Amy Alvarez

Since we were new to San Ramon, Dublin and Pleasanton, Amy worked proactively with us to show the different homes in the tri valley so we could an idea of the local places. Based on our family situation with kids and work she advised us on available options to choose from matching our budget. We were doing all this remotely from another country, she managed and coordinated the closing too with the escrow and also all the Handyman work follow up with the seller agent. She is absolutely on top of everything to ensure our requirements to own a home, were met exceedingly.

Amy Alvarez assisted us in selling our home in Antioch, CA. Amy’s ample knowledge in real estate made the process quick and easy. Amy is responsive and made sure to explain the entire process to us.

Amy was recommended to me by my mortgage broker, who is a hard one to please. And she didn't disappoint. Selling a house can be stressful, especially for someone working full-time. I never had to chase Amy down. She has an amazing work ethic and was quick to follow up with me, answering all my questions during the entire process. Her knowledge of the industry is both wide and deep. She navigated--and anticipated--many of the pitfalls of the housing market with calm and patience. She had a vision of how best to sell my house, but also listened to my ideas and concerns. She contracted with great people who were reliable and did outstanding work. We received an offer only four days after we listed and it was over asking. Amy is the most dedicated and insightful real estate agent, and I would work with her again.

Amy is an excellent realtor and we could not recommend more. She more than proved her capabilities during our long home sale saga (6 months in the Bay Area … crazy right?) with multiple hurdles, a market shift, and several unsavory characters. This was one of the most difficult times we have faced as a family. Navigating multiple jobs amongst ourselves as a couple, paying two mortgages, having extensive repairs and upgrades done to the house while caring for our one year old child was difficult and the city did not make things easy for us one bit. Amy was kind and understanding throughout our whole home selling process, communicated with the city on our behalf as well as many other people along the way that were not exactly professional. We had quite a few setbacks with this whole thing and she was the calm presence to help us through. We were able to stage our home for a fraction of the cost due to Amy’s connections and I believe that is the last puzzle piece to completing our transfer. Originally we weren’t going to stage the house due to the size and cost but the market hit a snag and downturned a bit so we had to re-evaluate much of our strategy going forward. Our realtor was right there with several suggestions and options on how to proceed and that was immensely helpful. She really went the extra mile when navigating difficult issues and troublesome people. All in all, we highly recommend Amy. She really came through during our house sale and expertly took care of everything.

We feel so fortunate that it was Amy Alvarez who answered our online "connect with an agent" inquiry. It was a nerve wracking experience to start, to know who to reach out to with hundreds of agents to choose from, but Amy's first voicemail was so welcoming and personable, that I called her back the next day and we had a great conversation; she made sure to find out what we were looking for and told me about her process and commitment to be available. She was indeed very available and responsive, by phone, text, and email, all critical in a situation with so many moving parts. It was our first home purchase, so we had a lot of questions, and she had a lot of answers. She always had advice to offer, but also left us space and encouraged us to make our own decisions that felt right to us. With her knowledge and guidance, we closed on our home in Richmond less than one month after first meeting her. Amy is truly a pleasure to work with and we look forward to staying in touch.
