From the start, they impressed us with their deep knowledge of the local market and their wide professional network, which made a real difference throughout the process. They were incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions and address concerns quickly. Their experience showed in every step -- from the prep work they did upfront to position us for the best possible outcome, to the way they navigated any issues that came up along the way. We trusted Laura and Kelly and were happy with the results. We would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home -- you'll be in great hands.

Laura is absolutely amazing! I have been following her home sales across the Peninsula for years,…read moreso when we were ready to sell our home in San Carlos, I knew immediately she was our number one choice. Selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Laura made the process seamless. She connected us with fantastic professional help for painting and carpet installation, and her market expertise was invaluable. Her timing and pricing strategies were impeccable, allowing us to sell our home in record time, with total ease, and despite a challenging market. Thank you Laura!! We highly recommend Laura for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Peninsula!

When my brother and I were going through one of the most difficult times of our lives after the…read morepassing of our parents, we were faced with the overwhelming task of selling their home. The house needed a significant amount of work, and emotionally and logistically, we were not in a position to manage contractors or renovations on our own. From the very beginning, Holly Noto of Coldwell Banker was incredible. She explained that she had a trusted crew who could handle the necessary work and that the process would be interest-free, which immediately eased a great deal of stress. The transformation was truly remarkable. The house looked absolutely beautiful--so much so that I honestly wished I could move back into it myself. It had always been a great home, but Holly and her team brought out its full potential. The staging was done flawlessly and made a huge difference. What stood out most to me was how seamless Holly made the entire process. There was a significant amount of paperwork involved, and I was worried it would be overwhelming. Holly walked us through everything with patience and clarity, always making herself available to answer questions. She never once made me feel like any question was unnecessary, and if I made a mistake, she reassured me that it was never a problem and could always be fixed. Holly went above and beyond in every way. She hosted an open house and, within just four days, we received seven offers. The entire experience was handled with professionalism, care, and efficiency, and most importantly, with no stress for us during an already emotional time. I truly cannot recommend Holly enough. She made what could have been an overwhelming and painful process feel manageable and even smooth. I will absolutely work with Holly again for any future real estate needs. Thank you to Holly and Coldwell Banker for your compassion, expertise, and outstanding service.

We were introduced to Vicky through a friend, and as first-time homebuyers, we couldn't be more…read moregrateful for that recommendation. From day one, Vicky set realistic expectations about buying in the competitive Peninsula market while staying positive and encouraging throughout. She was always responsive, patient, and happy to answer every question we had, and never pushed us to make offers on homes we weren't excited about. She was even available to discuss offers while traveling abroad, which speaks volumes about her dedication to her clients. Her market knowledge is incredible; she could look at a listing and instantly point out its strengths and concerns, and she taught us how to review disclosures and inspection reports so we felt confident every step of the way. When we found what is now our home, we weren't sure it was even within reach. Vicky immediately saw its potential, got us in to tour it before the offer deadline, and quickly put together a competitive offer. Once our offer was accepted, her connections with a great lender, contractor, and insurance agent helped us close very quickly. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cares. She came to our final walkthrough after suffering a bad fall, despite barely being able to walk. That's something we'll never forget. She also has excellent ideas about remodeling and stays on top of current design trends, which helped us start imagining the home's potential even before closing. We'd wholeheartedly recommend Vicky to anyone buying a home, especially first-time homebuyers.

From day one, Liz went above and beyond--not only as a realtor but as a trusted friend and confidant who made the process feel exciting, personal, and stress-free. Here's what stood out to us about working with Liz: * Deep understanding of our needs: She took the time to get to know us, our lifestyle, our priorities, and even the little details that mattered most. Every home she showed us felt like a thoughtful match. * Above-and-beyond support: We didn't have a car during our search, and Liz never hesitated to pick us up and personally take us to every open house. That gesture alone speaks volumes about her kindness and dedication. * Expert knowledge and emotional presence: Her insights about neighborhoods, disclosures, and the entire buying process were spot on. She made everything easy to understand and always ensured we felt confident with each decision. * Patience and responsiveness: No matter how many questions we asked (and there were plenty!), Liz was always patient, quick to respond, and genuinely happy to help. * A true partner through and through: Even after closing, she stayed in touch, guiding us toward trusted local professionals for contractor and home improvement needs. Liz made what could have been an overwhelming process feel warm, smooth, and even joyful. We started this journey looking for a house, but thanks to Liz, we found a home and a lifelong friend. Thank you, Liz, and the entire Veritas team, for making our dream of homeownership a reality! If you're buying a home in the Bay Area, go with Liz- there truly is no better option. P.S. If you'd like to hear more about our experience, Liz is welcome to share my contact info. I'd be happy to chat and personally share why we think she's amazing.

