Amy is an excellent real estate agent. We interviewed several agents in the area and Amy impressed us from the very first meeting with her professionalism, knowledge, personality and overall ease of communication. We were out of town sellers and Amy handled all the details. She made recommendations, listened to our input and responded with every question in a timely and respectful manner. Her ability to get things done was amazing. Our home was staged beautifully and resulted in many offers above asking price. My sister and I are so grateful that we chose Amy to sell our family home of 53 years she is awesome.
Amy McCafferty and her team are excellent! Our family's second house sale experience with Amy and couldn't be more satisfied both times! We spoke with multiple agents, and Amy's professionalism, preparation, knowledge, toolbox of experts, availability, willingness, aid throughout, and easing of mind, made the process simple. Couldn't have asked for a better process, market timing, value, or price! No question why she's top in her field! Would request her for an agent every time.
We selected Amy because when we interviewed her, she was able to speak to the uniqueness of our property and not come up with a valuation based simply on price per square foot. Amy is very responsive and I got same day responses to my texts and emails. I am pretty detail oriented myself and very involved with every aspect of the transaction - Amy was patient and pleasant and was not annoyed with my requests. Amy was also able to recommend service providers (handyman, plumber, gardener, junk hauler, etc) that were very satisfactory. I would recommend Amy for your home sale.
Amy has sold 2 of my homes in the last 10 years, and helped me buy my new home. She was able to get my house on the market quickly, per my request, and made the house look beautiful with her staging team. As a buyer’s agent, she was patient and always supportive of my house hunting efforts and was able to give me excellent advice on items/issues in the homes that I didn't even notice. Her experience as a seasoned agent was pivotal in negotiations. I highly recommend her!
Amy recently sold our home for us in the Almaden Valley. The marketing materials, both online and printed, were top quality and presented our home in a most captivating manner. She gave us a suggestion on the listing price which we accepted and the house sold for that price within one week with multiple offers. During the lead up to the sale, she and her team of professionals laid out a time-line that would culminate with a MLS listing and an open-house and which gave us the action items that we and others needed to complete. The closing went without a hitch and on schedule. The communication between Amy and her team was always there when we needed it. This was our fourth home that we have sold and by far the best experience. We do not hesitate to strongly recommend Amy and her team.
We met Amy at an open house and were immediately impressed. Her knowledge of the market and her professionalism struck us right away, but after spending some time speaking with her, she just had a confidence and aura of success about her that affirmed she was the agent we wanted to move forward with. Initially, we were just going to use her as our buying agent, but her "get-it-done" attitude and the incredible support staff she has working with her made it a no-brainer to use her as our listing agent as well. It sounds simple, but she just knows what she's doing and has a plan of how she's going to get it done. Her and her team were very responsive along the way to all of our questions, and believe me, we had plenty, and they were meticulous, down to the detail, around every aspect of our two transactions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any other buyer or seller, and she will d…

Amy sold my home in Almaden Valley over a year ago. She knew what few things we needed to fix and repair so it would show well and she staged it which helped our home sell in 7 days. The only problem is, I love the staging and the painting colors so much I wished I had her stage it while I was living in it for 24 years. She has a great eye on what we needed to do and fix prior to selling it and her suggestions obviously paid off. Now a year later, I needed to find a condo and she was so patient with me to wait for the right condo that fit my needs and my budget. From the viewings to the offer process, to being with me at the title company to sign so that I understood all what was going on is more than I expected. I couldn't be happier with the whole process from having Amy as a selling agent and now a buying agent to represent me. She is so professional and so knowledgeable that it was a…

I couldn't be happier with the whole process from having Amy as a selling agent and now a buying agent to represent me. She is so professional and so knowledgeable that it was a win having Amy in my court. Selling and buying can be so stressful but she has a calming way of dealing with each situation and I couldn't be happier. I used Amy to sell our home in Almaden Valley over a year ago and her suggestions for changes and repairs including her staging of our home helped us sell in just 7 days. This year, I was ready to buy again and the experience and expertise that Amy gave me in both was so valuable. She takes the time to listen and walk you through each step and just last week met me at the title signing appointment to make sure I understood all what I was signing since this time around I was single and needed her support. Not once did she ever get frustrated with how many offers or how many condos I wanted to visit. In the end, I couldn't be happier with the end results and I thank Amy for that. I highly would recommend Amy for any of your home real estate needs whether selling or buying or both! We had to sell our home quickly and for the best price we could get due to a divorce. Amy suggested a few things we needed to do and we did them. With that being said, we sold our house in a week and for more than we expected! She was very professional and so knowledgeable along with her staff. The guidance we received along the way made this whole process so simple and painless. We got a call and email daily from her and her staff giving us updates and status. I would highly recommend Amy McCafferty!
