Ratings & Reviews
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.
