Eastside West ~ Becky Cusack, Broker

Fantastic experience: I have now worked with Becky and Eastside West on two real estate transactions. One of them was quite complicated with many moving parts and Becky pulled it off seamlessly. I was amazed. She has a network of support pieces around her that allow her and her team to get through the processes quickly, and thus she can keep the process simple and tidy for her clients and minimize (what could be) a stressful process. Her and her team will always be my go to for any future real estate related needs or transactions.

Fantastic experience: Becky was our eye in the calm of the storm. She listeneded to what we had to say and were able to codevelop a winning strategy given our unique circumstances. And her team was stellar. A wonderful experience all around.

Fantastic experience: Becky Cusack is the real deal. After carefully listening to our situation, she laid out a clear strategy for selling our Alameda home — and then executed it flawlessly. She priced it perfectly and we received multiple offers above asking. Throughout the process, her communication was timely and transparent. If you’re looking for an agent with genuine integrity and proven results, look no further. We’d work with Becky again without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Becky is thoughtful, strategic, highly responsive, and deeply knowledgeable about the real estate market. We would confidently recommend Becky Cusack to anyone looking to sell a home in Contra Costa County who wants a trusted, creative, and highly skilled listing agent and real estate professional.

Fantastic experience: We interviewed several realtors before deciding to work with Becky Cusack and Sally Han because of their deep Alameda real estate market knowledge, strategic approach, and their ability to support us through the process of selling our Victorian home on Grand Street in Alameda while we were still living there. From the beginning, Becky and Sally were thoughtful, responsive, strategic, and supportive. They guided us through the right amount of property preparation to maximize value and secure top dollar for our Alameda property without overspending unnecessarily. Throughout the process, they consistently provided us with options and recommendations while honoring our wishes and priorities every step of the way. One of the things we appreciated most was their “Stay Staged” approach, which allowed us to present our home using our existing furnishings while enhancing the space with thoughtful design recommendations and accessories. This strategy helped us avoid the high cost of traditional staging while still creating exceptional marketing for our Victorian home sale. Ultimately, Becky and Sally successfully sold our Alameda Victorian off-market, secured top dollar, negotiated a rent back after the close of escrow, and helped us remain in the property with our proceeds safely in the bank while we prepared for a cross-country move. Because of their strategic negotiation and transaction management, we were able to avoid the stress of trying to move within the timeline of our eight-day close of escrow. They navigated every detail of the transaction with professionalism, calm communication, and genuine care. Along the way, we truly became friends, and we would confidently recommend Becky Cusack and Sally Han to anyone looking for trusted, creative, highly skilled Alameda listing agents and real estate professionals to sell any Alameda property. — Simon & Michelle

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Becky! She made selling our home an absolute breeze. Before choosing a realtor, I researched top agents in the area and interviewed four of them. While each was impressive in their own way, Becky stood out immediately with her expertise, experience, and strategic approach. Becky and I clicked right away, and she was like a trusted friend always reassuring us we were in good hands. Even as we were overwhelmed with our move to the East Coast and the process of buying a new home, she made selling our current home feel effortless. She handled every detail, kept us informed at every step, and always made sure we were aligned on decisions. Our house also looked incredible thanks to her guidance on updates and staging. I would recommend her 1000%, you won't be disappointed :)

Fantastic experience: We hired Becky because of her deep knowledge of the Harbor Bay and Alameda real estate market. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the right listing agent to guide us through the process. She provided a clear, comprehensive plan and a detailed prep list, then brought in her trusted vendors to handle key updates like painting and lighting. She managed everything efficiently and made the home preparation process straightforward. We initially planned to live in the house and then a few months in, we changed our minds and decided to move out, complete the updates, professionally stage, and list on the MLS. Becky didn’t skip a beat and updated her plans to suit our needs. When Becky identified an opportunity to sell our home off-market through her network and still achieve top dollar, we trusted her strategy and pivoted again. She "stay-staged" our home, marketed it privately to qualified buyers, and while we were out of the house with our dogs, she generated two strong offers in one day. She then negotiated both offers up to top dollar. Becky is strategic, organized, resourceful, and extremely knowledgeable. She is quick to react and deliberate in execution, and always considerate of our time, space, and mental headspace. She brings a positive energy to everything she does and honestly could moonlight as a therapist. If you are looking for a top real estate agent in Alameda or Harbor Bay who can deliver strong results, manage every detail, and make the process smooth and efficient, Becky is the one to call.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Becky Cusack and Betsy Fedewa at Eastside West to sell my home in Harbor Bay, Alameda. They were the epitome of a trusted advisor. I give them my highest recommendation - especially for a complex transaction. I am an attorney, and throughout the sale I had other attorneys copied on the file. From the outset, I made it clear that precise documentation and transparency were critical. Becky and Betsy not only understood that expectation, they exceeded it. Their documentation, communication, and internal processes were exceptional. In fact, my attorney colleagues specifically commented that their protocols and communication were among the best they had seen from Realtors. Becky and Betsy advised me every step of the way and executed a smart, aggressive strategy tailored to a very specific timeline I needed to meet. I'm very data-driven and I constantly peppered them with data to understand what was happening in the local and broader real estate market. They met my expectations each time. Their knowledge of the Harbor Bay and Alameda real estate market was evident throughout the process. With conditions tilted toward buyers, it seemed to me that buyers are more jittery than ever. Indeed, when the non-contingent buyer attempted to cancel the contract during escrow, Becky and Betsy handled the situation with skill and confidence, bringing the buyer back to the table without costing me an additional penny - and we still closed on time. Eastside West is professional, strategic, and exceptionally capable. If you are selling a home in Harbor Bay or Alameda and need agents who can manage legal complexity, tight timelines, and inevitable bumps in the road, these are absolutely the people you want in your corner. I'm so very glad they were in mine.

