We had the pleasure of working with Basak recently, and we can't recommend her highly enough! Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. Her communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and promptly addressing any questions or concerns. Thanks to her hard work, we found the perfect home at a great price. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent, look no further than Basak Cakici!

I moved into the house next door to Basak Cakici 15 years ago and that was a lucky move for me! In addition to being a friend and neighbor, Basak continues to be an excellent advisor on anything relating to my house. She gives great advice on paint colors and rug-buying. She connects me with excellent contractors when I need a plumber or repair person. When the fence between our houses needed repair a few years ago, I watched how assertively Basak interacted with the fence company to get the job done exactly right. She is cheerful, efficient and most of all, smart. Last year, I considered buying a different home and engaged Basak as my realtor. She went to bat for me 100%. A few months later, when I changed my mind and decided NOT to buy, she was fine with my decision. Basak is a true professional: She sees her job as helping her clients get what THEY want.

We are first time buyers and we didn’t know much about the whole transaction process. After we decided on the house, Basak was really helpful in many aspects of the whole process. Including creating offers and counter offers, inspection and many ins and outs of this big transaction. She also developed a good relationship with the sellers and their agent representing us perfectly. So, the sellers picked us without meeting with us even though we didn’t offer the highest bid. Basak is helpful and committed. We recommend her for anyone aiming for an easy and successful experience buying and selling their houses.

We've known Basak since our kids were in daycare together! Now, both our girls are at university, and our friendship and bond has grown deeper over the years. To me, Basak is a great friend, a wonderful mother to her two lovely children, and an incredibly talented designer/architect. Years ago, she designed and completely transformed our outdoor space to an oasis of color and calmness. This year, she completely reimagined our kitchen, bath and living room spaces . Our modest house is now open and light, yet intimate and warm at the same time. Words can't adequately describe the power of great design and architecture to transform how we live in our spaces. I think Basak is one of those rare people who can translate a homeowner's dreams of how we want our space to feel into reality.

It was a pleasure to work with Basak and her team to purchase our first house. Basak supported and motivated us quickly to get us into our new home. We met Basak at an open house and within a week and got connected. Then we were approved for our loan, found our house, wrote our offer, and was accepted, all just in one week, which is not the story with our housing market! It was a long and new process once accepted, but Basak was open to all our questions and helped us get the right contractors and inspectors to be sure we were aware and knowledgeable on all parts of our new home. We are so thankful to have had such a hardworking, positive, and responsive realtor on our team, and guiding us into our first home! We would definitely recommend Basak to others who are eager and excited to take steps towards purchasing a home in the Bay Area. So much appreciation Basak!

The Beard Realty Team, and in particular Stephen and Basak, were invaluable during the emotionally and logistically difficulty process of remodeling and selling my mother’s house during Covid. I and my sisters chose them over other realtors because of their integrity, but we also got Stephen’s deep experience and extensive market knowledge along with Basak’s architectural and design skills and her respect for our family and the house. They answered all of our questions, resolved issues as quickly as possible, and did everything they could for the marketing campaign. They guided us through the transformation of our childhood home and enabled us to do far more than we ever thought we could, and we were really pleased with the results. I will definitely use them again if I ever need a real estate agent.
