Working with Kristen was a game-changer. Her strategy and negotiation skills are top-notch—we were able to get our offer accepted and sell our home much faster than we anticipated, all within two weeks in today’s tough market, and at a price we were thrilled with. She kept us informed every step of the way and handled all the behind-the-scenes logistics with exceptional precision. This is the second home she’s sold for us in the past two years, and once again, she exceeded our expectations. Five stars aren’t enough to reflect the level of service she provides!

We met with Lori to discuss possibly selling our home and the timing of doing so. She came all prepared with a market analysis covering our area, city, and neighborhood as well as what time of year was best for selling. She explained the process and gave her recommendations which foremost included putting the house on the market within 2-4 weeks! We had some work to do to get the place packed and ready. Lori has a partner, Cheryl Hata, whom we met about a week later due to our schedules. Together they arranged everything including inspections, possibly staging team, and recommended contractor if needed. As we packed up our home of 25 years, Lori and Cheryl arranged for the inspections—property, pest, and pool as well as roof. Cheryl was present during the inspections making sure it went smoothly and that we were aware of what was being noted when possible. Lot and Cheryl suggested we posting a “Coming Soon” sign on a realtor’s only website and on the yard sign before we even started staging. This idea was brilliant. We had multiple showings the first day and multiple offers. We sold at above market price without ever staging or going on MLS. While the process was a whirlwind of activity, Lori and Cheryl were in constant communication and made it all much less stressful than it could have been. We very much appreciate all they did for us and we highly recommend Lori and Cheryl.

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.

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.

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.

Working with Manjit it was a wonderful experience. Selling a house and moving is stressful - Manjit’s calm and positive demeanor made it so much easier to get through. She’s an expert in her field. She took her time to get to know us , our needs and what was most important to us. Working with an agent who gets to know you and has a wide range of knowledge about your local market makes all the difference . We were able to get the house listed quickly and it was pending a week later. I truly felt that Manjit was on our side and we were a team. She made herself available to us whenever we needed her. She checked in regularly and was sensitive to not only the business of selling a home but also the emotional elements that come along with it. We felt very lucky to have Manjit as our agent and would highly recommend her.

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.
