Testimonials

James Quintero and the team at Rise Group are phenomenal!
From start to finish, James was there every step of the way—always available, always supportive, and always professional. The home buying process came with its fair share of challenges, but James made it feel easy and manageable. His knowledge, patience, and dedication gave us confidence even when things got complicated.

If you’re buying in the East Bay—or honestly, anywhere—do yourself a favor and contact James. He went above and beyond to make sure we were placed into our perfect home. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent to guide us through this experience. Highly recommend!

Lilah Corral is the best real estate agent her and her team were great they helped us with the whole process we originally began almost a year and a half ago but weren’t able to continue due to some issues lilah didn’t give up she gave us lots of knowledge on what we can do and what we needed to do to help us with buying a home. She went above and beyond for us and went out of her way for us on so many things there’s not enough words to say how great of a real estate agent lilah is would definitely recommend her to anyone she’s really great!!! We couldn’t thank her enough we finally got the keys to our home and it was all made possible because of this great real estate agent lilah!!!!!

My husband and I connected with Rise Group Real Estate from a Zillow lead at the start of our purchase journey. We had specific goals and bring connected with Lilah was the perfect match for us. Lilah was so attentive to our needs, she was very organized, professional, patient and honest. I'd highly recommend Rise Group for your real estate needs.

When we started our our real estate journey, we weren't certain on where we wanted to live or if we should move at all. James was incredibly patient as we plodded our way through the many difficult decisions, showing a unique emotional intelligence and quite competence that guided us through the whole process. James was instrumental in finding us our new home with his connections with other realtors, finding us a home that was about to be listed. Finally, when we sold our home in Oakland, he and Chris where rock stars, guiding us to a sound offering price, building a huge presence on line, including a great You tube video. Our home sold higher then our asking price. The entire process from when we went into contract on our new home to selling our old home was 7 weeks. Incredible!

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with James! As out-of-state buyers, we were initially worried about the process, but James made everything smooth and stress-free. Even though we couldn’t be there in person, we trusted him completely. He was incredibly responsive, kind, and kept in constant contact to make sure everything stayed on track for closing. We really appreciated his honesty—he gave us straight answers on what we could negotiate and what it would take to buy our home. Thanks to James, we now have our dream home in the Bay Area! So glad we found him!

Not one to normally write reviews, but Joel definitely deserved this one. From beginning to end James always showed he had my best interest in mind, and was always upfront, and there with information every step of the way. James represented me as I sold one home, and later bought another. It was a pleasure working with James, he couldn’t have made the process any easier, or more comfortable.

Jacqueline Silva is amazing to work with! She is very knowledgeable in the insurance field with 10+ years of experience. I cannot refer her enough!!! It is always a pleasure working with her, she never fails to go above and beyond!

Jimmy and his team are the BEST! Super informative and reliable . I’ve spoken with other big lenders before but the transparency and how informative this experience has been with Jimmy and the team, has been fantastic. I found my lender. I’m so happy.
