Aimee Klarich – Alain Pinel Realtors

Aimee is amazing from start to finish! We just closed on our first house with her and could not have done it without her expertise and guidance! Aimee knows the Peninsula market inside and out and will make the entire process seamless for you. Her priority is to get you into the right house. Due to the insane market conditions earlier in 2015, we were on-​and-​off for many months, but Aimee was always available whenever we were ready to pick back up again. Aimee responded to calls, texts, emails at all times almost immediately. She never made us feel stupid for asking basic questions. When we saw a floorplan we liked, she mailed every single unit like it in the development. When we thought we might want to consider the East Bay, she enthusiastically recommended a colleague who would be able to help us out there.
We would highly recommend working with Aimee. You can’t go wrong! We will definitely be back with Aimee if we ever buy/​sell on the Peninsula!
Thank you Aimee!

Without Aimee I would not be a homeowner.
She coached my husband and i from the start at her home buying 101 course. The peninsula is a crazy place to try to buy even a plot of dirt. But she believed in us and was so on top of it. She answers emails more quickly than anyone I’ve ever worked with in any capacity. She knows the area extremely well, is flexible, and understood what we needed. I was afraid that realtors on the peninsula would be more focused on clients who wanted 900k+ homes — that wasn’t us. But Aimee proved me wrong. She was really pulling for us and gave us a LOT of time and energy.

Aimee is a true professional. We have executed 5 transactions with her over the last few years (3 sales /​2 purchases) and we have been consistently impressed with her attention to detail and knowledge of real estate. We have encountered many less than professional agents over the years, and we know what the «right thing» to do is. Aimee ensures that our interests are protected, but always follows professional standards in the process. Her knowledge of the upper peninsula (e.g. — San Mateo, Burlingame, etc.) is really strong. She knows every neighborhood inside and out and knows what will fit for her buyers and what won’t. She is not shy at being honest and helping you see the big picture. I appreciate that she is not a «yes person» like many agents. She will voice her opinion, but never put pressure on you to act unless you are comfortable. From a selling perspective, she has a keen understanding of how to present and market the property as well as the «right «price. From a buying perspective, she takes the time to get to know your needs and desires and helps you understand the trade-​offs. If you need someone on the Peninsula, go with her for either side of the transaction. We would not hesitate to work with her again.

What a life saver~ Bought a house with Aimee Klarich as the «Listing» agent (I am buyer side). Two months later, the bath shower switch broke and I needed help to find the matching tiles for the repair. Without matching tiles, my contractor said I will have to replace ALL the tiles for them to match.
Aimee Klarich found out what the tiles were and that saved me a load of trouble! (My buyer agent was’t very fast at replies after the deal was closed…) It was the listing agent that helped me. For this, she gets a 5 stars!

Aimee was amazing! This was my first time working with her, my wife’s second time. I am very impressed, and my wife and I are both SUPER happy with the experience, and the house we ended up with.
Selling and buying property in the Bay Area is f’n stressful. And honestly I was a little worried that we were gonna end up homeless or something… but having Aimee in our corner made me feel like we had inside information and we couldn’t lose!
We sold our condo in San Mateo and then bought a house in Pacifica. She was our agent for both.
She was very sensitive to our needs, backed off when we wanted to do our own thing (like getting a floor guy for the new place), and jumped in whenever we asked for help (like finding us painters for the new house, during busy season, last minute.
She was super available ALL THE TIME, and helped us through every step of the selling and buying process. She’d text, she’d call, she’d e-​mail with continuous updates — weekends, weekdays, weeknights (once I had some random question at like 10 at night on a Monday; my wife was like «She’s not working this late» But I texted her anyway, and she responded immediately. What!) — she would always respond to our questions same day.
She had a «guy» (or gal) for everything. Insurance?. got ya covered. Need the new place painted? … I’m on the phone. Need the baseboards fixed at the condo? Lemme make a call… and they were calling us next day.
Selling: She coached us through every aspect of the process of getting our place ready to sell, to get the best price. She said she could arrange a place to stay while we staged the condo, but we wanted to continue living in it, so she helped us make that happen. She offered to stage it for us, but we’re kind of do-​it-​yourself-​ers, and Aimee totally respected that. She had every kind of contracter/​handy man we needed at the ready, but backed off when we wanted to do the work ourselves (my wife is super handy :-)). Once the place was staged, my wife and I took a weekend trip, Aimee arranged the open house for one weekend, and that was all we needed. She got us a 2 month rent back on our condo, so we could shop for our next place, multiple offers, and an AMAZING top offer… we closed on the condo super quick.
Buying:
She did a great job of listening to my wife and I, and finding us houses to look at that had something we both liked. She got us set up with her customized MLS search engine, and we favorited listings we liked (my wife and I had slightly different searches). Then we spent a couple weekends driving around Pacifica with Aimee to look at open houses, and even some houses that weren’t having open houses. She really knows the Peninsula. She grew up there, so, everywhere we went together, I got the feeling it was just like a drive around the neighborhood, for her. We really wanted to live in Pacifica, close to the ocean, but we didn’t realized there were so many different parts of Pacifica, each with distinct benefits, and feels. She educated us to the differences. She knew each little neighborhood, each school district’s score… and we realized we both wanted to live in the Linda Mar area.
And wow, ultimately, she found us a house that wasn’t really even on the market! and I gotta say… I think we got the last steal in the Bay Area :-). It was a short sale, and it came up on the market because someone backed out at the last minute, and Aimee called and was like «we gotta get you in there now!» And my wife was over there later that day… We made an offer 2 days later, and the house is just perfect. It had everything we wanted, walking distance to the beach, and we’ve got money left over…
I always felt like Aimee was shooting straight with us – We told her our max budget, but that we didn’t really want to use it unless we absolutely had to … and we never even looked at a house close to our max budget… we ended up with a house that we can afford, and now we have money left over for improvements. It honestly couldn’t have gone any better :-)

