ABOUT ELENA Elena Licari brings a unique perspective to real estate with 14+ years of experience as a San Jose firefighter and a passion for the business that sparked when she met her husband, a Bay Area builder. Her creative strategies, vigorous negotiation skills and 360-degree understanding of the market put her in the very top 1% of 1.4 million agents nationwide for 2020 sales volume, per The Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends. As a firefighter, Elena fell in love with helping people and learned to guide others through high-stress situations. The stakes are different in real estate, but the lessons still apply as she coaches people through life-changing buying and selling decisions. Elena taps into the analytical and emotional sides of real estate to put each client in a position to win. Buying a home starts with a vision meeting. Elena takes more time in the beginning of the process, which ultimately gets you to your future faster, uncovering the dream and working backwards to make it happen. Using time-tested techniques, she’ll align with your vision and show you homes on streets in neighborhoods that live up to that dream. She’s an expert at finding off-market opportunities and believes the house-hunting process can and should be a fun adventure. Elena’s husband has been in the construction business for over 25 years, and together they’ve designed several of their own custom homes. Through this hands-on process, she has established relationships with architects, subcontractors and builders and become familiar with city processes. Most people walk into a home and want to talk about the possibilities. Elena can ballpark what’s possible on the spot and then get you concrete answers from the right people — an advantage for timely offers. Selling a home with Elena means tapping into the latest technology, custom market reports and a team of marketing specialists to get the highest price possible. Premium collateral includes custom websites and community videos to target the right buyers. She’ll get more people into the home, which means competitive offers for the seller. Elena grew up in San Mateo County and currently lives in Los Gatos. She’s passionate about health and fitness and is a lifelong learner, whether through a seminar on emotional intelligence, a negotiation workshop or her membership with the Lorna Hines Academy. Elena speaks Russian, rides dirt bikes, hikes, skis, wakeboards and has a general love for the outdoors. Community and lifestyle are part of buying and selling real estate, just as much as the house or property itself. Elena considers all these factors as she takes each client on the journey from real estate dreams to “We just closed!” ELENA LICARI REALTOR® | CalRE #02031413 | C. 650.868.0069 | O. 408.355.1510 [email protected] | elenalicari.com | 410 N.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS “Elena spent a year with us as we struggled to find the right house in the right neighborhood with the right schools. We are ecstatic with our new place in Los Altos and are grateful to Elena for her expertise (and her patience). After she helped us buy the new place, she then turned around and got our old place sold quickly and at substantially over asking price. She handled everything extremely well. Highly recommended!” Dtrescot (Los Altos, CA) “Elena was recommended to me by another real estate professional. Elena used her excellent knowledge and analysis of the local market to create the selling strategy, suggested several pricing options and provided all the relevant data to help me make decisions quickly and stress free. No detail escaped Elena’s attention: house staging, dealing with contingencies, communicating with HOA and title company, getting the right people involved when needed, etc. My house was sold on the first day of listing! Elena is an outstanding communicator and is very responsive. She kept me updated throughout the entire process and answered my questions promptly. I should also mention Elena’s great team and convenience of the concierge service that her agency offered. I will definitely work with Elena again, and I highly recommend her.” Victoria Gromova (Campbell, CA)
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS “We were fortunate to have Elena recommended by a family friend. Our experience with her was outstanding. We could not have asked for more from a selling agent! Ours was a complicated transaction involving the sale of a family home from a living trust, which meant Elena had to deal with three of us, and included two separate properties, an older house and a separate driveway parcel. Elena handled the transaction with efficiency, grace and sensitivity to the needs of all parties involved. She was super professional in all of her presentations and market comparisons and worked tirelessly to coordinate prepping the home for sale and then marketing it. Phone calls and texts were returned immediately. We were confident that she was looking out for our interests, and she kept us abreast throughout the process. I would strongly recommend Elena Licari to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the Los Gatos/Silicone Valley area.” Marc Mumby (Los Gatos, CA) “We were lucky to have accidentally found Elena on Zillow. I was looking for houses for about eight months. Nothing on the market caught my eye. So I desperately need someone that has connections with the off-market listings and really knows the area as well. So I contacted her, and she immediately took my case even though she was going on a vacation at the time; she still set up a Zoom meeting with me right away. I was very satisfied with our first meeting. She asked me all the questions about what we are looking for to get to know more about our vision. She would write down notes and listened. We have a lot of requirements not wanting it at a T-junction, away from mountain/ hills/railroad/transmission tower or too close to schools. Elena did a lot of work researching the house, and she would give me feedback every week. The overall process from having the conversation in the beginning till the end deal closed was a two-month experience for us. I’m very happy we found the house! Thank you, Elena!” S.C. (Saratoga, CA)
