Welcome Home to the Madrigal Family! Stockton, CA
Congratulations to Gladis and Emilio Madrigal on their amazing milestone of becoming proud homeowners!
Despite the challenges of higher interest rates and a competitive market for move-in ready homes in Stockton, CA., my team and I navigated the Madrigal Family successfully through the path of homeownership.
Super proud of them for taking quick action after I let them know about the closing cost grant for first-time homebuyers in underserved communities. They were awarded a $10K grant for their closing costs after completing the requirements.
In addition, it was a pleasure to assist the Madrigal Family with my negotiation skills to secure an additional closing cost credit, plus a home warranty from the seller.
Huge shout out to Karen Ramirez with Land Home Financial Services, Inc, our mortgage partner, for securing the financing and looking for additional ways to save the Madrigal Family money!
Contact me if you would like to learn more about qualifying for the closing cost grant program for first-time homebuyers.
If you're interested in selling or purchasing a home but don't know where to start, call or text me with any real estate questions you may have. I am happy to help you!
Congratulations to the Perez Family! 2991 Bradbury Dr., San Jose, CA. - SOLD
Congratulations to the Perez Family!!
At the beginning of their home selling journey, my clients felt overwhelmed about getting their home prepared for sale, including decluttering and repairs. Plus they felt nervous about a smooth transition into their next new home.
However, the goal of attracting the highest number of potential buyers while maximizing the value of their home was reached by following my strategic approach.
After several months, the Perez Family completed the property enhancements, including decluttering. They did an amazing job of preparing the home for sale.
We then reviewed prices for similar homes and agreed on our winning pricing strategy.
Next, within the first week of placing the home for sale, my team and I executed our effective, advanced marketing strategies and got the home under contract.
In addition, I made sure, through my negotiation strategies, that my sellers have a smooth transition into their next new home.
The Perez Family is incredibly elated with the successful sale of their home, which sold $25k over asking!!
My marketing assistant, Isabel, sat down with the Perez Family for a video customer testimonial on their experience working with me. Click on the video below!
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Perez Family and help them cross the bridge successfully DEBT FREE and STRESS FREE into their next new home and future investment property!!
Congratulations to the Baria Family! Tracy, CA
The Baria family celebrates with joy on the amazing milestone they accomplished on April 6, 2023.
I first met the Baria family in the Fall of 2022. They were a busy couple working in the Bay Area and were tired of paying high rents. They were ready to relocate to Tracy, CA.
We started our journey together with a discovery call to find out all the details pertinent to purchasing a home. With a fully underwritten pre-approval loan, they expressed their desire on finding a home in a newer neighborhood with specific amenities all within a certain budget.
Every morning, I checked all the new inventory hitting the market and kept a close eye for a home with their specific requirements. One day, the perfect home became available, and I arranged for my buyers to view it. It was their dream home, and we proceeded with placing a strong offer.
There were many factors that we came across in our journey, including a tight inventory market and increasing interest rates, but with our eye on the mortgage rates and housing market, my team and I were able to navigate the Baria Family successfully to homeownership.
Through my V.I.P. Home Buyer Success Program, the Baria Family arrived with incredible joy to their goal of buying their dream home.
Part of my winning strategies included negotiating on the price and asking for credits for my buyers.

Congratulations to the Carrasco Family! Los Baños, CA
The Carrasco Family achieved a major milestone of purchasing their own home today!
Their story began one year ago when they were searchng for a home via another Realtor. They looked at homes after homes and could never find the right home.
Fast forward to February 2023, when we first met. They expressed their frustration of not being able to find the right home. I worked promptly on their case and set-up a discovery meeting to find out all the pertinent information to get started on their home buying journey. The Carrasco’s were prepared to purchase their dream home by having a fully underwritten pre-approval loan by their lender. I then started to search for homes with the criteria they were looking for and sent them search alerts a couple of times per week. The homes interested my buyers, and we scheduled time to view them together. By March 10, 2023, the Carrasco family was filled with joy upon the purchase of their dream home!
They were surprised how fast they reached the end of their homebuying journey and the beginning of a new chapter of building wealth for their family's future.
So happy that I was able to negotiate valuable credits for my buyers as well!

My Visit to Dulcinea Baking Company, Oaxacan Bakery - 795 S. Second St., San Jose, CA
Every year, mom loves to end her holiday season with a fresh baked Three Kings Sweet Bread. This year, I took her to Dulcinea Baking Company, a Oaxacan Bakery located at 795 S. 2nd Street, San Jose, CA.
Mom loved the aroma of fresh baked Oaxacan bread as she entered the bakery in the morning. Many of the pastries on their display cases reminded mom of the pastries she much enjoyed when growing up in Oaxaca, Mexico. It was like taking mom to a candy store as she loved their selection of Oaxacan pastries.
In this video, I take you on a quick tour of the Dulcinea Baking Company. Enjoy!
Last, the bakery is easy to locate once you get off the freeway, plus there is plenty of parking space. It also has a ramp for wheelchair accessbility, plus the customer service is excellent with friendly staff.
Congratulations to the Cortes Nunez Family! - San Leandro, CA
Back in August, Osbelia and Martin, two young Bay Area professionals, were not sure whether they could a own a home after a lender, they reached out to, told them they could not qualify for a loan and provided no further guidance to repair their credit history. Their dream was to buy their home for their growing young family.
After they discussed, with me, what had happened, I recommended they reach out to one of my preferred lenders that works very hard for our clients. Within a few days, my preferred lender got them preapproved for a loan. My clients were excited to start searching for their ideal home for their beautiful family. Before searching for homes, I presented them with expectations about the market and the home buying process, so there wouldn’t be surprises along the way.
At first, a couple of the homes they were interested were outbid by other buyers. We kept positive and kept looking. Their winning offer was accepted in November when there was less buyers on the market. Located in a quiet family oriented neighborhood, the gorgeous home has a large backyard for their precious children to play. In addition, the home is centrally located to their jobs, shopping, schools, and easy access to the freeway. The home met all their top needs.
Extremely happy and proud for Osbelia and Martin reaching their goal of buying their dream home. They are now on their way to build equity for their young family’s future. Looking forward to seeing all the improvements they will be making to their beautiful home!
Reach out to me if you need help to make sense of the current real estate market. Let my team and I be your light to navigate you successfully to homeownership, especially in this shifting market! 🙂