Amy was incredible in selling our Almaden Valley home. Agents will frequently stage homes, but Amy and her team went much further and basically redesigned the home. She chose new paint colors for us, selected the furniture to use, helped with the landscaping, and even gave us an excellent choice of contractors to use. She made the entire process fast and turnkey. Plus, her marketing of the home covered every imaginable electronic media (even VR!) and all of the local and international real estate agent networks. The result of all her hard work was fantastic - 8 offers and nearly $200k over asking within a week! Amy vastly exceeded our expectations as an agent and we highly recommend her as a Realtor®. We cannot imagine a better agent.
We recently had Amy help us sell our home in Almaden Valley. I can't recommend her enough. She was helpful, cheerful and an expert at every aspect of her job. Here whole team was amazing. From listing to sale it all went smoothly and amazingly fast. We sold our home in just about 7 days with multiple offers at way over our asking price. She helped us with staging, and unlike some other Realtors®, the staging was provided as part of her service with no additional charges. If you want to sell your home quickly and professionally for top dollar, and you want to work with someone who is an absolute pleasure to work with, don't hesitate call Amy!
We sold our previous house and bought a new one with Amy. We were concerned about the timing of sale/purchase working out, given the tight supply of houses in the Valley. Amy and her team were very organized and responsive from the beginning and we were able to complete both sale and purchase transactions within 3 months of engaging her service. Amy got us top dollar for our old house and was also very tough in negotiating with the seller of our new house on behalf of us. We knew Amy was working on multiple deals but were amazed with how much detail she remembered about us every step along the process. We highly recommend Amy and her team. Look no further.
Amy is highly professional and extremely pleasant to work with. Buying and selling homes is stressful, but with Amy, it was a great experience. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have purchased our beautiful home in Almaden Valley or sold our old house in a little over a week. Her knowledge of the market, our neighborhood, and her experience as a real estate broker and interior design were also critical factors that helped us a lot. Needless to say, we are completely satisfied customers. I would ask for Amy's help again in any future real estate projects. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, highly competent, efficient, successful, result-oriented and expert real estate professional, Amy is definitely the one.
Amy did a great job selling our home in Almaden this summer. She was very professional and well organized and everything went very smoothly. Amy and her team have all the right contacts and know what to do and how to get it done quickly. The staging and photography was fantastic, the backyard looked like a resort. Her use of technology meant we didn't have to rush around signing documents, most done online.We would use her again and recommend her to everyone.
We have learned to never compromise on these three skills when selecting your agent: 1) Must know local market and have a plan. 2) Strong negotiation skills and no dual representation. 3) Attention to details and regular communication. Amy is outstanding in all of the above. She recently sold our home in Almaden. Her strategy worked to get top dollar on our home. And that came from her years of experience in Almaden, LG, and Saratoga. What differentiates Amy is her strong marketing and negotiations skills. Amy staged our home beautifully and marketed it very well. We almost decided not to sell after her beautiful job. She communicates well, uses latest technologies, and is highly professional. You can highly trust Amy to truly represent your best interest regardless of the size of your transaction.
Amy was always a delight to work with, and she was pure professional. We appreciated her assistance during every step toward putting the house on the market, including house and garage clean-out, painting, yard cleanup and staging. We couldn't have done it all without first-class service from Amy and her assistant. We had three offers the first week on the market. Everything Amy promised materialized. We couldn't be happier.
We interviewed several Realtors® after our Mom passed away and we needed to sell her house. Amy was introduced to us by her sister, my Mom's neighbor. Amy was a real professional from the get-go, she was straightforward about what we needed to do to the house to get it ready to sell, always keeping in mind our sensitivities to each recommendation, knowing this was a difficult time for us. She was spot-on in terms of listing price and house preparation. She helped us out with certain tasks that needed to be done but proved difficult for us as we lived hundreds of miles away. Amy always communicated with us in a timely fashion and never left any of us out of the loop even though it was my brother who was the executor and was the only one that actually needed to know. She made it easy for us to all get along! Amy knows the Almaden area (she grew up there) and has sold extensively in this ma…

She made it easy for us to all get along! Amy knows the Almaden area (she grew up there) and has sold extensively in this market. When Amy says she will do something she gets it done. I am amazed that from the time we contacted Amy until the house closed was less than two months - only a few days on the market and multiple offers way over our asking price. I highly recommend Amy to any one selling their home in this area.
