TLDR, if you are looking for a professional who prioritizes your interests above all else, then look no further and contact Irene. My home purchase journey was flawless. Detailed review: Objective observations: 1) Irene has decades of experience of being realtor and it shows! She knows what to look for, what to ask for, what affects desirability of a property. And the best of all, she shares this knowledge with her clients. 2) Irene is super organized, I would definitely loose track of the documents, appointments and calls that one needs to make to purchase a home. However with Irene, she just handles 95% of the tasks, reminds you of what needs to be done and when. 3) Irene works with and knows contacts of other professionals in their fields. So, you will not need to look for a trustworthy inspector in a few days before you would need to remove your contingencies, Irene will suggest you right people for the task. Subjective observations 1) Even though, I assume, Irene was working with numerous clients simultaneously, she was always available for me. One day we even had a call at 10pm, where she carefully answered all my questions. 2) Irene was never pushing me to make an offer, or close a deal or to accept anything. Quite an opposite in fact, for a couple of properties I changed my mind and didn't made an offer, because Irene pointed out some issues that I completely missed. 3) It is just a pleasure to work with Irene. Initially the whole process seems so intimidating, but after my experience with Irene, I am looking forward for my future real estate deals. Some other feedback: Even though my experience with Irene's service was impeccable, I wanted to give a few actionable suggestions about web portal that Irene shares with her clients to look for homes to buy: 1) I didn't find a way to filter out all non-active properties. 2) It would be nice to have option to share an interesting property with friends. Maybe a readonly link that does not require registration.

Closing the deal on our third Bay Area home with Irina was not merely a transaction; it was a collaborative venture built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. Her commitment to excellence, combined with a keen sense of the market, makes her an unrivaled choice for anyone looking to purchase property in this region.

Irene is very very professional. She's always on time ,she works in the best interest for her client with 100% output. Irene is straightforward and honest. I'm Irene’s return client after 20 years. I chose Irene to be my agent again. Thank you Irene

Many thanks to Irene's Borz Home managing team for impeccable professionalism, quick communication, efficiency, well-done organization, polite and competent approach, participation in resolving all issues that arose in the process of renting our house in a pretty stressful and unusual situation. I express my gratitude, the prosperity of the business and will recommend Irene's Borz Home managing team to all our friends and neighbors!

We're sold! Irene Borz is a fantastic and professional Broker. If we could give more than five stars we would! This is the second home Irene has sold for us and, with both homes, Irene had us in contract within a week and well over asking price. We could not be happier with her service. She is extremely detailed-oriented, quick and efficient with her communication, knows the market inside and out, and always had our best interests in mind during the entire process. When it comes to thoughtful placement of decor and organization for showing, I spend a lot of time thinking it through, and Irene was STILL able to make some spot-on suggestions that proved to be sound advice! For the sale of our home, she also used high-end services like Aerial Canvas to photograph it and create our beautiful MLS. Without a doubt, we will utilize her again in the future and will not hesitate to refer family and friends.

I have known my agent Irene Borz for over 25 years. Irene helped us in buying and selling our houses. She listened to us, patiently showing us place after place. After several times, Irene immediately feels what the client needs. We bought exactly what we needed. Due to personal circumstances, we then decided to sell our townhouse. We again turned to Irene. Professional advice, attention to detail, excellent marketing and negotiation skills accompanied us all the time. A successful sale, and a few years later, the purchase of a new house would have been completely impossible without Irene. Now I have problems with the house. I don't sell or buy. I just needed help and Irene couldn't make money. Irene immediately began to help. The combination of professionalism and human kindness and desire to help distinguishes Irene from many other agents. I recommend Irene Borz to all my friends and know that those who have bought or sold homes with Irene will continue to do business with her only. Rimma Goldman

Irene did a thorough research of the area I was looking at, advising for or against particular properties. She guided me through the process, ordered inspections needed, worked with seller agent to get all the disclosures. It was great to have Irene as my agent!

I am a delighted repeat client of Irene, and I highly recommend her and her team to others. This wasn't my first time selling a property (this time - a condo in Santa Clara) with Irene's assistance, and once again, I have been impressed by her energy, attention to detail, knowledge of consumer psychology, and overall effectiveness. I would like to highlight the efficient pre-sale process. It only took about a week, including cleaning, minor repairs, and staging. I had the option to cover the costs of these pre-sale services from my future sale proceeds. The staging was done by a certified designer who used high-quality furniture, which made the apartment look stunning. The recommended repairs were clearly explained and reasonable, and everything was fixed promptly. I was particularly pleased with Irene's pricing strategy. Her predictions and advice on the timing of the sale and the expected pricing range turned out to be spot on. Despite the challenging market conditions, after just one week on the market, I received six offers, all above the asking price, resulting in a successful and satisfying outcome.

Irene helped me to buy a condominium at South Lake Tahoe. This was 3rd time Irene helped with my real estate needs (first time in 2002 and second in 2009), and I was extremely happy with the quality of the services.Irene’s is very experienced and knowledgeable. Irene ordered all the needed inspections to be done as soon as possible. She was very patient to answer all my questions, explain the process and review the disclosures and HOA documents. She negotiated the price lower than asked by seller agent. Irene’s energy and passion makes buying home easy and fun!

Through the years, Irene orchestrated three of my real estate transactions, and I also recommended her to some of my friends. The most recent transaction was a sale of my home of 14 years. It happened in a challenging environment for buyers, but especially for sellers. Irene navigated such circumstances masterfully to find the right buyers in short time. The house was less than two weeks on the market. Irene helped me with the best advice and put me in touch with best specialists for all preparations for the sale. When I got overwhelmed dealing with all my stuff from the house, she stepped in to dispose of it responsibly and respectfully. I'm happy I had Irene on my side.
