Our family feels incredibly blessed to have met Anita! We met her at an open house, and we'll never forget how she graciously spent over an hour educating us about every aspect of home buying, even though we were complete strangers at the time. From that very first meeting, we felt an instant connection. With Anita's patience and guidance, we were able to find and close on our dream home! She made the entire experience such a pleasure -- always keeping us positive, never rushing us, and constantly reminding us that the right home was out there waiting for us. And she was absolutely right! Working with Anita truly felt like working with a longtime friend. Her warmth, professionalism, and dedication turned what could have been a stressful process into an incredibly positive and memorable experience. read more

Anita was a fantastic partner in helping us find and close on a house. It was our first time buying a house and her knowledge and guidance was super helpful. She was able to answer all of our questions put us in contact with resources we needed and always kept a positive outlook. Highly recommend if you are looking for an agent. read more

Anita helped us close on our first home. It was a very long process because we were not in a rush but Anita got to know our family (and our newborn!) to know exactly what we were looking for. We ended up finding the perfect home in Alameda and Anita helped walk us through the process + set expectations so the closing process went very smoothly. She was always available to chat, not afraid to give her honest opinion, and easy to talk to during what is an exciting but stressful decision in life. We love Anita and highly recommend her to all looking for a realtor! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Anita, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we met her, she was patient, attentive, and always willing to answer our many questions. Thanks to her expertise, connections in Alameda and dedication, we were able to find our perfect forever home in just a little over 1.5 months after we began working together. Anita made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent in Alameda!! read more

Anita was our buyer's agent who helped us as first time home owners buy our dream property in Alameda. We met Anita at an open house ~2 years prior to when we ended up purchasing, and we've worked with her since then while we were still in the browsing stage. Anita impressed us over other agents for her tenacity, dedication to getting to know her buyers, information and knowledge about the Alameda market, and getting her *honest* opinion---good or bad about a property. Even though we weren't actively looking during that entire two year period, Anita was always checking in on us, sending us properties, seeing how our needs / budget had changed. We can honestly say that we wouldn't have found our property without Anita--as it was an off-market listing. The property checked all of our boxes, was within budget, and seemed like a good investment. We are so excited to move in and Anita has been super helpful in all the other closing tasks from sewer lateral to referring us to different painters. In a hot market, Anita puts in a crazy amount of effort to make her clients happy. She makes herself available and is super responsive. I highly recommend working with her to find your next property in Alameda or the East Bay! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Anita and would absolutely recommend working with her. She helped us find a home that matched our needs and budget. She listened to our concerns, was patient with our many questions as a first time home buyers, and was always professional. The process from first discussion to closing took only 1 month, and she made the experience very easy for us. We were able to get under contract in by our 2nd offer, which is incredibly fast in this highly competitive market. She has strong connections with lenders that enable a quick closing timeline, which was very helpful for us. Overall, it was a pleasure to work with someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Anita, and we would highly recommend her. read more

We absolutely loved working with Anita for our home purchase in Alameda. She is really knowledgeable about the Bay Area real estate market and was able to give us guidance that ultimately ended in a successful home purchase in the very competitive Alameda market. As first-time home buyers in CA, she was so helpful with walking us through the process and helping us understand all the moving parts. We had a very quick, slightly complicated escrow process and she helped keep us on task and on schedule. I would 100% recommend Anita to anyone in the market! read more

I loved working with Anita. She helped me through the difficult process of selling my home, during a difficult time in my life. She knows the bay area market well and will help you through each step in buying or selling your home. In addition to familiarity with the usual single-family residences and condos/townhomes, familiarity with co-ops is also a strong point of hers. There were numerous times when she went out of her way to make my life easier; something I'm sure that not every real estate agent would be willing to do. Along with the many skills of hers that I've described above, her friendly personality and sense of humor made it a real pleasure to sell my home with the commitment, diligence, and professionalism of Anita Perez. read more

Anita is a fantastic realtor. I worked with her for about 1 month before I was able to purchase my first home with her. I liked how she was efficient, responsive, and easy going. Anita sent me new home listings as soon as they appeared on market (along with off market listings as well) and would always line up as many homes to view as possible on a given single day. The routes were always well planned with no back and forth driving Responsiveness is critical when you are trying to buy a home as homes can close in an instant. I did not miss out on any homes that I was interested in putting in an offer for. In addition, Anita was always available by phone or text. I liked how I never felt pressured or influenced. Anita always gave an honest opinion and was knowledgeable. She was able to come up with estimates of rent, cost of home, cost of any potential fixes, etc. Anita was always respectful no matter what questions I asked Even after closing, Anita did not abandon me and still answered any questions I had. I would recommend her to anyone and would consider her for any future home purchases as well read more

