"Bryan tackled all of the challenges with his professional calm wit which came from years of experience and with kindheartedness all along the way preparing for and getting through closing. I was out of town and he assisted beyond my expectations with being there as well as feeling as though he explained everything very well to me and covered all the bases. He and his team were committed and very hard working."

"My experience having Vickie help me sell our home was nothing short of outstanding. She's a complete professional in all aspects of real estate; from developing the sales strategy and getting our house ready to list, showing and managing offers, all the way through to closing. Vickie's 's knowledge of the local market proved instrumental in helping us decide how to price our home, how to prepare it for showings, when to list, etc. Coupled with her extensive contractor relationships (painters, plumbers, staging partner, landscapers) she was able to drive the maximum price for our home. Vickie is trustworthy, reliable, upbeat, and is a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her and RealSmart."

"We've been working with the RealSmart Team for years - both buying and selling - and will continue to work with them for all our real estate needs! Most recently, we worked with Vickie on the purchase of our new home in San Mateo. Vickie was incredibly easy to work with as our buyer's agent, and her decades of experience were evident in her shrewd negotiating skills, and attention to detail throughout the transaction. She is a great advocate for her clients and will go to bat for you every step of the way. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in the peninsula, we can't recommend Vickie and the RealSmart Team highly enough!"

"The RealSmart team were pros from end to end. They have an organized and methodical, yet also very thoughtful and personal approach to the process. Selling a home can be emotional and nerve-racking, but their team made it a very calm and smooth process, and sold our home in record time, for well over asking! We truly appreciated their genuine interest in making this a successful experience for us. Highly recommend!"

"I have nothing but great things to say about RealSmart Group. I’ve worked with Bryan, Camilo, Jillian and Denis. They all provide great value. They combine for years of experience, know how to find great deals, and very accurate on knowing a property’s worth. They are also very good with space planning and design recommendations. If your looking for a group that is good at commutation, marketing, negotiating, and has integrity, look no further. I would highly recommend giving them a shot to fulfill your real estate needs."

"Karen’s expertise and patience guided me in owning my home. At a time when second mortgages and tons of paperwork was a nightmare years ago. She’s a valuable resource for other financial and home owner vendor questions. More recently, Vicky navigated the purchase of my daughter’s condo. We saw several and she understood her needs and tastes. The sale went smoothly. RealSmart is a professional team!"

"Camilo was absolutely fantastic throughout our house hunting experience! As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns. Camilo treated us with patience, kindness, professionalism, and made us feel like a priority. We spent ~2 years searching for the perfect home that took us all over the bay area. Camilo made time to drive from city to city, often with a moments notice, collecting information, and providing valuable input about houses. We wholeheartedly believe that Camilo's established network and professional relationships were what ultimately led us to landing our dream home in Redwood City. We couldn't be happier!"

"Denis is absolutely amazing! We are forever grateful. Denis identified the perfect property for my parents from just a brief conversation. We weren’t really even looking but Denis thought of us when he saw this condo, called us and sold it in 1 showing! Denis and his team were by our side, helping us every step of the way. They are the best! Thank you!"
