I came to the home-selling experience as a skeptic of the real estate industry and practices…read moregenerally. My brother had used Darcey to buy his own home in San Jose nearby a few years earlier and found her to be an excellent buyer's advocate (Darcey got to know his preferences so well that within minutes of entering for-sale homes she would often know "this one was not right for him") and thought she would be a good choice as the listing agent for my late father's house. Darcey gave us specific action items some of which seemed minor but obviously part of an overall plan to maximize the marketability of our property. She had very specific timelines for the listing time and when we went live it all seemed to come together. Within just over a week, we had extremely strong offers from several buyers who had outstanding cash and financing proposals for us. Lastly, we trusted Darcey's choice for the escrow company and agent who likewise performed with total professionalism and no surprises. Thank you to Darcey and her team for a great home sale and transaction process.

As a real estate investor in the Dallas Ft. Worth area, I have many years of experience and a team…read moreof people that help me in my home area. But when it came time to scale our business and buy an investment property out of state in San Jose California, not just any realtor would do. Because of the over-inflated home values, the enormous property taxes and the fact that we live out of state, the stakes and our risk factor couldn't have been higher. Darcey Arena came recommended by a really good realtor I knew in San Francisco. After a long conversation with her, I quickly learned that she was everything I was looking for. So we moved forward together. As the process played out, and in the heat of battle, I came to learn a lot about Darcey and her partner, Lisa Dorcich. First, between them, these two have a wealth of experience. They know the ins and outs of every aspect of the contract, the rules, the loopholes and had a knack for knowing what they could make work and what they couldn't make work. So many decisions that should have been very stressful were easy with Darcey and Lisa, because they presented the options and the most logical solutions and everything always played out exactly as we hoped it would. Because we were out of town, Lisa went to several different properties, "Facetimed" with us, and walked us through properties. As we were watching her FaceTime on our computer screen, she was giving us expert insight on what she was seeing, smelling, sensing, etc. She even went into the nasty unfinished basements! Lisa also met us on weekends and at difficult times, arranged for inspectors and contractors to walk through the property and give us estimates. In that regard, she did a lot that for us that was above and beyond. Their knowledge of San Jose was also very impressive. Darcey grew up in San Jose and as a result, was able to match our criteria with the neighborhoods we should be looking in. When I suggested a home that looked great in an area that was not so good, she let me know and told me why. Even if she knew I was excited about the home, she told me the truth. And every time....she was right. Maybe the most important skill a realtor possesses, especially when it comes to actually working in the best interest of the client and getting the client the best deal possible is the realtor's negotiating skills. These skills can't be taught. These are natural born skills that are developed over the course of many negotiations. As a prospective buyer, often times, your realtor's negotiating skills are the difference between closing the deal and not. Between getting the best price and way overpaying. Darcey.....is good. REALLY good. There were some difficult negotiations that had to take place during our buying experience. Inventory was incredibly low, which drove prices way higher than seemed normal. Demand was through the roof and so many people were making offers 100s of thousands above asking price, and getting rejected time after time. On our home, we were not the highest offer, but we had Darcey. She came up with a multi faceted plan, told me exactly what we should do and what we should offer. And we did some outside of the box things. But we did what she said and she got us the house we wanted at a price that was more than fair. Not only that, in the post covid-19 sellers market, got the sellers to agree to lower the price and got us some concessions that were important to my wife and I. Concessions I was SURE the sellers would not agree to. Darcey has mastered her craft and operates at the highest level. And with a housing market like San Jose, you can't afford NOT to let Darcey represent you. Lisa Dorcich and Darcey Arena have helped me and my family in a monumental way and throughout the process, have become like family themselves. They have my highest respect, admiration and recommendation.

Amy was an absolute godsend during my homebuying process. Initially, we didn't get the property I…read morewas after, but Amy told me not to lose hope. She had a feeling things were going to work out. (I was doubtful.) She even came up with some pretty creative ideas on how we could scoop my property. :) I loved it! Someone who could think out of the box!! Low and behold, it did end up working out. There were times when things looked pretty grim, but Amy always stayed positive and was there for me every step of the way. She talked me off the edge more than once. The woman was relentless when it came to working for her cliet. Amy was a SHARK! She navigated through some pretty gnarly situations effortlessly. She knew exactly the right amount of pressure to put on who and when. All the while, being prefectly sweet and super professional. I'd recommend Amy to anyone looking to buy a house in the Bay Area, but especially to a first time homebuyer. She is a professional hand-holder and there's no one who will work harder for you. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thanks, Amy!!! YOU ROCK!!

