“…the work, skill, attention and dedication of Arlene Acuna for our estate sale was truly outstanding in every detail: preparation, marketing, offers, escrow, and closing.” -Mrs. Ethlyn S., Seller, Kensington

“In the end what I appreciated most about Arlene was the sense of integrity that she brought to everything she did. We could rest assured that whatever happened would be fair to all parties, above board, and honest.” –Rev. Doug B., Seller, Albany

“When we contracted with you to sell our house, we never dreamed that it would take only 8 days! We knew from the first day we met, that you were an aggressive advocate on our behalf….We really appreciated the way you always had time for our questions and made sure we understood each process as the escrow progressed. ….our heartfelt thanks for a job well done. We never realized that selling a home could be such a pleasant experience! Thank you Arlene for being there for us at this critical juncture in our lives. You made it easy!” -Doug and Cindy F., Sellers, Richmond

“Arlene’s skills showed their strength as we went through a half-dozen rounds of negotiation before a mutually satisfactory contract was signed by both parties…..Her advice saved us thousands of dollars….My wife and I feel so fortunate to have been able to close the sale when there was so little activity elsewhere, and we are grateful for the smoothness with which Arlene handled such a complicated process. She showed alertness, initiative, and expertise, all the while being gracious and sensitive." -Dr.Roger C., Seller, Berkeley Hills

“Neither of these transactions was simple-TICs, new loans, and so forth—but everything was made possible by Arlene’s diligence and communication skills….She works extremely hard…she also communicates well with all sorts of people from fellow agents to repair men." -Dr. Stuart B, Seller and Buyer, Berkeley

“…working with you has made all the difference. Not only because you are a seasoned professional who knows this area and knows what she’s doing, but because you care about and work extremely hard for your clients….Your support and guidance have been invaluable. From advising me on neighborhoods to being my advocate in offer negotiations, you always looked out for my best interest. Even now, after I’ve bought and moved into my house, you are still there for me.” -Natalie K, First Time Buyer, Albany

“As first time home buyers, there was so much that was unknown to us. You patiently led us through the whole process, providing us with all the information we wanted. …At the same time, you gave us the latitude to determine what we truly wanted in a house and never pressured us into making decisions. We really appreciated that….Hardly a day goes by when we do not feel fortunate to be living here. We are sure that the manner in which you represented us to the sellers had a lot to do with our getting this house…in this very competitive housing market." -Helena B. and Rohit S., Buyers, Berkeley
