I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough! My girlfriend and I were first time home buyers and were a bit overwhelmed by the process, but she was there for us every step of the way. It was a long process, but she was patient and never made us feel rushed or pressured.
She took the time to really get to know us and our preferences, and was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. She was also extremely knowledgeable about the local market and was able to guide us in making informed decisions, even as our preferred areas areas shifted.
In the end, we found the home we were meant to find and we love it. Nicole & her team were instrumental in making this happen and we are so grateful for her hard work and dedication!

I had an excellent experience working with Team Schuler. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and truly knew the Bay Area market inside and out.
They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and guided me through every step of the process with patience and clarity. Communication was always prompt, and I never felt left in the dark about any detail.
What stood out most was their strong negotiation skills and honest advice, which made a real difference in getting the best outcome. The entire process felt smooth and well-managed, even in a competitive market.
I would confidently recommend Team Schuler to anyone buying or selling a home in the Bay Area. Five stars all the way.

I rarely write testimonials, but Erik and Team Schuler are EXCEPTIONAL! Erik is laser-focused on business, quick-witted, and has an eye for all the details needed in this competitive environment. He always kept me informed, had my back, and prioritized my best interests above all else.
Erik and Team Schuler possess all the essential business attributes, including integrity, in-depth market knowledge, negotiation skills, business acumen, and are highly experienced in all aspects of negotiating complex deals.
In all my years of representing clients on the sales and buying side, it’s hard to find another quality professional who met my expectations or exceeded them. I look forward to working with Erik and Team Schuler again for sure!

We are so glad we went with Laura as our Agent, both for the trust sale of my family home and the buying of my first home. With her knowledge of the market we devised a winning timeline for the sale to maximize our profits. When it was time to get the house ready, she moved at lightning speed getting the house ready and shown and really made it shine in time for the hottest moment in the market. When we were ready to look for ourselves to buy she was helpful in showing us option after option as we honed in on what we wanted in a house. She was consistently available to show us properties and answer any questions we had about the process. She was forthcoming and honest about the properties and what problems to look out for. We became savvy home shoppers under her tutelage. On both sides of the process Laura was there for us with answers we needed to make the best decisions on our journey to home ownership.

We have both purchased and sold a home with Erik and his team and the service provided exceeded our expectations which compels me to write this review. The things that stand out were the high standard of communication throughout the whole process, honesty and integrity, and their ability to execute tasks efficiently. Not only that, Eric is an Alameda native and has a wealth of knowledge about the area and market which was so beneficial when selecting our new home and negotiating sales both ways. Team Schuler really provide a complete service and I would 100% request their services again and recommend them to friends and family.

Nicole was a dream to work with. Her knowledge of the market was invaluable. Knowing what to highlight and what the buyers are looking for in a home is essential. If I had questions or concerns she was always quick to answer. Nicole understood my circumstances and made sure I was informed at every step. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a true professional that understands both the market and how to treat the clients needs. She and her team took care of everything which left me free to handle all the other details of moving.

Karen Ng and the Compass Team Schuler assisted us in buying a new build condo in Alameda. Karen also helped us find and bid on several properties around alameda. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market in this area and is very friendly and good to work with as first time home buyers. She took the time to explain every step of the home buying process to us. Karen is also extremely responsive and friendly, which we appreciated during the closing process. We were glad to have Karen on our team and would highly recommend her.

Erik did an excellent job in helping me find a house within my budget. As a first-time buyer, I often felt overwhelmed and doubtful that I would be successful in today’s market. Erik and his team helped me stay optimistic and assisted with all aspects of my purchase. Erik was incredibly responsive when I reached out with questions regarding the purchase process. He also has great recommendations for local trades people. Erik and his team made a very stressful process as comfortable as possible, with no pressure.

I had the pleasure of working with Karen Campos as my realtor, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Karen's dedication, expertise, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. She not only found me the perfect house but also navigated the entire process with professionalism and a personal touch. Karen's commitment to her clients is evident, making the home-buying experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Karen Campos to anyone seeking a top-notch realtor.

He's professional but also fun to work with. He's very knowledgeable and patient with all the questions we had. I highly recommend Erik with your next purchase or if you are looking for an agent to sell your home!

Erik is the most professional real estate agent I've met. He's knowledgeable, not only of everything about purchasing a home, but also the history of local community, the architecture and design. Erik thinks in your place, while thinking ahead of you. He proposes solutions for you, while letting you make the right decision. He has all the resources you need, most importantly the houses yet to hit market. My review on Erik coincides with my belief: knowledge is power, information is money.

She is really good at knowing exactly what the client wants and good at picking property that will fit your needs. With Laura and Eric you will be in really good hands in finding the home of your dreams!

Erik and Nicole handled the sale of an investment property in Alameda, CA as perfectly as I could imagine, from dealing with the tenants to preparing the house for sale to soliciting offers and to guiding the sale through the complex process that baffles ordinary people (I am an attorney). I can recommend them without hesitation for anyone engaged in real estate purchase or sale.

Team Schuler helped me buy a home in the Bay Area. This is a crazy competitive market & the folks here helped me navigate a long and winding path to a successful home purchase. My search took about a year so I got to know my real estate agent - Laura Meith - really well. I also met other folks on the team, everyone of them friendly, smart & super helpful. They’re the best partners you could have!
~ Paula D
Team Schuler is one of the top teams in the East Bay. Professional negotiators on both sides of a transaction. They are as creative as they come and are surrounded by the best team; from getting your home ready to sell and designing your open house to escrow or the best lender, they know where to direct you to get your transaction closed. Why wouldn’t I recommend them?
~ Richard P
Erik Schuler was an amazing real estate agent. His team represented us for the purchase of a home in Orinda. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local market, provided prescriptive advice on which houses would yield better long term value, and worked to negotiate a great deal on our behalf. We would work with Erik again in a heartbeat should we decide to sell and/or purchase again!
