Innovation meets Influence.
Before Silicon Valley was duly named, its history as the hotbed of innovation was well noted. Our catchy moniker reflects the giants of technology who line the corridors of Cupertino, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale, the wave of progressive firms that have shaped electronics, e-commerce and social interaction all call this place home.
In its truest form, innovation knows no boundaries. It isn’t contained by market or economic trends. Silicon Valley is where everyone gathers at the water cooler of progress, questioning why can’t things be better.
It’s from that fountain that the founders of Intero drank.
It was 2002. Silicon Valley was mired in the dot-com bust affecting all corners of the technology sector. As a result the local real estate market grinded to a halt. In true Silicon Valley spirit, that was the exact, perfect moment to launch a startup real estate brokerage.
Intero’s desire wasn’t to be like all other brokerages. Not only were we committed to providing our residents and neighbors a service that heralded the very nature of where we live, we owed it to our new neighbors, recruited from all over the world to come and work for many of the most creative, progressive companies on the planet.
Powered by an entirely new technology platform, backed by a solid investment, lead by a team of real estate veterans who were all born, raised and weaned right here in the Silicon Valley, Intero Real Estate Services was born.
While the dot-com bust remedied, in 2007, the real estate bubble burst and its subsequent effects on the market and economy we’re well documented. For us, this singled a moment in time to do what we do best - invest in our company and innovate further.
Over the past seven years, against the pressures of a challenging market, we continued to advance our training programs, update all of our technology, grow our brand into other markets and build a luxury division. The best is yet to come!

From buying to selling and every detail in between, Steven and his team hit the ground running. They had endless connections across every aspect of the process and always made us feel comfortable asking for help. From the very first meeting, Steven made clear that he and the Intero team operate with family values at their core and we felt that every step of the way.
We closed on our dream home thanks to Steven and the team, and shortly after, received an offer on our existing home in less than a week. Seamless from start to finish.
Thanks,
Kylee & Cameron

Kavya was amazing at helping us finding and purchasing our first home. Very committed and passionate about her work but also very knowledgeable when we had doubts and questions. The process was very smooth and seamless which gave us confidence on making the right decisions. We appreciate the effort through this journey and definitely recommend her 10/10.

Very professional, competent and friendly. He helped us throughout our first time home purchase and handled everything perfectly. His attention to detail saved us from quite a few pitfalls.

Vladimir did a wonderful job guiding me through buying my home. He knows all ins and outs, and little details about Real Estate market. He did all this without ever being pushy or putting my best interest in the back seat. I know this because I'm an experienced salesman myself. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Vladimir is a joy to work with. We were first-time buyers and were not aware of any parts of the process. Vladimir was able to walk us through everything from our very first bid to the closing. He was always doing extra steps such as property visits or getting some insights about competitive bids etc. I truly believe that without Vladimir we did not buy such a good property so fast or at least our spending would be much higher.

Buying a house felt intimidating until I met Vlad Sarser. He knows the market inside and out, kept the whole process stress-free, and somehow made everything feel easy. No pressure, no surprises—just great advice and solid results. If you're looking for a broker who genuinely has your back, Vlad's your guy!

Buying a home in San Francisco is no joke, but Vlad made it surprisingly smooth. He was easy to talk to, knew exactly what he was doing, and always kept us in the loop. It felt like having a knowledgeable friend on our side instead of just another real estate broker. Highly recommend!

Working with Vlad Sarser was a great experience. His knowledge, patience, and attention to detail made buying my Santa Cruz home easy and enjoyable. He guided me through every step, negotiated effectively, and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend him!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Vlad. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always had our back throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be stressful, but he made it feel smooth and enjoyable. Thanks , Vlad !

Buying a home can get a bit emotional, so having Vlad on my side made the process much smoother . He was always there when I needed him, easy to talk to, and never made me feel pressured. He really cared about getting me into the right home.

Vlad, I’m glad you asked me to leave a review for you and I will gladly do it because you are a superstar when it comes to handling my expectations when it comes to buying and selling our home. This isn’t our first rodeo and I’m glad we gave you a shot because you really want an extra mile to help us out so thanks so much! I will definitely recommend your services to all my buddies
MK
Vlad, it’s been a real pleasure working with you. I know selling my home would’ve been an issue if it was in the condition that it was, so having your designer to update my house was invaluable, that really helped with the sale. Will definitely recommend your services to my aunt.
ML
Vlad has been an asset to me in identifying promising rental properties here in the Bay Area. What stood out is that he doesn't just point you at listings; he brings real judgment about which properties are actually worth pursuing as investments. That’s critical in a market this competitive and expensive makes a real difference.
VR
Vlad made buying my new home a pleasant experience. His knowledge of the city, and expertise in real estate and financing were exceptional. He was always reachable, honest, and always had my best interests in mind. Highly recommend!

Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Jackson triangle, Hayward, CA.
Ryan was very knowledgeable with the houses that we were looking at. Once we found the house that we wanted (and got) he made the process very smooth and was available for any questions that we had. Closing on a house is stressful and Ryan was there every step of the way.

Working with Ingrid was one of the best decisions my family and I have made. She represented us in both selling our home and purchasing our new one, guiding us through a complex, fast-paced process with complete confidence and expertise. From day one, Ingrid demonstrated a profound commitment to our needs, handling every detail of both transactions seamlessly while keeping us informed, supported, and reassured at every turn.
What stands out most about Ingrid is her exceptional character. She operates with an unwavering level of integrity, honesty, and professional ethics that is truly rare. Ingrid is dependable when she makes a promise, she follows through, no matter how demanding the task. Her strong work ethic, calm demeanor under pressure, and genuine empathy make her a phenomenal agent.
Ingrid is the kind of professional who elevates any team or organization she joins. Her dedication to excellence, natural leadership, and high moral standards set a benchmark for those around her. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I am certain she will be an invaluable asset in her new role.

Ingrid was a great help as a realtor. As a first time homebuyer, I was very anxious and had many questions and Ingrid was able to answer all of them and always welcomed me asking questions throughout the time it took to find a house. I was worried about the house I would be able to get but Ingrid found a house that fit my wife and I and within our budget. She made me aware of every step that was going to happen and what the timelines would be so that I would not worry. She also went out of her way to show us houses that weren’t in the local area. With what we wanted in a house, there were very limited options, but Ingrid was able to find us a house that had just got on the market and in the original location we wanted.

I want to take a moment to say how grateful I am for my sister Ingrid and how much her kindness and support have meant to me. Ingrid is such a caring, generous, and dependable person. She has always been someone I can count on, and she truly showed that when I was moving into my house.
Moving can be stressful and overwhelming, but Ingrid was there to help me every step of the way. She gave her time, energy, and effort to make the whole experience easier for me. Whether it was carrying things, organizing, or simply being there when I needed help, she never hesitated to lend a hand.
What I appreciate most is that Ingrid helped because she genuinely cared. Her kindness made a difficult and exhausting day feel much easier. I am incredibly thankful to have a sister like her, and I will always remember how she helped me get settled into my new home.
