    Vanessa is a person of very high quality. Of course this is reflected in both her personal and professional life. She takes time to become highly educated on matters that concern each clients unique circumstances and brings a team of highly qualified people to the task. When your success matters, Vanessa is the professional to seek. She is highly regarded in the real estate community.

She is also solely focused on finding the right home for her clients so there is no forcing you into a situation that doesn't feel right.I would use Vanessa anytime we would want to find a new home and would recommend her to any person requesting an agent.

  • Hands down the best realtor I have worked with. Vanessa helped me sell my property in Castro Valley. She gave me sound advice on ways to maximize my profit as the seller.She was professional, courteous, patient and was always available to answer my questions day or night. She gave me constant updates when the transaction was in escrow with clear outlines so I knew exactly what to expect. Her sound advice and experience was able to get me $81,000 over listing price.I am looking forward to use her again when I am ready to purchase my new home. I have referred her to many of my family and friends. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to look out for your best interest as both the seller or buyer.

She goes above and beyond to personally care for you and give attetion to detail, and possess great knowledge about the housing market. She is kind and patient. She has the experience and dedication necessary to get the job done!!

  • Vanessa completely exceeded all our expectations, and we were just amazed at all her knowledge and experience. She has multiple clients and still makes sure her clients are a priority and taken care of. She manages to be flexible and readily available. You can clearly see her passion in her work. Vanessa took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home. Our trust in her ability grew quickly and we couldnt be any happier because we are now officially homeowners!

  • We worked with 3 other realtors and they are not all equal, unfortunately. Vanessa is excellent - thoroughly knowledgeable, experienced with complex transactions, and with great follow through and attention to detail. She will be our agent for life!

  • As first time property purchasers me and my fianc recently closed on a condo with Vanessa and had a very good experience working with her throughout the process. Initially I had contacted her for a property that she was representing to sell and had a very good interaction with her so I decided to call her back to help us when we finally decided to start our home search. Vanessa is very responsive and was willing to answer any questions that we had during the process. She was also easy to reach and texted/e-mailed back very promptly. We were able to close at the expected date and purchase under the listing price from Vanessas suggestions. And of the problems that did arise during the closing process, Vanessa was very keen on remediating the problem and keeping all related parties (including us) in the loop. I highly recommend Vanessa if youre looking to buy real estate because we definitely appreciated her friendliness, work ethic, and knowledge of the real estate market.

  • Vanessa was a dream to work with. Always on top of everything that needed to be done. Super responsive to all our questions and needs. Kept us informed every step of the way. Would highly recommend using Vanessa as your agent.

    - Seller - Cathy Oregon, Fremont, CA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
  • Vanessa is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone. My wife and I were first time home buyers and Vanessa really took the time to walk us through the process and answers any questions that we had. She also made sure to help us with things that we may not have even known/though about! She worked very closely with our bank/loan officer to make sure things were in order and we were hitting our timelines and talked us through everything each step of the way. Lastly I would say that she was great at negotiating with the sellers agent to make sure everything went smoothly and that we were getting a fair price.

  • For real estate, I only go with one person and that's Vanessa. For my first two homes, I've gone with different agents until I met Vanessa. She helped us get into our third home in 2013 when the market was so competitive. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, understands the markets by location and most importantly was very good at understanding our needs. I had such a positive experience with her that I asked her to help sell our condo in Mountain View last year as a 1031 exchange for a property in Santa Cruz. She sold our house in under a week after it went on market well above our asking price. And rather than take on a city she didn't have solid knowledge in, she recommended another agent to assist us with the exchange. I've never met an agent who's so qualified in so many ways. I don't think I can ever go with anyone else again!

  • We were one of 7 offers on a Probate home sale. Vanessa advices on how to best present out offer so it will be selected. We got the property! She helped us navigate the probate process every step of the way and in the end we got out home! I will definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Vanessa!

    - Buyer, Probate - L. Rayo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
  • I can't recommend Vanessa enough. She was my north star when I had to sell my father's house in Hayward, navigating conservatorship, probate, court requirements across multiple states, tenants, repairs, and selling a house for an owner over her head! Vanessa was extremely thoughtful, patient, organized, and always right--we had offers above asking within the week. My only regret is now that the house is sold I don't get to call her anymore. :)Literally the best realtor anywhere.

  • Vanessa was recommended to me by a friend, and I discovered for myself she is the best! The sale of my moms property was very smooth thanks to her. She is very knowledgeable and helpful with her recommendations to help sell the property quickly. I will recommend her to my family & friends & plan on having her sell my own property in the next 2-3 years

  • Vanessa is an outstanding realtor! She is experienced, professional, and thorough. She worked very hard at selling our condo and achieved a successful result in seven days. She was flexible and adjusted her listing strategy based on the complex nature of our situation. Vanessa is calm and cool, shows compassion and consideration, and gets the job done. Thank you, Vanessa.