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS “Elena is the ultimate realtor. We were introduced to her as we were entering the market earlier this year. We had an outstanding experience with her starting with our initial Zoom call where she walked us through what we could expect through the process. (This was our fifth transaction, so we were not novices, but we still learnt a lot.) Here is why we think Elena stands out above the crowd: 1. She and her team are consummate professionals, always available to us and always ready with the answers to our questions. 2. She knows the business and the area, so you always have a trusted source you can rely on. 3. Most importantly, she is a master negotiator. She knows what it takes to win and will get you into your dream home.” Rajendran Nair (Danville, CA) “Selling a home that one has expanded and filled for 20+ years and finding a new dream home is, by all means, a daunting task if not impossible. After a couple of disappointing encounters with realtors, when I contacted Elena, who came highly recommended, I only gave a 20% chance of completing this huge effort successfully. We met one spring morning at my place and had a meeting that lasted about two hours. Our discussion was pleasant, enjoyable and yet very substantive and content-driven. It was a joy to find someone who could be smart, articulate, hard-working, results-oriented and is pleasant and fun to be with at the same time. To cut the story short, we found my new dream home within the first month of our search and concluded the entire process of buying the new home and selling the old one in a short span of three months. It wouldn’t be possible without Elena’s business acumen and professional excellence. She puts in her 100% into the effort, is always positive but realistic and is an excellent communicator. It was a boon to have found her to accomplish this mammoth real estate task and as a reward acquire a friend for a lifetime who is awesome both inside and out, professionally and personally.” Mala Chandra (Los Altos, CA)

This helps you know that your home is presented and priced to grab buyers’ attention.
ANALYZING THE MARKET
PRICING RIGHT While we’ll work together to set your home’s asking price, the buyer will set the sales price. If you price your home too high, you’ll miss out on potential buyers. Pricing your property at fair market value, from the start, will generate the most activity from real estate agents and home buyers. The price must attract enough attention to result in showings and offers. IF THE ASKING PRICE IS: THE PROPERTY APPEALS TO: 15% Over Market Value 20% of Buyers 10% Over Market Value 30% of Buyers 5% Over Market Value 50% of Buyers Current Market Value 95% of Buyers
FIRST IMPRESSIONS The largest number of potential buyers will view a newly listed home within the first 14 days on the market, and the number will decrease as the days on the market increases. This pool of buyers includes home buyers just entering the market and, more importantly, buyers working with agents who have already seen the existing inventory and have not found a home, so they are eager to make an offer. To take advantage of this increased level of traffic and buyer interest, your property should be priced to sell at fair market value, from the very start.

PROTECTING BUYERS AND SELLERS IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY If you are considering selling, we can effectively market your property while keeping everyone safe. Here are some steps you and I can take to ensure everyone’s safety. Seller Home Preparations • Please wipe down surfaces before and after showings. • If a family member is sick or not feeling well, please postpone showings. • To minimize contact with items in your home, please turn on all lights and open blinds, curtains, cabinets, closet doors – any area of your home that you want buyers to see. • Provide hand sanitizer for visitors at the front door. • Be prepared to be out of your home and offsite for the duration of the showings. Agent and Client Agreements • Where applicable, no group showings larger than three are permitted. Only buyer agents and their clients, and where applicable the selling agent, are allowed to attend showings. • Agents and their clients are encouraged to wear face masks during showings. If a state mandates that face masks must be worn, doing so will be required while viewing homes. • Social distancing guidelines between agents and their clients will be followed, too. • Attendees will use hand sanitizer and/or hand sanitizing wipes prior to entering the home. • The only things that should be touched in the home are doorknobs to open and close exterior doors to enter and exit the home. • We adhere to CDC and local government ordinances. The safety and health of all is the Coldwell Banker® brand’s top priority. Be smart. Be responsible. We’ll get through this together.
