Buyer of 1101 Chelsea, Hercules
Our experience with Laarni was very satisfying. - She showed us properties based on our specifications, i.e., 2 bedrooms, with 2-bathroom condo in Hercules, CA. -She knew the specific neighborhood well and understood local prices. We informed Laarni that we will pay Cash and does not need mortgage (financing) to purchase our home. -She was always quick to return our calls and texts /email us back quickly to provide us information we asked for and clarifications on certain issues. -Laarni made buying our home easy and less stressful. -She, also, walked us through the process of filling out the online e-approvals and therefore, the escrow was accomplished within a very short period of time. It only took 16 days from Offer Acceptance by seller on June 17, 2026 to Escrow close of July 2, 2026. -Laarni is very HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE. -Working with Laarni was an absolute pleasure.

Buyer of 301 Tunnel Ave, Richmond
I have worked with at least 10 different agents in my past. Ana , Pascal and Adam , Team Forest were exceptional with listening to my priorities in this tough market after returning to the Bay Area from Montana. After two months on intense research and touring we found my gem! Thank you team Forest! I am forever grateful!
Buyer of 488 Western Dr, Richmond
Not only did we have a wish list for our first home, but also for a realtor. My partner and I met Ana at an open house she was hosting and were drawn to her warm energy, sunny disposition and sense of humor. Humor was key as we both grew up in large families where the sound of laughter echoed through our homes. We walked out saying to each other, "we found our realtor". The next day we met up with the rest of Team Forest...her husband Pascal and son Adam. We struck gold as we realized how fortunate we were to work with a team which meant triple the expertise. When reflecting on the entire process, we realize how, dare I say, easy it was (don't get me wrong, we had moments of doubt and thought, should we really do this?). Team Forest was always available to listen (sometimes to my whining) and answer questions I may have asked 10 times. They provided amazing insight to our preferred neighborhoods and market trends, educated us on all things structural, how to read an inspection report, environmental concerns, etc...the list goes on! Most importantly, there was trust. Ana and Pascal spoke to us with transparency and though there may have been realities we didn't want to hear, we knew it came from a place of care. That was an added bonus. They continue to answer any and all questions as we navigate such an important milestone. We feel very blessed to have crossed paths with Ana. The stars were perfectly aligned as it was clearly meant to be.

MARCO RODRIGUEZ

Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Seller of 1627 Roosevelt Avenue, Richmond
I'm not much one to write reviews, but reading the many positive reviews that Marco has, helped me in my choice. So I kind of owe it to the rest of you to pay it forward. First thing that I have to say is that when you hire Marco and the MVRod Team, you really are getting the advantage of a real team of people helping you out! There is a ton of paper work to be done when selling a house, and Marco has one team member dedicated to just that alone. His wife, Vanessa works seamlessly with him, so someone is always there for you every step of the way. Selling a house is complicated. Selling a house during a world wide pandemic?! Well, that takes some special skills and much attention to detail. Fortunately, Marco is well versed in everything virtual. From Zoom meetings to fancy online tours, he got the word out and got the job done. The staging was so impressive that I almost made an offer myself! Never looked so good before. Sold above the listing price in record time. So it's no wonder that I'm sitting here writing such a positive review even though " I'm not much one to write reviews". If I say any more, I'll start to sound like a commercial, so I'll just click on all the 5 stars and give a thanks to those who wrote all those reviews before that helped me choose Marco and his Team as my real estate professionals!
