TESTIMONIALS
Client Success Stories
- "When we first interviewed her, she said "although I have many clients, it's my goal to make you feel like you are my only client" and I think she really was able to create that experience for us.
Rumana was excellent, and I would wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you have the chance."-Jeff F.Seller in San Mateo - "What can be one of the hardest, most intimidating things to do in life, Rumana makes easy and makes you feel comfortable and confident knowing that you have one of the best guiding you through it all. In one short meeting, we had a plan. I cannot recommend Rumana highly enough."- Gilberto R.Buyer/Seller in Redwood Shores
- "The best agent I have ever worked with. Big "thank you" to Rumana for selling our place at a record speed and price. I can brag about place all day long, but without your experience and hard work, this would not happen. I will definitely work with you again Rumana!!"- Max M.Seller in San Carlos
- "This transaction made very clear to me that an agent’s job has many facets – appraising, marketing and negotiating, to name a few – and that Rumana excels at all of them. I can’t imagine having done this with another agent and never even considered trying to use anyone but Rumana."- Naomi W.Seller in Hillsborough
- "Rumana helped us both selling and buying, and both went far beyond even our best hope. Selling: Her marketing was spot on. Once we get multiple offers, negotiation is where Rumana really shines.
Buying: She always puts her customer's priority first. She brought us the best possible outcome from this complex home sale & buying process. Highly recommended."- Makoto I.Seller in Foster City - "She and her team are the ultimate in professionalism and a joy to work with. All of this translated into phenomenal marketing material, both online and in print. In a very short time, we received multiple solid offers, all over asking price. Of course we would use Rumana again, both as buyers or sellers. We highly recommend Rumana for any real estate transaction."- Dan M.Seller in Burlingame

Community Expert
Like a cabby in London, I could navigate the streets of my community blindfolded. I have a narrow geographic focus to offer you an unparalleled understanding of San Mateo County cities and neighborhoods, including histories, and unique charms. My approach underscores the importance of a hyper-local perspective. By understanding and celebrating the unique strengths and characteristics of each neighborhood, I can successfully position and sell your home.
As a dedicated community expert and advocate, I've cultivated a deep and personal connection with my community. I actively participate in park events, street fairs, and cultural activities. I have built relationships with many local businesses and community leaders, to fervently support and promote our community. I also work closely with local organizations like Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA), Second Harvest Food Bank, Meadow Heights Elementary School, and I am a board member for Rebuilding Together Peninsula. I believe in giving back to our community in a meaningful way.

The Community Expert
Selling a home isn't just about comparable sales, it's about understanding how buyers perceive a neighborhood. From school boundaries and commute patterns to street appeal and community character, local knowledge directly influences pricing, marketing, and ultimately your results.
By focusing exclusively on San Mateo County communities, I provide the hyper-local insight that helps position your home to stand out. Beyond real estate, I'm an active community advocate, supporting local organizations including CORA, Second Harvest Food Bank, Meadow Heights Elementary School, and Rebuilding Together Peninsula, where I proudly serve on the Board of Directors.

Selling Options for Every Home
Whether your priority is maximizing your return, minimizing disruption, or finding the right balance between the two, I'll help you choose the strategy that best fits your goals and your property's condition.
I regularly help clients navigate situations such as:
- Selling as-is with little or no preparation
- Strategic improvements that maximize return without over-investing
- Full renovations designed to achieve the highest possible sale price
- Tenant-occupied homes requiring thoughtful coordination
- Estate, probate, and trust sales
- Downsizing, relocation, and investment property sales
Every home has a market.
The key is identifying the right strategy to attract the right buyers and maximize your outcome.
Pricing
I meticulously analyze market trends, property specifics, and regional insights to determine the most competitive yet compelling pricing strategy for your home. Together, we'll aim not just to list but to sell at the right price point, ensuring your property stands out in the market.
Strategic Pricing That Creates Demand
Pricing your home isn't about choosing a number, but positioning your home where buyers will compete for it.
I combine comparable sales with buyer search behavior, pricing psychology, current competition, and local market conditions to recommend a strategy tailored to your goals.
The right price attracts the right buyers, generates momentum early, and creates the conditions for stronger offers. My objective isn't simply to list your home, it's to position it so the market responds with confidence.
Marketing
I believe in the power of strategic marketing to elevate your property’s visibility and captivate potential buyers. You can trust me to amplify your home’s allure and maximize its exposure, providing you with a seamless, results-driven selling experience.
Marketing Designed to Reach Every Qualified Buyer
Exceptional marketing is about far more than beautiful photography. Every listing receives a customized marketing plan designed to maximize exposure, build excitement, and ensure qualified buyers discover your home wherever they're searching.
My comprehensive marketing strategy may include:
- Partial or Full Staging
- Professional photography and cinematic video
- Custom property websites and digital brochures
- Social media campaigns across multiple platforms
- Targeted digital advertising
- Email marketing to top Realtors
- Private broker outreach and networking
- Print materials and direct mail
- Maximum exposure across the MLS and leading real estate websites
Every marketing decision is made with one goal in mind: attracting the right buyers and creating the strongest possible demand for your home.
Negotiating
Leveraging my extensive knowledge and insights within the market, I develop customized negotiation strategies for each property, aiming to enhance your selling process. Focused on your objectives, I conduct intricate negotiations that ensure the best possible deals, transforming your home-selling endeavor into a rewarding and successful experience.
Protecting Your Interests From Offer to Closing
The strongest offer isn't always the first or the highest offer.
Successful negotiations require understanding every term of the contract, not just the purchase price.
I help my clients evaluate financing strength, contingencies, timing, appraisal risk, rent-back options, inspection requests, and other key terms that can dramatically impact the outcome of a sale. By managing every detail strategically, I help you move forward with confidence while protecting your financial interests from acceptance through closing.
