Maxine and Michelle are very professional and caring at the same time. They walked me through their options and I chose them for their honesty and integrity. My house sold in a few days and way over the asking price!!!! I got a superb return as well, as the remodel came in a lot less than expected. Both parties were very happy with the deal. Do not hesitate to use Mother/Daughter team because they'll have your back. Brad Nutcher read more

Working with the Dumas group was a five star experience from start to finish. Michelle and Maxine are a dynamic duo that bring incredible experience, knowledge and patience to the Bay Area home buying experience. They are extremely hard working and being an independent realtor team, they are especially scrappy, thorough and honest. Once the Dumas' helped us find the right home after viewing many listings, their hard work had just begun. Michelle helped us negotiate price, and was extremely thorough in lining up multiple inspections prior to close. As this was a first time for us, she guided us through the process with EXTREME patience and professionalism. After the sale, she has been just as helpful answering questions and helping us line up vendors to complete some work. I would 100% go with Maxine and Michelle Dumas in the future for any and all real estate needs. read more

It was a FIVE STAR PLUS experience to work with Maxine and Michelle on the sale of our family home. Their advice and expertise in representing the property was invaluable for an "as is" sale of a view property owned for 54 years. The Dumas office staff and escrow team along with their inspectors and vendors were prompt, professional and got the job done! They managed Disclosures, Inspections and Presentation of the property in a timely manner and followed up on every detail so that the house sold quickly to qualified buyers. I live out of state and wanted to work with a family owned business since I was not there during the time of sale. The Dumas Team were highly recommended and after interviewing several brokers, they checked all the boxes for me. Thank you, AMH read more

It was a pleasure working with Maxine and Michelle. The ladies were patient, helpful, and guided me through a difficult process. They are professional in every sense of the word. I can't imagine working with a better real estate team. My family and I are truly grateful for the services and support they assisted us with. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Dumas team if you are looking to buy or sell a home. read more

The short of it: I cannot recommend this dream team enough. Whether you're buying or selling, contact Maxine and Michelle. Full stop. Long story: The past few months have been nuts. Not only was I searching for a new house, I was also juggling being a full-time business owner with a rapidly growing workload alongside my fiancé being gravely ill in the hospital. I honestly thought we'd have to put the house on hold with everything going on, because it was so much to deal with at once. Enter Maxine and Michelle. They respected the stress I was under and made the house hunting process as seamless as possible. They understood exactly what I was looking for, what I was willing to compromise on, and where I drew the line both aesthetically and financially. I felt completely comfortable letting them take the reins while I focused my worries elsewhere. I never had any doubt in their ability to have my back, which is saying something, because I'm a notorious control freak. Now, I'm living in my dream house. I love it here, my fiancé loves it here, and we wouldn't have landed such an amazing property without Michelle's skill and expertise. And in such a competitive market, it took a shockingly short amount of time to find this house. On top of this, these badass babes recently sold my previous home. They handled all the alterations, renovations, and staging. They made the process incredibly easy, and I am beyond grateful. While they got my old place ready for sale, I was able to help my fiancé transition from the hospital to home life. I really thought selling the old place would be a major hassle, but it was effortless - at least on my part, as I am positive Maxine and Michelle put in a TON of work. Landing my dream home and selling my previous house quickly and efficiently are wonderful selling points, absolutely. But these ladies are so much more than superb businesswomen. They are warm, funny, and genuinely kind people. They were exemplary during a really hard time in my life. They took a process that is typically frustrating and turned it into something easy, straightforward, and truthfully, pretty fun. I never thought I'd associate fun with real estate, yet here we are. And so we circle back to my original point: Hire these women. You can thank me later. read more

Maxine & Michelle Dumas - San Carlos condo - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Carlos, California

My family and I just completed our first home purchase with Maxine and Michelle as our agents. What a truly wonderful experience. I could create a list of superlatives, which are all true -- punctuality, efficient and timely communication, attention to detail, broad awareness and expertise -- but I most credit our successful purchase to Maxine's and Michelle's carefully built relationships within the local real estate community. At each stage of the home buying process, an issue would arise and Michelle or Maxine would say, "I've got someone for that." Not only did they have "someone," but they had a direct line to the very best professionals in the area for every service -- lenders, appraisers, escrow agents, termite fumigators. The morning our offer was due on a home, Maxine and Michelle asked their foundation expert to walk the property and compare his findings with the formal disclosures. We were the only prospective buyers to take this step, and it directly led to our successful bid and purchase. This ability to "rally the troops," in a RE market where everything moves quickly and an edge is hard to find, puts Maxine and Michelle on a tier above their peers. We are indebted to them for their hard work on our behalf, and as a result (and also unexpectedly!) we will remember our home purchase experience fondly. read more

