As executor of my sister-in law’s estate, which included a house three hours away from where I lived, I was in need of a realtor who was experienced, competent, and flexible. The house had been neglected and was in deplorable condition needing much attention. Additionally, the house was occupied by a disabled tenant who made the house accessible to inspectors, appraisers, and potential customers on a limited and irregular basis requiring a great deal of ad hoc flexibility. Fortunately, I obtained a local referral to the excellent realtor team of Dave Arneson and his wife, Kris who took hold of this project with great zeal and creativity relieving me of most of the legwork required to get the house in a reasonable condition for sale. They wasted no time in bringing in local services to clear the overgrown front and rear yards, haul away accumulated junk and trash, make basic repairs, and make the house as presentable as possible for sale as a house with “potential”. To get the best price possible, they developed a methodology for getting the word out to potential investors and obtaining competitive bids which resulted in a more than fair price for the property. As a nice outcome to this process, the highest bidders turned out to be a couple who were willing to apply elbow grease to create the house of their dreams. Throughout the entire process, Dave and Kris exhibited a high degree of integrity, creativity, competency, and professionalism. In terms of customer support and satisfaction, they were amazing, achieving the highest levels. They also went well above and beyond the call of duty by assisting the disabled tenant in finding a new domicile. I owe much thanks to Dave ad Kris for doing such a wonderful job on this project and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the Bay Area.

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.

I highly recommend Sebastien Colas as a real estate agent. He did a phenomenal job made my home buying experience enjoyable. He truly understands the market and is a very savvy negotiator. His skills greatly exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

David professionalism and knowledge of the market was outstanding. He kept us informed of all the aspects of the process of what was going on. In fact we used him to buy our new home.

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.

Mike is a very seasoned and knowledgeable Agent. He is always three steps ahead with intention to avoid surprises and anticipate whats next. His tenure and experience in the industry brought us great peace and a sense of calm as we navigated the selling process. We were always confident in his professionalism, honesty and thoroughness. Mike is smart and has excellent judgement such that we knew we were in good hands. The process can be stressful but Mike was engaged and always helpful...his knowledge and experience is broad and deep which makes him a rare find.

Sandra knows the market, knows how to negotiate with other agents, ensure we as sellers had a plan in place for staging, pictures, and kept us informed about timing. Sandra kept schedules, was immaculate with communication in providing updates to us on prospective buyers and tours, and is extremely professional. She got us exactly what we wanted on the sale. We’ve already referred her to friends and will continue to do so into the future.
