Description

Serving Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Helping my clients with their real estate needs. Experienced and seasoned short sale agent. Call me for exceptional real estate service and results!

About Us, About Me

About Me: Providing service where my clients need me. An eager proponent of technology as a major element in providing exceptional service for exceptional results. Dedicated to find the time and energy to pursue more technological advancements, while making room for personal connections like phone calls, notes, etc. For me, I like the high tech and high touch approach.

Worked as sales and marketing executive in the telecommunications industry for international firms including NEC and Sprint. At one time, managed as many as 100 sales managers, account executives, product managers and service representatives. Constant corporate reshuffling, mergers and acquisitions freed me to pursue my first love: real estate.

A strong background in marketing provides a solid foundation that helps me with my goal to exceed expectations.

Areas of interest and expertise

As the market changes, more property owners are facing the challenge of working on short sales and foreclosure. That's why I made sure I am prepared to help, by becoming a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), skilled in helping people navigate their way through the maze of a growing number of under water properties.

Love working with first time buyers. I feel honored to be part this period of their lives when they are making the biggest and possibly most important investment of their lives. It makes me feel good to contribute and provide resources to aid their education in real estate.

My first time buyers eventually move up...and when they do, I am always here to help.

Several of my clients are also investors in residential income properties ranging from duplexes to apartment complexes. Some of them have to institute a 1031 Exchange, and among those who are uncertain of how this is done, I provide as much information as they need, and in many cases, resources they can use during the exchange.

In my city, there is a growing number of seniors. Their needs vary from downsizing, establishing a trust, etc. I am a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) who can assist them in these matters.

Testimonials

Multiple escrows with certain clients

Selling and Buying was a breeze

Pacita served us on both ends of the deals. We sold our Sunnyvale home and bought a new one in Alameda using Pacita's service. On the buying end, she took us to every possible house that met our requirements although it took almost a year to find the right house.  Her assistance in the purchase enabled us to get the next house at the best price. On the selling end, Pacita's advice on how to fix the house for sale and stage it brought us top $$.

She is a top notch real estate agent, very pleasant to work with both on the sale and the purchase

Went away and came back

If you are looking for an excellent real estate agent who will work tirelessly on your behalf to sell your property or help you purchase a property in the Alameda area, then look no further than Pacita Dimacali. My wife and I have worked with Pacita twice over the last few years. She sold our home for ‘top dollar’ in a timely manner when we moved to Alabama in 2005.

And, when we moved back to Alameda she helped us purchase our current home in a trouble-free transaction and at a decent price. Pacita is clearly 100% dedicated to the well being and success of her clients and will work hard and spare no efforts to ensure success on their behalf. If my wife and I ever decide to sell our home - Pacita will be the first person we turn to.

Selling a house before buying my dream home

Pacita has been my agent on the purchase and/or sell of several homes throughout the bay area over the last 7 years.  She is incredibly responsive to my calls and requests to view properties.  She willingly makes herself available both before and after business hours to accommodate my busy work schedule.  She is friendly, personable, professional and highly skilled.  I have complete confidence in Pacita's professional opinions, her diligence to find stellar properties, her tenacity in timely closing escrow, and her commitment to ensuring the best deal for her clients!  I would not hesitate to recommend her to my closest friends and family!

I’ll definitely recommend you to everyone I know. I was running out of time with my 1031 exchange, and had to deal with family emergencies and a new job, too, You found the right property, helped me write the winning offer, hooked me up with a property manager, arranged the necessary inspections and repairs. What you’ve done exceeded my expectations. Thanks for looking out for me.

Moving back to the USA with one week to find a house

Pacita represented us on two occasions - for the purchase and sale of our home in Alameda. Both times she handled all aspects of the relocation seamlessly with the utmost integrity and with such prompt attention to detail that we knew we had nothing to worry about, even when selling our home in a down market. Moving to Alameda from out of the country, we needed someone we could trust to oversee the entire process from meeting with home inspectors to reviewing appraisal reports. If we ever have the opportunity to return to the Bay Area, Pacita will be the first one we call.

