Agent

Elena Licari brings a unique perspective to real estate with 14+ years of experience as a San Jose firefighter. Her passion for real estate sparked when she met her husband, a Bay Area builder. Her creative strategies, vigorous negotiation skills, and 360-degree understanding of the market put her in the top 1% out of 1.4 million agents nationwide per RealTrends by Sales Volume in 2020 to Present. As a firefighter, Elena fell in love with helping people and learned to guide others through high-stress situations. The stakes are different in real estate but the lessons still apply as she coaches people through life-changing buying and selling decisions. Elena taps into the analytical and emotional sides of real estate to put each client in a position to win. Buying a home starts with a vision meeting. Elena takes more time at the beginning of the process which ultimately gets you to your future faster. She's an expert at finding off-market opportunities and believes the house-hunting process can and should be fun. Selling a home with her means utilizing the latest technology, and premium marketing - social media ads, custom websites, and content to her 12k followers to target the right buyers! Elena grew up in the Bay Area and currently lives on Lake Austin. She’s passionate about health, fitness, and is a lifelong learner whether it’s a seminar on emotional intelligence, a negotiation workshop, or her membership to the Lorna Hines Academy. She speaks Russian, rides dirt bikes, hikes, skis, wakesurfs, and has a general love for the outdoors. Community and lifestyle are part of buying and selling real estate, just as much as the house or property itself. Elena considers all these factors as she takes each client on the journey from real estate dreams to we just closed.
