We met Sydney at an Open House for another property. At the time, we felt like the realtor that we had originally contacted was doing very little to help us find our home--we were on an automatic listserv e-mail with properties being thrown our way. We were on the lookout for someone who would be as invested as we were in finding a home for us. The housing market was absolutely crazy when we were looking and we found that most properties were going significantly over asking. Sydney was not daunted, although we were. She listened to our wants and needs and was enthusiastic for us when we were feeling down. We worked with Sydney to make offers on homes, and she was professional enough to bring in supportive colleagues to help determine what would be fair and competitive offers in this very strange market. Sydney was very responsive whenever we had questions and very proactive. She is a busy woman with a busy life, but she never made us feel like we were "taking her time." In the end, we offered on three homes, finally landing in a home in Willow Glen in a lovely neighborhood. We are very grateful for the work that Sydney did. If you are looking for your home, call her!! read more

Sydney is one of the very best realtors I've ever encountered - and I've encountered a lot of them! She is very smart and friendly, but also competitive and extremely professional. Twice, there were problems with our home sale where she took initiative to fix them before we knew about them, which meant less stress for us! If you've ever sold/bought a house, you know that less stress is always better! Hands down the best in the area!! read more

Amazing realtor. Manages the project down to the tiniest of details. Is very thorough with timelines and lining everything up in exactly the right order. Knows the market and has delivered for us in a big way -- twice! read more

Sydney has been my real estate agent since 2010. Over the past seven years I've done three transactions with her. I have to say I've been extremely please with her service. She has been a patient, a trusted advisor, and friend throughout these years. She gives candid feedback and sound advice advice on the most important purchase of your life. Beyond this she is a wonderful human being and actually cares about you-The client - and not just her commission. She also stands behind her customers. I had a transaction that went sideways shall we say. She had her office, attorneys, and staff right behind her supporting me while we brought the transaction back in the right direction. Without her support I don't know what I would've done. Sometimes people wonder about the large commissions agents get in the bay area. I don't worry about this with her-she earns every penny. read more

I would like to advise any seller or buyer that SYDNEY ERENO is by far the BEST real estate agent I have ever dealt with in my 50 years... We sold our house in Willow Glen and was stressful free, the quality of service was beyond anyone I had dealt with and she was there at all times to answer any questions or matters that we encountered. She handled everything with the utmost professional and personable relationship that was much appreciated read more

My husband and I recently used Sydney to both sell our home in the Rose Garden and help us purchase a new home in Willow Glen. Not only did she have our house sold in a week after only 1 open house she managed to use her business connections to grab up a pocket listing for us and help us purchase a house off market in an extremely competitive market without any bidding wars. She was always available for us when we needed her for questions and never made us feel like we were being pressured- she made it clear to us that she understands the experience of buying a house is an emotional one and huge decision and that we were free to work at our own pace and to not feel pressured at all. She is kind and caring and it shows in her relationships will all of the wonderful people we've worked with throughout this normally stressful experience. If you're looking to sell or ready to buy- call Sydney! read more

Sydney Ereno just sold our home in Willow Glen,,, I have never dealt with a more professional, efficient, and calming agent in my 50 years of life. Sydney was there at all times to answer any questions we had and helped ease the sale of our home She was friendly, professional, and personable agent and was able to complete all requirements and inspections before we listed our home. I would highly recommend this woman as one of the best in the area and would confidently offer her services to anyone that may be selling or buying a home. read more

Best possible experience! My home sold in 7 days, receiving 10 offers that were all above the asking price. Sydney worked tirelessly to realize this successful outcome. I interviewed eight agents and brokers from five firms before selecting Sydney to sell my home. She is remarkable! We first met at my neighbor's open house one year before I was ready to sell mine. From that meeting, I could see that she would be a fantastic representative for my home. Even so, I chose to thoroughly research my options. That experience made me even more certain that Sydney's approach, philosophy, knowledge and personality are exceptional. Sydney was able to help advise me in ways to improve my house for optimal appeal. Her list of contacts and resources were incredible. Every professional that I worked with through Sydney's referral was not only impeccable, but budget-conscious. We developed an aggressive schedule to make the home sparkle in like-new condition. I was so pleased by the results! You could not ask for a better agent. Sydney is the whole package: conscientious, thorough, approachable, attentive, savvy, creative, hard-working and brilliant. I am so glad I was able to work with her to sell my home. I recommend her very highly! read more

