    Arlene went above and beyond for us throughout our home buying journey, from preparing a detailed real estate report on the area we were interested in to ensuring we had a seamless closing & move-in. Her can-do attitude and problem solving skills were especially appreciated because we had our hands full with an active toddler and expecting a second kid. If you want a realtor who gets things done and is lovely to work with, look not further.

    My husband and I used Arlene as our agent when purchasing our first home earlier this year and have found that it's hard to describe just how wonderful she is. Close friends of ours used her to buy their home and they loved working with her so much we knew we had to go with Arlene when it was time for us to buy. As first time home buyers, navigating the process seemed intimidating but Arlene made it as simple as possible. She knows the area extremely well and quickly picked up on the details and small things that we were looking for in a home that can sometimes be hard to describe. She made sure to familiarize us to all of the paperwork and forms that go into the house buying process well before we were putting an offer in so we would be prepared to move quickly in a competitive market. Not only did Arlene help us navigate an extremely stressful market with ease but she went above and beyond in her customer service. We truly felt like she put our needs and desires first and was not looking to get us to buy the first house that we saw just so she could make her commission. Although we have no plans of leaving the Bay or selling our home I seriously hope I get to work with Arlene again because she is the complete package and everything you could ask for in an agent.

    Arlene is an incredible realtor with decades of experience buying and selling homes. When I started looking for places, she immediately had recommendations for neighborhoods to focus on and neighborhoods to skip, which helped narrow down the search. She gave me great advice throughout the process and was able to negotiate a great price, even lower than I was wiling to pay! In addition to her skills, working with Arlene means you get to leverage her extensive network - lenders, inspectors, and cleaners to name a few. Her close relationship with my lender allowed me to get a pre-approval letter for my offer in record time and also lock in a great rate right before rates went up. Thank you Arlene for all of your help. I couldnt be happier with how everything worked out!

    I contacted Arlene because she has very good reviews. We are so happy to have Arlene as our selling agent. When we first met, Arlene kept us up to date the current housing market and the process of selling the house. Arlene then navigated and guided us through the selling process. She kept us informed and took the time to explain to us what and when to do what. Arlene and her team took care of all the upgrading work of the house, and we didnt have to worry for anything. This was a great relief for us. Arlene tried every effort to minimize our cost and know what is needed to replace or to fix and make our house presentable . It turned out we had multiples offers and sold our house in just a few weeks above our asking price. Arlene is professional, very organized, knowledgeable in the housing market and always ready to help. We were very thankful to Arlene for her help in selling our house. More than a real estate agent, Arlene has become our family friend. Definite Arlene will be our first choice in selling/buying a house and recommend her to our friends as well.

    I first used Arlene to buy my current house in 2014, and I just recently worked with her to sell our rental condo last month. She is also my sister's realtor :) She is the definition of total pro, and I know that her recommendations, oversight, and strategy helped us sell for a price I was only dreaming of getting. Over the years Arlene has become a family friend, not just my realtor, but make no mistake: She is the BEST realtor.