Fantastic experience: Becky helped us sell our house in the fall of 2025. It was an uncertain time in the market, and we were on an accelerated, stressful (to us) timeline. Becky guided us through the process and created a plan involving many contractors coordinating together. We weren't sure that we would get our house on the market in time, but everything came together in the last week. Her marketing materials and outreach were top-notch, and the staging looked impeccable. When we started receiving preemptive offers, things got a bit confusing, and she thoughtfully laid out the options and strategies, putting us in a good position to make a clear decision amid ambiguity. There were a few minor hiccups along the way as there would be in any large project, and she handled them with grace and professionalism every time. In short, she is a terrific person and seasoned professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone with a complicated house to sell under a tight deadline!

Fantastic experience: Update December 2025: We just wrapped up our third transaction with Becky, and our appreciation for her only continues to grow. She consistently goes above and beyond—handling every detail, communicating clearly, and delivering information in a transparent and timely manner. Her responsiveness is unmatched, and she always provides thoughtful guidance while ensuring we feel fully empowered to make the final decisions. We trust Becky immensely. She has always guided us with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. When we were purchasing our home during a difficult family health situation, Becky stepped in as a friend first. She took small details and decisions off our plate, checked in on us, and showed up in the way we needed. We knew she had our best interests at heart. Her expertise shines in both the tactical and more complex aspects of buying, selling, negotiating and coordinating work with trusted vendors. With her and the Eastside West team, we were able to navigate selling and renovating one home while moving into and updating another—something we could not have done without her steady support and strong network. We can’t recommend Becky enough. She is truly a gem, and we are so grateful to have worked with her over the years. We will always turn to Becky and her fantastic team for our real estate needs. Thank you, Becky and Eastside West! We worked with Becky and her team several years ago when purchasing our first home in Alameda. Our entire experience was wonderful. Becky was responsive, communicative and overall so helpful from start to finish. She went above and beyond to help us not only navigate the entire home-buying process, but also with providing local recommendations and even helping us get our daughter into preschool. We are so grateful to have found Becky and will happily refer our friends to her. We absolutely loved working with her and will do so again in the future!

Fantastic experience: We had an exceptional experience working with Becky to sell our home in Alameda. From day one, she was organized, professional, and clearly an expert in the local market. Her pricing strategy, thoughtful guidance on preparing our home, and top-tier marketing attracted an impressive amount of interest. Thanks to her dedication, we sold our home quickly and well above our expectations. Becky communicated proactively, answered every question promptly, and made us feel supported at every step. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who consistently delivers outstanding results, we can’t recommend Becky highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Selling our home at 1232 Bay Street was a big transition for our family, and Becky and Sally proved to be exactly the trusted partners we needed. From the moment we handed them the keys and moved out of state, they balanced our wishes with smart, creative guidance that honored the uniqueness of our historic property—without pushing unnecessary prep. As professionals with high standards, we appreciated how well they took feedback, adapted, and consistently elevated their approach. They handled every detail, went above and beyond in countless small ways, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their strategic marketing—including a well-executed neighborhood preview—generated strong early interest, and within seven days we received a preemptive, far-above-asking offer. Their communication, thoughtful options, and clear execution made it easy to trust them completely. Becky and Sally truly understand both the Alameda and broader luxury markets. They bring sophistication, discretion, and a rare ability to guide a complex transaction with confidence. We’re grateful for their partnership and proud to count ourselves among their raving fans.

Fantastic experience: Working with Becky Cusack to sell a family property in the Gold Coast of Alameda was a wonderful experience. This sale required a great deal of sensitivity and strategy, and Becky handled every aspect with care, professionalism, and heart. She helped in preparing the property for market and launched a beautifully executed marketing campaign resulting in multiple offers well over the listing price after just 11 days on the market. She then negotiated with the buyers to bring us a clean offer at top dollar. Her knowledge of the area is exceptional which was invaluable in all aspects of the sale. Since our entire family lives out of town, Becky became our boots on the ground—overseeing everything from vendor coordination to last-minute details, always going above and beyond the typical role of a Real Estate Broker. Her communication was consistent, clear, and compassionate, and she guided us through every step of the process with integrity and grace. We are incredibly grateful for her support, her strategic mindset, and the kindness she extended to our family. We would recommend Becky wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a true partner in their real estate journey—someone with the skills to deliver results and the heart to make it feel personal.

