About
I have been a Realtor for nearly 10 years, and I absolutely love what I do. Helping people find the perfect home and guiding them through every step of the process is my passion.

Real estate is a complex journey with many moving parts—from understanding market trends and analyzing disclosure packages to navigating negotiations and securing the right price and terms for my buyers. I take pride in simplifying the process and providing my clients with the knowledge and confidence they need to make informed decisions.

I bring these same skills and dedication to helping homeowners sell their properties. Through strategic marketing, thoughtful planning, and skilled negotiation, I work tirelessly to maximize my sellers’ results and achieve the best possible price for their homes.

Whether buying or selling, my goal is to provide exceptional service, clear communication, and expert guidance every step of the way.

Sheila is extremely knowledgable of neighborhoods and has a number of local connections. She opened up doors for us in the home buying process, that otherwise would not be available with another agent. She genuinely took into account our needs as a family, and built recommendations around that.

We have worked with Sheila Madigan twice now, and I truly cannot imagine a better real estate agent.

The first time was when we were buying our starter home. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of jitters, questions, and anxiety. Sheila was incredibly patient, empathetic, and supportive throughout the entire process. She guided us every step of the way, explained things clearly, and kept our energy up so we did not get discouraged during the search. She was always highly responsive by text and email, and she was quick to get on the phone with us whenever something needed more discussion. We always felt informed, supported, and genuinely cared for.

The second time, Sheila helped make our dream of a forever home come true. She dialed in exactly what we were looking for and found us an amazing single-family home in our favorite neighborhood, including opportunities beyond what was publicly on the market. She actively searched for hidden gems and brought us options we never would have found on our own.

Sheila coached us through a thoughtful and effective strategy that allowed us to stay within our budget, while also demonstrating truly gold-standard negotiation skills when it came time to make an offer. Her strategic approach and communication with the seller were key to making the deal happen.

Throughout the process, Sheila was extremely resourceful, always coming prepared with detailed information about each property we considered. At the same time, she remained patient and made sure we felt completely confident and happy before moving forward. Once we were in contract, she went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly, including contingencies, inspections, title, escrow, and quickly addressing any unexpected issues that arose.

I recommend Sheila to all of my friends who are looking for a home. She is wonderful to work with, incredibly responsive, and truly exceptional at getting things done.

Sheila is truly a gem. She helped my husband and I buy our first home together in Berkeley and made an otherwise very stressful process, so much more enjoyable. From the get-go, she was enthusiastic about finding us a home within our budget and took the time to visit multiple properties with us. Never once did we feel rush or pressured — she really wanted to help us to feel comfortable and confident in our decision. Through the negotiation process, Sheila helped us get to a good price (under our budget) and I really appreciated her honest advice. Buying a home is such a big decision, I wouldn't recommend anyone more than Sheila. I appreciated her clear communication, honesty, attention to detail, and proactiveness. On top of all that, she's a lovely down-to-earth person to spend time with!

I cannot say enough about what Sheila did for us in the process of buying our home. She totally got what we wanted while using her vast expertise to add new information and ideas, she helped us wade through so many emotions and logistics, she communicated so well, and was a pleasure. We thought it would take forever to find the right house we could afford, but she got us there much more quickly, and without the pain that so many others have spoken about with lesser agents. All the stars!
