I had to sell my house on short notice. Initially, after a very poor experience with Keller…read moreWilliams, I researched a competent and knowledgeable real estate agent, Brittany Armenta. She met with me the next day after having wasted months with a different agent, and wow, I was blown away. Brittany knew the market inside and out and had the confidence to do what needed to be done to make a quick sale happen. She was as prepared as it gets, super communicative, and understand how to deal with the intricacies of my particular sale. I kid you not - within six days of going live on the market, we had an offer over the asking price with most contingencies waived. The open house was flowing with people despite the unfavorable weather and the issues with my solar loan. No problem was too big for her and her team to handle. If I needed extra boxes, they were delivered. She negotiated on my behalf with her vendors to get inspections done ahead of time (a sales tactic that worked well). She is also personable and genuinely cares about your situation. She makes time for you regardless of how busy she is. Her communication skills are top notch and the best of any realtor I've ever worked with. The irony is I had the polar opposite experience with a different agent at the same office, but don't let that dissuade you from working with one of the best real estate agents in the Bay Area. Brittany uses the latest technology and sales techniques to present your house in the best possible light while disregarding the minor details that do not matter. Hire her if you want to sell for top dollar and work with a team who knows what they are doing. She is the best.

From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, organized, and truly had our best interests in mind every step of the way. Selling a home and aligning it with the purchase of a new one can be stressful, but Leticia made the entire process feel smooth and manageable with her guidance and constant communication. She went above and beyond to answer our questions, keep us informed, and ensure everything stayed on track. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication really stood out, and we always felt supported during such an important transition. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend Leticia to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you again for helping us successfully sell our home!

It's been several years since we purchased our home but even now after much reflection, if I were…read moreto choose an agent, I'd choose someone else. We did end up buying a house but it was at times challenging and frustrating. It's always hard to know what is supposed to happen when you are a first time buyer. Right from the start I was irritated by the fact that their office had little patience nor courtesy for people of different cultures. The one thing that made us choose them was their knowledge of programs that no one else educated us about. We ended up not needing the special programs, but Rick Fuller's group caught our attention because of their willingness to help and explain this stuff. We met them by chance when visiting a open house in Antioch. But let me summarize everything that went wrong after that and how this should matter to others like us. We had other family who were stakeholders in this purchase, but they do not speak English. During our consultations, our agent as well as the lady that the Fuller team worked with that does the financing made it a complete nightmare and showed little patience for me and our family, not only for me trying to understand everything, but also for me in trying to translate this all in real time back to everyone else in another language. It was not only difficult for me, but there was zero concern from the Fuller team that they cared about everyone involved understanding what we were getting into, particularly with financing. It took numerous demands from me to the finance person to STOP calling me on the fly asking me questions and to make decisions on the spot and requesting her to email instead so I can translate it back to others. She simply would not do it and would call and call me at work until she got the answer she wanted. Eventually, I had to demand to work with someone else. In hindsight I should have revoked my consent with everyone involved. We did not have a great connection with our real estate agent, though I give her kudos for trying. She never seemed to really get what we were in the market for so we did a lot of searching on our own. At one point, we found an amazing house in Vallejo, only to be told (by the same finance lady) that the loan limits in Solano are not the same and we couldn't get the house. Sad thing is, neither our agent nor the finance lady mentioned this after we had looked at numerous houses in Vallejo. Another strike for these guys. Ultimately we found a house on our own and ended up purchasing it. The process went quickly after that, albeit with more of the "we don't care that you have to translate any of this to someone else" drama as long as someone signs the paperwork. There's more to the story, but I will summarize with this...after we purchased our home, with most of it feeling very transactional and not personalized, we never really saw our agent after that and felt exactly that, the transaction was done. One would think that you'd get a nice gift given they made a bunch of money (like $20K+) doing not a whole lot but giving you stress. Well, we received a $20 Amazon Echo in the mail as a gift. It's essentially a cheap clock, which of course, in our culture, means death (and is pretty worthless for the rest of the family that doesn't speak English). Google is free. Just unbelievable. How are you going to assist families with life decisions like this and not attempt to understand anything about them is beyond me.

Who can say they actually had an awesome loan experience???...I can! We then provided Noelle with a checklist of "must haves and wants" for our new home. She listened and made us feel like valued customers. Noelle found, then quickly negotiated us into our current, beautiful deep water home. (View and sunsets are like none other!) We couldn't be happier with Noelle and her entire team. Noelle exceeded all of our expectations and we strongly recommend her. We're looking forward to working with Noelle in the year ahead again!

