We have rarely come across people as good at their jobs as Sonia. Her communication and follow up is just flawless. We had the opportunity to work with her through our home search and selection process and she always brought us such pragmatic support that it made such a large decision in our lives so much more manageable. Her years of experience brought so much useful insight that we never felt like we were blindly approaching any aspect of the home buying experience. We appreciate her guidance through this process and we also hope more people get a chance to experience the fantastic support we received. She always goes the extra mile and always has your back. It makes an immense difference! Thank you very much, Sonia.

Overall, we had a very good experience with Sonia. She was super friendly, and more than willing to guide us through the process, which was invaluable to us as first time buyers. She had several conversations with us before commiting to work together, and sprung into action to get us signed and ready to make an offer on a signle day's turnaround. She did the legwork to understand the history of offers on the property so that we could make a competitive offer, and we were ecstatic when our offer was accepted after only one counter from the seller, avoiding a bidding war. While the early part of the purchase was worthy of a five star rating, there were some issues that we would like to highlight, and have caused us to remove 1 star from the overall rating. First, we feel that Sonia was too trusting of the seller, most notably when the seller disclosed that some critical work had been done by someone who was not a licensed contractor. Sonia doubted that we should have cause for concern, and advised us not to request explicit concessions from the seller. That said, she did help us to negotiate with the seller to do additional inspections and provide necessary fixes. Second, Sonia appeared somewhat unsure about how to handle a couple nonstandard situations, including writing an offer with a loan contingency and dealing with a broken cabinet found in the final walkthrough. Third, Sonia would send direct screenshots of our communications to the Seller's agent, at times including information we did not intend to disclose to the seller. And multiple times, Sonia accidentally sent us a text meant for one of her other clients; this left us wondering how much of our communications had been accidentally shared with others. Our aim is to provide honest feedback and help Sonia represent future buyers. All things considered, we had a very good experience with Sonia. In a relationship whose purpose and structure put the buyer at a disadvantage, especially in the Bay Area, Sonia did a good job helping us achieve our goals.

We met Sonia at an open house she was hosting in Santa Clara and fell in love with what she had done to the property and how fast it went off the market. We were impressed by the thorough documentation on all the updates, plans, and permits she prepared at the open house, as well as how much care she put into speaking with each party that was touring the home. We reached to her first to see if she could represent us as our buyers agent. In all sincerity, she was the best agent we could have asked for as first time home buyers. She was educational, transparent, thorough, responsive, respectful, and professional. Although she is soft spoken, she is firm and has your best interest when it comes to interacting with sellers agents. We enjoyed going to view homes and getting her insights and her general contractors knowledge on potential upgrades to the house as well. Needless to say, we will continue working with Sonia in the future and have recommended her to potential buyer friends without hesitation.

As I neared my retirement years, I had the opportunity to buy some property out of state and work on building me a new homestead. Unfortunately I had spent my savings faster than I planned, so to complete the work on my new homestead I was suddenly needing to sell my primary residence, after living there for 26 years. I needed to sell quickly or get someone to provide me a loan to help with living costs and any renovation costs prior to selling. This was my first time selling a house, and I only knew of a few real estate agents. As I interviewed them, I explained my situation along with my desire to renovate the house and the need for a loan, not to mention my needing them to educate me on the requirements to sell my home. I had met Sonia Maiello years earlier as she went door-to-door with flyers with available real estate and housing market information. Sonia hosted neighborhood potlucks at her home which was also in my neighborhood. Sonia has always projected herself as a friendly and a very proactively helpful person. Once, when I considered some work on my house, Sonia had provided me with some professional contacts. When I interviewed Sonia, in hope to selling my home, she had brought along a General Contractor (Rolando Molina - MBC remodeling Inc.) which she was familiar with, so that we could consider the renovation options. It was a great experience. They listened patiently to my ideas, and they presented ideas of their own which they thought would help improve the sell point. With Sonia‘s encouragement the General Contractor agreed to carry the cost of the renovations through to escrow. His itemized estimate for the renovation options were quite reasonable. I was also having problems finding a loan at traditional loan institutions, once again Sonia leaped into action with her well rounded knowledge in the housing industry and came to my rescue by referring me to some private investors. This allowed me to manage living expenses and have my home renovated before selling! Furthermore, I needed help packing my belongings for the move out of state, and again Sonia worked with Rolando to provide me with services to help out, Since I was no longer living locally. Sonia went above and beyond to provided me with regular updates of the beautiful renovations along side some amazing and luxurious landscaping. Sonia kept communication channels open between Rolando’s work crew and I. When inspections were needed, Sonia was able to find inspection companies that could wait to be compensated at the closing of escrow. Sonia also helped bring clarity to the tasking forms that I needed to fill out and helped keep me on schedule as we approached putting my home on the market. Sonia did an excellent job of marketing my house, she looped me in with an excellent staging company, got great photo’s and even great content of a virtual tour for the listings. She sent out e-mails to her mailing lists, went door to door in the neighborhood to hand out flyers and invite neighbors to the open houses that she hosted. Within a weeks time we had 8 bids all above asking with a bit of a bidding war between two bidders. I’m pretty confidant that Sonia and her connections, along with Rolando’s team helped me get close to half a million dollars more than if I had sold “as-is”! Thank you so much for your help Sonia! Please pass along my upmost gratitude to the rest of your team for their assistance.

We recently worked with Sonia to sell two of our properties in the Sunnyvale and San Jose areas, and we could not be more satisfied with the experience. From day one, Sonia was exceptional at preparing the listings. She provided clear, actionable guidance on getting the houses market-ready and followed it up with a top-tier marketing strategy that drove fantastic interest. When it came time to review offers, her presentation was incredibly organized, and her sharp negotiation skills ensured we maximized our return on both sales. Sonia made a complex process feel entirely seamless. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a strategic, dedicated, and highly effective real estate agent.

Sonia is an exceptional real estate agent! As soon as we told her we wanted to sell, she started working on it immediately. She was incredibly proactive in preparing us, guiding us through everything from initial discussions, necessary fixes to staging and pricing strategy. Since our timeline was very tight, she arranged everything in a heartbeat. Sonia is very responsive and always kept us updated so we knew exactly where we were in the process. She discussed the offerings with us very thoroughly and gave excellent suggestions, and the result exceeded our expectations!

We were so fortunate to have Sonia as our agent for our townhouse at 975 Cassia Place. I cannot recommend Sonia enough! She is simply wonderful to work with.