I had a great experience working with Anita! I had been casually looking at homes in Alameda for about a year when my friend forwarded me an off-market listing she'd received from Anita. Once we started working together, she helped accelerate my home search and ultimately get me into a wonderful home in a low inventory market. She is deeply immersed in the local Alameda market which helped guide my home search and offer process. She truly listened to what I wanted in a home and brought me some great options that I wouldn't have considered looking on my own. I'm a single mom, and she went above and beyond to help me get settled in here in Alameda. I'm very glad for her help! read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Anita and I can't recommend her enough. Anita was not only professional but also genuinely nice and we are very grateful to have her on our team. In our situation we ended up negotiating our initial offer directly with the seller (who was our landlord). But Anita helped us actually put together the paperwork to put in the offer and close and her assistance was invaluable. When your life savings is on the line weeding through legal jargon with tight deadlines is pretty intimidating, but Anita guided us through each step with expertise. Anita also took the time to explain how the findings of the inspection might affect the market value of the property, which was incredibly helpful. Her insights helped us make informed decisions throughout the process. And she helped us use this information in negotiating our final contract, ensuring that our interests were well-represented. I highly recommend Anita to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate broker. She made a potentially stressful process much smoother and helped us feel like we fully understood the process and we're now in our new home! read more

It was our first time buying a home at the start of the 2021 year. (it's a competitive market rn) Throughout the process, Anita was always professional and gave insightful advice. She really put in the effort to get to know us, our wants, and our needs. That's saying a lot because we went in with one thing and changed what we were looking for every week as we saw more houses. The constant change of wants didn't shake Anita though, she got to know us and showed us an area we didn't even consider. She absolutely nailed it with that suggestion. That would never have been possible if she wasn't putting in the effort to know who we were. We never once felt pressured by her to buy a house, it was always us first. If you're a first-time home buyer and need a guide, Anita is it!!! If you're not a first-time home buyer, she's just so great to work with, she's still it!!! We don't miss the stress and anxiety as we're waiting for the result of a bid but we definitely miss house hunting with Anita. She really makes the whole experience enjoyable. read more

I'm recommending Anita Perez as a realtor to everyone that I know. Anita assisted me with the sale of my condo here in the Bay Area. Not only did she hold me accountable to the timeline I set with her during our consultation, but the recommendations she made allowed my dated condo to be more visually appealing to all audiences. Not only did she find and arrange the right contractor to the do the job, she also found the cleaning people all within my price range and tight timeframe. The value she proposed of my condo (in a declining market - during COVID), was spot on and allowed me to be competitive with my listing price. She ended up negotiating with two buyers that were not letting up on their bids. I came out with my condo being listed for 7 days and closing within 10, well over my asking price. Thank you Anita for your guidance, professionalism and negotiating skills, you were truly a value to my selling experience. read more

We worked with Anita to buy our first home in Alameda. Anita was amazing. She answered all of our questions, got back to us quickly, and proactively made sure to inform us of everything throughout the process. Anita was also very patient throughout the process and didn't pressure us one way or the other. She also proved to be very knowledgeable and provided definitive answers. We were able to close very seamlessly and ahead of schedule in large part thanks to Anita. read more

Anita definitely became so much more than our realtor! She went on this year long journey to find a home with us. There were tears, anger, frustration, Moments where we wanted to give up; but, Anita was always there for us. She became part of our family! A whole year after we started this journey we are finally home owners! We are so thankful to Anita and the Keller Williams team for helping us through this process! read more

Anita Perez | Founder, Realty By Anita | Compass REALTOR® - FIRST TIME HOME OWNERS ‍‍‍ - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Alameda, California

