Testimonials

We’ve never been big on touting our services, so we’ll let our past clients do it for us!
Ali and Dan, San Carlos, CA
The best team in San Mateo Real Estate! Raymond, Chela, Rebecca, and Chris took very good care of us from beginning to end (we will gladly do business with them in the future again). From Raymond’s Home Buying Class where we learned the important basics, the fun house hunt adventures in San Mateo County that even stretched to Santa Clara, the very informative daily emails they sent from the MLS on new homes available, the excellent advice, education, and experience they shared with us, and finally leading us to a perfect condo in San Carlos which was right under our noses and they celebrated with us by uncorking champagne for us!, the RayChel team’s dedication and service is out of this world! You will not find a team, and most importantly a family, who will treat you like their own!

Knowledgeable, Trustworthy, Caring and Diligent.
High Level of Service & Outstanding Level of Followthrough
A friend of mine highly recommended RayChel Reality Group and it was perfect timing since we were replacing our first agent. My husband and I decided to give them a try and were not disappointed! Generally, most people work with one agent, but with RayChel you work with 3 – consistently. Even better, you work with a family of 3 Raymond, Chela and their daughter Rebecca.
This was our first time buying a home, so we didn’t know what to expect. RayChel started with a 1.5 hr consultation where we learned about each other. It was this consultation where My husband and I decided to work with RayChel. Our first impressions were, they are knowledgeable, trustworthy and caring. We liked that they took the time to get to know us. This was very important.
Throughout, Raymond helped educate us on the process and next steps. As we viewed each house, we talked about it as investment and the potential for resale.
Rebecca and or Chela previewed each and every house before showing us. If they saw something they thought we wouldn’t like they would ask us and we would politely decline viewing the house for ourselves. This saved us a lot of time and we appreciated it.
We used their website and email to communicate the houses we wanted to see. Using the website as a tool was great because it gave us min by min updates, however it could be a little more intuitive.
Generally, someone from RayChel would pick us up and take us to each house. My husband and I liked this part of the process, because it gave us more time to communicate and get to know each other.
We ended up buying a house in San Mateo and we couldn’t have done it without RayChel. Their diligence, follow through and level of service was impeccable. We will continue using them for future purchases and will recommend them to our friends!
Thank you Raymond, Chela & Rebecca!!
Rich and Julie, San Carlos, CA
We strongly recommend RayChel Realty for residential real estate on the peninsula. Raymond and Chela Stoklosa are experienced, professional, and personable, and we genuinely enjoyed working with them!
We first met Raymond in a real estate seminar in 2002 in San Carlos, and hired him to help us purchase our condo in 2004 in Mountain View. Four years later, we hired him again to help us sell the Mt. View condo and purchase our house in San Carlos, and he did an excellent job on all three transactions!
Raymond’s patience and knowledge are unique, and he has 30+ years experience on the peninsula. For us, there were never any “dumb” questions and he always had answers and useful insights, as he helped us navigate stressful and confusing situations with ease. Plus he referred us to some really great professionals–our mortgage broker, title company, home inspector, etc.
We were fortunate to work with Raymond and Chela, and we highly recommend RayChel Realty to anyone on the peninsula buying or selling residential property.
Laurie & Mark, Foster City, CA
Raymond Stoklosa’s professionalism and hard work brought us peace of mind throughout the home-buying process. Anyone hoping to buy real estate on the Peninsula needs an experienced advocate, and we could not have asked for anyone better than Raymond.
Julie & Marcel, Belmont, CA
He helped us find the perfect house for our needs and guided us through the inspection and financing processes. We learned a lot from Raymond about real estate above and beyond our home search. We highly recommend Raymond to our friends and hope to work with him again in the future.
Mark, San Jose, CA
Raymond took the time to understand what our level of comfort was financially; what type of home we needed & wanted; the neighborhoods we liked and the future value of our investment. His attention to detail on every home we visited was incredible. We won the bid on the house even though we didn’t have the highest offer. We later found out that Raymond’s organization and thoroughness of the paperwork gave the seller the confidence in our ability to close on the home despite our lower offer.
Alexander, San Carlos, CA
Raymond assisted us with the purchase of our two last homes. When it comes to real estate transactions, you need to trust the person representing you. Raymond not only won our trust, he also connected us to the right people for our financing needs.
Joanne, Redwood Shores, CA
I fondly recall nervously buying my first home ever — I thought it was nearly impossible for a single woman to buy a home in the Bay Area, but with your help, I did it!
Anne & Peter, San Carlos, CA
Raymond skillfully and patiently guided us through all the complex steps involved in a real estate transaction. He was an effective advocate and made us feel that our desires and needs were always his first priority. With his expert assistance and knowledge of Peninsula real estate, we were able to purchase the perfect home at the perfect price. To anyone considering a real estate purchase, be it their first or their hundredth, we have only this to say: you cannot do better than to place your trust in Raymond Stoklosa.
David & Renée, San Mateo, CA
We are new homeowners thanks to Raymond. Our first-time home shopping experience was a challenging yet positive one because Raymond Stoklosa was our agent…we had a really great experience.
Remo & Kate, Woodside, CA
