    Ask the Community - American Trust Escrow

    Our parents recently passed away and have properties in a trust. The probate process has completed. Can they assist with property title transfer to the trustees? Meaning out of the trust and to the family members? Thanks

    I had the great fortune of choosing Rodman Amiri to represent me in purchasing my home in Newport…read moreCoast. Rodman is a true professional. He leaves nothing to chance by handling every aspect of the transaction himself never delegating a thing. His attention to detail is remarkable. He read through every document that was sent to us even the lengthy HOA documents. He caught an error on title that no one else saw. He also worked diligently with insurance providers to get me insured in time despite our short escrow. As a high value property in a fire risk zone this was a remarkable feat as anyone familiar with California home insurance can attest to. Rodman takes great pride in his work and knows how to negotiate the best deal possible while keeping both parties on good terms. He knew how to address each party's concerns in a calm manner that was reassuring to everyone involved. Attached is a photo of myself on the left and the seller on the right on closing day. As you can see, we both walked away from the deal very happy and I credit that 100% to Rodman's exceptional professionalism. I look forward to working with Rodman again when the time comes. Thanks for everything Rodman! You're the best!

The whole process was a challenging one (not brought on by anything we could have controlled). Oscar stood by me, communicating each step along the way. He tolerated my anxieties that crept up, and did what he had to do to get the transaction done--always keeping my interests in mind. I would like to thank him for being a hardworking, honest buyer's agent and helping me buy a home that I am very excited about. If it weren't for Oscar, I never would have known about the property, as I wasn't even considering Manhattan Beach as an option. Funny how life works!

So when it came time to sell my father's apartment building in Glendale, there was no question I was going to list with him. Chase is extremely professional and in tune with the multi-family market. He prepared a comprehensive pricing proposal for our building and was spot on to where it would ultimately sell. We received 4 or 5 offers and the offer we selected was well above the rest. Needless to say, I was very pleased with Chase's performance and would highly recommend him and his team at Re/Max One Commercial.

    I can't say enough great things about working with Chase and entire team…read more I refer all of my commercial real estate deals to him, and every single time he delivers above and beyond. He's sharp, insanely knowledgeable, and has that rare ability to spot both opportunities and red flags long before anyone else does. What I appreciate most is his consistency -- he answers the phone, follows through on every detail, and treats every deal like it's a multi-million-dollar transaction. My clients always end up thanking me for sending them his way, which says everything about the level of professionalism and care he brings. If you want someone who is honest, strategic, and truly exceptional at navigating the commercial landscape, look no further. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my commercial referrals. Absolute rock star. Also, he's a good surfer and sailer too so that's a plus!

From the open house viewing to opening escrow, the process took less than a week! He booked our inspections within a few days and made sure that everything ran on schedule. Derek was always on top of it and had amazing communication. He sent us updates regularly, offered his advice when we had questions, and helped keep our minds at ease. As first time homeowners, we needed everything explained to us in layman's terms and Derek delivered. We are so grateful to Derek and the Hirano Homes team for helping us purchase our first home!

From…read morereaching out with our initial homebuying interest to having our offer accepted, Derek guided us every step of the way. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were not familiar with all of the steps and processes we needed to consider, and Derek's ability to break things down for us made a world of a difference to ease our minds. The standout feature of working with Derek is how much he cares and communicates. We always felt supported and able to ask any questions that came up, and Derek's experience helped us make informed decisions every step of the way. As we went through the full process including working with our lenders, inspectors, and contractors, I was impressed with the relationships that Derek has built with each vendor. We walked away from each interaction being better informed and supported to take any next steps, and this is all due to Derek's strong relationships with reliable and trustworthy connections. If Derek has a certain vendor in mind, you can rest assured knowing they are a reputable and recommended. Derek and his team were amazing to work with. They advocated for us and were available for questions while proactively reaching out with updates keeping us well-informed from beginning to end. Throughout the whole time of what would normally be an extremely stressful process, my wife and I knew we were being taken care of and that Derek had our best interests in mind. I cannot recommend working with Derek and the Hirano Homes team highly enough! We will refer future friends and family to Derek and his team for any homebuying/selling needs.

The property had been owned and managed by our family for over 50 years, so this was not a simple decision. It required coordination with our attorney, family members and careful handling of the long term asset. What stood out was that Matt did not approach this as someone trying to create a transaction just to make a sale. In fact, he initially recommended that we not sell after reviewing our ownership goals. His focus was on what was truly best for our family...not simply completing a sale. When we ultimately decided to move forward, Matt executed an off-market strategy, personally investing the time to make calls and tap into deep local south bay connections to identify the right buyer. His knowledge of multi family properties and the local market was evident throughout the process. Being in the real estate business myself, I understand how difficult it is to find good representation. We felt well represented , fully supported and confident in the guidance we received from start to finish. I highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking experienced, strategic representation inthe sale of a multifamily apartment buiding,especially when navigting long held family assets.