5 Stars -- 4 Years, 2 Tenants, Zero Headaches…read more When we purchased our Oakley home, we knew eventually we'd need a property manager we could trust. Four years later, after two separate tenants (each staying about two years), I can honestly say hiring Marianne was one of the best decisions we've made as homeowners. For the last four years, Marianne has handled absolutely everything. Tenant placement, tenant communication, repairs, maintenance, vendor coordination, inspections, lease renewals, move-outs, move-ins--you name it. As out-of-area owners raising a family and juggling full-time careers, we never had to lift a finger. Whenever an issue came up, we usually knew about it only after Marianne had already taken care of it. She has built an incredible network of contractors and service providers who are responsive, fairly priced, and get the job done right. We never had to spend weekends chasing plumbers, calling handymen, coordinating repairs, or dealing with tenant concerns. Marianne handled it all. What impressed us most was her ability to consistently place and retain quality tenants. Over four years we had only two tenants, each staying approximately two years. That kind of stability doesn't happen by accident--it comes from excellent screening, strong communication, and proactive property management. Now comes the ultimate endorsement. After four years of trusting Marianne with our investment property, we've decided to sell the home. We didn't interview multiple listing agents. We didn't shop around. The decision was easy. Marianne has gone from being our trusted property manager to our listing agent. When someone successfully manages one of your largest financial assets for four years, earns your trust, protects your investment, and consistently delivers results, there's nobody else you'd rather have representing you when it's time to sell. In a world where good service is becoming harder to find, Marianne is the real deal: knowledgeable, responsive, honest, proactive, and fiercely dedicated to her clients. If you're looking for a property manager, stop searching. If you're looking for a Realtor, stop searching. Marianne is the person you want in your corner. Thank you, Marianne, for making four years of property ownership feel effortless. We're excited to continue this journey with you as we transition from landlord clients to home sellers. Highly recommended without hesitation.

I've looked at all these reviews and there was one where someone said she is a "pit bull with…read morelipstick" and, honestly, that sums her up. Marianne is so knowledgeable, hardworking, and will fight to the end of the earth for her clients. She also deeply cares for the people she represents. I know she's working in my best interest always. She handled the sale of my mom's home that was within a trust, out of the area, and filled with two generations of stuff. I was an emotional wreck and she came in and guided me through it all. We got over asking, all cash deal within 10 days of going to market. Above and beyond work every day -- from clean up, to prep, to staging, to marketing, to negotiating. I'm just so fortunate to have had Marianne represent me. I can't emphasize enough how hard the whole selling decision was for me. She was patient, we explored various options together. When we ultimately decided the right decision was to sell, she sprang into action and got it done quickly so I could move on from a heartbreaking situation. Her style is uniquely hers. There's no bullshit. Marianne is going to tell it to you straight, but I personally wouldn't want it any other way. I can't say enough great things about Marianne!!! Hire her; you won't regret it.

She possesses the qualities of a great Property Manager for she is very knowledgeable of real estate property laws, hard-working, assertive, patient, conscientious, quick in responding to my inquiries, exuding grace under fire in times of stressful situation, and her negotiation skills are awesome.

She is one of the reasons why we can go on living a stress-free life now, and my only regret is, how I wish I could have found and hired her sooner.

Carol made buying a house easy…read more This was the 3rd home I had purchased. The other 2 times, I was married. My ex husband worked directly with the realtor and bank. He used the same realtor for both transactions. This time, I wanted to find a different realtor. A true fresh start. I heard great things about Carol and saw that she had several positive Yelp listings. The minute I met her, I realized that I was getting superior service -- the likes I had not experienced before. Carol wants to help people find homes that they can afford - a place for folks to root and become part of the community. She made sure to talk to me about Mello Roos - something I was unfamiliar with and depending on the home we found -- could make qualifying difficult. Every comp she pulled, she made sure to review the tax expectations with me. We visited a home that I fell in love with. It was beautiful. But Carol keenly picked up on the neighboring tree roots that had taken over the back yard. She provided risk assessment and gave me ideas to mitigate risk -- should I intend to put an offer on the house. We ended up NOT going for that property. I appreciate her calling that to my attention. It was clear to me at that time that Carol is not motivated by the size of her commission - she wants to help people find the RIGHT home. Carol has established relationships with builders and property assessment vendors. This trusted relationship provided me as her client quick turn around of information and opportunities. She is respected by her peers. Even the sellers of my home loved working with Carol and would have tried to snatch her from me, if they could have :). Carol worked with my Lender effortlessly. This was a new Lender for her to work with and she was incredibly efficient with her communication. We did not have any transaction delays because they worked so well together (HOMESTREET LENDING -- awesome place!). Carol picked up her phone when I texted or called. When you are in the middle of a real estate transaction - you want to be able to get a hold of your realtor quickly. Thank you Carol for never leaving me alone with my spinning questions :) If you are looking for a realtor -- I assume you are looking for someone to help you navigate through this process (which changes depending on the market) and you need a partner who will look out for YOUR best interest. Someone who will represent you. I assume that you need to trust and have confidence in your agent. I had this with Carol -- I would highly recommend her to ANYONE looking to purchase or sell a property. She knows a great deal about her market and how to treat her customers. Happy Hunting!
