We had an amazing experience working with Johanna, and already recommended her and Wil to friends and family members (some of which also already bought homes with their team's help!). As a first time home-buyer in this crazy market, you can imagine all the questions and concerns I had. Johanna answered them all kindly, timely, and professionally. She was patient in showing us different types of properties (single family, townhome, condo... old vs. new construction). Johanna took time to understand what we were looking for and offered advice on what would really make us happy. She took us to see properties that weren't listed yet, and I always felt like I was in good hands, getting honest, solid advice. She pointed out details that buyers might miss, was upfront about what offers should look like, and never made us feel pressured or rushed while looking at properties or weighing our options. If you're looking to purchase a home in the Dublin / San Ramon / Pleasanton area, I highly recommend Johanna and Wil. Aside from being extremely knowledgable realtors, they are kind and thoughtful people and a business I'm happy to show my support for. When we're eventually ready to sell this home and purchase one in the future, I will definitely be reaching out to WP Reality to help us do so.

We started from not knowing about the neighborhood, not knowing what's good and bad in a home. But Johanna & Will educated us during the tours, the highlights and lowlights of each neighborhood and home - which overtime made us more knowledgeable in making the right choices. When you make such a huge investment, it is important to know what you are getting into. Our needs got refined over time and we found a home that suited our needs. But as Will says, we don't find the home; the home finds us :) They have a generous rebate program! On top of that, they were very supportive through out the process, did great negotiations, helped make some tough calls and more importantly responsive to all texts and calls. Their service after offer-acceptance got even better with great use of technology for status updates and conferencing to make sure all parties were on the same page, available to answer questions and provided access to the home. Overall a professional service with a friendly feel, highly recommended!

Writing a review for Mona Koussa!? Where shall I start...!?…read moreEverything about Mona and her team is A+++! She knows the East Bay real estate market inside out. She is so knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, customer minded, always on top, thorough, ultra professional, persistent, determined, etc. As a client, it put us always at ease and knowing we had our best advocate out there for us. Our search was a difficult one because we knew exactly what we wanted, but there were very few potential homes to match that. Mona persevered like we could never have expected any realtor to do. We visited 150 properties before finally landing our dream home. 150 properties, over 9+ months of searching. And under the difficult Covid-19 search conditions. But Mona never wavered, and kept intent on us finding the right home for us. She truly had our needs and hopes at the core of her work, not trying to close the sale as soon as possible for her. Some times, we would even want to make an offer because we were so drained out with all this chaotic searching, but she would question whether that was really the home we wanted and recommended that we kept on searching. Again, she was so right and caring about our long term satisfaction with our new home.. When we finally found the perfect home, Mona showed off all her chops as a masterful buyers' agent. We found ourselves into what could have become an ugly bidding war, but she was able to reason the sellers' agent into accepting our first and final counter without further overbidding escalation, by pleading the human side of the deal and not just the dollars and cents up and up. Thank you so much, Mona! We are happy as clams in this amazing new and permanent home for the rest of our lives! Before I finish this review, I also want to say that once the sale was closed, Mona has still be checking in with us on many occasions to see if there was anything more we might want any help with. That is what I call FULL customer service, beyond the call of duty. This is planned to be our last home forever, but if we had to sell it at some point, or wanted to buy another home in the East Bay, no doubt we'd be calling on Mona and team again. And so should you! You will for sure never regret doing so, we think. Good luck!

When the right home came up, she moved quickly and strategically to help us write a strong offer and we closed under list price.

We can't say enough wonderful things about Gina Piper and the entire Elation Real Estate team. The…read moresale of our home at 6745 Alisal Street in Pleasanton was far from typical. With a full one-acre lot, septic system, and well, features that are quite unique for Pleasanton, we knew it would take a special approach and the right expertise to find the right buyer. Gina and Shawn worked tirelessly for months, navigating every challenge with professionalism, persistence, and optimism.

Sue had made sure we were in constant communication with her, Valerie and Kathy.  The scheduling of everything that needed to get done in the house was mind blowing how on top of it all this team was!!! Everything got done within a FAST hectic craycray week, all their helpers/workers were fast, very polite, very professional, and conscientious. We opted for no open house, for personal reasons, and Sue gave us her FULL support and even explained the entire marketing strategy with a can do attitude avoiding Open House/s  - Very detailed, very thorough, there was no downside to all their advertising, it gets the job done and Sue and her team know how to do it!!!!   Personally, I would choose The Flashbergers time and time again for this area, you wont regret it!  We will vouch for this team any day!

From the moment we met her she exuded an air of knowledge and confidence - it was clear she was the right person for the job. On our second meeting she provided us with a folder showing details of our property, along with local comps. She made recommendations about what improvements should be made before putting the house on the market, which we followed to the "T". Our house was staged with some of our furnishings, and some accent pieces supplied by Shelley. She organized a broker's tour on a Friday, then two consecutive open houses on Saturday and Sunday. By the end of the 1st open house we had received 6 offers over asking, so no need for the second open house! We were in shock! Shelley did an AMAZING job. She made it look so easy, but we know she put in a ton of work to make this happen. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Shelley Stone for your residential real estate needs. https://www.zillow.com/profile/Shelley%20Stone4 https://www.realtor.com/realestateagents/56ccf9dd7e54f7010023cd83