Aimee was my realtor for a sale of a condo in San Mateo last month. Aimee actually had sold 3 condos in the same complex, so after talking to a few other agents, I thought she was definitely the best fit.
I had been renting the condo for the last 5 years after getting married, and wasn’t really in a position to go back and forth to the condo to do much in terms of the sale.
Aimee took care of everything in terms of the sale. She does the little things which made my life easier (picking up spare key from my parents was very nice). She’s also very resourceful when needed (she was able to work around a non-​responsive HOA).
In summary, I sold the condo at 100k over asking with 12 offers. Aimee genuinely cares for her clients, and I highly recommend her.

Aimee is THE realtor to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Peninsula. Aimee listens to what your needs are, is organized, responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Especially in today’s competitive markets, you want to work with someone you can trust and can represent you well. She was always looking out for our best interest.

My fiancé and I met Aimee through a friend’s recommendation nearly 11 months ago while we were going through the home buying purchase. We had interviewed two other agents and thought one was ok and the other a bit pushy. Aimee’s service was top notch and going through the home buying process, we really felt lucky when we found the range of agents out there.
The first six months we were getting our finances in order and just dabbling in the crazy bay area housing market. Here’s what stood out to me:
— Free homebuying class that helped us understand the current state of the market and a basic 101 for us newbies
— Honesty = trust. This in my opinion is the #1 thing I cared about most. There were a few times where she thought a house would end up pushing our budget. In our first bid, we couldn’t push that far, and barely lost; when we were able to match her guidance in our 3^rd bid, we won. barely. Knowing the comps well is one thing, but what really won me over was when she was honest on walking away. On several open houses, she told us to not waste our time and keep moving on, usually for some major house structure /​permit issues. In our 2^nd bid, we liked a very hot house and she thought it was going to go much higher than our budget but didn’t think it was worth it. It did end up going over $ 200k our bid but it was good to see she wasn’t just trying to win us any house, she was helping us find the right house… for us.
— Service is impeccable. We met a lot of agents out while in our 11 mo house hunt. We are impressed with Aimee’s level of detail and service. She answered our many questions at all times of the day. When we asked for recommendations, she would provide three so we’d have options. When we went into each bid, she put in hours of work to prep the paperwork in advance just because she’s seen that make a difference before. (In one of our bids, we were the 5^th highest bidder but we were the only ones given an opportunity to match because of Aimee’s compelling presentation skills to present our story). She reviewed and explained every doc to us (and there were hundreds and hundreds of pages), she even caught a few mistakes on the closing docs that the title co and bank missed.
Thanks to Aimee, we feel like we were able to find a real gem for our first home and look forward to home ownership! Needless to say, she’s won us over and will be our agent in the future.

If there was an option for 10 stars, I would choose it! Aimee is hands-​down AMAZING! Aimee worked with me for over a year while I went through a rough life patch and has to continue to put off getting my house on the market… She was never pushy and always worked with what I was able to do. Her genuine caring and support was evident from the first day I met her… She is is professional and knows the market! Aimee walked me through everything step by step, as I was terrified going through this process for the first time. She made it all come together seamlessly and my house sold in 6 days on the market! Her attention to detail is second to none and she always goes above and beyond for her clients! I always felt like I was her only client!!!
I would like to be able to shout from the mountain tops about Aimee, but will have to settle for Unilocal