We are so grateful for Anita and highly recommend her! My fiancé and I actually found Anita by looking through Yelp and other local recommendations because we wanted someone who would listen to us and what we were looking for and who also knew Alameda and the surrounding areas. I'm so glad we ended up choosing Anita because we ended up in the home of our dreams thanks to her expertise, hard work, and sound advice. 1) Knows her clients and the market: From our first meeting with Anita, she listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and spent time getting to know us. She also shared a lot of helpful tips about the market and gave us valuable information about the neighborhoods we were interested in and recommendations on other areas to consider based on our interests. Based on her knowledge of Alameda and what we wanted in terms of location and community, Anita recommended a neighborhood that we weren't familiar with, and after exploring it more, we realized it was perfect for us! 2) Reliable, hard working, and gives her clients individualized attention and support: In addition to letting us know about upcoming listings and reaching out to sellers agents in the area for valuable information on listings we were interested in, Anita helped us through her connections in the area and by keeping her eye out for opportunities for her clients. Within a month from our first call with her, Anita found us an an off market home in an ideal location, got us in for a viewing quickly, and helped us craft an offer strategy that resulted in the seller accepting our offer! Even after getting us into contract on the home of our dreams, Anita was proactive throughout escrow and closing to tie up loose ends and keep us in the loop on what to expect at each stage of the process. She always made us feel like a top priority, and it was nice to have such a dedicated agent to work closely with while also having the benefit of the resources and connections from the larger Guy Blume group. 3) Calm and trustworthy voice in a chaotic process: We learned how much better the home buying process is when you work with an agent you trust. We trusted Anita's expertise and guidance, and we always felt confident that she was acting in our best interest. Anita genuinely cares about helping her clients, and her kind and calm persona makes her very easy to get along with. There were many times when I was stressing out about a tiny detail (or sometimes big ones) and she would either help us resolve the issue or assure us that it wouldn't be a problem - and she was always right! We looked forward to our check ins with her, and working with her made what could have been a very stressful process a lot easier and surprisingly fun. If you're reading reviews of Bay Area agents and feeling lost about who to trust with such a big moment in your life, I highly recommend reaching out to Anita :) read more

Anita is a very reliable realtor and was referred by my sister (yes, she helped my sister got a house too) because my husband and I were looking for Alameda properties. She is full of knowledge of this area and very responsive. She helped us (but not limited to) finding houses based on our criteria, bringing us to see different types of houses, explaining what to expect, and finding contractors for our need (hassle free!), etc. We are happy that we got a house with a reasonable price range in this competitive market in less than one week. Communication is the key and she nailed it. I'd highly recommend her to my relatives and friends. read more

I met Anita from a casual open house in Alameda. She then asked for my contact information and we met up soon after. We instantly connected and ended up talking for hours! My father and I have been looking here and there for a over a year now but never really serious as we were in no rush to buy and were rejected from previous offers. Also because I was super nervous about buying a home. Feeling discouraged, Anita came at the right time. Anita isn't pushy at all but yet very attentive. She answered all my questions and dealt with all the back and forth between my father and I. We all know how crazy our Asian parents can be. Anita was able to filter out between what we wanted vs what we could afford. After a couple months, I can't believe our offer got accepted and here I am, single-mom home owner. I'm very grateful to have met Anita! She was there every step of the way, I highly recommend her! read more

Hello, We started working with Guy and Anita as we wanted to work with experts in the Alameda Real Estate market to help navigate an unknown city. After a few showings, they were quick to calibrate to our requirements. Anita has been flexible when needed and patient throughout the journey. Her guidance has aided us in making accurate decisions. Thanks to their knowledge and guidance we are First Time Homeowners in the challenging Bay Area market. It has been an absolute pleasure working with both of them and would highly recommend their service. read more

We worked with Anita on the purchase of our first home in Alameda, CA. We are foreigners and very new to the home buying process in the United States. Anita helped us understand the offer process, how to write competitive offers, find the right lender. We landed our desired home in 3 weeks at a price point well below the original listing price even though Alameda is a very competitive market. We received support both from Anita and her team too (Anita was in the 9th month of her pregnancy and still super responsive). We highly recommend her and her group at Guy Blume Group read more

We met Anita by casually touring an open house that she was hosting. What really impressed us about her was the amount of time she spent getting to know us and what we were looking for and the hustle that she put in to getting us everything that we needed. She really knows the Alameda area, including off-market properties or properties that would only be up for sale for a very brief time. As first time home buyers in a really competitive market, Anita was able to walk us through each step of what to expect and helped us successfully navigate the process. We never really thought we would be able to buy in Alameda but here we are in our dream home thanks to the guidance and expertise of Anita! read more

It has been a pleasure working with Anita as our Real Estate agent. She is: Very Professional - Responsive to all our inquiries. - She showed up on time for every appointment. - Communicative on next steps. - Great with follow-ups. Patient - She took time to explain the process, paperworks and important disclosures. Flexible - She worked within our busy schedule. Transparent - We were made aware of the pros/cons of each property we saw. Strategic - She made a very compelling offer without increasing our purchase price. Knowledgeable/Experienced - She had answers to any scenarios that we thought of. Kind - She was very friendly and easy to work with. We felt that our "wishlist" was respected. Working with Anita was a very smooth experience. We believe that we got the best deal for our purchase price through Anita's expertise. We highly recommend her. read more

