You want to buy or sell real estate

You’ve heard the Bay Area market is wild and may feel a bit intimidated. The steps in front of you seem hazy.

You don’t need to figure it out on your own. You deserve to work with a Realtor who can simplify the process and help you accomplish your real estate goals.

Hi - I’m Felicia Mares

an East Bay realtor passionate about guiding clients, whether first-timers or experienced homeowners, to accomplish their real estate goals.
Navigating the world of real estate can be daunting, but I’m here to walk you through it. My no-pressure approach has helped hundreds of individuals gain clarity about home buying & selling.

Real estate is about building your future: whether you’re purchasing a property to feel a sense of stability, saying goodbye to the home you’ve raised your family in, or purchasing a rental property to add to your retirement plan – I can help get you to the future you’ve been dreaming of.

When I was younger, I witnessed my mom struggling through the home-buying process as one of the first people in our family to purchase a home.

The process was very difficult, as she was receiving poor guidance from the real estate agents she was working with. It didn’t feel fair.. she worked tirelessly to save up enough money to finally purchase a home, all on her own. Luckily my mom is very persistent so this story has a happy ending: she became a first-time homeowner. Now her home is worth three times the amount she purchased it for! This is a prime example of how real estate builds generational wealth. It has changed the trajectory of our family forever.

A decade later my mom’s experience was fresh in my mind as I jumped headfirst into the real estate industry. I set out to help people avoid the headache and heartache that often come with buying or selling real estate. While this process can be intense, I go the extra mile for my clients.

I studied Psychology at UC Davis and worked as a full-time nanny before diving into real estate. The top quality that I’ve retained from this background is patience! Real estate transactions can throw us some curveballs and I’m able to remain patient while advocating for my clients.

As a Realtor, it is vital to team up with a brokerage with similar values – so since 2017, I have worked with Abio Properties, a local boutique brokerage. They genuinely believe that real estate agencies should be collaborative and straightforward.
