Review is based off of DPP representing the landlord. I'm relocating to the LA area and had a great…read morerealtor representing me. I fell in love with the home that agent A.H. had listed. The home had been listed for a little over 2 months and the price had been dropped after 1 month by $600. Went to view the property, loved the neighbor and applied, offering $400 below list price based on comps and the length of time listed. Received follow up that there were multiple offers at list price. (Why isn't it rented yet? I had my realtor ask. No response) I offered listing price. No response. A day or two later, received response that to stay competitive, I'd need to agree to a 2 year lease. BTW, also was informed parking in the garage was an extra $200/month, which was not listed on the MLS. I had already walked away mentally, after the initial offer and refused a 2 year lease agreement. This is a rental, not a purchase. I'm not going to have a bidding war for an apartment. I refused the 2 yr lease terms and walked away. A week has past and the place is still listed. As a landlord and homeowner, I feel sorry for the person listing this apartment. A.H. caused them to miss out on a highly qualified tenant. I'll keep watching to see how long until it's under contract.

In my 30 years as a real estate investor and manager, I've done over 20 real estate transactions…read more Philip at Man Realty was among the best (if not the absolute best) agent I've worked with. He's professional, efficient, and responsive. He also knew exactly the correct pricing for our Monterey Park condo. This is a subtle, under-appreciated art. I've had agents pitch me unrealistically high prices to try to get my business. But then the house gets weak responses and goes 'stale'. On the flip side if they price it too low, it encourages an excess of low bids. Philip's pricing was spot on. I could tell immediately from the response: several solid offers on the first weekend, with one 2.5% over the asking price. We took that offer and closed within 2 weeks. No contingencies, no fussy last-minute changes, and no unreasonable repair demands. Exceptional all around... highly recommended.

As a first time homebuyer, I was so extremely grateful to have Michelle Hsu as my realtor. First of…read moreall, she spent so much of her time trying to find houses that fit my particular criteria. I'm a picky guy, and not once did she give me the feeling that I was being a bother, or being too unrealistic with my demands. For almost a year, we searched for the perfect house, until we finally found one in La Habra that ticked (mostly) all the boxes. During the purchasing process, she used her excellent negotiation skills to get the seller to agree to an aggressive price reduction of about 3%. Furthermore, she was able to get the seller to agree to additional concessions during the inspection process. This was partly due to the fact that the home inspector she works with (Ralph) is extremely thorough and leaves no stone unturned. Because of this, she was able to turn some of the weaknesses we found with the house into bargaining chips. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was so detailed/invested in getting me the best deal/result that it made me feel almost as though she was purchasing my home for herself! As a first time homebuyer, I had a ton of questions but she always got back to me quickly and also came up with a lot of creative solutions/suggestions, highlighting her deep expertise and vast knowledge of the industry. I truly have no complaints - because of Michelle, the entire process went as smoothly as could be. After having her as my buying agent, I'll rest easy knowing that I can be confident in having the best agent on my side going into any future real estate transactions. With Michelle, you are in good hands!

I can't speak highly enough of Sara Collins as my real estate agent. Her professionalism,…read moreknowledge, honesty, integrity, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. Over the years we have used Sara to sell and purchase a handful of homes. Some of the properties she worked on with us were investment rental properties and she handled the communication between the tenants and us very well. I can also say the same about the process of buying and the communication between us and the buyers to get a smooth transaction with the best outcome. Our last purchase with Sara was our dream house! She spent the time going to open houses, finding out what our likes and needs were and making sure we found it. Now we get to raise our family in our dream house, and it is because of Sara. I think of how appreciative of Sara I am daily. She is one of the hardest working, detail oriented, motivate and kind people I know. She is very good with people, and has a knack for matching the buyer with the owner... Furthermore, what she predicted the sale to be like, was indeed what happened, and in a very short amount of time. Each and every time! She knows the business and I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle any of our buying or selling needs.

When we bought our first condo with another agent, Kim was the listing agent. We were so impressed with her then that my wife and I saved her info for when we would enter the home-buying process again. Fast forward 2 years later, and it was the time again. We reached out to Kim, and just from the questions she was asking us, we knew we were in good hands. From the process of putting our first home up for sale to backing out of an offer due to issues during inspection and then ultimately finding our dream home, Kim was amazing. She keeps you informed every step of the way, is always available for questions, and is a master negotiator during the entire process. She ensured we got the best offer possible on our old home and also helped us find our dream home that was beyond our expectations. She made one of the most stressful things in life feel much easier to handle, and this all being during the holiday season. For anyone looking to buy or sell your home, you won't find anyone better than Kim. Thank you again Kim and you're always welcome to have some lemons! Best, Conner and Valerie

My wife and I just closed on our new condo on 3/31 and we couldn't be happier -- not just with our home, but with the entire experience. We worked with Bryan and Christina for about a year, searching for the perfect place for us (and our cat ). Things really picked up in early 2026, and through it all, they were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive -- no matter the time of day or night. As first-time buyers, we had a mountain of questions, worries, and anxieties, but Bryan and Christina genuinely held our hands every step of the way. From casually browsing homes to submitting our first offer, all the way through a fast-paced 21-day escrow -- they made every stage feel manageable. They also connected us with amazing partners, including Nick Nagy for our loan (highly recommend him too!) and a fantastic escrow officer. We'd read all the horror stories about how stressful escrow can be, but honestly? It was smooth, seamless, and stress-free thanks to their guidance. And the support didn't stop at closing. Bryan and Christina are still there for us, answering questions whenever they pop up. That kind of dedication is rare and truly means the world to us. If you want agents who genuinely care and will be with you every single step of the way -- you won't regret choosing Bryan and Christina. 10/10, without hesitation.

He also worked directly with our property manager to handle clarifications and details, which made the process much smoother and saved us a lot of time. During negotiations, Wes handled discussions with the buyer and buyer's agent skillfully, finding practical solutions to reduce contingencies and keep the sale on track.
