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,

Hi Cara,
Thank you so much for putting together the Remodel Specialist Mastermind session. It was a really good session, and I especially appreciated how you covered everything from start to finish.

I’ve had Ariya help me with sales at my baseball facility, and they always brought great communication skills and professionalism. They connected easily with parents and athletes and handled tasks like scheduling and customer service with care. I fully recommend them as someone dependable and great to work with.
M
I’ve known Ariya for years, and they’ve always shown responsibility, respect, and a dependable work ethic. They handle challenges calmly and are the kind of person who follows through on what they say they’ll do. I strongly recommend them for any opportunity they pursue.
B
I managed Ariya during their time in sales at Macy’s, and they were one of the most reliable and customer-focused associates on our team. They communicated well with customers, handled busy shifts with maturity, and always stepped up when help was needed. I would gladly work with them again and confidently recommend them for any position.

I have nothing but great things to say about Maricruz. Prior to her I had the worst experiences with other realtors and she came to saved my family and I. We were trying to sell our house for a couple years and a friend refer me Maricruz. She did an awesome job with great communication, she promoted our home everywhere and most importantly she understood the importance it was for our family to sell our home quickly. I felt like she treated us not only like just a customer but like family. As time progressed we were put on a difficult situations by the people miss managing our community but she kept her beautiful positive attitude, very encouraging to us, she kept pushing and was up for the challenge. She didn't give up on us and she sold our house. I am very proud of her! She responds quickly to phone calls, emails, and has very clear communication. She also helped us find out next future home. Even after our current purchase we had a few questions and her high level of great service still continued to help us. I definitely will be continuing working with her on all our future properties endeavors and highly recommend her.
Thank you Maricruz very much! My family and I are very blessed to have met you.

Dear Cara Milgate and Rishi Bakshi,
Thank you for your kind letter regarding Angela Franco's excellent record of service. She has more than fulfilled our expectations of a real estate agent to prepare to sell our house in Fremont. We greatly appreciate the way she has gone far above and beyond the average real estate broker in helping us make important decisions and understand the implications of those decisions. You are rightly proud to have her on your team. We look forward eagerly to seeing the transformation of our property into a more lovely home for a new family. We have been blessed with friendly neighbors over the years, and we hope the family enjoys the new friends they will make there as much as we have. We also look forward to our continuing communication with Angela as the work progresses. We have seen how trustworthy she is in making the connections necessary for moving forward with this project, which to us is daunting. But Angela has the talent and expertise to make it seem almost easy. Best regards...

Working with Margaret and Michelle to find my first home was an incredible experience. From the very beginning, their professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for my needs were evident in every step of the process. They were consistently proactive, making sure I never missed an opportunity and always keeping me informed with clear, timely communication.
They also took the time to answer all of my questions efficiently no matter how big or small and provided in depth explanations of how the entire home buying process works. As a first time buyer, this made a huge difference. Their guidance helped me feel confident and well prepared at every stage.
What impressed me most was how they both went above and beyond their usual scope of practice. Although their primary area is the Bay Area, they were more than willing to extend their search and support to Elk Grove to help me find the right home. Their flexibility, commitment, and willingness to adapt truly made me feel supported and prioritized.
Margaret, is a well seasoned agent with a wealth of knowledge and experience. She continuously demonstrated that she will do everything in her power to help you meet your home buying goals. Her guidance was invaluable, and her calm confidence made the entire journey feel manageable and positive.
I couldn’t have asked for a better team. If you’re looking for agents who are professional, proactive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Margaret and Michelle. They made my first home buying experience smooth, enjoyable, and ultimately successful. If I’m ever in the market for another home, I know exactly who to ask. Thanks again for all your hard work, Margaret and Michelle!

She answered every question with patience and kindness, and she always went the extra mile to make sure I found the right home. Pia made what could have been overwhelming feel exciting and achievable. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with anyone else. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about you and your journey, Pia is the realtor you need! 10/10 Stars!!!

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!

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!
