I can’t recommend Esther highly enough. She is one of the best real estate agents I’ve worked with over the years, and I’ve worked with many. Esther treated my home as if it were her own and put in an incredible level of effort to make it one of the best listings on the market.

From the initial consultation, Esther took the time to understand my goals and quickly assessed the property. She immediately highlighted the strongest selling points and identified a few high-impact fixes that would meaningfully improve buyer appeal and value. She built a clear plan, coordinated vendors and timelines. We were traveling internationally during this time and Esther managed every moving part with almost no delays. When unexpected issues came up, she stayed calm and solution-oriented, and she communicated proactively, always aligning with me and never making decisions unilaterally.

Esther has a truly artistic eye and knows what buyers are looking for. Her recommendations elevated the home without unnecessary spending, and her staging guidance made the space feel modern, polished, and “like new.” She knows exactly how to highlight a home’s strengths and create the best possible first impression.

Esther’s go-to-market strategy and execution were top-notch. We received multiple offers after just one weekend of open house, sold above listing price, and closed smoothly in 21 days. In the same community, two similar townhouses listed around the same time took multiple weeks on market and ultimately sold below listing price. Esther’s positioning and negotiation clearly made the difference.
I’m truly grateful for everything Esther did, and I would absolutely work with her again!

I first met Esther at a previous open house. I appreciated the presentation of that home, and we discovered we shared similar opinions on remodeling. I subsequently selected her as my listing agent.

After touring my home, Esther identified several areas that required improvement. We discussed the design and agreed on a plan. Contractors began work within a week, and several weeks later, the house appeared modern and attractive. The property went pending four days after the open house, and we secured a buyer who was satisfied with the purchase.

Esther is highly dedicated to her work. She responded promptly to all inquiries and served as the central coordinator between the contractors, the buyer, and myself, ensuring clear communication throughout. She managed the property with a personal sense of care, coordinating all projects efficiently. While I was initially quite involved, her capable management allowed me to adopt a more hands-off approach.

The successful sale of the house was due in large part to her efforts. I am very satisfied with the outcome as a seller.

From the moment we first met with Esther we knew we were in good hands. She knows the market inside out, has a firm grasp of what home buyers are looking for, and has a unique flare for real estate marketing. Esther guided us expertly on necessary renovations and upgrades for a sensible budget, and helped bring in contractors to get the work done quickly. She staged the house perfectly and even though we were competing with several other similar properties on the market, we had multiple over-ask offers within days of the first open house! We canceled the second open house and closed the sale in 25 days. Throughout the process Esther kept us informed with daily updates. I highly recommend working with Esther and her team.

Working with Esther was such a wonderful experience. From the start, her design sense, prep work, staging, and marketing made our home shine—we became a “Hot Home” in just two days and had more than 40 groups come through, leading to multiple offers.

When unexpected challenges came up and the buyer switched lenders twice, Esther kept everything moving smoothly and made sure we still closed on time—and over asking. She was approachable, responsive, and always had our best interests at heart. We felt supported every step of the way and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Esther recently sold my parent's home. I have worked with numerous real estate agents and the level of service Esther provided was head and shoulders above anything I have experienced. On an almost daily basis during the sales process, my parents would comment on how lucky they felt that Esther was the one guiding them through the process. She worked tirelessly to get my parent's home ready for sale. The results speak for themselves. The house received multiple offers within days and sold for above the asking price. Esther is a truly outstanding real estate professional!

Esther is an incredibly professional, patient, and friendly real estate agent! We’ve worked with her twice—once to buy a home and this time to sell.

Esther was great at closing the sale of our house in Sunnyvale. She was very approachable and responsive to all our questions, every step of the way, no matter the time of the day or weekend. She knew the local area well. At the beginning, she evaluated what our goals and objectives were, and what our budget was to get house ready. After she did an inspection of our home, she gave a quick overview of the main things that needed to be done, before it went on the market. She then worked with her vendors and gave us an estimate of the labor and material costs, which turned out to be extremely accurate.

She is positive and realistic, and did not look at problems along the way, as setbacks, but actively and collaboratively looked for solutions. She had a good team behind her at Coldwell Banker, that she leaned on for any issues. She worked closely with vendors, and saved us a lot of time. She has a good set of vendors working for her team, and that helped as well.

From working with vendors, to working with inspection agents, title companies, HOA, she worked seamlessly!

She is enthusiastic and has a great attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes. We enjoyed working with her and her team and would highly recommend her!

We recently purchased a house in west San Jose with Esther as our agent.
During our search phase, Esther was very prompt and active in helping us tour properties, even on short notice.
Our contract phase was especially challenging. The seller agent was not pleasant to work with and had misrepresented some details of the property. Esther handled this situation calmly and helped us all the way through.
We appreciate working with her and she is very reachable even afterwards and always willing to help.

We've worked with a number of real estate agents in the past, but Esther redefined our expectations of how valuable having the right real estate agent could really be throughout every stage of the process and first time homebuyers.

During the touring stage, Esther is not only there for you at private tours and open houses to answer your questions, but also helps you envision what it would be like to live at the place. She proactively surfaces properties you might be interested in, and translates endless pages of disclosure docs into actual info that makes sense. Her knowledge of the area and market was incredibly detailed, which made us feel both informed and confident in each step of the process. And the rapport she builds with the seller agents in the area really helped us get a better understanding beyond what we could have done reading disclosures or even working with other agents.

When we finally landed on the house we wanted to bid on, Esther was with us every step of the way. Even though she was on vacation in a completely different time zone, she went above and beyond to ensure everything moved smoothly and on time. Her commitment and expertise made the whole experience less scary and stressful.

Even after closing Esther has continued to support our home owning journey. She connected us with a contractor that we loved working with, that helped us make the changes we were envisioning for the home. We really couldn't recommend her highly enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Esther during my recent home buying experience. From our very first meeting, Esther stood out by being completely non-pushy and genuinely respectful of our needs and preferences. She patiently listened to our requirements and never made me feel pressured to make a decision I wasn't comfortable with.

Esther guided us through a wide range of potential properties, always keeping our budget and wishlist in mind. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and provided valuable insights that helped us narrow down the choices. Esther always provided us with detailed analyses of comparable properties, ensuring that we had a clear understanding of fair market value before making an offer. She skillfully advocated for our interests all the way alone, resulting in a final purchase that we were happy with.

The closing process was seamless thanks to Esther’s meticulous attention to detail. She promptly addressed any questions or concerns we had, provided various helpful services and resources, helping us settle into our new home.

I highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable home buying experience.

My husband and I met Esther at an open house in the early stage of our home searching process. We decided to work with Esther because of her proactive approach and patience with us. From our initial meeting to the final closing, Esther has been very responsive and never pushy. She would always make herself available when we have questions or would like to see homes we are interested in, even on a short notice. When we were ready to put in offers for the homes we liked, she would listen carefully to our views, and at the same time provide sufficient information to help us make informed decisions. By the time we finally found the right home after months of searching, Esther went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth closing process. She was the key liaison among all parties involved and was on the lookout for us even when we were away. Esther is also a very resourceful agent. She provided helpful advice and connected us with GCs/architects as we were considering various remodeling options. Esther's hard work and dedication throughout the whole time gave us a quite pleasant home buying experience. We definitely won't hesitate to recommend her to our friends and family in the future.
