I've worked with a half dozen different real estate groups, and the Rose group definitely rises to the top. They're culture and motto are worthy of respect and their effectiveness, experience and candor really make it so you feel like you haver a partner in finding a great home. I recommend the Rose Group for anyone looking to have a high quality home buying experience.

Shannon was nothing less than terrific! She was extremely thorough in her research and marketing efforts to sell our home, while caring and listening to our needs and concerns. Shannon was prompt in responding to calls, texts and emails, and always provided us with clear, detailed information. We found Shannon to be very professional, helpful and compassionate, often going above and beyond what we would have expected of a realtor. Shannon also provided us with great referrals at a moments notice; from interior to exterior projects and repairs, which helped ease our stress-load tremendously! Shannon was with us every step of the way, and we were very impressed with her friendly demeanor, high work ethic, tireless commitment, and well- executed selling strategy, which ultimately, brought us top-dollar for our beloved home. We would definitely recommend Shannon Rose!

I have had the opportunity to work with the Rose Group on many transactions. Not only are they professional, hardworking and knowledgeable they are always putting their client's needs first. When working with the Rose Group you will receive nothing short of excellence, transparency and integrity.

Dan and Shannon are incredible to work with! We had worked with Dan on a previous home purchase and new exactly who we wanted to work with again when it came to selling our home in San Jose. Both Dan and Shannon were extremely prompt in responses to our questions, were available at almost all times via text message, and did a great job in helping us prep our house for sale. Everything was extremely clear as we worked with them through this process and it made us feel a lot more calm during a very stressful time!

Shannon and Dan helped us purchase a home a few years ago, and we went back to them when we needed to sell it recently. During both processes, they were very knowledgable about changes to homes and estimates on how difficult something might be to change. As our sellers agents, they recommended small changes that would make the house look even better to potential buyers. We trust them full with this process and were thrilled with the outcome and speed of the sale as well. Last, they went above and beyond to manage the selling process after we moved to a new state and couldn't be there in person. We truly appreciated this effort.

For our first home sale, Shannon made our experience and process extremely easy and informative. From any inspections needed, any prepping to increase the value, to the staging of our home. Shannon was with us every step of the way, and it was one of the quickest closings I've ever heard of. We closed in 21 days!! We decided to rent for a short period of time and are now actively looking for our next. We chose to work with Shannon again, and she has made the searching process fun and insightful. Her experience and attention to detail is truly unmatched! I have and will continue to refer her to all my friends and family : )

Rose Group is an amazing Team to work with if you're selling your home. Shannon was so informative and helpful with every single step of the process. She started off with a great offering price and within 3 days had multiple bids with offers well over 50k above asking. Currently working with them again on purchasing a home and its been just as seamless as it was selling our home! We would recommend them every time with Family and Friends looking to buy or sell.

I'd give Shannon 10 stars if I could! Shannon helped us sell our home in days at a new all time high for our area. We had used Shannon when we originally bought our home. Our positive experience with her back then had us convinced that we would select her for selling our home when the time came. Shannon did a fantastic job helping us sell our home. We knew we wanted to sell so we could move over the summer and she helped us identify the right time to go on the market. We knew we wanted to get top dollar for our home and she helped us identify which home improvements would get a return on our investment and which ones would not. She helped us get the best price for our home - we set a new all time high for our area even though the market was starting to soften. Shannon and her team were always very responsive, friendly, professional and knowledgable. I'm convinced she is the reason we got top dollar for our home. We sold in less than a week for well over our asking price and set a new high for our area.

It was a pleasure working with Shannon, Dan and associates. They helped us navigate such a difficult market. Our home buying journey started in 2020 and we finally found the perfect home in 2022. If that isn't a testament to the care and patience Shannon and company provide, I don't know what is! Shannon always knew the right questions to ask us to spark thoughtful and careful conversation around such a big decision. If you're looking for a team to give you the time and care you need, look no further!

Kathie is awesome! She was so helpful to me. Thanks to her, I was able to buy my first home. She answered all my questions and all my phone calls. She supported me and explained things to me every step of the way. I could not have done it without her!

We recently purchased a weekend house in Santa Cruz. Thanks to Kathie, we found the perfect place for our family! We were getting discouraged putting in offers and losing out to cash overs over asking price. Just when we were getting close to giving up, Kathie made things happen. She had mailed out letters and called all of the properties in the area that met our needs to gauge any interest in selling. We ended up closing on a property before it hit the market! After that, closing was not smooth sailing. We had several bumps in the road, but once again Kathie was vigilant in her communication with all parties involved to smooth out all issues so that we were able to close on time. Another major plus of working with Kathie is the fact that she has lived and worked in the Santa Cruz community for over 20 years. She has built so many great relationships with people in the trades. We wanted to complete a full remodel on a very short timeframe before moving in. Kathie connected us with a contractor that she has used many times in the past. She also connected us to flooring company and a window treatment company. All the referrals exceeded our expectations in service and were reasonably priced. We highly recommend Kathie and could not be more thankful for what she did for our family.

