Selling our house in Salinas could've been stressful, but Carmen made the whole process feel easy and smooth. She handled everything--from arranging beautiful staging to creating marketing that really spoke to our diverse, multilingual community. What stood out most was how responsive she was. Even during busy hours, she always got back to me quickly and kept me in the loop. I could tell she was genuinely committed to getting us the best deal possible, and she delivered--the final sale price came in way above our listing price. Carmen knows the market, works incredibly hard, and truly cares about her clients. I honestly wouldn't have wanted anyone else representing us. read more

I've known Carmen for a couple years now and she's hands down one of the most delightful souls I've been around. An absolute professional and does everything in her power to make sure her clients are taken care of. We originally started our journey in 2018, but the timing didn't feel right. She understood where we were coming from and didn't guilt us or tell us we wasted her time. I made a promise to her that when we were ready we'd be back. Fast forward to 2021 and we're officially homeowners. From start to finish the process took about 3 weeks which is insane in this market. No hiccups, no stress and we were able to get our new home at a great price. Carmen, thank you for everything you've done for us and we will forever be grateful for your service. You are family and we love you! Donald & Melanie read more

I hired Carmen from Fohl Realty and Investments to sell my uncle's house, which was in a neglected state and needed some work and TLC. In record time and with minimal expenses, Carmen organized all the necessary repairs and transformed the house into a beautiful property. We sold it at a price far exceeding our expectations and couldn't be happier. Carmen's response and turnaround time are exceptional. She is always available on the phone or via messages to quickly address any questions or provide help. Carmen and her team are the best realtors I've worked with so far. It was a 5-star service, and I highly recommend her. read more

OK, so there are not enough words to express how amazing Carmen is! I was quickly put into a situation where I needed to sell a home that was tied up in a reverse mortgage and I had no clue about either! A good friend Elizabeth Elenes Moreno who works with Sterns Home Loans & who I have known almost all of my life, highly recommended for me to contact Carmen. I was assured that Carmen would take care of me throughout the entire process. I contacted Carmen & she responded immediately, was very interested in meeting with me to tell me more how this works and to survey the property. We met, she was very prompt, looked professional, came prepared, and was super friendly. Before she even walked into the home, she already knew what needed to be done outside to spruce up the place. She listened to my goals and concerns. Carmen had me feeling 100% confident that she is the realtor for me. And she sure proved it!!! Carmen works very hard, and makes you feel like you are her only client while taking care of multiple clients. She was able to answer every single question I had, she is very proactive, and within a very fast time, she had the repairs made to the home as well as getting it on the market in lightning-fast time. Carmen took care of everything! She alleviated my stress and fears with the task at hand. I had a broken ankle at the time, and she came to me (multiple trips) with paperwork so that I didn't have to be back & forth. The house sold within 6 days of listing and above asking price. If you are in the market to sell or buy, please work with Carmen. You will be over the moon happy with the excellent service she brings. She gives you her all. Believe me, there is nobody else I will ever work with. -Michelle Payne read more

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Carmen. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with other realtor before Carmen, but we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She is honest and hands-on . We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, Carmen walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us.We couldn't thank her enough for that every day! We highly recommend her ! She's on top of everything ! read more

Carmen Hernandez was truly a miracle worker! My wife and I were selling our house as part of a divorce settlement and after several months of having no success closing an offer with the previous realtor, I decided to hire Carmen after hearing of her stellar reputation. From day one I could tell I was working with a consummate professional. To start, her communication was proactive and constant. She would regularly update and respond quickly when there were any issues or concerns that arose during the sale process. Also, she smoothly synchronized with other brokers, escrow and the customer to keep everyone in the loop. Moreover, Carmen demonstrated outstanding interpersonal skills when dealing with my wife's reservations about selling the home. Carmen would regularly communicate with her and walk her through all the facets of the home selling process. She also went above and beyond her duty as a realtor by helping my wife secure housing post-sale. I sincerely believe that without the efforts of Carmen and her coworker Jorge, my wife would have lacked the confidence to move forward with selling our home and we'd be back at square one. From start to finish, Carmen kept the process open, transparent and efficient. We sold the home within our expected timeline and price range. I will definitely be using Carmen again when I am in the market to buy or sell a home! read more

Stop wasting your time investigating realtors and contact Carmen. She is amazing! Carmen assisted us with the sell of our previous home and purchase of our new home. After meeting with a couple realtors and hearing their recommendations, I met with Carmen. During the meeting my husband and I knew it was her that we wanted to represent us. Not only do you receive Carmen's expertises, you also have her experienced team available. Long story short we followed Carmen's guide and received over asking for our old home. We have a new home that we adore. And Carmen as a forever family friend whether she wants us or not ;) Thank you Carmen!! read more

