ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Crystal was Exceptional! I am incredibly grateful to have worked with her. She took over during a challenging time in the sale of my property and completely turned things around. Her knowledge, responsiveness and calm approach made all the difference. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled correctly, and I felt confident knowing she was leading the process. I would not hesitate to work with her again.
ZillowVERIFIEDNot only did Ellen help us find a place in our preferred neighborhood, in our price point, with most/all our must haves + someaEUR| but we were literally under contract less than A MONTH working with her! Honestly our only feedback is we wish we could hang with her more!
ZillowVERIFIEDThroughout the home buying process we were impressed with Ellen's knowledge of the housing market and local community. Our first offer was accepted for a home in a neighborhood we didn't think we could afford. Ellen is a tough negotiator. She helped us secure a credit from the seller which we are using for home renovations. Ellen coordinated everything with the seller's agent, mortgage broker, title company, and helped us obtain home insurance. In addition, she recommended local contractors so we knew what to expect during the home renovation process. She also recommended a moving company that quoted us a fair price. They did an excellent job. Buying a home in California is not easy which is why we were grateful to have her guide us through the transaction. When you work with Ellen, you are working with an entire team of professionals who know exactly how the home buying process works. She is very responsive and communicates well with her clients. We loved working with her.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy partner and I finally bought our first home last month and it was all because of our realtor, Ellen Martinez. We had been working with her for a few years and I am sure we were not easy clients. She genuinely cared about finding the perfect home for us. She was patient, never pushy, and made sure we felt confident in every decision. Ellen always had great contacts for quick inspections and construction quotes. We believe Ellen went above and beyond to help us get our house. Even after our offer was accepted, she stayed involved and made sure the process went smoothly until we moved in. We could not have asked for a better realtor. We would highly recommend Ellen to anyone.
ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Ellen and Crystal was the best real estate experience my husband and I could have asked for. The team is extremely knowledgeable on not just the Bay Area real estate market but also home construction. They worked with us over a ~2-year span as we waited for a favorable interest rate environment. As we toured homes together, they were able to point out several green and red flags in each home making us feel confident in the home we eventually chose. They were also realistic about the real estate environment and our chances within it, which is extremely helpful in such a competitive market. Thanks to their expertise we were the winning bid in the first and only offer we submitted and almost 2 years later we remain extremely happy and in love with our home. They have continued to be helpful even after our purchase, always willing to give us suggestions and recommendations for services and vendors for all of our home care needs. We previously worked with three different realtors in the Bay Area and can say without a doubt that Ellen and Crystal are the best team out there. I highly recommend working with Ellen and Crystal!
