Casey Serafino-Lee is a mover and a shaker, lover of all, no….most people, sucker for shiny objects and Realtor.  She loves to discover new hiking trails in the amazing outdoors, trying new restaurants and enjoying local events.  She loves playing tourist in her own area.

More than anything she loves to help people make sense of the crazy real estate process!

Casey has become known for helping people SELL their homes.  Her tag line "Helping You Move on to the Next Stage of Your Life," has been because the majority of her transactions have been helping people sell their parents homes in trusts, moving out of state or moving to a different area.

Casey graduated from California State University, Hayward and makes it clear not to call it Cal State East Bay.  With a B.S. in Business with a double emphasis in Accounting (which makes her a numbers and stats nerd!) and Human Resources (which makes her a people lover and rule follower!) she can handle real estate.

Casey is a loving mother, active community member and motivated real estate professional. She has experience as Director of Children Services at her local church and also taught biology and government classes at a private school, which she loved!  She also volunteered for many years in her son's Boy Scouts troop and her daughter's 4-H club.

Growing up, Casey was a real estate brat, spending many weekends in open houses watching her mom, also a REALTOR®, where her early real estate career began.

Knowing the local market like the back of our hand should be a given for any Realtor you consider working with.  Working with an area specialist is a necessity.  No one person can be a specialist in every area.  It’s impossible.  If they say they are, they’re lying…or they don’t sleep so they can study real estate markets instead.  To that, Casey’s says

• Jack of all trades, master of none – author unknown
• When you try to be everything to everyone, you accomplish being nothing to anyone. - Bonnie Gillespie

If you want an agent that is out of Casey’s zone of knowledge, she can definitely refer you up with a local specialist in that area.  She won’t try to pretend to be something she’s not.

Recently, Casey got her super cute, super sweet couple who were buying their first home, into contract because she was a LOCAL agent.  The house got eight offers, and their offer wasn’t the highest.  Knowing how to write the offer was one positive.  The next was that she knew how to write the contract the way the local agents want it; every county writes their contracts with different nuances.  Finally, the listing agent loved that Casey was a local agent that would be there for inspections, appraisals and one who knew the value of that home.  Finally, the kicker was that Casey answered her phone!  Not all agents do that.

Another time, Casey went on an appointment to meet with sellers.  After talking with them for a while and discussing their motivation to move, she told them that their numbers didn’t add up.  They didn’t NEED to move at the moment; they just wanted to know if they could.  Casey worked with them to come up with a game plan to sell the home when the time is right for them and when the numbers are right.  Casey expressed that she couldn’t lie about the numbers.  She’s an analytical person and numbers don’t lie.  If she did, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

But where Casey takes it farther is her focus on you having an amazing buying or selling experience so you can focus on living life!  After all she wants to Help you move on to the next stage of your life.
