About Tess Gallo
Advice for New Home Buyers
Buying a house is one of the biggest financial transactions you will ever make, so it is important to be prepared, especially if it’s your first time buying. It is a good idea to get your Mortgage approval completed first so that you know how much of a home you can afford.
Caring Professional
“Tess was very knowledgeable and professional in providing me with various options to choose from. She kept me in the loop the entire process and made some slight adjustments with my special circumstances. Tess was very patient and prompt in answering all of my worries and questions. She is very personable to talk to, aside from the business matters we discussed. She was very caring towards my special circumstances and worked with me to meet all of my timelines. I would work with her again, knowing that she understands my needs and would offer options in my best interest.”
—Georgia Vicente from Santa Rosa, CA
