ZillowVERIFIEDAlex went from being a friend to someone I fully trusted to have my best interests at heart during the entire process. He was highly communicative, patient, and always willing to answer every question. I felt supported from start to finish and couldnt recommend him more.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy experience working with Alex as my realtor was top tier! He was very patient with me as this was my first time buying a home. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and my financial situation From there he referred me to Juan, my loan officer. The three of us worked together to find a house that I qualified for. Alex found places and scheduled places I also found to look at and eventually led to finding my home. The communication from Alex and Juan was impeccable. They both answered questions when I had them. Thats something I truly was thankful for. I Wish more people were like that. Alex guided me through every step and provided his knowledge and expertise during the home buying process. As soon as the papers were signed, Alex met me at the house and handed me the keys. It was a big commitment and accomplishment I completed for myself and Alex was there to help me buy my first home. Thank you so much, Alex!

ZillowVERIFIEDI became a first time homeowner because of Mari Wines. She made this process very easy for me. In fact, I am still in shock at how things happened and how quickly they happened. I feel that my experience should be something every homeowner gets to experience. Mari is knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy, supportive, and a handful of other great qualities. I learned a lot from Mari during this process. I appreciate her expertise, consistency, punctuality, and kindness. My new home in Concord, CA would not have been possible if she did not encourage me to see the place. I originally declined to see it because I thought the price was out of my range, however, she assured me that it was possible. A couple days later I got the call that my offer was accepted! As previously stated, I appreciate many qualities about Mari, and In my opinion, she went above and beyond to help this process run smoothly. I highly recommend her for that reason.

ZillowVERIFIEDMari Wines is a true professional, a great negotiator, and a better friend that did a wonderful job from start to finish. As first-time homebuyers we anticipated this being the most intimidating and stressful experience of our life, yet Mari made it so easy. She did a great job keeping us informed and helped us understand every detail of the process along the way. We purchased the third house we looked at in Oakley, CA and Mari worked hard to negotiate big money back, despite some seriously stubborn sellers. Thank you, Mari for helping us make the right decision and working meticulously to process everything so quickly. It was a no brainer. We knew when we finally decided to buy, Mari would be the broker for us.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Mari Wines was an absolute game-changer. From our first meeting, it was clear that she brings not only expertise but also genuine passion to every step of the listing process. Mari was relentless in her pursuit to get us top dollaraEUR"strategically pricing our home in Pleasanton, CA, staging it beautifully, and negotiating every detail with confidence and care. She treated the sale as if it were her own, and the results spoke for themselves. We couldnt be more grateful for her commitment, energy, and professionalism. If you want someone truly invested in your success, Mari is the one.
