She is the epitome of poise, professionalism, likability, high EQ and high IQ and mostly, a genuine kind person. Extremely competent and meticulous. Hands down the best buyers realtor we've ever worked with. She found us our dream home, walked us through every step, recommended handy man, pool company, electrician, etc. She is like ChatGPT in human form. We absolutely adore Maichee. Second, Renee White was our selling agent. She is truly a boss lady! She knows real estate inside and out, and can probably sell just about anything. She's so charming and funny, yet so professional and "on top of her game" at the same time. Her entire team (Darlene, Michaela, Issac, etc) are all wonderful. They basically took charge of our house, made the necessary improvements, strategically got as much foot traffic as possible. Our house was sold very quickly to the perfect buyer. It was so seamless for us. We are so grateful to have found both these beautiful ladies to represent us. It doesn't get any better than these two!

With Nicole's help, I was able to purchase a beautiful home in the Danville area. She made the process seamless and ensured we got the best deal. She went above and beyond to ensure we were informed and made the best decision. I have two little kids so wanted to purchase a home that met their growing needs. She is very patient. I could really tell that she was not trying to make a quick purchase but she really wanted my family to select home that we could see ourselves living in for a long time as well as a home that could appreciate in value if we decided to move. Nicole's knowledge regarding the market is extremely valuable. Having assisted thousands upon thousands of buyers and sellers, she has expertise and knowledge that only comes from years of experience. She is amazing at what she does and can literally perform her own visual inspections of homes. Nicole also has a large network of professionals. You can trust her recommendations and I highly recommend speaking to her if you have any other concerns (escrow, lenders, contractors, repairs, etc).

I am forever grateful for Nicole Jung and her team!…read more Nicole is the hardest working person I know. She is very responsive and patient and will do whatever she can to help her clients. She is so knowledgeable with all neighborhoods and different floor plans. Everyone from lenders to realtors to contractors all know her! She noticed things that I did not and was so honest about each home we looked at. She held our hand throughout the journey of finding our home, closing on the home, and also helping me visualize and design our new home.

Throughout the process, they kept us well-informed and were always available for our many calls, texts, and questions.

We're especially grateful for their guidance, which not only saved us time and eased our anxiety, but also led to decisions that saved us a significant amount of money.

We listed to sale on 7/02, accepted offer on 7/11, and SOLD 7/29!…read more They took care of everything! We didn't have to seek our own inspectors, contractors, stagers, etc.. They had all the resources ready to make a home SALE! I first called LuAnn because had I seen really great yelp reviews about her and her team. When I called, we went straight into getting an appointment set up for a walk-through of the house in a timely manner. This process of getting the house on the market was made really easy because LuAnn and her team are extremely organized with their work and their time. They were very respectful of our time as well. The house was inherited, and we thought that it was going to be really hard because of how the shares were set up. LuAnn and her team were very reassuring that they have seen multiple cases like ours and they have helped their clients be successful in the end. Everyone apart of her team made selling the house such a relief for us. We honestly feel like we didn't have to do too much because of how helpful they were during the whole process. Once we went over the initial steps to sell our house everything went by accordingly and pretty quick, and LuAnn and her team had all the resources that we needed. I appreciated the way that every detail was looked over in order to have a successful sale. LuAnn and her team were very understanding and dedicated.

We are incredibly grateful to LuAnn and her entire team -- especially Parveen and Ashlee -- for their outstanding coordination, communication, and genuine care in getting our house closed successfully - all in the span of ONE month!!

Mary is exceptional. Her communication, follow-through, and professionalism are outstanding. She is…read moreknowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to her clients. I cannot recommend her highly enough. After years of frustration navigating the family court system in Contra Costa County, I had very little confidence that my concerns would be heard or that I would receive a fair outcome. I needed immediate assistance and was overwhelmed by the situation. Mary stepped in and guided me through the process of filing an ex parte request when time was critical. What impressed me most was her commitment to helping me during an extremely stressful time. She not only prepared all of the necessary paperwork, but also met me at the courthouse to review everything and ensure it was filed promptly. Her willingness to go above and beyond made an enormous difference. In the weeks leading up to the hearing, Mary remained accessible, responsive, and supportive. She took the time to answer questions, respond to messages, and help ease my concerns. She was honest about the challenges we faced and never made unrealistic promises, which I greatly appreciated. During the hearing, Mary was professional, direct, and well-prepared. She effectively presented the facts, advocated firmly when necessary, and remained focused on achieving the outcome that was in the best interest of my family. Thanks to her representation, I was awarded full legal and physical custody--an outcome I never expected given my previous experiences with the court. In prior hearings, requests for significantly less relief had been denied despite substantial evidence. Mary's advocacy and expertise made all the difference. I am incredibly grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated attorney.

She knows what it takes to buy a house in the hot Oakland market and she worked with our lender and the listing agent to make the impossible happen. In fact, we are still in a bit of shock that we got a house we never would have even bothered to look at when we were searching on our own: She helped us find and secure a rare gem of an opportunistic find and we couldn't be happier.

Buying your first home can be challenging. Buying your first home in the Bay Area, especially now,…read morecan feel nearly impossible. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have the right realtor in your corner. We met Alma through a mutual friend after spending several months struggling to find our new home. At that point, we weren't sure if we even wanted to continue our search anymore, having felt the pressure of the competitive market and a general lack of communication from our previous realtor. Alma was exactly what we needed: a knowledgable and supportive partner in the house-buying process. She was helpful and patient as we texted and called, answering our every question and providing useful insights at each stage of the process. When we fell in love with a home that ended up receiving more than 10 other offers, Alma advised us on what she believed would be the best course of action -- and our offer was accepted! If you're feeling at all like I was, overwhelmed or uncertain in the hunt to find a house, reach out to Alma. She's absolutely the person you need to help you find your new home.

My husband and I are first time homebuyers. We actually met Alma right before the pandemic hit. She made quite the impression and I saved her contact details. Fast forward 3 plus years later I contacted her when we were ready to buy! She responded to my email almost immediately and this was on a Sunday evening! In less than a month we made it happen. We saw several houses with her on a Saturday. She gave us many tips and pointers on what to look for in a house. She left us to attend an open house and we stumbled upon our dream home by accident. I texted Alma as soon as I walked out of the open house and she took over from there. The next day she made an offer on our behalf and even countered offer for us. It was accepted! We closed escrow 2 weeks later! She is top notch and referred us to our lender and walked us through the entire process. We got a crash course in buying a home in 3 weeks. Prior to that, we were completely clueless. She is patient and always answered my bazillion questions. The home inspector was awesome too. And the lender, well what can I say? Everyone was fantastic!!!! Team work makes the dream work. Reach out to Alma and she will definitely steer you in the right direction. Thank you, Alma!
