We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Nelya from the Oriana Shea Group. From the…read morevery first conversation, she brought confidence, clarity, and a level of professionalism that immediately put us at ease. She knows the Long Beach market inside and out and doesn't just "show homes"--she strategically guides you toward the right decision. Nelya was always one step ahead, anticipating issues before they came up and handling everything with impressive speed and precision. Her negotiation skills are outstanding; she truly advocates for her clients and makes sure you're getting the best possible outcome without ever feeling pressured or rushed. What really stood out was how available and responsive she was throughout the entire process--day, night, weekends, she was there with answers, solutions, and reassurance. She made what can be a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and even exciting. If you want someone sharp, proactive, and genuinely committed to getting results, Nelya is the agent you want in your corner. We can't recommend her and the Oriana Shea Group highly enough. Cheers!

I love this woman!! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If every prospective buyer/seller had Silvia on their side, the world would be a better place. No,…read moreseriously! When we started our buying journey in 2020, I reached out to Silvia and asked what felt like a million questions. She answered all of my questions, and provided great context and examples. She guided us through the entire process with grace, patience, heart, and brought us so much joy. With Silvia's help, we bought our first home in Garden Grove and the entire journey only lasted about 3 months from putting together lists and touring to getting our keys. Silvia has since then become a great friend to us and we're looking forward to learning more from her in the future about real estate investing and, of course, to get our future homes! Thank you for all you do, Silvia.

Cannot Recommend this Rental management company. We have…read moremany friends we regularly see in & around Long Beach areas, where these guys manage Rental homes etc. We all see, Dead grass, dead flowers, some with No lights at night, this company, does not bother or care, to Auto turn on at night in their very dark, & Vacant rental homes, in the neighborhoods etc. A neighbor also tried inquiring re: a home rental availability, like others have said, no one at APM did not even bother to reply back. These guys appear mostly only care about money/revenue, but have No real care or concern for their properties or neighborhoods, that they are in. Sad to say, We would never use or Recommend this company.

Before coming down to Long Beach I lived in San Francisco for about 10 years through schooling…read more Over that time I moved close to a dozen times. I have grown to HATE the process of apartment hunting. It is the bane of my existence. It is a stressful and terrible time and I thought that I would never find a way to make it go more smoothly. Esther has proven me wrong. There is a better way to do things. The key is to find a smart ally to do all of the heavy lifting. Esther helped me get into the place I'm currently living in. I hesitate to say that she merely "helped" because it isn't a strong enough term for the assistance I received. I am not exaggerating when I say that I would not be in this spot without her - she was like a 1 woman army. When my wife and I made the decision to find a new place (we're up sizing because of our baby on the way) I knew that there was only one person to go to. She is super easy to get in contact with of, she is very organized, and she has that all-important quality called "hustle" that is so rare to find in the wild these days.

March 1, 2025 marks the day that I say a bittersweet farewell to my wonderful apartment (on Blix…read moreSt/NoHo) that has kept me safe and secure for 8 years. I was initially interested in another unit of theirs in Burbank but as fate would have it, I ended up with the one I got - which I'm truly grateful for. Since the initial unit I was interested in was awarded to a previous tenant, Lily (SIP Agent) who liked my application was kind enough to inform me that a new unit has opened up but would not be ready for another 2 weeks. I agreed to view it and she connected me with Ryan (SIP Property Site Coordinator) to schedule a day to come by for a quick walkthrough. Despite it being in the middle of renovation/facelift, I can already tell it would look nice once it's done. After I suggested some cost savings options (rather than a full upgrade) for the kitchen and flooring, the owner decided to fully upgrade both kitchen and bathroom. I informed Ryan of my silver/gray/white theme and got approval from the owner to proceed with silver/chrome fixtures/hardware and white kitchen cabinets. They also agreed to paint the entire unit to match the wall colors of the initial apartment I was interested in - and even allowed me to choose a carpet color to complement the entire look of the unit . The 2-week wait was so worth it! I loved that the building is close to all amenities, including my place of work. I loved the subterranean garage with wide parking spaces (unlike others that are too crammed) and how quiet the building is (no yellers or loud music). Most importantly, Ryan and Sean (Building Manager) were ALWAYS SO QUICK to address any issues I may have regarding my unit and the building (which, to be honest, not a lot). Overall, I am truly grateful to have gotten my unit and will cherish the memories I get to spend there with my friends and family.