Fantastic experience: As the child of a railroad worker, you know it takes a lot of individuals to successfully get a train to the right location at the right time. Becky Cusack was the star that performed every job to sell our home. As the dispatcher she created the to-do list, scheduled every due date, and monitored our progress. As the conductor she coordinated with every workperson required to get our home in perfect condition and worked with all closing personnel to move a mountain of (virtual) paperwork. Finally, as the engineer she not only drove the process but helped us navigate the myriad of signals and challenges that inevitably crossed our path. Our train arrived on time and over list price thanks to Becky!

Fantastic experience: Parting with this fine old Victorian was hard, as it had been in the family for over 50 years-- but it was time. Becky stood out from our short list of Realtor candidates, and we were never disappointed in our choice. She made the complex selling process a breeze for us, keeping us informed every step of the way--her patience and good humor were added benefits! As promised, she quickly manifested the perfect buyers for the home.

Fantastic experience: We interviewed several realtors before choosing Becky and from the start she stood out as a good fit for our needs. She understood our goals and had the professionalism, experience, and confidence we were looking for. She said "take what you love from the house and leave the rest to me”. We handed her the keys to a house with many unwanted belongings still in place and moved out. She took it from there and organized everything - prepped the house, handled vendors, and listed the house in less than a week. We never had to go back. She managed the entire process with care and transparency, negotiated multiple offers, and helped us secure top dollar. Becky is a true partner. She communicates clearly, collaborates openly, and makes the process fun. We can't say enough great things about her and recommend her very highly.

Fantastic experience: I have used Becky Cusack for multiple transactions. I would consider no one else. Becky makes transacting real estate painless. She's an amazing communicator, she's up to the minute in her market awareness and she shepherds the process efficiently and seamlessly. More importantly, Becky manages expectations for what can be a very emotional experience. Should I find myself in a position to buy or sell in the East Bay Area again, I will be using Becky and the team at Eastside West.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Becky Cusack by trusted friends who had worked with her to buy a home in Alamo, California. They spoke so highly of her expertise and professionalism that we reached out to her ourselves. From our first conversation, we knew she was a great fit—not just personality-wise, but also in terms of her deep knowledge of the market and her strategic approach to real estate. Our goal was to buy a home in Alameda, and after researching Becky’s background, we felt confident that she was the right partner to help us navigate the process. She knows every neighborhood, school, and local nuance, which was incredibly helpful in narrowing down our search. Early on, she told us that the more clarity we had about our perfect home, the more likely it was to become a reality. She assured us that when the right house came along, she would help us move strategically and decisively to secure it. That moment came when we found the perfect property on the East End of Alameda. We knew we were walking into a highly competitive situation and ultimately there were nine offers. Becky reassured us that she would leverage her relationships and expertise to position our offer for success. She guided us through every detail, setting clear expectations for offer day, helping us craft a compelling and competitive offer, and negotiating on our behalf with precision and care. Even though we had a maximum budget in mind, Becky skillfully negotiated so that we didn’t have to reach that full amount, yet we still secured the property. She worked in small, strategic increments, ensuring we remained competitive while maintaining financial integrity. Throughout the process, she was incredibly communicative, heart-centered, and truly had our best interests at heart. Thanks to Becky, we were "one and done" with writing offers and we now live in our dream home in the perfect neighborhood, and we couldn’t be happier. But what made this experience even more special is that, through the process, we not only found a trusted real estate partner but also made a friend. Becky is someone we all feel connected to, and we know we will continue our relationship long into the future. We highly recommend Becky to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional who is not only a skilled negotiator but also a great listener, a dedicated advocate, and a wonderful person. She made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless, and we are beyond grateful for her guidance, expertise, and friendship!

Fantastic experience: Selling a family home is an emotional and complex process, and I knew I needed the right realtor to guide me through it. After interviewing five realtors, I chose Becky Cusack—and I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning, Becky made me feel comfortable and confident. She is truly an expert at handling sales like mine, and she assured me she would take care of everything. I trusted her completely, and that trust was absolutely the right move. Becky provided specific, strategic recommendations to ensure we achieved top dollar, and she had a well-thought-out plan to sell the property while being mindful of the holiday season. Everything worked out better than we could have imagined—we received six offers, and the final price exceeded our expectations. Navigating multiple offers can be overwhelming, but Becky took the time to thoroughly explain every option, ensuring I understood the best path forward. She was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, making sure my family and I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Beyond being a top-notch realtor, Becky showed genuine care for my family, and by the end of the process, I not only had a successful sale—I had made a friend. If you are looking to sell in Alameda or anywhere in the Bay Area, I highly recommend Becky Cusack. Her expertise, strategy, and heart-centered approach made all the difference!

