Marielena helped us purchase a property in Northern California and we could not have asked for a better agent. She was quick and got as appointments to view homes within a few hours. She knew we were on a tight budget and she helped us save money in every way possible. More importantly she is realistic and really wants you to find the right home even when its not in her best interest. Through out the entire process she went above and beyond and we felt like she cared about us. She treated us like family, she is wonderful agent. We are grateful we had the opportunity to work with her.
