“Vinicius helped to sell our home of 15 years. We interviewed several real estate agents from the South Bay and some through referrals. What we loved about Vinicius was that he was very down to earth and we had a high amount of comfort with him that he was going to do what was best for us from the start. He truly looks out for his clients and helps them maximize their chances of selling at a good price, even in tough markets. His contacts of contractors, gardeners, landscapers came in handy when it came to get our home ready for sale. He handled everything from start to finish and was in constant communication with us through the entire sales process. Vinicius is very fluent when it comes to tech marketing. The VR walkthrough of our house was tops and his home feature video made our house look amazing. I would highly recommend Vinicius Brasil for anyone looking to sell their home with a 5 star agent! Thank you Vinicius, we really appreciate everything that you have done for our family!”

“I worked with Vinicius to sell my house in Santa Clara, as I was relocating out of state. I was a bit concerned that I would be at a disadvantage selling from out of state, but he really put my mind at ease on that account during our initial consultation: he told me it would be no problem and he was right. The house needed some minor repairs, and I was really dreading having to deal with contractors to get that done, but Vinicius and his contacts got that taken care of quickly and efficiently without me having to lift a finger beyond letting the repair crew in the door while I was still living there. Vinicius also completely managed the pre-inspection and recommended some additional repairs based on that, all of which came in well below what I had originally been expecting. With that all done, the house sold within a week of listing, at a price I was happy with. When I was looking for selling agents, I was looking for someone that could just deal with everything so I wouldn’t have to, and Vinicius definitely delivered on that!”

Review has been a long time coming but wanted everyone to know what a great experience I had using Vinicius Brasil expertise in selling my mom’s home in Cupertino. He had great ideas on what could be done for better return on investments. His excellent communication, negotiating skills and guidance helped make an overwhelming task of selling my family home less stressful. The staging team did a terrific job on making a 60 year old home look so chic and trendy.

Vini stepped us through every possibility we might come up against when selling our home. He explained all the pros and cons of what to upgrade and what not to. He explained the value of each upgrade and how to accomplish it financially. Our home was one with small square footage. But with the upgrades and his group of professionals the staging made the house a show piece. We are deeply and sincerely grateful for his guidance and knowledge. My husband and myself will continue to recommend Vini to any and all who wish to buy or sell a home on the Bay Area.

Vinicius helped us sell our Santa Clara condo and he exceeded all our expectations. We interviewed few agents before finalizing with Vinicius due to his knowledge of Santa Clara as well as extensive reach of his portfolio. He made it simple and not stressful. The staging made my home look fabulous and we were able to get many offers and sell for $150,000 over list price in one week. We highly recommend Vinicius as an extremely professional agent to work with. Vinicius is ultimate expert in bay area real estate market and we plan to utilize his (and his team, Thomas Feng) services for our future needs. Good luck!

Vinicius helped us buy our current home in Santa Clara, CA last year off-market with the vision of remodeling it. It was just a simple and fabulous experience working with him and his team. Now that we have remodeled and settled into our new place, it was time to think whether we wanted to sell the old place or not (in Santa Clara). Vinicius was only person we contacted and he went through the pros and cons of selling our house based on our current situation and what we had planned for the future. We decided to sell the house and chose Vinicius as our representative. Vinicius just sold my Santa Clara home and I must say he exceeded all of our already high expectations. Vinicius came to the house and we made a list of things that needs to he renovated to make selling the house much earlier. We had our contractor do the work (Vinicius also provided a contractor’s quote to do the job) but Vinicius handled all the materials, paint selection that made the house look great. Vinicius used to come often to ensure the work was done properly to his satisfaction. Vinicius and his team did the staging of the house and i have to say to that it is one of the best staging we have seen personally including 3-D view and drone picture capture of the neighborhood. He is extremely professional, great communicator, provided regular photo updates and much more. Vinicius worked with us to arrive a best possible listing price to maximize the traffic for agents and buyers. We had 23+ offers for the house and many more than 300K above asking price. Vinicius worked with us going through the buyers offers, conditions, financial situation to ensure that we accept the best possible offer. We closed the house in 25 days had the entire process was simple with us meeting the notary just once for the entire transaction time. We highly recommend Vinicius to anyone looking to sell or buy a home, as he is simply excellent to do business.

We had seen “Open House, by Vinicius Brasil” signs around our neighborhood for many years. He obviously seemed to be a top realtor in the area. About a year before we were planning to sell, we first met Vinicius at an open house two doors down from our house. He had staged the home nicely and he presented himself with quiet confidence. We asked him if he could come over to look at our house to see what he thought needed work to get ours ready to sell. He had some good ideas and said he normally does these sorts of upgrades when he sells a home. 9 months later we called him to start the process. He was always willing to talk and he pretty much got the ball rolling on the ‘remodel’. He suggested new countertops and painting the cabinets in the kitchen. A fresh paint job inside and outside transformed the house into a real beauty. He fixed up the landscaping to improve the curb appeal factor. We joked about not selling because it looked so nice. Anyway, the house was on the market for only one week. The one weekend open house saw a huge turnout, over 60 groups looking. Vinicius really knows how to get the word out. We had multiple offers the next week and got top dollar. We are extremely pleased with our realtor selection! Vinicius Brasil seems pretty quiet when you first meet him, but he really works hard and knows how to sell houses. We highly recommend him. Buying or selling, he knows the Santa Clara real estate. You won’t be sorry.

Vinicius has been my agent on two separate transactions, buy and sell side, and he’s been fabulous. He’s easy to work with, goes the extra mile, and has contacts on every side of the home improvement/maintenance spectrum to make buying or selling a house extremely simple. He’s become a good friend, even sharing a cup or dozen of coffee 😉 to just chat and catch up. We would highly recommend him!

Vini was (and is) great. We sold a modest home in Santa Clara in late 2017 in a crazy market. My wife and I interviewed four realtors before choosing Vini. The choice was made based on 1) local knowledge, 2) ability to reach the widest market (including Indian & Asian), 3) probability to successfully turn outreach to interest, 4) marketing (some of the above and staging), 5) perceived ability to negotiate (clever ideas and tactics), and 6) personality. In Santa Clara there are a lot of great realtors and the competition was very stiff. We ended up choosing Vini because he was as good as others in all categories and better in local knowledge, marketing and negotiation. He did not disappoint. Extremely responsive and knowledgeable. While the market was a bit crazy, we think he obtained the best price possible in the shortest time. It sold for approximately 21% over asking (a reasonable asking price, given market conditions at the time) in ten days. Great experience, great realtor.

When we first met Vinnie, we were trying to figure out what to do. We recently retired and had already paid off our current home. Should we keep the house, rent it and move or sell? We met with Vinnie and a few other realtors. Vinnie showed up prepared, with market data on rentals, sales, etc. The others stopped by and offered casual conversation. Needless to say, Vinnie made the best first impression. After considering our situation and objectives, we decided to sell. Not only did Vinnie help us through all the steps in this process, he also helped us upgrade our kitchen. We had ideas for a relatively small renovation. We spoke with a number of contractors – at least those who responded – and came to the conclusion that nobody wanted to work with us on such a small project. Vinnie stepped in with contractors he works with frequently and helped us remodel within budget and on time. With the kitchen finished, Vinnie swung into action with his marketing campaign. He brought in stagers, created a beautiful portfolio of pictures, and carefully timed when our home appeared on the market. 10 days later, we sold at well over asking. It was a pleasure working with Vinnie and his team. We’re very happy we signed up with Vinnie and certain you will too!
