Stefan has been a wonderful agent for me for 19 years. He helped me buy my first home in 2004. Last year he was a huge help in getting me into a home I thought I could only aspire to own. The recommendations and professional advice help lead the way. He was instrumental in the sale of my first purchase. Stefan is a fantastic listener and will help work with you to get you to your real estate goals.

Corinne was great partner when it came to helping my wife and I find a home. As first time buyers, we appreciated all the knowledge Corinne had to share with us about not only the home buying process but also how to maintain a home. She stuck with us despite a 1 year hiatus in our home search and the hot real estate market in the east bay 2021-2022. Her persistence and diligence in reviewing every home inspection packet was admirable. I am appreciative of her persistence in helping us find our home as we navigated the real estate market and inspite of our changing preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.

Corrine has been the most important piece in my home search puzzle. If it was not for her detailed explanations ,care for me to make a good decision and thoroughness I would not have been able to purchase my dream home. When you have Corrine as an agent, its like having a family member looking with you. You feel secured cared about and most importantly, you know that you will not be scammed nor would you be victim of a very bad deal. I am very new to the American market as I am an immigrant, and I lived all of my life in morocco. Corrine was a Masterclass teacher, and she was there for me explain to me the nitty-gritty ins and outs of this process. She was very patient with all the events that are happening in between. She has a whole ecosystem of people that she knows, and recommends to help you along the way from a lender to a contractor, and she even would do things that go above and beyond that I still cannot comprehend after having lived for a long time in America just to give you an idea during our moving she was there and brought her truck to help us because we had a hard time finding a good moving company. She?s also a perfectionist, she checks every single detail of the prospective properties make sure that whatever is listed is actually representative. In reality, she goes above and beyond to be a liaison between you and the sellers agency and is not afraid to make a bold moves to my advantage. Shes the kind of person that loves to save people? if I may say. She makes it her mission for you to be comfortable at ease and anxiety free m. In a number of times, I would call her at outside of business hours like very late at night and she would answer and research and make sure I get reassured. I think she has this natural in helping people and you just know it, she doesnt have to say it to you, but you know that she wants you to be as equally knowledgeable about homebuying in the Bay Area as her, which is a great sign of generosity. Her husband Mike has been also very helpful, especially after our move-in and in the very beginning of the process too. When you have Mike and Corrine its like you have two parents who want you to make the right decision and who really care for you. I am very grateful to have met Corrine in this very tough industry. Where it is very hard to find good hearted people. Corrine is now not just my real estate agent. Shes someone that I would look up to and ask whenever Im struggling in this American culture that is a little bit foreign to me still. She is now a friend that I would gladly spend time with and invite back home. Thank you Corrine from the bottom of my heart for your empathy, professionalism, expertise, and coaching and for helping me in this process of buying my very first home that is if I may very far from my real home in morocco.

It is with great pleasure that I write this review for Corrine, our realtor. Corrine is a true professional in every sense of the word, and her passion for her job is truly inspiring. As first-time home buyers, my spouse and I were completely new to the home buying process and had limited knowledge. However, Corrine was there every step of the way, guiding us and offering her expertise. When we reached out to Corrine about a property that we had fallen in love with, it was initially off the market due to a pending sale. But Corrine didnt let that stop her. She kept a watchful eye on the property and alerted us immediately when the sale fell through. Thanks to her efforts, we were able to secure the property with an all-cash bid. Corrine didnt stop there. After we bought the property, she went above and beyond by giving us recommendations for contractors, movers, and other professionals to make the transition into our new home seamless. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Corrine to anyone in need of a realtor. She is knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to her clients. We are grateful for all that she has done for us and will always remember her as a key player in our journey to becoming homeowners

Corinne has been instrumental in helping me sell one house and buy two over the past few years. Buying and selling property is an inherently complex process, but Corinne makes it as straightforward as possible for me while keeping track of the many moving pieces and multiple deadlines. She is very communicative and quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls, and always patiently answers all my questions. However, when were looking at properties together, I always feel that I have her undivided attention, which often isnt true of other busy people. Even without looking at her resume, you can tell from talking with Corinne that she has many years of experience in real estate and isnt fazed by tricky situations. She is very knowledgeable about the housing market and has given me advice that has proven to still be accurate many years later. Corinnes attention to detail is second to none. Looking at houses with Corinne is always insightful because shell notice small things (both positive and negative) that I would have missed. She also takes the time to comb through disclosure packets to give her honest opinion on the condition of the house - an essential part of buying in the Bay Area where most houses are decades old and have withstood a major earthquake or two. I highly recommend Corinne to anyone buying or selling their house, and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Corinne has a ton of energy and was a pleasure to work with. She was usually available at a moments notice to look at potential properties in different neighborhoods. My search criteria were finicky and often inconsistent, ranging in price, location, square footage, and style of residence, but Corinne quickly began to understand how my brain worked to find condos which would appeal to me in one way or another. She also took me to condominiums which were not necessarily good fits in order to broaden my knowledge of the market and provide additional context for my search results.

Kira Halpern is very professional. Over the past few years, she has sold 2 homes for me, and should I be in this situation again Kira is the first person I would call. The 2 homes had lots of challenges as they were older, love but not well cared for. In both situations the stress level was high for me and Kira was the stress reliever. She knew how to handle things I found most perplexing. Kira had a knowledge to answer my various questions. She also gave me useful referrals to deal with the logistics of moving and readying the homes for sale. Kira was with me very step of the way. I cant say enough good things about her.

Kira! I am writing to highlight the extended service I received for seven years off and on, from you and your business associate from Winklers Realtor... We initiated our relationship back in the fall of 2014, and you were a referral...At the time my cousin and I were having many challenges with community property, I wanted to sell and my cousin didnt... However, Kira and her business associate were extremely hands-on in assisting us (my cousin and I) with their professional advice together and separately... My cousin and I couldnt agree on the terms Kira and her associate presented to resolve our particular circumstances...Our communication was back and forward and I had exhausted my efforts during that time to resolve our issues to sell the properties... I ended my interaction with Kira with the intention of reconnecting in the future when her services would be necessary with regard to Real Estate... Fast forward, I reached out to Kira again in June 2020 after my cousin Transitioned... She and the same business associate were there as I needed them to provide the necessary services with regard to ALL the particulars to successfully and timely sell the property. After authorization from my Attorney, Kira and her associate hired the needed professionals in its entirety to tag team and WE made it happen smoothly...!?! The property was sold in July 2021, it was collectively a great partnership and certainly, a smooth situation during that (13) months ...Kira and her associate were very attentive, patient, and certainly once again hands-on with the entire process to sell the property... Keep in mind, this was during COVID-19, and yes when I say attentive it was very smooth!! Respectfully, Marion B Owens
