NILOUFAR EBEID
Silicon Valley, Peninsula Specialist
As a long time resident of Los Altos Hills, I have had the privilege of raising my children in the same home, watching them grow through both Palo Alto public schools and later at Woodside Priory for middle and high school. Our family has loved the tranquility of the hills, the unique lifestyle Los Altos Hills offers, and its close proximity to Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
Through the years, I’ve navigated our community extensively, driving my kids to activities across neighboring towns—including swimming, tennis, violin, tutoring, Russian math, volleyball, yoga, and art. This experience has given me an intimate knowledge of the area and a deep appreciation for the vibrant lifestyle it offers
Some of my favorite local spots include Evvia for a night out, Mademoiselle Colette for a morning coffee and croissant, and Terun for a lunch meetup. For fitness, I love the small, intense classes at MPX Pilates, and for outdoor relaxation, I enjoy a quick 1.5-mile hike at Arastradero Preserve. When it comes to self-care, No Filter Brazilian MedSpa in San Mateo is a personal favorite.
In 2008, during the construction of our home, I stepped in as the general contractor midway through the process. I quickly learned how to find, interview, negotiate with, and manage contractors —overseeing every detail from light switches to paint colors, cabinetry, and finishes. Eleven months later, we moved in, and I walked away with invaluable experience in home construction and design.
With extensive expertise in Atherton, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, and beyond, I provide strategic insights and personalized guidance to ensure my clients make the best real estate decisions Whether you ’ re a first-time buyer, upgrading, downsizing, or investing, I am committed to delivering exceptional service and results. If you ’ re considering buying or selling, let’s connect—I’d love to help you achieve your real estate goals!
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jennifer & Andrew have been great to work with - personally and professionally - in both the sale of our old house and purchase of our new one. Without getting into detail, our situation was quite complex on the purchase side - so much so that my wife and I agreed that it required more expertise than could be fairly expected of any typical realtor or broker. The Oldhams provided that expertise for us, and we ' ve already referred another couple to them. 5 stars!
BUYER AND SELLER
Jennifer and Andrew were wonderful to work with, starting with pricing and sales strategy right up to negotiations and closing Highly recommended They both are seasoned professionals able to manage the entire sales process, and having a lawyer on the team provides additional clarity for occasional complexities.
SELLER
Jen and Andrew have beyond exceeded our expectations They were patient with us through a long search process, provided a consultative approach along the way, set realistic expectations without letting us overpay and we ' re never just here to sell us any house When it came time to sell our home the team of people they work with to prep, the marketing support and the frequency of updates keeping us in the loop has once again been over the top We could not be happier to be working with them, will 100% be referring our friends and colleagues and will without question use them again in the future.

Compass has developed a 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, drawing on best practices from real estate developers, professional home builders, and luxury marketers to create demand, build momentum, and ensure your home is best-positioned for success. This phased marketing strategy can be far more effective than a single public launch. In the same way that Hollywood launches multiple trailers to build anticipation for a movie premiere, the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy allows your agent to launch your listing multiple times, building similar excitement and demand.
Your Compass agent will guide you through every step of the strategy to help you choose what works best for your home and help ensure it receives the attention, interest, and the offers it deserves.

Timing of Buyer Activity

Attracting Buyers Using Competitive Pricing
Using competitive analysis, market research, and Compass’ suite of AI-powered tools, we recommend a price for your property to generate the most activity and offers early on before buyers move on to newer listings.
Compass Off-Markets Lead the Way
Exclusive Access to California’s Hidden High-End Real Estate

This special feature grants them access to off-market listings and enables them to share them with a network of 7,900+ California agents. This broadens the accessibility of luxury Private Exclusives to a larger pool of clients compared to other brokerages that are limited in size and regional breadth.
