Nicki turned out to be super lucky for us as we ended up purchasing the first house we bid. She was super patient, never pressured us in anyway and gave her honest feedback. Her timely advice to us about purchase vs sale and timing worked in our favor. She is always there to answer questions any time of day. Nicki is an excellent resource on san jose neighborhoods and she knows a lot about specific sub areas and their characteristics. She would even knock doors and talk to neighbors to get a sense of the community around. With Nicki, you will honestly feel she is giving you her 100%.

She was responsive to our needs and actively pursued our best interests. Listing our condo in a crowded market, she knew how to expertly navigate the situation. Nicki personally showcased our unique features that buyers may overlook. She was hands-on and kept us up to date. Even though our condo was lower priced than her more expensive listings, we never felt like she short-changed her service in any way. On a personal level, she is very friendly, patient, and understanding. We even shared a few laughs along the way. Selling our condo was complicated, we are so grateful that Nicki was there to make it happen. Her team was efficient and effective in delivering results. She runs a tight ship.

My wife and I are first time home buyers and Manu was our realtor…read more We got our dream house with her but I'm going to try and be objective in this review. Manu has been in the business for a long time now. The connections she has came in clutch multiple times. We got a phenomenal interest rate through her contact, got really helpful escrow people, and had multiple instances of going to open houses and name-dropping her as our agent. People in the business recognize her. You have to understand what you get with Manu though. She played every single move the safest way it could be played. We didn't put multiple offers - only one house at a time. We had contingencies to protect our bids from bad evaluations. Even celebrating the closing was only Manu-approved after the loan was approved and the docs were signed. All of which I appreciate because I'm fairly risk averse. Manu's team is a powerhouse. She made every deadline with room to spare. She was also really good at dealing with my bad mood and stress (real estate is brutal). Although towards the end I think she was a little grateful to be done with us lol. Her MO is also to give you a customized portal in MLS for houses but full honesty, my wife and her house hunting doom scrolling probably found more houses. The house we ended up buying too didn't make it through the filters. She also only comes to open houses after you like them. So she's not going to spoon feed you everything but she makes those expectations pretty clear straight away. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that her advice was a big part of why we stepped up from looking at smaller townhouses to a single family home. No regrets there. Now one month into living at the new house, we did learn some things the hard way like home warranties are fairly useless, Yelp and Home Depot are your best friends, and if you call someone for a free inspection, they're honor bound to find something stupid for you to have to fix. So yeah again, you're not going to be spoonfed everything. So why 5 stars? I did get my dream house. And this whole experience was possibly the most stressful thing I've ever done in my life. Through it, Manu and her team were a good group of people to have in my corner.

Managing these two processes at the same time can be quite stressful, but Manu's expertise made it feel seamless. Before meeting her, we had spoken with several other realtors, and the experience felt overwhelming. With Manu, it was immediately clear that she has deep knowledge of local schools and neighborhoods. She is very competent, straightforward, and gets you results without any gimmicks. Her negotiation skills are impressive, and thanks to her, both our purchase and sale went smoothly. She is also very practical--recommending only the essential upgrades that truly add value--and connects you with reliable contractors to get things done efficiently. We highly recommend her--she is truly everything she claims in her radio ads and more!

We recently worked with Laura to pull market comparables for our home in San Francisco, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional. We initially connected with her through our business school alumni network and already knew of her stellar reputation, as she had successfully helped two of our friends navigate their own home puchases/ sales in the city. The current SF market is moving incredibly fast--especially with the recent AI boom--and because inventory is so tight, finding accurate comps for a unique property can be a challenge. We had done a significant amount of "homework" before reaching out, but Laura's insight was invaluable. After working with her for a week, we were impressed by her market knowledge-- the data was well-supported by nuanced judgement that confirmed our own research and gave us much-needed confidence in our valuation. Ultimately, we decided not to put our home on the market at this time, but this process gave us a glimpse into the level of professionalism and expertise Laura brings to a real transaction. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends or colleagues looking for a sharp, reliable RE advisor in San Francisco.

She just sold a 2nd property for me and found a buyer in less than 2 weeks in a neighborhood where houses were staying on the market for month.

The first property she sold for me was not in the greatest shape and Laura got way more (bidding war) than I thought it was worth and she sold that property quickly also.
