Alonya Buford

Alonya was recommended by a trusted friend, and exceeded even that strong recommendation. She listened closely to what I wanted, and identified a hidden gem that I ended up purchasing. She helped with a lot of tricky steps and connected me with great contractors. Because I was living hundreds of miles away from the house I bought and moved in to, she met many of my neighbors before me, and facilitated the great relationships I have with them now. I could not be happier.

Alonya’s attentiveness, knowledge and proactive style of work was fundamental to help me find a home. Not just a house but a place I can call home. She welcomed my many questions, most of them out of my anxiety around the process as a first home buyer, especially during December and all the holidays! She would take that as an opportunity to learn what I wanted and provide me with options that would interest me. And she was so on point! She also took time to make me familiar with the area I was interested in, explaining the possibilities of enjoying things I wanted in the neighborhood, which is in the East Oakland area. This process can involve a tone of deadlines, documents and papers and it can be very overwhelming and I worried I could miss or forget things but she was very diligent in juggling contacting the multiple parties, from the loan office to the sellers agent in a way that I trusted that I’d count on her guidance to keep me up to date, although also in my own pace as I made my decision on which place to buy. I appreciate you, Alonya!

Alyona was a pleasure to work with for the disposition of a 4 unit apartment building that we inherited from our parents. Her knowledge of the market was clear during her sales presentation, and me and my siblings are glad that we hired her. She was responsive, organized, and very easy to work with. She handled the communications with the tenants and the property manager flawlessly. She was respectful of the tenant's time when scheduling the inspections and showings. She had a clear strategy for the marketing of the property that resulted in 15 offers, and she did a great job negotiating a final sales price over the asking. I highly recommend Alonya for your real estate needs!

Alonya is an excellent realtor who provides a wonderful combination of high skill, service, and compassion.

We met Alonya in 2019 thanks to a referral from our brother, who is also a Keller agent on the East Coast. Over the past four years, off and on, Alonya has patiently worked with us as we navigated the different seasons of this very turbulent and competitive East Bay housing market as first-time homebuyers. We tapped out of the search more than once and when we were ready to dive back in she was always ready to resume.

We have been impressed by her excellent team and network. For every phase of this process, from lenders to haulers, she can refer you to a reliable service that can get you to the next step.

Alonya is easy to work with. She always answers thoughtfully, meeting you where you are, and infusing a lot of levity and laughter.

All in all, it has been a great experience, and we would highly recommend Alonya Buford.

Alonya made the whole process painless from the listing to the close. She kept us informed of everything required and answered our questions when necessary. We would have never gotten to the finish line without her patience and guidance.
