About Ciena

You shouldn’t have to settle for any home and you shouldn’t have to settle for any realtor. When you hire Ciena, you’re getting a dedicated agent who will always ensure that his clients receive an immediate response and specialized service at every hour, day or night. Real estate is all about experience and that is what Ciena delivers.

Ciena was born in Oakland and spent most of his life throughout the Bay Area. As a dedicated realtor, Ciena keeps his eyes on the market and his fingers to the pulse of the Bay Area to ensure that his clients never miss an opportunity to find the perfect home or maximize their investment.

Ciena has a deep passion for real estate. He studies and understands the nuances of the fast-moving Bay Area market. The Bay Area is changing quickly and having a team that's up to speed and in your corner is critical. Real estate is not just about the market or the prices, it's also about your network, persistence, and having the drive to get the job done for your client. This is what Ciena is all about; giving his clients every opportunity before and after the deal is made.

Ciena has worked on renovations with his father since he was a young man. He continues to hone these skills with his investors and clients who demand this type of knowledge from their realtor. Ciena has a great eye for identifying strong investment opportunities and passes on these insights to his clients.

The one hour Ciena does get to himself, he spends familiarizing himself more with the Bay Area. Ciena regularly runs around Oakland’s iconic Lake Merritt and frequents San Francisco’s landmarks and restaurants. He also has a love for cars and is particularly passionate about Porsches. Ciena is always humbled to be a part of his client’s journey to homeownership. Helping his clients with all their questions, helping them navigate through their many lending options, and eventually helping his client find that perfect home or investment is what excites Ciena the most about being in real estate.

"06/03/2016 Quite possibly the only honest and transparent agent in the Bay Area. We went through many agents and felt hopeless before finding Ciena. He has a great personality and never failed to make himself available. We are super picky buyers and after a long search we are in a great home. Even after we moved in, Ciena helped us arrange to resolve some hiccups with the home. Would highly recommend! Ciena, please stay exactly how you are and don't let the profession change you. Thank you!!!!"