Back in early 2019, my husband and I were planning to sell our property in Redwood City, so we decided to move out first. Michelle was a listing agent for a San Carlos rental that we were interested in. I asked her via email if there were alternative times for the showing since the time she proposed didn't work for us. She rudely responded " Sorry that will not work" and just left it as that. She obviously was not interested in working with us. I'm assuming she had a lot of prospects for the rental property. Overall, I'm so glad we didn't use her as our realtor to represent us for our property with that type of communication. My advice to Michelle, work on your tone of voice because words are powerful if you're constantly working with the public. You can easily lose referrals and leads with bad customer service. read more

Maxine and Michelle made the process of selling our home easy. They followed through and completed every aspect of the process. They always had everything ready for me and completed on time. They did their homework, kept me updated and always in the loop. Their whole team showed great respect and knowledge throughout the whole process. read more

Michelle and Maxine are the best realtors I've known. They showed us many homes until the right one finally came along. They have gone above and beyond being helpful and patient and really cared about finding the right fit. They are extremely knowledgeable and have hooked us up with many companies to get extra inspections. They are always on time and great to work with. We definitely recommend them and will come back again and again. read more

We cannot even begin to state what a fabulous job Maxine and Michelle of Dumas and Company Real estate in San Carlos did in the sale of our home in San Mateo.

Thank you again so very much for your professionalism and restoring our faith that there are people out there who have principles and integrity. Barbara And Craig Hitchcock read more

Maxine and Michelle recently sold my home in Redwood City. These are the things that really stood out in my mind about this transaction: Maxine and Michelle possess amazing knowledge about real estate. Of course they know property values, but in addition, they also know the correct people to help prepare your property for sale and to close your transaction. They are the smartest and hardest working folks in real estate. I signed a listing agreement with Maxine and the very next day we had a plan of improvements to make to the property. Maxine and Michelle managed the entire plan and all of the contractors. This was very helpful and stress free and allowed me to focus on my own job. Overall, excellent customer service! You just don't find this anyplace.... Friendly, professional, personal service. Maxine loves to talk real estate. She kept me informed of this project and transaction every day via phone calls, text, and emails. Maxine knows what sellers need and what buyers want.... I simply decided to trust whatever Maxine and Michelle suggested and I was VERY happy. At ALL times, I allowed Maxine and Michelle to make decisions for me. This ranged from their suggestions to make repairs and improvements to my property and to choosing the contractors and suppliers and even choosing the colors for paint and carpet. I trusted their guidance during negotiation and acceptance of an offer. I never had any reason to second guess their decisions......and I was always pleased with the results. Excellent results. I am thrilled! My property sold in 4 days, with multiple offers, over asking price, with a quick, no hassle close of escrow. Even now as I write this, I can hardly believe that the sale of my house went as smoothly as it did. Thanks, Maxine and Michelle! You are the best! I highly recommend Dumas and Company for all of your real estate needs. read more

We love their attention to detail, their willingness to communicate multiple times a day, and their professionalism is beyond extraordinarily. I watched them transform the house across the street and prepare it for sale, which is when I first met them. When we found our dream home and had to sell quickly, Maxine Dumas and Company (inspectors, cleaners, painter, title company, etc) made it happen lightning fast. We love our home here, and with their help the new buyers will continue to enjoy this home.. We had a few snags along the way, and they helped keep us informed and positive when it felt like disaster. They excel in customer service and have been in business since 1977. They know what the heck they are doing, and we are beyond grateful. Thank you. read more

Maxine and Michelle Dumas were incredibly professional, efficient, and kind. During a global pandemic their attention how and when to show our house to keep clients safe was paramount. They worked with us keeping us informed as well as preparing the home for its best showing. We have recommended Maxine and Michelle to neighbors, friends and our family. They truly went above and beyond read more

Simply the best...in knowledge, experience and expertise. You can trust them with the sale or purchase of a home.