Fantastic experience: We have worked with Becky to both buy and sell in real estate outside of Alameda County and she is a true professional. She is administratively strong, creative, strategic, and a great communicator. I would highly recommend Becky and Eastside West to anyone looking for a strong Real Estate partner in the Bay Area.

Fantastic experience: Where to start? Becky was recommended to me by mutual friends. People who I consider family, and it was evident from the first time I spoke with Becky that she was someone I could trust with selling the house that had been my family's home for 53 years. During the elongated process, Becky was a source of information, guidance, and resources. She has an unique understanding of the estate process, and not once did I feel that she was not going to go to the mat for us. She talked us through the steps necessary, answering all questions we had, and steering us in the right direction. When we received a preemptive offer, she presented all of our options without pressure. When we declined that offer, she was fully on board, and when we did put our house on the market, her strategies for our listing paid off, literally and figuratively: We received multiple offers, all over asking. Her strategies brought those offers in, and we sold after just 6 days. Becky's help didn't stop there. Her network of resources helped us clear out the house, deep clean it, and have it ready for the new owners. This was invaluable assistance. With out it, well, I think we would still be packing things up! It was an emotional process, and Becky was there to help us all deal with that. I cannot recommend her highly enough. You cannot go wrong with her. She is genuine, understanding, and a good human being. And now, a friend as well. Hire her!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a licensed Realtor in the Sacramento Area for 17 years. I refer all of my Bay Area Real Estate Business to Becky Cusack. She's the BEST! I can't imagine trusting anyone else with the care of my clients. Her professionalism and communication are unmatched. After you buy or sell a home with Becky, you won't just have a new Realtor, you will also have a friend.

Fantastic experience: Becky and all of the staff at Eastside West are simply the best. Becky does a great job in communicating what to expect, she's super organized and you always feel like she is in your corner. She also gives great advice when it comes to thinking through offers and is super calm and level-headed in stressful situations. I would 100% hire her again!

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience working with Becky to sell my property in Oakland, CA. I’ve known Becky since high school and have always appreciated her trustworthiness and enthusiastic determination. I relocated to the East Coast years ago, and was worried about not being physically present for the preparation and sale of my property. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Becky seamlessly handled every aspect of the selling process. She repeatedly thought of out-of-the-box solutions to complex problems and was consistent, fair, and transparent throughout. Becky looked out for my best interests while guiding me though a quite challenging transaction; I will forever be grateful for her expertise and dedication during this process. I truly cannot recommend Becky and Eastside West enough to anyone looking to sell or buy in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Becky and Robert of Eastside West enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to selling my home. They provided expert guidance on staging, negotiating with vendors, pricing, and they helped us navigate a difficult/unpredictable market. Becky in particular laid out a 360 degree game-plan and to do list for us so that the move and transition into our new home was easy and manageable with our hectic work schedules. Robert gave us incredible advice on the best way to present our home and made sure it was maintained throughout the time it was listed for sale. Becky and Robert were always available to answer our questions and provided updates at every step of the process. Their responsiveness and attention to detail made us feel supported and informed, which is invaluable in a challenging market. If you're looking for realtors who go above and beyond, look no further. Thank you for making this experience smooth and successful! We love you guys!

Fantastic experience: After seeing how Becky helped our neighbors successfully sell their home and transition seamlessly into a new one, we decided to reach out. From the very beginning, Becky was enthusiastic and fully committed to helping us achieve the same outcome. She devised a plan that required us to leave our home for just one day while a designer "stay staged" it. Incredibly, Becky found a buyer for us off-market the very next day. With the sale in motion, we quickly found our next home, and Becky guided us through the contract process. She made sure our interests were fully protected, ensuring we wouldn’t risk losing our deposit or being without a place to live. Her ability to manage both transactions while keeping our goals front and center was impressive. As we’d hoped, everything fell into place, and we only had to make one move. If you're looking for someone who can execute even the most complex real estate strategies and be a true partner in the process, Becky is a terrific resource.

Fantastic experience: Becky represented me over the summer in both a home purchase and a home sale. I literally cannot imagine going through a real estate purchase or sale without her. Becky is knowledgable, responsive, organized and on top of every detail. When obstacles arose (as they always do!) Becky consistently overcame those obstacles with practical, creative solutions. Throughout the whole process, I felt 100% confident that Becky had my back and my best interests in mind. I cannot recommend Becky and the whole team at Eastside West highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Becky did an amazing job. She had a very delicate situation on her hands and she handled it with such grace and professionalism that only the SUPER STAR that she is could have pulled off. The Summer market was a bit wonky and she helped navigate with perfect advice. Sellers need to just follow the process. ☺️ or at least Becky’s process because it’s GOLDEN. Thank you for being authentically you, a Fantastic Broker!!!

