Specialization
I have 25 years of experience, and advanced training, in negotiations, communications and marketing. My specialty is representing clients in the buying and selling of condominiums, townhouses, single-family residences and income property for the following cities and neighborhoods: San Jose (downtown, Willow Glen, Blossom Valley, Almaden Valley, North Valley, Evergreen, Cambrian, East Valley); Campbell, Milpitas, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Gilroy, Monte Sereno and Morgan Hill. I keep current on all of the transactions in these areas and can readily provide information about the Real Estate market, neighborhoods and schools.
If you want information regarding places outside my selling area, I am a member of a network of top agents within the United States (CRS), and around the world (CIPS), and can provide you with a list of knowledgeable professional real estate agents.
Personal
I was born in Mexico City. I am proud to be a United States citizen as of 1997. Throughout my life, I have had the privilege of living in different places--Europe, Latin America and the United States. Thanks to this multicultural exposure and further education, I am better prepared to understand and serve my diverse clientele's individual needs. My hobbies include: enjoying music, spending time with my family and friends, theater, movies, hiking, snow shoeing, reading, educating myself to better serve my clients and community, and traveling. I strongly support Habitat for Humanity, the Northern California Cancer Center, and the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Event (of which I was a participant in 2001).
Testimonials
'Tough housing markets require a skilled and resourceful real estate professional - and Wanda Klor is one of the best, with a proven Silicon Valley performance record. Wanda twice demonstrated her in-depth real estate knowledge and marketing skills for us...and earned our recommendation and our graditude in the two toughest real estate sales markets during the last two decades.'
--- Dave and Claire Kariker ---
'We realized what a wonderful way you have in dealing with stressed people. Since our home was on the market during a time of economic uncertainty, we especially appreciated your patience, your marketing and staging advice, and your punctuality. In short, we felt that you dealt with us with a genuine sense of concern and caring. We are sure that if we were relatives, we would not have been treated differently...Once again, thank you for your professionalism.'
--- Miguel and Diane Valencia ---
'We found that we could rely on her service totally to work out every detail of the sale of our townhouse. Ms. Klor did not save time or effort to close the sale quickly and at the same time we got the maximum price for our property.'
--- Varda and Ghiora Drori; Rehovot, Israel ---
'Even in this market, we found the house of our dreams and we owe it all to Wanda... Mark and I are so happy we found you [Wanda]...without you, we'd probably still be living with my parents. Thanks!'
--- Ilene and Mark Polhemus ---
'Thank you for sending us the tax information. As usual, your thoroughness has saved your clients time and frustration. ...we will always think of you as our angel.'
--- Sheri and Bill Cook ---
'I will always be amazed at the remarkable, enviable qualities that Wanda possesses and am certainly grateful that she represented ME in this huge transaction/purchase. Perhaps most noteworthy of Wanda's business (and personal) traits is her tenacity, thoroughness--unbelievable--and a philosophy of 'principles before personalities'. Above all, Wanda had always made me feel as though I was the most important, top priority client throughout our business relationship.'
--- Lynn Knee ---
'...Wanda was friendly, open and honest and made us feel comfortable working with her. She helped us understand the process and made us feel as if she were working for us.'
--- Patty and Bernie Silver ---
'The entire selling process went incredibly smoothly. ...I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.'
--- Mike Maida ---
'We just wanted to say 'thank you' for all your help with the sale of our townhouse...your efforts made the sale of our home a very stress-free period for us. You constantly demonstrated your professionalism and gave us very sound advise ensuring that we got a very good price for our house with minimal effort on our part.'
--- Keith and Barbara Pollard ---
'As a first time homebuyer, I required a bit of instruction and hand-holding in the process... Wanda Klor was recommended to me by a co-worker as being the type of individual who could provide me with the services I needed. I was very pleased with the work Wanda did for me...'
--- Nancy Murry ---
'It is people like you who make things happen, keep people informed and will get referrals whenever I hear that someone is looking to purchase or sell a house.'
--- Maxine Millender ---
'My wife and I have bought and sold ten properties over the 34 years of our marriage. There is no question in our minds that you [Wanda Klor] are the most thorough, efficient, and congenial agent we have ever employed.'
--- Bob and Dolly Knee ---
'When we decided to put our home on the market, we didn't even have to think twice about whom to call... After the sale of our townhouse, we referred our friends to you...Scott has told me what a pleasure it was working with you in helping them find a new home. Just in time too, they just welcomed a new addition to their family.'
---Joanne Hsing ---
'Both my wife and I dreaded the process of offer, counter offer, recounter, bickering etc. In our case, a single offer was made and accepted. The closing process took a minimum of our valuable time; and we were well prepared in every activity far in advance of its occurrence. We highly recommend Wanda to anyone interested in obtaining a real estate professional and ultimately a friend.'
--- Bill and Linda Crawford ---
'The more we speak with others, the more we appreciate your efforts. Your patience and attitude with our children is also most appreciated. You took the time to explain some things to them and made them feel they were a part of the process. The other people tell us that you spoiled us. We like that.'
--- The Cole Family ---
'For me, Wanda took all the stress out of the process of selling a large, older home in an incredibly short time--and at a profit far exceeding my expectations and yet still very advantageous to the new owners.'
--- Gene Coe ---
'Most people we talk to still don't believe us when we tell them we sold our house in less than four days and at a good price!! Thanks to you, we were able to move into our new house before the Thanksgiving holidays! Your professionalism, knowledge of the market, understanding of sellers and buyers needs, ability to get a win-win agreement, and off-beat sense of humor really helped...through this chaotic time.'
---Tim and Lucy Gore ---