We recently bought our first home as a married couple (husband had bought before). We had been working with another realtor for about a year, but lost trust and decided to work with Anita who I had met through a local mother's group. BEST decision ever! We immediately felt more comfortable because she was never pushy. She is calm, direct, honest, hard working, responsive. We really appreciated how she made a stressful process smooth and less scary. And...We closed maybe 2 months after starting to work with her! She helped us in ways we didn't even know we needed (like getting the sellers to pay for a home warranty, helping us get a better mortgage rate, and including things in the contract that we wouldn't have thought of that were beneficial), and was there every step of the way. When we hit a small snag in the final walkthrough, she went above and beyond to make it right with us. We are so glad we found her and would recommend her to anyone else on the market! read more

My boyfriend and I just closed on a condo with the help of Anita. We are first time home buyers, so this whole experience was new and sometimes confusing, but it was made manageable and even enjoyable with Anita's help. I always felt like she was on our side and gave us good advice when it came to some tough situations like knowing how much to counter with and getting a fast inspection and appraisal. On top of all of that, she was able to keep our closing on schedule even when the COVID-19 shelter in place order went into effect. I highly recommend working with Anita, especially if you are first time home buyers. She will be with you every step of the way guiding with patience and experience. read more

We had a great experience working with Anita during our recent home buying process. We are first time buyers in Bay Area and had been in the market several months before we started working with her. We could instantly sense the difference, as we were able to see houses closer to our preference. She has many qualities, proficiency, professionalism, quick response, attention to details to name a few. She provides great feedback and never pressurizes into anything, and soon after we were able to secure our home. She continued to provide support after the close of escrow till we moved in, provided numerous tips and useful information to make transition as smooth as possible. All throughout, we can sense that personal touch working with her, and would like to thank her all the way for making it happen. read more

Anita just helped us close on our first home in an extremely intense and competitive Bay Area market. She did an excellent job of representing us. As first-time buyers we had a lot to learn about home buying and evaluating condos/houses, and Anita provided stellar counsel from start to finish. One thing we will always be grateful for is the fact that she kept us focused on our goals (so we did not end up making any compromises on what we initially set out to buy) and provided us with options for being competitive but never pressured. Our first home is everything we hoped for and what's even crazier about it is we found and closed on the home within the period we set out to search and at a lower purchase price than we would have been willing to offer! We would happily recommend her to anyone searching in this competitive market--especially to first-time home buyers. Her commitment, responsiveness and effective communication with listing agents really served us well. read more

Anita was great. Anita was very patient  and flexible with us when we were touring houses. We were impressed by her responsiveness and her positive attitude.  We were first time home buyers and Anita was always there to calm our nerves, answer all our questions and we could confidently trust in her insights. Anita also offered us several off-market opportunities. With her help and her associate Guy Blume we were able to find and close our dream home in Alameda . We would whole heartedly recommend Anita Perez . read more

Anita is absolutely fantastic to work with and got me into my first home!! As a single mother in the Bay Area I never imagined I'd be able to fulfill my dream of owning a home. After meeting Anita, I soon realized it wasn't impossible. After working tirelessly to find the perfect home to meet all of my needs (and then some), she was there every step of the way to guide me through the process and answer my millions of questions. She reassured me along the way and continues to communicate with me now when questions arise. She has even gone above and beyond to take care of appointments at my new home for me when I couldn't be there. I consider her a friend and I highly recommend her. read more

Anita was great from start to finish. Our situation was a little different than the norm - we were helping a close family friend that has never been through the process and didn't speak much English. Anita was there every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, but not pushy. She helped to think through options. The whole process went about as smoothly as you could expect during a pandemic. I highly recommend her and would have no reservations about using her again in the future. Thanks, Anita! read more

Anita is the absolute best and I highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy a home! I talked to a number of realtors when I started my search for a home and what set Anita apart from others is the time she took to learn about me and what I wanted in a home. She was patient with me throughout the process, very responsive, and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way (including insightful strategies to make my offers more competitive). I really appreciate how much she cared about finding the perfect home for me, and how much work she put into making sure that I got a home I loved. Her strong reputation in the business, great relationships with other agents, and expertise of the Alameda market are the reasons why I successfully purchased my first home this month that exceeded my expectations. Even after my offer was accepted, Anita continued to advocate on my behalf to resolve issues raised during the mortgage loan process. Anita is so amazing to work with and I am beyond grateful I had her as my buying agent! read more

