    We had a fantastic experience working with Jelena Gapasin on the purchase of our first home in San Jose. From start to finish, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Jelena is incredibly knowledgeable and helped us understand every step, which meant a lot as first-time buyers. She provided us with multiple great alternatives to consider, always keeping our needs and preferences in mind. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, we were able to find the right home and close the deal quickly. Were truly grateful for her support and highly recommend Jelena to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.

    Sogol was an incredible partner and advisor to us throughout the home buying process. She was consistently responsive, always available to address any concerns, mapped out workflows so we knew what to expect and when, and connected us with all the additional expertise we needed. She was also really thoughtful, warm and personable. Were grateful we connected with her!

    From the moment we started our home-buying journey, we knew we were looking for more than just a realtor - we needed a true partner. With Jelena, we found that and so much more. She didn't just help us buy a house; she expertly navigated us through a complex market to find the perfect place we now proudly call home. Jelena's market knowledge is unparalleled. She was able to quickly grasp exactly what we were looking for, filtering listings with surgical precision so we never wasted time on properties that didn't fit our criteria. In a competitive environment, her timely insights and strategic advice were the only reason we were successful. She always knew exactly what the next best move was, from pricing strategy to offer contingencies. What truly sets Jelena apart is her dedication and communication. She was always accessible, responding to calls and texts instantly, often outside of normal business hours. We always felt like her top priority. When the inevitable hurdles arose - be it during inspection or negotiations - Jelena was a calm, steady, and fierce advocate for us, managing the stress so we didn't have to. Jelena went above and beyond the standard service: She provided a curated list of trusted local vendors (inspectors, lenders, contractors) that were all top-tier. She proactively followed up with the seller's agent after closing to ensure smooth transition of utilities and paperwork. If you are looking for an agent who is not only professional, strategic, and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about her clients and delivers exceptional results, look no further than Jelena. We recommend her without a single hesitation and would use her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jelena, for turning a stressful search into a successful and truly exciting experience!
