Celebrating our slow fashion ethos, Nora is an ode to the art of handmade. Beginning with four wood blocks intricately hand-carved to create two traditional jaal and buti floral designs, skilled artisans then use the blocks to slowly and carefully hand print delicate pink hues upon the softest cotton voile. Tiers of printed fabric have then been gracefully layered and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons from bodice to base, forming this free flowing feminine style lovingly hand-crafted by a small group of women in Jaipur, India.

*Please note due to this style's production process taking several months to create, each Nora maxi dress is completely unique and one-of-a-kind and is only available in extremely limited quantities. Colour variations may occur due to the handmade nature of this garment.*

Maxi is an East Coast native from Philadelphia and a California transplant since 1990. She moved to Rockridge in 1997, where she and her husband are raising their two teenagers and two pets. As a longstanding member of the Rockridge community, Maxi has spent countless years supporting and fundraising for the local OUSD public schools and the Rockridge Community Planning Council, and she continues this today.

"Maxi is the consummate professional. In a tough environment she was able to get our transaction closed at a great price and in a very short time period. Her follow up with us and the potential buyer's agents was superb. Both my wife and I asked a lot of Maxi and her team, and I am happy to say they more than met our expectations."

"I am so pleased that we found Maxi! Even before we closed on our dream house in Rockridge, I knew Maxi was the best realtor around. She is a joy to be with, has a great eye for all of the details, including the less glamorous ones (sump pump, anyone?), worked around the clock for us, everytime advised us correctly and has her client's best interest in every move she makes. She truly went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend her!"

"Maxi had been incredible as our realtor. She helped us with both our purchase and subsequent sale. Her attention to detail is incredible. She was able to juggle and coordinate all the moving parts while balancing our needs. Her sense of style guided us beautifully through the renovation and the presentation of our home. She will work hard for you and has a great sense of the market and the Rockridge area. She is also a wealth of information with regards to the various professionals we used. Thank you thank you thank you maxi ... We are so happy to have worked with you."

"My wife and I just bought a house in the Longfellow/Santa Fe neighborhood of North Oakland and Maxi was by far the most valuable and indispensable resource during the process. Her literacy of local laws and regulations, knowledge of trends in the market, and network of local contractors and financing options gave us confidence in our search for a home. She listened to our wants and needs and worked within our means to make possible what at times seemed impossible. She gave her honest opinion - she wasn't a 'yes' person just looking to get us in to any house - she wanted us to find ourselves in a home that was right for us. When we hit a roadblock in the process, she diligently worked to find multiple suitable solutions that led to us having keys in hand. We're now realizing a dream that at one time seemed unattainable. We'd highly recommend Maxi to anyone who is looking to start their search for a home in the East Bay.Thanks so much!"

"When you select five stars in Yelp, it states 'Woohoo! As good as it gets!'. So apropos when discussing Maxi Lilley and our recent experience with her. As a realtor and a resident, Maxi knows Oakland like the back of her hand. Beyond just the geography of each neighborhood, she knows the restaurants and the schools and parks and the aesthetic feel for each community. Above all, Maxi was very patient. She understood how big of a step this was for us. Buying a house is a big deal, but buying a house in California is an even bigger deal. It's wrought with twists and turns and unexpected surprises; Maxi was our steady ship throughout the process. It is an honor to say that we were her first closing in 2016. I cannot wait to recommend her to our friends!"

"We had an excellent experience working with Maxi Lilley on the purchase of our new home and subsequent sale of our existing home. Maxi connected us with an exceptional mortgage broker who was able to secure a bridge loan and financing for us on extremely short notice. After our bid was accepted, she did a fantastic job of organizing and managing the prep and staging work for our existing home on a tight schedule and within our specified budget. There were a huge number of moving parts involved in closing on the new house while prepping and staging the old house, and we found Maxi's advice and experience on this process to be extremely valuable. Maxi also had an excellent sense of what sale price we should expect for our existing home, which was a point of some anxiety for us. Thanks to Maxi's great organizational skills and excellent connections with brokers and contractors, we were able to close on the new house and then prep, list, and sell the old house exactly on schedule. We were extremely impressed at how everything came together, and very pleased with the outcome of our home sale! In the future, we will very enthusiastically recommend Maxi to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell in the area!"

"Maxi is an *exceptionally* talented real estate agent. We have recommended her to many people, and just worked with her to successfully close an off-market purchase in a highly competitive neighborhood. Maxi's magic helped make it possible. Maxi really has it all. Her strengths include:*top performing real estate agent in the East Bay area: she is extremely knowledgeable about the properties, the neighborhood/market, all the little local details. Super savvy, will find the winning strategy for the situation.*design background: she has landscape design and interior design experience, so she has an eye for the opportunities and issues with each property. Helps to make good buying choices. And she can make your house sing in the sale!*connected: she has so many connections to high quality folks on the finance side (mortgage brokers, bank loans, title company) and on the work side (handyman, electric, plumbing, HVAC, painting, etc). This made the home purchase process as smooth as possible AND got the most out of the property we were buying. Important for selling too! *bedside manner: Maxi is a beautiful person -- she can help you manage through doubt, stress, over exuberance, conflict with your partner, issues with the other party, etc. She has the touch.*honesty: she is straightforward, tells it like it is. Trustworthy. Kind.Maxi made everything work for us in an unusual and time pressured situation AND she helped us after the purchase was in place to get everything in line to upgrade the home/do the work. We are grateful. Wouldn't use anyone else. She is one of a kind. --Vandy"

"OMG, where to start! We can't say enough great things about Maxi! She really helped us in the process and was patient and helpful in helping us to hone in on what we wanted. In the end she helped us find the perfect house for our situation which happened to be an off market transaction on a very desirable block and got the deal closed at a very fair price. We truly believe that without her expertise in managing the process this never would've happened.In addition to being an amazing broker who knows how to get deals done she's also a former interior and landscape designer and has a great eye for seeing the potential in a property. The importance of this aspect of what makes Maxi great can't be understated. Especially in the kind of tight market that Rockridge is, working with someone who has an innate sense not only of what a property is worth but also what a property can become is extremely important. The likelihood that you find exactly the house you're looking for ready-made is small so more often than not it involves finding something that has the potential to be made into your dream home. With her extensive network of contractors she can also ensure that you will be able to execute on whatever your vision is for the property.Maxi also knows this area super well and can give you a great sense for the nuanced considerations around this block or that and how that might affect property values. She has a great handle on the Rockridge market! Lastly, and just as importantly, Maxi really values the importance of finding that perfect place that you call home. She is a thoughtful and reassuring person to go through the difficult and stressful home buying or selling process with. We highly highly recommend her and we are looking forward to giving her the reins to sell our current home when the time comes!"