Fantastic experience: Becky is an incredible partner when you are looking to sell or buy a house (or both). She's an East Bay native who deeply understands the neighborhoods and the larger real estate trends that are super specific to this part of the Bay Area. She is also extremely flexible and really took the time to listen to our goals and then made magic happen. We could not recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Eastside West and Becky Cusack are incredible! When I tell people the story of us finding our dream home and selling our house within weeks so that we could get it, people say the same thing..."You must of had an amazing realtor." Amazing is an understatement. If you have a chance to work with Becky I would not pass it up- she is warm, honest, strategic, thorough, and most importantly a blast to work with.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Becky buying our house was amazing. Throughout the process we felt well informed and well guided. Becky's commitment to communication, responsiveness, and professionalism is unmatched, and we were confident every step of the way. Even beyond that, we could tell Becky cared about doing what was best for our family, it was more than just a business transaction for her. I can't recommend Becky highly enough and know that we would use her again (and refer her to friends and family) in a heart beat.

Fantastic experience: I met Betsy at an open house last year and she was very friendly and we chatted and agreed to stay in contact. Fast forward to us deciding to sell out house in Alameda. Betsy had provided me some comp info about our house a couple months ago, so I reached out to her. We met with Betsy and Becky to discuss the details and prep to get our home ready. Eastside West is awesome as they helped put us in contact with a stager, handyman, etc… to get our home in the best shape to sell. Betsy and Becky were very communicative throughout the whole process as well as let us know in advance when tasks were needing action from us. We could not be happier with the results, our home was on the market for 12 days and we were happy to get an offer that we accepted. I have recommend Eastside West to my co-workers and friends who are interested in selling/buying in the Bay Area.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Becky by a friend and I met with her to discuss selling a waterfront Alameda property. Becky listened to my needs and laid out a clear plan including a calendar and the property prep she recommended. We set a lofty goal for a sale price and I gave her the keys and she got to work. Becky was very communicative all the way through and we exceeded our stretch goal for a sale price in even less time than we had planned. Most importantly, she made a potentially stressful process easy for me. I would highly recommend Becky to anyone considering selling who seeks a trusted Broker that they can depend on to handle every step of the selling process.

Fantastic experience: The support I experienced with Becky and Sally was wonderful! Throughout the whole process I felt confident that I was in the right hands when it came to selling the house. I was right because we got a great offer on the house. Fantastic real estate agents. Kind, experienced highly knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Becky offered options from the start. She was willing to be flexible and understood what I needed to make this sale happen. One of the major points for me was her willingness to take care of what ever was left in the house. What a relief! And then there is her ability to deal with two owners who do not have the same ideas. She stayed neutral, finessed the rough spots, and everyone came out a winner. She knew when to be assertive and when to step back. The entire experience was made easier with her assistance. You absolutely deserve Broker/Realtor of the year!!! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Professional, prompt and effective service are the hallmarks/ attributes of Eastside West. We had a very complex case in our estate but Becky along with other professionals that she introduced and solved our headaches! Cheers.

Fantastic experience: Becky Cusack and Robert Lupo were a pleasure to work with. They were exceptionally organized and walked us through the selling process from beginning to end, handling any task that came up. Having a complete team backing them up insures the timing and quality match the desires of the client along with the demands of the market. Also a big thanks for the hand holding. Selling the family home of 28 years is so much more than just a transaction!

Fantastic experience: Becky and Sally were an absolutely amazing team. From the very first meeting to handing our keys to the new owners, Becky and Sally, and their entire team, handled every minute detail. We were concerned that selling our home would be overwhelming and intrusive, but it was just the opposite. They searched out buyers, and we quickly had an offer. We highly recommend Eastside West.

Fantastic experience: Becky is a fantastic realtor and her team made our dream of owning a house come true. A huge thank you to both Becky and Melanie! We love our house and appreciate everything you do.

Fantastic experience: I've been trying to think about how to best express how happy I am with my property selling experience, handled by Becky Cusack and her wonderful team at Eastside West properties; and it finally dawned on me that the key word here is HAPPY! From the first meeting, to the very soon to follow conclusion of the sales process, I felt encouraged, optimistic, and happy about the choice I had made, and the way each step proceeded. Becky said "We are going to manifest the perfect buyer for you." My situation was not straightforward. But darned if she didn't do just exactly that, and it all happened so fast, I'm still in awe! I will always be grateful for her excellence in helping me through a very important transition for me and my family.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Becky was fantastic. She clearly has a deeply insightful knowledge of the market. She knew what was needed to maximize the value of our property, she made the whole experience easy, and she was able to accurately predict the outcome as if she had a magic ball. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Fantastic experience: Becky did a great job handling the sale of our property in Alameda. Everything went smoothly with us being spread across the country, in CA, NY, & GA. She provided us with accurate information and suggestions about are sale. I couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: Becky and her team were true professionals and so easy to work with. After trying to sell our home the year prior with very bad results, we were very nervous about starting the process again. But Becky brought in her team of experts and transformed our home with numerous necessary upgrades for a minimal cost, increasing the value and appeal to potential buyers. They were excellent communicators throughout the entire process and kept us updated on all costs and any decisions to be made. We received immediate responses to our questions. Their vendors who came in to do the work and updates were also excellent. Becky had our house ready to show within 2 weeks of vacating the home and after two weekends of open houses, we had multiple offers, over asking price. Becky advised us and we closed with a 17-day escrow, over our asking price. We truly were able to leave the empty house in their hands and not stress or worry. We can't say enough to thank them, and we highly recommend Becky and her team!