Congratulations to the Zamora Family on the sale of their beautiful East Bay home and the beginning of a new chapter in their young lives!
Before listing the home on the market, I explained the current market conditions, including the impact of rising interest rates on homes, to my sellers so they can be well informed that homes in the area were taking longer to sell.
I also recommended to my clients to fix all the repairs on the house to improve the maximum amount they could receive upon selling in this changing market.
After 6 Open Houses, 40 agent showings with their buyers, plus an aggressive digital marketing plan, my team and I were able to find the ideal buyer for this gated move in ready home, which backs up to the freeway..
Both parties representing the buyer and seller, worked collaboratively to navigate our clients through their real estate journey.

Home with Acreage - Stockton, CA SOLD!
Mission accomplished! Congratulations to the Gutierrez family on the purchase of their first home!
After learning about their pain points and bringing them up to speed with the current market conditions, we set-out a plan to view a couple of homes with acreage. They truly set their eyes on a property, located in the country, ideal for their horses.
There were so many hoops that the couple had to go through since their NONQM loan required various detailed requirements, including completing a first time homebuyer course, plus a detailed resume of their family business and outlook.
Despite some challenges along the way, the family stayed focused and committed to accomplish their goal. So happy that my team and I successfully assisted the Gutierrez family in their real estate journey!
I look forward to seeing the improvements they will add to their house to make it their own!

Congratulations to Sheyla and her mom, Maria, on becoming new homeowners!
In this market with tight inventory, multiple offers, racing against time to try to get the best interest rate possible, and many other challenges along the way, we stayed the course and got them home!
This beautiful home sits on a 9,000 square foot lot, the seller added over 1,000 square feet of brand new living space, plus he updated the original square footage. The seller did all this updating with permits in 2016, so the home is pretty much new.
I am super happy for these two ladies because they are set to build wealth through homeownership.
Don’t ever assume you can not afford to buy a home without talking to the right lender. These two ladies thought they could not buy a home, but I connected them to the right lender who helped them with the financing. We started our home search over the holiday period with no stopping until coming across this fabulous updated gated home on a quiet street. It was perfect for their needs, including a large lot for entertaining and possibly a second home.
Our winning strategies to getting our offer accepted, in this competitive market, included submitting a clean offer, offering a little extra over the asking price. plus guaranteeing $5,000 more over the appraise value should the home not appraise at purchase price.
I look forward to keeping in touch with Shayla and Maria to see the new changes they will make to the home to make it their own!

Congratulations to Constantino Hernandez on the purchase of his new home!
Every client has their unique story for what motivates them to purchase a home.
In the case of my client, Constantino, the low interest rates motivated him to purchase a home before prices and rates rise further next year. He was ready to start the homebuying journey with my 100 percent commitment to help him through the entire process using my skills and knowledge.
Before searching for homes, we discussed in detail what features were important to him. We began viewing homes that fit his specific criteria and within his budget based on his loan prequalification.
There were a couple of key items to getting this offer accepted by the seller. First, communication with the listing agent was essential to find out exactly what was important to the seller. These details helped immensely when I discussed and strategized, with my buyer, of submitting a clean offer and offering a certain amount above the asking price, within his budget, should the home not appraise. This was the second key to make the offer stand out.
I researched and discussed with my buyer the market values of similar homes in the neighborhood before submitting our competitive offer.
When we reached the inspection process, the inspection revealed a few health and safety issues that needed to be repaired.
Constantino was concerned about who could do the repairs on his home. I assured him not to worry since I have a network of trusted vendors that I work with in the area. My trusted vendor got in touch with my client right away and gave him an estimate on the repair costs.
Through negotiations with the seller, my buyer was able to receive credit for more than half of the repair costs.
My local lender also played a key role in getting the loan process approved on a timely basis.
After 28 days of the home going into contract, Constantino is finally a new homeowner and on his way to create wealth for his future. I look forward to staying in touch with Constantino and seeing the improvements he makes to his beautiful home!
Remember, I am here for YOU if you have any real estate questions, would like to discuss your options, are ready to create a winning plan to buy or sell a home, or need a vendor referral. Happy to provide you with relevant information, so you can make an informed decision. How can I help you?