Sydney is great! She's an unassuming barracuda who helped us sell our townhouse for top dollar, devising a strategy to sell high and get us in to a great Cambrian house without overpaying during a seller's market. While I was stressing out, Syd was calm as a cucumber. She was great to work with and if we ever buy or sell again, we'll be giving her a call! read more

We hired Sydney to both sell our house and buy a new one. She is an incredible agent, very professional and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress free. From staging the house to doing small repairs to make sure the house looks great - she took care of it all. We were very happy with the final offer that we received. She is a great communicator and we felt very confident we are taken care of. When we bought our new house, also for a great price, she found all of the subcontractors to get our remodeling done under a very tight deadline. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend her to everyone who is looking to buy or sell. You won't be disappointed! read more

We worked with Sydney on the recent sale of our prior home and the purchase of our new home. From step one, Sydney had our backs and proved to be an incredibly sharp, talented and caring partner. Her knowledge of local markets is second to none and she approaches every single step in the process with your family's best interest at heart. In short, she's the kind of agent you want in your corner. We can't offer a strong enough endorsement of Sydney and couldn't be happier with her efforts, both large and small, to help our family. When the day comes to sell our home down the line, she will be the first and only call we make. read more

I can't say enough what a blessing it was to work with Sydney. I'm so incredibly thankful she came into our life when she did. Our circumstance was a bit of an odd one. (We had to switch agents in the middle of transaction) Long story short, Sydney, without a shadow of a doubt, had our best interest at heart and not only saved our transaction but stopped us from having made multiple potentially costly mistakes even if it meant losing her commission. She is so ethical! She saved us thousands and thousands of dollars on purchase price, gave us impeccable advice, fought for us, stayed in contact at every step, was always available and was honest at every turn of (property specific) strange events throughout. She's a genuine good person and thoughtful too. She even brought our daughter a present at keys day along with a super thoughtful housewarming gift for us. We also appreciate that she keeps in front of us even after the close of escrow through regular newsletters, updates, emails and valuable reading material. (Last agent fell off the face of the earth after close) so Sydney, we cant ever properly thank you, but THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! read more

Sydney is such a professional and always goes above and beyond for her clients. We are constantly updated with her in depth knowledge of the Willow Glen marketplace. Our team is impressed daily by her ability to get the maximum sales price possible in all markets. We would highly recommend her in providing smooth successful sales. read more

Sydney was recommended by neighbors who had met her at an open house located directly behind our mother's home. Mother had recently passed away and my sister and I wanted to sell her house that was located in Willow Glen. Both being from out of town with busy lives my sister and I needed a Realtor willing to handle all facets of the transaction. After interviewing Sydney and three other Realtors we were convinced that the neighbors were right and Sydney was the one for the job. Throughout the process we were impressed with Sydney's energetic style, ethical standards, and knowledge of the current market conditions. She is well established in the community and has an extensive selection of business contacts that contributed resources to the process. We appreciated that she was always readily available to answer phone calls and kept us abreast of new developments. She anticipated potential problems and took the necessary steps to ensure a positive outcome. We could not have been more pleased with the final sales price and terms that she negotiated. As a Realtor, Sydney will not disappoint. read more