Fantastic experience: Becky is an absolute rockstar!! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She definitely made the home buying AND selling process as pain-free as possible. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: We just worked with Becky and her team to successfully sell our house. She was extremely responsive from the start and guided us through the whole process in a very detail-oriented manner. From staging to visits to closing and even after, she and her team have been outstanding. Would recommend without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: Becky and Eastside West were the best. They made both selling AND buying a house as stress free as this kind of transaction can be. I felt heard, supported, and championed the entire time. I sold a house for a price I was thrilled with and bought a house I absolutely love for a price in my budget. Becky and her team are the rare combination of assertive AND caring. They were incredibly professional - always looking out for my best interests - but also wonderfully supportive when I needed some emotional hand holding. Absolutely would recommend Becky and Eastside West to anyone. Really fantastic experience.

Fantastic experience: It was an extremely difficult decision to sell my mothers property this year. Especially knowing the effort to clean and do any renovations. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your teams effort. You are all so professional, patient and respectful. Your team moved with speed and efficiency and every time there was a road block you had 2-3 options to move forward. With the market conditions changing the need to move fast was clear but I never felt pressured. The help getting movers as well as getting storage(you are right we probably should get rid of more:).. was so appreciated being so far away. The choices for remodel were spot on to get the max value for money spent. My wife loved your choices and I know my mother would too. I respected the honest feedback on difficult choices. And your negotiating was spot on. I had flipped houses many years ago so I thought I knew things but realized how good you both were and how little I knew…you all quickly earned my trust.

Fantastic experience: We met Becky Cusack at Eastside West while visiting open houses. We started chatting with Becky informally, and it was an instant connection. Shortly thereafter, we scheduled a meeting with Becky to learn more about her style as a realtor and her team and knew right away we wanted to work with her. Becky is a very experienced realtor who knows the market well (both representing buyer/seller) and she’s just a really fun person to work with – What a gift to feel like you are in competent hands, and to laugh and joke during what can be a very stressful process. Becky was always in communication with us and ensured that we found the home of our dreams. We had a wish list of what we were looking for and Becky helped us navigate a challenging market to come away with a home that is perfect for us. After our home officially closed, we had a short timeline in which we needed to complete projects before move-in. Becky and her team provided contacts for every project, and we were able to get everything done within our planned timeframe before we moved in. Becky and her team went above and beyond even after we closed to help make sure we were set up for success here in Alameda. We are so grateful to Becky and Eastside West for sharing their expertise and always going the extra mile.

Fantastic experience: We partnered with Becky in a long term strategy to upgrade to the perfect home. We were willing to be patient and wait for the perfect opportunity, and Becky was on-board for the journey with us. We planned to sell our current home once we had moved into our new place. We finally found the perfect place and Becky was strategic in helping us write and submit an offer the day before offers were due and we got it accepted! Becky then came to us with a plan that could save us a lot of money. She proposed that we prepare to sell our current house while we were on vacation the following week - she said that the market was HOT and that she thought that if we moved quickly we could get $100,000 more than we initially thought and that if we waited, that might not be the case. In just 1 day, Becky utilized her network to bring us a non-contingent offer with a rent-back that would allow us to close at our target price on our current home, allowing us to secure a more favorable mortgage and avoid a costly bridge loan. We loved working with Becky and consider her a friend and valued counselor. She is strategic, organized, tenacious, and strikes the perfect balance between listening to your needs and challenging assumptions to expand options we didn’t know were possible. We cannot recommend Becky enough! —Mark & Heather K.

Fantastic experience: Becky made the very difficult task of selling my late sister's home, a much easier task. She listens and is attentive not only to the financial aspects of the sale, but also to the personal side of selling a home. I would highly recommend Becky and her staff.

Fantastic experience: Becky is a joy to work with, really, more than a joy, she made the process of buying and selling a house fun! She knows the Alameda market cold, went above and beyond to make our transactions happen, and met every challenge with expertise and optimism. We couldn't have realized our dream wuthout her.