Their market analysis and selling strategy resulted in quick success. Julie also had good advice on what to invest in to get the best return on the investment in upgrades. Their crews took over, updated, and prepared the property for sale. We didn't need to get involved remotely. People who saw the house and the ad campaign commented on how well the house showed. It sold rapidly (super rapidly!) for more than our goal price. From moving out our stuff, to upgrades, to closing, was only 2 months start to finish. Peter and Julie have a unique ability to be both friendly and genuine, yet also tough negotiators. I felt they were really partners and were looking out for my interests throughout--including advising me on considering renting out the house--which would have earned them nothing. Amazing from beginning to end.

We moved to the peninsula less than a year ago and started renting with the plan to buy a house in…read morethe coming year or two. When we interviewed realtors we were drawn to Raziel because it felt like every question we had was answered and backed up by data-driven analyses. We were also really intrigued by his unconventional process that is extremely involved in the beginning. Coming from out of state we learned so much about the area and what kinds of properties we could expect for our budget in each neighborhood we were interested in. This allowed us to really hone in our search and made the process less stressful because at that point we knew exactly what we wanted and were prepared for the right house to come along. During this time Raziel also guided us through the process of understanding buying a turn-key property vs. something that would need renovations. When we found our ideal property, we were a little anxious because it was an off-market Hillsborough house. But Raziel was quick to move and get us a showing and guide us to make the right offer for the property. It was complicated, as some off-market listings can be, but it was Raziel's strong relationship with the listing agent that helped our offer prevail. We have to say that every time we saw a house and the listing agent heard we were working with Raziel they had a genuinely warm reaction that made it obvious he is well-liked and respected in his field. Also, Raziel knew our plan was to buy in the 1-2 year range and we never felt pressure to move that timeline up. Instead, for every house we considered putting an offer on, Raziel gave us a thorough discussion of all the reasons why someone would not want to buy the house, and that helped us really decide if it was the right property for us. It always felt like he truly wanted to find us the right house for our family, not just make a business transaction. We feel so grateful that we worked with Raziel and his team to find our ideal property (thank you Jenny and Angilee!).

With their support, we bought our home…read moresooner than we expected, and the entire process was incredibly smooth: our very first offer was accepted. In the Peninsula's competitive market, we couldn't believe it! As first time home buyers, we were looking for someone deeply knowledgeable who could guide us through the entire process: from understanding local neighborhoods and why buyers might choose one over the other, narrowing down our criteria along with what's realistic in our budget, doing diligence when the right house pops up, and navigating the offer process. We didn't know what we didn't know, and we really wanted an expert. Raziel was exactly who we were looking for! He has a very well-structured process that we loved - touring neighborhoods, looking at past sold homes together, and moving quickly when the right house pops up. I really enjoyed learning as much as I could from Raziel, as he has so much local knowledge that I would never have learned otherwise. For the home we ultimately purchased, he suggested bringing an engineer on-site to take a look at the house before we submitted our offer. He also flagged an unusual item in the seller's disclosure packet that he hadn't seen before and recommended reviewing it with a real estate attorney. We followed both suggestions. Everything checked out, and because of that diligence, we felt confident submitting our offer. We would not have taken those extra steps without his guidance. Raziel truly de-risked the process as much as possible. By offer day, we felt informed and prepared. We love our home and are incredibly grateful for Raziel and his team. We can't recommend them highly enough!
