Working with Jean to sell our home in Castro Valley was an absolute pleasure. She helped us sell our house for well over the listing price, and we were in escrow with a buyer after just 8 days on the market! The entire process was incredibly smooth and stress-free, all thanks to Jean’s expert guidance. Jean made all the behind-the-scenes work easy, from finding an excellent stager to working with a responsive title company, and even putting us in touch with a contractor to refresh the house before listing. Her attention to detail and ability to coordinate everything made a world of difference. Jean’s vast knowledge of the local real estate market truly sets her apart. She is not only highly skilled but also listens to her clients and communicates consistently, making sure we were always informed every step of the way. It's clear that Jean genuinely cares about her clients and their needs, which is evident in how she stays in touch long after the transaction is done. What makes this experience even more special is that my wife and I worked with Jean to buy the very same home 7 years ago. We were so impressed with her back then that there was no question she was the right person to help us sell. Once again, Jean exceeded our expectations, and we knew we were in the best hands throughout the entire process. I can't recommend Jean highly enough!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

From the moment my wife and I stepped into Jean's office, we knew we were going to be taken care of. Jean is an exceptional realtor who stopped at nothing to ensure we were able to purchase our dream house. Buying a house in the Bay Area is extremely difficult-- nearly impossible, in many instances-- but Jean came through every step of the way and even got us the first house we bid on! What we really appreciated about Jean was her responsiveness, compassion, and behind-the-scenes work with the lender, listing agent, and title company. Jean's dedication ensured escrow closed on time, and her skills shined throughout the process. I cannot recommend Jean enough!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Jean was a great guide in making my first home purchase. She was responsive to my inquiries, checking with seller agents to get answers to the questions I had about the property, and giving me advice on what to look for (and what to avoid!). When I ended up finding what would become my future home, she managed to get me in before the official listing time, which may have made the difference in my ending up with a successful purchase. And when I made an offer, she handled all the negotiations and got me a great deal. I highly recommend Jean as a buyers' agent.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Jean is the one. I had left a previous agent because I felt like I was not being take care of. I was fortunate to have gotten in contact with Jean and the rest was history. Jean exemplifies the meaning of “you before I”. My family had specific things they wanted in a house and Jean tried her best to find one that met our needs and budget. Her communication skills are far superior than most. She was able to find the answers to our assorted questions and get back to us in such a timely manner. Being a first time buyer, she made the process as easy as it could be. Throughout it all, Jean provided honesty and consistency. Even after finding our home, she still stays true; keeping in touch to see if everything is going well. If anybody is seeking an agent who truly cares about them, I would highly recommend Jean Calbonero.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Jean is absolutely amazing as a realtor. Working with her was refreshing and relaxing throughout a very tough and competitive market. Jean was dedicated and easy to get in touch with. The fact that she put aside her own interests (increased commission) and guided us through to make choices that were best for us was commendable. Very few real estate professionals operate with the level of integrity and dedication that Jean demonstrates.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Jean was awesome to work with and this review is LONG overdue! We began working with Jean while thinking we would be moving to the East Bay but in the process we decided on the South Bay instead. Even though it was not the original area we had planned Jean helped us pivot and find our new home. She made navigating everything we first time home buyers needed assistance with and went above and beyond our wildest dreams. Thanks Jean!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

The home buying process can be very stressful for most and with me being a first time homebuyer it felt like a nightmare going into it. However, Jean did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire process and ensured not only my needs were being met but also that my must haves and/or non-negotiables were taken into consideration. I honestly don’t think I can buy my next property if I’m not working with Jean again, that’s how much of an impact she made on me.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Jean was very helpful throughout the whole process. We spent three months going through the process of finding a home. We made multiple offers on other place, but it didn’t quite fall into place, until we found the home we have now. She was ready and proactive when it came to homes we wanted to see. With this home, she kept us updated on everything, from negotiations, inspections, etc. She had knowledge of the area and was confident in what she was doing. With this being our first home, we have a great experience so far. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