Carmen helped us buy our very first home last year - We had a thousand questions throughout the process!! She was super helpful, gave us great advice, and a good overview of the areas we were looking in. We have nothing to but good things to say about Carmen! read more

Time is something none of us have enough of. Carmen was a one stop shop. She brought in her team and they did excellent work. From the title person who solved a problem that I did not think could be solved to her team members providing me facts, documents and photographs. Carmen sold my house in 7 days. Carmen got me the price I wanted for my home. Carmen addressed all of my concerns in real time. I live in Colombia. I was able to get on a plane and not look back because Carmen renders that level of professional real estate services. Don't take my word for it. Make your list. Talk to others. Talk to Carmen. I have no doubt who you'll find to be the most qualified to sell your property quick and at a market rate with a fast close. Carmen's title person got my deal done in less than 14 days if I remember correctly. Every transaction is different but you will not find a more qualified REALTOR than Carmen Herndandez. read more

Carmen is TRULY a rock-star agent - she has it all. She's fun, sweet, down-to-earth, honest, and above all, a true professional. My husband and I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Carmen for the past two years, as we have been dreaming of owning a home in a very specific area in Hayward Highlands. That's right! For two whole years, Carmen has received nonstop phone calls from us about potential properties, gathered intel, and prepared multiple offers on our behalf. Even if she's juggling 20 different tasks, she will somehow make time for you. We knew what challenges we would face when purchasing our forever home: Tough market conditions, our lengthy laundry list of must-haves, and the need to sell our current starter home - fast. RESULTS: 1) Carmen helped us close on our dream home in the Hills. Everything happened very quickly, and we were able to close within 21 days! 2) Carmen also represented us on the sale of our home. After 5 short days on the market (yep, FIVE!), we found the perfect buyer who offered $45k over asking! We are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out, and it's all thanks to Carmen! If you're looking for an agent, please don't hesitate to reach out to Carmen. read more

Carmen helped me make my dream come true! This is a -hard- market for a homebuyer, and even harder if you're on a budget.

What can I say that about Carmen that I haven't said already? I left a review a year ago after she helped us buy and sell our home within a year due to us relocating. I reached out to her recently because I need help/favor with something I needed from a year ago and she pulled through like two days later. Wow...I don't even live in the same state anymore and she's continued to be super helpful. Carmen, you're truly amazing. If you're not working with Carmen, you're not doing it right. Thanks again, girl! read more

Carmen was my agent in my first sale and I just have to say that she did a great job fighting for me in a challenging transaction. I don't think it's fair to review an agent who was not your agent. It would be like reviewing an attorney who represented the other party. Her work showed the value of having a real estate agent as these homes do not just sell them selves, there are many moving parts in a real estate transaction. It's why you need an agent. Without getting into specifics there were repeated delays on the buyers side which delayed the transaction getting finalized. And when it looked like we might be in for another run-around she got the deal done. In real estate you don't just want a friendly face with good marketing and people skills, you want someone who knows the ins and outs of the process of selling and buying a home, you need someone with experience. With Carmen you get both. I was recommended to her by a friend and i just went with my gut-instinct an decided to have her be my listing agent. I'm glad I did and I would recommend her to any friend or family member looking to buy or sell their home. read more

After having a terrible experience with our previous realtor, my wife and I were just about done with trying to find a house. And then our prayers were answered when Carmen came along. She was very responsive and made us feel like we were her #1 priority. After only 2 offers, a seller accepted our offer. I can only imagine that it was because of Carmen's support and her hard work that we got the house. She made us feel confident throughout the process and handled everything with first class service. If you're in the market for a home, I'm telling you, just choose Carmen Hernandez. You won't regret it! read more

Well what can I say?! A+++ service from Carmen! Her professionalism and real estate knowledge is a cut above the rest and beyond exceeded our expectations. She was always willing to meet our demands and never was frustrated with our indecisiveness of what we wanted (or didn't want). She also made sure she made her self available for us on our time. My fiancé and I both have tough schedules and get off very late, but Carmen was always willing to accommodate that and show us homes whenever we were available no matter how late. Even when we finally closed on the sale of our house she made sure we would get the keys that night, no matter what time we were off! We even got to do a late night "sold sign selfie" which she loves so much!! I would recommend anyone of my friends and family to Carmen Hernandez. Don't sleep on her, she will get you in the home of your dreams! And you get to take a selfie ;) read more

