"She is a consummate professional and expertly shepherded us through the process from beginning (getting the home ready to show) to end (reviewing and accepting offers). Rumana Jabeen recently represented us in the sale of our townhome in Foster City. She did an excellent job and went above and beyond in helping to get the home ready to show and sell. She knows the market and was able to help us determine the right price for our home. She was particularly knowledgeable about our neighborhood and the townhome market in Foster City. She used all the resources available to get the word out about our home using online resources as well as mail and other traditional real estate options. She is friendly and efficient and responsive to our questions and concerns and easy to communicate with. She pays attention to the details, from staging the home to the documentation and paperwork. We are extremely pleased with the experience we had working with Rumana and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, dedicated, smart and friendly real estate professional."

"She has given us the maximum benefits using her professional skills. We just sold our house hiring her. Her knowledge in real estate business is excellent and also she always considers to obtain customer's benefits. I am confident that you should hire her as your good agent."

"Selling your house through Rumana is absolutely the best choice to make.

I am writing this on behalf of Rumana Jabeen, our realtor and friend. This letter is long, but I think it’s important for you to understand specifically how and why selling your house through Rumana is absolutely the best choice to make. We came to know Rumana years before selling our house. We met her one day as she personally dropped by our house to give us a beautiful calendar she had made with pictures of our house. She was personally getting to know everyone in the neighborhood. Over the following months and years, my wife and I were continually impressed by the effective and ongoing ways that Rumana marketed herself and the properties she represented. A little background, my wife and I are part-time real estate investors. We spent many Saturdays and Sundays driving around, looking at open houses, noticing how the house was presented, and how the agent handled each property. Long before selling our house, we noticed Rumana as several steps above the rest. This showed in many ways. First, Rumana would have the properties on open house on Saturdays and Sundays, thereby gaining more market exposure. Many agents only have open houses on Sundays, cutting their exposure in half. Second, Rumana always had clear, well-placed signs at several intersections to direct traffic to the house. The address was always clearly displayed on the sign. The sign in the yard was prominent, the fliers in color, and colorful balloons were attached to the sign that would move in the wind, gaining the attention of passers by. This made the properties easier to find. Third, a website address would be included on the sign where buyers could go to get a virtual tour. Once again, many agents do not do this. This is important during the week, evenings, etc. when the house is not open to the public except by appointment. This made the properties easier to see. Fourth, we often received postcards from Rumana telling us about homes in our neighborhood that were coming on the market. This is important because often the people in a given neighborhood know people who would like to move into the area, especially in a tight market such as we live in. We received at least 2 additional offers this way. Fifth, the properties were always staged, and staged by professionals. This makes a property look its very best and helps bring the best price. Buyers feel “at home” and want to move in immediately. Lastly, Rumana also would have warm food available at the open house, something that few agents do. Studies have shown that buyers are more likely to buy if you can get as many senses involved as possible, taste and smell included! Besides, who doesn’t have a positive emotional response to the smell of freshly baked cookies? All of these might sound to some like tedious details, but each of these makes it easier for more buyers to find the house, see the house, and enjoy the house at its best, producing more offers and higher prices in the end. This is what makes Rumana better, she does all the right things to product the best results for her clients. When it came time to sell our house, it was a no-brainer, we had to have Rumana. We had seen how she marketed herself, and how she marketed the properties she represented. We were beyond impressed. When I went to look up her telephone number to ask her to represent us, I laughed. I was standing in the kitchen, and her number was on 3 of the 4 magnetic items that were stuck to our refrigerator. I didn’t have to take a single step! Once again, her marketing efforts were working! To make things interesting, we only gave her a few days notice before the home needed to be on sale. Rumana was great. She walked us through the process, and scheduled everything just right to fit our schedule. She orchestrated inspectors, stagers, landscapers, photographers, paperwork, and all of her print and web marketing. She pulled everything off just as she said she would. We didn’t have to make a single phone call, except to Rumana. Rumana took us through the piles of California paperwork, and patiently answered every one of our questions. When it came time to open offers, we were thrilled. We had 12 offers at a time when the overall market was tightening, and ALL the offers were well over the listing price. We had offers that came from neighbors, relatives of neighbors, people who had seen the website, etc. It was further proof that Rumana’s marketing plan had worked! Throughout the presentation process, Rumana was right on top of all the details of every offer. She spotted the smallest of issues with each offer and advised us accordingly. These are only some of the reasons we are so happy with our choice of Rumana as our realtor. I could go on. Suffice it to say, we highly recommend choosing her. You won’t be disappointed."

"I can’t tell you enough how grateful we are to have Rumana Jabeen as our Real Estate Agent! My husband Scott Campbell and I have known Rumana Jabeen over ten years. Rumana has been our Real Estate Agent over the last few years. Our first experience working with Rumana was in 2003. We were living in Fairfield, CA and wanted to relocate back in the Bay Area. I contacted Rumana asking if she could help us find a new home. Rumana jumped right on it and had several listings for us to look at. Rumana found a town home that was perfect for our family and was right price range. Unfortunately, another family bid higher than we did, but Rumana suggested that we put a back up offer just in case. With that said, for what ever reason the other offer fell through and we were able to own out first home in the Bay Area. Over a period of time, we out grew our town home and wanted to upgrade to a bigger place. Again, I contacted Rumana to let her know what we wanted to do. Rumana suggested that we stage our town home before putting it on the market. With her professional input on the staging process, we ere satisfied with the overall appearance. With all of Rumana’s hard work and dedication, we had an offer after just three days of being on the market. We successfully closed escrow on our town home in August of 2006. Shortly after we sold out town home, we were actively looking for a new home. Again, 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. We also successfully closed escrow on our new home in August of 2006. I can’t tell you enough how grateful we are to have Rumana Jabeen as our Real Estate Agent! She is personable, sweet, caring and completely dedicated in every way. Rumana is an absolute Asset to your company."

