Maureen Rishi

​ ★★★★★
"We could not imagine navigating this incredibly competitive market with anyone in our corner other than Maureen! She did everything in her power and worked tirelessly to make sure we found the perfect home for us. We learned so much about real estate during our time working with her - from bidding strategies and valuing a home to how to dissect an inspection report and keep an eye out for any red flags. She also taught us so much about different neighborhoods, fun parts of town, upcoming major changes to an area, and more that only a local would know. She also went above and beyond her role as a realtor at many times throughout the process, some examples being when she ensured the loan appraiser had strong comps to use when evaluating our house, and when we moved in and saw a welcome card and note in our new mailbox. The passion she has for her work shines through, and she truly is a wealth of knowledge in her field. We can't recommend her enough!" - Erica & Kyle

"We had the good fortune of getting to know Maureen Rishi as a neighbor in Los Altos. Though she later moved to the coast, we have remained in touch over the years. She was the first person who came to mind when we started shopping for a home on the coast, as she is the most honest and positive agent we have ever met. She knew just what we needed and was readily available to answer our questions. Every time we needed to communicate about areas of interest or specific properties, Maureen was honest and straightforward with us. She never pushed a sale, but guided us wisely. As she had first suggested, we found just the right beach get away in the community she had envisioned for us. Knowing that our kids were in college, she steered us to a community where they would be excited to spend time too. She managed an off market sale for us with professionalism and expertise. She knew just what to ask the selling agent in order to build the right offer with details that would appeal specifically to those sellers. Her communication skills, warmth, and perseverance made the difference! She used her magic to help us purchase the 2nd home of our dreams within our budget and in an ideal coastal location." - Melanie and Philip

"Maureen Rishi is a great realtor and a wonderful person who recently helped us find our first home in California after being here for twelve years. She worked tirelessly with us through the highs and lows of the very difficult and (at times) frustrating house search, offer and close process. Maureen developed a very professional and courteous relationship with the sellers’ agents and always guided us carefully to ensure we make a reasonable yet strong offer on each of the three properties that we wanted to purchase. Looking for the right home isn’t easy in the San Francisco Bay Area market but when we needed to see a new property on short notice (or see a property for the third or fourth time), Maureen always found time to meet with us on a moment’s notice. Maureen didn’t just provide real estate information and statistics about a particular property, she also provided insights and advice on what properties would be a good fit for us at this stage in our lives. Maureen’s lovely disposition and easy going style made us feel comfortable and confident that we would find a house that was just right for us. We are happy and grateful to have worked with Maureen!" - J Simion

"Maureen was able to find a beautiful new home for me in the Santa Cruz area, as well as sell my townhome in Aptos. The timing was important, in order to make it work and she really knew how to make this happen. I was so grateful to experience the full service she provided throughout the experience. She was always available for my many concerns, and from the beginning of our time to the end of closure on both homes was knowledgeable and thorough. Having an experienced dedicated realtor made this experience rewarding for me. Thank you Maureen!!" - Patricia​

★★★★★"My wife and I are thrilled to have an opportunity to unequivocally recommend realtor Maureen Rishi. Each and every interaction with her reinforced our assessment of her professional skill set: she was personable, always accessible, sensitive to our unique circumstances, and hyper-aware of the real estate market at a time of tremendous volatility. She was also refreshingly candid and honest. Maureen lives in Santa Cruz, and it is apparent that she cares deeply about the community she resides in. Without her as our agent, there is a good chance we would still be struggling to succeed in purchasing a new home. We could’t be happier with our outcome! Over the years we have interacted with numerous realtors—all of them left us with positive experiences. Maureen, however, stands out. We cannot recommend her more highly." - Jim Lepore & Lisa Lierheimer