This review is long overdue. Sydney helped my husband and me purchase a new home a few months ago, and while the house hunting process can be quite stressful, Sydney put us at ease with her professionalism and knowledge of the housing market. She was receptive to our needs and she gave us great advice and insight about various neighborhoods we were considering. Whenever we identified homes we were interested in, Sydney previewed them immediately to ensure that we would not waste our time going out to view houses that did not meet our requirements or expectations. She is quick when responding to emails, texts, or phone calls, and her open communication and ability to work efficiently are qualities we greatly valued and appreciated. Most importantly, Sydney made what can be a stressful process one that was enjoyable, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not recommend her enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Sydney was first introduced me as someone who "takes customer service to a whole new level" and I can personally attest to this. Sydney worked with us on 2 simultaneous transactions, both of which went off without a hitch. She is a master strategist, a stickler for details and acted as an advocate for us. She has a high degree of integrity and her communication and availability is absolutely unparalleled. She is conscientious and competitive, and we felt very secure in having her as our agent. There were zero errors. Over the past 6 months, we watched as Sydney successfully sold three Willow Glen Properties in less than one week. She is an up-and coming expert in the Willow Glen neighborhood and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of a listing agent, as well as to potential buyers since she is aware of pocket listings and inventory that may not be available to the general public. Sydney also helped us with excellent referrals (staging companies, locksmiths, painters, etc.) and made our move seamless so that we could focus on more important matters. Thank you Sydney, we will gladly refer you not just to our friends, but to our clients who may be dividing property and selling residential properties in Santa Clara. read more

My wife and I cannot recommend enough Sydney Ereno for any your realty needs in Willow Glen, San Jose and the Bay Area. Sydney is responsive, dedicated, attentive, respectful, personal, insightful, resourceful, professional and caring. A pragmatic and knowledgeable cheerleader, and she always has your interests as her only goal. She's sold four homes in/around our "Camino" Willow Glen block (which is why we used her - word of mouth by trusted friends) in record time! We owe our happiness (and a great price!) to Sydney. We'd love to be a reference. Thank you! Jim and Michelle read more

Sydney did an absolutely amazing job selling our house and buying a new one. We have two kids and we both work so buying a house is not an easy task. Sydney made this process a lot easier than we anticipated. She was there handling both transactions at the same time. Selling the house, scheduling inspections, getting contractors in to fix items, staging the house. The list really goes on and on of all the things she was handling. I would call it super white glove service. She basically worked around the clock to make sure both transactions closed on time. Every day we would have a update from Sydney with clear indication of where each house is in the process and what the next steps are. Best part of the deal is that she was able to sell our house for more than we anticipated and help us buy the new home below sellers asking price. Just A+++ read more

Moving is hard! Moving to one of the most competitive real estate markets (San Jose) is even harder. Thankfully, we had Sydney Ereno to help us navigate the very fast moving market. We had a very short time frame and we lived out of state, so we were dealing with Sydney over the phone a lot. She was always available and very responsive if we couldn't get in touch right away. When we flew to San Jose for our first house hunting trip and met her in person, we knew it was going to be a good partnership. She is so calm and collected and works very hard to educate you and set expectations. She has in-depth knowledge on all the neighborhoods in San Jose (Blossom Valley, Willow Glen, etc) and was able to steer us in the right direction for the house we wanted. The really surprising part for us was how engaged she was, not just throughout the process, but afterwards as well. When we needed recommendations on contractors, gardeners, or even a place to eat, she was our best resource. We are still in touch with her three months later! We definitely give Sydney top marks without reservation. read more

Sydney is fantastic! We couldn't be happier with the job she did getting us into our new home and selling our old home. She exceeded all our expectations. We were buying contingent on the sale of our townhome, which was not yet ready for sale when we made our offer on the new house. Sydney convinced us that she could get the sale done in time--and she did. She had our townhome on the market in two weeks; got us multiple offers after 1 open house; and got us the highest price ever in the complex. It was a stressful few weeks, but Sydney did everything she could to ease our stress--from finding us packers and painters to dealing with lendors to keeping us calm with her confidence and know-how. She made a schedule; made sure we met all our benchmarks; and kept on top of every detail. Even after both sales went through, she continued to help with everything from tracking down lost mail to arranging repairs on our new house. Without hesitation, we would recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling the Bay Area. She is THE realtor to go to. read more
