Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate - Los Gatos, California

Kathy C.

To say it's been a privilege to work with Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo is an understatement. They are without a doubt the BEST real estate agents in the San Jose-South Bay area (and quite possibly the entire bay area).

They are the most responsive and communicative agents I've ever interacted with (both from a selling and buying perspective), transparent, diligent, incredibly hard-working, and highly experienced. Buying and selling real estate is not for the faint of heart, let alone a small or easy task. This is THE tiger team you want to entrust with your real estate needs.

We have had the worst experience with agents, from both a selling and buying perspective, to the point where we considered selling and buying on our own with no agent. Every agent we reached out to had the same old story; no one stood out as unique or better equipped than the other, making it that much harder to find a new agent. During our discovery to sell and buy on our own, we were strongly referred to Sandy and Joe at Compass, and it was one of the best, life-changing referrals and decisions of my life.

They helped us sell our condo in quite possibly the worst time and season to sell, let alone a condo, and buy a home in the slowest season with terribly low inventory. Throughout this 6-mo long process, their high-touch communication, transparency, diligence, and speed at which they worked (despite the tough conditions) were unlike anything I’ve experienced. “Sandy Sicsko” has become an expression in our home. “If it isn’t Sandy Sicsko level of service, I don’t want it.”

There's no way we could've done this without Sandy and Joe. We are forever grateful!

We had the pleasure of working with Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team to purchase our first home in San Jose, CA, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Sandy and Joe, we felt at ease and comfortable. Their warm and welcoming demeanors instantly put us at ease, and made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience feel surprisingly relaxed. I really appreciated them getting to know us personally, and showing a sincere interest in our hopes for our first home. This connection reassured us that we not only found someone to represent us as buyers but also individuals who genuinely cared about our journey to find the right home.

Sandy and Joe went above and beyond in advocating for us through the entire home-buying process. They were proactive in ensuring that our interests were protected, especially when it came to navigating the complexities of contracts and contingencies. I am so grateful for their help with guiding us through the entire process, ensuring that we were fully informed and comfortable before proceeding. This not only gave us peace of mind, but also shielded us when the opposing realtor argued certain terms or hidden obligations that we were protected against.

In addition, Sandy and Joe demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills when it came time to make our offer. Their guidance helped position our offer to be competitive yet fair, leveraging their knowledge and understanding of current trends. I appreciated their expertise and assertiveness in negotiations because we didn’t overpay for our new home. They skillfully negotiated terms that were beneficial to us, and without them we may have agreed to much more unreasonable terms without contingencies because of the pressure from the seller’s realtor.

Lastly, I greatly appreciated their responsiveness and dedication. Whether it be on weekends and evenings, I could always call them. Their professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence that we were making informed decisions.

Overall, we are beyond grateful for Sandy and Joe's guidance and support. They made what could have been a stressful process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team as the best buyers’ agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area. I am so grateful for their help in finding our new home!!

We had a wonderful home buying experience thanks to the Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team. We began our search during a very competitive time in the housing market. Joe and Sandy were extremely patient through the entire process and helped us with great insights and guidance. We bought our wonderful home in Campbell, CA primarily because of Joe and Sandy's expertise and diligence.

Thank you to Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team for making our home buying experience a breeze! Joe and Sandy were a pleasure to work with from the start through closing day. Joe was always ready to answer all of our questions (there were many) and never left us wondering what was next, he was always one step ahead, providing guidance on the next phase of our home purchase! My sister and I always understood what was going on thanks to Joe’s patience. The team made us feel as if they were truly looking out for our best interest and not just trying to get a sale and move on.

Sandy and Joe helped us with our condo sell and purchase in San Jose and they also helped another sister of ours with her home purchase in the East Bay! Safe to say our entire family will continue to reach out to Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team in the future.

Sandy and Joe are amazing to work with! They were always available to answer our many questions as first time home buyers, prompt at acquiring disclosures and other pertinent information, and kept a consistent channel of communication going with us and the selling agents. Joe was really flexible with our schedules when touring homes and he offered a lot of insight on the properties we saw. Joe was especially helpful when it came to pointing out any potential construction/foundation/inspection issues, which was really useful since it was uncharted territory for us. They were very patient with us as we discussed our options of townhomes versus single family, new constructions versus fixer uppers.

We are fortunate to have closed on our new home and are truly grateful to have followed Joe and Sandy’s guidance throughout the process. We highly recommend Sandy and Joe, they are personable, reliable, professional, and experienced. You are in good hands with them!

Sandy and Joe are truly the best in the Bay Area real estate business. As a first time home buyer, my husband and I didn’t know what to expect. Sandy and Joe walked us through everything step by step making us feel comfortable and prepared for the home buying process. They listened to ours needs and were always ready to answer our questions. We knew we were in good hands throughout the whole process and ended up with the home of our dreams.

The Sandy Sicsko and Joe Borromeo Real Estate Team were great to work with. They were 100% receptive to my requests and helped me find the perfect first home. Buying a home for the first time can be an overwhelming process but they made it easy. They always had my best interest in mind and made sure I was comfortable with the whole process. I closed over 2 years ago but know that I can always reach out to them with any questions and they’ll respond without hesitation. Informative, patient, friendly, professional, hard working and the Best Bay Area Real Estate agents around!

Joe and Sandy were able to close us two successful back to back deals in 2015: 1) The sale of our single family home 2) the purchase of our new condo. The customer service you receive from these agents is 5 stars. Theres always a positive and ambitious attitude with Joe and Sandy so you know you are in good hands. Joe and Sandy always make himself available to his clients and have a "client first" style business, which makes it very easy to work with him. I highly recommend Joe and Sandy at Compass, they are closers.
