Prior to becoming a real estate agent, I spent over 20 years in the legal field, where I developed a strong foundation in contract negotiation and navigation. This experience allows me to focus on what truly matters—understanding my clients’ unique needs and devising the best strategies to achieve their real estate goals, whether buying or selling.
To me, a home is far more than just a property—it’s a place of comfort, love, and life’s most cherished moments. This deep appreciation for what a home represents fuels my work with passion and enthusiasm. My goal is to ensure my clients feel confident, supported, and delighted with their results.
Making dreams come true is one of the most magical feelings in real estate, and for Soraya Golesorkhi, her mission is to turn those dreams into reality. Primarily serving Orinda and the surrounding area, Soraya has many years of experience connecting clients to their dream homes–coupled with a lifetime of area expertise in the East Bay Area. She is passionate about the area, particularly its safety, cleanliness, and plentiful walking and hiking trails.
Born in Lima, Peru, Soraya grew up in Massachusetts and Rhode Island before eventually moving out to California. A long time resident of the Bay Area Soraya and her family have lived in the beautiful East Bay since 1984. Her real estate career began in 2006 when she obtained her real estate license and began working in new home sales for a small builder. She made the transition to Coldwell Banker in 2007 and is a thriving agent in the East Bay.

For Soraya, one of her favorite aspects of being a Realtor® is helping her clients achieve their real estate goals. Whether they are first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, or sellers, she prides herself in helping her clients. Soraya deems herself as the fairy godmother of sales, taking her clients’ wish lists and manifesting their desires into their dream homes. Even when it takes a little bit of vision, Soraya guides her clients through every step of the real estate process. In fact, many of Soraya’s clients turn into lifelong friends, even after the sale is over. With such extensive experience in selling new homes, Soraya works diligently to help her clients find their dream homes. While Soraya works with buyers, sellers, and investors from all walks of life, her areas of specialty are working with clients in Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Alamo, and other areas of the East Bay.