"Everything about our experience was positive and I would absolutely work with Rumana again -- buying or selling -- if the need should arise. I worked with Rumana on the sale of my mother's home in Belmont, CA in February of this year (2016) and could not have imagined a better experience. There were many challenging aspects to this sale: I live out of state; my mother is 90 years old and was living in the house; the home was older with no updates. Not only did Rumana take over every aspect of the preparation for sale (inspections; scheduling necessary work; clearly, and kindly, engaging my mom in every part of the process) but her negotiating skills with the buyer we're top-notch. We sold the home in less than 30 days and got a price nearly 25% above our highest expectation! She also negotiated plenty of time for my mom to make the move."

"Needless to say, I was very pleased to have selected her as my agent. I wanted to sell my condo in Foster City. One of my neighbors, who was familiar with other properties in the neighborhood that Rumana had sold, recommended that I consider her to be my realtor. After meeting with Rumana and learning about her strategy and skills for marketing and selling real estate, I chose her to be my realtor. Rumana was knowledgeable about my neighborhood and my condominium complex and very helpful in setting my price. She listened to my goals and priorities and worked in a cooperative manner. She recommended the preparations I should make before putting my property on the market. Plus she connected me with vendors, such as inspectors, painting contractors, and cleaners, who were able to complete their work in a satisfactory and timely manner. Her marketing strategies were skillful and thorough. After my property was on the market less than two weeks, I received multiple offers and sold my condo above list. Throughout, Rumana was readily available, easy to communicate with, and congenial as a partner. I highly recommend her as a realtor."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!! In our book, you’re the #1 Realtor and friend. Dear Rumana Words cannot express my deep heart-filled gratitude to you for shepherding Everett and me through the preparation and sale of my home at 280 Duck Ct. Having lived in the homes since 1966, there was much work to be done to make it saleable, and you engineered that work-always keeping the lines of communication between us open, as to work to be done and the cost to do it. I trusted your judgment all the way thru and it paid off handsomely. We were thrilled when you got $1,605,000 for the home."

"Very knowledgeable and professional.

She had all the referrals to services I needed to prepare my house for sale. My house sold very quickly and for over the asking price. I highly recommend her."

"Rumana is an amazing Realtor. Her knowledge of the market is extensive and current... Rumana is a strong and capable negotiator. She is honest, direct and an outstanding communicator.

Rumana is an amazing Realtor. Her knowledge of the market is extensive and current. She utilizes cutting edge technology, (text, emails, marketing) and is also available personally for questions and/or concerns. Rumana is organized and efficient and works with a professional team. She coordinated the various projects which enabled me to continue my work with the least amount of disruption. Rumana is a strong and capable negotiator. She is honest, direct and an outstanding communicator. I recommend her completely, without reservation. Rumana made selling our house as stress free as possible and we were very happy with the results."

"With a sale price far above what we had expected… solely due to Rumana’s firm but fair approach to negotiating.

Dear Prospective Clients, It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter to tell you about Rumana Jabeen. Our family (my husband, Rob, and daughters Maya and Kati) made the difficult decision to sell our beautiful home in Foster City in late 2009. My first task was to find a realtor who could sell a house in a reasonable amount of time in a soft housing market while still helping us get a reasonable sale price. For years we had been getting Rumana’s promotional materials in the mail and seeing her beautiful face on one realty sign after another in the neighborhood. My thought was that if she is as good a realtor as she is a marketer, she will be right for us. Then I realized that a realtor is a marketer and her sales skills for homes must be as good as her sales skills for her client outreach. I found Rumana’s contact information on the web and called her January 2nd, 2009. She greeted me with energy and was available to meet with me within the week. I showed her around the house and she was interested in every detail. Within another few days, she had put together a packet of information about our house, her recommended list price and lots of other useful information about comparable home sales. I was astonished at the length she had gone to to show us what she would be offering us in her services if we decided to retain her as our agent. She took the process seriously and that gave me the trust in her that she would attend to the details of the whole sale process with the same level of intelligence, attention to detail and excellence. What a professional! Needless to say, we asked her to be our agent and she got right to work. We first worked together on getting the house ready for sale. She had her own recommended service people available to perform the work at half the cost that others would have charged. The outcome of the work was so beautiful. While the work was being done, Rumana, herself maintained daily contact with the workers and with me to keep me apprised of the progress and any minor issues that came up so that there wouldn’t be any time delays in getting the house on the market. The house was finally ready to be put on the market. Rumana conducted an all out marketing campaign with web presence, open house, and print advertisement. The home had never looked so beautiful. We couldn’t believe how magnificent it looked to prospective buyers. In a market that had 40 homes for sale (Foster City), we received 3 offers within the first week on the market. We accepted one of the offers and Rumana walked us through all the complex legal paperwork and decisions that need to be made when entering a home sale contract. We closed sale on the home within a few months of our first call to Rumana with a sale price far above what we had expected when we first contacted her and this is solely due to Rumana’s firm but fair approach to negotiating with the buyer of our home for the best price for us as home sellers. We have told Rumana to keep our phone number because we will be calling her when we buy our next house in a few years. We only hope she is still working in the area by then and hasn’t gone national! Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or simply if you want to hear more stories about Rumana’s incredible service as a realtor."

One of my favorite aspects of working with Alina was learning about their work ethic. Without ever pressuring them into anything they are not interested in, she’s highly dedicated and passionate about assisting folks in finding their dream house.

