Mariela Rivera, INTERO Real Estate - San Bruno, California

Luz Raygoza-G.

I have been wanting to expand my home for a few years now but really didn’t know where to begin. I connected with Mariela as I was thinking the better option may be selling and purchasing a new home.

Mariela would have financially benefited from me selling / buying a home with her, but she didn’t provide that option at all. Instead, she asked questions regarding what I was looking to do, why I wanted to sell / buy, and what my needs were. She suggested a different route, which was to explore loans to finance an expansion project. She took the time to explain the benefits of expanding my home versus selling it.

She offered to schedule an appointment for me, and her lender rather than provide me with contact information. Not only did she follow through booking our appointment but also sat in with me to help guide the conversation and made sure all my questions and doubts were addressed.

Both Alan (the lender I spoke with) and Mariela provided invaluable information in the most professional, knowledgeable and compassionate manner. They encouraged questions and throughout the conversation, explored different options (including pros and cons to each) along with their professional opinions while putting themselves in my shoes. For me, that is priceless.

Because taking a loan at this time was not going to be as beneficial as it could in the future, Alan offered to take my information to contact me when timing was better (interest rates are too high right now).

Mariela also offered to connect me to contractors, designers etc. that I may find useful as I plan for my future project.

Mariela and Alan showed they have my best interest in mind as they helped guide me to the decision of waiting versus pressuring me into a loan.

I encourage you to reach out to Mariela if you are thinking about buying / selling. Her actions show she values her customers. She is professional, transparent, reliable and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend Mariela for your real estate needs. She helped us sell our former home and purchase our new one. The process with her was quick, easy, and seamless. She provided excellent service and was very responsive to our needs, providing direct and easy-to-understand communication and strong negotiating skills. Her marketing strategy was top of the line. Our home sold in 5 days, well over asking price! Additionally, to sell and purchase our home, we needed to follow a strict timeline and Mariela helped us create and execute all the demands in a calm and supportive way. We recommend her for your real estate goals!

Mariela helped us sell our old condo and purchase our new home last month. The turn around was quick and smooth. We could not have done it without her organization and hard work! She was professional, responsive, and helpful. She stayed in regular communication, kept us on a timeline, and helped us to achieve our real estate goals.

After months of looking for an apartment I received a call from Mariela. She responded to my message about an apartment very quickly and I was so happy to hear from her because it is so hard now a days to get a hold of anyone about apartment viewings/info. She quickly made an appt for us to view the listing, sent us the application and that same day we signed for the process to begin. A couple days later we found out the apartment was ours! And she even made sure our dog was able to join us since the owner originally didn’t prefer pets. She’s very communicative and and this whole process was easy going. Being able to communicate to txt/email made the process smooth and quick.The Intero office was welcoming and I definitely recommend her service for anyone. Thank you for helping us find our first place and I hope we can work together in the future for the next!

Mariela did great work with showing me an apartment and going extra mile to meet second time and to explain things around for a newcomer tenants
