Anna

Buyer

Ann was a miracle worker. Not only did the house sell in one week but with multiple (7) offers. Just as important to me and my two daughters is her upbeat positive manner answering any and all questions and requests. Keeping us focused and in touch with reality.

Dora Bellport

Shannon did a very good job for us. I was very happy that we selected her to represent us on the sale of our family home in Orinda. Shannon is a genuine person. She took a sincere interest in representing us. She utilized efficiently the resources of her company. I recommend her with no hesitation.

Dave

My house sold for 20% over asking and it was a very easy Escrow. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent in Ignacio Vega.
