The naysayers told us all the bad newsnow is not the time to sell, have you seen interest rates, your house wont sell for what you think it will when we decided to sell during the winter of 2024. But, we put our trust in a realtor who had helped neighbors sell their home a couple of years earlier. Holly Noto is the realtor. She made our lives so much easier, and lessened fearssharing data, her 25 years experience as a San Carlos realtor while adding her "special sauce" of unwavering calmness, kindness and professionalism. She had resources to help us get our house ready to sell, wonderful ideas to bring out the best in our home, and fantastic ideas for marketing our house in creative ways. You hire Holly, and soon you realize she has a whole team of experts to help make the selling of your home as easy as possible. Our house sold the first weekend! It sold for hundreds of thousands over the asking price. Hollys expertise not only sold our home quickly but helped bring our retirement dreams come true. We were completely happy with her service as our realtor. She is the best!

When suddenly faced with the decision to sell our home of 55 years, we felt stressed to say the least; however, Holly Noto and Eleni Giotinis quickly changed that landscape. We were fortunate to have two sets of very dear friends refer us to Holly and Eleni and our first meeting told us we had struck gold! While both Holly and Eleni do operate independently, one of their greatest strengths is their ability to work seamlessly as a team with a shared goal . . . serving their clients best interests. Holly and Eleni thoroughly explained every step in the process so there were no surprises . . . merely adjustments. So easy! Their broad knowledge of real estate, current market trends, timing for entering the market/setting listing price was invaluable in allowing us to sleep well throughout the entire process. They presented options and rationale for each situation; in other words, we always knew decision-making was ours. When asked for opinions they provided experiential background and current information on trends which strengthened our decision-making confidence; selling a home with Holly and Eleni is a smooth/comfortable process start to finish. Additionally, each of them provides prompt communication, warmth and lots of laughter; we never imagined wanting to slow our homes closing escrow because it meant no more shared times with these two stellar real estate agents! If youre seeking qualified real estate agents, whether buying or selling, look no further than Holly and Eleni. And if, like us, youre really fortunate, you may also find two dear friends.

Our property was scheduled to go to market when suddenly our tenant gave notice that they intended to vacate earlier than expected. Holly ramped up our schedule, brought in her team and gave suggestions to update the property for market. In no time at all, the property was completely updated with Holly personally picking out finishes and picking up accessories. Just days after going on the market, the property was sold to a very deserving and appreciative nurse. So impressed, easily the smoothest real estate transaction Ive experienced.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST REALTOR EVER!!!
I was selling a family home in Belmont, a 3 hour drive from my home. I interviewed 3 realtors. I knew immediately that Holly was the one for me. My husband and I had been emptying the house for a solid year - over 40 1 day round trips....ugh . We were completely burnt out by it. Holly, like a magic genie, swept into our lives as a very chill, super professional person and realtor. She gently took over our remodel and turned our little old house into a beauty we even considered keeping as a bay area get away spot. It was perfection. Me, being a bit controlling with design asked Holly to keep me in the loop with purchases and ideas. She's one of the very best communicators I have ever met. She always returned calls and sent multiple pics of items such a lighting, bathroom vanity, mirrors, you name it she followed through on her promise to keep me in the loop. As a baby boomer I was not in touch with what young families are looking for. Holly knew exactly what they were looking for!! Yay! I think I said a big YES to all of her suggestions. I completely trusted Holly from day 1 and it was a huge mental and physical relief to hand over the remodel to her. We were constantly and consistently impressed by her. She showed us what a true profession realtor can do for you.
Now that the sale is over and we made about 20% over asking and sold it in like 1 weekend, I miss her. I know if we lived closer, I'd definitely want to add Holly to my circle of friends. She's the best. Don't look any farther.
I had sold several family homes in the 5 years before meeting her and of all my realtors I absolutely loved Holly. She's uber professional, kind and understanding. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about anything remotely related to selling or buying a home.
If you have a change to work with her don't miss it. I only wish I had another home for Holly to list!!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN HOLLY THE WONDERFUL!!!!!

Holly and her team were great to work with. I found her on Zillow before relocating to the Bay area. She helped me find and preview many places for me which I could personally visit due to not being in the area or work. She was patient with me- never felt any pressure, understood my needs, and her knowledge and expertise helped me in negotiating a great deal. She is top notch and knows her stuff- Highly recommend her!
