GABRIELA NEAGU

Gabriela is absolutely fantastic in every possible way that you Want and Need your realtor to be!!!! We were not a super easy type of client for a realtor to have but Gabriela was definitely up to the challenge and did not disappoint us. First of all we were completely new to California. We were not totally sure where we wanted to buy a home so we cast a pretty wide net from Oakland to Alameda to Berkeley. I think most realtors would have said "get back to me when you narrow it down!" but Gabriela was so helpful in showing us around and educating us about the different areas. To make the search more challenging the house had to work as a multi-generational home for my husband and I Plus our son and his family. We quickly decided that the Berkeley Hills was our absolute favorite area but just as quickly decided that it would be out of our price range. Gabriela was not as discouraged as we were and not only found us the perfect house in the Berkeley Hills but managed to get it for under market value. So many things had to fall perfectly into place for this to happen and Gabriela knew exactly what to do and jumped into action. She made sure we were prepared and ready if an opportunity like this one came up and thanks to her relationships with other realtors that she has worked hard to develop set us up for success. I truly believe if it were not for Gabriela's hard work and tremendous efforts we would not now be living in a "Fairytale" house in the Berkeley Hills. We have purchased 5 other homes in the last 40 years and have never had a realtor like Gabriela. Buying a house right now is hard enough so do yourself a favor and choose Gabriela as your realtor and increase your odds of making it happen for you too!!!

I can’t say enough about the excellent service provided by Gabriela with the purchase of my newest home. This is the second time that she has worked with me or a member of my family to purchase property. She is honest, a hard worker, very patient, good listener, excellent negotiator, and an expert in her field. Did I mention fun and very very nice. It took me two years to find my perfect home. Throughout the entire process, she was with me every step of the way providing informed knowledge about the ever changing market and quick responses to my many questions. This was not my first time as a seller or buyer but I can say without a moment of hesitation that Gabriela is the best agent that I have ever worked with to find a home. I give her my very highest recommendation. You will not be disappointed.

Gabriela outperformed all my expectations on many levels. I have over 25 years experience in real estate investments and I can honestly say Gabriela was amazing. Her negotiation skills are top notch and her dedication to seeing the deal through right until the end makes the whole process a pleasant experience. If your looking for a good agent who knows the numbers and how to negotiate you don't need to look any further. I will definitely be calling Gabriela again soon on my next sale or purchase.

There are so many wonderful things to say about our experience with Gabriela as first time home buyers. Gabriela's knowledge, resilience, and honesty got us through a seemingly endless roller coaster of offers. Trying to buy a house during a pandemic, revolution, recession, and election year is nuts but she was willing to go to bat for us over and over again. She made sure to get to know us and really understood the things that were important. I appreciated that she communicates with transparency and that honesty leads in her influence with us. She's also always quickly responds to our questions, big or small. She taught us things that I was able to also pass along to another friend going through the first time home buying experience with another agent. Being able to compare our experience alongside our friends' really showed us that we were getting the attention needed when in the aggressive East Bay market. Gabriela really made us feel like we were well taken care of. And we found a home that we love and fits us perfectly.

Gabriela will be the last call you make. Her energy and knowledge will keep you in front of an ever changing environment. She controls her space in the market; not vice-versa. Gabriela’s creativity and attention to detail allowed us to sell our home in the middle of the Covid Spring. She tirelessly uses every tool and works every platform to meet her client’s goals and we truly felt we were in it together. She has my highest recommendation and my deepest gratitude.

Over the course of three wild and wonderful weeks, Gabriela demonstrated time and time again her unique blend of honesty, professionalism, enthusiasm, and sheer drive to advocate on behalf of her client. My skepticism and doubt simply evaporated in the face of her determination to land me the right house, the best deal, and the ideal situation based on my wants and needs. In a cutthroat economy that often places us at the mercy of a heartless, profit-driven market, Gabriela proved herself a dedicated advocate of my interests by being completely transparent in matters of strategy, alerting me to potential pitfalls, catching and correcting errors made by others throughout the process, and being a tireless, accountable, dependable and thoroughly reliable agent. Admittedly, I experienced an extreme case of first-time buyer’s beginner’s luck, but a huge portion of that good fortune was having an agent of Gabriela’s trustworthiness, talent and caliber steering the process. Her intuition resulted in a price below asking, and ultimately landed me (I’m told) in the unusual territory of positive equity after appraisal. Results will vary, no doubt, but her relentless pursuit for your personal good and sheer mastery of real estate detail make her a formidable asset. And, it must be said, her penchant for following up on matters large and small simply won my heart. Two primary takeaways remain now that I’m kicking back in my dream home: 1) Gabriela’s not just a winner but understands how to win; she enjoys winning in equal measure for herself and her clientele; obviously studies then applies winning strategies; is prepared to outwork her competition for the victory; and 2) I am glad beyond words she was on my side of the negotiating table. I mean, she’s seriously going for the win, folks – she ain’t playin’. She has my highest recommendation and I consider her my agent for life.
