She guided us through every step with patience, honesty, and deep market knowledge. She took the time to go over listings with us to get a better sense of what our tastes were when we weren't even sure what exactly we were looking for. When the right home came up, she moved quickly and strategically to help us write a strong offer and we closed under list price. She was always responsive, truly cared about protecting us, and continued to check in even after closing. She worked closely with our lenders and was instrumental helping to navigate the financing portion and stayed on top of our lender to make sure things were moving along, allowing us to closely quickly. We are so grateful we had Gauri by our side and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

We relocated from Southern California, and my husband's company hooked us up with The Hagley Group…read moreto help us find a new house in the Bay Area. At first we were a little disappointed and felt a little trapped to a specific realtor that we had no hand in picking. However in retrospect, we feel that our realtor, Pamela Ellingsen, was probably the biggest contributing factor to us scoring our condo in what was a ridiculously hot market. She was very responsive as far as availability and in understanding our needs, and aggressive in tracking down potential leads, setting up appointments, and in negotiations. We would definitely recommend her to friends, and would work with her again in the future.

I met Nicole at an open house she hosted last year. At the time, we weren't actively looking to buy…read moresince we still had a year left on our lease, but we wanted to better understand what our family might be looking for in a home. Even though we weren't ready to purchase, Nicole was incredibly kind, generous with her time, and very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions thoughtfully, and I immediately felt comfortable with her so she stayed top of mind. About a 6months later, when we started actively searching for a home, I was introduced to several other agents through lenders. While I considered them, I often felt like just another item on their checklist. Buying a home is a significant financial and emotional commitment, and I wanted to work with someone I felt confident with--someone I could comfortably ask questions and rely on. Around that time, Nicole reached out me again. I asked her a few questions that I hadn't received clear answers to from other agents, and she responded quickly, thoughtfully, and thoroughly. Her responsiveness and clarity made it easy to reach out--whether by text, call, or email--and I always felt comfortable doing so. My husband is on the same page with me about her so we asked her to be our agent. When we decided to move forward with Nicole, she immediately scheduled a call to understand our needs, preferences, and priorities. She curated a thoughtful list of homes for us to tour and took the time to guide us through each step. We truly appreciated the time and care she invested in us. When we found the right home, Nicole provided valuable insights and guidance that helped us make a confident decision. The market was competitive, and we really wanted this house--Nicole worked diligently to position our offer successfully. She even helped us secure a seller credit that we hadn't expected, which was a huge bonus. Throughout the entire process, Nicole was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly reassuring. Every conversation, whether over the phone or in person, left us feeling supported and at ease. The entire process went smoothly, and we ultimately secured our home. Even after closing, Nicole has continued to be responsive, genuine, and helpful whenever we have questions. We feel truly grateful and fortunate to have had Nicole as our agent. She will absolutely be our go-to agent for any future housing needs. If you're not sure where to start in your home-buying journey, I highly recommend reaching out to Nicole, she will be there for you every step of the way.

Cheryl Keden was a breath of fresh air in a crowded, competitive space. My husband and I just…read morebought our first home and were lucky enough to have Cheryl assist us in the process. She is very open and honest about expectations which we appreciated being a young couple with little experience buying a home. She was there for us every step of the way, attended inspections (even when I could not make them), attended signings, helped find the BEST loan officer and answered every insane question I had even when they seemed dumb. Her knowledge of the local market is also a great value, she knows the Bay Area and will run countless comps for you to determine the right value for the offer you are going to submit. She is always available, answers phone calls and emails and if she doesn't, they're returned same day. One thing I really appreciated was that she doesn't try to talk you into doing something you feel uncomfortable with. We knew our limit on price, and even though we thought we might get out bid she let us make the decision on the offer. She didn't try to talk us into increasing our offer outside our comfort zone just to close the deal and move on to the next. We have worked with other realtors and this is not always the case. Cheryl 100% looks out for her client's best interest; she will give you the best advice possible and will never push you to do something out of your comfort zone. She is a hidden gem in a sea of inexperienced and pushy realtors. Do yourself a favor and give her a call, trust me, she will provide you the best possible service and hopefully find your dream home like she did for us!