Fantastic experience: Incredible professional insightful real estate company! We definitely made the right choice in choosing Becky and her team to sell our Alameda Bay Farm home.Thank you Becky.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Eastside West team, headed up by Becky Cusack. Becky and team spent close to two months helping my mother and I search for a new home for her, she is moving out to the Bay Area from New York. The Eastside West team got us in to see homes quickly and when there was a home we liked, looked at comparables and came up with their recommended offer price. Becky said to my mother flat out that she would never allow my mother to pay too much for a home, which gave both of us a lot of confidence in her advocacy role. She also used her local connections with other agents to get us as much advantage as possible when submitting an offer, an invaluable asset in a market as hot as the Bay Area is in 2022. We recently closed on a home and Becky has not only sent me recommendations for service folks (floors, windows, handyman, etc.), but has also given my mother advice on selling her home in New York, going above and beyond her role as simply our agent. Becky's energy is great and she is a rare find among real estate brokers. I highly recommend Becky and her team to both buyers and sellers. Great job, Becky!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Becky, Brandy, Robert and Laura to sell our home in Alameda. They were all amazing. Becky was so attentive to our family’s unique needs in selling with little kids in school, and wanting to stay in our home while we bought another house across the country. I never thought our plan our work, but she and her team jumped right in and exceeded our expectations. Her team is incredibly organized and responsive. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Early in 2022 my wife and I decided to sell our house and look for a new one. We interviewed a few different Realtors but Becky and Eastside West stood out. After previous realtor experiences, it was really important that we work with someone that not only had the experience, demeanor, and work ethic to help us get the best deal but also had time for us. We really wanted a person for the long haul, not just selling, but all the way though to buying our next house and Becky's vibe, knowledge, kindness and help was a perfect fit. She and her team were on point through the entire process and were easily reached for any questions my wife and I had. They had tips and recommendations to maximize what we could get for our house. My wife loved working with Becky and I personally felt respected and taken care of the entire way. I would be happy to work with Becky and Eastside West for as long as they want to and I'll be recommending them to any of my friends that plan on buying or selling a house.

Fantastic experience: Becky sold our house in spring of 2022 and is currently helping us find a new home. The selling process was a total breeze and she was super helpful and flexible, we changed our minds about some things at the last minute and she never hesitated once. The whole process was incredibly smooth and my husband and I both felt like she was our partner and had our backs. During what was no doubt a very busy time for her, we were very happy with the level of attention and care that she treated us with. The buying process, which is undoubtedly more difficult than selling, has been no different. She understands what we are looking for completely and has been a steadfast guide, with her many connections in the local market we have felt like we often have the “inside scoop.” I couldn’t recommend her more highly, especially for something as emotional and enormous as buying/selling your home. Her whole team has been easy to work with and very professional, and we are so glad that we chose her to be our agent.

Fantastic experience: We have known Becky for years so she was the clear choice to be our resource for buying and selling Real Estate in the Bay Area. Becky helped us to sell a property and she and her team were available to help us all the way through. We were firm on the price we were willing to accept and Becky helped us to strategize to get there. At one point Becky recommended a pricing INCREASE to bring new attention to the property. We recognized that this was unconventional, but we trusted her and went for it and the strategy quickly brought us an acceptable offer! We will use Becky for any real estate needs and we recommend her to anyone looking to buy and sell Real Estate in Alameda or Oakland.

Fantastic experience: We contacted Becky because we were looking for a creative way to sell our Alameda home while we lived in it. Becky helped us to make a plan for selling the house off-market with very little inconvenience to us and our 3 animals. She did a full analysis of the market and of our property and told us how much she thought we could get for it and what work we would need to do to hit this lofty goal. We wanted to get top dollar, but didn’t want to invest any more money than we had to. Becky told us about what she calls the “sweet spot”—the exact right amount of work to do—and mapped out a selling strategy, saying we deserved to have the stars align for us and that she was confident she could make that happen. We trusted Becky and her team and we went for it! Becky sold our Alameda house off-market in 1 day for $25,000 over our top goal and brought us a non-contingent offer with a no-cost rent-back so we could stay even after escrow closed. She negotiated and navigated everything and made it easy for us. Becky always stayed positive and aligned with us, and she communicated with us often and happily answered any of our questions. Becky helped us transition to our next phase and we are happy that we chose her as our real estate partner. We had such a great experience with her!”

Fantastic experience: I partnered with Becky because I knew she was the best person around to help me with both selling and buying in Alameda. Becky sold my East End Alameda house for top dollar off-market. My family needed more space so we rented for a year and waited for the perfect opportunity to purchase. Becky just recently helped me to buy my dream home, also on the East End of Alameda, off-market. Becky knows the inside track on homes and how to handle the on-market properties and off-market transactions. I am confident that I didn’t leave any money on the table with the sale of my home or spend more than I had to on the purchase. Becky and her team make everything feel seamless and easy. I would highly recommend working with Becky and her team to buy and sell real estate in the Bay Area. She's the BEST!

