She helped coordinate inspection-related repairs and managed all of the contractors, which was a huge relief since we work far from home. Once we moved out, Cristina jumped into action handling final fixes, cleaning, staging, and photos. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, and our house was listed within about a week. She helped coordinate multiple private showings and open houses, and we ended up with multiple offers, ultimately accepting one over asking. Cristina was professional, responsive, and kept us informed every step of the way. She made a potentially stressful process feel easy, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Dale and Helen are truly in a league of their own. They are two of the hardest-working individuals…read morewe've ever worked with, and they pulled off a sale that most thought couldn't happen. They hosted open houses every week while the property was on the market, carried and staged furniture themselves, and always stayed in constant communication with us. When repairs came up during the listing, Dale and Helen took care of them right away. Their dedication and hands-on approach were absolutely key to making this sale happen -- especially during one of the toughest times to sell as a homeowner. These two are pure magic. If you need your property sold quickly, efficiently, and for top dollar, we 100% recommend them. My wife and I have bought and sold several properties, and without a doubt, Dale and Helen stand out by leaps and bounds above the rest.

There's no fluff or salesy pressure. just straight, genuine guidance from someone who clearly knows his stuff and truly wants the best outcome for his clients.

After my parents passed, I had to sell the home I grew up in in San Jose, CA. I interviewed several realtors but never felt the connection I was looking for. Then I found a flyer, did some research, and called Andy and Ben. From our first meeting I knew they were the right choice -- genuine, trustworthy, and compassionate. They didn't just list the house -- they managed the entire process from start to finish. They coordinated: Cleanup and preparation Repairs and construction work Landscaping and restoration of my mom's garden Contractors and scheduling A detailed timeline with constant updates They provided a clear plan showing exactly what would be done and when, and they stuck to it. There were no surprises and they kept me informed every step of the way. Even more impressive, there were no upfront costs -- everything was handled through escrow at closing, which removed a huge amount of stress during a difficult time. Because of their networking and local knowledge of the area, they found a direct buyer before the home even hit the market, and it sold at top dollar! Andy and Ben truly went above and beyond. They treated my parents' home with care and respect, even planting beautiful new flowers in my mother's garden. I'm incredibly grateful for how smoothly they handled such an emotional process. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants professionals that genuinely care and take full responsibility for the job. -- Joe R.

Thuy did it again! She was able to sell my home quickly in this uncertain market. She was…read morereassuring and communicative throughout the whole process. As a seller this time around, I had to lower my expectations since the market is not as "hot" as it was a few years ago. This was fine with me since I just wanted my home sold ASAP since we already purchased another home and didn't want to hold onto two homes. Thuy's ability to quickly close deals and negotiation skills make her a great choice for any real estate needs. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone that is willing to go above and beyond. Reach out to Thuy if you're looking to buy or sell in the nearby future!

Zaid is warm, friendly, and knows the market extremely well. We initially spoke with him before signing on with Real Estate 38, and as first-time home buyers, he really helped put our minds at ease and gave us the confidence we needed to navigate what was, at the time, the most expensive purchase of our lives. Shilpa, who we worked with more closely throughout both home purchases, is knowledgeable, responsive, and always looking out for her clients' best interests. At the same time, she's realistic and honest about the situation. She follows through on her commitments, stays on top of every detail, and is always on time and prepared. We trusted her completely throughout both transactions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

My wife and I are first time home buyers and Manu was our realtor…read more We got our dream house with her but I'm going to try and be objective in this review. Manu has been in the business for a long time now. The connections she has came in clutch multiple times. We got a phenomenal interest rate through her contact, got really helpful escrow people, and had multiple instances of going to open houses and name-dropping her as our agent. People in the business recognize her. You have to understand what you get with Manu though. She played every single move the safest way it could be played. We didn't put multiple offers - only one house at a time. We had contingencies to protect our bids from bad evaluations. Even celebrating the closing was only Manu-approved after the loan was approved and the docs were signed. All of which I appreciate because I'm fairly risk averse. Manu's team is a powerhouse. She made every deadline with room to spare. She was also really good at dealing with my bad mood and stress (real estate is brutal). Although towards the end I think she was a little grateful to be done with us lol. Her MO is also to give you a customized portal in MLS for houses but full honesty, my wife and her house hunting doom scrolling probably found more houses. The house we ended up buying too didn't make it through the filters. She also only comes to open houses after you like them. So she's not going to spoon feed you everything but she makes those expectations pretty clear straight away. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that her advice was a big part of why we stepped up from looking at smaller townhouses to a single family home. No regrets there. Now one month into living at the new house, we did learn some things the hard way like home warranties are fairly useless, Yelp and Home Depot are your best friends, and if you call someone for a free inspection, they're honor bound to find something stupid for you to have to fix. So yeah again, you're not going to be spoonfed everything. So why 5 stars? I did get my dream house. And this whole experience was possibly the most stressful thing I've ever done in my life. Through it, Manu and her team were a good group of people to have in my corner.
