Living the Dream: Real Stories From Our Residents
Real experiences that highlight the unique advantages of living in San Mateo and Foster City.
Did Rumana help you fnd the right home in the right neighborhood?
Hiring Rumana and Sasai gave us a lot of perspective on what was happening all over the Mid-Peninsula. After discussing our needs, they took us on several tours so we could identify specific neighborhoods that combined the style of home we were looking for, the qualities we desired in the surrounding area, and the budget we could afford. Once we narrowed down our search, Rumana was confident that she'd find us a home in two months. We were naturally skeptical but a little over two months later, we picked up keys to our new home.
—Phillip V.
Rumana listened closely to us to figure out exactly what was important to us in a house (e.g., walkability, distance to Caltrain, schools). She has deep knowledge of the different neighborhoods in the peninsula and was really able to help us narrow down our search to very specifc areas. This was extremely valuable as we were moving from the city and we didn't know too many details about some of the areas in the peninsula.
—Divya K.
Did Rumana make the process easy?
We found a home that we love and Rumana helped work out all the many details that were too overwhelming for us.
—Phillip B.
Buying or selling is a stressful time and even more so in the Bay Area. We felt that working with Rumana helped alleviate that stress. Let me say this—if we were in the market again, we would be working with Rumana.
—Sharmeen S.
It was very smooth. It did not require a lot of time or involvement. We just had Rumana take care of everything that was needed. Obviously, there’s probably a lot that happened in the background, but from our perspective it seemed like we had to do very little.
—Namita N.
Did Rumana respect your scheduling and pricing requirements?
Rumana and Sasai devoted countless hours outside of regular work hours to accommodate our schedules for house tours, meetings to review paperwork, and answer any questions we had about the buying process. It wasn't uncommon to get an email response from them at 10 PM!
—Gina I.
Rumana's team is certainly a hardworking one which responded to our requests in timely manner anytime we made the request, even in the midnight.
—David K.
Rumana showed us homes in our price range and was patient to work around our work schedule and our children’s nap and school schedules. We sat down and talked about what we wanted and what we absolutely needed and wanted to see only few homes that fIt those categories. Rumana kept us current on listings in the areas of our interest.
—Phillip B.
Did Rumana negotiate well for you?
Rumana was hands on with everything. We found the house that we wanted, and after having to deal with a very difficult seller, Rumana was not only able to get us this house, but get it for the price that we could afford.
—Scott & Tanya C.
Through many open houses and multiple offers, we were pleased with Rumana's solid reputation and track record, which was especially helpful when working with the seller's agent at the negotiation table.
—Chad S.
Was Rumana an expert in the field?
She is extremely professional and knows her stuff in and out. My husband and I appreciated her honest and direct opinions since it's always better to get a clear picture rather than give you false hopes in the home buying process. She is really well connected and well respected among her peers in the Peninsula.
—Akshata R.
The purchase of our new home ended up being a bit complicated. And Rumana gracefully walked us and the other party through the process. In fact, in both the sale of our home and purchase of our new home, I watched as Rumana provided guidance to both realtors on the other side who were obviously less experienced and familiar with doing transactions in these markets. Before these transactions, I was always a bit skeptical about using real estate agents as I had heard of others who tried to buy or sell their homes independently. Based on my experience with Rumana, I am confdent that securing her services was the best decision we could have made.
—Richard & Erika S.
