I happened to find John through a property listing and from our first conversation we were blown away. John is extremely respectful, responsive and thorough. He actually treated our home sale as if it were his own - with so much care and consideration. And to top it off he is not your average agent. His ability to review and recommend a selling strategy gave us the confidence to move forward. Not only did we receive multiple offers on the first listing day, but we received over asking. At no point did we feel alone in this process and he was there throughout every step. John is a pleasure to work with and have hired him to help us purchase our new property in a few months. John made our dreams come true and I can't say enough about his work ethic and expertise. Look no further and give John a call. You won't be disappointed!

Our condo sold for the highest in the neighborhood (with 4 offers in the first few days) and we got a steal of a price on the home we purchased. I feel like all of his advice was spot on. He always knew when a house wouldn't appraise and where we should price our home to get top dollar. My husband doesn't trust many people, so it was very important that we worked with an agent who really knew what he was doing, knew the neighborhood, and who we got along with easily. I loved that he already knew which communities had mello roos, and he didn't waste our time on properties that were not for us. He's not the fake salesman type, he learns your wants/needs and only gives you those options. He's very realistic and does not exaggerate. He was a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive to all our questions and requests. We also went with his broker which made everything so much easier, faster, better, and cheaper for us! We would definitely recommend him to our close family and friends. We do not plan on moving anytime soon, but will definitely use him again if we did. Thanks John!

We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Armando during our home purchase. We…read moreactually met him completely by chance at a random Zillow showing -- and honestly, that lucky encounter turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire home-buying journey. From the very beginning, Armando stood out for his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine dedication. He never made us feel pressured and truly took the time to understand what we were looking for, our priorities, and our long-term goals. What impressed us most was how responsive and proactive he was throughout the entire process -- always available to answer questions, explain details, and guide us through every step with patience and clarity. Buying a home can be stressful, but Armando made the experience smooth and manageable. His negotiation skills, attention to detail, and ability to navigate challenges gave us complete confidence that we were in the right hands. He consistently went above and beyond, advocating for us and ensuring everything stayed on track all the way through closing. What started as a random Zillow showing turned into finding not only our new home, but also a realtor we would recommend without hesitation to family and friends. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly committed to his clients, Armando is the realtor you want on your side. We couldn't be happier -- thank you, Armando!

From day one, they provided a detailed prep plan and helped us prioritize the right improvements to get our home market-ready. The staging completely blew us away--we barely recognized our own home! It truly felt like they were preparing it for the next family to love just as much as we did. What meant the most to us was the communication. They kept us informed every step of the way, which built so much trust and gave us peace of mind throughout the process. Everything--from preparation to closing--was seamless. We're beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thank you for making such a big transition in our lives feel so easy! Grateful to have worked with such an amazing team.

When I listed my house with Rocky Coennen and Remax of Santa Clarita, I had no idea the horrors in…read morestore. When I agreed to list the house with my ex-wife's lame friend, Rocky, I thought that we all had the same goal in mind - to get the most money for the house in a changing market. I purchased the house prior to marrying my ex and remained in the home after our separation. When I signed the "seven" month listing agreement, I never received a copy of it - even after I asked Rocky for a copy months into the listing. Six months and four price reductions later (totaling $100,000 less than the original listing price) we received what I thought was an insulting low-ball offer. After countering back and being unable to reach an agreement with the potential buyers, I was ordered into court by my ex-wife. In court, I was given the choice to either take the low-ball offer or buy my ex-wife out of the house through refinancing in my name. When I chose to keep the house, my ex presented a letter to the court by Rocky of Remax and the judge was told that Remax would indeed sue for the full 5% of the buyer's agent and seller's agent commission. Not having any time in court to obtain a release of contract from Remax of SantaClarita, they refused to cancel the listing agreement without a cashiers check in the amount of $27,000. It's amazing how they received FULL commission and they didn't even sell the house! I would not recommend working with Rocky Coennen or Remax of Santa Clarita. I felt that Rocky worked harder at trying to get a lower price for my house instead of working for the best price. I didn't feel that Rocky or Remax of Santa Clarita had my best interest at heart or cared about their reputation. I fully understand having to get a loan to refinance your house, but certainly didn't expect to have to get a $27,000 additional loan just to pay my realtor for not selling my house.

I honestly never thought I would be writing a review for another Realtor but you have to give…read morecredit where credit is due. I am writing this in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Things are very bad at the moment and there is so much uncertainty everywhere you look. I was representing the seller of a home and when we put the listing live we had several offers all in the same range. After looking through them with the sellers and considering options we decided to only respond to one of them. If I have ever made a correct judgment in 30 years this would be the one. Because of the worldwide pandemic, things are very unpredictable. Loans are not getting to the finish line and people are very nervous about being able to complete an escrow. In a typical Real-Estate Transaction, there are several milestones that you work towards to complete things in a timely manner and get to the "Finish Line". Because of all of the uncertainty, people on all ends of transactions are very worried about removing contingencies and moving past these milestones without protections. When you are faced with this that is when you really appreciate the experience of a great Real-Estate Agent and that is what Mayra Santana is completely wonderful! My sellers had a purchase on the other side of this transaction that we work also working on which made things even more complicated but the entire time while doing an amazing job to keep her client's interest first and protected she worked closely with me making sure we had what we needed to not only complete this sale but the purchase on the other side of this sale. My wife and I (We work together as an agent team) had some moments of concern but Mayra always was there to help and work with us to get everything done. In 30 years I have never written a review for another agent but this was just one of those times that I feel people need to know what Mayra is all about, Complete Professionalism at all times!!! I told her a few days back and I meant it, I wish every transaction I had going forward was with her it was a pleasure working with her. We are set to close tomorrow one day ahead of schedule during a time where a worldwide pandemic has the entire world on lockdown. This is an example of when having an experienced agent on both sides matters most!
