Rosa Bencuya - Saratoga, California

Karol Gardner

Rosa is a fantastic and knowledgeable realtor and we made the best decision in reaching out to her. Prompt and considerate of our time, she was always there for our questions and discussions regarding our sale. My husband and I have experience in both buying and selling homes, but Saratoga is a unique market and we greatly appreciated Rosa’s experience. Rosa coordinated all painting, cleaning, repairs and staging for a beautiful presentation and then payment for contractors was processed through Compass’ Concierge system which allowed all costs to flow through to escrow. This made the preparation process seamless for us, but we know she worked diligently. She was knowledgeable about inspections and the importance of disclosures so that the house was presented thoroughly and honestly for potential buyers which meant that negotiation was kept to a minimum. Rosa always presented information to us so that we understood our options and would follow up promptly on anything she had to research. Given the market conditions, she moved quickly to get our home on the market and we believe that Rosa was instrumental in obtaining the best sales price with her excellent handling and negotiation skills. If we had another house to buy or sell in the Bay Area, we’d call her again!

I've had the pleasure of working with Rosa to sell my condo in the Willow Glen neighborhood (2021) after she came highly recommended. She made the entire process seamless and as easy as possible. she coordinated with the painter, stager, cleaner and handyman, the same day my tenants moved out to have my condo ready for the market in less than one week. She was always available by phone or text and if she didn't have the answer she made sure to follow up promptly. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend Rosa in a heartbeat!

Also note she still manages to go far ABOVE AND BEYOND even more than a year since I sold my condo! I had a package delivered to an old address and I do not live in the area anymore. I had reached out asking for the new owners contact and she gladly coordinated with them to retrieve the package and even shipped it to me within a few days. This exemplifies how much she values her clients and willing to do whatever it takes to make them happy.

Rosa is by the most superior realtor I've ever worked with and would definitely recommend 10/10!

We had fantastic experience to buy our first home.We feel buying home is daunting task, but buying first home in bay area’s competitive market is hardest one
We initially meet Rosa in 2012 to get a feel for home buying process and guidance from professional to buy home.She was vested from start.Rosa was extremely quick with her response call/text/email in our buying process.We were first time home buyer and really didn’t have any idea what to expect.We found at that time we were not ready.Rosa respected our decision and gave us time When we were finally ready to leap in the process and buy a home. Rosa was our first choice to start again and get our new home. Rosa is trustworthy and never forces her client to make decision.She gives enough space so buyers can make decisions within a time frame. Rosa is smart , quick and effective with her strategy.Rosa put extra efforts to know clients and their family members and their desire to buy home as per area, budget, requirements . She is so flexible and helped us to get house tours which we like in a short period of time. We were so impressed by her passion towards work  in showing houses, quick followup for disclosure, building rapport with sellers' agents, and building connections so the deal was smooth. Rosa stretched herself to follow up to  PG&E  customer service to get accurate info before we ended up doing the final call in our buying process.Rosa is well experienced and  we highly recommend her if you're new in the buying process go for her.She has good connection with contractors, inspectors and loan approval officers.

When we recently considered the sale of our home in Sunnyvale, many realtors were calling us, leaving messages, cards, and notes on our front steps (vying for the job?). Fortunately, we had previously seen how effectively the house of a friend was brought to market by Rosa Bencuya from Compass realtors. After having visited an open house at our friend’s former home, and after having heard the final selling price negotiated by Rosa, our decision to select her to handle the anticipated sale of our own home was a no-brainer.
We first met with Rosa several months before bringing our house to market so that we could get to know her and ask her for suggestions on preparing the house for sale. Rosa graciously met with us several times, without being sure that she would become our agent. Each time she was helpful, knowledgeable and willing to guide us. She shared her resources, from house painters to tree trimmers, and each person recommended by her was excellent.
The details of the work needed before selling our house were intimidating for us, but not for Rosa. We had moved to a retirement community out of the area, and we were ambivalent in trying to decide whether to keep the house as a rental, or to sell it; how much work we should do in either case; and the pros and cons of each possible decision. All this time Rosa was much more than an agent. She understood our dilemma and was always supportive, never pushing us, but always helpful and smiling. Rosa always had a plan B and even a plan C for us to consider.
We finally decided that selling the house outright would be our best option. After we had moved out, we entrusted Rosa with finishing its preparation for sale, staging it, and putting it on the market. Her years of experience and her in-depth knowledge of the market shined. Once the house was placed on the market, it was sold in one weekend, and for considerably more than the asking price ... as Rosa had predicted! Although she helped us determine the initial asking price based on a comprehensive analysis of the property, Rosa clearly understood the dynamics of the current market.
I’m sure there are many knowledgeable, dedicated, and experienced professionals in real estate, but Rosa Bencuya brings a level of caring and excellence to the job that are based not only on her head, but also in her heart. Her services as a realtor were truly exceptional, and we enthusiastically recommend her.

I have had 2 amazing experiences with Rosa as my realtor. I bought a condo years ago with her and I just sold it to be able to purchase another home. I could always count on Rosa to look out for my best interests and make sure I understood all of my options before I made a decision. Both times Rosa and I worked together, one or both of us was out of the state or country! She managed this seamlessly, as if we were in the same time zone. I cannot say enough good things about her: she makes a very complicated process easy and you will never feel like you’re trying to do it on your own. She never treats this process as a business transaction. She is so personable and caring and will instantly connect with you, which means that she knows how to find just what you’re looking for. You won’t realize how much work she is doing in the background to make everything go smoothly until you listen to all the team members she works with sing her praises. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with her on a professional and personal level!

I highly recommend Rosa, she is an amazing realtor. I came to know her through a personal recommendation, and she exceeded all my expectations of what a realtor can be as a first-time home buyer. I really started trusting her when we were touring candidates home and she would have no fear of saying right away that a specific home was not a good option for me, even though this made her job harder. She was extremely prompt in scheduling tours for potential homes, always replying and scheduling in a few hours, making me feel like I was her only client. This promptness was crucial to get the home I wanted (and ended up buying) because it was an extremely competitive home with more than 10 offers, and only staying a few days in the market during a holiday period. Her expertise and deep knowledge about the market was fundamental to winning the home, as she knew even before we went to visit it that the listing was underpriced, how likely it would be to appraise for a certain value, and what to bid to have a chance. It was a very stressful process but Rosa made everything she could have done to make it better. Now I am extremely happy in my new first home, thanks to her. Finally, she made the process of moving in extremely easy by sharing her connections with great service providers.

A real estate transaction is among the most consequential financial transactions that we may execute. Partnering with a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent is key to sailing successfully through this cumbersome process. We recently completed a purchase of land in another county with Rosa's help. Rosa is a perfect partner for such journey - she has your back 100%, she is thorough, makes sure that all details and questions, none too small are clarified, all i's dotted and all t's crossed. If needed - she researches the property and the details of the transaction in depth. Add to that a very friendly attitude and incredible responsiveness and you can understand our enthusiasm and gratitude for having her alongside.

We greatly enjoyed working with Rosa. She truly enjoys educating clients on the market and process, and we so appreciated the time she spent walking us through each piece of the offer we were making and the purposes of each of the dizzying array of documents we had to sign. From a negotiation perspective, she is smart and savvy, and was able to provide valuable guidance on our offer that proved uncannily accurate. We'd recommend her highly.
