I had an excellent experience working with Laura Bonafede to purchase my first home earlier this year. As a first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions, and Laura was consistently patient, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain each step, provided thoughtful guidance, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. I always felt supported and well-informed, especially during key decision points. I'm so grateful for her expertise and would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first-time buyers. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura. After struggling to find a home for over a year, a good friend finally recommended her to us, and from our very first call, we knew we wanted to work with her. Laura took the time to truly get to know us, understand what we were looking for, and guide us through every step of the process. She thoroughly reviewed documents with us upfront and explained what it would be like to work together, which felt incredibly proactive and thoughtful. From the beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared about helping us make the right decision. The second home we toured with Laura in Campbell ended up being the one. From there, she didn't just help us put together a strong offer, she made sure we won it. Laura is exceptionally talented, knowledgeable, savvy, and deeply experienced in this area. After previously working with another agent who just wasn't the right fit, that level of expertise and confidence really made the difference! We found our dream home because of Laura, and I truly can't thank her enough for helping us make that dream a reality. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Laura represent us selling our beloved family home. From day one, we knew Laura was the one. She has a wonderful outgoing personality and is incredibly detail oriented. She had the right team to make our house show beautifully. We ended up with multiple, very strong offers. Once in contract, Laura made sure to communicate almost daily to keep us on time for inspections, repairs and contingency timelines. We cannot say enough positive things about Laura and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to list or purchase a home. Thank you Laura!!!! read more

As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, but she took the time to explain every step.

Laura Odom is a unique individual who breaks the real estate broker stereotype ! Laura and her team successfully sold my home in a few short weeks and $ 100k+ over the asking price! Laura has a well defined process & open communication that made the whole experience seem effortless. Her professionalism and attention to details made the staging process less intrusive and mitigated the stress. I dealt with the deep emotional struggles one deals with when selling a family home after many years. Laura's empathy & compassion gave me the trust I needed for a partner and success! read more

Within the past couple of years I've had the pleasure of working with Brian and Dina who assisted me in selling my family home and also buying a home.

Highly recommend! read more

The Bonafede Team is 2nd to none! I have had the pleasure of working with this super professional team on many occasions and the experience is awesome! Why? The individuals involved on the team are all top notch, do their job at a super high level and are just flat out wonderful people. Their constant client communication and leadership through each of the steps in the process is one of their many strong points. If you are selling a home or buying a home, I can't recommend Team Bonafede any higher. You will be amazed! read more

Five stars is simply not enough to describe our experience with Laura Odom and the Bonafede Team. They went above and beyond on every aspect of prepping and selling our home. Laura's experience and professionalism has earned her the respect of her colleagues, clients and independent contractors working together to ensure a speedy and efficient sale/purchase of homes. In these times of dwindling customer service, the Bonafede Team steps up to the plate and delivers exceptional service. All questions are answered promptly and in detail, calls and texts are always returned and the level of expertise and teamwork is outstanding.

If you asked me for a recommendation for a realtor.... I would have no hesitation to recommend The Bonafede Team. Laura and Steve were on point with strategies and real-world information. I had no doubt on their knowledge and network working for us. We sold our house in one day and super over asking. Thanks to them it was a smooth process. read more

From the first meeting I connected with Laura. She understood my situation and my goals. She was caring and considerate. She knows the business well and made sure every aspect was explained to me. She checked in with me at every step and always offered her help. Moving is stressful and Laura understands that.I desinitely scored when she was reffered to me by a good friend. I highly recommend her and the Bonafede team read more

This is coming from a lot of experience of getting real estate communications for decades .... Whether you are in the place to buy or sell a home DOES NOT matter. I have gotten such consistently useful, practical, concise and helpful information for living from Dina and the Bonafede group. Really: home/personal organization how tos, key tax laws change summary (better than what my accountant sent out), home improvement tips and more. They are actually quite good even with all the information available now days. Its like a little gentle push/well put reminder to expect and have more for myself. Plus every few months they are hosting or sponsoring some event or party (they go all out) so pretty much a no brainer to join their mailing list. I have NEVER recommended a email/mail list before but they've proven themselves to me for more than a year. read more

Laura was exceptional to work with! We are first-time buyers(during this crazy market and pandemic!) and felt completely well guided throughout the entire process. Laura was understanding and responsive considering our crazy schedules. She always gave us her best advice when we had questions, or were feeling anxious. Laura was calm, patient, and honest with us throughout the process. We feel incredibly lucky and are forever grateful! We definitely recommend Laura and her team! read more

