Keep Calm, and let me help you buy a home
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I am selling a lifestyle. I cannot believe 8 years had passed since I was fortunate enough to help a client and a friend relocating to the Bay Area.
 
 
“I find myself erasing and revising repeatedly to get it just right-in the same way Elisa gets real estate...just right. Elisa was beyond professional with uncanny attention to detail. She is experienced, assertive-not pushy, a good listener and in the end knew when she had found the perfect home for us. Months after the … (0 comments)

Client trust takes years to build
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I am building trust before we ever get to the sale. The more a client shares with me, the more I can tailor the process to what will work for them. This was a success story indeed!
 
 
"I had a very bad experience with the first agent i had chosen to help me sell my home. He was a friend of a friend but was not from the Oakland Area. So he was not able to come up with a good price for my small one bedroom … (3 comments)

Patiently waiting for the right time to Buy a home.
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I sometimes help people buy a home that years later they sell. Families grow and hopefully so does their net worth!
 
 
“I met Elisa at an open house. At the time, I was just thinking about buying - but she got me in touch with a great loan guy who helped me figure how much I could afford. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea how important real estate agents were - so I was lucky enough to stumble upon … (0 comments)

Realtor Shout out- In life, always keep learning
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I help people who are looking to buy a home too. I am a firm believer in learning in layers. If you have never bought a home, or this is one of many, I am happy to help.
 
 
“Elisa Uribe has demonstrated thoughtful and practical guidance throughout the process of my property purchase. I have had no prior experience working with a real estate agent, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the anticipated outcome this week of closing weeks ahead of the projected closing. … (0 comments)

Realtor shout out- Keeping communication open is key
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I help buyers find homes too. My website www.searchalleastbayhomes.com is a great website for my client and I to keep communication open and easy without it taking too much time out of their day. If they save a home, I get notified on my phone, and tour the property in advance.
 
I love my job and I love my clients. If you are at a point in your life where you are looking to cash out and change your life, I hope you give me … (0 comments)

Client for Life - Realtor Shout out
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I was fortunate enough to help these clients buy and sell homes more than once.
 
 
“We met Elisa at an open house in our neighborhood and instantly connected with her. She was easy to talk to and offered us helpful resources and information about the home buying process. When we decided to work with her, she took a lot of care to learn about us and what we wanted in a home. Once we found out we were under contract, Elisa lined up all the inspections, … (1 comments)

Realtor shout out- Face the past, and get ready for the future.
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, what happens when someone decided to move is life altering. You have to face the past, and get ready for the future. When multi family members are involved, it is always easy. Luckily, my clients were close and supportive of one another.
 
 
“We were referred to a local real estate office by a good friend. Elisa Uribe was the agent assigned to us. We called, set up an appointment and met her at our home a week later. We immediately liked … (4 comments)

Preparation is the key to success to homeownership
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, the “behind the scenes” always has a lot of moving parts. Especially when the clients live out of town. I love this testimonial from my client. Having the time to clean up any paperwork from the city records, or title company in advance can save a lot of headaches in the future.
 
 
“Elisa – is the go to Realtor for us. We called the office where she worked and right away knew Elisa was the perfect Realtor for us. She worked tirelessly to assist us … (0 comments)

“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with me. She was incredibly supportive, kind, and patient with my questions.
As a VA home buyer, I had a little idea of the process, but Elisa walked me through the process and made it feel easy.
She worked well with the lender and escrow to make sure everything went smoothly.
She was truly dedicated in representing me, and I always felt she was … (1 comments)

We wear many hats as Realtors
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I wear many hats. Years back, part of my services were Property Management and I never had an unhappy tenant. My clients and I were diligent about keeping up with the properties and of course, that always helps.
 
 
“Let's start by saying A+! When it was determined that I should hire a residential property manager in Oakland, I must admit I was rather apprehensive about the prospect of hiring the right person for my needs.
I'm fair, honest and loyal and was looking for the same.
From the get … (2 comments)

Your dream home, one step at a time
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I help people buy and sell homes. I was fortunate enough to help client move from being renters of a property, to homeowners of the home they grew to love. We had to move so fast to make it work for everyone involved, but we made it happen. It was definitely a good fit for them since it’s been three years and they are still there, personalizing the home and making it theirs.

Moving on, accepting changes, and looking forward
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, moving out of a home that holds so many memories is not always easy. Looking forward to what the move will mean to you in the end is always helpful. This client’s son had graduated from college and it was finally time for her to do something for herself. We just spoke the other day and she couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t be happier for her! She staged her own home to save on the marketing preparation, and since her furniture was so well taken … (0 comments)

Work is done when your client is smiling
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, in some cases, those houses become a client’s retirement plan.
 
 
“I worked with Elisa for the past 6 months on several properties, her local knowledge very impressive, she is always online to respond to emails and text. Elisa took the time to know me and my family very well and understand our needs, more important she has my best interest at heart, when we were going around showing me properties, immediately she let me know the ones will not be of a good fit. … (3 comments)

Looking back, you can see how far you have come in Business
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, I am selling a lifestyle. The longer you are in the business, the more you can look back fondly on how many lives you have touched. It’s not uncommon for me to introduce a lender or another vendor to a client, streamlining the process for them. Buying a home does not have to be a full time job.

Relationships are built on trust- Realtor Shout out
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but it is also about relationships. Sometimes those relationships are built by years of tiny moments, until the day comes when my clients really need me on a different level.
 
 
“Back in 2009, I had a tough time renting my wonderful little house on my own. I found Elisa based on a recommendation from the real estate office where she worked. She wasted no time getting me a top quality renter who ended up renting the home for 6 years without a problem. When it was time to … (4 comments)

Some people think I am selling houses, and it’s true! However, I have to say, it is easy to sell someone a home, when it fits their criteria of space, and budget.

When you work together,chaos can be controlled and never reach a peak.
 
Some people think I am selling houses, and I am, along with helping people navigate what has been said is one of the most stressful times in one’s life. I have been fortunate enough to have a good relationship with clients, one that lets them tell me their concerns before they become issues. This client I had known for a number of years since I helped manage his property. When it was time for the renters to move, we helped them find a place to live, and waited … (3 comments)

Buying Real Estate is about your future,an investment,and a lifestyle.
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, but in reality, buying real estate is about your future, an investment, and a lifestyle. This client I knew socially for a number of years and he decided to leave San Francisco to buy his first condo, and to relocate to the hip and happening city of Oakland CA.
He was a pleasure to work with and really liked the numbers so we dug deep and talked stats, market reports, and he did his homework interviewing lenders until he found one who could not only offer … (3 comments)

Being a Realtor is about big shifts in someone’s life
 
 
Some people think I am selling houses, and sure that is the why behind it when we meet but as you can see from my clients testimonial below, being a Realtor is about big shifts in someone’s life. 2 years ago, we met online, and the day we met in person, we mutually could tell we were a good fit and before I left, the decision was made, her house was going on the market and the behind the scenes prep work started the next day. I was so impressed with her … (2 comments)

Selling homes is about relationships
 
Selling homes is about relationships. If you have not established trust, everyone involved with be stressed out during the transaction. About a year ago, this couple interviewed three agents, and signed the listing agreement the day we met.
 
 
My client said: “My spouse and I found Elisa to be extremely prepared and organized from the first meeting. We both felt comfortable putting the sale of our first home into her hands. She was quite practical and strategic when recommending improvements prior to going to market. She was patient with educating us on the entire process, and we are … (1 comments)
