The first is to make a better future for our clients and their families. The second is treat our agents like gold and make sure they have the support they need to succeed. It might seem like two simple tenets, but at Legacy we believe in people and we measure the success of real estate transactions in human terms. It’s why agents and clients come to us and stay with us. It’s what enables us to work with high-quality organizations that benefit our agents and clients in new ways. And it’s why we’re able to leverage our experience and local market knowledge in residential real estate for a significant impact in our community. We were established by a group of independent-minded Realtors with extensive and in-depth knowledge of Northern California residential real estate sales and marketing. Our local ownership and management structure enables our sales professionals to focus on client services and direct resources where they belong, and allows us to be more flexible in terms of adjusting to consumer wants and needs.
The Legacy
Legacy Real Estate & Associates began in 1971 with a man and his vision. Bill Aboumrad, Sr. started Good Real Estate in Fremont, a company that was bound by ethical standards, took a creative approach to problem solving and where each associate had a genuine desire to be kind and gracious. Today, the legacy continues with his son, Bill Aboumrad, Jr. who, as the president, holds the same vision for the company. As a result the company has attracted and retained some of the best and most experienced agents in the industry. “My dad set a solid foundation for me to continue in his legacy, and that’s what the Legacy Real Estate & Associates name and tree is all about. The tree is a symbol of strength, of a foundation with the branches representing my dad on one side, and me on the other. Our company is solidly rooted thanks to the legacy of my dad.”

Testimonials
"
"I recently worked with Connie to sell our home in the Val Vista neighborhood and she is an amazing person to have on your team. She's knowledgeable about the neighborhood and has years of experience to best advise you on how to navigate selling your home. She's also worked with a lot of contractors and is able to help you with affordable upgrades or guide you on what renovations would offer the best return on investment. I'd certainly reach out to her before renovating your home for sale and would definitely work with her again. She also got us an incredible price for our home and she makes herself available on the weekends and after hours to accommodate your busy schedule. I couldn't believe how easy it was to communicate with her throughout every step of the process and how on top of things she was, even on weekends."

Connie was the realtor that sold us our current home in the Valley Trails neighborhood of Pleasanton. She was firm, tough, and obviously knew her stuff as the selling agent. We love our home, so when it came time, in an extremely competitive market, for my mom to move to the area Connie was the first and only person that we wanted to consult. Luckily, she fit us into her schedule on short notice, and proceeded to help us find a lovely home in Livermore for my Mom and her husband, Jim. Mom and Jim are picky and ask lots of questions, but Connie answered each one and took them out on several tours over the next weeks, weekends and even some mid-week trips. When it was time to write their offer, Connie’s advice was spot on, and they got their new home, while avoiding a length bidding war! Now my kids can visit their Grandparents any time they want. We have my Mom’s new home and our home because of Connie’s expertise and patience. She even brings my kids treats from time to time when she stops by to check-in, and she does not have to do that as the selling agent of our Pleasanton home. She is just that type of person. Connie has stayed in constant contact with updates about our neighborhood and follows up with my mom more often than other relators would, in my opinion. She has even made several stops by my Mom’s home in Livermore to make sure the transition was going smoothly. Connie will continue to be a trusted ally in the Tri-Valley when it comes to all things Real Estate. Thank you, Connie!

"I can't say enough good things about Connie. She sold our house of 34 years with sensitivity to our concerns and desires. She has all the resources and contacts needed to make your house stand out and take center stage in your area, and she is ALWAYS available and extremely knowledgeable. I can't imagine using any other realtor to buy or sell a home in the tri valley area."

"Connie Cox did an excellent job of finding a house for my wife and me to buy, and did well at arranging the details of the purchase. She understood, and worked within, our financial limits. She did the work, which is probably tedious, of showing us many houses, over a period of several weekends, and listened to us complain about the faults of many of them, gradually learning what we really wanted. Connie then helped us by advising us what price to offer for the house that we selected, and by arranging inspections, and by helping the escrow company to ensure that the necessary documents were ready when they should be. She was professional, and never complained to us. In other words, she did what a real estate broker ought to do, and did it well."

Connie went above and beyond to sell my home during the coronavirus lockdown. She treated it like her home and let no obstacle stand in the way of getting the necessary prep work done, getting the home listed, and helping buyers and buyers agents feel comfortable. At the end, we got a good price and the right buyer. Did I mention she did all of this with us out of the country ? Even with a seven hour time difference, her communication was second to none. Highly, highly recommended.

"I highly recommend Connie Cox. She has helped us sell two houses and buy one. Every transaction went very well because she has the experience and contacts to anticipate and troubleshoot the issues. I especially like how she considers the net value of the transaction. If you are selling or buying I recommend you talk with Connie Cox."

"Connie helped me navigate my first home purchase, after I was widowed. Twelve years later, she sold my house, and ushered me into my next dream home. Connie is a true real estate professional, thorough, knowledgeable, wonderful to work with. The entire sale process becomes seamless; Connie gets the job done!"

We sold our home in 2005, I am writing this review now because we are now selling our home in WA and contacted Connie for her advice since we had a successful sale in 2005. Connie was very knowledgeable about the homes in our neighborhood and also invested in homes in that neighborhood, so she was highly motivated to keep home values up. The home was built in the 60s and needed a lot of work, and Connie encouraged us to make the changes needed to get the top sales price for the area for several years. Connie is an excellent communicator with incredible attention to all of the details the property required. Our home sold for 40K over list, with two buyers willing to pay that. I wish Connie worked in the state of WA!