Fantastic experience: We called Becky with a big dream, hoping that she could help us make it happen with our place in Alameda. It was complex and involved us writing a contingent offer on a new house and hopefully selling our current house for a price above any of the Alameda real estate comps we'd seen and in a very short period of time. Becky assured us that she could make it happen and we trusted her and she over-delivered! Becky and her team “stay staged” our house and we had 2 offers after 1 day on the market that were $70k over the closest comparable sales in our area. She worked with us on the timeline and tracked it closely so we could make both our sale and our new home purchase line up perfectly, which it did! We are confident that no matter how complex a Bay Area real estate situation is, Becky can handle it and stay calm throughout the process!

Fantastic experience: Becky is truly a star. She is my go-to for any and all Bay Area Real Estate related questions. She has a solid grasp on the market trends and she gives great guidance. I’ve referred several people to her and they’ve all loved working her in ever way. She truly is a real estate matchmaker. I recommend that anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area contact Becky and Eastside West!

Fantastic experience: We found Becky after researching recently sold homes in Alameda. Herlistings stood out with great marketing material, staging and most important great sold price. Selling our waterfront condo in Alameda wasn’t the biggest real estate deal in Becky’s career but that didn’t stop her from treating us like royalty. She immediately saw the potential of our remodeled condo, we strategized about targeted audience, listing timing, discussed how to execute marketing and deal with recent low valued comps. The whole Cusack Group is amazing, everyone is an A+ team player and they executed flawlessly. We crushed the comps and hit our goal plus $100,000. Staging was perfect and the listing looked incredible. Becky even got us a back up offer, to effectively eliminate any risk to our listing. Becky was amazing throughout the whole process and we always felt that she put in extra effort to keep us well informed of what’s going on. She will work extra hard to earn you trust and not just expect it or take it for granted. The only thing we regret is not having more real estate to sell that we could entrust to Becky.

Fantastic experience: We met Becky about 4 years ago and we knew that if we ever needed to buy or sell a house we would work with her. We shared with her our real estate dream and we were ok to wait until everything aligned. We thought that we would buy a larger home and move out and then sell our current home. We finally found the perfect home in the Gold Coast of Alameda and Becky recommended that, as a strategy, we write an offer 2 days before the set offer date. Becky worked behind the scenes with the listing agent and we came to terms with the seller and made the property PENDING before the offer date. Becky assured us that we didn’t over-pay to make this happen. She was right—our appraisal came back even higher than what we paid! A slight curve-ball ~ our lender told us that we would need to be in contract to sell our current home (with a non-contingent offer) BEFORE we closed on our purchase, so our plans had to quickly change. Becky assured us that she could make it happen and mapped out a new plan that included “stay-staging” our current house and going live on the market while we went out of town for the weekend. She had a pricing strategy and a goal that was 25% higher, and we were nervous but we trusted her. Becky had us pending with a non-contingent offer at the exact goal number within 3 days! We moved into our “new” house and then our “old” house closed the next day. Becky was creative, strategic, and always optimistic and we all worked great together. We are happy to have her as our Realtor and our friend.

Fantastic experience: Becky strategically got us into contract on the perfect place in the Gold Coast of Alameda. We had been looking for something specific for a while and once it popped up we toured, wrote an offer, and had it accepted that day. She wrote the offer while sitting on the front porch of the house while we toured because she said timing was of the essence. It was complex because there weren’t any inspections or disclosures on the property, but Becky knew what to do to fill in all the blanks and made it easy for us and also for the sellers. Becky is awesome!

Fantastic experience: We interviewed several realtors but we chose Becky and her team because we saw a depth and breadth of collective competence unmatched with anyone else. We felt they could make it EASY for us to navigate the sale. We set a lofty financial goal, and Becky was confident she could get us there. She set up a timeline and plan and executed it perfectly. As promised, Brandy Graham, from Becky’s team, came and moved our furniture and art around and brought in some of her own furniture and decor to get the place photo ready. The pictures were so good that we fell in love with our own house all over again. We were only on the market for 4 days and received an astounding 22 offers on the house. Becky and her team navigated the offers beautifully and our conversation about the offers took only 15 minutes before we knew what we were going to do. She knows how to communicate effectively and work efficiently. She gave us options and made recommendations and let us make all the decisions. She made it EASY and JOYFUL the whole way through—just as I had hoped for AND we ended up selling for more than $250,000 higher than the lofty goal we set!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Becky on both the purchase of my new house and the sale of my home. Throughout the entire process she was professional, knowledgeable, patient and supportive. Becky has a wonderful energy and positive outlook that made the experience both exciting and enjoyable. She has a very personalized approach. On the buying end, she understood what my wants and needs were and helped me stay on track and find exactly what I was looking for in a very competitive market. On the selling end, she listened to what my goals were and what improvements I was comfortable making. We came up with a plan and she far exceeded my expectations. Becky is amazing, I highly recommend working with her!
