Elisa Schweizer, Sereno

Elisa tirelessly searched for the perfect property for me and was able to find me one for a reasonable price in my desired neighborhood. I would recommend Elisa to anyone who is looking for a passionate, driven, and client-centric realtor.

This review is long overdue because I worked with Elisa nearly two years ago. But it also makes this review more relevant because it comes after we have lived in the house that she found for us. I hope that I am able to do justice to the tremendous professionalism that Elisa lives by. We were not the easiest of buyers because we had a lot of constraints related to Vaastu requirements, location, price range, home construction recency, schools, proximity to highways, etc. While we were constrained on a few aspects, we were completely open on other aspects (SFH, townhome, new construction, buy-and-rebuild, etc). Both of these aspects made the search complex and expansive. On top of this, at the time that we were looking for homes, there were covid related restrictions that required elaborate planning when touring homes. Even with so many factors in play, Elisa didn't blink and arranged for us to tour a lot of relevant homes. Our insistence on Vaastu was probably the hardest constraint to deal with because that rules out about 90% of the homes. Elisa worked through all such constraints and patiently worked with us without judgment or attitude. We explored a ton of homes online while chatting with her daily. We also toured many many homes -- too many for me to admit. I can honestly say that we did a thorough job of finding our ideal "forever home". This would have been impossible without Elisa's patient and diligent ground work. Other than being a great agent, Elisa is also well connected to a lot of other well regarded professionals in the area. She arranged for us to meet with a few home builders and plot owners. The mortgage agent that she introduced us to was better than any other recommendations and we finally went with them. She also knows a lot of other people in the real estate industry such as lawyers, plumbing companies, furnishers, etc. This made the overall process of home touring, bidding, closing and moving-in manageable. After living in our home for two years, I can honestly say that we found a great home that has all the primary attributes that we hoped to have. And it's not just a coincidence that we found it because Elisa put a ton of effort into understanding me, my family and our needs. She still remembers the names of my wife and children, she remembers many of the homes that we visited, she remembers some of the Vaastu criteria that we laid down and she remembers our house warming ceremony. When I started with the home search, I never realized the importance of having a good buyer's agent because everything seems transactional these days. With Elisa you get the old school professionalism combined with modern sharpness, taste, knowledge and efficiency. We've had meetings with builders at 10:00PM. We toured homes on Sunday morning at 9:00AM. We've toured 6 homes back-to-back where the travel time between homes was accurately factored into. We made many bids that helped us understand the current market. We negotiated some difficult terms of the deal under market moving conditions. Elisa has walked us through every step of the way. We are still in touch with Elisa long after we bought our home with her and I consult with her on a few things. I can honestly say that she is our trusted friend and advisor. Thank you for everything, Elisa!

We are excited to recommend Elisa to anyone who is thinking about selling or buying their home. While this was not our first time selling a house, it was absolutely the first time where we had such a dedicated, organized, pleasant and a professional agent. From the moment we met Elisa, she came prepared to the meeting, knowing the area, the comparables, and had a presentation ready for us with a check list, to-do list, and next steps. Her expertise in real estate and the bay area real estate market is second to none, and her advise unsurprisingly resulted in our house selling in just 2.5 days at over 200k above the list price, thanks to her skilled negotiations! More importantly, throughout the process, Elisa was always there to assist and answer questions, day or night. Elisa was present, physically, every step of the way, whether it was for the home inspection, pictures, and showings. Even after we closed and her commission was distributed, she made sure to reach out on our move day and ask if we needed help, breakfast or even assistance with the kids! Do you know another agent who does that? If you want to take the stress out of selling and/or purchasing your home, we urge you to take Elisa and be rest assured that you are in great hands with only your best interests in mind.

Elisa is wonderfully organized and detail-oriented. She met with tradespeople at the house so that I did not have to travel. She scheduled all the various appointments and kept everyone on schedule so that my home sold as quickly as possible. She was a joy to work with and I would definitely sell my next home with her if possible!
