Testimonials

We had an amazing experience working with Elic and can’t recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, it was clear how knowledgeable he is about the East Bay market. He came incredibly prepared with detailed comps and thoughtful data about our current home, which immediately gave us confidence in his approach. When it came to buying, he helped us quickly find a home we truly loved and guided us in crafting a strong, competitive offer. He also guided us through inspection reports with a clear focus on what was truly important, helping us avoid unnecessary stress. For the home we ultimately purchased, he proactively monitored the status of the seller’s agreed-upon repairs, taking that responsibility completely off our plate. On the selling side, Elic’s expertise really stood out. He gave us clear, strategic advice on which upgrades would make the biggest impact, connected u…

On the selling side, Elic’s expertise really stood out. He gave us clear, strategic advice on which upgrades would make the biggest impact, connected us with great vendors for the work and staging, and managed the entire process seamlessly. The end result exceeded our expectations—we sold our home for more than we had hoped. What we appreciated most was how easy he made everything feel. Buying and selling at the same time can be overwhelming, especially during a busy period in life, but Elic handled every detail and only looped us in when key decisions were needed. When he did, he always provided thoughtful guidance so we felt confident every step of the way. His strong relationships within the local agent community and deep market knowledge really made a difference in such a competitive environment. Overall, Elic is professional, responsive, and incredibly effective. We’re so grateful for his support and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the East Bay.

Gabriela ROCKS!!! I could not recommend her any more highly. My wife and I were first-time home buyers in our 40s and knew nothing about the process. Frankly, part of why it took us so long is because we were intimidated by the process. Gabriela came very highly recommended by a friend of mine, and what really stuck out to me was how much integrity he felt she had. We saw that in spades! We met Gabriela at her office and she was incredibly warm and knowledgeable. She walked us through the process so expertly. That was December 9. About a week later, she took us on a marathon tour of 8 houses we'd wanted to see in the East Bay. She was so patient and totally willing to let us take as much time to look around and see as many properties as we wanted. She probably spent at least 7 or 8 hours with us that day, and probably would've gone to look at more if we hadn't tapped out. We decided we w…

She was so patient and totally willing to let us take as much time to look around and see as many properties as we wanted. She probably spent at least 7 or 8 hours with us that day, and probably would've gone to look at more if we hadn't tapped out. We decided we wanted to submit an offer on a lovely home. She guided us through what offer to make, and her advice was invaluable. She had a feeling about the seller and the seller's agent, and felt that we could get the house for less than the listing price, which freaked us out a little because we've all heard the crazy stories about how much houses in the Bay Area go for. But she held firm, we submitted our bid, and less than two weeks after meeting her, we had our offer on the house accepted! What followed was a whirlwind month of inspections and paperwork and more paperwork, but all of it was masterfully shepherded along by Gabriela, WHILE SHE WAS ON A PRE-PLANNED HOLIDAY CRUISE VACATION IN BARBADOS WITH HER IN-LAWS!!! She also got us appraisal and inspection contingencies - unheard of these days - and negotiated a substantial credit on our closing costs. She's simply amazing. We finally closed on the house and got the keys yesterday, and she came and had pastries and a toast at the house with us. She even brought our daughter a little sheepskin blanket she'd liked on our house tour in another home, and champagne and champagne glasses! We wish she were part of the family! Please, please, please use her for all of your real estate needs. Hell, she's given us amazing ideas for interior decorating and home improvements, too! She can do everything! Thank you, Gabriela.
