We interviewed several agents at the beginning of our search, and Julie and Peter immediately stood out as the best of the best. They communicated with us regularly, patiently answered all of our questions, and even helped us put in a time-sensitive offer while out of the country on a family vacation. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, our very first offer was accepted. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home. For us, it was very important to work with someone that we not only enjoyed interacting with, but who we also could count on to ask the right questions and provide the right counsel exactly when we needed it. Julie and Peter more than delivered on both of these fronts. With many years of experience in the Bay Area, they have a deep well of knowledge and a stellar network of contacts, from loan agents to home insurance providers. We would recommend them without reservations to anyone on the market.

Julie has been an invaluable part of our home-buying journey--truly irreplaceable. We are so…read morethankful that we have her expertise and guidance as first-time homebuyers. She answered all of our questions, listened to our wants, and brought an amazing network to the table. Julie was professional with voicing her opinion and was honest with it, which is a rare quality to find in an agent. She does not up sale for the sake of selling. But was smart and careful with how she strategizes and made sure we got what we needed at a great price. Julie consistently reached out to ensure we felt at ease throughout the process and made sure our goals were met without regret. She is thorough, honest and amazing to work with. We got our house at a great price and feel incredibly fortunate to have had Julie by our side every step of the way. Thanks to her, we navigated this complex process with confidence and ended up in a home we truly love.

Michael was the listing agent for our latest remodeled project that closed in April, 2026. During…read morethe remodeling phase, we interviewed the top 3 realtor groups in the area. The 1st realtor came in with no preparation and no data to support his opinion of the home's value. He showed no enthusiasm for the home. We were disappointed. He suggested that we list the home at $ 1.7 mil. The 2nd group was slightly better, and they suggested we list the home at $ 1.9 mil. Michael was the last person we interviewed, and thank god we met him. We were very impressed with him from the very beginning. Here are a few stand-out qualities that made Michael one of the best realtors we worked with (and we worked with a lot of realtors over the years). 1) When it comes to selling the home, Michael has his proven strategy to get us the top sales price and terms for the home. He is very analytical. He based his strategy on real market data and experience. He is very transparent, and he patiently explains to us his approach in marketing and timing of listing the home. 2) Michael is very enthusiastic about selling the home for us. He genuinely appreciates and is excited about the home. We truly believe that if the realtor selling the home is not excited about it, it is hard to convince others (potential buyers) of how great the home is and to get them to pay top dollar for it. 3) Michael's stager, photographer, and marketing team are absolutely top-notch. 4) Michael is a great negotiator. He properly prepped the buyers' realtors during the initial conversations before they wrote the offers. He listed the home for $2.3 mil. After 2 weekends of open houses, Michael got us multiple offers and sold the home for $2.5 mil. We are so incredibly grateful to Michael for getting us $ 2.5mil for the home instead of the $1.7mil or the $1.9 mil the other realtors suggested. We would have left $800K on the table. Needless to say, we will definitely work with Michael again!

My partner & I had a fantastic experience working with Michael Jimenez. We reached out to Michael…read morelooking for a buyer's representative to help us purchase a house that we had fallen in love with in Pacifica. We were beaten down by our experience in the greater Bay Area real estate market and were close to giving up on our house search. Thanks to Michael's proactivity and knowledge of the local market, we beat out multiple offers and now live in our dream home. The close process was incredibly smooth and positive. Here are several qualities that stood out about Michael: 1. Proactive: Almost immediately after I reached out to Michael expressing potential interest in hiring him, he was conducting research on and arranging to visit the house to gather insight. When the lack of a deadbolt threatened to delay the appraisal, Michael immediately called a locksmith and fixed the issue to keep the home buying process on schedule. There were no back-and-forth telephone calls: He simply saw a problem and took care of it. 2. Responsive: Michael was extremely responsive to texts and emails. 3. Communicative: Michael made sure we were informed throughout the process, without bogging us down in unnecessary details. I appreciated his discernment about what we needed to know and when. 4. Strategic: Michael gave sound advice that helped us beat other offers. 5. Honest: Michael was upfront about what he thought were the benefits and risks of different bid strategies. He also followed through on his verbal promises. 6. Flexible: Michael was willing to accommodate our work schedules. 7. Timely: Michael was always where he said he would be when he said he would be. 8. Professional, including to other professionals: Our mortgage broker mentioned to me that Michael was one of the most on-top of it and easy to work with realtors she had run across in her career. I hope to live in and enjoy this house for a very long time. But if that ever were to change, I'd call Michael!

