    I purchased a property with assistance from Shelly and she was superb throughout the entire process. She showed endless patience with a very indecisive client!! Years later I listed the same property with Shelly -- she managed to get the property emptied, repainted, re-carpeted, staged, sold (at ful...

    Shelly is a stellar Realtor! When buying my first house, I intended to interview a few agents to find one who would best match my needs and I looked no further than Shelly. She's incredibly professional, knowledgeable and I trust her implicitly to guide me safely through the mountain of paperwork an...

    Shelly is really the best Realtor I know. She helped my husband and I buy our first house and trust me, we put her through her paces! She walked us through each step of the process and taught us a lot about what to look for in a house, what potential money traps there could be at a particular place ...

    In the terribly sad and unfortunate situation of my Mom passing, Shelly literally took me by the hand and was with me every step of the way. My family home had been with us for over 40 years. It was well kept but terribly dated. Being sensitive to my feelings, Shelly made excellent suggestions to up...

    We called Shelly based on all her glowing reviews when we suddenly found ourselves in a rather rushed position to sell our home in Santa Clara. From the first time we met with her we felt at ease and her plan for putting our home on the market felt comfortable to us and clear. She is a great communi...

    This is my first time ever writing a review on Yelp, which means you KNOW there has to be a good reason! Relocating from NYC for work, my company's Mobility Services team set us up with Shelly due to her proximity and expertise of bay area real estate. From the beginning, I was impressed with Shelly...

    Shelly WAY EXCEEDED my expectations, because: 1) She was avail 24/7, which was very important given my busy work schedule, 2) She listened carefully to what I told her I was looking for in a new home, but then she helped me buy a place which ended up being even better for me, 3) She's fun and funny ...

    I was looking for a few things when looking for an agent to represent the sale of a humble townhome in Mountain View that meant everything to me. After all, although a house is just a possession, it represents years of toil, savings, effort, sacrifices and luck to obtain. I was seeking someone who: ...

    Shelly is amazing. We have done one sale and two purchases with her help and she has been an outstanding representative. She really knows the market well. On the purchases, she knew the right price, helping us get the winning bids in a very highly competitive market without overpaying. On the sale, ...

    Shelly has become the only person that we call when we're thinking about making a transaction. She's the one we trust the most. She knows this area better than anyone. When we first approached her about a possible move out of the area, she worked tirelessly interviewing other agents out of state. Wh...
