Guidance that Empowers

Driven by diligence, perseverance, and strategic thinking, Gail consistently positions her clients for success—delivering results that align with their unique objectives.

The Process

  • From the very first conversation, Gail takes the time to understand your unique goals and needs. If you decide to move forward together, the process begins with a listing agreement.

    Next, Gail will coordinate a personalized design consultation at your home, offering expert guidance on potential upgrades or repairs that could significantly enhance your property’s market value and return on investment.

    The process then advances along two parallel tracks: compiling a complete Disclosure Packet—which includes inspection reports and all required seller disclosures—and overseeing the execution of any mutually agreed-upon improvements or repairs.

    To keep you fully informed and at ease, Gail schedules regular weekly check-ins and provides access to a live, shared calendar outlining all key milestones. From inspection appointments to marketing launch dates, you'll always know exactly what’s happening and when.

    Once preparations are complete, Gail and her dedicated team at Red Oak Realty will activate a targeted, high-impact marketing campaign to position your property in its best light and attract the right buyers.

    From the signing of the listing agreement through the successful close of escrow, Gail brings strategy, precision, and commitment to every step—always working to exceed your expectations and deliver an exceptional outcome.

  • Buying a home is a major milestone—and Gail is here to guide you through every step with clarity, care, and strategic insight. The process typically unfolds across three key stages:

    1. Defining Your Goals
    Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation, where Gail takes time to understand your priorities, preferences, and long-term goals. As you explore properties, those goals may evolve—and that’s perfectly natural. Gail stays closely attuned to your reactions and reflections, asking thoughtful questions to help clarify what truly resonates. She encourages a pace that feels right for you, ensuring that when the time comes, you’re confident in your decision.

    2. Touring Properties & Gathering Insight
    This stage can unfold over weeks or even months, depending on your needs. Throughout, Gail maintains consistent communication and provides thoughtful guidance. When a property sparks your interest, she’ll deliver the seller’s full Disclosure Packet and walk you through any red flags or details worth deeper investigation. Whether it's reviewing inspections, uncovering zoning details, or consulting with specialists, Gail supports your due diligence with expertise and care—empowering you to move forward with confidence.

    3. Making an Offer & Navigating Escrow
    Once you’re ready to make an offer, Gail shifts into high-level strategy mode. You’ll collaborate on crafting a compelling, competitive offer that aligns with your goals—balancing the need to protect your interests while maximizing your chances of success. Should your offer be accepted, Gail will guide you through escrow, typically a 15–30 day process, with steady communication and a clear roadmap to closing.

  • “She pays attention to details, does what she says she will do, and we could depend on her to respond to us in a very timely manner. She couldn't have been more reliable, understanding, and kind. We could go on. We are so grateful to have worked with Gail as our real estate agent."

  • "We had an amazing experience buying a house with Gail Lillian. She was exceedingly responsive and informative during the search process, going above and beyond to meet our accelerated timeline. Moreover, during the bidding process, she saved us thousands of dollars by advocating for a lower bid price than what we had originally thought to make, and ensured our bid won through excellent communication with the seller. As a first-time homebuyer, Gail was a pleasure to work with, and we couldn't be more happy with our new home in the East Bay. Thanks Gail!"

  • “I was nervous about the process and really wanted to work with an agent who understood that this was not only a big financial decision, but also a significant life decision for me as I put down roots for the next chapter of my life. I'm so thankful that I was referred to Gail by friends who worked with her previously as buyers. Not only was Gail extremely communicative, but I always felt like she went above and beyond in the time and effort she put forth, whether it be touring homes every week or doing additional research I hadn't even thought of. Her empathetic touch also made this very daunting process a lot less intimidating and I never questioned that she was acting in my best interest. And she was expertly effective in handling negotiations/making the right offer!”

  • “In a field (world) where the objective is to do the minimum amount to seal the deal in the shortest time, then move on to the next I wasn't the buyer most agents were looking for…Rather than talk to me about how great the house we were at was, she got me talking about what I was really looking for. Through the year plus journey that followed Gail helped me hone and stay true to what I was looking - the result ... I now live in the perfect house, in the perfect place. Big thanks to Gail. "


  • "I can’t say enough good things about Gail. She was incredible to work with. She was extremely diligent throughout the entire process of selling our home, providing regular updates, answering our questions patiently and thoroughly, and proactively taking care of what needed to be done. I trusted her expertise completely as it was clear she did her research and always came to our calls prepared. She was informative, extremely responsive, thoughtful, kind, and looked out for us the whole way through. She helped us sell our house above what we thought was possible with her negotiating skills and we are so grateful! I highly recommend her! She’s 100% someone you want by your side when navigating the stress of moving and selling."

  • "Gail was awesome! As first time homebuyers she really walked us through from scratch in the tough Bay Area market. She was extremely diligent and detail oriented from the get-go whether it was walking us through the home offer process, disclosures, having an eye out for what we were looking for in a home, and keeping us up to date on the checklist all the way up to close. "

  • “I would highly recommend Gail to assist you to find a property that suits you. She gently offered her professional opinion and also updated me on the conditions of the market and new laws that could affect my investment. She's a keeper."
