Vabrato Real Estate - San Carlos, California

I first met Viv in 2014 when she helped me purchase a home. It was an amazing experience, and her commitment went beyond the sale. I hired her and Mark at Vabrato to sell the same house 10 years later and they exceeded my expectations yet again! Their professionalism, market knowledge, and extensive network of connections made selling a seamless experience. Just like before, they guided me through every step, ensuring I got the best deal possible, quickly, and without interruption to daily life. They’re a phenomenal team who love what they do, and it shows in how they work with you. Buying or selling…HIRE VABRATO!

Working with Mark and Viv for the past five years has been an absolute pleasure. Their communication style is outstanding—always open, clear, and responsive, making collaboration effortless. I truly appreciate how easy they are to talk to and how seamlessly we stay aligned with our biweekly updates. Their market knowledge is exceptional, and their keen eye for detail ensures that every transaction is handled with precision and care. If you're looking for a real estate professional team who are reliable, knowledgeable, and truly invested in their clients' success, I highly recommend Mark and Viv!

Mark and Viv are BEYOND the gold standard in real estate.

Mark is witty and personable, clever, and a very intelligent Realtor and Broker. What I appreciate about them is while he's hard-working, he works smart, and will come up with great solutions in a short amount of time. He's technology-driven and an early adopter of automation and social media marketing.

You can bet when he says "Consider it done," it's accomplished with quality and class. The level of quality in anything Mark and his team do is beyond industry standards.

As an owner of a home staging business, I work with hundreds of agents, many of whom are in the top 1% of Silicon Valley and nationally as well. Together, my company and our agent clients transform properties into beautiful homes; many get sold well beyond the list price.

Because I see lots of behind the scenes from A-Z, I can tell you that there's a difference in workmanship and service. I can tell you who stays on top and abreast of their clients and their needs and who meets deadlines. I can tell you who respects their vendors, and who treats their staff with respect. I can tell you who understands that what they put out there is what they'll get back tenfold, without ever expecting anything in return.

Mark keeps it real. He's human and he's not out to outsmart anyone. You'll sense it from him from the first Hello.

I've seen the transformations he's made on many of his listings, many of which he personally insists because he wants to put the very best product out there, regardless of property value or price point.

This is the 5-star level of care and value he provides to all clients. You won't see the quick turn and burn transaction from him.

Mark and his team are genuine, respectful, and will see you through the sale or purchase of your home, a process that's not much fun, but will seem effortless with his guidance.

Give Mark a call. You'll see what I mean... And check out the photos below. He knows how to showcase and get homes sold!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was filled with so many emotions—excitement, nervousness, and at times, complete overwhelm. But from the very first conversation, Viv made me feel heard, supported, and, most importantly, reassured. She didn’t just help me find a house—she guided me home. Every step of the way, she was patient, answering all my questions (even the ones I asked twice!) and explaining the process in a way that made me feel confident instead of intimidated. When challenges popped up, as they inevitably do in real estate, she was my rock, always calm and solution oriented. What truly sets Viv apart is her heart. She genuinely cared about my happiness and never pressured me into making a decision that didn’t feel right. She celebrated with me when we found "the one," and when I finally got the keys, it felt like she was just as excited as I was! If you're looking for a Realtor who not only knows the market but also knows how to ease your fears and make the experience joyful, Viv is the one. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide in this journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I highly recommend Vivienne and Mark for any of your real estate needs! They were professional, courteous and communicated every step during the process of selling our condo. We live out of the area, however, they handled everything to ensure we received top dollar for our property. I would definitely use them again!

Vivienne and Mark are terrific. Full service with outstanding results. Our townhouse needed considerable work to attract buyers. Vibrato Real Estate handled everything. Couldn't be happier.

Vivienne and Mark did a wonderful job selling our mother’s house, where my brother and I grew up. They were sensitive concerning how attached we were to Mom’s house, and yet were clear that anything they did to “spruce up” the place was done in order to help the house sell. They know their clientele, obviously, as the house sold within a week! What a relief it was to have everything go so smoothly and quickly during all phases – the cleaning, painting and repairs, staging, open houses, and finally the paperwork.

I highly recommend the team of Vivienne and Mark for selling your property.

I highly recommend Mark and Viv for any real estate needs. From the moment we met with Mark to the end of escrow, we were treated with professionalism, courtesy, and, most important, constant and open communication. We appreciated their ideas to improve the property and the execution of these ideas. We feel that these upgrades, in turn, brought us a better return. Not to belabor the point, but what seriously set them apart from other agents is their ability to listen to us as sellers, our wishes, and respond to our questions in a timely manner. Mark and Viv exceeded at this aspect in our sale.