We had a great experience buying our first home with Laura. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions and Laura was able to provide all the information that we needed. Laura was very proactive with the listing agent to make sure our offer got accepted. Laura also helped with the closing process and it went relatively smoothly. We felt lucky and grateful to be able to buy our first home in our dream area, thanks to Laura. Laura even gave us nice surprises when we officially got our keys. We would highly recommend Laura and her team. read more

Laura was across the board excellent in representing us in selling our house. She managed the entire transaction, all details, flawlessly (which is a testament to her considerable experience) and the whole experience was effortless for us. We can not recommend her enough. read more

Dear Laura and Steve, Thank you so much for your help with selling our home. It was truly a great experience working with you and your amazing Bonafede Team. We knew from our first meeting (introduction) that our future was in good hands, and you certainly exceeded all expectations closing escrow at $400,000 above asking price. My wife and I have bought and sold many properties in our 25-years together, selling six homes and buying seven, and have hired the same number of realtors. However, neither of us have ever experienced the knowledge, understanding, patience, determination, commitment, and follow-through that The Bonafede Team provided. As individuals, you each have unique personalities, expertise, insight and drive, but together you have proven to be a powerhouse brother-sister team, which benefitted us as sellers, so for that we will always be grateful. You made the process simple and easy to understand and we could not have done this without you. Sincerely, Tim and Tania Davis read more

This team has been wonderful. I've spent time with most of the team and everyone has been so supportive. Dina especially has been so supportive and worked so hard to sell our home. She took care of more than I could've asked for. I would highly recommend this team and Dina as your realtor. read more

Throughout my adult years, I have had the experience of purchasing four homes. I recently decided to sell my home I purchased 22 years ago with my late husband. When making such a large decision, I wanted to work with someone I could trust and who would be compassionate to my needs. Throughout this process Laura was there every step of the way. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty and hard work ethic was genuine and greatly appreciated. I have always considered Laura a great friend, but now I can say from experience that she is an outstanding realtor that I had the pleasure of doing business with. Thank you! read more

We worked with Laura Odom throughout the process of buying our first home and we could not have done it without her. As first time homebuyers we had a LOT of questions and Laura was incredibly helpful. Laura's commitment to her clients is unparalleled; she guided us through every step of the home buying process, and answered our questions and phone calls at all hours of the day, every day of the week. Our experience was very drawn out due to construction delays related to COVID for nearly a year, and Laura worked with us day in and day out, going to bat for us in conversations with the seller time and again, even negotiating a significant price reduction. We cannot recommend Laura enough and certainly hope to work with her again! read more

I met Dina and Brain of " The Bonefede Team - Compass realtor" in August 2020 to help us to sell our property in San Jose. Our escrow is closing today 9/30/2020 . During my several years of experience with different realtors to sell and purchase different properties , I have never seen such professionalism , dedicated , knowledgeable, accommodating , kind , helpful, and honest couple and team. We live in southern California and they helped us for painting, and some small repairs of our property in San Jose , in a great timeline. Their caring and taking care of our property and great communication of any event is outstanding. We need them to find a property for us in southern California , but it is not practical. Otherwise , we would give them full authority to perform. We highly recommend Dina and Briana to sell or purchase any kind of property for anyone , especially new buyers who can learn from these fellows for life time. Thanks again and again Dina and Brian . Art. 9/29/2020 read more

My family was ready to move to a new home and Steve and his team helped us through the process as smoothly as possible. He understood what we wanted, and most importantly, what we didn't want. Once we found the house, he moved fast negotiating with the seller and got us a great deal. Shortly afterwards, Steve sold an investment property for us and he handled all aspects of the necessary remodeling in order to get us top dollar. His team is honest and responsive and I would not hesitate to use their services again for my family's real estate needs. read more

Another great experience with Laura and her team. She really goes the extra mile in places that other agents do not. She is professional and knows the area well. She explains the process in a way that we understand, makes recommendations, adapts and is flexible with our requests. Laura and her team are innovative and use current technologies at all levels. Can't wait to work with Laura again! read more

The Team really knows how to surround themselves with great people. I have worked with them in several events helping charity and non-profits. They truly care for the community and helping people find the right home. The education I received is helping me get prepared to buy my first home. read more

The Bonafede Team is, in a word, outstanding. They are professional, responsive, and go above and beyond to ensure a good experience for their clients.