We were lucky enough to land Daniel Smith as we embarked on a housing search in Pacifica, CA…read more As he is local to the area, he has immense knowledge of the Pacifica market. We hit on our second outbound offer through Daniel. His market knowledge was spot on - each house went for the exact range that he shared with us. He was able to show us a wide array of houses for our price point. We ended up landing the best fit for us and couldn't be more thrilled. We were able to operate in today's market through strong organization, communication, and speed. Daniel worked effectively within our limited bandwidth to see houses and we were able to close in less than a month of viewing houses. Our luck didn't stop there, as he has had great contacts for lenders, insurance companies, electricians and more tailored to our Pacifica home. I highly recommend working with Daniel, if given the opportunity in the Peninsula or San Francisco markets.

Working with Stephanie at Palermo Properties was a fantastic experience from start to finish…read more Stephanie went above and beyond--she was always available, even while on vacation with a 9-hour time difference. She continued to have weekly calls, followed up with vendors and colleges to ensure everything went smoothly while she was away. Her dedication to the sale of our home in Montara made the process smooth and successful. She helped with everything from finding trustworthy vendors, assisting in obtaining proposals for work needed on the home, and giving advice on what was needed to ascertain the best sale price and ensure our home shined prior to listing. Once vendors were selected, she even met them to ensure the work was top notch. Thanks to her strategic preparation and networking, we received an offer at asking price the day before the home even hit the MLS! Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. If you're looking for a hardworking, responsive, and knowledgeable realtor, Stephanie and her team are the people you want in your corner. Highly recommended!

I wish I could articulate what a brilliant and hard-working agent Stephanie is. There was never…read moreever a moment where my partner or I felt like we had to chase her down for attention with our search, help and clarification about any matter, or information regarding any part of the home-buying process. Even when she's working with other clients, she really makes one feel like she is there for you 24/7. It made us feel like we had a weapon at our disposal. In the end, our story in buying our first home (which is seemingly unbelievable and magical in some way) feels like it wouldn't have been possible without Stephanie next to us. I would not think twice about reccommending her to anyone seeking a professional, intelligent, honest, awesome, sweet, and simply bad-ass real estate agent.

Okay, so we did decide to move to SF, but couldn't get american financing right away, so we needed to find a place to rent. Again, Vita volunteered her time to look at rental listings and e-mail them to us, and when we came down for a rental-hunting trip, she took us around to view the rentals and make recommendations. So when it came time to actually buy, we knew she'd be a hard-worker for us to satisfy what we were looking for... She had the patience to deal with a really long and drawn-out process (apparently my name is similar to an alias used by some Burmese drug-lord and the stupid mortage company couldn't figure out that we were not the same person) and was with us throughout the whole process. Bottom line- Vita cares.

Once locally, once across the country, and once internationally. Vita managed both our international move and our local move. She knows her stuff, she listens to what you want, she works fast, and to top it off she's great with kids. Our 4 year old ADORES her. It makes a huge difference when you're buying a house and your agent really understands how hard it is to juggle with kids. I don't have a single negative to say in this review. Look her up, give her a call. Vita gets 5 stars!