Carmen is a HUSTLER! In the best way possible! I purchased a townhome for my mama. My parents own property outside of the country so it was perfect. A leader like Carmen and the team made the transaction a walk in the park. I made a cash offer lower than asking and she did not flinch. She held my hand with HOA which is foreign to me. Her work ethic and proficiency is unrivaled. She is also warm and fun! My go to for any future selling or buying. read more

Carmen sold my home in March this year right at the start of the covid pandemic hitting hard in California! We barely just listed the property for $650,000 in Hayward and were planning on either fixing up the place a bit before putting the property active in the MLS but Carmen recommend we first at least show the property to agents within her office that she knows had buyers actively looking in the area. And literally within a week we got an offer for $700,000 way above our to be listed price and the buyer wanted to close within 21 days! We couldn't have asked for a better situation because literally within 10 days of being in escrow all the covid restrictions started being put into place. Our escrow was almost going to be delayed by 15 days when the first quarantine measures were put into place but Carmen was able to get in touch with the escrow company and buyers to make sure nothing fell though and we closed right on time! I couldn't have asked for anything better because we desperately had to leave the state on time and how she pulled it off at the start of a pandemic was so great. Thank you Carmen!! read more

Carmen did an outstanding job as our real estate agent on a recent home buying experience. Carmen listened and really took the time to understand our needs and the type of home we were looking to purchase. With that information and her thorough understanding of the local market she presented us with listings that were spot on with our requirements. Carmen was extremely responsive to our needs, always made herself available and was tenacious finding the "new" listings and on more than one occasion getting us the "first walkthrough". We'd get a call from Carmen letting us know the house JUST listed and she could get us in for a walkthrough that very same day. In this very competitive housing market this was a key differentiator and made a HUGE difference locating and ultimately purchasing our dream home. We will continue to highly recommend Carmen Hernandez and the team at Les Fohl to anyone looking for a top tier and in every sense of the word truly professional real estate organization. read more

My wife and I were incredibly lucky to find Carmen! She got us into our dream home! She really is what we could call a "Power Realtor!" Carmen always puts her clients first and is committed to doing everything in her power to make sure they are happy. We really enjoyed how she consistently communicated with us, made sure we were comfortable and provided helpful insight whenever we were curious about something. We would recommend Carmen to anyone who is looking for the best representation in the real estate market. Do not miss out on working with the amazing Carmen Hernandez! read more

One call to Carmen and she took care of everything else. I enjoyed working with Carmen from the minute I meet her, she is fun and professional. I appreciated her patience during the process and the support from the team in the office. If you have real estate needs in the Hayward area, a call to this team should be your first step. Thank you Carmen! You ROCK!!!!! read more

As first time homebuyers, my boyfriend and I were very cautious about who we wanted to work with. Carmen came highly recommended by good friends of ours, and she did not disappoint! She was very informative and walked us through every step of the buying process, making sure that we had no questions and were confident with each new step. She never made me feel bad about reaching out to her and checking in, and was an awesome advocate on our behalves! We are now happily in our first home, huge thanks to her! Thank you Carmen! read more

My husband and I are grateful for having Carmen help us through the sale process of our home.

She was very knowledgable, had great communication skills and focused on getting us the best price for our home. You can put your trust in Carmen. We will be forever grateful. read more

Carmen was referred by a friend to me after I had some bad experience with 2 realtors. Although I found this place on Redfin and contacted Carmen, she was honest and genuine about suggesting the sale price, and I got the offer for a foreclosure house. During my escrow, Carmen was supportive and understanding that I had to switch lender 1 week into the escrow. It was quite a journey to close this place as a first time home buyer,and I had a lot of questions and doubts through out the entire process, but Carmen was patient and helpful to go through it with me. read more

Let me start by saying this, the entire home selling and buying process is a very stressful and time consuming one to begin with. However, after using one agent to my my home over nine years ago and speaking with that agent first and coming away with an uneasy feeling on that agents advise and plan on our decision to sell our home, we talked to Carmen and the "fun" began. After talking to my wife and discussing our options went to Carmen and came up with a plan to sell our home that we all liked. Carmen sold our home in a timely manner and got over $40,000 more than asking and still got my family close to two months for free just to look for a new home. Moreover, Carmen went above and beyond her "normal" duties by having to coach the buyers agent on how to properly fill out the paperwork to buying. Even after all of that, Carmen still kept me informed on all changes and extras as soon as they came up to make an extra difficult sell go as smoothly as possible. An added bonus was that Carmen came with the entire team at Fohl and Hernandez that all played a big part in every step of the process. If you are thinking of selling or even buying a home, give Carmen a call and I can assure you that you will not regret your decision, even after finding out she's a Raiders fan( just kidding, she's great either way). read more