I had the good fortune of selecting Compass and specifically Laura Odom as my agent selling my home. She walked me through the process step by step and was thorough and professional. The calm organized way the sale was presented took me by surprise. At one point I became anxious about the sale, but she sensed this, set up a meeting to address my concerns and explained the process. Her friendly demeanor helped me feel comfortable and confident. I feel very good about the sale and the price I received for my home and feel fortunate to have picked the right realtor for the job. read more

John Barney gets kudos as well. I would definitely recommend the Bonafede Team for anyone out there who needs to sell or buy a home. read more

It is rare when you find people in business that do what they say they are going to do. It is even rarer still when you find people that consistently EXCEED your expectations. Stage 1 - Presentation: I met with the Bonafede Team many times and I was blown away by their attention to detail and by how genuine they were. They had their own team of contractors who came over to the house during the presentation so that I could talk to them directly and get estimates on renovations recommended by Bonafede. Stage 2 - Renovation: The final cost of the entire remodel and landscaping was very close to the estimates. Best of all, there were NO surprises! Everything that Brian and Steve told me they would do, they did and they consistently met their deadlines. Stage 3 - The Sale: Dian, Steve and Brian made sure all my questions were answered. Dian is probably the most detail-oriented, hardworking and honest person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She worked long hours making sure everything was done correctly. Best part...we closed much earlier than we thought and above asking price. In the end, we are so very happy we decided to work with the Bonafede Team. They are honest, hardworking, detail-oriented people. Oh, and they are fun too! After knowing them for just 3 months, I am proud to call them my friends and I would not hesitate to work with them again. Sincerely, John Love read more

The Bonafede Team is an excellent group of community leaders who provide such tremendous community support to various local charities. They have been so supportive of our charity, College of Adaptive Arts, which provides an equitable collegiate experience to adults with special needs, golfing in our golf tournament and sending excellent folks our way. They raise so much money, awareness, and community support for multiple organizations supporting autism, and I am so truly grateful to the Bonafede team for their visionary leadership and sincere community caring. read more

I have had the honor of using the Bonafede team more than once over the years, once with Laura and then with Steve. Not only were the transactions handled flawlessly, the communication throughout the process was amazing. I knew everything that was happening at every step of the transactions, but the part I liked the best was that they didn't pull any punches and were honest about all aspects of the sale. You won't find a team more honest about the worth of your property and the market than the Bonafede Team. The patience they showed when looking for my first house made the whole search very comfortable with no pressure to make a rash decision. They not only want their clients happy, they want their clients happy for life. Word of mouth is the best recommendation and most solid way you can build any business and I believe the Bonafede team has built their business this way. Last but not least is the way this team supports their local business and charities. Their support of the Autism tree foundation in the Santa Clara County is literally second to none and their support of local high schools and causes is pretty amazing. I highly recommend the Bonafede team for all your real estate needs! read more

Dina Bonafede was outstanding throughout our entire transaction. She knew exactly what we were looking for in our first family home.

They are a great team! They work really hard and will get anything done that you need.

Laura Bonafede Odom was the best realtor we have used in the past 12 years of buying homes. Not only was she proactive about knowing what we needed before we did.. but she helped us with everything: from moving, to screening homes, to staging, and making sure she had our best interests at heart. Since she has lived in the area for years, she knew the players in the market, and provided excellent insight. She was honest and direct, a combination I respect. I always knew were we stood, and if I needed an issue taken care of... Laura was on it! I recommend her 100X over. You won't regret it. read more

These guys are truly amazing! I started working with them a little over a year ago to sell my condo. They made my first selling experience the best I could ever imagine. Not only every member of the team was extremely helpful and resourceful, they were also very trustworthy and friendly and made working with them a true joy. All I had to do in the whole process of selling my condo was to move out. They took care of advertising, cleaning, doing any necessary renovations and staging the apartment without little to no input from me (I had requested it to be that way because of a very busy schedule!); Jonathan just provided me updates which was great!. As for offers, they reviewed the offers for me, then went over all of it in addition to highlighting the pros and cons of every offer, which was a really nice touch. They completed a process that I thought it might take months in a little over two weeks, with an outcome much better than what I expected. My experience was so seamless and pleasant that now I am back to get help from them to buy a condo this time! So far been working with Jonathan and it has been a blast! read more
