We met Olga during an open house visit. Her service started before we even signed the contract and continued after we closed the deal. She provided a lot of professional information about buying a home and analyzed our target area, helping us understand the differences between various communities. She handled every step of the transaction process, making it essentially worry-free for us. Even after closing, she would remind us of any other matters we needed to address.If you're planning to buy a house in South San Jose and happen to need an agent, I highly recommend Olga.

I wasn’t really looking for a realtor, but when I met Olga, she made an impression, and made a point of staying in touch, sending me listings and information about the market in the Bay Area. When I was ready to start making offers, Olga was the first person I thought of. She is tenacious, hard working, and incredibly thorough. She thinks of everything and makes sure her clients are not surprised by anything that happens when buying a home. Mortgages, insurance, inspections, disclosures, and repairs—if you have questions, Olga has answers.

As first-time buyers in the Bay Area, their advice and guidance were extremely valuable throughout our months of house-hunting, offering, and closing on a home. From the beginning, she was very open and generous with her time, walking us through the state of the market, even her website was helpful! Her website FAQ in particular helped us start build an understanding of the home-buying process.From the start, we limited our house-hunting to part of the Bay Area that we know extremely well, which had limited inventory. This meant that we could easily go to all open houses for homes of interest, so Olga’s expertise in the region was not as critical here. With that said, she did tip us off early to homes coming to the market, which was nice, and we could quickly filter out possible homes before the market would filter them for us. For the homes that we were curious about, either with private tours with Olga or at open houses, Olga was of great help: in each visit she pointed out details that we had not considered, both about the homes and the neighborhoods.If we decided that we wanted to make an offer, Olga and her team quickly jumped on working through disclosures, preparing a prompt, tight summary of the the full set of disclosures, highlighting any surprises. Her team also shared the disclosures with us in a organized, regularly-updated digital packet, so we could always pull the latest document as needed. For the first few homes, Olga happily jumped on video calls to walk us through all of details of these disclosures. If we were considering making an offer, she also didn’t hesitate to tell us if the home was a good or a bad deal, factoring in details like location, resale potential, remodel potential, state of the market, and how much we liked it. Most of her predictions on selling prices turned out to be very close. When we reached the often stressful offer-making stage, Olga was extremely active in communicating with us and was patient with us throughout the process. Every offer letter was annotated by Olga and her team, highlighting important details, caveats, and explanations. For the first few offers, just like with the disclosures, she spent the time walking us through each and every line item in our offer letters, thoroughly explaining what each item meant, in plain English. This, coupled with the organized disclosure packet breakdowns, made this process easy. If we had any questions, she was a phone call away, and there was zero ambiguity. As we grew more comfortable with the process, we didn’t need this walkthrough for every offer, but she was willing to do so at a moment’s notice, which was great. Critically, when we requested changes to offer letters that would hurt our offer, she'd warn us, but was never pushy. Honest, direct, but not pushy.Olga also introduced us to a mortgage broker to help us find lenders, who was very nice and gave us solid advice. She also introduced us to a trusted mortgage contact from our preferred lender. We ended up switching from our lender-assigned contact to Olga’s trusted contact, and this turned out to be absolutely critical. We worked with this contact for months, ironing out details of our mortgage options to strengthen our offers. With Olga’s team and this contact, we could put attractive offers on the table, very quickly. They were instrumental in the offer-making phase. During this phase, Olga was on absolutely on top of the situation. She was in constant communication with the seller’s agent, and in constant communication with us about offer status and what to expect, offering sound, rational advice in a high-pressure situation. As first-time buyers, this was of great help. After our offer was accepted, Olga and her team worked diligently to help us close on time. Her team set up a very convenient calendar for us to keep track of what needs to get done by what date, again all in plain, clear English. So, while we ran around putting our pieces in place, with Olga and the calendar as our guides, Olga and her team also made sure that we never had to worry about anyone else dropping the ball. They maintained constant communication with our lender contact, the seller’s agent, the escrow company, and the homeowner’s insurance company and drove action as needed to get things done.Also, before and after closing, Olga and her team have kept in contact to help us to get properly settled in our home, reminding us of the status of critical first-time payments and providing us with resources covering a range of things: from suggested movers, local furniture stores, resources for home decorating, DIY resources, avoiding common homeowner spam and scams, donation suggestions, tax tips, even where to look for free moving boxes. All welcome useful resources.In short, we’d gladly recommend Olga and her team: they’ve proven to be consistently easy to work with, extremely professional, and just generally pleasant, great people :) See More
