Have you ever seen some pull off a miracle right in front of your eyes and wondered how on earth did they possibly do it? Has someone exceeded your expectations so much that you are ready to recommend them to everyone you know?

We met one such person! It was Christina (who goes by the name "Koko"). She pulled off the most seemingly impossible deal and got us our home in the Bay Area.

Being first time home buyers, we were absolutely new to this whole process. So choosing the right real estate was going to be critical if stood any chance to get a house we love, in the Bay Area.

Right from the first meeting, Koko was extremely thorough in her approach and walked us through the entire process . She laid out a very methodical approach of narrowing down the properties. She left no stone un-turned in making sure all of our criteria was met.

Another thing hat differentiates Koko from other real estate agents is that she gets her job done really really well.. She is a go-getter!! We really mean it.

Her negotiation skills, ability to close the whole transaction in record time and making sure you get the best deal possible, simply makes her the best real estate agent here in the Bay Area.

If you or anyone you know in the Bay Area is looking to either buy or sell a house, simply go with Koko. Don't even bother going with anyone else.

For us: Best Real Estate Agent == Ms Koko!! Period!

Thank you Koko for helping us finding the best house we possibly could!!

We worked with Koko for selling our townhome and buying our single family home. Due to this, we were not first time home buyer. Across all of our real estate transactions, we had spoken to about 6-8 different real estate agents. And we worked with a different real estate agent in purchasing our first home. On our sell, we had to renovate our townhome quite extensively. I'd like to emphasize that we did all of our engagement with Koko (renovate, sell and buy) during COVID-19 SIP protocol timeframe. It was a particularly challenging spring and summer from taking a house on the market and investing in a new house. Our family (virtually) traveled with Koko for over 6 months during this process via hundreds, if not thousands, of text messages and hours of phone and Zoom conversations. She is extremely flexible from a time perspective as well.

Looking back, we are extremely satisfied we got a chance to work with Koko. She is knowledgable about the market, her judgement on how to price a property and bid for a property was spot on. There were times we stepped out of offering a given house (for other reasons) yet noticed the house sold for almost exactly what she claimed it would go for a few weeks back. She applies a lot of positive pressure in decision making, yet she is totally accommodating when it comes to listening to our views. There was one occasion where we almost bid on a house, yet pulled back on the last minute after she spent hours on writing up the offer. She accepted our apologies gracefully and got down to the next set of houses for us.

On the selling front, her work speaks for itself. She managed to sell our townhome not only for over asking, but for tens of thousands more than another house in the same community that sold a few months back (pre COVID). She suggested a number of options for upgrades and worked within our budget. She doubles down as a project manager for these renovations and she never let her eye off the ball. All this was through peak SIP during COVID. Again, I'd spoken to a few different real estate agents prior to settling on Koko. None of them were quite the complete package that Koko provides.

Overall, we were equally impressed with her buy as well as sell side of the services, and would recommend her to anyone seeking to work with her.

I had an excellent experience meeting Christina (Koko)! It was a game-changer for me. She went above and beyond to ensure I understood key aspects of my real estate business. Koko’s professionalism and passion made a significant impact! I can’t wait for her Agent Brand Academy course next year.

We were recently relocated out of state. The relocation company required two of their registered real estate agents to value the property, propose a marketing plan and suggest a listing price and most probably sale price. Neither realtor won me over so I contacted Koko who had sold several properties in my neighborhood and in the Cambrian Park/Los Gatos areas of the valley. We asked her to please also value the property and present her plan. We were very impressed with Koko marketing plan. We had built a smart house and Koko insisted we put together a home manual for people to see. We had extensive outdoor lighting so she hosted both afternoon and evening open houses. She walked the house and gave direct feedback on things that should be fixed and things to leave. We had a play structure in the yard, she told us to leave it. Other realtors suggested we remove it, Koko correctly pointed out the increase in young families due to local schools continually improving. We also had to relocate urgently and had to move before repairs, cleaning and inspections could be done. Koko handled everything in our absence which included new interior paint, hardwood floor refinishing, deep cleaning, all inspections and odd handyman work. She had the house repaired, inspected, staged and photographed within 3 weeks of us relocating over the Christmas break. Koko immediately hosted 3 straight open houses (Friday night and weekend afternoons). Because of all her outreach and marketing, we had 70+ couples and received almost a 25% offer rate, all within a week of listing. We accepted a no-contingency offer almost 10% above asking. This sale happened end of January 2023 with the real estate market in disarray, not during the peak heyday, a lot of work was required to get that traffic. Handling relocations is very different then a regular sale. Koko handled the relocation very professionally during a very trying time both for the market and personally for all over the holidays. The final kicker, when looking at the original estimates the realtors had submitted to the relocation company, it turns out Koko was within 2% of our final sale price, the other agents were all lower and off by more than 15%.Koko is trustworthy, hard working, has great ideas and really delivered for us in a very turbulent real estate market. The numbers don't lie. We cannot recommend Koko strongly enough.

I worked with Koko 4 years ago when I bought my first town home with my husband. She was very thorough, responsive, a great negotiator, fast, and worked hard to get us the best place possible for our growing family. We recently worked with Koko with thoughts of selling our place to move to another neighborhood. I was really unsure of what I should do and if I should sell. My family had recently gone through some difficult life events and I had to make this decision on my own. Koko was very patient with me and took the time to hear what I wanted. She helped me to sort out what my options were and was a great support. It’s really nice to know that your realtor is someone who truly cares for you and your family and is not just trying to make a sale. We ended up not selling for personal reasons, but when we are ready to, we will definitely reach out to Koko for her expertise and her caring touch.

I am very thankful Koko worked with me in selling my home of 36 yrs. I couldn't have asked for a better more caring agent. She came in bright and positive, her expertise shining through. I turned every thing over to her but the packing. She knows what it takes to sell a home from paint colors to ordering everything needed to remodel my bathrooms. She understands how to market and strategize. Koko went above and beyond in every way. She was my cheerleader when I was exhausted from packing and ready to give up.
Thank you Koko, you're #1 in my book! I can't thank you enough. I'm off to live near my grandson and start a new journey.

Koko and her team were very helpful in finding my new home in addition to navigating the home buying process for the first time. She was very focused on meeting my needs. This including showings and making sure that I could get in to see a place quickly because of how fast houses were selling. Very responsive and helpful.
