Meraki Real Estate -Rica Ruiz Edgewater Blvd, Foster City

My wife and I have worked with many realtors over the years - but Rica Ruiz stands out. Our recent home purchase in Redwood City had a number of situations which made it very unique and challenging. Rica handled all of them and provided exceptional professional interaction with the listing agent to make the purchase happen. A less experienced or less determined realtor would not have been able to help us get into our new place. I cannot recommend Meraki more highly!!

Rica helped me sell my condo in a turbulent market, and throughout this process, I was already out of state and had limited phone availability for several weeks. Rica and Jeannette handled many details with aplomb. I am highly impressed by Rica's deep knowledge of the local market. In various conversations where we discussed strategies, Rica had already memorized the exact price of nearby competing condos, had the insider knowledge of their status, and armed with such data, navigated me toward a successful close.

Meraki is a company I can put my complete trust in. I can rest with confidence that they will do faithfully and diligently what is required and beyond. They explained to my aging brother all the intricate details of selling his home two years prior to the event. He felt confident with them. Meraki also helped my daughter ten years ago in the purchase of their home. They were very pleased with the result. They were able to enter the Bay Area housing market on their limited budget. In this very unique Bay Area housing market it is imperative to have a realtor that is knowledgeable, competent and totally trustworthy Meraki is all that.

I have known Rica for many years. She is professional, knowledgeable, and most important honest. She helped us finding our house when the market was super hot in 2014. She was very patient with us, while steering us to facing the reality of the SF bay area housing market. It was an emotional and at the end a satisfying experience. We appreciated her professionalism throughout the process. Several years later, when we decided to sell our house, we did not even think about hiring a different agent. We contacted Rica and noticed that her team had grown significantly. I was very happy for Rica's success and she deserved it. Long story short, Rica and her team helped us selling our house in the middle of the pandemic. She was always there for us in navigating the process. I highly recommend Rica and her team.

Marcia Fancher and Meraki Real Estate were absolutely fantastic to work with on the sale of my parents' home. Professional, hard working, and highly dedicated. Marcia explained everything to me and always had time to answer my questions. Marcia was a pure pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.

My experience working with Marcia Fancher truly warrants more than 5 stars, and I could not recommend her any more highly as a real estate agent. From the day I first signed with her, to today, when my aunt's house closed, Marcia has not only met my expectations; she has truly hit them out of the park. I live in another state and was tasked with selling my aunt's 60+ year old home, which contained all of her belongings she collected over the past 50 years. Marcia did everything imaginable to make this as easy as possible on me; from arranging estate sales, to helping with the disposal of the personal property, to hiring contractors for needed repairs, and arranging for reasonably costs remodeling that literally transformed the home into a thing of beauty. Best of all, she got a price for the house that far exceeded my expectations. I can't imagine there is another realtor in the San Mateo area that can surpass Marcia's customer service, and I could not be any more sincere in recommending her to anyone in need of a realtor. You will not be disappointed. Nick S.

Rica and her team at Meraki Real State were able to make the dream of owning a home possible for my wife and I, they found the perfect house for us making the process enjoyable and insightful. All listing were available at our fingertips thanks to the online tools provided by Meraki Real State, their team of professionals assisted me even being away on vacations outside the United States. Thank you, Rica and Mariah, for taking good care of us and making a process that can sometimes be cumbersome seem so easy.

Selling one's childhood home in the setting of intense grief after the loss of one's parents should be the hardest thing ever. Marcia made it as easy as this experience could possibly be. She was communicative, dedicated, patient and compassionate with both my sister and I. Things were smooth and uncomplicated, and in talking with others, not necessarily how the selling of a home usually goes. I credit Marcia with this seamless transition. Use Marcia. She will get the job done for you and your family.

In addition to getting us $100k over asking when we sold our condo, Rica and her team were indispensable in the overwhelming process of moving, preparing our condo for sale, and the selling process itself. She had contacts for anything we needed, including movers, haulers, and for storage units. Rica advised us on what updates to the condo would make the most sense financially and still get us a good return. Her and her team coordinated bringing the painters, general contractors, stagers, and cleaners onboard and scheduled. Once we moved out we handed the keys over to her team and they took care of the rest. Ensuring all the work got done on time, holding just one weekend open house to get us multiple offers, advising us on the offers including to counter, and then managing the selling process. She kept us informed and advised us as needed through-out the entire process. We are so grateful to Rica and her team. Thank you again!

Rica has truly made my life easy by taking care of everything involved in selling my home. There are so many things to do when you are moving homes and it is great to have an experienced agent and friend on your side who has the connections needed to get everything done. For me, this meant Rica & team organized the following: - hauling furniture and stuff I did not want to move to my new home - renovating and paining kitchen and walls - deep cleaning of the entire space - staging and online presence (walkthrough & photos) - in-person showings and offer screenings I'm sure I forgot a thousand of other things because I had already moved cross-country when all the action happened. But I'm happy with the end result and appreciate not having to worry too much about the whole process. Thank you so much Rica!
