Mavis and I first met when our children were in the same elementary school. She ran the school fundraiser and did a tremendous job, honoring her commitments, even when she had many other demands on her time, and always staying upbeat. I liked her commitment to seeing a job done well. Mavis is completely reliable [...]
We met Mavis through the recommendation of friends who had purchased a house with her in a very competitive situation. She provided excellent service. She was very patient with our never-ending house search; she was extremely giving of her time and resources; she was very accessible even when out-of-town. Mavis spoke candidly—and we needed that!

Mavis is stellar. She was attuned to our wishes and mindful of our limitations. Her honesty, experience, and deep knowledge of the cities and neighborhoods we were interested in were all huge benefits to us as first-time home-buyers. She was always a joy to deal with, and she put us in touch with a great [...]
We have a long-term professional relationship with Mavis.

She is very efficient and professional, which made for a speedy sale and purchase. We [...]
Mavis is willing to be honest. She pointed out things we couldn't see. But whatever her advice, she let us be in charge of making the decisions. I felt I could trust her to really help us. She made a painful experience (buying real estate in California) fun; we knew we were in good hands. [...]
We chose Mavis Delacroix as our realtor because we liked her straightforward "tell it like it is," demeanor. There are other realtors who really try to sell you and tell you what you want to hear. Mavis displays directness and experience that are a welcome difference. Mavis is hard-working and diligent. She knows the market [...]
My husband and I chose Mavis because several of my husband's colleagues had worked with her and recommended her highly. Mavis is frank, honest, professional, and very experienced. She communicates information in a clear manner—which was especially helpful for first-time home-buyers like ourselves. She has a great personality and sense of humor. We appreciated that [...]
As I mention in my bio on this site, I did my post-graduate work in Mathematics and after working as a research analyst at Bank of America, I held a teaching position at the University of Hayward for 11 years. I loved teaching. But I had to leave when the State of California cut the [...]

To make matters even more complex, sometimes someone has lived in a house for so long, they may not be aware that something inside it is unattractive or dysfunctional in some way. As a neutral third party, your realtor can assess the layout and design [...]