"She answered my questions directly, with opinions backed by confidence and experience. To Whom It May Concern: I'd like to recommend Rumana Jabeen, a realtor that I used to both sell my home in Foster City and buy my new home in Belmont. Rumana is one of the most well prepared and skilled professionals I have met. And she clearly loves what she does. I would unequivocally recommend Rumana to my closest friends who are looking to buy or sell a home on the peninsula. I decided to move forward with Rumana after interviewing five agents in person. I originally chose to work with Rumana for a number of reasons, but most importantly, because she answered my questions directly, with opinions backed by confidence and experience. Almost every other agent I spoke with provided very vague non-answers, likely to avoid saying something that I didn't want to hear. Rumana provided very specific answers to my questions and was not afraid to put a stake in the ground when I asked for her opinion. Throughout the sales process, Rumana provided me with very thoughtful guidance. She gave strong recommendations for repairs to do on the home which would likely provide a strong return for the cost. Rumana also gave direct guidance on how to price my home, given the competitive landscape. She had an unbelievable understanding of the market and knew exactly when competing homes were expected to hit the market. Timing was critical when we sold our home since there weren't many direct competitors at the time. We priced the home at a level where we both felt confident we would reach my target sales price. We received multiple offers and I was extremely pleased that we sold the home at a price significantly higher than what I was expecting! I credit both Rumana's negotiating skills (I was quite amazed watching her talk to the various agents) as well as her thoughtful and comprehensive marketing plans. Rumana impressed my wife and I so much with the process of selling our home that we decided to also use her to buy our next home. After a fairly short search, we found a home that we loved. And Rumana again provided extremely insightful guidance. Most importantly, I felt throughout the process very confident that Rumana was going to ensure that we made the right decisions that would make us happy. 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 them homes independently. Based on my experience with Rumana, I am confident that securing her services was the best decision we could have made."

"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.

To Whom It May Concern: In September or October 2008, I told Rumana Jabeen that I wanted her to list my Hillsborough home for sale. I didn’t ask her about possibly listing it; I told her to sell it. The reasons were complex and had it not been for a serious medical situation involving my daughter that dragged on some nine months (longer than expected), I would have listed the home for sale sooner. By the time the medical situation was resolved, the real estate market was heading down, and in September/October 2008, the stock market crashed and indeed, the entire economy was in turmoil. This was definitely not the time to sell real estate if it could possibly be avoided, but I simply could not wait any longer. So into the absolutely treacherous market we ventured. Rumana had sold my previous Hillsborough home (in a much different market) and I knew exactly what to expect from her. Together we very carefully priced it aggressively; we assessed what needed to be painted or repaired; we did the inspections; we determined how it should be staged and marketed. Inevitably, unforeseen problems (having to do with the swimming pool, drainage on the lot, rodent and possible mold infestation) had to be researched, evaluated and solved, both before the house went on the market and after the necessary disclosures to the prospective purchasers. 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. She does them with exquisite attention to detail, honesty and total commitment to what is best for her client. The first open house was November 2, 2008. Escrow closed December 12, 2008. People are simply incredulous that we pulled it off. I can’t imagine having done this with another agent and never even considered trying to use anyone but Rumana. If you absolutely must sell your home, no matter the market or economic climate, you will need to use the very best talent in the industry and, without question, that includes Rumana Jabeen."

"She came through with every promise she made to us. To whom it may concern, Rumana Jabeen was our first choice to help us sell our home. We knew of her from several home sales in our area. Rumana made us promises regarding the sale of our home, including the amount of time it would take to sell it. Well, she came through with every promise she made to us. Rumana also got us several thousand dollars over our asking price. We would recommend her above all the rest. If you want your home to be sold, she is the right person for the job. She is both professional, and a lot of fun to work with. These qualities make her a great sales person and realtor."

"Nothing big or small ever escaped Rumana’s notice. We are writing to thank you for being such a wonderful selling agent for our house. With the real estate market being somewhat unsettled at this time, you managed to sell the house in six days at a price favorably higher than the asking – an accomplishment for which we are very grateful. Looking back on your involvement with our house, we are particularly struck with five parts of your performance: • Your attention to detail: nothing big or small ever escaped your notice. Your 300 plus page disclosure package was astounding. • Your willingness to go extra mile: every planned event went off without a hitch and all were very well received – open houses both Saturday and Sunday, neighbor luncheon etc. • Your wonderful support team: everyone we worked with met all our expectations, the talented stager, Barbara Ross, with wonderful vision; the expert engineer who you call “handyman” and his crew who appeared at a moment’ notice to fix all things structural or electrical. • Your reliability: you were always prompt to our meetings, kept your word, and did what you promised. • Your attitude: your patience and cheerfulness was infectious and we truly appreciate and enjoyed our time with you. You are a true professional and we can recommend you with no reservation."

"She was extremely professional, very responsive and made the whole process easy for us. Rumana helped us sell our house in Foster City last October. She is an excellent realtor and really knows the peninsula housing market. She was extremely professional, very responsive and made the whole process easy for us. After she and her team were done refreshing the house before putting it up in market, it looked amazing! Our house was sold over asking. Overall we are extremely happy with our experience working with Rumana and her team and won’t hesitate recommending her to anyone."

"She gained my trust right on our first meeting. It helps a lot to sell a house if your agent is experienced and knowledgeable and that's what happened to me. Having Rumana as my agent made my stress level less because she does most of the work and has answers to all my questions and needs. She is very honest and very dependable. I would highly recommend Rumana to homeowners that are planning to sell their house. I don't know how she did it I'm sure it's hard work but with my house's problem I would just be happy to have it sold to the list price but when the time for an offer we had 4 and they were all good offers. Even after I sold my house she is still in contact with me and I could still call her for questions and inquiries."

"Her real estate knowledge, experience and hard work were significant factors in the successful sale of my Mother's home... In the end, her advice on every aspect of this sale was right on target. My family could not be more pleased with the experience and result.

I highly recommend Rumana Jabeen and her team. Her real estate knowledge, experience and hard work were significant factors in the successful sale of my Mother's home. Rumana has a keen understanding of the peninsula real estate market and, together with her savvy marketing skills, helped us prepare the house for sale, establish the right listing price, manage multiple offers and ultimately secure a sales price well above asking. Because I am located out of state, Rumana had to deal with the added complication of a long distance transaction. She was always calm and professional and accurately predicted how the selling process would unfold. Working with her was one of the best real estate experiences I have had. In the end, her advice on every aspect of this sale was right on target. My family could not be more pleased with the experience and result. Real estate sellers would be well advised to select her as their agent."

