Gutierrez Group

Let me relate the rewarding experience my wife and I had recently selling our home with Sergio Gutierrez and Ivonne Estrada of Alain Pinel Realtors.
Having observed numerous Alain Pinel for sale signs in our immediate area, I contacted Dave Wash, VP and Branch Manager at Alain Pinel’s Almaden office. I explained to Mr. Walsh that our house had some unusual features and in addition, I felt it required a little curb-​appeal work to get ready for market. As such, I explained, I felt we needed the skills of an experienced agent that could not only properly market our home, but marshal the forces necessary to maximize our home’s value to potential buyers. Mr. Walsh referred us to Sergio Gutierrez and Ivonne Estrada.
Sergio immediately came out to see us and the process began, I must emphasize that my wife and I are not the easiest people to deal with but every step of the way, Sergio handled every crazy request with grace, a smile and professionalism. We gave Sergio a budget and a time frame to arrange for the improvements to be made; he came in on time and 25% under budget.
Sergio and Ivonne stuck with us every step of the way, pushing us when needed and not once did our dogs get loose. Our home was beautifully staged and wonderfully photographed. We had a very successful open house due to their excellent marketing efforts, concluding with 8 qualified offers — 5 of which exceeded the list price and one, surpassing our highest hopes. Our home sold in 5 days and thanks to Sergio’s negotiation skills, closing took place 4 days earlier than scheduled.
Last year we sold two investment properties in Southern California. Based on our SOCAL experience, we were determined to do better when it came to our residence in San Jose and we did. We couldn’t be more pleased with Sergio and Ivonne, and Alain Pinel Realtors.
Moral of story: Hire experts, hire experience, hire people you can trust. My wife and I did and are the better for it.

My husband and I met Sergio at an open house near our condo. After chatting for a bit we made an appointment to have Sergio look at our place to give us ideas about selling our place.
We learned very quick how passionate and knowledgable Sergio was about the housing market. He helped us sell our condo for more than our asking price. He knew all the right moved to help us get the best offer.
He then helped us buy a house. Again, he knew all the right moves that would make us look appealing to the seller. We got the house we wanted at a price we could afford and he was able to help us through all the tricky stuff that comes with buying– all with very little stress.
Not only is Sergio very knowledgable but he is committed. He always returned our calls or responded to texts and emails quickly. He helped us stage the house, even helping me clean my garage. With Sergio, it felt like we were his number one priority.
Finally, he took so much of the stress away. I was surprised at the fact that I wasn’t very stressed and for me, that was the best part of the process.
I know that when my husband and I need to buy or sell again, we will be calling Sergio Gutierrez.
Thanks Sergio, it really was a pleasure!!!

My wife and I recently bought a town home in Campbell with Sergio’s help. It was the last property we saw in 7 and a half hours of looking on a Saturday, and Sergio was leading us the entire time. We drove 80 miles that day to find the perfect place, which turned out to be one of his recommendations. He doesn’t normally spend that much time in a single day or even a weekend, but we wanted to go hard, and he said the equivalent of «let’s do this.» One of the first things we learned from Sergio is that pictures on real estate sites can be deceiving. What we thought we wanted wasn’t all we thought it would be. Sergio helped us throughout that day to really pinpoint what was most important to us in a property.
I am more than convinced that we would never have gotten our home without his help, knowledge, and abundance of infectious (and very welcome!) optimism. We hit several snags during the process and Sergio kept us calm and on-​track throughout.
Sergio is super responsive so don’t be surprised if he gets back to you almost immediately when you reach out to him during the home search/​buying process. This is extremely important since buying a home can be extremely stressful and frustrating — you definitely want someone on your side who’s available to answer questions in a timely manner.
If we ever buy or sell a property again, Sergio will be the first person we call. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.

After more than 5 years of looking for a house and different agents, Sergio Gutierrez got the house for me! The price range I was looking for is ultra competitive with many entry level buyers and all the houses I offered on had more than a dozen offers.
Unlike other agent, Sergio is diligent on reviewing the home disclosures and will point out anything that is unusual.
Sergio negotiated and got the house for me and we closed in less than a week from offer acceptace to getting the keys.
My new home is a solid 3 bedroom 2 bath in Blossom Valley on a quiet tree lined street — Hardwoord foors, Fireplace with nice neighbors.
Thanks Again,
Michael
