nicole@solariteam.com

Broker Nicole Solari has been obsessed with real estate ever since she can remember, and in 2013, she left a successful career in tech to pursue her passion full-time. Technical savvy, insatiable drive, and devotion to exceptional client service quickly put her among the top-producing agents in Solano and Napa Counties. But when it became clear that her unique brand of client-centered service required a different business model than the production-driven, big brand agencies, she launched The Solari Group. A Georgia native and graduate of the University of Georgia, Nicole brings her natural Southern charm to managing a growing roster of agents. With offices in Napa and Fairfield, the Solari Group is now one of the premier agencies in Solano and Napa counties. Clients say that Nicole is a dedicated, attentive, highly-skilled negotiator that has their best interests at heart and the knowledge and connections to make their housing dreams come true. Nicole holds GRI, CRS, SRS, SPRES, and NARPM certifications and is on the Women’s Council of REALTORS®. Her management companies, Keyrenter Solano and Keyrenter Napa, and her design firm, Napa Valley Modern Staging and Design, are invaluable resources for her clients. As a member of the Napa Chamber of Commerce, Nicole is always learning more about her community. Her time outside of work is devoted to her family-including her rescue dog Aubie. She also enjoys running and good food.

Mario Moreno

Realtor ®

415-533-4140
DRE# 02052784
mario@solariteam.com

Mario Moreno started his career in real estate as a loan officer in 2003. He became well-versed in the industry and helped many clients purchase homes until the financial collapse of 2008, when he was forced out by economic necessity. He then joined his brother in the transportation business, eventually managing a fleet of over 40 vehicles and drivers. In 2011, he founded a transportation corporation and worked in collaboration with FedEx Ground. Mario had always enjoyed the real estate industry, so when the market began to recover in 2013, he started buying, fixing, and selling houses. In the process, he learned about legal procedures, marketability, construction costs, how to determine a home’s real value, and about the many other aspects involved in flipping properties. Opportunities grew, and in 2015 he founded Moreno Properties. Mario worked diligently and found that many houses were in excellent condition and priced reasonably but were not suitable for flipping. He realized that selling these properties as a real estate agent would be more effective and joined The Solari Group, a firm with great marketing and advertising strategies, in 2018. Mario’s extensive real estate knowledge, his experience in both buying and selling homes and investment properties, his passion for the industry, along with the support of a solid team make him a prime negotiator who always obtains the best value for the buyer and an equitable stress-free sale for the seller.

Adriana Ponce

REALTOR ®

925-705-1165
DRE# 01909747
aranahomes@gmail.com

Real estate agent Adriana Arana works with the same solid principles she learned as a child: commit to what you believe in, never take “no” for an answer, and anything worth having is worth working hard for. Adriana is now bringing those same values to her career as a realtor with Level Up Realty, where she finds she’s completely in sync with the commitment to the client’s best interests that have become a hallmark of the Level Up team. Originally from Fairfield, CA and a 20-year resident of Solano County, Adriana has worked in real estate since 2009 and has extensive experience in subdivision processing, property management, and banking. She also holds a degree in Business Administration, which is no surprise considering that she got her first lessons in sales at age 12, working with her aunt selling hand-crafted porcelain home decorations, and has been a independent small business owner since she was 19. Adriana’s entrance into real estate came after her own negative experience with an agent convinced her to become a realtor as a way to put into action her passion for positively helping others. She strives to serve her clients and her community with integrity, hard work, and determination. Adriana firmly believes that life is too short to live with doubts and to not fulfill your maximum potential, and her long-term goal is to be able to look back on her life and know that she gave 100% and left nothing on the table. Outside of real estate, Adriana enjoys cooking, and spending time with her family.
