More about Ali Babington

As a Realtor, wife, mother, yogini, recovering chef, photographer, deep sea rescue diver, aspiring Formula One race car driver and semi professional taco eater, I am passionate about what I do. I grew up in the beautiful Bay Area, attending Piedmont schools and later graduating from the U Of O, before attending the CCA, Le Cordon Bleu also!

I think of myself as a matchmaker for people and houses, so it should come as no surprise that I love what I do. I grew up in a fifth generation California real estate family, trained by Jerilynn Babington, who was a top 1% broker in the Bay Area year after year, and previously the agent to such stars as, “The Jackson Five” and “Bruce Lee”. Jerilynn is also my mother, my mentor and later I was her partner at Coldwell Banker, where I began my career as her assistant in my late teens, before getting licensed and going out on my own. We later formed our own staging business, “Market Ready Staging”, so I can speak first hand to the tremendous value that it brings to the home selling (and buying) process. My deep rooted legacy is automatically passed down to my clients, but I’m also relentlessly engaging to keep abreast of all the latest trends and nuances in the wide and ever changing, complex world of real estate, especially in the plethora of micro climates that the California market has, not unlike many other locations in the US.

I have lived both abroad and traveled extensively, giving me a unique understand and appreciation of cultural differences, which has greatly benefited me in negotiations on many of my successful transactions. I continue to have a wealth of invaluable resources to offer clients before buying or selling a home, and have an impressive roster of vetted professionals who I like to call my “secret sauce”.

The very nature of most businesses is that sometimes problems arise, and that’s why you need an expert who knows the ropes and can navigate the process, anticipate problems before they arise, and help you achieve success, even when under pressure. I value trust and loyalty above all else, and I continually strive to build and maintain good relationships with the real estate community as well. I give to a variety of charities, and make donations from the proceeds of each sale, because I believe giving back is the corner stone to real success. I also work with my husband Gibson, and we also have a daughter, Leela, who keeps us on our toes!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. Please reach out to schedule a coffee date or an in home valuation if you would like to know more. I look forward to hopefully getting to know you and helping you achieve your real estate goals.
