Laxmi handled the sale of my grandmother’s house in San Bruno this past year. I also met Laxmi at an open house, and she impressed me immediately with her explanations of the process (this was my first time selling a property), and genuine caring attitude.

I had the pleasure of working with Laxmi to sell my San Bruno Property and I was so impressed with her services. I first met Laxmi at an open house, and from that moment, she's provided so much value as a realtor.
