Vanessa helped me purchase a place in the Bay Area. I was on a time crunch and was outside of the State at the time e, so I was not able to see places in person. Vanessa sent super helpful videos and honest assessments of places. When things started to go sideways en route to closing, she reassured me and held firm with the seller’s agent. And she has so many connections from loan officers to contractors.
Selling a home, particularly a home one has lived in for over 35 years, as in our case, is a daunting task. Fortunately, we had Allison Costelow to advise us and handle the complex organization of inspections, prep work, listing and the final showing, all at own pace. It was certainly a learning experience, yet Allison was always available to answer our questions. Preparing our home and the surprisingly rapid sale would not have been possible without her professional, experienced and friendly guidance.
Rigel is the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with! He is professional, proactive, and very easy to communicate with.His negotiation skills are top-notch, ensuring I got the best deal possible. If you want an agent who truly cares about their clients, look no further. Thank you for the amazing service!
When selling a house for the first time, finding a trustworthy agent is of utmost importance. Carmen and her team are highly competent and highly recommended. Her marketing strategies were truly eye-opening. Besides the conventional methods, she even utilized platforms like WeChat and Facebook, demonstrating remarkable professionalism. Additionally, she speaks Cantonese, making communication extremely easy.
This our first time had Melanie as our real estate agent. If I’m gonna use three words to describe her it would be knowledgeable, communications and efficiency. She found properties that meet what we looking for. She incredibly communicative, promptly answered our calls and emails even late after hours. Keeping us updated on the progress. Her efficiency was remarkable. House views, paperwork’s for offer and acceptance offer by seller all within 3 days. Well done Melanie, and Thank you!!!
Judy is the ultimate professional who knows all the ropes including the bells and whistles of real estate. She effortlessly guided us through a very painful time and process. Judy was our angel after our mom passed away and we had to sell our family home. Thankfully, everything worked out beautifully and we got the listed price during a very difficult market.
Nashaba helped me with the purchase of our home in Hayward. I have very specific requests and she helped in finding the perfect home and negotiated well to get the property. I have been working Nashaba for last 20 years, she helped me initially as a loan officer in my previous purchases and now as a real estate agent. Since she has experience both as a loan officer and real estate agent, she was able to guide quickly guide in both fronts. She has good team, who responded quickly to answer all of my questions. She worked well with the team and able to close the purchase very quickly, in ten days. I highly recommend her.
Professional that knows what she is doing, trustable.
I had the pleasure of working with Doug and his team through 2 purchases and 2 sales; they could not have been smoother. Doug really takes care of his clients, communicates well and always has your best now and in the future in mind. While I’m out of the area for now, I know Doug has my back. Thank you for everything!!

Vanessa is a professional and very thoughtful realtor who was on top of all matters. We closed just over a month and got a great selling price for our rental home. She is very knowledgeable about the 1031 exchange rule and process which helped us a great deal to sell and able to obtain the new exchanged property in time without any issue. We highly recommend Vanessa!