First of all, I agree with everything every other reviewer has already written. Maxine and Michelle are an incredible team who will help you sell the home you love, or find you your dream home. I have never seen two people work so seamlessly together, always thinking several steps ahead, looking out for you, and working tirelessly to make your dreams come true. They really cared about us, and it showed in their patience, persistence, and the after hours phone calls they returned when we were worried. From the moment we called them to say that we wanted to sell our home, to the happy moment after only 6 days on the market that they read us multiple offers, their experience showed. They have the most unbelievable behind the scenes team of skilled professionals who will make the home you love show brighter than you ever thought it could, they will market your home to bring in the most potential buyers, and they will help you sell quickly at your dream price. In the end, you will feel so very smart for having chosen them as your realtors. Thank you Maxine and Michelle for making our dreams come true. read more

We will definitely be back to work together with them when the next real estate project arrives. read more

Mom was right! Before my mom passed away, she told me to use Maxine Dumas as my realtor to sell her home. My mom spent years in the real estate business, was very astute, and knew the difference a good real estate person makes. During my mom's career, she worked with a lot of real estate people. She had first hand experience that Maxine was a smart, honest and hardworking real estate broker. So, I entrusted the sale of mom's home to Maxine. For your benefit, here are some of my findings from working with Maxine Dumas and her team: - Maxine knows the local real estate market and set appropriate expectations for the sale price and timing of the sale. She turned out to be pretty darn accurate. - Maxine counseled me on the importance of being thorough in preparing the real estate property disclosures and paperwork. The work I did in documenting the condition and upgrades to the house both served to increase prospective buyers' confidence (we got that feedback from a buyer) and protect me by setting honest expectations with buyers. This gave me peace of mind. - After she did all the preparation to sell the home, Maxine stopped to remind (educate) me on the advantages of just renting the house. Remember, no house sale means no real estate commissions. Maxine was focused on making money for me, not on her commissions. Yes, you read that right! That is the sign of someone invested in you as a client. Very unusual. Talk about honesty. In my long business career, I rarely saw that quality of character. - Maxine recommended improvements to the house paid for themselves. All the money I spent on pre-sale prep was money well spent. - Maxine has relationships with good local service providers (contractors, landscapers, painters, appraisers, home staging, inspections, cleaners). While I might have been leaving the area, the contractors have an ongoing relationship with Maxine Dumas, and work to keep her happy. - Maxine negotiated cost savings with contractors, which saved me money. Enough said. - Maxine, her daughter Michelle and her staff did all the project management. All work was completed to Maxine's high quality standards and completed on time. Even though we took good care of the house, the improvements really made a difference. - Maxine focused my attention on what was important and what issues weren't worth worrying about (I'm a worrier). As a result, no worries, just peace of mind. Oh, one more important point: Maxine did most all this work after I moved out of the area. Frankly, I was really worried about this. But, not to worry. No sweat and tears (for me). Frankly, leading up to putting the house of the market, I had a lot of angst. It turned out that my anxiety was a waste of time and energy. Maxine is very easy to work with. I enjoyed our frequent discussions and, yes, had fun. So, mom's advice paid off. Mom would never steer you wrong. Thanks Mom (and Maxine). read more

Maxine and Michelle are the best realtors we have ever worked with. After interviewing and attempting to buy a house through redfin directly we realized we needed major help and were so lucky we were referred to Maxine and Michelle. They have been buying and selling houses for decades and understand the nuances of every bay area neighborhood, as well as are fierce negotiators. In a "sellers" market they made it possible for us to not only find our forever home but also to negotiate our price. They are not just a realtor though, they have a deep contact list of the best inspectors, designers, plumbers, electricians in California. We feel so blessed to have worked with the Dumas family and can't say enough about how wonderful they are to work with. read more

Throughout my career we moved and bought/sold more homes than I care to remember. Far and away my experience with Maxine and Michelle Dumas at Dumas and Company in San Carlos was the most satisfying. We came into town from Colorado as Executors of my aunt's estate. The Dumas Agency was extremely professional and helpful in identifying, procuring and arranging an estate sale, licensed contractors and vendors for renovation, updating, inspections, staging and open house exposure. We were given their full attention from start to finish. As a result we went from listing to closing with money in the bank in 12 days. Maxine and Michelle are consummate professionals wholly devoted to serving their clients. They were a pleasure to work with. M and P Murphy read more

