After seven years of renting in the Bay Area, my husband and I decided to take the plunge and buy a home. We both feel really lucky to have had Jon as a realtor. We were first-time buyers looking for our forever-home. Jon guided us through the process with clarity and patience and made the whole experience feel far less stressful than anticipated. He was good-humored and kind, even with our kids when we dragged them, tired and hungry, to after-school viewings. Jon was readily available via phone and text to answer our many questions and always responded quickly. He also took the time to walk us through all the paperwork for our first bid which we really appreciated - it demystified the process a bit and we felt more ready when it was time to make our winning offer. Thank you, Jon - it has been great working with you.

I was extremely fortunate that Lisa Provenzano was a key part of Mario Ramirez's team at SVRE. Lisa…read morewas my first contact with SVRE when I unexpectedly inherited a home in Saratoga. She is an outstanding representative of the quality of service that Mario's team provides. What impressed me first is how easy it was to talk with Lisa on the phone - she's instantly relatable. In person, she's both kind and professional, which to me is a perfect combination. Lisa is the person on the team who turns the process of preparing the house for sale into action. In addition to supervising the process, she probably knows or can find the right person to solve any problem you might have while preparing your home for sale. Lisa found a home for my baby grand piano, locating music teachers who were willing to take on the repairs. She also found someone who would provide insurance during the sale, which was a huge concern given the home's condition. Lisa Provenzano turned a very stressful time into a positive experience for me and my husband, and this was invaluable. We highly recommend Lisa Provenzano and SVRE. Liz McKean

I know Lisa from the sale of my previous property, where she was an integral part of the team. She is a total professional! When I started on my search for a condo I contacted Lisa.

When it came time to view properties she always made time for appointments with my schedule her priority. We looked at several properties and made offers on three. One of which ultimately came through. I have to reiterate, Lisa is a professional all the way. She was very patient with me and always kept my desires for the property I wanted her priority. When closing came near she was on top of everything and kept me aware of everything that was important. She was present at signing of escrow too! Thank you Lisa for an outstanding job!

As a resident of Sierra Crest, I first noticed Zaid Hanna's name back in 2024 when I saw his real…read moreestate marketing poster at my doorstep labeling him as the "your #1 Sierra crest Seller Agent." I snapped a quick photo of it, thinking I might consult him if I ever needed to sell. By the winter of 2025, I received another flyer from Zaid that read: "The market is frozen, but we didn't give up." Even though the market was rough at the time, that property sold shortly after. His words truly touched me. In the high-cost, wealthy Bay Area, a modest condo often doesn't get much attention; many agents wouldn't bother putting in the effort and would simply advise the seller to rent it out if it didn't sell quickly. Although I had never met Zaid, I saved his number in my phone right then because I was deeply impressed by his work ethic. In the spring of 2026, my mother unfortunately passed away, leaving behind a condo that needed to be sold. I was at a loss for who could help. The property's location wasn't ideal, and the market was slow, so I knew I needed a top-tier agent. While I initially considered finding a Chinese-speaking agent, for some reason, I decided against hiring a Chinese agent. That's when I thought of Zaid. One day afternoon, I gave him a call and described the condition of property. he scheduled our first meeting immediately. Zaid was very nice. Our first meeting went incredibly well. Zaid analyzed the market for me. It was April, and inventory was unusually high. He recommended a minor renovation, and I agreed because I knew it would change the look of the home. He was highly professional and honest with me, acknowledging that the market was tough, especially for condos. However, he emphasized that his goal was a quick sale upon listing so it wouldn't sit on the market. Zaid's true professionalism shines through his phenomenal team. From remodeling, cleaning to the official listing, every team member was diligent and responsible. The renovation took about two weeks--a bit long, but the results were stunning. The house officially hit the market around Memorial Day. Throughout the process, Zaid called me every Tuesday to give updates. Remarkably, after just 7 days on the market, we received an offer! This completely exceeded my expectations. Given the less-than-ideal location, I had mentally prepared myself for a long wait. Seven days was faster than I could have ever imagined. I had seen many condos on Zillow sitting on the market for over three months, forcing sellers to slash prices multiple times. I felt lucky. The subsequent escrow and contract process went smoothly without a single delay. All contingencies were removed exactly on schedule. Yesterday, on July 2nd, this modest little condo officially closed escrow. I am incredibly grateful. It is easy to sell a perfect house, but selling a property with an unfavorable location requires an agent with extensive knowledge, sharp skills, and precise valuation. I believe a challenging property is the true test of an agent's capability, and Zaid completely proved himself. He gives honest advice that both buyers and sellers should take seriously. I highly recommend Zaid and his team, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Zaid and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, dependable, and to the point. I would definitely work with them again. Zaid was honest and forthcoming about the value and sales process that he expected for the house, and it played out just as he outlined, with the sale price beating his prediction. With invaluable advice from Zaid, we decided what improvements to invest in, and then Zaid took it from there. He introduced us to a contractor that he works closely with and trusts. It was the easiest home improvement project I have ever experienced. We all met briefly to walk through the house and discuss the desired improvements, the contractor provided a quote which was fair and straightforward, and then Zaid and the contractor drove the process from beginning to end. We were fully informed and consulted, and then before we knew it the work was done and the results were good. The rest of the process was just the same. Zaid directed me to the providers he recommends for different inspections, etc. and then he took care of the rest. The house looked great as staged, and it was photographed well. The open house must have gone well, because a few days later we were in escrow. Easy-peasy, for us at least!

Nini was very responsive, knowledgeable, genuine, easy to communicate with, and most importantly she always had our best interest in mind. The whole home-buying process is convoluted and opaque, and we've talked to and worked with a lot of agents: lenders, listing agents, title officer, etc. Almost all of them are so used to the jargons and forget how lay-people talk. With Nini, she explained the whole process in the most clear and concise manner. So much easier to communicate with. When looking for homes, Nini gave a lot of valuable inputs on each of the areas, including the history, the neighborhood, the school district, safety, traffic, etc. And she just gave a lot of valuable advices in general. For example, we really liked a town house and initially was willing to pay more than the listing price, but Nini pointed out that outside that small town-house complex, the neighborhood wasn't the safest, and we did reconsider the bid in the end. Another instance was her telling us to keep our bars high and wait for the market to cool down in two months or so, which turned out to be the case and worked well for us. Nini keeps our best interest in mind, as seen from the example above. We trust that she's not hustling us into buying and that her critiques are genuine and is not hiding something. And she's always so patient and understands what is confusing us. Also, one of my favorite trait about her is she's not deliberately upbeat and overly enthusiastic. (Remember, we interviewed several other agents as well) 10 out of 10 I would recommend Nini to my friends.

When it came time to put my house on the market, I was confident that we had prepared and marketed my house to have a strong appeal to buyers, and I was quite happy with the price I received. Bobby's team provides tremendous value in the services they provide and I feel they work with honesty, integrity, and make every effort to meet or exceed the needs of their clients. All in all the whole process went off without a hitch and I can whole-heartedly recommend Bobby and his team.

We did not proceed with Bobby because he was under listing our home and was not going to give us a dashboard with all offers.We had also lost trust in him due to issues in remodeling 2.

We wouldn't have finished when we did if we didn't step in. Bobby and his crew ordered the wrong cabinets delaying us last minute.

Together, they made what could have been a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Before listing the house, they walked through with me and created a thoughtful list of improvements and changes that would help maximize the sale price, and their advice was spot on. They both have a very strong understanding not only of the market, but of people as well. They're smart, strategic, professional, and clearly very experienced in how they conduct their business. Best of all, everything closed in less than a month from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