This gal is the bomb!!! She found our house, held our hands through the whole process, and worked…read moreextremely hard to get us what we wanted. Here's our story... My partner and I casually started looking at homes earlier this year. One day we realized we were getting serious and that we needed to enlist the help of a professional. We chose Amy. Being a first time home buyer can be a daunting experience, but with Amy in our corner with her knowledge, patience and guidance, the process seemed less scary. From the very beginning, she was thorough, patient, and if we were not clear on something, she would always take the time to explain, email or call to make sure we understood. We felt very comforted because she was extremely communicative througout the entire process. Each weekend we went out and searched listings that my partner and I had chosen as well as listings that she had found for us. For our criteria, our listings ranged from move-in ready to needs work, and because of Amy's extensive knowledge in home construction she could very quickly assess whether a house was worth considering. In this way, she saved us a lot of time and we learned a lot in the process. When we were considereding a home, she was never just trying to make sale, but instead she was always focused on our needs and always considered the property as if she was going to live there herself. She was very collaborative and direct about the pros and cons of each listing each step of the way. About five weeks into the hunt with Amy, she dialed in quickly on the type of house we were looking for and she found us our dream home! That evening we knew we had to do everything in our power to get it and having Amy in our corner was amazing because she treated each step with the same enthusiasm and urgency that we were feeling. We discussed our offer with her and went for it. Four excruciating days later, they accepted! It was because of Amy's swiftness in getting us in as the first bid that gave us an advantage and got us into contract. Later, as we entered the contingencies phase, she left no stone unturned and urged us to ask for ANYTHING that we did not like to be changed. Again, her consideration of the home was as if she would live there herself; she put our needs first and she assured us that if there was anything in this negotiation that we did not like or could not live with that we could walk. Of course, having fallen in love with the house, keeping cool was hard for me, personally, but I knew she was the voice of reason to help guide us into making a good business decision. In the end, we got everything we wanted! Plain and simple: Amy is the bomb!!! I sincerely recommend her to anyone looking to buy their first home (or even a second home!) in the Bay Area. Her extensive knowledge, patience, and sense of urgency to work hard for YOU, make her an exceptionally good realtor. She is not a pushy salesperson and will work really hard to accommodate what you're looking for, not what she thinks you are looking for. She is incredibly good at listening, which is why she is so good at helping people (especially nervous, first-time homebuyers) find their dream homes. She will not disappoint you -go find your dream home with Amy now!

We worked with Verona to sell our home, and that's the best decision we made during this process…read more SHE DELIVERED! She absolutely crushed our expectations from a numbers perspective, but more importantly, she made the process so smooth and effortless which we're grateful in particular since we're in a relatively difficult seller's market. We've noticed a few qualities that truly set her apart: She is exceptionally resourceful - Verona typically has insights before they're public because she is very well-connected with other agents and knows the the market extremely well. She has amazing work ethic- She truly works day and night. Even when we moved to the East Coast, she responded to our calls as early as 7AM. Although we knew we were not her only clients, she certainly made us feel like a priority. She is incredibly personable - We first connected with Verona nearly two years before we were ready to sell. Throughout that time, she maintained a sincere interest in our family and our goals without ever making us feel pressured. We believe her expertise, trusted reputation, and the respect she has earned among other agents gave our home every opportunity to succeed in this market. Verona's expertise in preparing, marketing, strategically pricing, and negotiating the sale of our home was exceptional. Every recommendation she made had a purpose, and her thoughtful approach helped us achieve an outstanding result. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience. Verona consistently went above and beyond, and we would confidently recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

They embodied the many of the traits we sought as realtors - they were detail oriented, communicative, and professional just to name a few.

However, what really stood out to us was how they treated us. It felt like they were our close friends, making sure we were happy with our choices and set up for success. When we lost out on a prospective property they shared our dejection, and we celebrated when we had finally had the keys to our new home.
