Felicia Mares

Felicia Mares is an East Bay realtor passionate about guiding clients, whether first-timers or experienced homeowners, to accomplish their real estate goals. Navigating the world of real estate can be daunting, but Felicia is here to walk you through it. Her no-pressure approach has helped hundreds of individuals gain clarity about home buying & selling.

Real estate is about building your future: whether you are purchasing a property to feel a sense of stability, saying goodbye to the home you have raised your family in, or purchasing a rental property to add to your retirement plan, she can help get you to the future you have been dreaming of.

When Felicia was younger, she witnessed her mom struggling through the home-buying process as one of the first people in their family to purchase a home.

The process was exceedingly difficult, as she was receiving poor guidance from the real estate agents she was working with. It did not feel fair... she worked tirelessly to save up enough money to finally purchase a home, all on her own. Luckily, Felicia’s mom is very persistent, so this story has a happy ending: she became a first-time homeowner. Now her home is worth three times the amount she purchased it for! This is a prime example of how real estate builds generational wealth. It has changed the trajectory of their family forever.

A decade later her mom’s experience was fresh in her mind as she jumped headfirst into the real estate industry. Felicia set out to help people avoid the headache and heartache that often come with buying or selling real estate. While this process can be intense, she goes the extra mile for her clients.

Felicia studied Psychology at UC Davis and worked as a full-time nanny before diving into real estate. The top quality that she has retained from this background is patience! Real estate transactions can throw some curveballs and she can remain patient while advocating for her clients.

As a REALTOR®, it is vital to team up with a brokerage with similar values, so since 2017, Felicia has worked with Abio Properties, a local boutique brokerage. They genuinely believe that real estate agencies should be collaborative and straightforward. No confusing jargon. No high-pressure sales tactics. No clichés.

Their approach is anchored in open, honest interactions with their colleagues and clients. They believe this business is about relationships, not transactions. It is about you. It is about community. It is about time. It is about home.