I recently called upon Amy for help with the sale of a home belonging to a relative who had been a 'collector'. I was overwhelmed by the task, but Amy took hold and the rest was like clockwork. Amy and her team helped seamlessly with every detail, had excellent vendors, scheduled all of the work, and kept the ball rolling all the way
After living in our lovely home for 17 years, we decided to downsize and sell. We interviewed three Realtors®, and Amy was head and shoulders above the others. Amy understood how emotional the decision was for us, and was very helpful, forthcoming, and respectful. Not having undergone the moving experience for many years, it was great to have someone help us through the many steps, from inspections to closing. Amy and her staff were always available, knowledgeable regarding repairmen, and quick to respond to questions. She even helped us find a Realtor® in our new location! Many thanks to Amy and her team.
We needed to find a home on short notice. Luckily one came on the market which drew our interest. Amy helped us devise a successful bidding strategy that landed the home despite multiple competitive offers. We are delighted with the home, the location, and the purchase price. Amy and her team work tirelessly to get us through the process of selling and buying two homes in a thirty-day period. She is an outstanding Realtor®!
We are very happy to have met Amy and have her excellent professional services in selling our house. Amy was efficient and capable of helping us get the house ready for the market. She also provided the extra touch making the house especially attractive for potential buyers. Amy is a very nice person and she is always responsive to our needs and inquiries. Because of her professional services we enjoyed a smooth selling experience.
Summary: if you want an aggressive, highly connected, well seasoned, extremely knowledgeable, highly attentive, responsive, pleasant, and organized fighter on your behalf who does not accept defeat, then Amy is your agent. I usually do not write reviews but for this one, I felt it is important because buying a house is a major step in someone's life and many of you out there need some feedback on who is good and who is not (something I was looking for when I first started looking for my house). I thank fate for putting Amy on our path of buying our first home. I had hired two agents before Amy and they wasted my time and I lost multiple bids on houses I liked, not to mention missing the best time to buy a house. I then met Amy in an open house (she was the seller's agent) and gave me her card after hearing my story that I have been searching for two years to buy a house without luck. I s…

I had hired two agents before Amy and they wasted my time and I lost multiple bids on houses I liked, not to mention missing the best time to buy a house. I then met Amy in an open house (she was the seller's agent) and gave me her card after hearing my story that I have been searching for two years to buy a house without luck. I still remember her words when she said "try me and you will see". Her personal webpage says "service and attention you deserve", and now I know SHE MEANS IT. With the help of Amy, I now live in the first home that she helped to get me less than 6 months after she took over and the house is exactly what we want. Here is the best part, my bid was NOT the highest bid, yet Amy managed to get me the house—I told you she is a fighter and does not like to lose. She handled the matter so elegantly. Her role did not end after offering acceptance, she walked me through how to close escrow and followed my steps one by one to make sure I did not miss any. She also worked with the sellers to ensure a smooth handover. The high level of attention she gave me made me believe at some point that I am her only client! Amy is absolutely a great agent. She knows what you want and does not waste time getting it for you. She knows what offer you need to put down and steps in whenever are needed. She is highly professional and extremely pleasant to work with. Before meeting Amy I thought all agents are just to fill in some paperwork and get a commission. However, after meeting Amy, I think she is in a different class on her own and does for you what the majority of agents out there fail to do for you!
Amy has an excellent rapport with other agents which allowed us to gain insight that we would otherwise not have. Her objective was always to satisfy us but she also kept us grounded. She went out of her way to get our offer accepted and the very same night she found a better property for us and worked to cancel the previous offer and get us a better place. Thanks, Amy!
Amy is highly knowledgeable about the area in which we were looking. She knows the market, and the process and seemed to know just what we were looking for and how to acquire it. I would recommend Amy for your real estate needs and would definitely use her again.
Best Realtor® in the South Bay (probably the whole Bay Area). Amy represented us in the sale of our Almaden home and buying of our new home. Amy has excellent communication skills and consistently updates you on the status of your home. She brings the highest level of integrity, knowledge, and outstanding customer service to the relationship. She did an outstanding job in getting our home sold and very quickly closing on our new home. I highly recommend her if you need a real estate agent.
