Sereno Group began with the simple goal of redefining today’s real estate practice. A small group of seasoned, top producing agents realized a growing need for more accountability to and responsibility for the client/transaction process and for the quality of the client’s experience, motivated by the continued dilution of the quality of service being provided to clients by mega-firms.Sereno Group focuses on strong local ownership and leadership, a tighter core group of agents working together, and a movement back to the benefits of deep community-based relationships, as lifelong residents and professionals.I joined Sereno Group because of the high level of professionalism and focus on creating a work environment that is conducive to individual growth through a genuinely community centric model. After having a fulfilling career in engineering, Sereno Group has become my perfect sandbox for personal and professional growth, supporting community involvement and a return to the concepts that are very dear to me - the family home.Sereno Group has been honored as one of the top 50 philanthropic corporate organizations in Santa Clara County by the Silicon Valley Business Journal. Sereno Group’s recognition was the direct result of its 1% for Good movement. Ask me about it - I am proud to be a part of Sereno Group's 1 % for Good team.
