The Care Behind Every Story

Anda is an incredible Realtor. She helped us purchase our first home and she came very well recommended by our friend. She helped us get our dream home across 3 bids and helped us in every step until close and beyond. It was a true partnership. She approached each interaction with care, empathy, coaching and professionalism. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trusted partner in their real estate journey. When you can tour most homes virtually via Zillow or other sites, what truly sets a realtor apart is how they approach every interaction with you and how they support you in every piece of the buying and selling process. Anda overdelivered in each of that facet.

Anda has now helped us purchase two homes in the East Bay. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, digs deep into the data for every home we’ve been interested in, and is highly dedicated to ensuring our goals are met during the buying process. The difference with Anda is her competence combined with her heart; you may find one or the other in an agent, but Anda brings both. She deeply cares that her clients find their forever home and bends over backward a thousand times to make it happen. We recommend her to every friend looking to purchase in the area.

As my elderly parents’ health needs grew beyond the expertise of their family’s help, I began to review the many real estate sales brochures that had been sent to their home. The claims of extensive local knowledge, the current housing market in the current economic climate as well as a home’s condition and its impact on the marketplace were essentially the same. I left messages with the different offices / agents to set up an introductory meeting. I stated the location of my parents’ home, the urgency of getting the house on the market and the need to get the best price as possible from this sale. The only call I received in regards to my inquiries was from Anda Margine with Medford Realty. At our first meeting she and her team came prepared with the local home sale information from 2019 that matched the square footage, year of construction, quality of the neighborhood, and current existing condition of my parents’ home. We were able to ascertain from that 1st meeting what their house could sell for on the spot and what the listing price might be if we upgraded this 60 year old home. We even had an approximate idea of the money that would be needed for these repairs. And this information was indeed accurate. Plus, we were lucky to be matched up with a couple, new to the marketplace, but anxious to get settled in to their first home. Despite being under quarantine and the impact of Covid-19 on the marketplace, the sale of the home went smoothly for both the buyer and the seller.

We had a very pleasant home buying experience working with Anda. She was proactive in her communication with all the parties involved and gave us all the key resources to aid in the decision making process. She has a well informed and friendly approach and was always available for questions. Anda is definitely someone you want on your side in your home buying journey. Highly recommend her!

How lucky are we to have met you! You helped us with our first home purchase. Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication. You are a very thoughtful and considerate real estate agent. You have a natural gift of connecting with others in a genuinely caring way- you're not just selling homes but making dreams come through. We are very impressed by your professionalism, efficiency and patience. You remembered small details of our likes and dislikes, provided analysis to help us with a decision and never pressured us into buying. But most importantly you never forgot about us even after closing. We really appreciate your expertise, wisdom and guidance and couldn't imagine buying a home without you. You are one in a million and now a valuable and trusted friend.“A great Realtor is hard to find, difficult to part and impossible to forget.”

As we look back upon this busy year, Marilyn and I would like to take the time to acknowledge the important part Steve played in it ! After our decision to list the house to sell, we interviewed several local realtors to represent us. That turned out to be a worthwhile process, and one that we are very happy to have taken the time to do. We were looking for a realtor with proven experience, attention to detail, responsive to our needs and guidance in the overall sales process. Imagine how pleased we were to get all of that, and so much more, by selecting Steve as our Realtor. From preparing to list, to the actual closing date of the sale, Steve's caring responsive manner and legal background helped us tremendously. We just can't emphasize enough how impressed we were with Steve's honesty and integrity. Absolute "must have" in a real estate agent in our opinion. We highly recommend Steve as a Realtor to anyone !!!

Steve Pierce handled the sale of two homes in which we had invested with other people. He was very knowledgeable on all areas of the complicated transactions that had to be undertaken on the sale of the properties. He kept "on top" of things in every aspect. He guided us in making decisions and in employing contractors to do repairs. We feel that he did an excellent job for us and if we can ever refer anyone to him and your firm, we most certainly will.

We felt Steve advised us well on how to prepare the house for sale, on setting the proper asking price, on establishing the criteria for evaluating the offers that we received, and on selecting the successful one. The entire process was smooth and relatively stress free. We realize that such an outcome is neither inevitable nor accidental — it comes about only as a result of sound advice, good planning, and error-free execution. We were also appreciative of how available and responsive Steve was, and how he was able to accommodate our travel schedule during the time our house was on the market. All in all, we felt this was a successful transaction and are appreciative of the role Steve played in bringing it about.
