Gabby is easily among the top handful of residential real estate agents in the state and probably the country. She is a caring, compassionate, ethical and nice person yet maintains the highest levels of professionalism, polish, responsiveness, patience and knowledge you would expect from someone who consistently receives the highest ratings from all her clients. Her intimate knowledge and intricate understanding of the west side/south bay is so deep and so broad that she provides a level of expertise rarely encountered in any profession. And that is just the beginning.
The thing that truly sets Gabby apart in addition to knowing her market, she also knows her customers. She genuinely listens, observes and provides straightforward feedback and realistic options. She is equal parts real estate expert, therapist, Zen philosopher, and determined team leader. For example, my wife and I have been separated for many years but decided to buy a duplex together so we could both live close to the children but still live separate lives. We had specific requirements related to the number of bed and bathrooms in each unit. We also wanted to be in a great public school district because our children are reaching high school age. We also wanted to live in a beach community but wanted to stay within a certain financial range. To complicate matters even more, we plan to develop the land into new townhouses for sale after the children are out of high school so we wanted a building we would love and be proud to call home for the better part of a decade but then level for new construction to be sold at a profit. Oh yes, we needed to sell another piece of property at a top of the market price at the same time we were buying to make it all happen - the timing was essential.
Gabby was able to find the exact right place for us, sell the other property establishing a new per square foot market high for comparables, and set us up with a loan broker who is another amazing professional who got us the best rate possible at the time. We absolutely love the new place and couldn't be happier about the way everything unfolded thanks to Gabby. There were moments that were stressful and times when I began to lose faith or feel overwhelmed by the process but Gabby was there every step of the way through words and actions.
The most fantastic aspect of the experience was seeing Gabby's fortitude and determination to get the job done, she possesses a deep reserve of sheer willpower and like a force of nature she moved rivers and mountains to help my ex and I start a new life for ourselves and our family. I've rarely met anyone so nice to be around yet so determined and driven - she is wonderful to work with.
I'll close with an additional observation: Gabby can refer you to just about any service provider you might need during and after the process who will provide excellent work at reasonable rates. She knows painters, electricians, lawyers, architects, gardeners, loan officers, carpenters, etc. When selling/buying a house, unexpected things happen. Her ability to pick up the phone and call someone to quickly solve virtually any real estate related problem significantly enhanced the process and reduced stress. Gabby is the best at what she does. read more
