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.

Dale is a Bay Area native with a deep understanding of the local market, and it shows in the way he approaches real estate. What stood out most to me was how attentive, honest, and caring he is. He really takes the time to listen, explain options clearly, and provide thoughtful advice. 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. If you're selling a home, I would absolutely recommend Dale, he's the kind of agent who will work tirelessly to get you the best result. And if you're buying, I'd honestly hope he's the listing agent, because you'll know you're getting straightforward communication and professionalism. Dale is the kind of realtor you can trust, and in this market, that's priceless.

Zaid and Shilpa from Real Estate 38 have helped us buy two homes over the course of three years,…read moreand we've had a fantastic experience both times. 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.

His partner undertook the full remodel and with Zaid's guidance hit both the timeline and the budget perfectly - enabling us to hit the right market window and sell the home for more than we were expecting. We never even met in person - Zaid and his team kept us in the loop on the entire project and executed flawlessly. If you are looking for a partner to get the most out of your home value - I can't recommend Zaid more.

Nicki turned out to be super lucky for us as we ended up purchasing the first house we bid. She was super patient, never pressured us in anyway and gave her honest feedback. Her timely advice to us about purchase vs sale and timing worked in our favor. She is always there to answer questions any time of day. Nicki is an excellent resource on san jose neighborhoods and she knows a lot about specific sub areas and their characteristics. She would even knock doors and talk to neighbors to get a sense of the community around. With Nicki, you will honestly feel she is giving you her 100%.

She is as invested as you are in finding the right home for you - in fact, they are the ones that recommended the neighborhood in which I ended up purchasing a home...and that neighborhood wasn't even on my radar! It couldn't be more perfect. They know the market, trends, neighborhoods, what to look for, what red flags to watch out for - and they have a host of connections to help you get set up in your new home post-close. Cristina expertly navigated the offer on the home I really wanted (and it was a nail biter!) - and we landed it in this crazy competitive market! Cristina and Julie guided me through a lightning fast closing (my loan officer said it was the fastest close he's ever done) and even stayed in touch post-close to ensure I was getting settled. Really cannot recommend highly enough - personalized, thoughtful, and knowledgable.

My husband and I used Arlene as our agent when purchasing our first home earlier this year and have…read morefound that it's hard to describe just how wonderful she is. Close friends of ours used her to buy their home and they loved working with her so much we knew we had to go with Arlene when it was time for us to buy. As first time home buyers, navigating the process seemed intimidating but Arlene made it as simple as possible. She knows the area extremely well and quickly picked up on the details and small things that we were looking for in a home that can sometimes be hard to describe. She made sure to familiarize us to all of the paperwork and forms that go into the house buying process well before we were putting an offer in so we would be prepared to move quickly in a competitive market. Not only did Arlene help us navigate an extremely stressful market with ease but she went above and beyond in her customer service. We truly felt like she put our needs and desires first and was not looking to get us to buy the first house that we saw just so she could make her commission. Although we have no plans of leaving the Bay or selling our home I seriously hope I get to work with Arlene again because she is the complete package and everything you could ask for in an agent.

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!

In our forever home, thanks to Sara!…read more Sara helped us look at homes every weekend for several weeks until finding the perfect place. What made us more appreciative was that our search area was about an hour away from her home base. Her experience helped us filter out homes that looked good in the pictures, narrow down what we really were looking for in a home, and ultimately helped us field an offer that was accepted. She also helped us sell our home that sold over asking price and within three days of listing it on the market. She even got a backup offer, also over asking price. She arranged vendors to clean up and stage the house, and got us a very experienced and responsive escrow officer to close the deal. I highly recommend Sara.

I lucked out in randomly choosing Sara Greenwood as my buyers' agent. (Technically, it was a random…read moreRedfin algorithm that connected us.) She is amazing and has immense knowledge and skills.  Her advice and support throughout the entire process was invaluable. We had a complex cross-country move and we were looking for a house from out-of-state--which is difficult in normal times but was especially difficult with the pandemic. Sara was our amazing realtor who is familiar with the Bay Area. We were unfamiliar with the local market which is really different from other places. She guided us on the competitive Bay Area market, timing, environment, and resale valuation. Her comparables were right on point. Her estimates saved us from putting in unnecessary time and energy into placing offers or looking further into homes that were going to go out of our affordability range. Due to our particulars and the distance, we started working with her over a year prior to our planned move. During that time, we looked at properties from undeveloped land to condos and single-family homes. She knew the details and ins-and-outs of every single type. She looked out for us. She understood the market and could help us predict if we were putting in a competitive offer or not. She has the patience of a saint. She showed us over 50 homes. I've told my friends already about how amazing she is and how she saved us from worrisome choices! There was an amazing house that we loved and which she had drawn up the offer for us on. We were just waiting for some final disclosures in the last hour to come in before submitting the offer. When those documents came in, Sara analyzed it and brought up her concerns about the health of the homeowners' association and other things. Thus, we decided to pass on that home as we were not ready to own a house that would be a headache and problematic. Sara is AMAZING, WONDERFUL, an EXPERT at real estate, and PROFESSIONAL! We trusted her keen eye to see things that we did not notice or know to notice. Sara's wisdom enabled us to make informed decisions. Even when we ended up buying a new-build where the construction firm excluded her, Sara continued to provide us invaluable advice, guidance, and reassurance. We will definitely be asking her to be our real estate agent in the future when we sell our new house and when we buy our next house. She is trustworthy and reliable. She'll set you down the right path.
