To say it's been a privilege to work with Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo is an understatement. They are without a doubt the BEST real estate agents in the San Jose-South Bay area (and quite possibly the entire bay area). They are the most responsive and communicative agents I've ever interacted with (both from a selling and buying perspective), transparent, diligent, incredibly hard-working, and highly experienced. Buying and selling real estate is not for the faint of heart, let alone a small or easy task. This is THE tiger team you want to entrust with your real estate needs. We have had the worst experience with agents, from both a selling and buying perspective, to the point where we considered selling and buying on our own with no agent. Every agent we reached out to had the same old story; no one stood out as unique or better equipped than the other, making it that much harder to find a new agent. During our discovery to sell and buy on our own, we were strongly referred to Sandy and Joe at Compass, and it was one of the best, life-changing referrals and decisions of my life. They helped us sell our condo in quite possibly the worst time and season to sell, let alone a condo, and buy a home in the slowest season with terribly low inventory. Throughout this 6-mo long process, their high-touch communication, transparency, diligence, and speed at which they worked (despite the tough conditions) were unlike anything Ive experienced. aEURoeSandy Sicsko and Joe BorromeoaEUR? have become an expression in our home. aEURoeIf it isnt Sandy and Joe level of service, I dont want it.aEUR?

We had the pleasure of working with Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team to purchase our first home in San Jose, CA, and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Sandy and Joe, we felt at ease and comfortable. Their warm and welcoming demeanors instantly put us at ease, and made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience feel surprisingly relaxed. I really appreciated them getting to know us personally, and showing a sincere interest in our hopes for our first home. This connection reassured us that we not only found someone to represent us as buyers but also individuals who genuinely cared about our journey to find the right home. Sandy and Joe went above and beyond in advocating for us through the entire home-buying process. They were proactive in ensuring that our interests were protected, especially when it came to navigating the complexities of contracts and contingencies. I am so grateful for their help with guiding us through the entire process, ensuring that we were fully informed and comfortable before proceeding. This not only gave us peace of mind, but also shielded us when the opposing realtor argued certain terms or hidden obligations that we were protected against. In addition, Sandy and Joe demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills when it came time to make our offer. Their guidance helped position our offer to be competitive yet fair, leveraging their knowledge and understanding of current trends. I appreciated their expertise and assertiveness in negotiations because we didnt overpay for our new home. They skillfully negotiated terms that were beneficial to us, and without them we may have agreed to much more unreasonable terms without contingencies because of the pressure from the sellers realtor. Lastly, I greatly appreciated their responsiveness and dedication. Whether it be on weekends and evenings, I could always call them. Their professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence that we were making informed decisions. Overall, we are beyond grateful for Sandy and Joe's guidance and support. They made what could have been a stressful process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team as the best buyers agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area. I am so grateful for their help in finding our new home!!

When my parents died my sister & I inherited our house so I have never had to buy or sell a house. When it was time to sell my friends condo after he passed I was clueless how to even start the process. Fortunately I was recommended to hire Sandy Sicsko from Compass along with her partner, Joe Borromeo. I didn't even know the right questions to ask. Sandy met with me and went over everything taking her time and making sure I understood everything she said.The entire Real Estate Team was extremely helpful every step of the way from staging his place to finding a great buyer and closing the deal. They were outstanding and took all the stress out of this process. Whether you have bought or sold before or this is your first time, I highly recommend this amazing team as they will be there for you every step of the way any place in the Bay Area.

Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team were a force and the reason we secured our dream property! My mind is blown at how these two people work together and cover each other to make the response time always instant! Sandy went above and beyond to show us all of Los Gatos and worked tirelessly on the negotiation that ultimately secured the home for us. We also met with Joe when Sandy couldn't be available at our preferred time slot and I was blow away with his knowledge, patience and genuine care for our experience. It's a competitive market and I believe the reason we got our place is because of these two top notch humans. I highly recommend Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team.
