My husband and I have changed our minds about 400 times regarding what we want to do in regards to buying a home and selling our house, each time Marina stuck it out with us. She was professional each time, never appeared frustrated or annoyed, and even went out of her way help us complete all our home upgrades (spanning two years) by providing us with wonderful contractors who worked diligently to get our needs met. Not only that but through the buying and selling process she answered every single question we had without complaint. She works efficiently, diligently and so well with everyone she encounters. Marina was on vacation when we decided we wanted to put an offer down, and once again, she went above and beyond and continued working with us, often waiting up until 2 or 3am to get our needs met. Marina is a wonderful agent, and is truly in this business to se people get their dream homes. If you want an agent who is hard working, on your side, knows the business inside and out, has many resources, and is willing to work wherever and whenever for your benefit, then Marina is the perfect fit. Again, I highly recommend Marina to EVERYONE!!

Marina is seriously the best there is!! She is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects related to…read morereal estate. She is very diligent, responds very quickly and great attention to detail. For my husband and I, it was most important to find someone who was patient with us since we are new to the area and for me, I am a first time homeowner so I had absolutely no idea about buying a house. Marina is so extremely patient, she answered all our questions without any complaints and walked us through the whole process. What I really loved was while we went to the open houses she told us about the quality of the products used by the sellers to upgrade parts of the house, she also suggested improvements/renovations that we can do and actually telling us how much it would roughly cost so we could factor that into our decision. She has a vast amount of experience flipping homes in the area so that was extremely helpful. She also helped sell my husbands home in concord around the holidays, she drove up instantly told us what we needed done and helped us put the house on the market in just 2 weeks!! The speed she works at is just beyond amazing!! She has provided us with wonderful contractors to help us with minor renovations and even 8 months after buying our house, I still feel comfortable emailing her asking for recommendations for contractors and she is more than happy to help! If you want an agent who is patient, understands your needs, is on your side, knows the ins and outs of the business then Marina is the best there is! I have been recommending her to all my friends, family and colleagues who are looking to move to the Tri-Valley! I highly, highly recommend Marina!!

Nahid was the seller's agent when we bought our house. After living in the residence for some years…read morenow, we have discovered a lot of things that were not exactly true, or were covered up. The seller's inspection was a joke. We spent over $100k taking care of failing infrastructure problems that were either left out of the inspection or with seemingly false suggested mitigations. We had our own inspection done after purchase, and the inspector found a large number of issues that call into question the integrity or competence of the seller's inspector. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS AGENT WITHOUT INSISTING ON YOUR OWN INSPECTION. The property was apparently listed much too high for some time, and the seller was forced to drop the price significantly. Even then it stayed on the market for a long time, until we put in an offer, which the seller accepted. Our agent found out through the grapevine that after our offer was accepted, Nahid started shopping around trying to find a taker at the old listing price in a last ditch attempt to make more money. This is unethical behavior at least, perhaps illegal. I wonder what she would have done if she had found a taker at the higher price even though we already had a deal with the seller? Use caution if purchasing from this agent, though if you're a seller who doesn't care about ethics and wants maximum dollar for your property, perhaps this might be the agent for you.

We loved working with Michele. She was patient with our indecision around the type of home (condo?…read moretownhome? single family?) we were looking for, instead focusing on the benefits and drawbacks of individual options, not categories as a whole. She provided critical insight into local trends, helping us to maintain perspective even as the market was heating up. She was super responsive, which came in handy both while looking at homes and during an expedited close. Even more impressive, we ended up putting in an offer during a holiday week when she was traveling and she never missed a beat. She handled every detail possible for us, making the process far more seamless than we could have hoped. Michele didn't push us to spend more than we were comfortable with or to make decisions quickly. She was incredibly easy to work with and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

