Sandra was an excellent agent - personable and knowledgeable. She recommended, but never pushed. She gave us the information we needed to make a decision and then let us make it, without pressure. We were initially opposed to staging the unit, but Sandra persuaded us that it made a positive impact on marketing. The unit was staged and we got 2 offers within the first several days! (One of those offers was the final buyer!) Sandra was a pleasure to work with. She’s very knowledgeable and not afraid to admit what she doesn’t know. Then she finds out! Our sale took a bit more time and effort to get to a conclusion, but Sandra never wavered. She was there with us every step of the way, even though ours was not a sale that would bring her a big commission. We recommend Sandra without reservation. We would use her again in a heartbeat!

Working with Sandra as our buyer’s agent made a huge difference in what could have been a very overwhelming experience. Between navigating pricing, paperwork, timelines, and a competitive bidding war — everything felt like a lot, especially since things moved so quickly for us. We saw a home and had only 48 hours to submit an offer — and we didn’t even have our pre-approval ready at that point. Sandra immediately stepped in, guided us through every step, and handled everything with speed and clarity. She was incredibly strategic in how she positioned our offer — from pricing to communication with the seller’s agent — and made sure everything was submitted quickly and correctly. Because of her, we were able to put forward a strong offer and win in a competitive situation. She’s also been my go-to for anything real estate related — always responsive, always helpful, and always willing to go above and beyond. What I appreciated most was her balance — calm and caring throughout the process, but also sharp, proactive, and strategic when it mattered most. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

We were continuously impressed by Sandra! We quickly learned how well she understood what was needed, and we were grateful to be able to rely on her expertise and judgment in navigating every decision. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and operated with complete integrity. We wholeheartedly recommend her services!

Our experience with Sandra on purchasing our home has been nothing but just perfect. She was patient, extremely responsive and professional. We couldn’t have been more grateful to work with her. She goes out of the way to make things happen at the right time. Strong recommendation to work with Sandra!!

My family worked with Sandra in selling our home. My father became ill and required an extensive heart surgery and my mother has dementia and had to be placed in memory care. Needless to say this made this process very stressful given I live out of state and my sister lives in Los Angeles. Sandra was unbelievable in this whole process. She calm and visited both my mom and dad in the hospital and care center and gave cards and gifts. She did things that I truly believe no other realtor would do. She made us all feel so at ease her calming and professional demeanor. She helped us with literally everything. From finding an estate sale company, to finding a moving company and storage center. She came to the house multiple times when we couldn’t get there and things needed to be done. She staged the house beautifully. In the end, we received an excellent offer that easily matched if not exceeded our hopes. I would recommend Sandra Fortayon to anyone looking to sell their home! She was absolutely wonderful.

This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sandra Fortayon on purchasing a home, and I honestly don't know how, but she managed to be even better than the first time! Her dedication to service is simply unmatched. Sandra isn't just a realtor; she is a master of detail. She paid meticulous attention to every single nuance of the process, truly ensuring every 't' was crossed and every 'i' was dotted. This attention to detail made what could be a stressful experience feel seamless and worry-free. Crucially, she made it her mission to ensure I got the home of my dreams. She made herself immediately available for every question I had, providing detailed answers and guidance whenever I needed it. That level of accessibility and care is incredibly rare and valuable. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned purchaser, I would recommend Sandra without a moment’s hesitation. She is, without a doubt, the best realtor in the Bay Area and beyond! I will never use another agent again. If you want results, personalized attention, and a true advocate in your corner, choose Sandra Fortayon.

Sandra Fortayon is, without a doubt, the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with—and I’ve bought and sold multiple homes throughout the Bay Area. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she explains everything clearly and concisely. She’s incredibly responsive and has an intuitive understanding of her clients’ needs, even the ones left unspoken. Sandra truly is the Realtor Whisperer. She knows exactly when to negotiate and when to hold back, and at no point during the process did we feel unsupported or uncertain. Her calm confidence and grace gave us complete peace of mind that everything was being handled with care. If you’re buying or selling a home, do yourself a favor—work with Sandra. You won’t regret it!

This was a rental property that we were doing a section1031. Sandra helped with everything from helping getting the tenant out, to major clean up and remodeling. I believe we would not have been able to close so smoothly and within a budget without Sandra’s experience, professionalism, contacts and help. She did everything and relieved me of every detail needed to close this property! I can’t even enumerate everything she did. I tend to be a skeptical person but I would trust and use Sandra in a heartbeat for any real estate transactions. Very very professional.

Sandra is an amazing, helpful, knowledgeable realtor who took great care of us as we searched for a home. She got to know our family and worked so hard to make sure that we found the perfect home. Throughout our entire home search, Sandra made us feel like we were her number one priority and made herself readily available to us. As first time buyers, she was patient, communicative, and so very helpful as we navigated the home buying process. She taught us so much about real estate and made sure that every step of the buying process went smoothly. We cannot thank Sandra enough for all that she has done for our family, she is truly the best!

Sandra was an absolute dream to have represent us. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great guide throughout the process but most importantly she will do everything (literally everything) to ensure you get a great house at a great price and will have a smooth closing. We had an offer accepted on our house and I’ll just that there were some challenges we had to deal with but Sandra was completely on top of everything, pushed to get everything finalized on time, held our hands through the process and ultimately was willing to pay for things out of her own commission to ensure we were happy at close. Honestly could not say enough good things. At first we considered trying to buy a house without a realtor and AM SO GLAD we went with Sandra instead. Could not imagine going through this process without her. She is an absolute rockstar.

Sandra was able to provide timely communication through text, phone and email. Her knowledge of the complete buying process was excellent. She provided great communication with the title company also in order to facilitate a smooth and easy buying process. I highly recommend her services to any home buyer or seller.

The process of selling my home was professionally facilitated by my agent Sandra Fortayon. At each step, Sandra clearly explained the options available to me. When decisions were made she followed through to see they were completed. Sandra is a bundle of enthusiastic energy. I never had a doubt that she was not doing all she could do to represent my interests. If you are looking for a real estate agent, I would recommend Sandra Fortayon with no reservations. She was great!
