Joy is one of the most amazing realtors out there. She will not only help you to buy your dream house but also will always be there for you through out the process. She is very sweet and will do everything on her means to help you get the best deal. In addition, Joy is a quick communicator and doesn't hesitate to work for you in the off-hours and weekends. She was always there for us and helped us even after closing the deal. Looking back, me and my wife are extremely delighted and proud of our decision to have her as our real estate agent. I strongly believe that this relationship will not end here and She will help us buy more properties in future. Again, our highest recommendation belongs to Joy and I urge all the buyers and sellers to talk to her before you buy or sell any properties. I am pretty sure that you won't regret that decision. Thank you, Subash & Suinda

It was such a pleasure meeting and working with Lori. Our paths crossed by chance when we reached out to her to tour a home she listed. Immediately, I could tell that Lori was invested in helping people find a home, versus selling them a house. She was patient in answering our questions about the home, the surrounding area, and any concerns we had during the buying process. Lori was fantastic at communicating with us and very quick to respond to our calls/texts. Once we were ready to move into our new home, Lori went above and beyond to ensure a seamless handover of keys, bring us up to speed on the ins and outs of the home, and even left an incredibly thoughtful personal welcome gift and move in amenities to see us through our first few days. In addition to her support as an agent, Lori also helped give us referrals and recommendations to other businesses in the area and has been a fantastic resource for us to lean on. Given her long standing career in the area, I would not hesitate to work with Lori if you are looking to buy a home in Walnut Creek and the surrounding cities. You will be in fantastic, caring hands that know what they're doing!

Julie did an outstanding job assisting us to find and purchase our new house. Something I can highlight about Julie is her great responsibility, knowledge and experience as a realtor, she clearly understood the needs of our family and found the best option for us. I highly recommend Julie as a realtor.

Julie made our first-time home buying experience truly enjoyable. She was more than just a realtor; she was a trusted advisor and advocate. Her expertise shone through in every interaction, and she always made us feel like we were her top priority. From explaining complex terms to navigating tricky negotiations, Julie was there every step of the way. We can't thank her enough for helping us find our home!

Aubrey was very knowledgeable about the Rossmoor market. She picked up quickly on what we were looking for and monitored and sifted through listings for good matches. This enabled us to focus and see potential properties quickly in a very competitive market where properties are sold within days. She was extremely responsive and flexible to showing places given our unpredictable schedules. Overall, we were very happy working with Aubrey and we were able to find our forever home for my mother.
