This is our mission. Empower. Elevate. Enrich. Visit Our Website * * * About Chris: Finding a client is just as hard as finding a REALTOR. We must have many of the same values. A few of mine are integrity, a caring nature, and honesty which I feel are most needed to be able to help each other. By integrating personal touch and technology, I strive to give my clients the best possible experience. Technology is changing rapidly, and I use it to help position my clients to be ahead of the game. My style is different than most; I love to have fun and enjoy conversations with my clients. I use an expectation approach, so everything is in the open and there are no misunderstandings. I believe in building friendships and not just business relationships. For Buyers: I have invested in a website and app to allow you to browse directly to the MLS for your dream home. The best part about the site is we can communicate about each property to allow smooth communication. For Sellers: Marketing is beyond just being on the internet; it's the overall presentation. I create custom brochure, use professional photography, real HD video, 3D Matterport, which collectively, will allow buyers to view your home without even stepping inside. I enjoy making a positive impact on others' lives. I worked for Sleep Train for ten years running their top store. I did this by leading a team to break numerous records while helping people perfect their sleep. Now I'm ready to help you find your perfect home! Something you would never know if you didn't know me: I believe that one day, by hard work and taking care of people, I will be able to write a successful book that kids will read in school. This book will be a story of someone who had no diploma or degree but chose the path of success. It will show that helping others and giving back will always WIN!!!

If you are buying a house in the East Bay this is the Real Estate Agent you need. With her knowledge and guidance, we purchased and sold our first two homes. Mari is responsive, experienced, and honest. She will not stop until you are in your dream home and we are so happy we chose her to make our dream a reality!

My husband and I reached out to Mari with pretty much no hope that we would be able to purchase a home, but because of the sky-rocketing rental prices we inquired just to see what she would say. The process of pre-approval was easy, and much to our surprise we qualified-- and we had options! After Mari eased our anxieties and we looked around for about a month or two to see what our money could get us, we settled on purchasing a new build. And let me tell you, purchasing a new build is a whole different ball game. If you are thinking of buying a new build, I recommend you have Mari guide you before even going to look at them. Thanks to Mari, we are living in our very own first home (and it feels so good to own!) with an interest rate that isn't breaking the bank and we were able to play the builders game like pros.

ALEX WAS EXCEPTIONAL! From start to finish, Alex walked me and my family through everything. He was patient, honest, dependable and knowledgeable. Everything you can have in a realtor and then some! His dedication to us made our first home buying experience smooth. We found our dream home, got our offer accepted within hours on the same day, and closed escrow in fewer than 25 days. We were truly lucky to meet Alex and have him guide us through this new journey. Thank you so much Alex. My family and I truly appreciate everything you've done!

Testimonial Alex was very flexible with time, especially when we are running behind. He understood and was understanding. He gave us a gift that we will never forget. Our Home sign with our family name. It's the best gift for someone who purchased their first home. The Banzon's - Oakley, CA

I found Alex through a referral and I am so glad they connected me with him. I currently live in LA and planned on moving back to NorCal but needed more support in figuring out if it was a realistic situation for me. Alex quickly connected me with the broker team and made my dream possible. At 25, during one of the busiest housing market sales I was able to purchase a home with my husband for our growing family. Alex handled everything for me and made it the easiest process. Thank you so much Alex!! Vivian Lopez; Pittsburg
