We spent 5 months looking at homes, and she was always available, even at the last minute and on weekends, to show us properties. She is incredibly quick to answer e-mails, text messages, and phone calls which is an essential quality in this market. She was a great source of info and advice whenever we had questions. What we most appreciated about Elissa is that she did not put any pressure on us to make offers, and in fact, cautioned us against making an unwise offer as we began to get caught up in the mania of the market. Her primary goal is to see her clients purchase a home that is the right home for them at the right price. When we had an offer accepted, she was with us every step of the way through the stressful escrow experience. Her calming presence and ability to help navigate us through the process and answer every question we had was much appreciated! I highly recommend Elissa as a realtor.

If you're considering purchasing a home, I'd definitely recommend working with Rene and Dora…read more One of the parameters around the house we really wanted was that we had to close within 21-days. Knowing that there are so many external factors when getting loans approved and all signatures needed, I was a little skeptical, but our agent assured us that these two were some of the best and they could get it done. Our first house was supposed to take 30-days and ended up taking 45, so you could understand my concern. She couldn't have been more right as this transaction was pretty flawless. From the first time we met with Rene, my mind was at ease. He's super thorough and will take the time to walk you through every scenario that best fits your needs. He stayed in constant contact with us either by text, phone or e-mail and made sure that we were constantly updated on where we were in the process. His right-hand-woman was equally amazing. Dora was quick to send us docs and to follow up to ensure that we received everything we needed to keep the flow moving smoothly. She was readily available to answer any questions or provide further explanation when we needed it. One of the things I really disliked about the purchase of our first home through BofA was that they were really impersonal when it came to signing docs. Rene and Dora made us (I say that because we were just ready to sign) go through each sheet so they could explain everything making sure we fully understood what each signature meant. We left not only feeling confident about our purchase, but we felt like we got a good little education along the way. I would highly recommend these two. Whether you have a pre-approval letter already, or looking to start the process, I'd definitely let them run some numbers and see what magic they may be able to make. They'll give you an accurate picture of what to expect and for us, it was pretty damn close at the outcome. No surprises and they were always looking for ways for us to save during the process. There is definitely no pressure and they definitely took our best interest into consideration! Thanks for all of your help!

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were quite wary of the home buying process.  Hosai was…read moreamazing and made the entire process smooth and easy!    Our interactions with Hosai were all fantastic!  Before our first meeting with her, she gave us a "Buyer's Questionnaire" and encouraged us to get pre-approved for a loan and to discuss any financing questions with our mortgage broker.  This was a brilliant move because it allowed us to learn about the home-buying process in an efficient way and allowed us to have a realistic expectation of what properties we could afford before we officially even started our search for a home.  Next, we met Hosai in person.  She was kind enough to meet us on a weekend (to accommodate our schedules).  At the first meeting, she reviewed our expectations and our reasons for wanting a home to make sure that she could appropriately focus her efforts.  Throughout the home buying process, Hosai would consistently check in with us via e-mail and phone calls and text messages to make sure the process was going well and that we were happy with how things were going.  Throughout the process, she kept us up to date every step of the way.  Including: when we were first considering writing an offer, when we actually wrote an offer, when our offer was accepted, during escrow, and when we closed.  She even sent us moving tips and contacts for contractor work after we closed! Hosai was so warm and thoughtful that it's obvious after working with her why we wouldn't think of working with anyone else when it eventually comes time to sell our home. Since we were buyers, we spent a lot time working with Hosai.  She never made it seem like we were rushed or that we were ever forced into making a decision.  Hosai is a wonderful person.  She has an impeccable sense of the real estate market -- there were a few houses that we were interested in but weren't sure the listed price reflected the true value of the place.  In every case, Hosai told us what she thought the place was should go for and in every case, she was within only a few thousand dollars of the actual selling price!   Hosai is also incredibly good about maintaining good relationships with other real estate agents.  This allowed her to discuss details with the selling agent and gain as much information about a property as possible.  Finally, Hosai advised us while we were writing our offer; she helped to select our offer price and suggested changes to our conditions that allowed us to get the first property we made an offer on!  She made sure that we did not remove contingencies until she was certain the property was suitable for our situation. Hosai Nasir has definitely helped look out for our best interests.

