My wife and I recently went through the nerve wracking experience of purchasing our first home. We financed our mortgage with Schools First Credit Union and participated in the SchoolsFirst FCU Home360. We were paired with Michelle Schiavo with Onyx Homes at First Team Real Estate. My wife and I were incredibly nervous as this is one of the most stressful experiences and biggest purchases someone can make. From day one Michelle made us feel completely at ease. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always made herself available to answer any questions we had. We went into this whole experience fully expecting to spend 3-4 months looking for a home. With Michelle advocating for us we were able to find a starter home we liked and entered into escrow within a month of getting pre-approved! Michelle always put our needs first and made sure that we understood every step of the homebuying process. We’re very grateful to have met Michelle and grateful to have her as our agent representing us.

Thank you Reilly!! She was very patient and made us feel more comfortable and supported during this stressful event. She was very knowledgable and was able to address every concern we had. She made our first home buying experience special for us!

Michelle Schiavo has been an incredible real estate agent, and has helped in numerous ways in guiding me through the process of first-time home buying. She has answered a plethora of questions and her communication is hands-down top-notch. Michelle's response time is incredible (she works overtime!!) - she is constantly touching base through emails, phone calls and/or text messages. It was great knowing if and when anything came up, Michelle was there to help. Her team at Stubbs & Bammer Luxury Group do an excellent job of helping potential buyers. As a matter of fact, the entire group at SchoolsFirst have been a total pleasure to work with. Not only are they professional, they are caring and very knowledgeable. Michelle and I started searching for homes in December and by early February we had begun escrow. I cannot recommend these talented individuals more! Thank you for everything. - Micaela Balcaza

Christian is a top notch professional and we will use him again on our next purchase. He is knowledgeable, a good listener, goes above and beyond when the selling agent/HOA/bank or others fall short on their commitments or requests. He enabled us to get our home closed in 3 weeks. I highly recommend him. Great person!
