TESTIMONIALS

Raving Fans...

Magen did an outstanding job assisting me in the purchase of my first home. Her expertise in the market’s geographical area was instrumental in determining a competitive purchase price while considering the future resale value of the area. Magen was very involved in all aspects of the closing. She was friendly, responsive, and always gave great advice. Cannot recommend her enough.
-Lisa M.

Magen is a rockstar! Working with her to buy our first home was an exceptional experience. She was consistently patient, kind, and responsive—always taking the time to answer our many questions. Over the course of several months, she showed us dozens of homes and thoughtfully guided us based on our preferences and priorities. Her deep knowledge of both the real estate industry and the Fairfield area was truly impressive and made us feel confident every step of the way. She has cultivated an extensive network of trusted contractors, service providers, and industry professionals throughout her career. This long-standing network is a testament to her experience and dedication, and it’s been an invaluable resource for us throughout the buying process. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side during such an important milestone

Magen was instrumental in every step of our home search and mortgage process. She was an excellent listener and took great care in considering what the best options were with our set of circumstances. Without her connections and advice, our journey in attaining a mortgage would have been much longer. Magen also possesses extensive knowledge of and experience with the Solano market (particularly Fairfield in our case). During walkthroughs she was sharply observant of potential building flaws/issues as well as other potential costs and pitfalls. She was very communicative, helpful and available throughout the closing process. In conversation we found Magen to be personable, honest, and encouraging. We highly recommend her services.
