    Working with Maya Arechiga at Red Oak Realty was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Maya took the time to understand what my family was needing and made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free. She was very hands on with our budget, items that needed remodeling and repaired, and how to promote the home for selling. She was also very sensitive to our family dynamics and how to make the big process so smooth. Her expertise in the local market helped my family to sell our home at a great price. I highly recommend Maya Arechiga to anyone looking to buy or sell a home aEUR" you wont be disappointed!

    We feel extremely grateful and lucky to have had Maya Arichega as our realtor when we sold our e townhouse of 36 years in the El Cerrito Hills. It was an emotionally challenging decision process for us, and Maya was a constant port in the storm. She seemed to be always available to talk and listen, give endless information, resources, advice and encouragement. She is a very kind and knowledgeable person with a good sense of humor too. She even worked with us to finalize our sale while she was on vacation in Europe. Ours was a complicated sale and she handled it seamlessly. Youd be very lucky indeed to choose Maya as your realtor.

    I highly recommend Maya Arechiga as the Realtor to sell your home. She really offers full service. She helped us formulate a plan to get our Mom's home ready for sale. As we were out-of-town, she was able to get all the contractors we needed to clear out, spruce up and repair the home. The work got done in a very expedited fashion, and the house sold for a very good price!

    When my mother died, we soon realized that we would need to sell her home in El Cerrito and that there was a huge amount of work to do: emptying the house, including selling, donating and hauling and deciding what would be cost effective to do to fix up the house for sale. We were faced with finding contractors in an area we didnt live in anymore and many other issues. All this in an emotionally fraught time. I am so glad we called Maya Arechiga early in the process. We had intended to bring in a realtor at some point, but my sister-in-law suggested we get someones opinion on what to do in the house early on. Maya knew just what to do with the house considering our budget and got our approval for every expense. She knows so many people! She knew a wonderful estate-sale person who set up an estate sale for us (pro-tip: dont take stuff to Goodwill until after the estate sale) and has relationships with many contractors who have worked with her on previous projects. If she did not have a contractor that she knew for a specific job, she lined up several for us to meet and chose from. Though not a general contractor (she doesnt handle the money), she was with us every step of the way and helped us find solutions to every problem that came up. She is very professional and experienced aEUR" just what we needed. Ultimately our house sold for much more than we expected. There were several bids and the high bidder was a family that I'm sure will enjoy the house for many years to come. I recommend Maya highly, she is energetic, responsible and relatable.

    Maya Arechiga is an amazing realtor who exceeded our expectations in every way. Shes very organized, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, talented, and more! My husband and I used her to sell my late parents home. We live out of state in Pennsylvania and she made the process so much simpler than I wouldve ever imagined due to her always going above and beyond and proving her superior expertise and resources to us. We wouldnt have been able to do a lot of the renovations and preparations to sell the house without her. I cant say enough good things about her.
