“Serena helped us walk through a very complicated property purchase for our nonprofit. This involved convincing the seller to pull the property off of the market during a hot seller’s market, convincing the seller to agree to a long (~6 month) escrow process, communicating an abnormal funding source to purchase the property (state grants), etc. etc.

Serena stayed calm and diligent when we were losing our minds. She stayed on the selling agent when there were lapses in communication. She made sure that we understood the process and was always available to us when we needed her.

She grew up in Ventura County (Ojai specifically), so she knows the area as well as anyone. She is professional, courteous, smart, kind and strategic. We will continue to use her for all of our real estate needs and recommend her to everyone.

Thank you Serena.”

-Dan Parziale, Executive Director of Mesa

“Highly recommend Serena for her real estate services. She provided us with a best in class service that made us feel 100% confident throughout the entire process of finding, negotiating and executing our deal. Buying a home is a personal and huge decision. Serena made us feel important and treated us like friends. She went to bat for us and offered additional services far beyond the scope of your normal realtor. Will definitely use Serena for our future real estate transactions.”

-Jason H.

"We worked with Serena for our first home purchase and she was the absolute best. Serena always made herself available, was always quick to respond to our questions and is a true pro, knowing just what to do every step of the way. We fell in love with the home we ended up purchasing and were up against other offers. Serena's creativity during the offer process helped put us on top while staying within our means. Additionally, Serena is extremely well connected in Ojai, helping us navigate the best people to go to in the neighborhood for the inspection process, tree trimmers, contractors, painters, handymen, and more. There was no question Serena doesn't have an answer to! We will use Serena for all of our future real estate needs!" 

“My experience with the recent sale of a house for a friend, as overseen by Serena, went as smoothly as it could! I had not bought, or sold any property in over 40 years, so many steps in the process had changed and become more complicated. Serena walked me through all the steps, kept me on track and on time, and gave me excellent advice per her deep expertise. I am extremely grateful for her attention to detail, patience, and diligence. I can recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“The home Serena helped us sell was owned by myself and my four siblings. Dealing with five owners is more complicated than working with just one or two people. There were lots of hurdles but Serena managed them in a patient and professional way. I highly recommend her.”

"Serena was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire real estate process. She was the agent for our Son and Daughter-in-law with their home purchase so we were able to see her in action prior to our own home purchase experience. She is extremely knowledgeable of the real estate markets in Ojai and Ventura and has great relationships with the other brokers in both markets as well as other vendors (inspectors, builders, landscapers, etc..) In addition to market knowledge, she made a rather onerous process of purchasing a home as pleasant as possible. She offered her advice when asked but was careful with her own opinions, never pressing us but rather guiding us along. We would highly recommend Serena!”

“We contacted Serena with our ideal next home in mind. Surprisingly, within a week we had found the perfect home to fit our family’s needs! We then listed our existing home with Serena, and we’re able to negotiate a concurrent closing within 45 days of first starting the process! It was a whirlwind experience that truly could not have gone any smoother. Serena guided us through each step of the process with poise and grace. To make the transaction work out for us, Serena helped us to negotiate the price down on our new home, and due to her great marketing, local knowledge and attentiveness helped attract five competing overs on our existing property. We highly recommend Serena for any transaction and have truly appreciated working with such a professional, courteous and kind agent!”

“ Such a pleasure to work with. Serena comes with absolute professionalism, warmth, knowledge and experience in Ojai, and great attention to detail. She made sure I was always in the loop, brought in the right people when needed, and executed the property purchase in a graceful way. I highly recommend her.”

“Serena was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a buyer not currently living in Ojai she made things very easy for me to make decisions remotely. I really feel like Serena went out of her way to not only get me quotes on fixing items like roof, electrical, she also wrote letters to local homes to try and get an off-market deal. I'm forever grateful to have worked with her!”

"Serena was highly knowledgeable and efficient while guiding us through the sale of our beach house. Her expertise in the real estate market was impressive and provided a much deserved recognition.”

“We have worked with Serena for years and she is wonderful. Buying, selling, or renting Serena is sharp and a strong advocate for her clients but also patient and steady throughout the process. I can't recommend her enough!”

-Dmitri S.

“We loved working with Serena when we were selling our first home in Ojai. She was so kind, thorough, and wonderful at communicating with us throughout the whole process. Everything went very smooth and we are so happy with the outcome!”

-Lyndsay M.

Working with Serena was a delight. Her patience, kindness, and professionalism made the process completely stress-free—even in a highly competitive market. She handled every challenge with grace, never pressuring us while providing clear and expert guidance. Thanks to her, we secured our dream home in spite of the competition. Despite different personalities we encountered along our journey, Serena was always calm, composed, and focused on our best interests. I highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a caring and effective agent who puts their clients first.
