Working with Elisa was a fantastic experience. She is committed to her clients and was patient and understanding as we navigated the market while looking for our new home in the East Bay. She is professional, kind, and has an immense amount of knowledge of the Bay Area. She is compassionate and looked out for our needs at all times. With her expertise and positivity, we were able to purchase a home we truly love. We could not have asked for a better agent and recommend Elisa wholeheartedly.

When my girlfriend and I wanted to start looking for a single family home somewhere in the bay area, we knew that it would be challenging to find something that fit all our needs and still remained within our budget. Working with Patty was an absolute delight aEUR" not only does she have amazing knowledge of all the neighborhoods of the east bay, but she was able to help guide us, as first time home buyers, through the process of bidding and closing. Patty was a major factor in helping us secure the home we ended up buying. Based on everything we had seen from our house hunting, we believed that our current home was well out of price range. Patty was able to scope out that the amount of bidders was lower than normal, and she advised that we would have a chance at getting it at a reasonable price. 4 months later, we are still in disbelief that we managed to secure this beautiful home in one of the most competitive markets in the United-States. Patty is incredibly hard working and excellent at what she does, and we would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

When my wife and I needed to sell our condo in Oakland and move to the East Coast (in the middle of a pandemic, no less!), her reassuring demeanor, expertise, and connections helped us navigate the ever-changing landscape and make the transaction a success.If you're thinking of selling your East Bay property, Elisa is an excellent resource to have, and even if you're not thinking of selling right now, I recommend having her number on speed dial for when that time comes!

Elisa was absolutely wonderful to work with while we purchased our first home! From the very start she made sure to arm us with the information and context that we needed to make informed decisions, including going over standard disclosures for California and reading through inspection reports in detail so we could get a better sense of what we were comfortable taking on. When it came time to put in an offer, she was great about building a relationship with the selling agent and understanding the full context of the sale so that we could put in the best offer possible. Throughout the whole process, we felt like Elisa was on the ball, professional, and never made us feel pressured about any decision. We will definitely be recommending her to all of our friends in the future!

As first time homebuyers, there was a lot about the home buying process we didnt know and werent prepared for before diving into our search. We were so lucky to find Elisa! From our first conversation, we could tell she was very knowledgeable and was so great at explaining clearly some of the complicated steps and terms associated with home buying. She took the time to really get to know what our needs were and always had that in mind, while keeping us open minded about neighborhoods we were previously unfamiliar with. Elisa introduced us to our lender, who was great to work with as well. Our home search took longer than we initially expected, and Elisa was very helpful the whole time and very understanding with the emotional roller coaster of writing multiple offers. In such an unprecedented time, she was super responsive, organized, and strategic with scheduling showings. Her expertise also guided us in our decision making and we always felt like we were going in with our best and strongest offer in every scenario. She even took the time to go over any concerns and questions we had about specific items in disclosures, which really helped us figure out what mattered the most. In the end, we landed in our dream location (that we honestly had almost lost hope about because of the highly competitive market) and I'm certain we would not have found or considered this home without Elisa promptly scheduling a showing as soon as it was listed. Were sitting on our cute little porch writing this and could not be happier. Were so grateful to Elisa!
