Elena was a phenomenal listing agent! She brought incredible enthusiasm and unwavering confidence that she could sell our property well above asking price and even above comps--and she absolutely delivered. Her team handled everything seamlessly, from contracts to showings to coordinating with contractors. When it came to negotiations, Elena managed our expectations beautifully. She truly listened to what we wanted from the sale and marketed our home with precision and energy. Thanks to her strategy, we received multiple strong offers and, after just the first weekend of showings, she pushed for a quick turnaround. Elena's efforts led to three serious buyers entering a bidding war--every seller's dream! In the end, we successfully closed at $288,000 over our listing price. If that's not a home run, I don't know what is! We've bought and sold over 26+ real estate investment properties, …

If that's not a home run, I don't know what is! We've bought and sold over 26+ real estate investment properties, and I can honestly say Elena and her team were BY FAR the best we've ever worked with. We've bought and sold over 26+ real estate investment properties, and I can honestly say Elena and her team were BY FAR the best we've ever worked with. Elena, thank you for setting the bar high in an industry where it can sometimes feel like agents do the bare minimum yet still walk away with big commissions. You are the rare agent who truly earned every penny-not only through how hard you and your team worked, but also through the outstanding results you achieved for us. Thank you for listening to us, understanding our family, and always keeping us aligned with what we were comfortable with. We felt 100% supported every step of the way, and never pressured into anything we didn't want. God bless you and your amazing team!
Elena, thank you SO MUCH for your help in the purchase of our new home. We honestly could not have done it without you. Aggressive (in the BEST kind of way), knowledgable, professional, approachable, the list goes on and on. Our home buying experience was one of a kind, and I'm looking forward to a continuing relationship on our next purchase.
When it came time to sell our home, there was no question who we wanted to work with - Elena Licari. I had the privilege of working alongside Elena as a firefighter, and I knew firsthand the work ethic, dedication, and integrity she brings to everything she does. From our very first meeting, Elena impressed us with her professionalism and thorough approach. She came prepared with a detailed marketing plan and an impressive set of comparable listings that helped us confidently set a fair and competitive price for our home. Throughout the entire process, Elena was incredibly accessible and responsive. I truly don’t know how she finds enough hours in the day—she was always there to answer questions, provide updates, and guide us step by step. Thanks to Elena’s aggressive marketing strategy and packed open house schedule, we sold our home in just one weekend! Elena is a consummate professi…

Elena Licari came into our lives when my husband Danyal and I were nearly ready to abandon our first home search, and she completely transformed our experience. She is a joy to be around, which made it easy to look for homes weekend after weekend. Her knowledgeable approach made the process enjoyable, while her remarkable ability to understand our particular tastes as demanding first-time buyers guided us to perfect matches. When we found a fixer-upper in Circle C, Elena's extensive remodeling experience helped us envision renovations that would suit our lifestyle while maximizing resale value. Her negotiation prowess enabled us to beat nine other offers on our dream home and later secure a price reduction when inspections revealed issues. What truly set Elena apart was her unwavering dedication—she and her team (Aimee and Andrea) always made time for us despite short notice, showing pro…

Her negotiation prowess enabled us to beat nine other offers on our dream home and later secure a price reduction when inspections revealed issues. What truly set Elena apart was her unwavering dedication—she and her team (Aimee and Andrea) always made time for us despite short notice, showing properties multiple times and even accommodating viewings for my family who flew in after our offer was accepted. Elena isn't just a real estate agent; she's a fierce advocate who genuinely fights for her clients' interests. We cannot thank her enough for guiding us through purchasing our first home.
My wife and I had the privilege of having Elena as our realtor. There are too many good things to say about her but to name a few: 1. Her communication is amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable from beginning to end. She carried us to the finish line to get our home and we could not be happier. Any questions(I ask a lot because I do not have much knowledge within real-estate) she would answer. She worked with us at all hours of the day. There is a reason she is in the top 1%. 2. Elena is extremely organized. There are so many moving parts to buying a home and you have to have an organized agent period. With documentation, disclosures, inspections, pulling up information that my wife and I forgot about from previous messages, Elena was quick and precise and was our guiding light.

Elena is extremely organized. There are so many moving parts to buying a home and you have to have an organized agent period. With documentation, disclosures, inspections, pulling up information that my wife and I forgot about from previous messages, Elena was quick and precise and was our guiding light. She also handled the selling of our home and coordinated all tasks, documentation, without breaking a sweat. When our workload was too much to bear, she took over and gave us breathing room to focus on other priorities. 3. Elena will give you the confidence to know that what you bought was the right move especially in the current housing atmosphere. There is also the question of to buy or to wait? We were on that fence for quite a while but when the right house came down, she made sure we were comfortable, asked the right questions, and listened to all of our wants, needs, concerns, thus yielding us to be certain in our purchase. I know this is a long review but when it comes to buying a home, you need to know who you are working with and have 100% trust and confidence in your agent. Elena will always do that and take care of you. 4. Elena truly cares about her clients. She helped us buy our dream home, she helped us sell our first home, and she checked off everything at the highest quality possible. She staged our home so well that we were in shock at how great it looked. She looks at all the details. Just like I mentioned above, her eye for detail is incredible along with her organization and communication skills. I know there are other amazing agents, but there really is only one Elena Licari. As someone who lives in the bay area and has gone through the buying and selling process, I understand the pressure and competition that breeds within the home market and empathize for those who trying to navigate it. You need an agent that thrives in this pressure and knows the ins and outs of the bay area housing market(she also knows many other areas). Elena has that all plus her network is extensive and you can just about ask her anything and she will have a concrete answer. Sorry again for this extremely long review but she really puts in 200% for her clients. I encourage all those who are looking for agents to reach out to her, even just for a consultation, to see how great she really is and how much of a positive impact she will have on your home buying/selling experience.
Elena's philosophy is simple: clients come first. She pledges to be in constant communication with her clients, keeping them fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process.
