It was indeed a pleasure working with Lanette and rest of team for Buy Before Sell program. Entire team was hardworking, punctual, and have great knowledge about market. We had a complicated deal but they were there in all the steps and guided us. I will definitely recommend Reali team for all real estate needs
Great Service for Tech Engineers
We used Reali for the Buy Before You Sell program, and engaged them for purchasing a new home and selling our old home. Our agent was Nick Yang, and he did an excellent job of helping us find a great place to live, and sold our old home quickly. The rest of the Reali team also provided strong support, with a one-stop shop for finance, staging, and document coordination.
We had a great experience working with Reali.com and our real estate professional, Sherie Corsello. We used Reali's "home trade-in program", which allowed us to put in a competitive, all-cash (and winning) offer on our new home; allowing us to move in to our new home almost immediately and then sell our old home. Reali provided expert consultation and managed all the key steps from start to finish through the entire selling and buying processes.
We went through the Trade in program with Reali, and overall were very happy with the process barring a few exceptions that I am going to talk about later. But first the good stuff. We worked with Lanette Sukkar as our agent, and Scott as our showing agent. Both of them, phenomenal. Lanette listened to all of our needs and parameters, was really data-driven in her recommendations to us, during buying as well as selling. Scott bonded with us at a personal level, including with our 3 yr old who still remembers him after a few months. We ended up buying a home of our dreams and selling our last place at a great price. On the transaction front, special shout out to Erik L for being diligent with T1-T3 and making sure there are no missteps. Our Bank of America loan fell through while we trying to line up T3 and Erik helped me connect with Chase and secure a loan quickly with no change in timeline. Reali's system is truly on top of it! Yes the fees can add up to be a bit but the alternative is to get a bridge loan or try to sell while you live somewhere, or make a contingent offer. All of those being choices with significant disadvantages.
Now the only bad thing. It was our interactions with our original agent Sherie. It eventually got so bad that we had to end things with her and get in touch with Reali about finding a new agent - thank god for Lanette. In a nutshell, the biggest problem with Sherie's approach to home buying was her lack of data-driven skills. She would usually just look at the price of a home, add about 300-400k and recommend that offer price to us. Which could be true in some cases, but heavily varies based on how the seller has priced the home. We had to go through a lot of work ourselves to generate comps and try to determine a fair offer price. But then being able to talk about that with Sherie would be like pulling teeth as she would absolutely not listen, or keep mentioning the number she came up with. Eventually it got to a place where we felt like for our sanity and hers we should go our separate ways. That said, Reali was good about asking us for feedback, unclear what they did with it, but that's not our business anyway.
So overall a fun and successful experience aside from the glitch with the first agent, which sometimes happens.
Daniel was able to negotiate for my new home within my budget with the seller and explained and guided me thru the offer selection process so I was able to buy low and sell high with my both old and new property with as little time as possible. Also he was so tentative, he has patient to answer my questions and send me to the right person to take care my needs, from getting a loan to getting a warranty for my new home.
We used Reali’s Buy Before You Sell program. Good thing we did because the house we purchased had 2 other cash offers! Lanette Sukkar, our agent, did an amazing job getting our offer accepted and then our condo to market and sold quickly. It’s amazing how many people are working on your behalf. Shout out to the staging team who truly increased the value of our home, Matt Vera for stepping in to help, and finding the buyer for our condo, and Adam Schmidt our loan officer who went above and beyond. He was extremely responsive during the whole process and so patient with me even though I asked so many questions. The whole team was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Reali.
Donny is a super agent! We reached out to him to sell our house and he got it listed within no time. He was very efficient, always reachable, ready to answer questions that we had at all times. He got use the best offer, well over asking price. We are super happy to have worked with him! Will alway recommend him.
We were referred to Sherie Corsello of Reali after another friend used her to sell their home. From the start for us, Sherie was extremely on top of things, knowledgable, professional, and always quick to respond. She moved quickly to get our house scheduled for cleaning, staging, photography, videography and then listed. Through the entire process she was easy to communicate with and helped us make the right decisions to get the price we wanted and a quick close. We are happy we worked with her and recommend her. We also were very happy with the staging team at Reali for our property.
We used the Trade-in program for upgrading our home. Reali (specially Matt Vera) made it a very stress free process for us. We were able to get a new house/ win an offer in the crazy Bay Area market and also sell our home with a good price pretty quickly. With a toddler to be able to just move once really helped us a lot.
Overall great experience with the Tradein program.
We bought and sold a house through the Reali trade in program. Overall it was an OK experience. We were able to sell above asking and buy our dream house with their help. However there were some bumps with an external mortgage application, which made us pay rent for a longer period. The Reali rental fees were disclosed up front and were quite high. There was also less guidance from Reali for the T3 transaction, I had to keep pinging people to get things going.