"This is the type of "above and beyond" Rumana is well known for. We had the pleasure of working with Rumana to purchase a single-family home in Redwood City. In what is a very difficult market for buyers (good places have multiple offers, bidding wars), we were able to visit several properties and get the one we wanted thanks to Rumana - who worked with us over Memorial Day weekend, gave up some plans she made with her family, just so she could get the offer ready and to the sellers agent before anyone else could. This is the type of "above and beyond" Rumana is well known for. She is very courteous, diligent and knowledgeable about the local market. We highly recommend her!! Having recently worked with Rumana to buy our new single-family home in Redwood City - we couldn't think of a better person to work with to sell our old town-home in Foster City. Rumana not only connected us with a great handyman and made sure all the necessary upgrades and repairs were done on time, she also arranged for a great stager, gardener, cleaner etc., even a Google calendar to let us know exactly when each of them would be working, put the place on the market right on time and then worked really hard - staying up till midnight, helping us choose between competing offers. If you want a thorough, thoughtful and reliable agent who is unquestionably dedicated to making her clients happy - look no further - Rumana is the most experienced in the peninsula and in our opinion, the best!"

"In a world where few people simply do what they say they are going to do, Rumana Jabeen truly stands out. We interviewed a few different realtors to represent us in selling our home. My wife and I thought Rumana was clearly the best person and we hired her. At every point along the way, Rumana and her team did what they said they were going to do. She also told us she was very adept at all aspects of marketing (I am a marketer by trade) and that her greatest skill is as a negotiator. The marketing execution was fantastic and all smaller details were executed flawlessly, which generated eight offers for our house and a selling price in the high end of what we had hoped we would achieve! Clearly, we are incredibly happy we hired Rumana and would highly recommend her to anyone who asks."

"Her familiarity with the local market and knowledge of the home features buyers seek enabled me to receive top dollar offers on my home. Rumana was my listing agent for the sale of my townhouse at 130 Beach Park Blvd in Foster City. Her proactive and enhanced marketing activities reached out to buyers near and far. She and her team were great to work with from our initial meeting to the staging of the townhouse to the sale process now in escrow. I highly recommend Rumana Jabeen to anyone seeking a Real Estate Professional to help with their real estate needs."

"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.

Rumana came highly recommended by our lender when we were looking for a buyer's agent for our first home. We met with her knowing very little about the local market or real estate in general. She very patiently walked us through the whole process, answered all our questions, and set expectations on what we should be looking at given our budget. She never showed us anything outside our price range, and we never felt any pressure to move forward until we found the right place. Once we found a home we liked, Rumana got us all the paperwork and walked us through everything, step by step so we understood everything we were looking at. She helped us determine a good offer price and approached the sellers with an early offer which they accepted. We were first time home buyers who had their first offer accepted all thanks to her. Throughout the closing process, we got the same level of attention as she walked us through everything that needed to be done. She was present at the closing to answer any last minute questions and to make sure we understood everything we were signing. After the closing, Rumana stayed in contact with us over the years, inviting us to yearly events that we came to look forward to. Pie giveaways during the holidays, movie screenings, and the annual picnic where we saw many of her other clients who had similar exceptional experiences. It's no surprise that when it came time to sell our home, hiring Rumana was a foregone conclusion. I received a new job offer and had to orchestrate a cross-country move in under a month. We called Rumana to schedule a meeting to go over what needed to be done to get the unit ready to sell. As I was panicking thinking of all the people we'd have to hire and coordinate while planning a move, Rumana smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's part of the service I provide." She showed us a plan for everything she would arrange to have done for the property and the entire marketing package. In one short meeting, we had a plan, and I felt confident everything was in good hands. As the process got underway she was in constant communication with us giving us updates on everything she was scheduling and preparing, and even sat with us for a couple of hours going over the disclosure documents to answer all our questions. When the time came for us to move, I handed over the keys and knew everything would be taken care of. In just over 2 weeks from the day we moved out, the property was inspected, painted, fixed up, staged, and on the market, all while we were on the other side of the country. We received immediate feedback on all the tours and open houses and advice on timing given the current market conditions. In the end, we were astonished by the number of offers we received after just a few days on the market. Rumana's knowledge and the entire team she works with had given our property amazing exposure and secured us several offers that exceeded not only our expectations but even our optimistic hopes. I cannot recommend Rumana highly enough. From her experience to her team, to her professionalism and personal attention, everything about our experience with her has been exceptional."

"When I first contacted her after receiving the mailers of her listings, I could tell right away that she is professional, easy to work with and well organized. When I decided to sell the townhouse, I dreaded the hassle of remodeling after more than 30 years of renting it. Talking with Rumana Jabeen on the phone, I was impressed by how knowledgeable she was about what improvements need to be done to attract the most buyers. With her excellent taste in design and my input, she chose the best colors, styles, and materials for my townhouse. The workers Rumana knew and trusted did an outstanding job and completed the remodel on schedule. It was always a pleasure to communicate with Rumana and her staff. When I first contacted her after receiving the mailers of her listings, I could tell right away that she is professional, easy to work with and well organized. She did an excellent job of negotiating the best possible price. I am so happy I chose her as my agent and I couldn’t recommend her more highly."

"What we liked the most, however, was her positive approach - we never felt unsure about the process or the outcome, and we never worried about leaving this transaction in Rumana's hands. Rumana was a wonderful partner in the sale of our home. She was very prepared, extremely communicative, fun to work with, and always proactive. What we liked the most, however, was her positive approach - we never felt unsure about the process or the outcome, and we never worried about leaving this transaction in Rumana's hands. We heartily recommend Rumana!"

"She is savvy in all aspects of selling a house - from curb appeal and staging to marketing and promoting the listing, to analyzing offers and negotiations. It was an absolute pleasure working with Rumana! She is the ultimate professional, really knows the market, has fantastic insight and a depth of experience in the process, and provides unparalleled service. From our very first meeting with her - where she introduced herself, her strategies and plans, and her services - I knew she was the perfect choice to represent us in the sale of our home. As we went through the process, she far exceeded my expectations. Rumana was extremely responsive, had contacts for all the different services we needed, acted as a great sounding board and knowledge base for all the questions we had, and was very proactive. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rumana and I would have her represent me in a heartbeat again."

