As first time home buyers back in 2020, I was super nervous in purchasing my first home. Fast forward four years later, I was in the same position as I decided it was time to sell my home. I was referred to Charmaine Orcino-Gonazles as she has had a great reputation for selling homes. She had sold a home to one of my family members and all I heard were great things. I knew from the start, I'd want to proceed with Charmaine.Our first initial meeting with Charmaine went really great. We came up with a game plan from start to finish. She answered all my questions as I had so many being that it was my first time selling my home. She assured us that everything was going to be okay and great things will come with patience. We first listed our home to include having an open house on Labor Day weekend 2023. Charmaine believes presentation is key, so we set up our home perfectly for viewing pleasure. It looked like a model home! Anyhow, that weekend went really well because I believe 10-15 families combined came to look at the home. After our first open house, we were informed by Charmaine that a buyer was interested in our home and had already put in an offer. We were so surprised and was super happy that we accepted the offer. From there, we got the ball rolling. The selling process was moving pretty fast, but Charmaine kept us up to date and informed us at all times.As fate has it, we were informed by Charmaine that our buyers had pulled out last minute due to financial reasons. We were honestly devastated. We then sat down again once more to regroup and rethink of another plan which worked in our favor. We decided to take a hiatus and put our home on the market again in February of 2024.This time around, everything was going perfect and according to plan. Charmaine hosted another open house which brought more families in to view our home. It was then we found another buyer and the rest was history. Everything checked out perfectly between both parties and we were able to sell our home in March of 2024.I couldn't be any more happier with the results. I'm so happy I chose Charmaine because I know she will never give up on you or your family. She will always go above and beyond for you no matter what situation you're in. We never gave up. We believed in her and she believed in us that we were going to get the job done and that was to sell our first home.If you are looking to buy your first home or sell your home, I would recommend choosing Charmaine 100%! She will not let you down, guide you every step of the way, and most definitely get the job finished.

Charmaine made purchasing our home go very smoothly. She guided us from beginning to end. She was very thorough in explaining the procedure. Her communication was excellent. Charmaine went out of her way to really look for what we were looking for. She definitely helped us find the home we are now very happy in and would go to her for any real estate needs.

I received my keys to my new home last April, BIG THANKS to this lady! I knew Charm from high school and I’ve always known her to be a person of great character and a good heart. I started following her business Instagram @cogrealestate and I saw how she had worked with so many families in purchasing their homes prior to the pandemic and during. I kept her in mind just in case I wanted to take the plunge into the housing market world! I’m grateful I did! Charm was very professional and stayed transparent throughout my FIRST HOME BUYING journey! Buying in this pandemic housing market is no easy feat, especially for a single-income buyer! We came across major competition and offers way out of my league. After 2 biddings against investors, Charm put on the “charm” (sorry, had to throw in the pun) and was able to make a very sincere but strong case on my behalf to the seller! What Charm really did was be honest and stayed transparent which I do believe won the seller over in the end. I am so forever thankful to her! During the escrow there were times that were uncertain (as I was told by many experienced home-buyers is a given) and Charm always took the time to communicate via call, text or email to reassure me that she was working behind the scenes on whatever task it was and that she would follow up with me as soon as she heard any news. Charm is reliable, communicative, honest, and always has your back! These qualities overpowered any uncertainty which makes this journey more enjoyable and memorable! The best day really is the “keys day” where Charm hands you your new keys! Charm was so sweet to bring balloons, cupcakes and a gift! Which I thought was the final proof of her love for the real estate business and the families she works with. You will have the best and most memorable home-buying experience! I’m literally over-the-moon!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Charm!! You absolutely will not regret it ??!! #choosecharm

I would definitely choose Charm over and over again! A little over 2 years ago my husband and I decided that we wanted to own a house of our own, but we had no idea where to start. So, we decided to call Charm. With her upbeat and positive energy, visions, and dedication- she did not decipoint. We (my husband and I) had two very different ideas of what we wanted in house in terms of location, size, and decor, but the one thing that we did agree on is that we did not want a “cookie cutter” house. We wanted a house that had its own appeal and something that we could make our own. Charm really took the time to listen to what we both wanted in order to find us a house that fit both of our visions- the house of our dreams! She went above and beyond our expectations. Charm got to know our distinct personalities, styles, and our “must haves” when looking for houses that fit our ideas and visions. Charm is one of a kind! She enabled us to see visions in homes that we would not have seen and for that we are grateful because she found us the perfect home. However, it didn’t stop there, when we finally found the house of our dreams- the previous homeowner had other offers on the house- we were devastated and sure that we would not get the house. Charm remained positive and guided us through the process to stand out and she fought for us- she made it happen! We are in love with our home and are eternally grateful to Charm for we would not have gotten our home without her!Choosing Charm was the best decision that we could have made to find for our forever home. Just choose Charm, I promise that she is the BEST!!

We could not have had a better experience with Charmaine! She came highly recommended from both family and friends. From the start she was very informative and knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. She provided us a plan for selling our house from the first meeting and helped to keep us on schedule with gentle reminders (which we needed a couple of times!) We only needed to hold one open house in order to obtain several valid offers due in large part to her social media advertising and listing on Zillow. She guided us through the process of evaluating the offers and picking the right buyer for our home. We would recommend Charmaine to anyone looking to sell or buy their home!