  • When my mother and I began searching for homes I was so afraid of the process. Until I was introduced to Vanessa Klein. She not only guided, and helped throughout the process; but made this process such a great experience. She truly is invested on the best interest of the buyer! I'm forever grateful that she helped my mom, and I, make our dream of owning a home come true ! Her knowledge in the real estate industry is incomparable.

    - Buyer- Yahaira P. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yelp Review
  • I am so glad I found Vanessa to help me purchase my first home. She is a wonderful agent! Vanessa was very patient with me in my indecisiveness. She explained the process of purchasing a home very thoroughly and helped me feel at ease and confident when I finally purchased my first home. Years later, I returned to her to help me sell my first home. My home sold quickly! Thanks to Vanessa!

    - Seller and Buyer - Carmen L ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yelp Review
  • Vanessa was an incredible resource in helping navigate the competitive real estate market here in the Bay Area. Not only was she able to help us secure a contract in this multiple bidding environment, but she also smoothly managed the escrow closing process in the purchase of my new home! Her professionalism, understanding of the clients needs and attention to detail is impressive and I would highly recommend her services for the buying or selling of your next home!

    - Buyer - Garry Kofler, Oakland ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zillow Review
  • Vanessa was great, she gave us great advise and was able to get us much more then we expected. She helped us every step of the way and kept us in the loop at every step.

    - Seller -CCorder4 -Glen Eden Hayward ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zillow Review
  • She is prompt at replying back - emails or texts. And returns phone calls as soon as she can.She knows Fremont really well and introduced us to areas, streets that we were not aware of but which met our criteria. She has been doing this for years and has the logistics part of it down well. She showed us a few properties first and got a sense of what we liked. Then she would send us properties that she was sure we would consider and also some that were a bit different from our criteria but could work.

    - Buyer - user88553 Fremont ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zillow Review
  • Vanessa is all you can hope for in a realtor. She helped my family get into our first home. We began our hunt in Oct '15 and we had our keys mid-Nov '15. Our keys were for a home in a highly desirable and competitive city in the Bay Area, where decent turn key, affordable homes are rare to find. I can say with full confidence that we would not be in our new home if it were not for Vanessa. She helped us understand and guided us through every step of the buying process, she worked very closely with our lender, the seller, inspectors, etc. She squeezed our bid in before the offer date, avoided an open house, helped us negotiate a great price and work needed on the house, and ultimately blew us away with her expertise, commitment, and character. She was a great realtor to work with from start to finish, has more than enough knowledge about the Bay Area as well as houses (helps you not invest in a dump!), and made the entire process enjoyable and stress free. I HIGHLY recommend anyone that's seeking their first or dream home to get in touch with her!

    - Buyer - ChristinaChurchill39 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zillow Review
  • It was truly a pleasure dealing with Vanessa. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and dedicated. We live out of state and she handled EVERYTHING for us. Not only did she handle the sale of our house, but advised us and handled renovations, landscaping etc. to ensure that we got the best price for our property. Vanessa was always available by phone or email. We highly recommend Vanessa Klein!!!!

  • Vanessa has been our real state agent since we sold our first house and we are now in our 4th transaction with her; all of them have been super quick and smooth. She is very knowledgeable and has the right contacts for a seamless experience. She goes above and beyond even helping you getting the right contacts from getting a mortgage to do/plan any renovations. When it comes to negotiating terms, price or any other conditions, you can not be in better hands than with her. We are super grateful to have her as our real estate professional and would recommend her hands down.

    - Seller and Buyer - Luis_Tadeo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zillow Review
  • Excellent advertising skills. Patient and very professional with the over all process. Would highly recommend for anyone moving near or far. I had a wonderful experience moving moving out of states and have nothing but great things to say about Vanessa.

  • Vanessa is my go to person for all my real needs or questions or updates. I bought my first home in Fremont, California through Vanessa.The moment I switched to Vanessa, she was exceptional. Very crisp and clear. What I liked the most was she is very professional, very organized and moreover she negotiates and makes deals with full dedication.

    - Buyer - Prakash0700 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zillow Review
  • It was simply wonderful working with Vanessa. We were on two opposite coasts. I was in boston trying to buy a condo sight unseen. Vanessa worked with me and my son and his wife to find me the perfect home in Walnut Creek . She really listened to what I wanted in a new place. She was patient and always professional in dealing with the vagaries of a long distance purchase. I feel like we had a perfect partnership and I was a bit high maintenance . But she never let that show. I highly recommend her. A true pleasure to work with!!!!