Amy was our Realtor® for the sale of our residence in Almaden. She also turned out to be the Realtor® for the buyers, and the buyers of the buyers. Actually, after working with Amy, we weren't at all surprised by this. We weren't referred, we chose Amy because both my wife and I watch real estate listings and transactions in the area regularly (especially Los Gatos and Almaden), and it was evident through that, and her marketing mailers, that Amy was listing and selling a LOT of high-end properties. From this, it was easy to conclude that she is, by far, the most successful and active agent in the market. As for prep/pricing/staging/marketing, everything was excellent. For example, she was active in recommending small ways to prepare the house, such as the front door needing refinishing. She had her painter out within the week, and the door looked great. On the pricing, Amy KNOWS the mar…

For example, she was active in recommending small ways to prepare the house, such as the front door needing refinishing. She had her painter out within the week, and the door looked great. On the pricing, Amy KNOWS the market in this area extremely well, and she recommended a listing price that was on the very high-end of our expectations. She was confident with her analysis, and she was right on. As far as weaknesses, she doesn't have any, plain and simple. It is our recommendation that you RUN, do not walk, to sign her up. She is a consummate professional, extremely bright, extremely knowledgeable, extremely hard-working, and an excellent negotiator. She grabs the ball and runs with it. She is very likable, yet has a way of smiling and still getting a point across. She remains calm and focused even when things get stormy and emotional. Ours was a unique property, at the high-end in Almaden, and there were a lot of unique and special qualities about it. Amy was interested in learning these things, and she did an excellent job conveying these things to potential buyers. A lot of Realtors® don't make that effort, instead opting for the "canned" approach, one size fits all. As you can tell, we think a lot about Amy. Our experience with her was A+, five stars, and a 10. To sum it up, if you want to sell your home for top dollar, she is an absolutely excellent choice to get it done.
Amy represented us to buy our new home and sell our old home. We met her at an open house and I knew instantly that she was kind and understanding, very professional, and just a fun person to be around. All great traits for a Realtor®. Buying and selling homes is stressful enough, but with Amy, it was a great experience. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have purchased our beautiful home in Almaden Valley or sold our old house in a little over a week. In addition, Amy's assistant, Reggie, is very professional, always returns calls and emails, and is very easy to talk to. The office in Los Gatos is beautiful and comfortable. Amy is enthusiastic and reassuring, she really knows real estate and what it takes to find a home.
Amy just helped me purchase a home in Almaden Valley, and the transaction couldn't have gone smoother! She is very personable, professional, and reliable. Her tough negotiating skills helped me get the property when there were 10 other offers on the table. I highly recommend her!
After extensive research I chose Amy McCafferty who came highly recommended in her field. She listed and subsequently sold all of our properties in the Bay Area. The real estate was older and had some unique challenges she met. As I was working on the behalf of a trust, I required frequent updates and accurate record keeping. She worked through the challenges that often occur in escrows and completed all sales professionally and efficiently. Amy was a pleasure to work with and I will not hesitate to use her again should I have any real estate acquisitions or dispositions in the area.
We had to sell our home quickly and for the best price, we could get. Amy suggested a few things we needed to do and we did them. With that being said, we sold our house in a week! She was very professional and so knowledgeable along with her staff. The guidance we received along the way made this whole process so simple and painless. We got a call and email daily from her giving us updates and status. I would highly recommend Amy McCafferty!
Amy provided us with excellent service. She had great recommendations for us on how to show our home so it would sell quickly. We actually sold our house the very first weekend we had it listed and we got our asking price. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
Amy listed our home in 2011 and did an outstanding job from staging and marketing to ultimately negotiating the sale for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent agent.
Amy sold my home in the Almaden neighborhood of San Jose. I was going through a tough divorce and Amy understood the stress I was under. She walked me through all the legal documents and slowly explained the home inspections, and details of a sale. In a crowded market, she sold my home within a month! It was priced right, and she represented me very well in negotiations of final sale. Selling a home of 26 years is a tad emotional. Amy understood that There is more than paperwork and money involved in the sale of a house, there are the people and their "home". She was so understanding and kind. She is professional and quick to respond to questions. I could tell that she is respected by other Realtors®—that matters. Pros like to work with other pros. I think that is why my house had so many showings and sold so quickly.
We had the pleasure of dealing with Amy as she was the seller's agent on a house we wanted to buy, then enrolled her as our agent to sell our existing house asap. She masterfully handled both sides, negotiating a good deal on our house to buy, while managing to list and sell our existing home 2 weeks above market value. She was the go-to person for everything and knows how to surround herself with a hard-working team and good contacts. We cannot recommend her enough!
