I had the most amazing realtor, Lea Catalina of RealtyOneGroup, San Ramon. Lea made selling my house easy. Going through the process was smooth and everything explained as I needed. Her communication style of honesty and solution based ideas was forefront in her approach. Being quick and on time, she negotiated a bidding war which resulted in a sale well above my selling price. She checked on my home when I was absent and even helped trim some overgrown bushes. Now that is above and beyond any service I had expected! She even included a handy floor plan, giving buyers a look into the home before actually seeing it. Thank you Lea, I highly recommend you.

From even before the official agent-client relationship began to after the purchasing of our home, Lea was absolutely dedicated to the process. As people considering buying their first home, working with Lea was an excellent decision. She provided us a roadmap of each step with explanations and took the extra time to get to know us as her clients (through formal and informal interview and her own personalized homebuyer preferences worksheet). She is very observant and aware of how people express themselves through words and actions, so she was able to apply not only what we told her about the physical aspects of a house we dreamed of, but also the "feeling" of the space, what "home" means to us, and drew from our indirect reactions to different properties to inform her process of narrowing down the choices. She is very hard-working, matter-of-fact, diligent, responsible, and cares SO much about this work--it is clear in how she shows up and doesn't give up. Her strong attributes are exemplified by how quick and responsive she is to messages and emails, the research and investigation process, and how she applies her knowledge of home safety, inspections, construction together with our needs throughout each step. Her honesty and direct communication were crucial to work through decisions, weigh pros and cons for different options, and avoid long-term regret and issues. Also great & safe to work with re: COVID-19--attentive to hygiene/mask wearing/safety protocol. Thank you for finding us a home that truly met all of our needs and expectations, was reasonable and a great fit for our budget, for going above and beyond to fight for us, and for being a teacher, listener, advisor, and overall very kind, generous person. If you are looking for a qualified, sharp, savvy agent who is comfortable in this competitive market with all the ins and outs, choose Lea to be your superhero agent to get you smoothly, safely, and solidly into the home you are dreaming of owning.

Lea was very professional and understood my need for a quick private sale. Her communication skills were excellent and her knowledge of the market was also excellent. I will recommend her to friends, family and others for their real estate needs. Lea I Thank you Lea for your superb service. Clare Morales