We had a fantastic experience working with Jessica to research homes in Santa Cruz County. Every…read morehome has its pros and cons and Jessica thoroughly pointed out the drawbacks to every option we considered. In particular, she did a great job walking us back from a few homes that tugged on our heartstrings but were impractical choices. Buying a home in Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, Felton, Scott's Valley, or Bonny Doon is very different than buying a home in Chicago, where we lived previously, and Jessica had deep knowledge on the factors to consider for each home along with the particularities of not just neighborhoods, but specific streets. She was in absolutely no rush for us to select a home, and a typical conversation would run for over an hour as we thought through a decision from many angles. Ultimately Jessica found our new home right after a significant price drop in an area that wasn't on our radar (Bonny Doon), but which we now prefer over the other locations we were considering. Through her existing relationship with the seller's agent, we landed on an offer below asking that was acceptable to the buyer and to us without having to go through an extended back and forth on price. Much of our work together was remote, and Jessica made many visits on our behalf to the property for video tours, inspections, etc, sometimes on the fly, even though it was quite distant from her home. We'd certainly work with Jessica again and wish her the best of luck!!

She listened to our dislikes and likes and curated home tours she felt would be within our scope and budget.

Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to homes in the Santa Cruz mountains. I'm so grateful to have gone through the home buying process with her! I strongly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home! Thank you Jessica!!

Buying a house from 3,000 miles away is a crazy idea, but Jessica made it work anyway…read more We tried other 5 star agents first. Fancy portfolios, polished pitches, no clue how to find what we wanted. Jessica knew. She sent us video after video and caught things other agents would've walked right past. She pointed us toward the good deals and flagged the landmines before we stepped on them. Nothing was beneath her or beyond her. She crawled into a bug-filled crawl space. She got blasted by an alarm sprinkler. She went to the library archives (the archives!) to research a property. All with the same unflappable chill, which is exactly what you want when your home search drags on and the market does not meet your expectations. She never pushed. She never sugarcoated. We could be blunt with her, she could be honest with us. Honestly, chatting with her made the whole thing oddly entertaining. We weren't expecting house hunting to be enjoyable. She made time whenever we were in town and dealt with the difficult agents so we didn't have to. And there are a lot of difficult agents out there. Jessica wanted us to find the right house, not just a house. She earned our trust and never dropped it.

It started to feel like homeownership might not even be possible for us. In January, we visited an open house where we met Jessica, and from the moment we spoke with her, we immediately connected. She was warm, personable, and easy to talk to. Even before we officially started working together, she went out of her way to send my husband listings--without us even asking--and somehow, every single one matched exactly what we were looking for. Once our previous contract ended, we scheduled a virtual meeting with Jessica to explore working together. After that conversation, it was an easy decision. She is incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely invested in her clients. She answered all of our questions in a way that was clear and easy to understand, and her transparency throughout the process immediately eased our anxieties. For the first time in months, the home-buying process felt exciting again. We were unsure about where we wanted to live and whether a townhome or single-family home would be the best fit. Jessica patiently walked us through the pros and cons of each option and helped guide us toward a decision that made sense for our future. Within just two months, we found a home we loved. We toured it on a Saturday afternoon, and by that evening, Jessica had already reviewed disclosures, contacted the listing agent, and prepared a strong offer. By Sunday night at 11 PM, we found out our offer was accepted! Even more incredible--we weren't the highest offer. We truly believe that Jessica's responsiveness, strategy, and strong communication made all the difference in helping us win our home. We are beyond grateful for Jessica and everything she did for us. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth, exciting, and ultimately successful. We can't recommend her enough!

Marylene has been a great support every step of the process: she is *very* responsive, she helps you understand what matters and what does not (which is very important because the flow of information is endless!), she gives her honest opinion about a property for your own sake and focuses on understanding you and your project. She also is surrounded by a very efficient team and partners, which further smoothes the overall process. Eventually, I managed to find a property I love within 2 weeks and closing escrow was a very smooth process for me. Overall, my home purchase experience was very positive and enjoyable thanks to Marylene. Therefore, I recommend her very highly.
