"Ilona was a critical part of our home buying journey, and I will absolutely share her contact with any friends and family members looking to purchase in the East Bay. My husband and I were first time home buyers and went on a multi-month journey guided by the patient, highly responsive Ilona Campbell. She was there at a moment's notice to answer questions, visit a home, and provide us with feedback, comps, and analyses the entire time we worked with her. Most importantly, she's just a great person! If you're looking to buy in the East Bay — connect with Ilona!"
"Ilona is great. She went beyond what I thought a realtor would do to help me sell my grandmother's home. She then was patient, responsive, and insightful when it came to helping find a property to purchase. I could probably write a whole essay about how great she is. Would definitely recommend."
"Ilona is a rock star! My husband and I never really actually thought we would own a home, but we saw a beautiful house we wanted to tour, and reached out to Ilona on what felt like a complete whim. From the moment we were connected, Ilona was SO helpful. She transformed what seemed like a daunting and out-of-reach process into bite-sized steps that felt doable — and throughout the process Ilona was always quickly responsive, always positive. Ilona's belief in us was infectious!"
"Ilona did a fantastic job of shepherding us through the experience of buying our first home. She is highly responsive, very flexible, and extremely helpful in answering questions or tracking down loose ends. She connected us with other vendors in the journey (ie escrow company) and helped us get up to speed on any details we were unsure of. If you're a first time home buyer, or a real estate connoisseur, Ilona can help you accomplish your home buying goals."
"As first-time home buyers, my spouse and I started this journey feeling uncertain and with only a vague idea of our needs. Thankfully, we had Ilona as our real estate agent, and she made the entire process not just manageable but enjoyable! Ilona's extensive knowledge and first-hand expertise as a landlord were invaluable as we explored both duplexes and single-family homes. She was proactive, never hesitating to call listing agents to gather additional information."
"Ilona made it possible for us to sell our condo while we were living across the country! She made great recommendations on small upgrades we could make before going to market. She and the rest of the Cush team project managed our pre-listing renovations well."
"Ilona is so responsive and gentle. She is confident yet calm during your entire home buying process. You will truly be in good hands with Ilona! I want to buy another property just to be able to work with her again!"
"I feel very lucky to have met Ilona and secure her as my agent! She was patient with me — describing the process of purchasing my new home every step of the way. Ilona was always available for my questions and did a great job of continually sending me condos that were in my price range. She streamlined the complex process and worked well with my lender so that I was in my dream home within 3 weeks. She loves what she does and it shows."
"Ilona is amazing. I honestly don't know how to summarize all of the great things I have to say about her. For two years, I had unsuccessfully been working with a different realtor and had practically given up on buying a home. Then, I spontaneously met Ilona at an open house. I quickly discovered how much more care and time she dedicates to her clients than my previous realtor did, and with such positive energy."
"Ilona was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout my homebuying process. She was always willing to go the extra mile and meet us whenever we were available to look at houses."
"Ilona was responsive and helpful. Listened to our needs and thoughts. She was a good communicator which made the process smooth. We were new to the area, so we wanted to learn more about the neighborhoods — she was helpful in giving us guidance and resources."
"Ilona will go on the hunt to find you a home that fits your criteria. Along with her assistant, she has no cookie-cutter manner with clients. She warmly opens up a client's perspective to other ideas or alternatives. Her friendly, fun, and truly down-to-earth disposition has made looking for homes a more joyful experience."
