"Shalene Rose helped us find a home for our business, Awaken Cafe. She was always available to us whenever we had questions and made us feel like we were her only clients, though I know she was giving the same level of service to all of her clients. Shalene is patient and takes the time to talk through every step of the process, so we always felt that we were being well-represented. She is a great negotiator and runs her real estate business with a high level of integrity and joy. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs real estate services in the Bay Area! "

"I've not only heard but have had a first hand experience with Shalene Rose. She is a disgrace. Please don't use her services, she is fake and dishonest. She will sell a single mom a home in the worst neighborhood for a sale. But, there are better realtors out there, even at her office."
VERY RUDE - AR

"We recently went to one of her open houses and she was incredibly condescending and rude. We have been actively looking for a house for several months, and this was the first open house I have ever walked away from gritting my teeth and shaking. I feel very sorry for her clients, because the house was actually quite nice."
Quite persistent - Bill H

"We put our Lake Merritt Fourplex on the market just as the 2008 market was beginning to tank, so it took a few months to get it to sell. We were just about to take it off the market and rent it when Alicia found a buyer that would be just perfect--credit crunch and all. She kept plugging till they accepted the offer, just in time for us to close Oct 1, and you know what a disaster the market turned into in october. She's quite persistent, and you need that in this market!!"

"I cannot imagine why someone left so many negative reviews about Alicia. She did a great job for me - I had 2 other agents who could not find an apartment but Alicia stuck with it until she found me one of the best apartments in town. I would highely recommend her."

"I am appalled to see the disrespectful reviews written about Alicia Drake. She was my agent in 2006 when I tried to sell my home. She was very professional and attentive to all my needs. I felt she went above and beyond on her level of advertising as well as catering the open houses. I decided to not sell my home, however, I would highly recommend Alicia Drake for any real estate needs you may. Come in and talk to me in person at my store SwallowTail in San Francisco if you have any questions. "

"Alicia was recommended to us by a friend during what has been a challenging house-hunting process. Throughout she has been professional, honest, supportive, patient, and always available. We are still searching for the right property together and I couldn't imagine working with anyone else."

"We were in the market for buying our second home, Miss. Drake was recommended by a friend and became my realtor during what turned out to be a long process. Thanks to Alicia's help we got exactly what we were looking for (something extraordinary). I cannot say enough good things about the work she did for us, I would highly recommend her to friends. To this day we consider her the wisest investment we made. "
Stay away from Alicia Drake - Mary Goodell

"Alicia sold us her own duplex in Oakland in 2006. She failed to disclose to us that she had illegally remodeled the duplex, a fact we could not possibly have known from inspections. We discovered that the City of Oakland has been after her for years for her illegal remodels. She stood up city inspectors twice. She put enormous pressure on us to buy, pretended to have a serious competing bid, and lied about many other aspects of the house, including the size of an additional building in the back, which was 200 s.f. smaller than advertised. This house has been a disaster to us. We spoke with several lawyers, all of whom acknowledged that yes, there was definitely fraud involved, but they advised us against a lawsuit because of the cost and time involved. Alicia Drake is utterly untrustworthy. Stay away, far away."

"I tried to work with Alicia on a sale of my home in 2007 but got frustrated with having to follow up with her and remind her everything that was supposed to be done that did not happen.
The worst thing is that she will tell you anything you want to hear to get your listing. She will give you references of people who supposedly hired her in the past only to have those people turn out to be her personal friends.
You just can't believe a word she says. Beware!"

"I can't recommend Alicia highly enough. She proved herself to be knowledgeable about the area I was looking in for a duplex, was smart, savvy and worked hard negotiating a tough market with a deal that worked within my price range. She made me feel like a valued client, and I would and have recommended her to friends. Thank you Alicia! "

"I have worked with Alicia in many real estate transactions including luxury view condos all over San Francisco, historic victorian homes and duplexes and residential investment and commercial properties in Oakland. Many of these transactions involved difficult negotiations and challenges, but ultimately happy and successful results for the buyers and sellers that she represented. Her knowledge, commitment and tenacity in the San Francisco and Oakland real estate markets is well known by her clients and associates and I can recommend her highly. Unfortunately, this very capable and attractive realtor has been the victim of several poison pen letters which in my opinion trashes the whole
purpose and credibility of
this "Incredible Agents" web-site. I write this to set the record straight. I wholeheartedly recommend Alicia Drake as an excellent realtor and a caring and loyal friend to her clients.

"This agent was referred to me by someone who knew her so I felt that I was in good hands. Little did I know! In the market where the inventory is plentiful and buyers are few, a good agent makes all the difference. Unfortunately, so does a bad one. Alicia really dragged her feel with getting the condo on the market and, once we were ready to go, did a complete 360 on the asking price. It was so obvious that she was willing to tell us anything we wanted to hear knowing full and well that she was going to tell us to reduce the asking price when going to market.
We really struggled with our desicion, Alicia was a referral from a friend, but we decided that it was in our best interest to fire her and get another agent from Caldwell Banker to help us with our transaction.
We will now think twice before we take people's recommendations."

""Alicia will tell you whatever story you want to hear to get you to sign with her. She got us into contract and pressured us all the way through. We had to ask her repeatedly for copies of documentation and we caught many "mistakes" that would have cost us dearly in the end.
Shame on her for her deceptive selling practices. If you are considering hiring her, give a call to her former Caldwell Banker office in Montclair (she was fired from that office) or just ask to talk to some of her former clients ( just be sure that they are not their BFFs (like some of the positive reviews on this site from people who never dealt with her).""
