Experience really counts here and she knows the Lamorinda market very well.
Thank You Elana!

I highly recommend working with Elena and her team to buy or sell your home. It is a great experience working with Elena in listing and selling our home. She is by far our best real estate agent, exceeding our expectations. She has an excellent reputation as knowledgeable and hardworking. She will roll up her sleeves to get things done and deliver results, multiple offers within the first week on the market.

She and her team will go up and beyond to get the best results. Elena is 4-stars.

My highest possible recommendation. Elena & Larry were trustworthy, honest and acted with complete integrity throughout the entire process.
They genuinely had our best interests in mind as they coached us through a 4+ month search to find our dream first home.

Now that the purchase has closed, I find myself thinking "That was too easy!" The process was only "easy" because Elena and Larry took care of every detail. In a market that we had limited experience, they were the ultimate professionals. Living less than one mile from where we purchased, they both provided invaluable

The Hood Group is the best in the business. Their knowledge of the market, representation of client needs, communication, responsiveness, and honesty are truly unsurpassed. I've worked with every member of the team and the integrity and work done are simply the best you'll find anywhere. Elena, Larry, Kirsten and Lilli - thank you thank you.

After living in Moraga for 19 years, and raising my three girls there, when my youngest went off to college, I decided it was time to sell my home. I did my research on realtors in the area that got great reviews, that were very active in listing properties for sale in the price range I was hoping for and Elena's name came up frequently. I reached out to her and asked if she would be interested in representing me and she responded immediately.

She and Larry developed a very comprehensive, professional presentation for me overnight and presented it to me in person. They were very knowledgeable

***Look no further than Elena & Larry when seeking an agent in Lamorinda.***

When we left San Francisco to move to the East Bay with kids, I honestly wanted to hire Elena to sell our SF apartment - she is that good on the sell-side... but thankfully, we were able to work with her and her husband, Larry, in our effort to buy a house in Lafayette. After helping us buy in 2012, they recently sold our house in record time, at record value. We looked for years in Lafayette before buying the first time, and for years before buying the second time, probably saw over 50 homes (!) in the area,

Elena and her Husband Larry are a fantastic team with high integrity - I can't recommend them enough.

While I'm no Donald Trump, I have had my fair share of experience buying and selling properties over the years. As a result I have worked with over a dozen realtors and stagers but none can ever live up to my experience working with the Elena Hood Group.

It's thanks to them that my wife and I are in our dream home today. They achieved this by talking us OUT of buying a home. One we really didn't want but felt compelled to settle for. It was the first time that I've ever

Your search for a realtor is over. We have worked with multiple realtors in the Lamorinda area, and Elena & Larry Hood are head and shoulders above the rest.

Their professionalism, experience and insight are second to none. They work for you and go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied.

So remember, when you're ready to list your home, It's Time To Call Elena!

My husband and I decided to take advantage of the sellers' real estate market this summer and listed our home with Elena Hood. From our first meeting with Elena and Larry through the entire transaction, it was apparent that we had made the right decision in choosing Elena. She is the epitome of professionalism, easy to talk to and work with. She assured us continually that she was available at any time and any time was the right time for any reason. Our home was staged beautifully, mostly with items from Elena's treasure trove, including some pieces from her own home. She treated

About fifteen years ago I went to one of Hood's open houses. She was nasty then. I swore to never go to another one where she was.

Accidentally made the same mistake today at an open house hoping it was another CB associate and not her. No luck. When she found out we were just neighbors looking at the place, she immediately made a phone call and ignored us. We are thinking of selling either our house in Moraga or our adjacent vacant lot. I know who I will NOT be dealing with for that.

GREAT customer service. Is all of Coldwell Banker Orinda this nasty, or is it just the Queen Bee?

I don

Elena and Larry are wonderful to work with. As first time home buyers, it was a daunting process but they made it very clear and easy. They always prioritized our schedule as we traveled from the East Coast, and helped ensure we were kept in the loop (daily during important periods). We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them to our friends.

My sister and I recently sold our parents' home of 47 years in Lafayette. We dreaded the experience in a tough buyer's market, but everything went smoothly and we could not have been more pleased with our agents, Elena and Larry Hood. Our folks' home looked tired and had a few significant negatives (e.g. no level backyard); the Hoods were experts in guiding us as to which improvements to make, and how to price the property appropriately. They had all the contacts we needed for the various repairs, inspections, etc. The house went on the market on a Sunday, and we had an offer

Elena and Larry Hood, and their team, provided far and away the best real estate experience I've ever had. I was referred to them by a friend and felt like I was in the most capable of hands throughout the process of searching for homes, making offers on multiple houses and ultimately locating and purchasing a home.

Elena and Larry know the area extremely well, are smart about the market and consistently gave great advice about strategies and techniques for buying a house. They were very professional and competent, which is extremely important to me in a service industry like real estate