When Shannon to me that she would take care of EVERYTHING, she really meant it. The sale of our house was seamless. She took care of everything and I never had to worry about one single thing. She is professional, personable, and really cares about doing a great job. I recommend her 100%.

We had a great experience with Rose Group! They were responsive, thoughtful, professional and easy to work with. They were knowledgeable and helped us really narrow our home search in a way that maximized our opportunities to get a home. For a process that can be long, difficult, and frustrating- we had a smooth and fairly short search. Once we closed on our home, they connected us to several contractors to help us take care of the little (and big) things. We’ll be referring them to our friends and family every chance we get. We can’t thank them enough!

I recently had an amazing experience with my Real Estate agent, I wanted to be sure to share her with everyone!Shannon Rose is what some may call "the best of the best!" She helped to sell our first condo in building 16 while working hard to find us a new home after finding out we were expecting our little bundle of joy. We had an offer accepted on a home in San Jose (which we quickly regretted because it was so far away) and we were on track to move! Shannon got to work right away on getting our condo ready to list. What did this include, you might ask:• Maid service• Staging• Professional photographyThe great news is that these services did not cost us a penny! They were all included in Shannon's services!Once the photography was done, it was time to get our home listed on the MLS and a billion other Real Estate websites. We had a sign put up at the entrance of complex and an open house the following weekend. With a ton of foot traffic and a great response it was time to review offers, 10 of them to be exact! We accepted an offer for 12% over asking price!! What a great surprise!! She was our hero!Her professionally trained team was amazing during this process as well. Her Transaction Coordinator was in contact with us every day to ensure that we knew exactly where we were at in the process and her Client Liaison was helpful in getting any appointments for document signing set up.Shannon Rose went above and beyond for us during one of the most stressful times in our lives. She fought for us to get the best price for our home and kept fighting for us during our buying process. We had quite the experience on that side as well, but that story is for another time. If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell a home she's the agent to call! I'd recommend her all day long to every person I know because she and her team are THAT good!

Mary Hawley helped me to purchase a piece of land. Though the price of the land was low compared to home prices these days, she worked just as hard for me as you would expect from someone working on a high priced home. She answered all my questions and was always available when I needed her help. She will be my real estate agent for life! Use her, and you won’t be disappointed.

Shannon was great every step of the way - from explaining the nuances of the contract offer to figuring out what we should offer for the bid that was ultimately successful. She was also super responsive - always willing to take a call no matter the day or time. I highly recommend her!

I never expected to have our first offer accepted, but Vicky Gou made it happen. The rest of the process was very straightforward as a result of her advice. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Daniel and Shannon were my realtors here. I must say I am honored to have worked with such an awesome team.

I am rather extroverted and my wife is moreso introverted. Daniel helped her come out of her shell and voice her opinions beyond what I hoped for.

After a couple weekends of looking, Daniel found exactly what we were looking for. Our requirements were a little far fetched to find. I will list those here:
Two car garage, three car driveway, second driveway with space for a 40' RV located on the right hand side of the house, a 25 foot boat parking space, large backyard, Single Story feel, Kitchen sink facing the backyard, ready to go, in the specific area code, good schools, and on a quiet street.

If I was the realtor, I would have tried to change my clients mind to settle for less but Daniel found it within two weeks. I asked Daniel how he would rate this house to my needs and he gave it a 9/10. When he asked us, we said "the same, lets put in an offer".

From there it was pretty smooth sailing. 28 day close, I met the contractor that remodeled the house and the listing agent, both transparent and happy to assist beyond the sale.

If you are picky like myself, The Rose Group is the way to go! What we thought was going to be damn near impossible, it was possible and very simple.

I meet Mary Hawley, while she was working an Open House and I was out looking for potential new home. I wasn't in a hurry to move, and if I moved, it was because I found the perfect home and it met everything on my 'wish list'.

