Melissa Gomez has been our property manager for over twenty years. She is an exemplary property manager -- responsible, dedicated, sincere, and works very hard to make sure everything runs smoothly. She works extremely well with others, and displays a charisma that empowers her to get things done. She has contacts with all sorts of people when there are things that have to get done inside the house (plumbers, electricians, painters, computer technicians, etc.). . She helped my son purchase his first home, and since I was closely involved in the process, I was able witness her magic at work. She took such good care of my son and his wife. They love their home and are thankful for Melissa's support! When we are finally ready to retire and sell our home, it will be Melissa who will see to it. We sold my parent's home in San Francisco last year, and once again, it was Melissa who guided and advised us as we went through the process. I highly recommend Melissa Gomez as the person to help you sell or purchase a home. I highly recommend her to manage your property. Melissa Gomez is a first class real estate agent. She is sincere, friendly, trustworthy, and very, very competent. read more

Melissa's knowledge of the Seal Beach real estate market and surrounding communities is extensive and her real estate expertise and personal contacts are just as impressive. We worked with Melissa over an extended period of time and were fortunate to have her expertise in navigating a challenging real estate market. She was everything we could ask for in an agent- professional, well-organized, filled with creativity and ideas, and thoroughly informed about each neighborhood and property.Melissa is an honest and skilled negotiator and always represented our best interests. She coordinated all aspects of our transaction, and was kind, patient and sensitive to the needs of our growing family. She takes the time to get to know her clients and is a pleasure to work with. We greatly value her opinion and wouldn't make a move without her. read more

Like most first time owners, we were nervous and cautious about buying our first house. We wanted a nice home in a great neighborhood -- not too small within our price range. We didn't have much wiggle room when it came to price and we could not afford to remodel a house. Because of this, we were worried about finding an agent that could ease our fears and meet "must haves" when it came to buying a home. Melissa not only walked us through each step with ease and patience, but she found us a home that was nicer than we thought we could afford and already remodeled in a beautiful local neighborhood. When trying to find real estate agents before we found Melissa, they seemed too busy to return phone calls and set up meetings. Melissa was never too busy for us, no matter the time of day. Highly recommended. read more

Melissa was a pleasure to work with, for two simple reasons. One, her expertise of both the real estate process and local real estate. Her knowledge of Seal Beach is unmatched. Second, and more importantly, she is an HONEST person. There is no better quality to have in a person (let alone a real estate agent). I must also mention that Melissa represented the buyer of my home and not me. I did a FSBO and had many bad experiences with different real estate agents throughout the sale of my home(to say the least). Melissa was a breath of fresh air, and the fact that she was not "my agent" did not make a difference. She was easy to work with, knowledgeable and always very accessible. I would highly recommend you meet with Melissa if you are considering selling or buying in Seal Beach. read more

Melissa Gomez has been our real estate agent for over ten years. We have our own single family dwelling and 4 rentals. She has been a major factor in making these ownerships smooth and well-run. She always answers phone calls promptly (very important to us) and will secure information that we need in a very timely manner. We are retired teachers and find Melissa "up" on all of the latest real estate technology. This is extremely helpful to us as we are slower to learn. She is patient and thorough in explaining information. Melissa displays great integrity in all our interactions with her. She has a cheerful disposition and always makes us feel important. I would highly recommend Melissa for all of your real estate needs. ~ Marcha and Allan Katz, Seal Beach, CA read more

We chose Melissa based on her sales record, but got way more than we expected. Melissa provided a realistic assesment of the house and told us what we needed to do to get it ready for sale. We followed her advice and received a full price offer the first weekend. She helped us create the best counter-offer and then guided us through the sale and closing process. She found and rectified open building permits to keep them from slowing down the close. She also helped us assess the buyers tactics in trying to drive the price down. As we were out of town throughout the sale process she took care of our local needs. In the end we sold the house for the asking price and closed within 2 months of listing it. Thank you Melissa. read more

Melissa and her husband Frank were incredibly dedicated and responsive. Since we were away while the property was on the market, they took it upon themselves to care for the house as if it was their own, without accepting any extra compensation. And we never felt any pressure to take a deal we weren't happy with. We've bought and sold lots of properties over the years, and have dealt with some very good realtors and some not so good. These guys were the best ever, and no one else close. We only used them for this one property only because it's the only one we've ever had in the area. Highly recommended without reservation read more

Frank and Melissa are the best! I needed a rental 4 years ago as I was going through my divorce. I needed something really fast and hoped it would be on the beach. In 2 days I was signing a contract. They treated me like a friend not a client. 3 years later I received a call from Frank to tell me about a listing he thought I might be interested in. We looked at the property and made an offer the same day. With there coaching the offer was accepted and I have lived in my new home for a year. Frank knew just what to show me and not waist my time. Thank you Frank and Melissa, you are the what Seal Beach is all about! read more

My wife and I worked with Melissa to buy our current home from January of 2013 until we finally purchased it in June of 2013. It was an extremely competitive market during this time, and I thought we were going to have to compromise on the location and/or the quality of home. It was hard work; we saw a lot of houses, and at times got discouraged. Melissa helped encourage us and kept us motivated, and as a result we ended up with the best home we could have hoped for. The right price, in the right location, and no hidden problems with the house. We couldn't be happier. read more

Within the 2 years Frank and Melissa have been our property managers, our properties have gone from dilapidated and shabby to lovely and rented. What a dynamo team. The vendors they utilize are top notch. Cannot say enough about the vast wealth of knowledge they have and wield. These are the folks to get the most out of your property. On the other hand, I know our tenants are being treated very well and are pleased too. Tally-ho and Onward We Go!!! Grateful!! read more

Frank Carvajal and his company are absolutely superb. I hired American Beachside to handle a difficult problem and Frank took care of it with great skill and diplomacy. Frank is unflappable and always available when you need him--either by phone or on-line. I have owned property in and around Seal Beach for 30 years and it's great to know you can call on someone like him to get the job right. A+ in every way. He is a great resource for the community. read more

I cannot say enough good things about American Beachside Brokers! Frank and his wife Melissa recently helped my daughter and I find a home in Seal Beach. They put so much effort into making sure the home was perfect for us to move in! We have wanted to live in Seal Beach for a long time and the wonderful people at American Beachside Brokers made that possible! Thank you Frank and Melissa, you are the best!! read more

We had a very positive experience dealing with American Beachside Brokers. Melissa was very professional, courteous and always prompt to respond. She was also very aggressive in promoting our rental. This was our second experience with Melissa and will continue to use her in the future. Sherry Janovick read more
