It was her dad’s dream to provide a better life and the American dream to his family. Leticia became a US Citizen after obtaining her BS Degree in Accounting in 1981 from USC.
Leticia is passionate about helping others, when she became aware of the amazing work her colleagues at B Walker Ranch had been doing to support children and young adults with autism, she felt motivated to help. Similarly with Rotary of Concord, when she began to meet many community leaders who were involved with Rotary, it was easy to see that it was a good fit for the “service above self” philosophy embodied by this amazing organization. Leticia was invited and joined the club in 2013, immediately she felt at home with the spirit of fellowship and service that the members shared with each other. Leticia gives a portion of her income after each sale, in addition to volunteering my time and energy, to further the work and awareness of B Walker Ranch and Rotary Club of Concord.

It’s been a pleasure working with Leticia. She is very dedicated and knowledgeable in her field. A 5-star Realtor indeed! You would never go wrong choosing her as your Realtor. Thank you, Leticia!
Leticia was most competent, fast and did an amazing job. We would highly recommend her. We were able to achieve a sales price well over asking.
Our experience with Leticia Almaro and her team were nothing less than excellent. From the beginning, our situation was complicated by many factors but Leticia stepped in, worked constantly with us, and the result was extraordinary care, consideration and service that brought us a great result in selling our longtime home and property. I highly recommend Leticia and her team, both on a personal and a business level. Anyone would be fortunate to work with her on selling their home!
I have only worked with Leticia for a short time now but the professionalism dedication exhibited by her and her team is unparalleled. I would not hesitate to refer her to my friends and family. Five stars across the board!
We recently bought the home of our dreams thanks to Leticia!. She was honest, professional and a very kind soul to work with. Leticia’s communication skills made our purchase very effortless. We are looking forward to doing more business in the future with Leticia and her team.
Leticia is my go to Realtor for many years now. And honestly a person I can truly trust to take care my real estate needs. She has helped my Mom for many years rent and then sell our childhood home which was held so close to us and was hard to let go, but she was able to find a good Buyer to take over and care the home. A couple years later, I needed her assistance and reached out to her as my significant other and I were ready to move into a home together and she was able to diligently choose homes that matched our criteria every time we went out for a showing. Eventually, we got a 1 acre home with all the main criteria in which we were looking for. In this tough market, we couldn’t image on getting it if it wasn’t for her great negotiation skills with the Seller. The whole process went smooth and we had no stress about anything. Overall she is reliable, a great negotiator and professional. We are warmheartedly so grateful that we found our dream home and we couldn’t be happier with the way everything worked out. SO THANK YOU!! From Crystal and Jaime.
We have used Leticia to sell 2 homes in the Bay Area. Both experiences were exceptional from recommendations for staging to final transaction. She is experienced, personable and a great communicator. I highly recommend Leticia and her team.
I was very pleased with Leticia, buying my second home with her on my side made me feel very confident and comfortable. She made sure aspects of the sale were being looked at and addressed properly and kept in communication with me the entire time. Thanks Again Leticia and Her Team.
It is with pleasure that my wife and I highly recommend The Almaro Team for your real estate needs! Leticia Almaro-Nicolini expertly represented us when we bought our San Francisco condominium. We faced a red hot market that included multiple cash offers over the asking price for the condo we wanted to buy. Leticia offered us great advice on how much to offer. She also recommended I write a letter to the owners mentioning that I was battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It worked! The sellers accepted our lower offer financed with a loan! Leticia’s advice to write a letter prevailing on the seller’s consideration of our struggles with ALS demonstrated her skill in negotiation. If you are selling or buying, you should engage the real estate expertise of The Almaro Team! Chris & Elizabeth Mavraedis San Francisco.
I’ve known Letty for many years and continue to be impressed with her connection with her clients. She listens to their needs and really takes a personal interest/commitment in making sure they get what they want. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a real estate agent who will represent them and make sure they get the best possible deal.
We really enjoyed working with Leticia. She is a professional, honest and open communicator. Leticia was very attentive to our needs for buying a home and went above and beyond to meet them.
The selling is much smoother than I expected. Seems to me the whole team working
around the clock whenever they can so the selling is completed swiftly.
We were away house hunting and came back to find 5 offers and all we had to do was accept the one at $40,000 over asking. I had never made $40,000 that fast! Thank you to the whole team.
Leticia and Julene have been very helpful and patient with me as I try to navigate this difficult market. They are proactive with sharing and following up on listings that meet my criteria. The whole team makes me feel valued as a client.
Leticia made sure to walk my husband and I through every step of the way of us
becoming new homeowners for the 1st time. She responded quickly, gave great
advice, and understood the market thoroughly. We are so thankful to have worked
with Leticia.
Leticia is amazing. She goes far and above to make your dream of owning a house come true. I am forever thankful. Margarita
