"Sharon was our agent when we purchased our first house in Willow Glen. My husband and I were first-time homebuyers. It was scary for us not knowing too much about the real estate market and the home purchase process. But Sharon made it easy for us. She was very thorough and explained all the steps in details. She also worked around with our schedule and met with us after hours at our convenience. During the offering and closing process, Sharon was always available if we had questions and she always took care of them timely. Besides these, her expertise and familiarity of the Willow Glen market proved to work in our favor. After a couple weeks of house hunting, she knew our styles and was able to help us find a house we love. It took lots of efforts to buy a house, but Sharon made it as less painful as possible. I would highly recommend Sharon to others looking to buy or sell their home. You will not be disappointed!" CLIENTS: Yooki Zheng and Jiangtian Nie - Willow Glen

When my husband and I decided we wanted to start looking for a new home in the South Bay, we had a wide range of neighborhoods in consideration. Sharon quickly mobilized to take us around the neighborhoods on our list. Her deep knowledge of the South Bay helped us narrow that list down and prioritize. When we lucked out and found our dream house on the second weekend of house hunting, Sharon immediately got to work to help us submit a competitive offer and supported us in every capacity through our close process. She went above and beyond, making extra trips over to the house for us during the closing period when we couldn't make it due to distance and/or work. Sharon's knowledge, availability, flexibility around our schedules, and overall support were incredibly valuable to us throughout this process. She even connected us with the agent we worked with to sell our previous home. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a home in San Jose! CLIENTS: Emma and Henry Phan - Cambrian

Selling my home of 22 years was an emotional and intensive process for me. I could never have done it in the time frame I needed and with all of the polish I wanted without Sharon’s expertise, contacts, and enthusiastic energy. Sharon made all the difference when selling my home. There are so many things to do up front in order to have a professional, successful selling experience and be able to appeal to the greatest range of buyers. I had no idea of the complexity of information and rules and regulations when selling a home today, but Sharon certainly does. She knows which reports and certifications that you will need to have and in what time frame they need to be done to meet your sales timeline. Sharon doesn’t just give you a list of to do’s. If you need work done, she has recommendations for competent professionals, and she has the wonderful ability to negotiate time frames and fair pricing to keep your sales time line moving forward. What I’m trying to convey is that Sharon is such a well-organized project planner that you will have dates on your calendar and know where you are in the process so you feel more in control. Sharon will respect your style and availability and always looks for ways to help keep the process moving. My home needed some polishing up to stand out and get the best sales price. Sharon had wonderful ideas and excellent contacts to get these things done. Who knew that companies will perform work/upgrades and take payment out of escrow, instead of you having to pay up front? She went over all the possibilities, pros and cons so that I could make well informed decisions about how much I wanted to do. When the polishing up was underway, Sharon suggested a wonderful organizer/packer to help me get the home ready to sell. She also brought in an amazing stager who had great suggestions for the finishing touches to really bring out the best in my home. I was so thrilled to see the final result and it made an excellent impact on my bottom line. Once we were ready to list, Sharon’s resources at Coldwell Banker were there immediately with a professional photographer for the online house tour and brochures. Sharon studied all the comparables in my area and consulted her various resources to set a listing price that would bring in the best range of potential buyers, set up open houses and within the sale time frame we had originally set, I had multiple, excellent offers for my home, all over asking price.
I am so happy to recommend Sharon as the realtor for you! CLIENT: Victoria Lovetro - Cambrian

Prior to my retirement in August 2023, I found myself in the position to sell my Willow Glen home of 20 years and buy a new home in preparation of getting a fresh start in retirement. As I received competing input from friends regarding my new home search, Sharon was incredibly patient and helpful in taking me to tour homes in many different parts of the Bay Area and in a targeted areas of Santa Cruz County. Sharon and I did some initial home shopping in August 2022, then took a pause as Sharon also helped with advising me, extensively, on the kitchen upgrade I decided to do in order to have a more updated home to sell. I would then place the funds from my home sale toward the purchase of a home for retirement. With Sharon as my realtor for both, my home sale and my new home purchase, it was like having a half dozen professionals in one well-organized, collaborative individual. She has an amazing knowledge of not just the complex real estate market, but also of home structure and design, and she uncovered and consulted on what might be issues for me as a home buyer. Sharon also has exceptional analytical skills to provide comprehensive analysis on comparable homes in my neighborhood and collaborated with me to set a competitive, appropriate listing price for my Willow Glen home, which she sold successfully, and also met my high expectations for the sale. Sharon has relationships with staging professionals and Sharon provided the staging to sell my home. I was absolutely ecstatic with the staging and know it helped bring appealing offers for a successful home sale. Many thanks to Sharon for all the driving, touring, researching, troubleshooting, investigating, analyzing, inspecting, counseling, contracting, and ultimately selling my wonderful Willow Glen home, followed by negotiating and sealing the deal on my purchase of a beautiful “home sweet home” for retirement in the peaceful, lovely beach community of Aptos, California. It is with enthusiasm and gratitude that I highly recommend Sharon to others to buy and/or sell a home. CLIENT: Carolyn Ferrari - Willow Glen and Aptos

It was a real pleasure working with Sharon! Especially as first time sellers. She was very organized and hands-on throughout the whole process. She showed us what we could do in preparation for selling to help us get the most money for our home. She helped us complete some tasks inside the house--she even painted a bedroom and closet herself! CLIENTS: Matt and Maricate Mangoni, Blossom Valley

Sharon did a wonderful job as our listing realtor through the entire process, beginning with beautifully updating our condo prior to sale through finalizing any last minute details after close of escrow. She is very organized and created a detailed timeline which kept us on schedule and addressing next steps in the order to be most efficient. She created a spreadsheet detailing all costs that we discussed and agreed on at the beginning so we had no monetary surprises, and she updated it with actual cost comparisons so we knew every step of the way where our budget was, how much we spent and what was left to be done/purchased. She helped us research material and items for the upgrades and had readily available contacts for any work to be done. She also brought in a stager/interior decorator to give feedback on the upgrades which helped steer us in keeping a cohesive and appealing final look. Sharon is involved in every step, will walk you through every process and explain anything you have questions about, and is available whenever you need her. We were never left wondering what needed to be done and how to get it done. We also had the added stress of selling the property through a 1031 exchange and Sharon made sure we were all educated on the process and knew what to expect, and had everyone in place for a smooth transaction. Soon after we put our condo on the market several other identical units were also listed in the same complex, Sharon negotiated and got ours sold while the others still remained on the market several months later. She is dedicated, diligent, organized and honest. CLIENTS: Adrienne and Joe Hagerty - West San Jose

After Sharon beautifully updated my home to sell and then successfully sold it at a fantastic price in June 2023, I decided to work with her again, this time as a buyer to purchase a home! My goal was to downsize. I was interested in buying a mobile home, but having never lived in one, I didn't know much about them or the various parks. Sharon drove me around to see at least 10 parks which helped me determine which would be the best for me. Sharon then helped me compare available homes based on my wants and needs. With her eye for space and design, she was able to suggest remodel options (which later allowed me to increase the size of one bathroom and reconfigure the space to add another room). She then helped me with offer pricing which allowed me to place a winning bid against the competition of 2 other buyers. The whole process was fast and smooth with no issues. Sharon is an excellent realtor. She's very knowledgeable, stays on top of every detail, is highly available, and she never left me wondering what would happen next. I highly recommend Sharon for both buyers or sellers. CLIENT: Vicky Lovetro - Quail Hollow in San Jose
