As first-time homebuyers, we began our search in November 2024 and found our home in April 2025—and we couldn’t have done it without Diana. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, supportive, and always available to answer our endless questions with kindness and clarity. Diana was flexible and understanding of our ever-changing preferences, and she consistently went above and beyond to make the process easier for us. On several occasions, when we couldn’t attend open houses, she offered to visit them on our behalf and sent detailed pictures and videos so we didn’t miss out on any opportunities. Beyond just the house tours, Diana also connected us with trustworthy lenders who helped us secure our financing. She was by our side day and night, guiding us every step of the way and turning what could have been a stressful process into a smooth and enjoyable experience. We’re incredibly grateful for her dedication and couldn’t recommend Diana highly enough!

Shela is an absolutely phenomenal real estate agent. We say that with full confidence because we worked with a few other agents before her—and none came close to the level of dedication and care she brought to the table. As a first-time homebuyer, our preferences were constantly evolving, but Shela was endlessly patient and supportive throughout the entire journey (even when we changed our minds a hundred times 😄).
What truly stood out to us was how engaged and involved she was during our home tours. Unlike many agents who remain in the background, Shela actively inspected every corner of each property and pointed out important details we would have otherwise missed. She offered honest insights and helped us understand what to look for when making such a big decision.
Beyond just helping us find a home, Shela also connected us with reliable contractors she’s worked with to assist in our renovation projects—making the transition into our new place so much easier.
Shela also has excellent communication skills—she kept us in the loop every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and was always just a call or message away when we had questions. She was always available to answer our (many!) questions and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have done this without Shela and genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better agent.

We are so grateful to have had Christine Nguyen as our agent! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and truly one of the best agents in San Jose. What really impressed us was her fluency in Vietnamese—she was so respectful and patient with my mom, who had a lot of questions. Christine took the time to explain every step in Vietnamese, which gave our family peace of mind. If you want someone who genuinely cares, she’s highly recommended for home buying and selling!

Shela Pobleta exceeded all our expectations! From day one, she was responsive, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated to helping us find the right home. Her negotiating skills and local knowledge are what make her one of the best San Jose agents. Whether you’re buying or selling, she ensures a smooth and successful process. We had the best home buying and selling experience thanks to Shela. Highly recommended!

Christine Nguyen did an excellent job representing her Buyer on the purchase of one my listings. She took the time to call me in advance before writing the offer and asked great questions, listened well to my sellers needs, was incredibly professional and had amazing follow-thru! The property had multiple offers and although theirs wasn't the highest, she ended up helping her clients to understand what it would take to make it happen and they ended up prevailing and getting the home! I truly enjoyed working with her and her team as they met every deadline and we closed exactly on the date that she said we would, she worked with me making sure the appraiser had all the info needed to get the property to appraise which was a win for her Buyer and she was just soooo delightful in communicating with me by keeping me posted before I had to check in with her for an update and she always picked up her phone. Small, but important aspects to being successful in this business! I would be happy to do more real estate transactions with Christine....she's a class act!!! Elise Erwin Hume - Century 21 Masters

I had the privilege of working with Shela Poblete where she represented the Buyer on one of my listings and she and her team were incredible to work with! The experience was refreshing as they had a positive infectious attitude towards making the transaction as smooth as possible and to do the right thing at all times. She represented her Buyers masterfully as they were in a multiple offer situation and Shela found just the right mix of getting the Buyers the house while convincing the Sellers that they were the right party to choose. Communication was flawless and performance stellar! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing Real Estate assistance and look forward to doing another deal with her in the future!

I’m a loan officer who has worked with Christine Nguyen on multiple transactions, and she is truly one of the best in the business. Her communication skills are some of the strongest I’ve seen — clear, consistent, and always proactive. That kind of communication builds trust and momentum, and it’s a big reason why she’s able to help her buyers get into contract, even in highly competitive markets. I’ve heard directly from listing agents who praise Christine’s professionalism and collaboration, even when her clients' offer isn’t the highest. She has a reputation among her peers for being someone people want to work with, and that makes all the difference. Christine also goes above and beyond when it comes to client service, and she does it all with so much integrity and heart. I always feel confident when she’s part of a transaction, and I’m grateful to work alongside her.

I am a loan officer and I've had the pleasure of working with Shela Poblete on many transactions, and every single time she impresses me with her dedication and heart. Shela is a fierce advocate for her clients — she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure they are protected, informed, and supported throughout the process. Her negotiation skills are outstanding; I’ve seen her secure credits and favorable terms that truly make a difference for her buyers. She’s incredibly effective at getting clients into contract, and she works tirelessly to make the process smooth and as stress-free as possible. Most importantly, Shela leads with integrity. She always does what’s right for her clients, even when it’s not the easiest path. It’s a privilege to work alongside someone so committed and compassionate.