I am writing to tell you what an absolute pleasure that it has been working with Realtor Tascha Gomez at Reali. First some back story: I was originally viewing home with a realtor from Zillow who was dishonest, changing his story constantly and just saying whatever he thought that I wanted to hear. He also was not a good listener because I was giving feedback on what we were looking for and he didn’t remember anything I said. Lastly he was wildly unmotivated, he literally told us that in this housing market realtors don’t even have to work and that money just falls into their lap. So we stopped viewing homes for a few weeks and when the discouragement wore off I went searching for someone else to work with. I remembered seeing Tascha’s Facebook posts about homes and contacted her, and I’m so glad that I did!! I could immediately see that Tascha is incredibly motivated and her work ethic is insane. She was available anytime that we needed her every step of the way, and this was particularly impressive because she usually works in the Lincoln and Sacramento area and I live in Fairfield (just over an hour away). She has an expansive network of people at her disposal to answer any and all questions, from a banker who she referred us to because ours turned out to be unreliable and slow, to the plumbing and air conditioning guy that she had call us within the hour to answer some questions that we had about the house we were selling. She listened to every detail that I went over about my wishlist for my new home, and at my request was brutally honest with me and I with her so that we stayed on the straight and narrow. It was a crazy couple of months between trying to sell my house, going back and forth repeatedly trying to buy one house that had a Scrooge of a realtor and didn’t work out, and then finding my forever home where I am currently relaxing, watching my kids play in my new amazing back yard and pool. This process of buying and selling homes is already a stressful one, that comes with the territory…but I would not have survived it without Tascha there to advise me every step of the way, or without the great referrals that she provided me with. I am so grateful to Tascha and to Reali, and will absolutely recommend to everyone I know in the future!!
Kathy was one of the nices people I have ever met. Seriously she is awesome. Every weekend she drove around 100+ miles one way to see houses with us. She was honest and real about the houses we saw. She didn't try to sell us on anything. Rather she tried and succeeded in helping us find want we were looking for. The next house we buy, we will be talking to her.
She is not longer our real-estate agent, she is our friend. I could say she is family.
Donny helped us sell our condo and upgrade to a single family house in the competitive SF Bay area. He is highly responsive and understands the needs of the client from both the buy and sell side of the transaction. He also helped to guide us through unexpected bumps along the process for both transactions. We specifically appreciated his approach of letting us take the lead on the new home selection and offer process. I would recommend him for friends and family, especially as he continues to acquire more location-specific experience over time.
We are so grateful to have had Daniel as our agent to sell our home! We were first-time home sellers, and as hectic as we felt the process was, Daniel was there every step of the way.
Daniel was extremely thorough and knowledgeable from the very start of the process until the end.
The best thing we like most about Daniel is that when we thought things during the process were taking a turn, getting out of control, or weren't going right; he would always bring a sense of calm and assurance that things would work out in the end and took it one step at a time. And it all worked out!
Thank you so much, Daniel, for all the hard work and dedication you put in to help us get over the hump!
Reali and our agent Michelle helped our family make a dream come true. Without this type of company, we would not have been able to both buy and sell simultaneously. Our agent, guided us on how to get the home we wanted and also took care of selling our old property. I really though it was too go to be true, but here we are in our new place enjoying the upgrade. Every step throughout the process was actually easy because of the company’s ability to buy with cash as well as Michelle’s insight, professionalism, and expertise.
In this market I would have not been able to upgrade our family’s home without Reali. I actually didn’t think it was possible without a company like this. However, they made three events happen almost simultaneously: Buy (my new home), Sell (my old home) and Help me purchase my home (which they previously bought for me) The process was fast, convenient, and everything worked out in our favor.
When it comes to sell/buy house, Market trend, timing, preparation and luck should be followed to win the game, however they may not be achievable by individual efforts. However. I can confidently mention that I am lucky to work with Ron & Reali team since it was very smooth process from the beginning until closing. Ron is very professional realtor and knowledgeable about the markets. His experience and recommendation has become my assets in the real estate market and we have achieved beyond our expectation at the end.
Also, Reali team has been responded any requests or questions in very quick time manner so that I am able to focus my regular daily life. Great team works and well communicated via app, email, and text message. As a seller, 2% fee including deep cleaning, staging, and photographs are very competitive compared to other companies and no hidden fee. I highly recommended to work with Reali and look forward working with them again.
We used the trade-in program from Reali to ease up the complexities of buying a house in COVID times. Lanette was instrumental to get our house. After helping us visiting several houses and making offers for two homes, we got what we wanted and they were also quick to sell our old one.
Thank you Lanette and Reali team for all the help.
Our experience with Kathy Bradford at Reali was excellent. Kathy and her team helped us prepare our old home in Los Angeles for sale and sell it in a short time. She was available morning, noon and night to answer our questions and concerns as we worked through the process. At the end of all of this Kathy has become a dear friend to our family.
Reali helped us locate and purchase our new home in San Diego using the Reali trade-in process. We also had good experiences with Reali's Roger Cummings who showed us numerous homes in San Diego, including the home we now own. In working through the mountain of documents required to complete the Reali trade in program Adam Schmidt and Justin Richards were available when needed. Their assistance allowed us to close the purchase in a very short time.
We recently sold our house in Dublin,CA this month and the whole process from start to finish was seamless and well planned. Sherie and her team have great attention to detail, very responsive and were flexible throughout the process. Super happy with the service and will definitely use Reali again and also recommend this to anyone looking to sell.