Carmen and the office are realtors extraordinaire. Single female, first time home buyer who had no idea where to start. I found Carmen on yelp. Sent her an email and heard back from her within a few hours. She immediately set up an appointment and had her lender join us. Throughout my home search she was available via text, email or phone. If you're looking for someone to truly work hard for you Carmen will do it! read more

I'd give 6 stars if I could. With my two previous agents, we spent nearly two months but nothing was accomplished. My wife and I were so stressed because a new life was on the way real soon. Not to mention we also have a studio to sell too, which shows you how pressed for time we were. However, after meeting Carmen Hernandez at one of her open house, everything changed. We informed her of our situation and she handled it with care and made it easy for all us. If was painless, which we couldn't understand after having dealt with our first two agents. Within just a week, our offer was accepted!! During the loan process, we decided to have Carmen represent the sale of our studio. After just a weekend of open house, someone presented an offer that exceeded our expectation. Wow... and we gave it six months altogether to complete the transition, which Carmen only took a month in a half to complete. We are in disbelief as we are now ahead of schedule, Lol. Truely amazing work and we love you Carmen.. Johnston & Mindy read more

Carmen was a great help w the buying of our wonderful home. Everything from start to end, and even after! Months after we moved in she had heard that we had a son and bought him a gift. Beyond being her clients she became a family member. Goes the extra mile not because she has to, but because she loves what she does and it shows. Thank you much. Can't wait to hit the mega number and give more business. read more

Carmen was very fun and professional to work with. It was our first time selling but she made the process very easy, understandable, and fun. We were very impressed by how efficiently her and her team moved to get our home sold. All in, it was about one month from when we handed over the keys to a signed contract. Our expectations were exceeded all around and I would definitely recommend and work with Carmen and her team again! read more

I can not express enough how grateful I am to have found Carmen as our realtor. I started looking for a home at a time that was very competitive. Every home we looked at started off within my budget, only to be disappointed by being outbid by as much as $80,000 over asking. Needless to say, I was feeling discouraged and almost gave up. Carmen stayed positive and assured me she would find a home that would fit us, not one that we would just settle for. I am extremely happy to say that Carmen kept her word and found us a home that we fell in love with. Carmen worked a miracle and was able to negotiate a price that fell within our budget! We officially closed today!! Carmen has gained a client for life, and I have gained a new friend. I would not hesitate to refer Carmen to any of my friends, co-workers or family members. If you are looking for a realtor who: - Will adjust her schedule to show you a listing at a moments notice. - Will work hard to negotiate the terms and price of your offer to stay within your budget and comfort level - Will deliver results Then please don't hesitate to reach out to Carmen. I assure you she will take very good care of you and treat you like family while doing it. CARMEN YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you so much for everything! read more

Carmen was personable from the first day I met her. Carmen is very passionate about being a realtor and respectful/mindful of your budget for a home. Anytime we had a house of interest she would contact the sellers and make it known that we were interested in the property. She would also provide us with any reports that where available. Carmen was very flexible with her schedule. She was also very responsive to my numerous emails and text and very patient regarding my endless amounts of questions. I would definitely recommend Carmen as a realtor. read more

I had an amazing experience working with Carmen and her team. I live in Las Vegas and I was very nervous on how I was going to sell my property. I had to finally give up and do a short sale, I was not able to spend money or any time going down to check the property so I was not sure how this all was going to work. I was very happy that they took really good care of me handing all the issues with my old tenants, dong a walk through, handle any issues with the Association and getting my bank to approval the short sale. They walked me through the whole process through emails and by phone calls. They have the best attitude and personality I enjoyed working with them! I definitely recommend going through Carmen Hernandez to sell or purchase a property. read more

I walked into an open house that Carmen was hosting in early 2015 she heard what I was looking for and understood when I explained that I was not ready yet. She followed up with me for a whole year but NEVER in a money hungry way like other realtors!! That's how I knew I would choose her to by my realtor when I was ready. Fast forward to Jan 2016 me and my family were ready. Carmen helped us every step of the way from recommending an awesome Loan Officer to helping us search for the perfect property. The process was hard we were looking for a multi-family property with 3 families involved. Carmen and her team did everything possible for us to get the property that we fell in love with and and June 3rd we got the keys to that property!! I am so happy we found her team and I would definitely recommend her to anyone of my friends and family. read more
