Elena was the best seller agent that I have worked with by far! I am glad that I found her when I decided to sell my property in Fremont. She walked through the property with me in our first meeting, listened to my expectation, and offered me a few options on how to prepare the house for listing. We decided on the renovation plan in our first meeting and she took it and ran with it. She was a super women during the whole preparation process, managed the selection and scheduling of all types of subcontractors, helped me negotiated the costs, and delivered a beautiful home that I hesitated for a moment of keeping it for myself.
She is also masterful in picking the right time for listing to draw the most attention with minimal competition. The house was sold after one open-house weekend with multiple offers. She handled the negotiation with all the bidders and delivered the highest and strongest offer at the end.
I can't ask anything more than what Elena achieved in this process. Professional, honest, efficient!

Our Realtor, Elena Garcia, was absolutely amazing. Not only is she a knowledgeable and consummate professional, she was genuinely empathetic and helpful with our unique situation. With great sensitivity, Elena helped make the extremely stressful experience of selling our home into a more manageable process.

From a practical perspective, Elena had a very broad knowledge of the market in our specific neighborhood. This proved very essential in properly pricing and marketing our home. She also has a deep network of contractors, stagers, etc. which made getting our house ready to sell quite efficient.

We truly feel that we were very, very fortunate in finding her. Highly recommended!

Elena Garcia is probably the best Agent I have ever worked with. The 1st time my wife and I met with her and after our conversation, we immediately made a decision that she will the Agent for us. The most convincing part of this conversation, is she presented us with data that represents available home buyers population with specific home price range. With that data, our house listing price was decided. Using these data was arguably the best decision we have ever made. Our house was sold in three weeks.

And during the house preparation, the personalized dedication was beyond expectation, literally on top of it in every step. With that said, and base on our experienced we highly recommend her as your next realtor agent. You will not make a mistake.

Elena sold our long term home in record time. But that’s not all. She sold it for top dollar. She came to visit after I saw one of her listings on Coronado. She is such a warm and reachable person. She came in to our home and immediately I felt this lady could do an excellent job. We followed all her recommendations and she did everything to accommodate our needs even possibly beyond the standard requests. Now we have moved out of the Bay Area and she has continued to help us. Last month she helped us find a very nice realtor similar to herself. Good connections such as Elena are hard to find. I trust her to do the best thing at each turn.

When we decided to sell our home, we have spoken to multiple realtors and finally decided to work with Elena. This turned out to be a really amazing experience and eye-opening journey . When We first time talked to Elena, I realized that she has very deep understanding of the real estate market and help us to plan our sale. Unlike some other agents we spoken with at the same time who were pushing us put the home on market in low price as soon as possible, Elena suggested us to wait a few month based on her market insight and our convenience. After a brief talk, we were very happy with her professional skill, market insights and communication skill. Then we had the first in-person meeting, we were highly confident with her as our seller's agent. Few month later, when we started working on the home selling, Elena scheduled every thing perfectly and pushed the entire process moving forward smoothly and quickly. She scheduled and organized contractors, gardeners, inspectors and stagers and made our home looks very beautiful in only one week. We were completely impressed by the open house session Elena prepared for our property. It was so well organized with coffee and snacks and incredibly busy. We were also impressed by Elena's negotiation skill when we were accepting offers. Elena negotiated with potential buyers back and forth, got the best offer for us. Thanks to Elena's professional negotiation skill, we finally got an offer in a price we've never imagined.

It was very enjoyable to work with Elena, she's very professional, knowledgeable and patient. As a first-time seller, Elena explained everything to us clearly and gave us helpful suggestions. When Elena were planning the time frame for the sale, she was not only consider the market but also our convince. She's very nice, really easy to work with and really caring her clients.

The overall experience of working with Elena is amazing. I highly recommend Elena for anyone who is looking for a real estate agent, you will have a very professional and enjoyable experience that may exceed your expectations.

Realtor Elena Garcia was totally professional and prepared. She was very knowledgeable of the market and trends. She was backed by a great team of resources.

When we decided to put our home for sale, we spoke to multiple realtors; even though Elena was the last one we met, we chose her to represent our home on the very first meet. It was just an hour of discussion, however we understood that she is very knowledgeable in what she does. She knows the market very well and passionately gets into what is good for the best sale. She not only looked at the seller’s perspective but also brought in the dimension that addressed what was best for the buyers as well. She suggested few renovations to be made on our home (lawn, fresh painting, removal of popcorn ceiling, wooden flooring at the living room, etc.,) to multiply demand and ensure pleasant transaction for both the seller and the buyer. She got her contractors to do the jobs at competitive prices with utmost quality. She assured best sale and proved to keep her word! We had huge turn outs of prospects for the open house, even outside of hours and we shortlisted the offer on the 2nd day after the open house.

