    Selling my townhome was a big deal for me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide me through the process. From the beginning, Shari was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. She walked me through every step, explained the market clearly, and made sure my townhome was positioned to get the best results to sell. Shari’s marketing of my townhome, communication, and attention to detail was amazing. I always felt informed and confident knowing she has handling everything. What could have been a very stressful experience turned out to be a smooth and successful thanks to Shari’s expertise. I am truly grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

    Words cannot express how incredibly wonderful, talented, experienced and brilliant Shari is! I have been through a number of closings in my life and this one was a shocker, and Shari navigated it so fabulously well, I don’t know any previous agent we’ve had that could have done better, and we have had some great agents! I could not be more grateful to her. One of my final texts to her was ‘You are amazing to get us through this, you did it!’ It was a closing where from start to finish she had to do everything for both sides, every tiny inch and minute of the way. I also super appreciate her organization, her focus and follow up on all details as well! Shari always is super responsive day and night, without delay. It was very fun to watch her experience and talent in action! She definitely knows all the best tradespeople in the area too, every company we dealt with was absolutely top notch! As much as we hoped to purchase the home, I think we would have been long gone with how many ridiculous and stressful things came up, all I can say is we made it, thanks to Shari’s expertise and steadfastness on so very many various topics and situations! I will definitely and always have Shari as our real estate agent, whether we are buying or selling, she wholeheartedly cared so much for us, her heart and passion is in it!! I continually kept my family up to date on everything and they all looked forward to the next time I’d talk to them about Shari’s prowess in the business! Now they’ll miss the updates, but they will get to visit us in our beautiful new home! Shari has the best heart, energy and mind, it was the best experience I’ve ever had, she is outstanding!!!

    Thank you Shari with all my heart!!!

    The process of listing and selling your home is complicated and can be daunting. It requires a knowledgeable, professional agent. Shari Bakotich has nearly 30 years of experience, specializing in the east side of the Peninsula, and it shows. She knew the answers to all of many questions and she is very good good at problem solving and communication.

    Before selecting Shari, I interviewed several agents. All were experienced and seemed competent. However, Shari’s marketing strategy and skills set her apart from the rest. I had seen the beautiful brochure she created when she listed and sold my neighbor’s house and my neighbor gave Shari a glowing recommendation. Shari did the same great job on my home’s brochure. The photography, drone pictures and virtual tour were superb and the brochure itself was lovely.

    Shari held multiple open houses and agents’ open houses. Every week she advertised in the LA Times and the Daily Breeze. On Mondays, she sent me a weekly report on showing activity and advertising.

    Shari also understood how hard it was for me to part with my home since it had been the family home for many years. Through this process, she has become a friend.

    Shari Bakotich is professional, caring, honest and very experienced. I highly recommend her.

    We knew of Shari from many years of following her through the advertising she did in the area. We  were impressed by her success and long history of selling homes in the area. When it came time for us to sell our home, she was the first agent we called and hired her on the spot! She was very professional, knowledgeable, and hands-on during he entire process. She walked us through all of the pro’s and con’s of every decision we had to make.

    We are happy to call her not only our real estate agent, but also our friend. Joan and Kenton Watkins
