Irina just helped us buy our first home. She was instrumental in helping us first-timers navigate the murky waters of the real estate market. From helping us ask the right questions, to answering late-night and really long emails, Irina helps us patiently through the whole process. We really appreciated how proactive and supportive she was. She would provide updates for us before we thought to ask. We appreciated in particular how she handled our myriad of questions. Questions were easy to ask and were always encouraged. The answers were succinct and very prompt. She was professional, courteous, and thoughtful. We were always pleasantly surprised at how much she remembered our evolving tastes and needs. After viewing a house, we would discuss the pros and cons, which we always found helpful.

We were always pleasantly surprised at how much she remembered our evolving tastes and needs. After viewing a house, we would discuss the pros and cons, which we always found helpful. Many times, she would mention most of our concerns and thoughts about the house before we even spoke. When something was missing in the paperwork, or something looked questionable, she was ready with an update on the document or was already researching the article in question before we even noticed the problem. It was quite impressive. She was always respectful of our budget and location constraints. If she found something slightly above budget or just out of range, she would ask us before sending it over, which we appreciated. Overall, we highly recommend Irina. We feel lucky, especially as first-time home buyers, that we had Irina to help us. It's hard to imagine how we would have gotten through this without her, let alone had the process gone this smoothly
I met Irina through community events and engaged her in 2021 for a purchase of an investment property. I would highly recommend Irina for your real estate transactions. Irina was very responsive to our all-hour texts and was patient in answering and filtering through the listings we were interested in. She can analyze the listing quickly and accurately due to her knowledge of local RE market stats and trends. She is an investor herself, so she understands what makes a suitable investment property. Irina has exhibited a high degree of integrity when she deals with other agents and mortgage brokers, making the transaction more smooth. She provides a detailed timeline, so we know what to anticipate, and she would minimize any unanticipated risk during the close process. Even after the close, she provided excellent support in pairing us up with a high-performing contractor who began to renov…

She provides a detailed timeline, so we know what to anticipate, and she would minimize any unanticipated risk during the close process. Even after the close, she provided excellent support in pairing us up with a high-performing contractor who began to renovate the property the following day after we got our key. Irina is a trusting partner who is honest, responsive, and a true professional that you would want to have on your team when you have any RE transactions.
Our family was looking to purchase a home in the Los Gatos/Campbell/Saratoga area. As our agent, Irina Bondar was an excellent resource during our search. She is knowledgeable of the area and was on top of scouting out new and upcoming listings. We valued Irina’s prompt response to our inquiries and understanding of the housing market. Not only does she have a good understanding of the market, but she knows a lot about remodeling homes. This was extremely helpful when looking at homes in this area, and determining potential. Irina is a great listener, patient, and encouraging (in what can be a very discouraging process). Most importantly, Irina does not shy away from tough situations or negotiations. She values her clients and shows them over and over again that they are her number one priority. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Buying our first house took a long time and throughout the whole process, Irina was with us. For all this time we never felt left alone and yet we never felt any pressure. Irina remained patiently attentive to our requirements and priorities and to their occasional change. Every "no, we don't like this house" was accepted without objections - and the search continued. Irina's network, her vast and detailed knowledge of the whole home purchasing process, of the general situation on the market, of local schools, and of home insurance were critically important resources along the whole process - both before and after the purchase. Irina helped us a lot in communications with our loan officer and with home insurance (the latter was a couple of weeks after the contract closed and was extremely important) We are immensely grateful to Irina for her effort!