Aimee worked with my wife and I to buy our first home. She stuck with us for over 9months, providing the absolute best service, advice, and overall guidance we could imagine. Buying your first home is terrifying and stressful, especially when you’re starting a new job and handling newborn twins! Aimee always went above and beyond to calm our fears and provide us with all the information we could possibly need, while at the same time being very mindful of our situation.
Here’s what you get when you work with Aimee:
— Patience — Aimee was never pushy, always accommodating
— Professionalism — When you work with Aimee, you feel like you’re part of an elite Realtor team :)
— Fast response times — Aimee never missed an email, meeting, or detail.
— Expertise: she’s born and raised Peninsula and knows everything about every area (including schools!)
— Kindness — Aimee is a good person, simple as that. She wants to see her clients truly happy.
— Empathy — Aimee is easy to talk to, and really listens to what you need.
— Network — Aimee has many great contacts that can come in handy (Brokers, contractors, etc…)
My wife and I are happy in our new home, and hope to be for years to come. I’d recommend Aimee Klarich to anyone looking for real-​estate services.

Our friend Leslie and her husband just purchased their first home thanks to the help of Aimee. In this market, it is very intimidating for anyone to find somewhere to live, not only did she find them a great house she explained the process thoroughly
so they knew exactly what to expect and when. They could not have do this without her! Thank you Aimee!

Aimee is a true professional that takes her clients’ needs and priorities seriously. She is a long-​standing resident on the peninsula and can provide reliable insight on the right neighborhood or home to her clients. I look forward to working with her when we are ready to list our home!

AImee is… in a word… fabulous! Her mixture of a compassionate heart & drive are a force to be reckoned with… Her professionalism is shown over and over again — as she recognizes that purchasing a home can be a very stressful process — she holds her clients through the process — explaining each step as they go. Another plus — Aimee grew up in the area that she services — which gives her a better understanding & history of the bay area. I would highly recommend Aimee!

Aimee worked with us on our corporate relocation out of California and helped us secure two offers on our property, which ended up selling for asking price. She checked in on our property while we were in another state and made sure everything was perfect for showings. Aimee also kept us up to date on the progress of showings and stayed connected with us after the sale — which showed she really cares about her clients!
Aimee is a very understanding Realtor who is patient and not pushy (like a lot of Realtors we met while in California)…we appreciated her patience with us while working to sell our property during a tough real estate market!
An additional bonus is that she works for a strong real estate company that has a good reputation in the Bay Area, which gives her access to a large network of people to both find properties, and for support when selling a property.

Aimee recently helped my wife and I purchase an investment property on the Peninsula. She was fantastic to work with and very patient throughout the process.
We looked at several options, made a few offers and declined getting into a bidding war with one prospect which was the right decision!
Aimee was a great representative for us and helped us put together a great offer which was compelling and we were able to compete with an all cash deal and ultimately got us the place we wanted.
Throughout the process Aimee took the time to answer my questions and bounce ideas back and forth.
She was also equally helpful post the closing of the deal in helping us work through a lease back for a couple of months, always looking out for our best interests.
I would absolutely use her again in the future.

Aimee helped me with a rental property then a purchase of a home (which ended up not working out but not at all Aimee’s fault).
She was born and bred in the peninsula so she knows the area really well. She was able to give good advice on different neighbourhoods and their cons and pros. When I wanted to look for houses in the neighbourhood outside of her expertise she was able to recommend an agent that could help.
She is professional, empathetic and is very responsive.
I’d recommend her as an agent for purchasing of your home in the bay area!

Many of you will be drawn to Aimee for her extensive knowledge of the Peninsula housing market and her in-​depth market research skills. You will be impressed at her drive to get you the best sales price and terms. But truly, you will stay with Aimee to buy or sell your home because of her amazing attention to the details that matter to you!
Aimee will help you at every step. She truly is an angel! Aimee encouraged, listened and cared for us so we could buy our first home. it was the best decision we have ever made and we couldn’t have done it without her. Aimee helped us change our lives for the best!

I wanted to buy our first home for our family. Aimee was the first and only to come to mind! We started off right away with homes that we loved! We always loved everything she showed us cause she got to know our wants so well! We had great adventures together driving to different destinations always excited to see our next «home»! We never had to ask questions because she always was one step ahead. I still smile everyday I drive up to our house, is so surreal that it is ours. Thanks to Aimee’s knowledge and drive we have a beautiful and safe home for our children to be themselves in and us to grow old together.

I wish I could give Aimee more than five stars!
My boyfriend and I just bought our first home with Aimee’s help. Buying our first house was very scary. On a scale of one to ten, I’d give her a twelve! We were really impressed by her willingness to work with us to find the house that we really wanted, and to explain everything as many times as we needed.
Aimee had charts of information that allowed us to evaluate the various neighborhoods and the prices of comparable houses. She even had a mortgage calculators so we could establish our price range. More importantly, she had a life-​long first-​hand knowledge of the area, the schools, and the desirability of various neighborhoods.
She really worked hard to make our home-​buying adventure a success the first time. I can’t wait to buy another house so we can work with Aimee again! June 17, 2009
