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 things can’t 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, led 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 were well documented. For us, this signaled 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 sub brand.
We did all this because this is who we are.
In 2014,

Buying my home was a wonderful experience. Ana was there for us every step of the way — from the very first day until the day we closed. Her dedication, support, and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
I chose Ana because she came highly recommended by Jocy and Victor, who spoke so highly of her work. Now, after going through the process myself, I can see exactly why! She truly goes above and beyond for her clients.
I would absolutely recommend her to my friends and family — she’s an excellent REALTOR® who genuinely cares about her clients.

Working with Maricruz was an absolute pleasure. She is very knowledgeable and detail oriented. There was never a time where I felt uncertain or left in the dark about anything pertaining to the purchase of my home. She was always a call, a text or an email away and as a first time home buyer that provides a lot of ease. The purchase of my home was possible thanks to her negotiating skills. On our behalf she was able to secure an amazing deal with the bank. My family and I will always be grateful for that. Thank you Maricruz for your hard work and all your help!

Our buying experience with Ms. Pia was fantastic. She’s very responsive and assisted us answering all of our questions and concerns… and the greatest thing about her, she’s very approachable…She’s that someone that is very easy to talk to!
I think most would agree that connecting with others easily is a great thing.
If 100 stars is an option here, I’d still give her endless stars!
Thanks Ms. Pia! We’ll see you again!

“Karolyn did an excellent job with helping us navigate through the very complicated process of selling a home. She was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and how to market to the public. We appreciated all of her great work in making this sale such a success. We recommend Karolyn Bose for all of your real estate needs.”

Amazing was so easy to work with. She has a calm sense about her which really helps during the home buying process. She is very knowledgeable and up to date with all the ins and outs with real estate. She was able to negotiate an amazing deal with a seller who was very resistant. I would work with Amy again and again and recommend her to everyone I know looking to buy or sell.

Karolyn was immensely helpful during the process of selling our home. She provided excellent advice on what repairs and remodeling needed to be done, took the lead in organizing the various contractors in order to get the work done correctly and as quickly as possible, and advertised our home professionally and effectively. I firmly believe that we maximized our selling price by following her advice.

Outstanding Realtor – Highly Recommended!
I had the privilege of working with Amy during the purchase of my new home in Alameda, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the very beginning, Amy demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the local market, offering in-depth insights and expert guidance at every stage of the process.
Amy patiently took the time to show me a wide range of properties, ensuring I felt confident and well-informed in making the right decision. A real bonus is that Amy was such a pleasure to spend time with! When it came time to make an offer, her strategic advice and keen negotiating skills truly shone through. I was so impressed! Thanks to her persistence and expertise, I was able to secure the home I wanted at a price below the asking value—an outcome I couldn’t have achieved without her.
What sets Amy apart is not just her market knowledge and negotiation prowess, but her unwavering commitment to her clients. She was always available, whether it was answering my questions, offering sound advice, or ensuring that every step—showings, inspections, final walkthroughs—went off without a hitch.
If you’re looking to buy a home, I can’t recommend Amy enough. Her professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail make her one of the best in the business. You’ll be in expert hands from start to finish.

When my wife and I began browsing homes in our area, we thought it was just a dream. Being first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing, or anything about the process, so we figured there was just no way to make what we wanted work. Along came Amy, who quickly showed us that our dream could become a reality! She was so wonderful to work with, as she guided us through the whole process, teaching us new things every step of the way. Throughout the whole process, Amy went the extra mile, whether that was personally driving us around to different showings, to connecting us with a wonderful lender that was able to make some magic out of our financial situation. I strongly believe that it was due to Amy's excellent service that we were able to have our offer accepted for a beautiful condo in San Francisco, something only a few months prior we thought was not possible. I cannot recommend Amy enough, and I know that anyone who chooses to work with her will be in the best of hands.

Amy was an AMAZING agent to work with! Not only was she professional and kind, she’s also funny and will give you an honest answer if you need one. My husband and I were first time home buyers just browsing at options late June- thinking we wouldn’t be able to get anything now and we’ll just wait a year or so but Amy and her team managed to put some pieces together and BAM! We were delighted to have received a condo we LOVE to a T. We went from laughing about getting this place to work out for my birthday but that joke turned into a REALITY and could not be more thankful and appreciative of the hard work that everyone put in to make our dream home OURS!! Alta plaza park and Fillmore street are HUGE bonuses too. We’re so happy and pleased with everyone, we can’t stop smiling!
Best manager and mentor!
The one who puts my business before hers and helps me bring any idea I have to life. Selfless and giving of her expertise without the fluff and straight up advice always.

Margaret went above and beyond in helping us to get the best deal in buying a home. Bay area real estate can be intimidating especially for a first time homebuyer but she certainly made every processes easy and smooth. Another character of her that we noticed was that she works fast and furious! Hence giving the homebuyer more of buying power when it comes to highly competitive nature of bay area real estate. We certainly recommend Margaret because she will make sure you get the home you want with best deal possible 👌 and fast 😁