We worked with Michelle to sell and purchase our house recently. This is the 4th time we have worked with Michelle on our real estate needs. She is the best agents to work with, very professional, responsive, and personable at the same time. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable about the mid-peninsula market and pointed us to neighborhoods that would meet our needs. Our search for the house lasted quite a while due to low market inventory and COVID. Michelle showed us countless listings and helped us through. We really couldn't have done it without her. If you are looking for the best experience searching your dream home on the peninsula, look no further! We cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

As an attorney working in Estate and Trusts, I do not hesitate to recommend Maxine and Michelle to clients. Maxine and Michelle are full service realtors. They understand the emotional difficulties for clients selling the family home of a deceased loved one. They provide resources for any type of issue, whether it be repairs, clean up or storage. Also they provide expert advice on necessary repairs and "sprucing up" of a property to yield the maximum price.

With Maxine and Michelle on the job you are ensured to get the best possible price on the sale of real property. read more

Maxine and Michelle came highly recommended to me through friends. They know the housing market inside and out. If you are shopping for a house in the Bay Area, especially the mid-peninsula, they should be your realtors. My fiance and I interviewed a couple different realtors at first and it was clear that Dumas and Co. knew exactly what they were doing, asked the right questions and wanted to get down to business. They were always straightforward and honest but also family oriented and sweet. We were never pushed into buying something we weren't 100% on. Maxine and Michelle fostered our education in the housing market and made us into the informed buyers we are today. They've been in this business a long time, and their rapport with the community is great. It's because of their rapport and connections that I can say that we wouldn't have gotten the house that we are in today without their help. It's perfect and we're beyond appreciative! read more

I needed to sell my house in Daly City. This was the first time that I was selling a house so I didn't know how to get started. I did some research and I interviewed four realtors. However I really didn't feel comfortable with any of those four. My attorney recommended Maxine Dumas at the Dumas Company. I spoke with Maxine and she explained what her firm could do for me. I appreciated Maxine's friendly, helpful, low pressure advice. Maxine walked me through the entire home selling process. She helped me get the house ready for displaying. This included moving items out of the house, staging the house, landscaping, painting, deep cleaning the house, power washing the outside of the house and the walkways. The Open House was a huge success as there were a total of 55 visitors. There were 4 strong offers. I accepted one offer that was above my asking price. Escrow was closed in a very short time. Bottom line is that I am an extremely happy customer of the Dumas Company. The entire staff at the Dumas Company was a pleasure to work with. A great big shout out to Maxine and Michelle. I highly recommend the Dumas Company for all your real estate needs. read more

Maxine specializes in customer satisfaction with her deep knowledge and experience in real estate. Her devotion is absolutely priceless.

Customer service is easily lost these days but not with Maxine and Michelle Dumas. They have been outstanding in taking care of my wife and I as we looked at properties over the past year. Finally we were able to buy something out of foreclosure. It had its own unique set of difficulties and Maxine and Michelle helped steer us through all our questions and concerns. After the sale, they have been the same- helpful and available. I highly recommend them for any and all real estate needs you may have. read more

We were blown away by the professionalism and effectiveness of this real estate agency. Michelle Dumas was our realtor and we couldn't have been happier. Not only did they help my husband's family make an incredible sale, but Michelle then helped us find our perfect house. As we went through the stressful process of looking for a home, Michelle was always there to answer our texts, calls and emails. She gave us very strong advice and guided us through, while always listening to what it was that we wanted. We were able to see a lot of realtors working while we searched for a house, and many seemed to be showing up late to open houses, taking a long time to get back to people, etc. That would never happen if you work with Dumas and Co. Michelle is extremely professional. In fact, we got our house for asking price in a very tough market because of the quick action and savvy of Michelle Dumas. Highly recommended. read more

Maxine has now helped our family through 2 estate transactions since March and I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about her and daughter Michelle.

You cannot do any better should you need a Realtor. read more

If we could give more than a five star recommendation, we would do so without reservation. Maxine and and Michelle Dumas were extremely helpful in selling our home. They listened to what we wanted, advised us throughout the entire process, and quickly responded to any concerns we had. Selling a home is a very stressful experience and Maxine was always encouraging. They have an awesome team of contractors, landscapers, office help, etc., who are responsible and professional and a joy to work with.
