Working with Mirella was an absolute dream! From day one, she made us feel like family--always kind, patient, and incredibly responsive. Her deep knowledge of the market, combined with a sharp instinct for timing and strategy, was truly impressive. What stood out most was Mirella's honesty and the calm confidence she brought to every step of the process. Whenever we felt uncertain, she reminded us to "trust the process"--and she was absolutely right! She also reassured us, "The right buyer will come, just be patient," and sure enough, that's exactly what happened! Mirella listed our home on May 29, 2025, and held open houses over two weekends. She kept us updated on every offer that came in, and on the 17th day, the perfect buyer submitted the perfect offer! Mirella contacted us that evening, we signed the paperwork via DocuSign, escrow opened the next day, and we officially closed on June 30, 2025. Beyond her professionalism, Mirella was simply a joy to work with. She brought positivity, humor, and a genuine sense of care to what could have been a stressful time for me and my wife.

I grew up in San Francisco and there for many years. In 2018, I decided to make a change by selling the family home and live with my sister in Hayward for a few months. Many people I know mentioned I should look up Fohl Realty in Hayward. I have received many great reviews that helped in the decision to sign up with this real estate agency. I met many good people in the agency who were all so kind and helpful that I knew I wouldn't have any problems in relocating to the East Bay. I agreed to list the house in with Les Fohl, who was fantastic in explaining in detail what needs to be done to make it an easy process for me. Very interesting indeed. After four weeks the house was sold. In 2019, when I was ready to look for a house, I met Mirella Hernandez, who became my realtor, and we started our journey for the great search of a new home. Mirella was just fantastic to work with. She's very kind, had the patients to answer many questions that a new buyer needs to know. She was very flexible with my schedule that I felt so comfortable knowing that my needs came first. In the meantime, Mirella and I became such good friends, and till this day we still are. Having this friendship helped make house hunting an adventure. We both totally enjoyed it. Mid-2019, I purchased a house in Castro Valley. There was quite a bit of renovations to be done in the interior and exterior of the house, and Mirella helped me go through it smoothly. I also decided to renovate a workshop and was constructed to become an ADU in the backyard. It came out perfect and, of course, cute. In early 2020, I moved into the house and Mirella was guiding me step-by-step in making this house a home. I was very proud of her and still am. Mirella, good luck to you always. I know you will make clients very happy and comfortable in working with you because of your knowledge of real estate. You are a special person, and I will recommend you and your services to family and friends. read more

We found Mirella and Carmen via an old contact when it was necessary for my elderly mother to move closer to me. I was a sudden decision, and they knew our circumstances. Others might have done things differently and taken advantage. These 2 were angels sent in a time of need. From the beginning, they had my mother's best interests at heart. They gave me great advise and the trust we put in them was absolutely worth it. The level of communication from start to finish, the care they took with me while dealing with so many other issues, and the final outcome was fantastic. There is absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for the sale of your property. Not only are they good at their jobs, they are good, honest and caring people. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Mirella selling our current home and upgrading to bigger place for our family. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure working with her, even though it was not the most smooth process she always found a way to demonstrate patience, and went out her way to put my family and our needs first. She always answered all of our questions, calls and emails no matter what time of the day. Leaning on Mirella during this transition sure made it a lot less stressful to say the least! We now consider Mirela a good friend and part of our family and would highly recommend her to all friends and family. Honestly true pleasure working with not only a very knowledgeable, funny, hard-working person like Mirella. read more

We worked with Mirella to sell and buy our home. It was a smooth experience on both cases. Given that we had no idea that there would be a shelter in place order go into affect just a few weeks after we had accepted an offer, Mirella was able to accommodate us with all that needed to be done. We knew would have a better offer if staged and repainted. She was able to find people within our price point to come and do all the work. We were lucky that she was able to show our condo the month before SIP, so that helped us a lot with the selling. It didn't take super long to sell so that meant we were able to start looking for a new home soon. The SIP was at its strictest by when we sold so it prevented us from going in to look at places. Non the less, if we were interested in something, Mirella was always available to get reports for us to look over and to answer our questions. When we were finally able to physically look at places, Mirella handled everything very professionally and safely. We always had masks and she always scheduled appointments for us. My husband and my schedule would vary so sometimes we would need to look at houses in the morning or after 5. Again, Mirella was always available. She was very honest in regards to how the market works and I think that's what we liked the most. When we finally found something in our price point, Mirella worked with us and the seller and made things super smooth. We were lucky to have our offer accepted and all paperwork was done online. We really appreciate all that Mirella and her firm did to help us find our home. We would definitely recommend Mirella to our family and friends. read more
