They handled the heavy lifting so we could focus on the bigger picture. We would absolutely work with Cristina and Les again for any future real estate needs. If you are looking for trusted professionals who deliver outstanding results, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Selling a house in San Leandro while living in San Diego seemed like it was going to be a headache,…read morebut Revelina made the whole process so much easier than I expected. From the beginning, she was always on top of everything. She kept me updated, explained every step clearly, and was always quick to answer my questions. A few unexpected issues came up during the sale (through no fault of hers), but she handled them without missing a beat and kept everything moving. She also went way above and beyond what I expected from a realtor. She coordinated sidewalk repair, tree planting, and clearing out items from my storage shed. Since we weren't local, that kind of help meant a lot and made the entire process so much less stressful. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the San Leandro area, very professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. I always felt like I was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who will work hard for you and make the whole buying or selling process as smooth as possible, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Revelina. She's just been an absolute pleasure to work with.

Yvette Teng is the realtor you need! My spouse and I were looking for our first home together and…read morewere satisfied working with Yvette through this new adventure. We wanted a verified and authentic realtor that was reputable and found her! This review is not solicited; it is our honest review after four months of working with Yvette. BACKGROUND: - We were first-time home buyers in the Bay Area and needed a realtor with an experienced reputation. - We had a lot of questions and were very picky about finding a home; we did not want a house near a graveyard, school, and within earshot distance from a train. Yvette was very accommodating and patient with us in finding a home with these requirements and big-picture questions throughout the process. - We spent a few months touring homes with Yvette until we found one that met our standards and price range. - Yvette and her team helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. - This home purchase and escrow was completed before the National Association of Realtors July 2024 settlement on who pays buyer commissions. QUALITIES: - She had a high level of knowledge of the current housing market and the neighborhood we were interested in. - She frequently sent us great matches for what we were looking for. - She pointed out subtle things that we would have missed but were important for our decision process during home tours. - She was always flexible and available for home tours and phone calls. If she was not available for calls, she was very attentive through text messages. - She was strategic in setting and managing expectations on homes and the paperwork. - She was honest and transparent throughout the entire process. She treated the situation as if she were purchasing the property--she looked out for us and had our best interests in mind. - During the processes of the home search, bidding on homes, escrow and paperwork, moving into the home, and after moving into the home, Yvette was attentive and constantly checked in on us to ensure we were comfortable and informed. My family and I highly recommend Yvette Teng and her exceptional team. Home buying is incredibly stressful, but Yvette maintained a calm and confident mindset and kept our anxieties low. Her promptness, strategic mindset, positive energy, and knowledge of the market are why we will not hesitate to call Yvette when we are looking to buy again.

It is so easy to rate Vanessa, she gets 5 stars in every category!…read more Our family interviewed three real estate firms (including Vanessa) to oversee the sale of our condo in the Hayward hills. Vanessa's excellent, well-prepared, sales presentation demonstrated she is very knowledgeable about the local market and financial conditions, and her great advice on preparing our condo for sale, made Vanessa our unanimous choice to list our property for sale! Vanessa is always available to congenially answer questions, provide knowledgeable sales advice, and prepare an excellent sales plan which saw Vanessa properly price our condo for sale, have a home inspection, stage our condo, have professional photos taken for social media presentations, list our property in the MLS and Zillow, and personally oversee an open house weekend on our property...all within just 12 days after hiring her! But wait, there's more...we sold the condo to a couple who attended the open house on the first day! We know it was Vanessa's home sales preparation plan that led the way to this fabulous outcome! Once we had accepted the buyers' offer, Vanessa was also able to work with our title company and 1031 Exchange provider (both recommended by Vanessa) to fully close our escrow on-time in 21 days! We know we are blessed by GOD to have Vanessa as our realtor! It's our pleasure to take the time to write this glowing review of the extraordinary customer service provided by Vanessa! Obviously we will highly recommend Vanessa to everybody we know...including you! Halililujah!

Raziel is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and very data-driven, which was something we really appreciated. When we needed to make quick decisions, he was always prompt and responsive, but when we wanted more time to think things through, he never made us feel rushed or pressured. He has high integrity, is consistently professional, and always gave us advice that felt honest and genuinely in our best interest. He was also incredibly helpful beyond the transaction itself. Raziel has a large network and team and was able to connect us with people for many of the things that come up after purchasing a home, from gardening and maintenance to rodent control. Just as importantly, Raziel is genuinely fun to talk to and easy to be around. By the end of the process, he felt much more like a friend than simply our real estate agent, and he is absolutely someone we hope to stay in touch with. We felt very well supported throughout the entire process and would recommend Raziel without hesitation.

Peter helped sell my parents' home of 25 years in Five Canyons. From the outset, Peter was…read moreempathetic & understanding that this was an emotional undertaking for my parents and our family. He walked us through every step with patience and respect. Peter provided us with a fair price to list the house, including the comps and a detailed rationale based on current market conditions. He used his time and resources to help present out home in the best possible light, including recommending minor fixes from trusted vendors and even his own elbow grease, pitching in spruce up cabinets, etc. In the end, we had three above ask offers in eight days. Peter guided through negotiations, selection of the best offer and a smooth closing process. We trusted Peter throughout the process. He understood that we were making all decisions as a family, including all of the grown children and spouses on all email correspondence. And the fact that his is a family business, working with his wife Janie and son Chris, felt very natural to us. Yes, he has the experience and local knowledge, but Peter also is a good person who treats his clients with care. We appreciate everything he did to make this a seamless process for our family.

After moving out of state we decided to sell our home. Since we left a fair amount of furniture in…read morethe house, and since there were a few minor repairs needed, we figured we would need to make a couple of trips to California during the sales process.  When we interviewed Peter Wardhana we asked him his thoughts on this and he immediately promised we would not need to return to California at all and that he would coordinate everything from preparing the house to go on the market to disposing of the furniture.  Peter informed us that he had sold homes with out of state owners in the past and that the sales process would be smooth sailing without our presence. Peter was true to his word. The level of service and care Peter provided was far beyond our expectations.  Not only did Peter manage the usual staging, inspections and marketing efforts, he also, on his own initiative, personally repainted a couple doors and other areas where the paint was faded or scratched and made a few other minor repairs.  Once the house was sold, he arranged for the furniture to be given away and removed from the home.   Peter kept us up to date on his activities every step of the way through phone calls, texts, pictures, emails and FaceTime.  He was always available to us on very short notice to answer our questions. Once the home was on the market, Peter fielded dozens of phone calls and viewings over the course of the five days it was on the market.  In the end, we received 13 very solid offers and the house sold for substantially more than our asking price.  We are really glad we chose Peter to be our agent and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.  You will not find a more experienced agent with a higher level of service than Peter.