Selling a house that others couldn’t

Over the past twenty years of real estate development we knew many realtors. When we found Pacita six years ago she became our real estate professional of choice. She is convincing, articulate, and is fair to both parties. At times she represented us as sellers and the buyers at the same time; and gained the highest confidence from both. This balance makes her stand out among all that we knew.

BUYERS

High tech buyers received high touch service

I had always been skeptical about using a Realtor to help find a house -- but with Pacita I didn't question that for a single moment. She is an encyclopedia of real estate knowledge, her network and knowledge of the market in the East Bay is unparalleled, her honestly and professionalism are top-notch and, on top of it all, she's just really, really personable. She made what can always be a frustrating, challenging and stressful process into the most pleasant experience it could have possibly been.

Afonso Infante, San Francisco and Alameda CA\

Pacita is an amazing realtor. The first house she showed us was the one, but because we were first time buyers she showed us all of our options so we knew we were making the right decision. Pacita walked us through the whole process, coaching us and giving us great advice through the whole process. Pacita treated us like family, and even showed us around the city that would soon be our home, so we felt at home immediately. She is amazing and I would highly recommend Pacita!

Alison Wong, San Francisco and Alameda CA

 Exceptional Service a year later.

I have been very much impressed with your excellent service and professionalism.

(One year later, after additional service to this client) ...I am greatly impressed again.

Myeong Hee Kim, Piedmont CA

Constantly traveling out of town buyers

Pacita did an outstanding job assisting my husband and me in finding a lakefront condo in Oakland. She found just what we needed and we were able to close the transaction quickly despite our very busy traveling schedule. She is extremely committed and goes beyond the call of duty, very responsive, and is fun to work with. Knows the Bay Area really well, detail oriented and has tons of contacts. I highly recommend Pacita!

Pacita specializes in personalized service and understanding the needs of both the buyer and the seller. Pacita saved me more than $50,000 using nothing more than her know how and business savvy. I highly recommend Pacita.

 Robert and Hee Jong Matz, Alameda CA

Full basement expanded as in-law unit

I have nothing but good things to say about Pacita. She was our realtor in 2006 and she really made a positive contribution to the process. Her knowledge of the Alameda area is outstanding and she was a tireless advocate of ours during the negotiation process. If you want a low-pressure/high-energy realtor on your side, then I must, without reservation, recommend Pacita.

Glowing commendation from a real estate broker

Pacita really impressed my referrals, Dorothy and Ed. When it came time for them to get out of their boat where they had lived for a long while and buy a house, you can imagine the uncertainties they may have had in looking to undergo such a change. I needed to refer Dorothy and Ed, and found Pacita on REALTOR.com, and hoped for the best. They called to thank me and to rave about the great treatment from Pacita who treated them with great professionalism and care. It is very refreshing to know that there are great REALTORS out there doing outstanding work. Pacita is one of them.

Jeff Pereyda—Broker, Fremont CA

Helpful peer

Pacita's deep dedication to her customers and trade put her head and shoulders above the competition. When I was a new agent she took the time to help me and guide me. This was not necessary on her part and actually took time away from her business. This is just one of many examples of her selfless dedication to helping others. I highly recommend Pacita Dimacali.

Scott Taylor, Alameda CA

 Endorsement from Broker

Pacita has proven to be a consistent top Realtor with Gallagher & Lindsey, Inc REALTORS. Her past experience in marketing and negotiating give her a definite edge. Probably most important to me as her broker is her positive attitude and ability to make any situation into a success for her clients.  We are fortunate to have Pacita as one of our Realtors and she is well-respected amongst her peers throughout the Bay Area Real Estate community.

Michael Studebaker – Broker, Alameda CA

Other Professionals