When I began our journey to homeownership, I had spent the last year living with friends and family…read moreas I prepared to get a place of my own. I didn't know the first thing about buying home and weren't even sure if it was something I was ready for. When looking for a real estate agent, I went with a referral from a close friend whose word I trusted - and I could not be happier I did! From the very beginning, Hosai was proactive: setting up a consultation both with a loan officer and herself and establishing clear expectations on what would follow if I was to move forward. She was appreciative of my concerns and strove to hear my own expectations, as I had a very tight deadline and a limited budget. As my realtor, Hosai kept those expectations at the forefront of every step in the process. She made sure to book consistent showings (capitalizing on our limited time) and never showed me anything outside of my budget (ensuring we didn't overspend). She fought for me as though we were family the entire time. Throughout the closing process, Hosai was always on the lookout for potential issues and aggressively defended me from anything that could potentially keep me from my dream of owning my own home. Whether there were delays from the seller or concerns about the property, Hosai was upfront and clear on what needed to happen next to keep the ball rolling. Throughout everything, Hosai maintained incredible communication with me - answering every question and even anticipating ones I would have never thought of as first-timers. Regardless of anything, Hosai made me feel like I was priority #1 and made sure I was taken care of. With her years of experience, her vast knowledge, and her invaluable connections, and her personal dedication, Hosai made me feel like experts by the end of everything and ensured my dreams of being homeowner came true.

I highly recommend Traci Joseph to anyone who is considering selling or buying a home. Traci was my…read morerealtor in several transactions. She was extremely professional, patient, and very easy to work with. Buying and selling a home is one of the most stressful experiences and she walked me through each step of the process making me feel extremely comfortable. In the last transaction, she cleaned and staged my home beautifully which was the main reason I received 25 offers! Not only did I receive an above asking price, but I also obtained a two-month free lease back. I was able to close on my home quickly with much more than I even asked for. She was present every step of the way including the home inspections and the open house. After I sold my house Traci worked hard to find me a new home. Since there were very few homes on the market, she took the time to call current residents to see if they were willing to sell. Once we found my dream home, she did whatever she could to make it mine including calling the homeowners after they decided to take it off the market and negotiate with them directly. My "forever" home is now a reality only because of Traci's diligence. I highly recommend Traci Joseph for all your real estate needs.

Traci makes what is such an incredibly stressful process so much easier. We referred her to my sister who she also helped sell her home. Traci will remain our go to real estate agent due to her incredible skills, kindness and joy to work with. We absolutely love her!!!

She gave us help in preparing our home for sale, such as room staging and cleaning out unnecessary items. The marketing of our home with really great photography to present it in the best light on various online sources was very professional. She was able to explain all the paperwork with us and patient when we didn't understand or needed further explanation. She checked in on us frequently and was available for questions at any time, and answered us quickly. She pretty much held our hands throughout the entire process. I also want to express our gratitude to her team, and especially her husband, Richard. Everyone did everything possible to make this a smooth and painless experience. Selling a place that has been our first home together for many years was very hard, but Jana and her team understood that and helped us to get through it. We are grateful for all she and her team did for us. We made a great relationship with them and will use them in the future.

I feel compelled to write this review due to our experience when purchasing a house with Raul…read moreVasquez as our realtor and Henry Vasquez as our mortgage broker. We purchased a short sell home in October 2013 for $405,000 (which appraised at $425,000). We thought we were making a great investment....that was not the case. In February of 2015 we discovered that our home would sell for $50,000 less than that appraisal. We feel the appraisal amount is based on irregularities, to say the least. Of the (5) comps used for our appraisal 3 were outside our tract (a reputable local realtor looked back and found there were 15 pertinent comps within our tract at the time) 1 was an active listing that did not sell and 1 was a larger house with 2 additional bedrooms Granted the realtor/mortgage broker did not complete the appraisal but we feel that they should have been asking more questions pertaining to the value of the appraisal and how the report was prepared, or making us aware that we were paying over market value for our neighborhood at that time. There were an abundance of verifiable comps that were within 1 mile of our house that could have/should have been used and our home might have sold at a fair and equitable price. As our realtor, Raul even allowed the previous owners to charge us $1,000 for a BUILT IN barbeque that wasn't listed under the exclusions. That didn't feel like someone who was working for us, or looking out for our best interest. We do not feel that our realtor or mortgage broker were working in our best interest and I do not feel they did due diligence in regard to this real estate transaction. Bonnie H
