Selling a home is major undertaking and can be very stressful. I get that. You need a trusted agent, experienced with the multi-faceted details, who will negotiate fiercely for your interests. I begin by first listening carefully to your needs and goals. Together, we create a winning strategy, and I become your concierge project manager. Paying meticulous attention to details, I negotiate with vendors, agents and buyers on your behalf, and keep you informed along the way. When we joyfully celebrate your close of escrow, you will be ecstatic with the results we have achieved. You will proudly know that you received the highest price and best terms for your home, and I become your trusted real estate resource for life.

TESTIMONIALS

What Clients Say

  • "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
  • "Rumana helped us avoid purchasing a home that wouldn't be right for us by calling out risks and pitfalls that we would not have noticed. Ultimately we found our dream home within our budget, and Rumana helped us secure the winning bid despite not being the highest bidder (!)."
    - Nikhil R.
    Buyer in San Mateo
  • "We've chose work with Rumana based on 2 factors -- Merit and Trust...And if drop her name to other agents, the response is immediate and positive. She didn't push to sale us on a home, but rather she was interested in what we are looking for. We whole heartedly recommend Rumana to our friends without hesitation."
    - Dan T.
    Buyer in San Bruno & San Mateo
  • "We approached Rumana after a family friend recommended her. We wanted someone with a lot of local experience, professionalism, trustworthiness, transparency, and good communication skills. Rumana and her team delivered on each of these qualities. We felt comfortable and trusted her throughout the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Rumana for home-buyers in the peninsula."
    - Jon W.
    Buyer in San Carlos
