About
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!

Being a mortgage professional I obviously have a lot of Realtor relationships. Victoria is definitely someone I would recommend. She is always bubbly, energetic and constantly working to refine her skills and knowledge. You can't go wrong working with Victoria!

If you're looking for someone who is educated, patient, kind, loving, respectful, diligent, & consistent, then you're looking for Victoria (Vika) Kafovalu! My husband and I had been thinking about buying a home for almost 3 years, but we were skeptical about who to work with, who to trust, or who to take advice from. We had no idea where to start, but we knew we had to start somewhere. In 2019 after our first child was born, we started to pay debt off and get ourselves in a better financial place. We found out we were expecting our second child in 2020, and our second babygirl was born Sept. 2021. Living with family is always so convenient but when it comes to the future of our babies, we had to move quickly with our plan to buy a home. I came across an advertisement about an open house that Victoria was hosting and had a ton of questions to ask her about how we should get the ball rolling. We talked for hours about some potential next steps, and the rest is history. One conversation with her lead into networking with a loan officer, Celia with TCS mortgage, and after my husband and I were pre-approved, our home shopping followed. It was overwhelming, it was intense, and it was a lot of work carrying around two kids in about 100 degree weather walking through such beautiful 2 story homes.

Victoria brought a cooler of iced cold water, and cereal bars for the journey, which we appreciated so much because we were not prepared for this heat. We visited 10 homes with her on our first home shopping visit, and the second time we visited 3 homes.

Our second home shopping with her was IT for us. The house we purchased was the last house we visited the second time around. A fresh 2022 brand new home in a wonderful gated community; a 2 story, 4 bedroom, 3 full bathrooms, large garage and backyard; the perfect home to raise our beautiful babygirls in.

Victoria may have been new to the real estate industry, but she was not new when it came to serving others. She was not new at showing hospitality when it came to taking care of the needs of her clients. I recommend her to anyone who would like to rest at night knowing that they're in the perfect set of hands.

Victoria you're a blessing, you're a God-sent, and I know exactly why we could not purchase a home 2-3 years ago. God knew exactly what he was doing when he had us wait on him. We waited to work with one of the best realtors out here in the game. May God continue to bless you and your family! You are appreciated! Love, Jonathan, Lina, Thea-Lynn, & Maria-Rose Kaulave.

I had the pleasure of working with Sunny Ghuman on the purchase of my new home in Keyes, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Sunny demonstrated outstanding professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a genuine commitment to making the process smooth and successful. What stood out most were Sunny’s sharp negotiation skills and incredible responsiveness. He was always quick to answer questions, provide updates, and make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. His active communication and complete transparency made the experience not only stress-free but actually enjoyable.
If you're looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond, keeps your best interests at heart, and delivers results with integrity, I highly recommend Sunny Ghuman. He made what can be a complicated process feel seamless and rewarding.

Michelle stepped in seamlessly to help us close on our home while Margaret was out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for better support. She was incredibly helpful, always available when we needed her, and genuinely took care of us throughout the final steps. We really appreciated her dedication and follow-through.

Margaret was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very patient throughout the process, always took the time to explain everything clearly, and communicated promptly. Her negotiation skills helped us get a great deal, and her friendly attitude made the entire experience much smoother.
Jonas F. Kurniawan recommends Margaret Lin
First Time Homebuyer May 8, 2025
I feel incredibly lucky to have met Margaret—our introduction was purely by chance. At a gathering, I saw my middle school friend chatting with her, and he called me over to introduce us. As fate would have it, I had just started thinking about buying a home before my lease ended in the summer.

Two weeks later, Margaret and I began touring listings. She even took me out to dinner for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful gesture! Over the next couple of months, she helped my wife and me search for a home that met both of our preferences. It wasn’t easy—we had different ideas about what we wanted—but Margaret was incredibly patient and supportive throughout.