We know lots of realtors and had lots of great choices for who could represent us. We ultimately decided on Matt after sitting down with him for a cup of coffee to see how we all gelled. My wife is very easy going and I am very structured, need a lot of contant attention and like to be kept in the loop, in other words I'm high maintenance. We explained what we were looking for in a property and set Matt to the task. We looked at a few places on our own and had Matt show us a few others. The property we ultimately purchased was a "for sale by owner" which many realtors might shy away from for fear of having to work too hard. Matt was stellar and exceeded our expectations every step of the way and did a great job of keeping us in the loop at all times. He team was on top of all the details and worked well with our finance team behind the scenes to make sure the transaction proceeded smoothly. We would highly recommend Matt Haugen to anyone purchasing a home on the coastside.

I did a one star review before and would like to amend my reasoning…read more We and Mathew did have a miscommunication about the appointment day. I misread what he said about the date in question. However, I stand by the one star based and the poor communication from Mathew. We were able to talk to him once on the phone, he did send us some listings. We gave him our thoughts and a long while later he sent us the same listing again with some added. Keep in mind, these were long breaks between each email. We started talking in August. There was a gap of nearly three weeks before we even got the first list. We wrote that we would be in town 10/27-11/6. I had written on the 23rd that we were dealing with a family matter. We then wrote to tell you we were in town and looking forward to meeting with you. We did not hear from you until after the (misunderstood) date we were supposed to meet. You did not cc me on any emails, even after I wrote about the family matter from my email address. So, as far as my rating, I think I will keep it.

Their transaction coordinators came in and made the tight (14 day) close manageable. We are very happy that we hired them, and would absolutely recommend the Kulda Group to others.

I highly recommend them with no hesitation. The fact that the condo is in San Jose and the Kulda Group is based in Half Moon Bay presented no problem. Juliette and Reva both visited the condo and offered suggestions of what should be done to put it on the market. Juliette gave us realistic expectations about the asking price after doing due diligence. We were happy with her assessment. We had full confidence in her due to her excellent reputation and vast experience and knowledge. Reva went down to the condo numerous times to meet with people from flooring, painting, lighting, cleaning, and staging companies, and to check on progress. All of this meant that we could stay home in Half Moon Bay and avoid commutes to San Jose. This was important because my husband and I both work, and it would have been difficult to take time off to do these things. Reva was very thorough and timely in her communications with us. Reva and Juliette kept costs in mind and saved us money where they could. For example, a valve needed a simple repair, and after getting approval from the inspector and a plumber, Reva asked the lighting person to fix it instead of hiring a plumber. She offered various staging options as well. They were both flexible and accommodating with the estate sale people when there were scheduling conflicts. Jackie expertly handled the documents, disclosures, and closing process. She worked with the HOA as needed. She saved us considerable time and inconvenience by dealing with the HOA herself and by providing the ability to sign documents electronically. The Kulda Group went above and beyond to make the whole experience seamless and easy for us. I would definitely ask them to help us sell another property.

It is not for everyone but for the right buyer,…read morewho knows exactly what they are looking for and are willing to do the research, they are an amazing option. I am a first time buyer with clear vision of what I wanted and the capital. Did not want a real estate agent to find the property for me, educate me or tour the home. With the price range of property I was looking at, 2.5% of the price seemed steep and I was looking for an option. I connected with Vikrant about a month ago and now I bought my home. Their expertise was invaluable for me and walking me through step by step of the transaction process. Mona's price research was on point. I bid on the top end of the range given competitive nature of the property and just beat the next bidder. I had a LOT of newbie questions that their team had patiently answered and still are helping me through. They even set up the escrow in such a way that I did not even have to apply for rebate but the amount I owed was reduced (only applicable for cash purchase). I ended up saving a TON on agent fees and in the end, ended up being a very fast and efficient engagement with them. Highly recommend but please be aware of their limitations and make sure it is right for you.

In fact, I'd say they outperformed the traditional agents I've worked with in the past, at a fraction of the cost.