"She is a fine person as well as a dynamite realtor. Rumana is friendly yet thoroughly professional in every way. She is an excellent communicator, always 'on top' of everything, knows and manages good service people, and her attention to detail is impressive. We felt first and foremost, Rumana always had our best interest at heart."

"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 represented us as our sellers' agent as we sold our home in San Mateo and she did a wonderful job. We approached Rumana initially because she had been sending us marketing materials (pads, pamphlets) consistently for more than 10 years, and we liked the tenacity and marketing savvy that she displayed, and figured those were among the core skills for a great sellers agent. During the initial interview, we found her to be really straightforward and especially concerned with transparency and good expectation setting, which worked well for our style. Once we signed on with her, we set to work on getting the house ready to sell. She recommended and coordinated folks for us to work with on all aspects (staging, painting, curb appeal, handymen) including getting competitive quotes where it made sense, and the vendors, in turn, did smooth, good work. It was a huge amount of work for us to get the house ready, but having Rumana and her team engaged so closely with everything that could be hired out, made it much easier. She and her team created a really impressive website, complete with an aerial fly-in and great photos, and well as brochures and other materials to really let prospective buyers see the house with the same appreciation that we've had from living in it. She did a number of showings, both weekday twilight tours and weekend open houses, and after each one gave us an update on both the interest level from agents and potential buyers, as well as a general update on the market and where our expectations should be in terms of price and time to sell. Finally, she was very helpful and present during all the paperwork-ish parts of the endeavor, with reminders where appropriate for us to move things along, and being available for frequent phone calls to answer questions. So bottom line, Rumana was excellent, and I would wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you have the chance."

"I felt she would be the most qualified to sell our home. She did not disappoint.

We selected Rumana because as a Sales Executive most of my life I recognized that she had the tenacity and a great understanding of her business and great marketing skills. I felt she would be the most qualified to sell our home. She did not disappoint. Her attention to detail in both the paperwork and the property was very welcome. As a resulted of her hard work we accepted an offer over the listing price two days after the open house."

"She gave us great advice and got us a solid offer within a week of putting our house on the market. She was able to get us 9% over the asking price. We met Rumana at an open house and we were very much impressed with her knowledge, professionalism, and experience of the real estate market. When we decided to sell our home we called Rumana and we were not disappointed. She responds very quickly to every text, email, and phone call. We would definitely recommend Rumana to anyone who is selling a home. Could not have done it without her!"

"She meets target above expectations.

Rumana is very very professional. I recently had an opportunity to work with her. She is dedicated, hard working real estate broker."

"She is very dedicated, determined & applies the right strategy to get you what you want.

Selling a house can be unintuitive, especially in a fluctuating market! We interviewed a lot of realtors, but that one meeting with Rumana got us clarity in making the decision of selling. And we are glad for having made the right choice. Why Rumana? Experience matters: Period! Rumana is a well-seasoned realtor who is in Real Estate Business for 20 + years! She is very dedicated, determined & applies the right strategy to get you what you want. Overall we are very happy with our Sale and look forward to buying our next home with her."

"We interviewed many agents before picking Rumana and many of them had a lower commission but we are so glad we picked her!

We had an amazing experience working with Rumana! She is very knowledgeable, very prepared and on top of everything! She was extremely responsive to all of our requests and questions, and she knew far more than we ever hoped to about the process of selling our home. We expected to be so stressed during the selling of our home but she made it so easy and stress-free. We got offers after 5 days on the market which was beyond our expectation! Her negotiation skills are remarkable, she was able to get us the price we wanted and made it seem so simple. We interviewed many agents before picking Rumana and many of them had a lower commission but we are so glad we picked her! Rumana was worth every penny! She is incredible!"

"Rumana helped us both selling and buying, and both went far beyond even our best hope. Selling: We did remodeling before selling the house. Rumana managed the entire project from design decisions, assembling the team to project management. The result was just remarkable. The remodel itself increased the home value by $100k, easily covered what we spent for remodeling and gained more. Her marketing was also spot on. She knows target buyers and made every single detail appeal to them, aesthetic, pricing, reach, etc, etc. As a result, we got 6 offers, which was unusual for the marketing condition of the time. Once we get multiple offers, negotiation is where Rumana really shines. She talked with the bidders and got the best result out of it, the price of course but also she checked the buyer's lender, financial situation, etc, to make sure that the contract would not go wrong. We as sellers think the realtor's commission is too high. But Rumana got back a good chunk of it just by negotiation. Some realtors offer a lower commission than others. I would not recommend choosing a realtor just by 1% or so the difference in commission because a good realtor could make a 10% difference in a transaction. Buying: we were not that lucky to utilize Rumana's excellent negotiation skill because we were one of the multiple offers. But her wide network played a crucial role here instead. Our initial offer was not the best offer. It was our first offer, and we knew the house would be sold more than what we had offered. But the seller's agent knew Rumana so well so that the seller gave us a counter offer! Trust among realtors matter during a real estate transaction. Rumana knows it and she has earned her trust over 20 years in business. Rumana went on a long-planned vacation when we signed a contract. We had some hiccup during the contract. She spent the first several days of her vacation on solving the issue, literally calling all different parties involved until everything settled. She always puts her customer's priority. All in all, we are grateful that we chose Rumana as our realtor. She brought us the best possible outcome from this complex home sale & buy process. Highly recommended."

"We used Rumana and her team to sell our Foster City home and we couldn't be happier at the whole process and the results.

Rumana did a great job marketing our house. Her expertise in negotiating and the contract/paperwork gauntlet was very evident and greatly appreciated. She and Jesseca, her assistant, got back to us immediately when we called them. We highly recommend Rumana Jabeen as a seller's agent and can imagine she would be just as impressive if you are looking to buy."