At the end of March, we finally found a place we both loved. That’s when Margaret really shined. She handled countless rounds of back-and-forth negotiations with the seller’s agent regarding major issues like the aging roof and termite damage. She didn’t just push for quick fixes—she carefully strategized and even advised that we request a price reduction instead of having the seller pay for repairs. Her reasoning? It would lower my tax burden on the sale and save on interest payments in the long run—something I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.

Throughout the entire process, Margaret was a rock. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She was incredibly responsive, whether by call, text, or email, and always took the time to explain every detail thoroughly. As someone who asks a ton of questions, I really appreciated her patience and depth of knowledge.

We closed on our new home at the beginning of May, and I couldn’t be happier. Margaret is not only kind and thoughtful—she’s a highly skilled professional and a savvy negotiator. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Jonas F. Kurniawan recommends Michelle Lin
First Time Homebuyer May 8, 2025
I’m so thankful to have met Michelle through my realtor, Margaret. As we neared the end of our first-time homebuying journey, Margaret was away on a pilgrimage, and Michelle stepped in to support us through the final stretch.

Michelle quickly got up to speed on all the details of our process and was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind. She offered thoughtful input, stayed in close communication, and made sure everything stayed on track. She accompanied me for the deed signing, final walkthrough, and on closing day—and even surprised me with a “welcome home” basket to celebrate!

Michelle was a calm and reassuring presence during a busy and sometimes overwhelming time. I really appreciated her professionalism and warmth. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us cross the finish line!

At the end of March, we finally found a place we both loved. Margaret walked us through the offer process and guided me through what felt like a million unfamiliar steps. Home buying can be grueling, but she made it feel manageable and even enjoyable. She was always responsive—whether by phone, text, or email—and made sure we were never left wondering about anything.

As someone who asks a lot of questions and can be pretty particular, I truly appreciated Margaret’s ability to explain, negotiate, and advocate for what we wanted. We closed on our new home at the beginning of May, and I couldn't be happier. Margaret is professional, warm, detail-oriented, and simply excellent at what she does. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Working with Sakshi was truly one of the highlights of my career. She has an incredible way of making people feel heard, supported, and valued - qualities are so rare and important. She brings not only skills and professionalism to everything she does, but a genuine care for the people she works with. I have no doubt she'll make buying or selling process easier for her clients. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their side!

Uday Babbar recommends Sakshi Rajput
Client Apr 28, 2025
I wish I could give 7 stars but yelp only permits me to give 5 stars. Sakshi Rajput is an immensely talented and helpful leasing consultant. We were anxious about the whole process but her personality and process of showing us around made us really comfortable. The amazing thing was that she's actually empathetic towards the concerns a tenant has and is not dispensing her duties in a perfunctory, pretentious sort of a way. We had made a list of things that we wanted to check/ be sure of while scouting for the apartment and unfortunately we had forgotten it at home. Now, I don't know whether it was coincidence or her proficiency in understanding the psyche of prospective tenants, she actually proactively covered all! Yes, all of the specific things we had listed.

Juan was thorough and transparent throughout our home buying process. He answered all our phone calls, texts, and e-mails promptly. Kept us informed and up to date on any developments. He was very thorough on going over any documents we needed assistance with. Overall he made us feel comfortable and like family. I highly recommend Juan and his team for your real estate needs.

Diana Bergano recommends Rosemary Vaccaro-Dutra
Apr 15, 2025
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rosemary on three separate property deals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. She is a truly remarkable professional who knows the market inside and out and brings a high level of integrity, experience, and professionalism to everything she does.

One of the things I value most about her is how much I can trust her. I’ve felt completely comfortable delegating important tasks to her, knowing she always has my best interests at heart. She commits fully to the process and consistently overdelivers—whether it’s guiding you through legal documents, helping coordinate repairs, negotiating pricing, or coming up with creative solutions for property repairs.

She’s not just a realtor—she’s a partner you can rely on from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in your success, I can’t recommend Rosemary highly enough.

Cara is by far the most caring,intelligent, giving mentor and manager that a real estate agent would wish to work with. I feel so fortunate to work with Intero and Cara. Who you work with truly matters! Give her a call for sure if you are thinking 🤔 of changing brokers or just beginning your real estate career!
