Elena Ronquillo and I have a distinctive partnership - a collaboration of talents that work together to support you. As technology continues to become more central to real estate, agent services are becoming more impersonal. But a real-life one-on-one connection between agent and client is what differentiates us. We are ranked among the top 4% of agents in the Inner East Bay, and since 2006 we have managed over 135 successful transactions valued at over $90M. Our listings sell an average of 18% over list in an average of just 19 days (2021-2022). We specialize in the Inner East Bay - from Richmond to Oakland - and have been with Red Oak Realty since 2006. Over that time we have found that buying or selling a home can be an expensive, infrequent, emotional, complicated process that is different for everyone. Our individualized, professional advice smooths the process, reduces the pain, and maximizes our sellers’ and buyers’ investments. Your interests are at the heart of our work. For our sellers, we work with you to: Design a listing strategy; Create your listing calendar and budget; Refer outstanding vendors to prepare your property for market ;Provide unique marketing including custom website and professional photography; Manage/run open houses and broker tours; Negotiate the highest possible price; For our buyers, we: Educate you in the current market; Help you discover neighborhoods; Show homes privately; Write and negotiate your offer for the best possible price; Calendar important dates for escrow to ensure close; Support your needs even after the sale with referrals to exceptional vendors; Our hand-crafted approach, attention-to-detail and expertise in the real estate market makes working with us your perfect choice.
