Thank you Lena for making the sale of our house so carefree and helping us every step of the way from getting the house ready to the final sale. You were very professional. You were very easy to reach and always available to answer any questions we had 24 7. I would highly recommend Lena as she cares for her clients.

I am thrilled to pen down my experiences with Lena and her exceptional team who have demonstrated top-notch expertise and dedication in real estate.

We recently had the privilege of working with Lena during a house purchase that required a bit of sprucing up. Their commitment to our project was truly extraordinary. They excelled in every step of the process, operating far beyond our expectations, and made it a point to help us comprehend all the available options, necessary disclosures, and potential issues associated with the house.

Their proficient guidance was crucial as we ventured to remodel the house, which has resulted in an impressive 20% appreciation in equity right off the bat. Lena and her team were instrumental adjusting the sails just right for us to benefit the most from this venture.

It's rare to find a team with such a diverse set of expertise and a singular focus on their clients' unique needs and aspirations. Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend Lena and her team

We were happy to have Lena on our side from planning to get the property on the market, and pointed out all the small details that can help to get higher offers, to negotiate to get the higher offer.
The communication is top-notch. Lena is always available when we need her helps. We're looking forward to working with Lena again in the future.

Given this unsure market I have been weary to buy a house. However one of my friends referred me to the Strasser Silicon Valley Team in Menlo Park. Lena was ready to help me and overall the most professional agent I have ever worked with. She was a great negotiator and helped me get a good price for my house that I love.

I met Lena at an open house in my neighborhood and told her I was thinking of selling my house. Her team gave me great advice on selling our house and I decided to work with them. My husband and I are very impressed with their excellent support in selling our townhouse quickly and at a great price. Lena worked very hard to help us from start to finish. We really appreciated her work and would recommend her to anyone looking to sell their house.

I cannot say how much I loved working with Lena and her crew. Moving is hard, moving out of state with two toddlers is terrible, but moving with this team mad my life so much easier. From day 1 they worked with us on a timeline, they adjusted when things needed to be adjusted and still kept us on schedule. They helped us work out movers, packers, they took care of staging, cleaning & got us an amazing price. They were available almost around the clock getting us packing material and digging in personally to help ale sure things went smoothly. I didn’t have to worry about the little details because Lena took care of it. Lena is a gem! Don’t even think to hesitate bc she is there for you!

I moved from California to Colorado and needed help finding a realtor to work with in Colorado. Having known Lena as a realtor in California, I sought her advice. Lena immediately found a match for my needs in the Denver area. Lena’s connection with Compass realty and her unique skill in finding a realtor who would work well with me led to my ultimate success in purchasing a home in Colorado. Lena stayed in contact with me throughout the process to ensure that I had the best experience possible.

I’m really happy to meet Lena Gustafsson. She is a member of the Straser Silicon Valley Team. While we were buying this house, she always responded to me immediately when I asked questions . Her team helps me solve some problems, such as house prices, repair, dealing with utilities… Thank you - Lena Gustafsson and her team.

The real estate market since July 2022 has been softening everyday. The steep rising mortgage rates and tough underwriting requirements have caused a inordinate amount of DFT’s (Deal falling through) while the market is heading towards the low season post Thanksgivings. While most real estate agents would likely push deals through before the winter break, Lena was our advocate representing us as the buyer’s agent. She was trustworthy, diligent, meticulous and tenacious. I found it rare to meet a Gen Z with the old-school ethics of a Baby Boomer. Lena’s service to my wife and I didn’t stop at COE. Instead, she followed-through with the repairs so we could move-in smoothly. We were in good hands with Lena and would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends.

Lena transformed our home from top to bottom in time for our open house, creating a favorable bidding situation in what would be a current challenging market and secured a highly qualified buyer. After we conducted our initial search Lena & SSV were the very first team we called (based on their backgrounds and prior record home sale in Almaden Winery), and we invited them both to our home for the initial screening. We were very impressed with their presentation, pricing strategy, and the fact that they toured the home taking photos ready to get started which made our decision that much easier to select their services. It was a pleasure to cooperate with them throughout the sale process and later the purchase of a new property. I'd recommend anyone to cooperate with Lena for a real estate professional, based on our very pleasant and professional experience.

Lena did an amazing job as my agent for selling my single family home. I was truly impressed by her dedication and attention to detail. She was able to sense the market right and position the home well to fetch the price I was looking for. Everything from preparing the home, staging, marketing, timing the open houses etc was very well managed. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. I would strongly recommend using her services.

Lena and SSV are very professional and excellent on negotiate for your best interest. I have worked with them multiple times, and they exceeded on my expectation every time. They are very detail oriented as well, like they care about all the potential flaws that might impact on the sale value and help me addressed all of them before going on the market. In general, I'm very satisfied with their service, and will continue working with them for sure!

We had a wonderful experience working with Lena and the Straser Silicon Valley team. I don’t think we would have ever been able to buy a house without their help and support throughout the whole process. They were on top of the inventory and helped us find a house that was within our budget and also met our specifications in what we were most interested in. They helped us with every step in the process from putting an offer in to going through the contracts and even afterwards with some of the furnishings in the house, flooring, all sorts of stuff. They really hold your hand throughout the whole process which is really the best part of working with them. You’re important to them and they really want to help you with every single aspect of buying a house. We now own a house and it’s the best feeling ever and we are really grateful to Lena for getting us there!

Lena was off-the-charts exceptional. My property required a unique buyer, which she not only found, but were able to solicit multiple fair offers. Any buyers of my property were pretty much limited to builders, and they have an extensive contact list which they effectively leveraged. They also went above and beyond any reasonable efforts in getting the property ready for sale. You would have to be crazy not to use Lena. Seriously.

We have worked with Lena twice now, once to sell our home a couple years and once to buy a home recently. She’s responsive and goes above and beyond to help.
