About ALISSA CUSTER

But when 300-page disclosure packets started landing and Google no longer had answers, we understood what a good agent really means. In hindsight, we didn't just need an agent - we needed Alissa. Alissa was calm, decisive, and incredibly communicative. She knows the East Bay neighborhoods and market so well it's almost eerie. She can recite facts to the details, and she reads minds! She has this ability to take our scattered ideas and turn them into clear home criteria. When unexpected plot twis...

We worked with Alissa for our recent home sale and she was amazing! She was knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and friendly throughout the entire journey.
