We lived in the bay area for 5 years, renting first in Sunnyvale, then Cupertino and the last 2.5…read moreyears here in the Cambrian Park area of San Jose. We realized we love the area so much so we finally decided to buy. We are 1st time buyers in the US so I had a lot of hesitations around: should I, rent is so much cheaper now, can we just keep renting for a few more years? So my wife Maria started to look around, going to open houses and such. We always knew we wanted to work with a realtor who can really understand us but I am very picky so I knew it wouldn't be easy. We took our time exploring the options first and I didn't want to rush things as we realized we are making an investment at least until our small one graduates from high school, so 10 years and more. We first saw Cami Czarny in the open house and at least for me it immediately clicked. Cami is a local agent living in the area forever, having kids who grew up here and having friends with a lot of locals, so she has seen the area developing and growing. As a person, I never like to be pushed, rushed or forced to do something, but Cami just asked us about what we are looking for, and much more about our family and what they are and what we want as a family. So when she offered to be our buying agent, it was a no brainer.  She clearly explained every step and was very personal and helpful in all parts of the process. She suggested a few lenders and that was very helpful to get quick pre approval to start bidding. During the offer process, Cami helped a lot by asking questions and getting myself to get to the answer. This is something which truly stands her out and resonates with me a lot, I always felt supported in the whole process but never felt pushed, if you know what I mean. Cami Czarny is really dedicated to helping families find their next home and she does it in a very gentle, non-intrusive way and makes sure you come to a conclusion yourself. We valued that a lot and we are recommending Cami to everyone.

Cami was by far the best property manager I have worked with, we were very lucky to have found her…read morerental listing when we did. While there are a lot of bad, greedy, frustrating landlords around, Cami adds a personal touch in her dealings and was always a delight to work with. Multiple times through the years she would drop by with practical, helpful or fun gifts for the home, or a nice card in the mail just to say Thank You for paying the rent on time. During the pandemic, she checked in with my family often to see how we were doing. If ever an issue, she would handle repairs incredibly fast and seamless, with very little impact to our living space or lifestyle. The rent was never raised more than it should have been (and was usually a much lower increase than we even expected), and everything always felt very fair. We were always taken care of. Thank you, Cami!!

It had to be our "goldilocks" house, not too big (or expensive!), not too small, but just right. She stuck with us and faithfully emailed us any listing that was close to what we wanted, but she was careful to screen them, often in person. Since we were relocating from Ventura County, she had to be our eyes and ears here on the ground in Santa Cruz. Last summer, when she had found the perfect house, we came up to view it, make an offer and close the deal. She negotiated with the long time owners who were anxious to sell but wanted to get their price, too. Ruth was a whiz at the Escrow and closing procedures and we had no doubt that with her guidance and expertise it would be a smooth process.

I feel so grateful that my aunt Connie found Ann. Last year I was selling my home, and many…read morerealtors weren't interested in representing me. They felt I was asking too much, and one even recommended foreclosure, but Ann helped me sell it and got me close to my asking price. That was one of three homes, she would end up helping me with. My aunt and grandfather both died before I sold my home and being executor to their trust, I inherited the busiest year of my life, and a reverse mortgage on my grandpa's home. Ann helped me figure that out in order to sell the home to a family member. Despite all the work that went into grandpa's house, Ann was patient enough to help me find the right home for myself along the way. I wasn't an easy buyer because my home needed at least 4 bds 2+ bths and room for pets for the right price in the right area. Did I mention the right price? After searching the market for several months, I found what I wanted and haven't seen anything close to it yet. I can't express my gratitude for Ann's patience and help in a year that could have easily went the opposite way. Ann is very experienced in her career and supplies many references for any work that may be related to home maintenance and repair. Together, we signed documents through Ziplogic & DocuSign. I wouldn't have it any other way. I was able to sign at times while on vacation or visiting family away. I even signed a few times at work from my phone. She definitely speeded up the pace by encouraging this method. We closed escrow on my home in under 30 days. I recommend Ann Berry-Kline for anyone who seeks quality. Because quality takes time, you wont feel rushed in making the right decisions. Thanks Ann, Till next time Your friend, Jose Salvador Lopez Jr.