We met Shela at an open house while we were seeing homes to get an idea of what we want in a home and where we stand in the market. She approached us and was very professional and upbeat. We hit it off with our relationship immediately, and for my fiancee and I, that rapport was important when it comes to which realtor we wanted to work with. Shela helped provide us with a market analysis of every home we were interested in and helped us understand what the value of the home would be and the likely price range it would sell for. Shela has a whole team she has put together from building good working relationships with people in the area and related industries. She gave us a recommendation for a mortgage broker whom we also found to be as good as she was in every detail. She works closely with Christine, another realtor at Next Home. The two of them together as a team are very responsive, answered or found answers to every question we had, and dug deep for information that we didn't know we needed. We saw many homes together and were outbid on at least one home, but ultimately, we won on a home we were happy with. We feel like it took a village to make our home ownership dreams happen, and Shela brought the village to us.

Working with Shela as our real estate agent was an absolutely exceptional experience. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of diligence and helpfulness that truly went above and beyond our expectations. Shela took a proactive approach at every step of the home buying process, anticipating our needs and providing clear, insightful answers to all our questions. She ensured the entire experience was remarkably smooth and stress-free.
It’s rare to find an agent who invests such deep personal involvement in their clients' needs. Sheela's commitment to our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. Her professionalism is top-notch, and her dedication is unparalleled. Shela's expertise and personalized approach make her an invaluable asset to anyone navigating the real estate market.
She has not only helped us find our dream home, but she has also become a cherished part of our extended family. We wholeheartedly recommend Shela to anyone looking for a truly exceptional and personalized home buying experience.

I can't express enough gratitude towards Shela and her partner Christine. I truly believe that had it not been for Shela and Christine my fiance and I would not have been successful in getting into contract on our home. This is the best team I could have asked for. The home buying process can be scary and daunting but we never felt like we were alone. They were always there for us when we had questions and were responsive to our feedback during our home search. They went above and beyond our expectations and made the whole process as smooth and as easy for us as possible. We wholeheartedly recommend Shela to anyone in search of a Realtor.

First off I want to say that Shela is a fireball! Full of enthusiasm and has a magnetic personality! She's very helpful and we gave her a deadline & she fulfilled it! Every time I emailed her with listings she made appointments the same day & she always makes time whenever I have questions or I want to see something. In conclusion I just want to say that she's very hardworking!

Shela Poblete was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. It was late in the afternoon when I decided to put an offer in on a house, so Shela worked late into the evening to get my offer submitted that night. Due to Shela’s hard work, it was the first offer the buyer received and luckily it was accepted quickly! Since this was my first home purchase, I had lots of questions during the entire transaction. Shela was aways very patient and available day or night to answer my questions. After the closing, Shela was still available to help. She even hired a cleaning service to do a “deep clean” of the house for me! I highly recommend Shela and believe that she can help you find your perfect home too!

Shela has been absolutely amazing. I have been working with her for about three years now. And although we have not found my dream home just yet she’s always positive and continuing to search to find the best fit for me. Her spunky personality and wonderful outlook always reassures me that we will find the best fit instead of settling for something that I am unhappy with. She takes her time and does all of the research on the properties which really allows me to trust her judgment on many of the properties that she is showing me.

Selling a property can be a daunting process, but Shela and her team made it a seamless and positive experience for us. From the very beginning, she helped us craft a solid strategy tailored to the market conditions. Her meticulous planning and execution of open houses were truly commendable.

She kept us informed at every step, providing valuable updates about market changes and the interest generated during the open houses. What stood out was her willingness to go beyond standard marketing practices—reaching out to the neighborhood and employing professional online marketing tactics to maximize visibility.

Shela also went above and beyond in helping us set up staging, ensuring the property looked its best. As we approached the final stages, her close follow-up and attention to detail during the closing process were exemplary.

One of the things we appreciated most was her professionalism and integrity throughout the process. During challenging moments, she never pushed her own interests but instead engaged in thoughtful discussions, even exploring alternative options such as renting the property based on our preferences. This level of maturity and client-first approach made a world of difference.

We are thrilled that, with her guidance and expertise, we were able to sell the property as planned. We highly recommend Shela and her team to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and dedicated real estate partner.

I had the pleasure of working with, and managing Diana at LinkedIn, where she consistently demonstrated strong attention to detail, met deadlines effortlessly, and showed a natural ability to connect with people.

She has an incredible way of making people feel comfortable and supported, and she’ll do whatever it takes to help you find a place that feels like home. If you’re looking for a realtor who will treat you like family, Diana is the one!

If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area, I would highly recommend Diana! She is extremely empathetic, an amazing communicator, and has a great understanding of local markets. Diana's work ethic and personal touch truly sets her apart from others realtors. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

I’ve known Diana for a little over 20 years. She is someone who will always put her best foot forward in everything she does. She is not only genuine in her care but also professional and reliable. Her ability to make you feel secure and heard makes me believe that she will excel in all aspects of being your agent.
