She was very attentive to all my questions and concerns and had my best interest in mind. I thank her for all she’s done for me and my family. I would whole heartedly recommend Charlene as an agent!! I hope to have Charlene by my side for my next home purchase!"-Rachel Tong

"We had the most incredible experience working with Charlene as our agent! She had a great understanding of the Los Gatos market, knew exactly what our needs were, was PATIENT, extremely responsive and knowledgeable and we felt she really advocated for us on the negotiation process with the sellers. I was thoroughly impressed at the level of service she provided and can’t imagine going through this process alongside anyone else. Even after closing, she had been a great resource and willing to answer questions about taxes, building permits, etc. She has an incredible eye for design, which was an added bonus, as she was able to help us visualize how our home could work for us. 10/10 would recommend Charlene!"-Bobbi & Nathan Vandegrift

"Charlene did an excellent job representing me in the sale of my home. She took a detailed approach by looking at comparable properties and the overall market to help me get the best price possible. She went above and beyond to make sure that our home was staged to perfection and appealed to a broad audience of buyers. I received multiple offers with just a few days on the market and were able to close immediately with ease. Thank you for everything you did!"-Stephanie Petersen
