Intero Real Estate Union City

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,

So I met with my new broker, Cara L. Milgate yesterday morning and it was everything I ever wanted with a broker. I told her all of my crazy ideas. Big ideas.

She mapped them out for me and discovered the best way to use technology and resources to elevate me to my next level in each. Also, we both share similar mindsets in what motivates us which is always encouraging.

I’ve never raved about a broker I’ve hung my license under, I’m raving.

Thank you to Antonette, very patient with us. When we first started started working with her last year we had paused our search for awhile while we tried to figure out what we really wanted to do. She understood and gave us our space. Once we were ready again we decided to contact her because we liked her patience and knowledge of the market. Always in contact via email, looking out for listings. Gets it right away as to what we were looking for. Great at communicating with us during the process of home buying. Thanks to Antonette we found our home.

We couldn’t be more happy with our new home! After renting for the last 5 years, it’s a breath of fresh air knowing our hard earned money is going towards something we can call our own. Antonette definitely helped us with this process as quick and efficient as possible. We closed within a little over a month, which includes the house hunting process and close of escrow. Our two kids love our new home, and we can’t wait to begin our new memories here! Thank you Antonette!

Monette Santillan recommends Marcel Calderon

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I met Marcel during an open house. I knew instantly that he had the passion for the job he is into. Although I have long time relationship with other agents, I contacted him when I decided to buy a house.

He was very attentive to my needs (as if I am his only customer) , knowledgeable in the contract negotiations that we were able to close in 20 days. He still returns my messages promptly up to this day even when all I need is help on internet connections, moving arrangements, security connections...all the little things I'm not fond of googling.

I highly recommend Marcel for all your real estate needs.

Margaret recently helped me sell my home. That may sound simple to some, but all of those who have gone through the all the troubles that can come up while selling a house can tell you, it’s not always simple. Margaret was supportive and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She cares about her clients like they are family and is dedicated to doing everything she can to support them. Her passion is evident in all of her work. Margaret will be my go-to real estate agent for any future sales/purchases.

Shyla M recommends Joraine Costales

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Joraine and her family are amazing! When looking for a realtor you definitely want someone that makes the process easy and understandable. When I bought my first place I went with a realtor who didn't put in the work to help me or explain the process to me. Complete opposite with my experience with Joraine. Her and Marc are always dedicated to their work and it shows with their results. My husband and me sold our first condo (for top dollar) and purchased our "forever home" (even with the contingency of the sell of our condo) and it's all thanks for the Costales team!!! We never felt confused or questioned the steps they were making. We are so thankful for them and the work they put in. They definitely treat you like their focus is on YOU, even though their lives are busy and they have other clients. When choosing a realtor why not choose one of the best??? And if you want top dollar when you sell and best outcome when purchasing there's no question... go with the Costales team!

Luchie is a great realtor. We are just blessed that she was introduced to us by my bff. She has helped us tremendously and she became patient and understood our situation. She didn’t push us to buy just to get a commission but she did help us to be able to get our first home and became a homeowner. My family is just grateful and thankful for in a matter of 3 months, we were able to acquire a condo. I will continue recommending more clients to her. Thanks and Hod bless Ate Luchie.

Mark Davidson Platon recommends Pia De Castro

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
It was a pleasure working with Pia De Castro and her team. She truly is working hard to meet her client’s best interest. We started our house-hunting journey with her in July 2019. As a first time homebuyer, we were excited and apprehensive at the same time. She provided us her personal and professional insights about the current market, what to expect and even laid out strategic plans on making offers.

We appreciate her for making herself available at all times— from multiple calls everday to weekend open houses to late evening house showing. She kept our spirits high during the times when our offers were not accepted and continued working hard to find the perfect home for us. After 2 months of hard-work, we finally got in to contract. There has been a lot of hiccups before our offer got accepted, but Pia made sure that she got everything covered. She put so much effort into the negotiation process and was able to get the best deal for us. It would’ve been more stressful had it not been to her help and guidance. Her job as a realtor did not end after she gave us the key. She was really helpful even after we moved in.

We are very glad to have Pia as our realtor and we are grateful for all the help she gave us during the entire process.
