My wife and I recently purchased our first home and Cynthia was incredibly helpful throughout the process. She was always available and despite the fact that we knew she was working with other clients we truly felt like we were her only ones. Cynthia showed us a variety of houses and was very detail oriented which we appreciated. She helped through a rather overwhelming process and always stopped to explain or re-explain everything. Eventually, we found the house that was right for us and jumped on it. Cynthia knew our must haves and helped us negotiate to a point where we were comfortable making the largest purchase of our lives. Above all else, we always felt as though we were working with a kind, caring and genuine person whenever we spoke to Cynthia. I don't think you can go wrong if you put your trust in Cynthia!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Michelle to sell my one bedroom condo in San…read moreFrancisco. Right from the start Michelle was extremely responsive, professional, and was able to get the ball rolling with my listing in a very short amount of time. She was able to connect me to a great stager and a fabulous, reasonably priced handyman in short notice to prepare the listing - which made all the difference in getting it into a beautifully presentable state. Beyond that it was clear to me that Michelle both had great broad experience in real estate, as well as focused exposure and familiarity with the San Francisco market. As such, she was able to guide me at every step of the process which allowed me to make decisions with confidence. Ultimately I was able to sell my condo for above listing in a fairly crowded market at favorable terms. I am absolutely thrilled with the result. Selling experience aside, Michelle is a pleasant and fun person to talk to, and I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to work with her. Overall I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area :)

Maureen Shandobil just sold a house for us. She has been in the real estate field in Alameda for…read moredecades and knew exactly how to price the house to get us the best price. She recommended that we do some cosmetic fixes to the garden, paint the interior, carpet the floors, and "stage" the home with nice rental furniture and wall coverings to get us the best price possible. She arranged all of this for us and it seemed to be worth the money. In two weeks with two weekend open houses, we got multiple offers - with most of them above listing price! With multiple offers, we were able to make sure that we picked a buyer that could buy the house with little of no hassles. Escrow closed just a few weeks later and the notary sent by the title company got the necessary signatures and that was it. Super easy sale process and quick too!
