"Marisa Atamian I could not have done "it" without her. My first inspection. My first mortgage. My first house. I was entirely too comfortable in my rent controlled SF apartment. For years. Ten in fact. It was time. I am single and wanted something that resembled a Summer. Those two things got me to the East Bay and I was fortunate to find my way to Marissa. I am without anyone in my life that knows real estate. Knows real estate in Oakland. Knows mortgages to get a mortgage to buy real estate in Oakland. Marissa Atamian walked me through every step. Every single one. She made me believe in myself and that I could do this. It was the biggest thing that I have ever done in my life and I always thought that I would be in a relationship holding a hand when I took this enormous step. I am not and it was not necessary. I had Marisa. Marisa gave me just the perfect amount of reference materials. She drove me through each and every neighborhood that was remotely possible in my low price range in Berkeley and Oakland. She told me pros and cons of each. She never made me feel that my price range was not worth her time. Never. She connected me with anyone that I needed to talk to for each step and made appointments for anyone that I needed appointments with. . . inspectors, electricians, plumbers . . . She made it easy and she made it possible. Period. I have a house now and Marisa is the reason. A year and a half after my purchase I experienced a nightmare of a refinance. Once again, Marisa came to the rescue with advice and support. She got involved and helped to resolve an ugly situation. She alleviated the knot in my stomach. Outstanding customer service as always and there was nothing in it for her. She has extremely high standards and the client is the beneficiary. As a single woman, I could do it. Marisa gave me all of the tools, support, friendship, and confidence. It was a sincere pleasure to work with her and I look forward to my next real estate purchase with her . . . someday." - MICHELLE O. VIA YELP.

"I'm absolutely convinced I own my "perfect-for-me" Rockridge home because of Marisa Atamian at Alain Pinel Realtors. Marisa's approach, her attention to detail and her thorough knowledge of the East Bay are a tremendous combination. MARISA HAD THE AMAZING ABILITY TO "GET INTO MY HEAD," understanding my must-haves and vision for the lifestyle I wanted, while educating me with market realities. She was flexible and worked with my demanding work schedule, she organized and prioritized listings and was never shy about giving me candid insight on the neighborhoods where I was looking. Marisa's TIRELESS ADVOCACY AND COUNSEL WERE INSTRUMENTAL AS WAS HER GUIDANCE IN THE AREA OF OLDER HOMES. MARISA KEPT ME SANE with an educated approach to what can be a very emotional process - she always had hard data to substantiate her suggestions. Knowing also that Marisa spent 3 years completely refurbishing her 1920's home gave me the confidence to step into the market feeling well-informed and well-represented. We closed escrow at the end of May on the most beautiful home - not just a home but "THE home!!" EVEN AFTER WE CLOSED, MARISA WAS STILL HARD AT WORK PROVIDING ME WITH CONTACTS and recommendations from her expansive network of contractors, handy-men and all the other resources I needed to feel at ease in my gorgeous little abode" - ALISON E.