"I would unhesitatingly and eagerly work with Rumana at every possible opportunity.

I've worked with Rumana twice: First when I bought my San Carlos home and again when I sold it in November 2019. I had phenomenal experiences both times. Rumana's knowledge of the market, her negotiating skills, her attention to detail, and her work ethic are exemplary. She is a wealth of information and responsive to questions and concerns, as are her associates. She made the process easy and I could not have asked for better outcomes on either of my transactions. Regardless of whether I'm buying or selling a property, I would unhesitatingly and eagerly work with Rumana at every possible opportunity."

"You can trust her to do what's in your best interest. Rumana just sold our townhome in Foster City for $55k over asking in a soft market! You can trust her to do what's in your best interest."

"Amazing team! Amazing work!

As a single mom with 2 kids - it was a headache for me what to do, how to sell and how to prepare my house. Rumana and her team did all work for me! They scheduled inspection, cleaning, carpeting, floor fixing, painting and staging. Mostly I like, that I had a 2 or 3 choices between vendors they provided to me. As a result- my house was ready for an open house in less than 2 weeks. Plus 2 weeks on the market and I got a few offers. All selling process was very smooth and easy for me, without any delay or problems. I'm glad that I chose them! Thanks a lot!"

"We felt secure knowing that our listing was in her capable hand. Rumana helped us list and sell our condo in Foster City the second time around. Her persistent efforts were able to find the right buyer even in a slowing market. We were especially impressed by her marketing efforts and communication skills. Rumana was very professional in her dealings and on top of the next steps at each step. We felt secure knowing that our listing was in her capable hands. We had a great experience having her as our agent!"

"We're very happy with the results.

Rumana was very professional and proactive in getting our home ready to sell for the best price possible. We got 7% over our asking price due to her diligence in getting every detail ready. We liked the way she walked us through every step of the way. She always took our calls and got back to us in handling all our questions very promptly."

"She was such a Quintessential Professional, as well as a calming presence during a very fast-moving & somewhat stressful time.

Rumana Jabeen of Keller Williams is the absolute best person to represent you when you are selling your home !!!! We sold our house in less than a week & got way more than we dreamed of. My husband & I valued her ability to co-ordinate everything so seamlessly & quickly. Once we started, it was like being on a fast-moving train. I do believe she could run a country. Thank you, thank you."

"We definitely benefited from her extensive experience in real estate and were delighted with the end result. I've known Rumana and her husband Michael socially for many years. When my mother passed away, I needed someone I could trust to handle the sale of my mother's home, so I reached out to Rumana. She didn't disappoint! It is difficult to sell a home that has been in the family your entire life and Rumana was very sensitive in dealing with me and my siblings. She was exceedingly professional, knowledgeable, and always available to chat or provide assistance. My family appreciated her transparency, her accessibility, wise advice and we always felt she was looking after our best interests. Several times we needed to rely on her in a pinch and she always came through. That's the difference between a good realtor and a great one! The marketing she did was amazing and the home sold quickly. Rumana also has a great team supporting her and they did an outstanding job as well. If you are looking for a professional and dedicated realtor who gets results, don't hesitate to contact Rumana."

"She provided everything we could've hoped for in an agent. Rumana provided a fantastic experience when selling our home. She made it turnkey - we moved out, gave her the keys, and never had to think about cleaning, staging, repairs, etc. We just signed the forms she handed us to sign, and she got it on the market on the date she was aiming for. And then she got us a much better sale price than we were anticipating!"

"With Rumana Jabeen by your side, you can be confident you are getting an exceptional agent who will have your best interests at heart. In the last decade and a half, Rumana has been our trusted real estate agent through four property transactions and has consistently exceeded our expectations and gotten us the highest price as a seller, while helping us buy homes with the best strategy in mind. Along with her experience and wisdom of the market, she also possesses so many intangible qualities that make her a complete powerhouse of an agent. Rumana is remarkably keen, has excellent communication skills, is a masterful negotiator while having the utmost integrity and forthright honesty. Rumana and her team take marketing to another level, giving your property the maximum level of exposure via digital spaces including social media and mailers. She has an extensive and trusted network of professionals that help her close deals quickly and with proficiency. We cannot thank Rumana and her team enough for their professionalism and focused care from beginning to end."

"She is very knowledgeable and understands the market well. Rumana helped us both buy and sell our 2nd home. As a selling agent, she and her associates are very thorough and professional in preparing our house for market by connecting and working with various contractors. Everything is right on schedule. Really appreciate Rumana's help."

"Rumana did an excellent job in helping me sell my home in the Bay Area. Rumana and her team sold my place with price higher than what I was asking for within less than a week. Rumana was ethic and direct without a nonsense approach. And I'm going to quote another of her client's feedback because it's very true that "she has a very keen sense of the market and doesn't sugar coat what it takes to sell a house". Thank you, Rumana."

"We could not be happier with the help that she provided us! Rumana guided us through the complicated process of selling our Bay Area home in the most smooth, supportive way we could imagine. She answered all of our questions, no matter how small, and was incredibly informed on the entire process. She's so knowledgeable and professional."

"All in all, you would not go wrong with Rumana as your agent. When I sell my property, I have a family situation which makes it hard for me to focus. Rumana is understanding and helps me out a lot. What I like most is she tells you what kind of remodeling should be done to be worth it, and yet not overdo it. She offers to even coordinate all the remodeling with contractors she knows. I did not get to use that service, but for me, that is the first time I see a realtor offer that. Her negotiating skills are also superb. When a buyer's agent tries to lowball the offer, she shows the buyer similar properties in the complex that was sold and lets the buyer's agent know not to waste their time in lowballing."

"Rumana is a master at her trade and has a built a stellar team to support her business.

