us make just the right number of improvements to our home of 27 years and we sold it for a healthy profit in a matter of days on the market. She is experienced, calm yet confident, and her track record proves that. We never felt hesitant to reach out to her when we had multiple questions (sometimes in one day), and we strongly recommend her to anyone.

Lydia and Roland were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. They helped me purchase a property, and after I remodeled it, they both stepped in again to help me sell it. Within just 11 days of putting it on the market, we had it sold! Their knowledge, responsiveness, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate their guidance and professionalism throughout both the buying and selling process. Highly recommend working with them if you want results!

It was a pleasure working with Roland and Lydia! My clients fell in love with a home they listed. The process was smooth and quick. My clients were thrilled to purchase this home and also in a multiple offer situation. I'm grateful that Roland and Lydia trusted me and my clients with this transaction. I appreciate them and their client so much and I look forward to working with them again. Thank you Roland and Lydia!

Working with Roland for my first home purchase was one of the best decisions I could make. Roland and the Client Care team were prepared from the start to handle various requests from my lender, coordinate a list of home-related inspectors, and conduct virtual calls when I was unable to meet in person. Before working with Roland, I followed his work on TikTok and dreamt of living in a home that he described. A home with true character, timeless elegance, and warmth. Now I can wake up and live that dream. My advice to the viewer is, never be afraid to reach out to your favorite realtor when you're ready to buy your home. The answer might be no. If you don't ask, then the answer is always no. Believe in yourself, come prepared, and leave the rest to the dream team.

I had the pleasure of working with Roland during the recent sale of a house we owned in Oakland’s Lakeshore district. I couldn’t be happier with entire experience. Roland and his team were very knowledgeable, super engaged, and had a very in depth understanding of this market. Basically everything they did and said went according to plan and I have no doubt they got us the best outcome possible. Would highly recommend.

As a first time home buyer I consider myself so luck to have worked a realtor like Roland. He was kind, approachable, and incredibly informative without ever being stuffy or overwhelming. He explained everything clearly and thorough enough to truly understand the process. I was pretty indecisive at times, yet Roland always made me feel welcome to ask questions and seek advice without any pressure or judgment. Overall, the experience was smooth, supportive, and full of good vibes. I’d gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares.

Lydia is amazing! She will fight tooth and nail for you and be very involved every step of the way. She is a gem of a person and the type of realtor who feels like a family member fighting for you. I definitely have high praise for Lydia for helping me and she is a must choice for any buyer looking for realtors who truly care about making a change in peoples' lives.

Working with Roland and his team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He is incredibly accommodating and consistently went out of his way to fit showings and calls into our schedule. His level of expertise is immediately clear—he knows the market inside and out and offered valuable insights at every step. What impressed me most is how honest and thorough he is. Roland doesn’t sugarcoat things; he calls out potential issues with homes right away, even ones I never would’ve noticed. It’s clear he truly cares about helping his clients make the right decision, not just closing a deal. If you want a realtor who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your best interest, Roland is the one to choose.

Lydia is an amazing professional. She knows her craft and very attentive to the needs of the client. She went way beyond her duty as far as making sure all details of the transactions were perfect. Thank you, Lydia for a job well done and plus.

Working with Lydia Osage was truly an incredible experience. She helped us find our very first home, and as first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn. We met her at a viewing and instantly appreciated her welcoming and genuine approach. After sharing our information, she followed up with a beautifully made informational presentation that taught us so much about the home-buying process—things we didn’t even know we needed to know.Lydia is extremely knowledgeable about the East Bay Area and homes in general. Every little quirk or detail about a property, she knew. She was available to us every step of the way, always patient, always supportive. She guided us through placing multiple offers and negotiated on our behalf so well. Even though we didn’t get the first homes we tried for, she never gave up on us, and we eventually landed the home we truly wanted. She negotiated our final offer so skillfully that we got everything we hoped for.Lydia—and her son, who works alongside her—are truly exceptional at what they do. She is helpful, professional, dedicated, and genuinely cares about her clients. I wish more people knew about her, because she made our first home-buying experience better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful for her!

Roland is an amazing realtor! He's a local area expert, brings insightful perspectives to properties and valuations, and is super dialed in to client needs. He acted with our best interests as a buyer amidst the craziness of the East Bay housing market. The consummate professional and just a really good guy. Highly recommend.

Lydia and the entire team was highly professional, responsive and met my needs. I am impressed with the tools they used and the transparency displayed throughout the entire process. Lydia always offered solutions to whatever arose and I am pleased with how quickly and smoothly the sale went.
