about us

Complexity demands experience

We love what we do. And we love our clients.

When Lynn started her real estate career at the start of the 2008 recession, she knew she would have to be entrepreneurial and different to survive. Over ten years later she is consistently recognized as a top producer on the Peninsula and a leader in the real estate community as a member of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors Board of Directors and the chair of the Palo Alto District Council.  Lynn and Anne pride themselves on their sincere commitment and level of service to each and every client. Their personal approach to marketing and skill in negotiating make the difference for their clients to get the best possible price with the most supported experience possible.

Our clients are saying...

Recently we sold our home of 37 years on the Monterey Peninsula. We chose Lynn Wilson Roberts and Anne Wilson Roberts of Compass Realty (Palo Alto) as agents for marketing and sale. Turned out to be one of best decisions we've ever made. Our 115+ year old house was in good enough shape, but Lynn and Anne's suggestions, all of which we took and implemented, for strengthening the house's bones and enhancing its attractiveness to the buyer's eye, were clearly responsible for a selling price well beyond our initial expectations. Lynn and Anne quite professionally also fielded and resolved some difficult curve balls thrown by local government planning and building officials. They closed the deal, as noted, at a great number and unfettered with nettlesome conditions. Anyone considering sale or purchase of a residential property within Lynn and Anne's professional 'jurisdiction"  and desiring the most professional and effective approach to one of the most significant life events, will be beyond well served having selected this excellent real estate team. A+ They are the best! George and Torie

The Thachers

We sold (Los Altos Hills) and bought (Menlo Park) a home with Lynn and Annie and could not have been happier with the outcome. They were particularly helpful with guiding us in what to fix and update in the home we sold which ended up selling for many hundreds of thousands over list price. We were very happy with the new home we bought in Menlo Park and throughout the process received candid and honest feedback allowing us to make wise decisions along the way. On top of all the great professional service, they both happen to be incredibly warm and friendly people who were a pleasure to work with. Would use them both again in a heart beat.

Your level of service was extraordinary! It is with our deepest gratitude that we would like to thank you for helping us sell our house. It still amazes us the amount of effort you put into doing so. You took care of every last detail and went so above and beyond our expectations it’s still hard to believe.

As a businesswoman you are savvy and tenacious yet warm and caring during it all! We could not be more pleased ...

The J’s

I can't tell you how many people to whom I have raved about Lynn's good advice and service in getting my Mom's house ready for market. Mom had lived in her home for almost 50 years, and had not done a lot to keep it and the yard updated.

Lynn has a wonderful team of professionals who cleaned everything out, painted, carpeted, repaired, cleaned up the yard, and then staged it beautifully for market...How nice is that!

Because of Lynn, it took a large part of the stress off me so I could focus on the other responsibilities of my job as trustee.

Jennifer Davis

Lynn and Anne fueled the sale of our Palo Alto property with creativity and expertise. They readied our home with their team of fabulous vendors, presenting a beautiful final product that sold for top dollar. Not only are Lynn and Anne professional and knowledgable, they are generous, joyful and available. We couldn't have had a better experience and would recommend them highly!

Karen and Brooks

Lynn has been our friend for over 20 years and agent for about 8 years. We have recommended Lynn as an agent/friend to our other friends and acquaintances over the whole period, and we will continue to do so going forward. I believe Lynn is one of the best agents in the area. Our most recent transactions were done with Lynn as our agent and both transactions were done professionally and are worth of high commendations

G. C. & M. O.

After both my parents the original trustees passed away within a year of each other fairly recently, I became the executor-trustee. Living here in Honolulu, Hawaii, it was imperative to find and retain a “local” realtor I could depend upon completely to competently, efficiently and honestly handle most everything necessary for a successful older home sale there across the Pacific.

Lynn was just the right person for the job; with the contractors, workers, and/or others she manages expertly, and the economically sound purchases of various items needed, she turned a somewhat rundown, largely neglected and unkept older home last occupied by my older parents, into a very appealing mostly contemporary appearing home. She did extensive remodeling, replacement, repair, landscaping, while cleverly transforming dated features not easily changed into quirky modern ones.

If I were fortunate enough to have another home to sell there, I would not hesitate a moment to retain Lynn as my realtor.

T Taketa

Having known Lynn for over twenty years, I can honestly say that there’s no one I would trust more to help anyone in my make sound decisions regarding buying or selling a home. I respect Lynn for her integrity, business acumen, personal warmth, and keen understanding of people. I have watched her raise a family, volunteer in the community, and manage a family business. She has succeeded at all of these endeavors because she works hard, collaborates with others, learns quickly, and dedicates herself to high standards. Her helpful nature and sense of humor keep the process of being involved her on a business or personal level FUN!! As a retired teacher, if I could give her a report card, I’d give her an A+ in both her personal interactions and her professional skills

1020 Sharon Park Drive

Menlo Park, CA 94025

Sharon Park was a beautiful home located in a desirable neighborhood in Menlo Park, with views to the community’s beloved duck pond. Situated as it was, on a large lot backing up to an open space preserve, Sharon Park had a very private, peaceful feeling. The home had a desirable, open floor plan with lots of light flooding in the large windows. However, the homeowners had not invested in updates since they built the home in the 1970s. Within a matter of a few weeks, we transformed Sharon Park to a current, bright and immediately livable home and in so doing were able to meet the sellers’ price expectations.
