2,992 real estate agents in Contra Costa County

My fiancé and I were embarking on our first house-buying journey, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. Velma was exceptional in every aspect! What could have been a stressful process turned out to be an easy transaction, and we owe it all to Velma. In conversations with friends and family, we've heard stories about how they finally acquired a house after viewing 7 to 10 homes. However, Velma's expertise allowed us to close on the 2nd house we loved, defying the norm. What stood out most about Velma was her extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods we explored and her round-the-clock communication. She possessed an intimate familiarity with the East Bay area, recognizing neighborhoods that might not be as appealing, identifying desirable streets, and providing insights into the pros and cons of the surrounding houses. Her accuracy in assessing neighborhoods was consistent, and every house we visited validated her expertise. Velma ensured she was available for communication, whether through text or calls, and our questions were always met with immediate answers. When we entered into the contract, she expedited the process significantly. She maintained close contact with our loan broker, further streamlining the transaction. As a result, we closed within 2 weeks instead of the originally anticipated 30 days. Not only did she facilitate a faster closing, but she also excelled in due diligence regarding our house. She adeptly negotiated a substantial amount of seller credits, even when the house inspection yielded minimal issues. This helped to significantly lower down our interest rate during these times of high interest rates and saved us hundreds of dollars! Working with Velma was an absolute pleasure. Our first-time home-buying experience was greatly enhanced thanks to her. I wholeheartedly recommend Velma for anyone considering buying or selling a home. Your decision to work with her will undoubtedly be one you won't regret. Thank you immensely, Velma!
