About Me
A life-long SF Bay Area resident and the daughter of a local Realtor, I have always had a passion for real estate.
Between the extensive marketing knowledge gained from my 15 years working in marketing for top Bay Area companies like Adobe and lightning-paced creative agencies, my extensive East Bay community ties, and my real estate-seeped childhood, I am uniquely suited to guide my clients through each part of their real estate journey with ease.
​
While my roots are in Corporate America, it's clear that Real Estate and all of it's related activities have always been my passion.
From being enthusiastic to show my buyers homes, to quickly synthesizing sales data, to expertly pricing and staging my sellers' homes, each and every one of my clients can tell I am truly excited to assist them in all aspects of their real estate journey.
Because I strike a great balance between a friendly demeanor and a love of hard data, it's easy for me to keep my finger on the pulse of the Bay Area's niche markets and arm my clients with this knowledge to ensure they feel confident in their decision making.
I am on the Board of Directors for the Oakland chapter of Young Realtist Division (YRD), whose mission is to increase the number of Black real estate professionals nationwide. I am also part of the Associated Real Property Brokers, a predominantly African American real estate trade association.
I am am also an active member in professional networking real estate groups CAR (California Assoc. of REALTORS) & NAR (National Assoc. of REALTORS, and with that comes added layers of professionalism you can rely on.
Call me or text me - open lines of communicative and ensuring my clients are comfortable and confident every step of the way is #1 on my list.
On a more personal level, some of my favorite things include rollerskating by Lake Merritt, maintaining my houseplant jungle, performing live karaoke and playing my Thunderbird bass guitar.
First time home buyers are my specialty, so don't hesitate to reach out :)
What clients are saying
We had the pleasure of working with Gabrielle Hooks on the purchase of our first home in San Francisco in 2022. We appreciated Gabrielle walking us through the home buying process and thoroughly answering all of our questions in our introductory conversation.
We were all a bit shocked that we found the home we wanted to buy so quickly but her knowledge and patient communication kept us levelheaded as she guided us through a complex transaction.
Gabrielle and her colleague Lanelle Dixon were so kind and supportive throughout the buying journey; it really felt like we were are all on the same team right from the start.
We highly recommend Gabrielle Hooks as a real estate agent to anyone looking for a new home in the Bay Area, including first-time home buyers.
I was a first time home buyer, and did not know anything about the process, but
Montana helped me learn quickly, answered my million questions, booked many private open house showings, got me price comparisons, and more.
This market is intense, but it was a lot easier with Gabrielle on my team. Thank you!
Gabrielle (Montana) Hooks of Sequoia Real Estate was amazing and sold my previous primary residence for $30k over asking despite the reduced demand due to higher mortgage interest rates. She sold the property in less than a month. Montana coordinated with numerous buyers agents and presented multiple offers to me and was responsive throughout the process.
I have worked with other realtors on other deals and Montana's performance selling my property in Mountain View was in the top 5% of performances across all business transactions I've participated in. Montana had recommendations for contractors in Santa Clara County.
She successfully accommodated the tight deadlines I had due to the sale being a dependency on another transaction. I highly recommended Montana if you're looking for a who is able to leverage modern software solutions and her vast network to close real estate transaction in the Silicon Valley and greater bay area seamlessly.
Gabrielle was amazing to work with and made our home buying process very swift, but steady.
​
She was punctual and pro active in communicating to us to secure all of the timeslots that we wanted to see, provided very helpful analytics and comparison pertaining to the current market, and was an adamant negotiator that provided us with any and all details of every potential home we were considering.
If you need a Realtor in the East Bay or Beyond, you cannot go wrong with Gabrielle.
