When we decided to buy our first home, there was no question who we’d go to. A family-run business with deep ties in the Bay Area that made us feel like we were part of their family. If you’re looking for true real estate experts with generations of knowledge, look no further. Elena took the time to get to know us, and what key things we were looking for, and was honest and kept us grounded through the whole process. When buying a house you need a realtor, a best friend for support, and a therapist to manage the rollercoaster of emotions. Elena was all those things and more. Houses move fast but Elena moves faster! She was super responsive anytime we had a question and truly by our side at every moment. When we only had a few hours to get an offer on our dream house, Elena was like lightning. We got the house and still can’t believe how lucky we are! It wasn’t luck or magic, it was havin…

It wasn’t luck or magic, it was having a powerhouse like Elena on our side. We can’t recommend Elena enough!
Working with Elena was an easy choice. She has vast experience and knowledge in the market. She gave me great advice on how to stage my home and what color palette worked best while I was doing minor touch-ups to get my home ready for her to list. It was listed and within 3 days I accepted an offer above asking! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Elena Barbagelata is one of the best realtors I know. I first met her while she was selling a unit in my building She is charming, engaging, and totally trustworthy. She knows her work inside out. She puts a lot of work into getting the property ready and does not let her clients down. I would hire her in a heartbeat.
Elena became my real estate agent by way of a referral from a friend. Not only is she born and raised in the real estate business, a native of San Francisco and long-term resident of Marin, but the wealth of information she offers is simply extraordinary. There was an answer or referral for everything I ever needed. It was a huge break for me to have found her because I needed some serious hand-holding. My husband unexpectedly passed away of COVID a few years earlier and I found myself moving back to Marin from NYC—alone, and a little afraid. Her abundantly positive energy gave me the confidence I needed to keep looking until I found exactly the home I’d dreamed of. She is gifted in her chosen profession and my experience was made so much more pleasant and successful having Elena by my side.