I gave Mary my wish list when we met for coffee. I liked how she asked me lots of questions to get to know me better. Afterall, the more she understood what I was looking for and what I could afford, the more productive we would be looking for potential homes.
Mary is also a designer, so she was able to provide ideas of what can be done to make a potential home my dream home. When we did find the home that met everything on my checklist, Mary also provided design and remodeling ideas, that were within my budget. The good news was, we found the perfect home. It just needed some changes to update the look, like hardwood floors, canned lights and a fresh coat of paint. The bad news was, it was during the most business time of year for my 'day job'. Mary could see that I was a bit overwhelmed and had no time to coordinate the remodeling efforts due to my job requirements, let alone find time to pack and move. Mary stepped in and went beyond expectations. She would call/coordinate the vendor/contractors for me. Thanks to Mary's expertise and project management skills, the enhancements were made to the home and I was able to move in right on schedule.

If you are looking for a realtor who not only knows the area, and also as an eye for design, I highly recommend Mary Hawley. Mary listens to what you want. She will not waste your time. And your relationship with Mary will go beyond the signing of the contracts. She will make sure you are moved in and loving your new home.

Mary Hawley and I worked on my dream goal to purchase a home in Silicon Valley, which at first seemed impossible but Mary was the only person who kept my spirits and hopes high through every property that we saw and researched. She helped me see and stay focused on my vision, believe in what was possible and finally made it happen. I have been working with Mary for a year and we recently closed on a house that I could never imagine being the owner of, but with Mary's strategic thinking, expertise in the Silicon Valley real estate market and continued hard work and persistence this dream finally came true. Mary is a wealth of knowledge and she knows the right people and contacts in this industry. She went above and beyond her way to stay in contact, answer any and all questions and always made my offer a priority. We saw the property that I wanted and Mary worked extremely hard to conduct the appropriate market research so that I didn't overpay, she very strategically and tactfully negotiated on my behalf with the seller and their agent so that I could get a quick response and decision and bought the house at its fair market value. Mary helped negotiate the best deal for my first purchase and has been there for me every step of the way. In spite of closing on the house, Mary has is still helping me with great recommendations and contacts to get work done in my new home and work on future remodeling ideas. I highly recommend Mary Hawley and The Rose Group team, they are a very knowledgeable and helpful team. They truly have a good pulse on this market and bring years of expertise in negotiating the best real estate deals. Being in Silicon Valley, they truly understand the sense of urgency of the Bay Area housing market, its demands, the constant bidding wars that clients face here, and how fast things must move to get a competitive advantage for their customers. I highly recommend working with Mary as your realtor, whether you are buying or selling property.

The Business of Well-Timed Miracles

Updated review: If you caught my past review of The Rose Group at Keller Williams, you'd see that my business with Shannon and team ended without a transaction taking place in 2015. Yet, I wholeheartedly recommended their business strategy building lifelong clients with their team.

18 months after I first met Shannon and team, my family again found the need for a Realtor. This time, specifically with impending 2016 election and unknown outcomes on the Mountain View market we needed a team to go to market in 2 weeks(!), including coordinate remodeling updates, get furniture out and staging in, photography and Open Houses! Shannon and everyone on her team showed up for every aspect to get this done. This is exactly why I started working with the Rose Group. The depth of support and years of experience to advise the best strategy for your life: NOT the business. But by supporting clients' life decisions, their business shines.

With that transaction completed, my next step was getting me into my forever home and alleviate the torture we call San Jose commuter traffic. I began working with Dan Sullivan, Realtor Extraordinaire. Open houses, endless listings, week after week of new properties. The frenetic Silicon Valley market and my limited budget required a vision and strategy to get offers considered and not an eternal exercise in futility. In Dan I found endless energy and suggestions, and felt like a colleague working on a project or friends sharing ideas with easy back and forth texting.

In December 2016, Dan performed a miracle, again with his Rose Group team behind him including Dave Belluomini from Wells Fargo Home Mortgages, and Dan's relationship working with the seller's agent. Thankfully the sellers accepted my offer (among multiple offers!) and they graciously stuck with me through difficult financing conditions related to inspections. Also amazingly, Dan hung on step by step in the trenches through 79 days for escrow to close in what I imagine to be one of the most difficult transactions ever. Never did I feel like these problems were mine alone to fix, and as a busy professional, that support is golden! Not only were Dan and Shannon there through escrow, but even after closing, they have contractors, handyman, movers, etc to help make your new house your home.

I am so blessed to be settled in my target neighborhood in this market and owe so much to my trust in Shannon Rose and Dan Sullivan to help me make this move and change my life. If you have pain points in your housing situation and just think you're stuck in this market, I thoroughly recommend calling the Rose Group for help!

We worked with Joe to buy our first home, and we could tell throughout the whole process that he really cared about us getting the house. He always explained everything at each stage, gave us great advice, and went the extra mile to make the experience as good as possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Rose Group, and Joe in particular to anyone looking to buy a home.
