Nick & Virginia – Menlo Park

“My wife and I recently purchased our first home. This is a stressful process, particularly in the Bay Area, where competition and property values are daunting to people inexperienced in real estate matters, like us. We initially chose a large, well known company as our purchasing agents. Although they were perfectly kind and diligent, we felt we needed someone who understood our situation on a more personal level. We were referred to Alana Corso by a friend. Our initial contact with her occurred while both we and she were out of town. We were remarkably surprised and impressed at how responsive, competent and comprehensive she was. Upon our return, we were able to get to know her more personally, and immediately felt comfortable with her representing us. Alana was always prompt, responsive, and ready to answer all our questions in a knowledgeable way that we could easily understand. We grew to trust her opinions about property, pricing and offers implicitly. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart. She was of invaluable help in managing and coordinating the financing portion of our purchase, which was complicated by university administered housing programs. At closing, she lined up all the necessary tasks, saw them through to completion and tied up every loose end. In all, she made an extremely stressful and intimidating task something we will look back on with fond memories, which is something that we really didn’t expect. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alana for anyone buying or selling in the Bay Area, we would love to work with her again and I’m sure that you will too.”