    - Buyer - Judy Beal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
  • It was an absolute pleasure working with Vanessa to sell my condo. Actually, she did all the work. Vanessa and I met prior to my decision to sell the condo. She walked me through the selling process, pointing out all the issues I might encounter. She was very knowledgeable as to the marketing aspects of the Bay Area.She had a plan on how best to market my property. Her suggestions for improvements proved to be the reason for the above asking price sale.Vanessa's communication skills are fantastic. She kept me informed at all times. Any questions I had were quickly responded to and addressed.A friend of mine recently sold their home. But, they forgot to cancel their insurance policy. Vanessa provided a timeline. She listed the exact dates that I was to cancel all third-party commitments such as utilities, cable, mail, insurance, change of address, etc.Vanessa's professionalism was exemplary. I know I annoyed her sometimes with my novice suggestions. She listened attentively and explained in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. I took her advice and am very glad I did. I saw her working with contractors and she treated themall with professionalism. All title and escrow appointments were scheduled timely. She knew my financial situation and worked to have the funds deposited immediately.It was a pleasure working with Vanessa. She worked very hard to guide me and get me a great price for the condo.

  • The best agent in the BayIt will be hard to put into words the great experience I had working with Vanessa. The professionalism, knowledge and expertise Vanessa brings to the table is unmatched. I worked with Vanessa 9 months on closing on my first home. As a first time homebuyer the process was daunting, but Vanessa gave me all the information and tools needed to make the process smooth. From beginning to end I felt comfortable and informed about my purchase. I am almost positive that my contract would have fallen through without Vanessa's diligence and extra effort working with my lender and HOA and the seller's agent. Vanessa also informed me about downpayment assistance programs to make sure I could get more for my hard earned money. My lender didn't even make me aware of a program available that assisted with 46k to my purchase! I am so grateful for Vanessa and all that she did to help me get these 4 walls!

    - Buyer - Cherie Baker ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
  • Vanessa helped us sell our home while we were also buying a new home. She was an amazing partner in getting it done within our tight timeframe. Selling while also trying to buy is an incredibly stressful time; and Vanessa's deep knowledge, professionalism, and skill to keep us on our timeline was invaluable. She knew just what to do, say, or recommend when it came to our questions or concerns. She always made us feel that we were the ultimate decision makers, but after working with her - she knows this market inside out and upside down - and I'd recommend Vanessa to anyone buying or selling. You can trust her expertise!

    - Seller, Probate Sale - Vaughn Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google review
  • Words can't express the professional that you receive in having Vanessa represent you as either a buyer or seller. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Bay Area market, she knows how to price your property for top dollar, she has a phenomenal attention to detail and always has her clients' back and best interest. She can do the most complex of real estate transactions and deliver in record time. I just purchased my dream property which was the fulfillment of a long held personal goal and it was made possible with Vanessa's top notch skill set and negotiation. There's only one realtor that I truly consider when it comes to Bay Area real estate. It's Vanessa.

    - Seller - Saundra G ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yelp Review
  • Vanessa was personable and wonderful to work with as my real estate agent. Her communication on the day to day status on the progress of selling my house was spectacular.

  • Vanessa is the best. It's as simple as that. Her expertise was evident throughout our entire home buying process. She was responsive to all of our questions and requests. Her extensive knowledge of different neighborhoods was very helpful. Vanessa was right, when we found "our" house, we would know it. I would highly recommend Vanessa and will use no one else for any future real estate transactions in the East Bay.

    - Buyer - Diane Brannigan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
  • Vanessa seamlessly helped through our first home-buying experience. We could not have asked for a better agent. She is communicative, responsive, and timely to answer any questions. More importantly, she really takes the time to get to know your needs, and then is very proactive about finding prospective properties that might be a fit.Best of all, we never found Vanessa to be pushy in any way whatsoever. She is 110% respectful, and we really felt she had our best interest in mind at every turn.We will recommend Vanessa to any friends buying or selling property, and would use her services again in a heartbeat if we ever need to buy or sell again. 10/10!

    - Buyer - Solomon Reisberg ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review
  • Vanessa was amazing to work with. She helped me with an estate sale, which was a bit challenging. Her connections and experience really helped get the work done on the house and she was incredibly responsive and forward thinking. I so appreciated her and recommend her!

    - Seller, Successor Trustee Sale - Karin Jacobson - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Google Review
  • Vanessa has helped us and multiple friends buy and sell homes. The reason for choosing Vanessa and why I always refer Vanessa to anyone in the market is because Vanessa really know her business. From familiarity with the location (East Bay), to how she markets the sale of a home with a dedicated website and quality flyers on thick card stock and full color photos you can rest assured she will quickly sell your home at the best price. If you're looking for a home, Vanessa is patient and always available to communicate and review available listings. Vanessa is an honest communicator and because of her real estate experience she has a great feel for real market conditions and will always communicate those to you. As a strategic negotiator, Vanessa knows how to graciously and honestly buy and sell your property professionally dealing with other agents. You always feel like you're part of team while going through the buying or selling process. No surprises, Vanessa always has your best interest at heart.
