Hello! I'm Arfel, your neighborhood Realtor based here in the Bay Area. Originally from the vibrant landscapes of the Philippines, I am fluent in English, Tagalog, and Bisaya, making communication as seamless as possible for our diverse community. I stepped into real estate driven by a passion for empowering others with the knowledge I gain daily.
I specialize in residential properties and bring a unique perspective. Before becoming a realtor, I spent five years in apartment maintenance, including two years as a technician and three as a maintenance manager. My hands-on experience with minor construction and appliance repairs enhances my understanding of homes and allows me to offer practical insights and solutions to my clients.
My approach to real estate is built on three foundational pillars: transparency, honesty, and commitment. But it's my commitment to service that truly sets me apart. I believe in being personable and patient, actively reaching out to clients, and offering assistance that extends beyond the typical duties of a Realtor. Whether helping with home repairs or providing guidance in the local community, I'm here to ensure you feel valued and prioritized.
A fun fact about me: I used to sell koi fish and was deeply committed to ensuring they thrived in their new homes. This involved advising on pond setups and even making personal visits to optimize their environments, all without expecting anything in return. This level of care and commitment is what I bring to my real estate clients, ensuring you feel my passion and dedication in every interaction.
Outside of real estate, I am an avid koi fish keeper and play guitar as part of a worship team at a Christian church in Vallejo. While I am still exploring what I love most about our local community, I am eager to dive deeper into its culture and contribute to its vibrancy. Whether buying your first home or seeking a trustworthy agent who knows the ins and outs of houses, I'm here to help guide you with integrity and a friendly smile.
