Vial Properties

While looking at an open house «condo,» met Connie Vial. Her knowledge regarding the property amazed me! Just knew this agent was someone that really understood real estate from top to bottom.
I ended up purchasing this property, she walked me through the process including finding a tenant for me. She was there to answer any questions or concerns I had, and there were many!
Eventually decided to sell the condo after many years. Called Vial Properties right away. My condo sold so fast and with multiple offers, in my opinion because of her experience.
From that point on will only use her for any real estate transactions in the future…

From 2013 to 2014, my husband and I were looking around everywhere for an affordable single family home. We were in a 3 bedroom 2 bath condo in Santa Clara, but we wanted to move to a house so that our kids could have a yard to play in. Even with our parents’ help, though, we were substantially priced out of homes along the peninsula. It was incredible how high even the smallest SFH were going for– all the way through Mountain View and Sunnyvale areas. Our criteria was to find a friendly community, walking distance to a downtown, reasonable commute to work (Silicon Valley), and decent schools. We quickly learned that these elements add up to locations that we could never afford – but we never gave up searching and trying to look. Connie was extremely patient for probably close to our year and a half search. She was never too busy to look up stats on a home and was always willing to go visit and do research on new areas we were exploring. She even attended the service of a local church when we were looking in the Santa Clara area just to get the feel of the residents in the neighborhood.
Connie also did extensive research every time we received the docs for a home, she would read through a ton of documents and let us know immediately whether a house had a lien, current owners were in financial trouble, if inspection reports indicated some major potentially costly issues… etc. We were not experienced in all the aspects of a SFH and real estate realities – and would have never known to look for this stuff. Connie genuinely cared about our well-​being and wanted to see our family start life in a neighborhood and a house that was perfectly suited for us. She helped us avoid major trouble and it was uncanny how many shady agents there were out there. Many of the selling agents were either evasive or unknowledgeable about their properties.
One of the houses we wanted to bid on– night we were writing up the offer, we found out that the selling agent decided to start escrow with another buyer– even after we said we would be giving him our offer the very next morning. He did not post a due date, so we were not late or anything– the selling agent just didn’t bother waiting. In the end though, we were much better off having not gotten that house.
After several rounds of emotional turmoil– Connie remained positive and always reassured us that there is a home out there and that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Long story short, after 8 offers I think (lost track) – we ended up getting a fixer upper in Willow Glen that offered us everything we were looking for – all thanks to Connie. Our house is now fully rebuilt, expanded, and perfect for us. We couldn’t have done all this without Connie’s patient guidance and knowledge. She is one of the most genuine, loving, intelligent, caring, and honest people we know. thank you so much Connie!
In addition– she ended up selling our condo in Santa Clara for much more than we had anticipated or planned for – because she was able to strategically counter the highest offer and got us a great offer!