We first meet Anita at a listing that was way out of our price range. Anita was friendly and engaging without being pushy. We were just starting our buying journey and didn't have much experience. We tried working with another agent when we thought our geographical range was a bit wider, but once we realized that we wanted to stay in Alameda (and after talking to other agents) we quickly picked up the phone and got Anita on our team! We went through so many questions, pros, and cons and had requests to tour houses ASAP. Anita was accessible, quick to answer our calls/texts, and made sure we knew what was happening at each step of the way. We were able to stay in Alameda and find a house in our price range. My family and I are so grateful for Anita's hard work, honest approach to business, and amazing reputation! read more

Anita was our realtor for a recent home purchase in Alameda. She was always available, very knowledgable, and had great relationships with other realtors and vendors. She worked hard on our behalf and we were extremely happy working with her. I highly recommend her and would use her again in the future. read more

Thanks to Anita's expertise and masterful real estate experience, my husband and I were able to purchase a home in the tough Bay Area market! We met Anita at an open-house and from that first meeting, it was clear she cared about working WITH and FOR us. She helped us understand the East Bay region and her expertise in the home-buying process during our first meeting, including key pitfalls to avoid, and key recommendations that made all the difference in this process (i.e. coordinating between lenders and agents). During the home-buying process, she provided us with personalized support through multiple offers, negotiated with our lender to make the most competitive offers that placed us multiple times in the top 3 offers for review, was always responsive when we had questions, and also proactive herself about updates and things we needed to prepare for. We highly recommend working with Anita because she is a highly experienced professional, reliable, and dedicated to working with and for her clients through closing, and beyond! We are so happy in our new home thanks to Anita! read more

Anita Perez is absolutely amazing! We call her our "Shero". I highly recommend Anita to everyone I come across who is in the market for a home or looking to sell. Anita is very professional, exceptionally smart and SUPER proactive. Anita would call and text often to check in or with any information. She was wonderful at responding (even at odd times) and knew exactly when and how to seize on opportunities. Anita knows how to push back and negotiate like a boss, while somehow maintaining a very kind and friendly communication style. Anita was exactly what we needed and she miraculously got us our dream house for less than we should have paid. (It actually appraised higher than what we paid!) Additionally, Anita sold our condo for more than we thought possible! Anita was great at advocating for us and reeling us in when necessary by gently re-directing us. I completely trust her. She really got to know us and found out what exactly was important to us, and then she got it! We know we were very high maintaince and wanted a LOT. We asked for things that I don't think other people even ask for and didn't really have enough money to back it up. Anita was terrific at working with our weird parameters and making our dreams come true. We went through 4 realtors before Anita and just couldn't find the right fit until we met her. We were both shocked to hear that she closed on many properties within the same week that we closed on our dream house. We really felt like her only customer! From start to finish on both properties, Anita was superb. She advocated and found opportunities for us to boost our down payment and look great when we made offers. Even with the offers we didn't win, the other realtors loved our offer resulting in good connections and better future opportunities. Anita also took the lead and managed the work and team for selling our condo. She knew what was most important to buyers, what materials and professionals were needed to complete the jobs beautifully and negotiated all the costs and proposals to get the job done quickly, efficiently and under budget. (I would have definitely paid more and made mistakes on the sale if Anita hadn't managed the process.) Our condo sold very quickly and at a high price when others in the same building languished and dropped their price. I whole-heartily recommend Anita. She's awesome. read more

Anita was everything we could have asked for and more. We met Anita while we were just "casually" looking at open houses. Two months later (to the day!) we were getting the keys to our home. As first time homebuyers, we were completely overwhelmed by the prospect of buying a house. Anita is kind, professional and patient, and has helped us each step of the way, even after closing. We couldn't be happier and are glad that she's our neighbor now, too! read more

Anita showed us house after house and never gave up on us. We had searched for awhile, before, made a couple of offers, but we seemed to be competing with many other offers and unable to find a place. She was truly dedicated to finding our wonderful house! She provided not only her expertise but her connections and insights. We will be forever grateful for all of the help she gave us to find our forever home. We absolutely recommend enlisting Anita Perez to find you an amazing home! read more

Anita helped us buy our first home and answers all our questions. More then being a realtor she was a friend who knew how to help us find the perfect home for our family. We highly recommend her team. read more

We couldn't be happier for having selected Anita to represent us in buying our new home in Alameda. In this challenging market, she helped us purchase a delightful property in record time and for a price that we were pleased with. She listened to what we were looking for, sent us appropriate listings, made arrangements for us to get into places that weren't yet on the market, and provided thoughtful advice all along the way. We were especially grateful for how available Anita made herself, notwithstanding a number of requests from us for her time that came with little forewarning. Her client-focus is exceptional; we highly recommend her! read more
