So lucky to have Lana guiding us through our home purchase!! She helped us navigate every step of the process, from home finding, negotiating with the developer, finding a mortgage, and closing on our home. She was always available whenever we had questions and has so much knowledge about every aspect of real estate. She was also incredible at finding creative solutions to various challenges along the way and communicated exceptionally with all of the stakeholders involved. She's hands-down the best and we will definitely reach out to her again the next time we're shopping for a home!
Lana served as my buyer’s agent on a condo purchase in San Mateo in April 2021. Bottom line: Lana knows what she is doing and deserves your strong consideration.
(1) Lana made me feel like a valued client, even though I was first-time buyer purchasing a condo. She worked with me directly, listened, and took the time to understand my needs.
(2) Lana is pragmatic about the real estate market on the Peninsula and helped me develop realistic expectations.
(3) When it came time to attend open houses, Lana offered honest and direct advice without being pushy. I trusted what she told me and feel she helped me make the right decision on which properties to pursue.
(4) Lana saved me money. She is a strong negotiator with experienced instincts. She guided me in making an effective offer that was under asking price.
(5) Lana worked with my mortgage broker and escrow officer so I could close 10 days earlier than planned with no additional work on my end.
Lana has a broad perspective and the bandwidth to advocate for you effectively whether you are buying or selling, just starting out or pursuing high-end properties. I recommend her without hesitation.
Lana Morin Pierce helped us sell our home in Belmont, CA while we were juggling a move out of state. As everyone knows moving is a huge task and Lana eased our minds by handling everything for the sell of our CA home without us having to be there. Lana is wonderful to work with, she is an agent you can trust and she communicates effectively with you every step of the way. Her years of experience and understanding of real estate were observed through the sell of our home and we highly recommend Lana Morin Pierce for any of your future real estate needs.
It's hard to find a great real estate agent. Over the years I've worked with many both selling and buying homes. I consider myself so lucky to have found Lana. She obviously has been in the business for a long time because she is very knowledgeable about real estate including rentals. Selling a rental during the COVID pandemic wasn't easy because of so many new laws/ regulations regarding renters. Lana worked with me to make sure I was fully informed of the new laws and was taking the proper steps prior to listing. That was a big feat in itself and I was very thankful she was there to guide me. She continued to surprise me, though. (At that point, I should have been convinced that she was very capable, but I'm not very trusting of agents because you don't know if they will really have your interest in mind or just want the money.) I think she could tell I was hesitant to trust her because she reads people REALLY well. I'm really hands-on and she picked up on that right away. She didn't ignore it; she allowed me to do as much as I wanted or let her handle things. I very much appreciated that. The sale of my rental house wasn't easy because of a new mandate in San Mateo required replacement of the sewer lateral. With no hesitation, Lana got that process going and managed the process and contractor. And, this was a very difficult process because my sewer line was below a major thoroughfare with very heavy traffic that required multiple city and state agencies to be involved. Let me just say she was persistent in pushing that process through completion; if she hadn't, I'd still be in escrow! But, that wasn't the only issue. We had a buyer that was very particular, as they should be. Every time an issue arose, Lana addressed it with a resolution that would move the sale forward. No drama, just business. She is a great problem-solver and doesn't waste time. If you want someone who will work to truly represent you and your interests (not her/his interests) and is extremely business savvy and knowledgeable, then go with Lana Pierce.
Starting the house hunting process as a first-time buyer in the Bay Area felt intimidating, let alone we were amidst a pandemic. But having Lana as our realtor made the process enjoyable and seamless. Lana demonstrated an incredible knowledge of the housing market here on the Peninsula as well as a fantastic reputation with others in the real estate network. Furthermore, she went out of her way to find as much information as possible on each property we viewed; such as why a buyer was moving out, unique layout features and even specific HOA guidelines. Throughout the process, Lana was warm, friendly, flexible and proactive. These are only a few characteristics that facilitated our trust in her. When it came time to put an offer in on a beautiful condominium, Lana helped guide us through the timing and logistics. We believe this guidance was key to putting together an effective offer. Soon after, the sellers accepted; not only was this our favorite home but also the first we had placed an offer for! As we eagerly began to imagine ourselves moving in, Lana worked closely with the selling agent and other personal for a quick and efficient closing process. We are so grateful to have had Lana through this journey and we can not recommend her highly enough.
Lana was awesome and I can't say enough good things about her! Not only did she put my mind at ease knowing that I was going to sell my San Mateo property while living out of state, but she also recommended resources that were 5 stars as well. From the inspection, to cleaning services, staging, and even rescuing my mail from time to time. In addition, her communication and follow up was proactive, which only further reduced my stress levels.
Lana truly listens to you, and respects your time. Lana and Intero are quality agents that can recommend quality resources, and help educate you every step of the way! She quickly built trust with me and I cant think of anything that could have gone easier with the transaction.
I strongly recommend Lana if you need help buying/selling a home.
Lana has recently helped us sell our Redwood City condo and was there every step of the journey. She’s been outstanding and very knowledgeable in navigating the real estate business. We trust her 100% and appreciate all her input along with the time she took to answer our endless questions. Thanks you Lana!
Lana helped us find a home in the Bay Area during, what is likely, the most challenging of circumstances: remotely AND in the midst of the 2020 COVID pandemic. She would always reach out ahead of every meet to figure out what was the story behind each home we were about to see, so we'd have a better understanding of what we were going in to. When it came down to the offer process she made sure we understood what rules and procedures were customary in the Bay Area market, and helped put together the strongest offer possible. With her help, we managed to get an offer accepted on the FIRST home we made an offer on. This is a real testament to Lana's dedication and expertise in the Bay Area real estate market. We were very fortunate to have worked with her for our home purchase in California.
Lana helped us find our dream home this summer. She is very seasoned with the real estate scene in the Peninsula, drawing strong personal relationship built over the years. Given the competitive nature of home searches in the region, we truly believe her hard-working drive, integrity and responsiveness was key for us to get the satisfactory result. She is knowledgeable of the area and the important factors into evaluating home values, and has the home buyers' long-term interest at heart. Coming from the East Coast, we presented Lana a challenge of weighing our budget range and a demand for a quality home. We honestly can't imagine working with anyone else as hardworking and nimble as her, to deliver us persistent showings of a wide range of homes, and holding a strong standard and keen timing based on home values during our bidding processes. As we sit in our new home enjoying the breathtaking view, we can't thank Lana enough for her professional diligence and just being at the top of her game.
Thank You Lana!!
You found us our forever dream home. What a crazy year 2020 has been. You started by helping us sell our beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Millbrae. We had problems with our first buyer backing out just as the Covid pandemic hit. We sheltered in place until we could bring the condo back on market and you got a new buyer in no time. The search for the forever home covered Pacifica, San Bruno and finally South San Francisco. We saw so many great houses. You found us our dream home within a great neighborhood in South San Francisco. We now have a 10 minute commute to work. No more HOA fees. We have the space to spread out and enjoy the backyard and all the privileges' of being a homeowner. Thank you Lana!! Our family is forever grateful.
