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,

Margaret is a very professional and knowledgeable real estate agent. I worked with Margaret in purchasing my first home in San Jose, with little down payment. Margaret made my American Dream came true as a home owner in California with high living cost. I would highly recommended Margaret to anyone with your home purchase/selling needed and she will not let you down.

Margaret handled our transaction with professionalism and a win-win approach throughout. She negotiated hard for her client and worked diligently to bring it to a successful close. I'd be happy to work with her again.

Working with Pia has been a wonderful experience! As a first time home buyer, she was patient with me, answering all my questions, working quickly to get answers, and even sending me answers to questions I hadn't even thought of. Her experience and expertise shines through, as she made ever tour of a house feel special, and always checking in on the ranking of houses toured and what sparked my interest. She was so easy to talk to, discuss concerns with, and keep in communication. Her and her team did a phenomenal job, and are where I would send recommendations for future home buyers! Thank you again, I am so happy your help and insight in getting a dream home!

She did a really good job, about recommending the house, negotiate the price , making offer, and she’s willing to work long hours to satisfy the buyer.
My wife, Fenny, and I are newlyweds. We decided it was time to get a home together rather than trying to share our separate houses. After discussing the essential requirements we started by going to open houses that we identified from internet sources. After about three months looking at condos, co-ops, and single family homes from Rossmoor, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Fremont, Newark, Union City and Hayward we were ready to buy. We asked Margaret Lin, a friend, to be our buyer agent. Margaret visited us that evening in our home and interviewed us about what we wanted and talked with us about what we could expect from her. The next day we toured homes with Margaret. One home seemed perfect for size, and location but a bit out of our price range. Margaret worked with us and an excellent mortgage banker to make this perfect house affordable and then helped us craft an offer for the home. With our offer quickly accepted we began the process of working with the mortgage banker for a ten day closing. Margaret was with us every step of the way. She helped us navigate several issues with the seller and mortgage banker that could have disrupted the sale. She understood what was important to us and brought the purchase to a successful conclusion. Margaret continued to work with us after closing supplying needed referrals for local suppliers and services and she helped us navigate through the entire process. When we stopped touring open houses I told my wife I wanted an agent that would help us buy our new home. Margaret was the perfect agent. I would love to recommend her to friends and family and anyone who wants a true professional realtor. Many, many thanks (terima kasih!).

Thanks for helping us with a smooth and successful real estate transaction. Your knowledge and coolness make us feel comfortable and less stressful in the bidding process. Especially a lower offer was suggested in the bidding. The suggested offer does not jibe well in a seller market. However, the result of the savings has a positive impact on property improvements. Again, thanks for your assistance in this acquisition.

I’ve had the chance to work with Margaret on multiple transactions, and each time I’ve been moved by the unselfish heart she puts into her work. She’s incredibly dedicated, often setting aside entire days just to make sure her clients feel supported every step of the way. Margaret is a fierce advocate, never hesitating to stand up for what’s fair and right. She handles high-pressure situations with calm confidence and never loses sight of who she’s working for. Her communication, follow-through, and genuine care make all the difference. It’s clear she’s deeply invested in her clients, and it truly shows.

so easy. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and walked us through

We’re incredibly grateful to Miruta for helping us find our perfect home three years ago. During a peak market, her speed and dedication in submitting offers overnight and always on time made all the difference. Her responsiveness and commitment truly set her apart.

Miruta was an incredible partner in my home search across Fremont, Hayward, San Jose, and Warm Springs. She brought deep market knowledge and helped me weigh the trade-offs between school quality, neighborhood vibe, and access to essential things like parks, medical help, and restaurants. She has a great instinct for matching homes to your lifestyle. She was always one step ahead — anticipating what I might need before I even asked. I especially appreciated her transparency and how she encouraged me to look beyond my initial preferences to make a more informed and best long-term decision for my family.
Thoughtful, proactive, and genuinely invested — she’s everything you’d want in a realtor.

Thank you, Cara Milgate, for being so much more than just a manager. 💛

Your support means more than words can express. I’m beyond grateful for your kindness, patience, and unwavering belief in me.
Thank you for being there—always. ❤️

Hey Cara,
I was just reflecting on how my morning went, thank you so much for putting together the mastermind session. I think it went really well and it was great collaborating with others. Thank you for inviting me and having me be part of it!

Miruta guided us through our home search in Fremont and Hayward, showing us several single-family homes. She has deep knowledge of the Fremont area, particularly the Gomes and Mission school districts. Her professionalism, organization, and local insight made the entire experience seamless and reassuring.

I can’t thank Miruta enough for helping me navigate the home search in Fremont. From day one, she listened closely to what I was looking for and went above and beyond to find homes that matched my style and needs. Her deep knowledge of the Fremont neighborhoods, school districts, and market trends gave me real confidence throughout the process. I never felt rushed or pressured — just supported. Although we changed our mind to buy and continue to rent, I’m so grateful to have had such a thoughtful and committed agent by my side!

Miruta helped us find a home in Union City, and we couldn’t be happier. She knows the area incredibly well and guided us through every step of the process with confidence and care. Her local expertise truly made all the difference in helping us find the perfect home for our family.

Maricruz went above and beyond to make sure I got the best deal possible. She worked hard to negotiate a credit from the seller, which made a big difference, and she also helped me secure a grant—something I wouldn’t have even known was an option without her expertise.

Maricruz was wonderful. When we were trying to buy a house, we looked at a lot of places and. It was about after looking at 5 different houses that we finally found one house that we particularly liked. We had made offer on a couple prior to the one was currently live in and kept changing our minds last minute but Maricruz was still very patient and kept helping us to find the right house. When we told her which houses we were interested in looking at she did a lot of research on the houses for us and letting us know if the house was worth buying. We could tell she was very professional. We really enjoyed having Maricruz as our agent when we were in the market of buying a house. If it wasn't because of Maricruz, we wouldn't have been able to purchase the house we currently live in. So, we really appreciated her a lot. After we bought our house Maricruz also told us that she is still our agent so if anytime we had any questions still regarding the house we purchased that we are still able to reach out to her. Thank you very much Maricruz.

We highly recommend Pia to anyone looking for a new home. She is knowledgeable and reliable realtor. This is already our second home purchase thru Pia, She is the best!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🥰

Margaret is the real estate agent that you want if you are looking for someone who is super efficient, great negotiator, friendly, and who will fight for you to get the best deal possible.
I never thought that I will be able to afford to purchase a property especially in the Bay Area, but Margaret made it all possible. Because of her and fighting spirit, I was able to secure the biggest grants worth $47,000 that went towards down payment which shocked not only me, but Margaret as well since this is quite unheard of!