Connie has been an active, involved resident of the Tri-Valley for years, and so is very knowledgeable about neighborhoods, developers, builders, processes, lenders, City Governments, schools, etc. She was always available to answer our questions, show us properties, and connected us to a multiple listing service. We found a new home in a relatively short period of time that met all of our requirements. Connie was there every step of the way to ensure our purchase was accomplished as smoothly as possible, and it was!! We are thrilled with our new home.

"Connie helped us with our sale of a house in Pleasanton. She made one statement that convinced me she was the right realtor for us. That is, when I asked her how much the house would sell for, her answer was, "The market will determine the price." There isn't a better answer than this, as it is reality and markets have a way of humbling our opinions. There are a lot of 'ifs' in a real estate transaction and Connie was great about keeping up on of all of them and it was a big help. I think she did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to pass her onto to my friends, relatives and colleagues"

The purchase of our new home wouldn't have been possible without Connie's expertise! She helped us navigate with ease using her vast experience in real estate transactions, Bay Area market knowledge and negotiating skills. We were pleased right from the beginning when she spent countless hours understanding our requirements and created a targeted strategy. Throughout the process she was flexible with our requests, always a phone call away and showed patience with our questions. We really felt like one-team as she exhibited genuine care for us and ensured we got the best deal. I would highly recommend her services!

"I met Connie over 3 decades ago while I was trying to get into my house in Valley Trails. Over the years I've witnessed so much Connie has done to help the Valley Trails community...way more than your normal realtor...she single handedly helped improve our neighborhood. Connie voiced the needs of our community to the people who could make a difference...she really drove a lot of the good improvements we all enjoy as homeowners. So when I finally needed a caring, efficient realtor to sell my home, Connie always had my back and she had a great team of sub contractors to get my home tuned up to sell. Connie is my best choice. From tune up, to listing to 2 open houses...all resulting in multiple offers (all above the listing price) all this happened within 2.5 weeks. I highly recommend Connie for anyone whoever is looking for a realtor in the Tri-Valley area."

I would just love to let every one know how wonderful Connie was. She has many years of knowledge in selling homes. Her ability to work with all sorts of people was amazing. There were so many times that she explained, worked late, dropped things of to my door, and just did anything she could to think out of the box during our covid shut down... I would recommend her at anytime to sell your home... Thank you Connie

"One of the most ethical realtors we know and she tells you when something might be misconstrued. Her knowledge of the vicinity is wonderful but that doesn't scare her away from areas that are farther away. Connie is committed to her clients and worked unbelievably hard for us. Thank you Connie and if we ever sell this house, you will be the one we call and to get the next one. We love our new house!"

"Connie Cox is a one-stop real estate agent-broker, with customer service, that you only dream about. She had sold me my first home, as a newly single woman, back in 2000; and she recently assisted me, in acquiring my "forever home;" I just love it! She is ATTENTIVE and intuitive about yr needs. Her integrity is unquestioned. As a 30 yr agent-broker/resident of the east bay, she's an expert about the area; especially comforting, if you're a newbie to No CA. Connie also is well connected, regarding handymen & the like; she is a useful contact, for such needs. With Connie, you need look no further, whether, buying or selling your home; I have used her for both."

"Beyond a typical Realtor ! That’s Connie! She is experienced, knowledgeable, skilled and successful with selling or buying any type of property. I don’t buy or sell without her! She has conducted all my transactions (many) professionally and timely. She is well networked to ensure your repair needs are resolved. I never have to worry about the progress of my transactions as she actively involved to move it forward to closing!"

"We are honored to have Connie Cox represent our company as a Realtor. I have known Connie for many years and have always admired her business practices. It is no accident that she is our top producing agent and sells more homes than any other Realtors in the [Valley Trails] neighborhood. She is the expert in that area selling homes there successfully for over 20 years! Connie is a true professional and always gives 110% of her time and effort to sell and close transactions."

- Larry Spiteri, Manager Broker

"I certainly do recommend Connie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a residence. Connie knows what she is doing and does it well. She is not just your real estate agent but your partner and friend who is always looking out for your best. Before selling my house I did not appreciate how much work it is. Connie is great at quickly finding you the necessary resources to address any issues a buyer or seller may have. She honestly cares about her clients so the more you share with her the more she can help you. I've lived in Valley Trails for 32 years and have gotten to know Connie for all of her proactive efforts to protect and improve our neighborhood out of the goodness of her heart. Connie is not paid for these activities but takes them on to see that Valley Trails residence interests are not negatively impacted. I knew years ago that when I was to sell my house I was going to have Connie as my real estate agent. And I am extremely happy I have."

"Connie's expertise and knowledge of the area helped tremendously during our move from another city. She was patient and reassuring through the entire process. We feel fortunate to have found Connie when we did - she helped us get the perfect house for our family!"

- Angela Tarricone, Buyer

"Connie helped us sell a rental property, negotiate a tricky 1031 exchange transaction and purchase another rental property. She did all this with professionalism, expertise and ridiculous attention to detail. it was very stressful and we never would have been able to complete this transaction as prescribed by law without her. In the end, the outcome was textbook perfect. I would not use anyone else for ANY real estate transaction."

"Connie Cox helped our family buy our very first home 11 years ago. We met her through a different open house and connected so well, we became instant friends and took her on as our realtor. Over the past 11 years we have become more like family, the kids love her. This past June we randomly saw this house for sell, and immediately called Connie. We saw the home Tuesday, made an offer Wednesday and got our house ready to show and on the Market by Sunday. Connie is amazing at her job! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. She listens to what's important to you. Buying and selling is stressful and you need a good person on your side, I would choose Connie Cox every time!"

Connie worked on an expedited purchase for my elderly mother under very stressful circumstances. I don't have the words to thank Connie how well she managed the whole process while trying to coordinate with my mother who was less than organized during it all. Realtors like Connie are the gems of the industry. I will forever be in her debt.