She is passionate about her work which is evident in all she does. Her expertise in the real estate industry is bar none with her exceptional negotiation skills and her repeated success in both the selling and buying of homes for her clients. We were blessed with the opportunity to work with Rumana in selling our home of 18 years. We know for a fact that we would not have attained such successful results without Rumana as our realtor, but what we appreciated most was Rumana’s was her understanding of how personal and stressful it can be to sell one’s home. She was by our side and helped guide us every step of the way. If you are looking for a realtor you can trust and a realtor who is guaranteed to achieve the best possible results on your behalf…we highly recommend you call Rumana Jabeen of Rumana Jabeen & Associates"

"A wonderful professional with a good support team at your disposal. I highly recommend Rumana. Just closed on selling my home with Rumana and her team's help. After the initial meeting with her, I trusted that she was the professional to get the job done and my instincts were correct. Rumana made the selling process easy and seamless from start to finish. She helped, using her contacts, to get my home ready to sell - completely painless on my end! All communication was professional and timely and she happily answered all my questions along the way."

"Professional from start to finish.

I have used many brokers in the past. I will only use Rumana Jabeen and her very talented team (they are equally excellent) in the future. It's just that simple. My wife and I have sold numerous properties in Foster City. We wish we had more to sell, as we would now use Rumana exclusively. She is no-nonsense and delivers exactly what she promises: the best deal possible. She quarterbacked our renovation, using license contractors that did great work at reasonable prices. Our input was taken and seamlessly woven into the work by her contractors. The end result was just what we hoped we would have, and proof of the pudding, it sold quickly with multiple offers decidedly above asking price. From a seller's vantage point, it just doesn't get much better than this. Rumana and her very talented support team are the cat's meow. The only way to go."

"She did not disappoint.

We had met Rumana many times at local open houses over the years and knew that we would enlist her whenever the time came for us to sell our townhouse in Foster City. She did not disappoint. We were first-time sellers, and Rumana was very careful to walk us through every step of the process, including advising us on what work we should do on our property before listing and what was not worth doing. She was upfront about all costs and made sure we understood what our obligations would be and what she would cover. The staging, photos, and videos of our property were amazing, so much that we joked that maybe WE should buy this amazing property. Given the current state of the market we expected our house to sell over the asking price, but the final offer was far above our wildest expectations. That said, we were sold on working with Rumana long before the actual sale."

"The best agent I've ever worked with - or known of - by a big margin.

Rumana and her team did a remarkable job of advising my sister and me just what repairs and cosmetic changes would be best for selling our late mother's house in Foster City, and making the process of getting them done so painless I couldn't believe it (given my experience with contractors in the Bay Area in particular). The team was responsive to our big and small concerns and made excellent decisions about timing and pricing (and always talked such decisions over with us). Frankly, Rumana is such a high-volume agent that I was concerned that she and her team wouldn't be empathetic or deal with the inevitable speed bumps and worries in a timely fashion (like a neighbor who had issues with a fence repair). But they responded immediately and with concern and skill. A warm and no-nonsense team - with deep knowledge of little things on everything from construction to contracts and wisdom about the big things that matter most."

"Rumana and her team maintained a clear timeline for the whole process, kept us informed, and handled the process in a very professional way. We sold our home in Foster city recently with Rumana and her team's help. I'd highly recommend Rumana because: 1) her attention to details was outstanding. She spent quite some time at our place, carefully reviewed the details, and suggested what changes to home bring value without us spending too much $$$. 2) she provided her contacts for contractor related and other services. they were awesome, did very good job at a very reasonable price thanks to Rumana for pricing negotiations. 3) patiently explained all our questions throughout the process. Easy to work with. 4) has good contacts for lenders and other real estate agents. The lender she suggested was awesome. We were also planning to buy a home in south bay and she helped us find a good agent for our home purchase in south bay 5) overall, we were happy with the whole process."

"Rumana did a fantastic job and got our home sold within days after listing.

It was quick, efficient and very professional. Rumana was attentive and responsive to our needs every step of the way. We highly recommend Rumana. You will not be disappointed."

"We couldn't have asked for a better partnership. Rumana is terrific! She has great attention to detail, is always available to answer questions, and really goes above and beyond. She and her team made the home selling process stress-free."

"Rumana is a tremendous help when buying or selling real estate. Rumana was a great help with selling my house. She was always very professional when doing the open house. Her advice in getting the house ready for sale was greatly appreciated. Rumana took the time to explain everything to me and she also made sure I understood the paperwork for the transactions. I will highly recommend her services to anyone who is either ready to sell a house or buy a house."

"No-nonsense person, very direct, and a clear communicator. Rumana helped my wife and I sell our townhome and purchase a new single-family home. She was wonderful to work with, made sure we had all the information needed to make a sound decision, and was a Bulldog when it came to negotiations. She is very very good at what she does, cares about her clients, and is more than just an agent, she has become one of our friends. She knows exactly what to do in any scenario, and is confident in her skills. We've had nothing but the best experience with her and her team, we definitely recommend her services for any Real Estate needs. She educates her clients on how the game works, and will always be truthful with information and her opinion. She should be on "Million Dollar Listing" because she is a badass!"

"If you are in the market to buy or sell a home and want the very best, a team of professionals whom you can absolutely trust to deliver the best results, we highly recommend Rumana Jabeen & Associates.

We first met Rumana 20 years ago when we just happened to stop by an Open House she was holding in Redwood Shores. We were first-time home buyers and had very little knowledge of the market or where/how to begin the process. We briefly spoke with Rumana, explained to her our situation, and left our phone number. We really thought that would be the end of it but a couple of days later she called us and asked how she could help. After discussing our budget and the type of property we were hoping to find, Rumana literally spent months showing us around to different neighborhoods and showing us many property types so we could get a tangible feel for what was available within our target price point. She would meet us after work on more occasions than I can remember and show us properties that had just come on the market. This experience was invaluable for us to fine-tune what our expectations were (i.e. what we should expect to get for a home within our budget). Over a year later she was still there. Still with us, doing all she could to help us find just the right house. Then, one night, she drove us to a property on Oakhurst Avenue in San Carlos. As soon as we walked in we both knew, this is it. She guided us through the entire process (offer through closure) and was a steadfast, unwavering advocate for our interests. We loved our home for over 18 years. Then, in October of this year, it came time to sell our home due to a work relocation. Of course, the only person whom we would consider to help us with this was Rumana. She and her team approached the sale of our home with the same tenacity, advocacy, integrity, attention to detail, proactiveness, and professionalism that we experienced all those years ago when we first bought the house. Ultimately the house was sold for a price beyond our expectations and things could not have gone more smoothly."