What is special about Elena is not just about her domain expertise or her great negotiation skills, but her commitment to say-do ratio. She is a wonderful orchestrator. She led her contractors to work in rhythm at the same time for speedy completion. She took all on her shoulders to ensure timely completion of these jobs at pristine quality by rigorous follow ups / inspection, to the point where we ended up listing a week prior to our plan! Elena is also hands-on; she has gone above and beyond to the extent that she will make multiple trips to buy things that are genuinely required for the home. She was always available and made sure to never miss a call or a text. She was proactive as well to keep us informed on the proceedings and never kept us in dark. It was a wonderful experience having Elena represent our home. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an ethical, transparent, and a committed realtor who will exceed your expectations.

I had already decided to sell my house but had been procrastinating until I received a letter in the mail. It was from Elena. I decided to give her a call and see what happened. As soon as we started talking, I felt very comfortable with her. We set up the initial meeting right away. Before our meeting I received a package from Elena with an introduction letter and a beautifully put together book detailing Intero Real Estate Services and a comprehensive plan to sell your home. I was so impressed with the classy packet and the professionalism it exuded. It not only impressed me, it made me feel like a special customer and I couldn’t wait to meet her.
As soon as we met, I felt very comfortable with her. She spent a good deal of time going over all the details. She took her time to answer any questions I had without making me feel rushed to finish our meeting. Even before our meeting was over, I had already decided that I was going to go with her. She impressed me with her knowledge, her professionalism, and the confidence in herself.
As soon as she knew we were going with her, she started working. She took a tour of my house and suggested what work she thinks we should do. She also, told me that it was entirely up to me if I wanted to get the work done or not. To be honest I started to feel overwhelmed and nervous about getting the work done. I also worried about how I was going to afford all that. She told me I didn’t need to worry about anything because she was going to handle everything. She said, all I needed to do was to pack my stuff. That made me feel so much better.
The next thing I knew, Elena had already reached out to all her contacts to get quotes for all the work that needed to be done. She did not waste any time. She told me I could shop around for quotes too and we will go with the best ones that work for me. She got me the best quotes and great workers that did a fantastic job. She made sure I didn’t have to pay any more than I could afford. I was so amazed with her ability to multi-task and to juggle everything around when scheduling all the contractors. I had to get painting, landscaping, new floors in the bedrooms, along with a stager who needed to be squeezed in between the contractors because the stager was going out of town that week. Elena worked her magic and made it all happen. That too at a really good price. She got my house ready to list in 1 week. Even my neighbor across the street was impressed at how fast Elena got everything done. She said, “I can tell, you have a really good agent, I am so impressed with her.” Elena had 3 other listings at the same time, and not once did she make me feel like I was not her utmost priority and an important client of hers. She was always available to me. Whether it be via phone call, text messaging, emailing, or meeting in person. I’m pretty sure she made all her other clients feel the same way because that’s who Elena is. My house was sold within a week. Elena worked tirelessly till the end to get me the best offer I could get. I didn’t even imagine I could get that much until she made it happen. I cannot tell you how happy I was. I kept telling all my friends and family about her and they all agreed that she was heaven sent. I have moved around quite a bit in my life and never have I ever worked with such a dedicated agent. She is just an all-around great human being who goes above and beyond to help others. There’s a quote right at the top of the introduction page in the Intero Real Estate Services book Elena sent me.
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.” I had heard and seen this quote many times before, but I had never felt the truth of it until I met Elena. She is a true example of this quote.
Elena became a good friend of mine who still helps me when ever I need. I would strongly recommend Elena to anyone who is looking for the best real estate agent around.
Thank you, Elena!!!

