About Us:

We are "The Realtors In Motion" our title derives from the fact that we are Amateur Ballroom Dance competitors. We love to volunteer to perform ballroom dance demonstrations around town.

The Realtors In Motion

We believe that competitive dancing is akin to selling real estate. Passion, rhythm, timing and etiquette, plus anticipating road blocks, accounting for everybody whereabouts starting on time and finally... finishing on time is of the essence... sounds familiar?  Call us, we are ready to TANGO WITH YOU!

Testimonials

From a letter received 3/14/07

Wilma, age 92, had a difficult time letting go of the home that she lived in for over 50 years, not to mention all the possessions she had accumulated during that time. You worked very hard to make this transition easy for her.

You found a licensed, estate agency to sell and dispose of all her things and to clean her home. You met with her on a regular basis at her asisted living complex to keep her informed on what was happening and then you personally pick her up and took her to the necessary appointments that were needed to complete the home sale (lawyers, banks, title companies). Unbelievable!

You were always very respectful and took great care and understanding when dealing with her. Considering that I live 4 hours north of San Leandro, it was comforting for me to know that Wilma was in such trusting and honest hands.  Dede Raisanen  

Antonio & Alexia, I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate the way you handled the sale of my parents house in Bay-O-Vista. I know it wasn't easy for you to deal with my 2 brothers and their different opinions and knew that you were not obligated to address their concerns or deal with them at all, you still did, and that helped a lot making this a smooth transition for all of us in the family, I was most impressed by your knowledge of the neighborhood and by how many neighbors were pleased that we have chosen you to sell the house. Like my mother said to me one day; this couple works like they dance! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sandra Hurd (View Drive)