"We would highly recommend Rumana and her team! We've been through multiple transactions with Rumana, and this was our first time as sellers. As can be expected, Rumana did a wonderful job getting the home ready for sale. She walked us through the process, patiently answered our questions, and always made herself available. She and her team kept us informed of each and every detail in real-time, and simplified the process for us. Rumana went above and beyond to get us a competitive offer in just a few days after the home was put on the market."

"Rumana is extremely knowledgeable to the area and her expertise is appreciated.

Rumana recently helped us sell our townhouse and the entire process was flawless. She and her team were extremely thorough and followed up with details to all our questions and concerns. We'll definitely refer Rumana to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house along the Peninsula."

"We highly recommend her!

Rumana and her team delivered on everything we expected. Even in the current uncertain market, her calm and experienced approached provided a good outcome when we sold our house"

"I highly recommend Rumana to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in San Mateo county. My mother passed recently and I needed to liquidate a piece of property from her trust. Rumana has always been around Foster City and kept in touch with my mother for over 20 years. Rumana is extremely knowledgeable of the market in Foster City and made the entire selling process easy."

"I tried with another realtor who wasn't able to sell my condo with this market situation. I decided to try with Rumana... Rumana showed me confidence and passion.

Rumana is awesome realtor. I had big problem with my condo, which doesn't fit with life plan. I tried with another realtor who wasn't able to sell my condo with this market situation. I decided to try with Rumana again for the last time. I was very anxious, but Rumana showed me confidence and passion. She has a lot of experience and good business skills. With this difficult market, she was able to get good offers for me. I really appreciated it. I wish I can work with her again when I buy my single house in the near future. I am really happy with her and want to recommend her."

"We are so fortunate to have Rumana Jabeen as our listing agent. She and her team went way beyond what we expected!

Her photographer and videographer produced a stunning display package for our (but soon to be not ours) well loved and lived in home. Rumana made recommendations on what work we should do before going on the market, without making us feel pressured. Rumana's experience and expertise helped list our house at the right price to get noticed. When we were worried about getting offers below what we hoped for, and expressed this to her, she told us that we are under no obligation to take any such offer and if the offers come in too low, we would just keep looking for that right buyer. Rumana and her team helped coordinate inspections, hauling, moving, and gave huge amounts of time for open houses... of which we only needed one twilight tour, one weekend of open houses, and one broker tour in order to get the visits needed to generate enormous interest and finally a fabulous offer, which Rumana was able to negotiate even higher. Rumana's calm and kind demeanor put us at ease numerous times during this hugely impactful process. We are so excited to start our next stage ...downsizing as empty nesters. We were also so excited to learn that the buyers of the home love the home as much as we do! We will be sure to recommend Rumana Jabeen and her team to all we meet to help them with their real estate needs!"

"Rumana and her team go above and beyond expectations. They make what can be a very stressful time much easier on clients.

Working with Rumana was a pleasure. She is highly professional and attentive to her clients' needs. Her supporting team is also top notch and wonderful to work with. From the photography, to the advertising, to the level of communication and patience, Rumana and her team go above and beyond expectations. They make what can be a very stressful time much easier on clients."

"Simply the best realtor and staff you will ever have the pleasure of working with.

Rumana and VIP associates were the best realtor team that I have ever worked with.Their expertise at scheduling home remodeling with contractors was perfect. Their communication with us via email, text, etc, was excellent. Simply the best realtor and staff you will ever have the pleasure of working with."

"I highly recommend her!

Rumana and her amazing team go above and beyond to create a truly great working relationship and experience to sell your home. I highly recommend her!"

"We were very pleased with her professionalism and her devotion to clients.

We believe Rumana got us the best price for our home in a less than great market for sellers. We have dealt with three realtors over the past few years. One was not very good, one was so-so, and Rumana was fantastic. We were very pleased with her professionalism and her devotion to clients. She exhibits the highest ethics, never attempting to represent both a buyer and a seller simultaneously. She understands what it takes to successfully market a home. If you have a house to sell do not list it with a part time realtor. Hire a pro, like Rumana."

"Impressed by what you do

Of all the realtors that we have met in the past, YOU surpass and exceed with excellence. You're “above and beyond” in what you do is magnificent, remarkable, outstanding, and unparalleled! “Above and beyond" means Rumana Jabeen. I say this with my heart and Gratitude. Yes, we all worked very hard. Thanks to you, Gina, and your team for all you did working with us to make it possible. We were a very good team! What an experience!"

"With Rumana at our side, we had an outcome beyond our wildest dreams!

Rumana and team are the savviest realtors I have ever worked with, and I have personally bought and sold quite a few homes in my lifetime. Rumana held our hands throughout the process and kept us in the loop every step of the way via shared documents and constant contact. The level of support Rumana and team provided was truly remarkable. Rumana has a deep understanding and knowledge of the real estate market and is respected in the community. She has a network of quality and reasonably priced service providers, so we didn't have to source those ourselves. She also worked with them on our behalf. She made knowledge-based suggestions, but we made all the final decisions. Rumana has her finger on the pulse of area properties, neighborhoods, buyer demographics, and market trends. She deploys traditional as well as technology-based marketing and advertising strategies to maximize reach, including mailers, and posts on social media platforms such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Instagram. Most importantly, Rumana and team are caring, ethical, low ego, patient, and trustworthy. The biggest takeaway for me is how important it is to have the right broker. With Rumana at our side, we had an outcome beyond our wildest dreams! TYSM, Rumana and team!"