I got the flyer from Elena in my mail and contacted her. Since then it was all positive experience. When I decided to sell, I spoke with multiple agents including Redfin and Elena was by far the best one. This was the first time I was selling so wanted someone who would explain me each and every detail of the process, understand my goals and align with me on those. Be transparent, responsive and helpful in every aspect. Elena was definitely that person. Her first presentation was so impressive that me and my wife told her we will go with you. I had to do some work in my house (new lawns, painting etc) and she pulled her contacts to get me cheapest price (I got multiple quotes before talking with her contacts). She made sure I am not spending penny extra on things which doesn't really matter. She was always available. I don't remember even single instance when she didn't pickup my phone or didn't respond to my messages on time. She tried really hard to get us the best offer we could possibly get, and we are super happy with the offer. I already informed to my friends about her and would highly recommend her to anyone who is planning to sell. Have one meeting with her and you would know why I am so positive. This is not a fake review, I am happy to talk on phone if anyone wants more details or have any other questions.

Elena is an exceptional agent! She knows the market and is a straight shooter. Elena will go out of her way to ensure that you understand all the choices you are making. She has great resources whether you are looking to do a large remodel job or just spruce up your home a bit. Elena is also hands on and will assist with design including making trips to Home Depot or the like.
She has adapted to Covid, and mastered the new means of marketing.
Elena had our home on Google, Facebook and other medias beyond MLS. Within hours of being on the market, appointments were booked. We had realtors squeezing in between viewing times, just to get a peek inside. All of this was due to the efforts by Elena.
In addition, she is a master negotiator. By the time she phoned us with offers, she had checked all their financials and had each buyer at their top dollar offer.
Throughout the process she kept us informed and gave her honest opinion. Elena always had examples to support her perspective whether it be market comparisons, or virtual presentations. And most of all, she was a pleasure to work with!

I met Elena a few year ago when she was in my neighborhood. I really like her personality. She kept in touch every time she was in the neighborhood with flyers or important information. I knew when it was time to sell my home, I would choose Elena. I even have family members that are realtors, but my husband and I knew Elena was our choice.
She was there every step of the way, ie, shopping with me or for me, bringing in her stagers, painters etc…making sure everything was done right and in time. She communicates and goes above and beyond for her clients.
We were in our home for 38 years and she made the process smooth and stress-free, and the home sold fast! Elena is the best and I would recommend her to anyone. Not only was she my Realtor but she became my friend!

Elena Garcia with Intero was our Agent last year. She was extremely professional, she took so much time helping us preparing our house to sell for a great price. Everytime we encountered a problem she would be there and help us. She always found a solution. She was hands-on renovating and decorating the house, final touch-ups and promoting the house to sell at the first weekend of showing over asking price.
Not only was Elena a top notch Real Estate Agent, she also became a good friend. She went above and beyond her responsibilities and we highly recommend her.
Thank You Elena.
Cesar and Ingrid.

We highly recommend Elena Garcia for your Real Estate needs. When we decided to put our Fremont home up for sale we considered several realtors. Elena came to us with a solid marketing plan that not only consisted of traditional real estate sales venues such as print media and the MLS, but also utilized social media and internet resources which provided maximum state of the art exposure of our home to the market. She did a first class job of staging our home and was always available to answer questions and provide guidance.
The results were outstanding. We received seven offers within five days, all above our listing price. Elena provided us with a detailed breakdown of each offer which allowed us to select the most qualified buyer.

Throughout the process of selling our home Elena has been there for us. She has always been accessible and has guided us through the entire sales process; from listing the house through close of escrow. She is an expert and a professional. If you are looking for a real estate professional Elena who you should chose.

I just sold my house in Fremont using Elena Garcia as my realtor. I couldn't be happier with the process and the result. Elena told me when I engaged her services that she would be with me every step of the way. That was absolutely true. From hiring the best contractors (painting, flooring, staging) to walking me through the listing paperwork, Elena was with me every step of the way. Her marketing skills are spot on (I was listed as a "Hot Property" on one web site) and she has a great reputation for being professional, fair, honest, and hardworking. I highly recommend Elena.

As anyone who makes the decision to prepare for such a plan, it is always troublesome, especially when coming across various hurdles and challenging obstacles.

Elena did a great job with the sale of my house. She was very proactive in marketing my house and used the latest methods to do so. She had great photos taken by a professional as well as a video showing the entire house and the neighborhood. Moreover, Elena was very communicative and kept me apprised throughout the whole process. She did a great job of letting me know what to expect. She told me to expect a good turnout for the open house weekend, and she was correct. All weekend it was a non-stop stream of people coming to see the house, even outside of open house hours. I was able to choose which of the nine offers I received. I am utterly delighted with how she handled the entire process and have recommended her to family members. Overall, she did a wonderful job!