He listened to our concerns and did what was necessary. The whole process of putting our home on the market to the selling of our home went smoothly and quickly. We were pleased that there was a good amount of foot traffic through our home and that it was sold in a month's time. Raymon handled all the negotiations well. There were no major glitches in the whole process, except for one, and that was the transfer of the escrow money to the right account for us to purchase our new home. But that was probably created by the other company, so Raymon helped us to fix that. Other than that, we were pleased with Raymon's help and would recommend him as the go to real estate agent.

This is a warning for anyone considering renting 1103 D St, Apt C, in Hayward, CA. I can't in good…read moreconscience not share this as this has been the worst living situation that my family and I have experienced. Though the rent/value and proximity to DT Hayward and Bart may be appealing, it is not worth it, especially if you have kids. We lived here from June 2023 to July 2025. Major Issues we experienced: - Bathroom from unit above/Apt A leaked into our apartment **THREE TIMES** (May 2024, August 2024, and June 2025). This last time it leaked into our kids' room. When the contractor came to dry the ceiling and wall, the leak was actually still actively happening. It probably would've happened even more times if the unit above/Apt A hadn't been vacant for sometime between Aug 2024 and June 2025. - Multiple car accidents at the front of the house have damaged the gate multiple times that they decided to no longer repair it. The front gate door no longer closes. - A couch was left in front of the house by a previous tenant and then someone burned it, which burned the tree next to it as well. Thankfully this fire did not reach the house. The person who started this fire then hung out at the front steps of the house and was eventually arrested by the police. - While Apt A was vacant, people squatted/illegally stayed in that unit. They repeatedly came back and even attempted to enter our apartment. They took out the screen to our window and unscrewed the outdoor light bulb so that they wouldn't be noticed. We had to call the police a couple of times. - We installed a ring camera when we moved in. Random people would enter the parking lot all the time. To APMS's credit, they respond fairly promptly and use an online portal, which makes it convenient to pay rent and report maintenance issues. They handled our small issues (no hot water when we moved in and replacing the malfunctioning heater thermostat) well. The downside is the resolutions to address our major issues were always temporary and inadequate. I've ran into the different contractors/plumbers, for instance, who serviced our apt. They shared that there's a plumbing issue (which makes sense with the repeated leaks). These root cause issues aren't addressed. Instead management blames it on a clog. They get contractors to dry the area, patch up the drywall, paint, and just wait until the issue comes up again. When bath or toilet water leaked into our unit, they only offered rent credit/relocation assistance once out of the three times. They didn't even clean our unit each time. We had to do it ourselves. It's unfortunate but there's a lot of lip service but no actual solution or care. When we shared that someone tried to enter our unit, they simply repeated what we did and called the police. They didn't try to install cameras or make any investment in improving the security of the location. After my experience with APMS at this property, I'm certain that they only care about renting this place out and doing the bare minimum. They do not care about their tenants' wellbeing (even if you have kids) or the property itself. I reported this property to the City of Hayward for unsafe housing rental conditions. A city inspector is scheduled to inspect the property. For any potential renters, please beware.

Though I loved the house, my real…read moreestate agent flipped houses and advised me of several issues (most glaring was it advertised it had a gas supply.. which it didn't so it had to be installed. I had a gas line added for a bbq and my dryer and the plumber pointed out the cheap piping used). I basically held the line where my real estate agent said without any direct contact with Bridgette. I met her at the end to pick up a $100 gift certificate from Home Depot and she said we needed to take a pic to capture the end of the deal. It felt like she wanted evidence she gave me the card, especially when she said she hopes she never does business with me again. I was really taken aback because all the requests were to get the house to code and as advertised. She doesn't come off genuine. This was a way back but it still amazes me when I think about it.
