I recently worked with Mia and Derek to purchase my first home and I can't thank them enough! As a…read morefirst time homebuyer, I had no idea what to expect and was completely unfamiliar with the process. Both of them were incredibly kind and helpful in guiding me through every step of the way. I worked more closely with Mia throughout the process and I truly credit her as the reason I was able to get my home at the deal I did. I think her personality is very personable and represented me well to the sellers leaving good impressions. Highly recommend

From our very first consultation call, my wife and I knew this team would be the ones to get the job done and would go above and beyond to represent us in a highly competitive real estate market. There was never any pressure from them. We could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted, and they respected our pace every step of the way. They were always available and accommodating when it came to showings and open houses. What we appreciated most was their honest and insightful opinions about the properties we toured -- details that only experienced realtors would notice, and things you might never even consider as a first-time home buyer. They are always available to hop on a call and quickly respond to texts for any question (trust me we had a lot). When we finally found a home we loved, they walked us through the offer process and helped us craft a competitive offer that allowed us to stand out. Escrow was completely stress-free, as they arranged inspections and coordinated everything so seamlessly. There was a small hiccup the day before our closing -- through no fault of this team whatsoever -- but they were immediately on top of it, working swiftly with our lender, escrow agency, and insurance agent to ensure we closed right on schedule. We are extremely grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance the team at Hirano Homes provided throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with them, and I am so glad we did -- because we ended up with the perfect home for us!

We entered the homebuying process a bit last minute and to say we were overwhelmed at the time is an understatement.

The level of guidance and communication throughout the process cannot be matched. We're so grateful for their meticulousness, advocacy, and thoughtfulness, and we're beyond happy with our experience. This is absolutely the only team you need to work with!

Working with The Bhagat Group was truly a game-changer in my homebuying journey. From our very…read morefirst conversation, I felt confident and supported. My realtor was not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely caring and patient--qualities that made all the difference during a process that can often feel overwhelming. She introduced me to an amazing lender (Pradeep Madaan), who helped me secure a great loan, and she stayed engaged every step of the way to ensure things moved smoothly and on schedule. I always felt like I had a true advocate in my corner. Thanks to The Bhagat Group, I'm now settled in a home where I can create lasting memories with my daughters. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their dedication, responsiveness, and personal touch are unmatched. Thank you again for everything! --Gerel B.

Barbara's breadth of the real estate market is impressive. We have used agents in both Manhattan,…read moreNew York and in Los Angeles, and by far, she is the most knowledgeable and skilled agent we have worked with on either coast. We were looking for a specific style condo in a very hot market back in 2015. Living bi-coastal, and not being in LA at the time, Barbara found us the perfect home. We trusted her judgement and expertise so much so, that we made an offer site unseen. Barbara's strong negotiating skills and years of experience were on full display as it turned out to be a very challenging deal. When we decided to sell our home four years later, it was a no-brainer to once again go with Barbara. She presented all the data and market analysis when setting our price, and used many media platforms to market our home. First weekend open house, our home sold with multiple offers over asking. To say Barbara is skilled at her craft is an understatement. You would be wise to have her on your side, either a seller or buyer.

Initially, I had an offer in to buy a house and Barbara protected me with the sales contract and the best home inspection. While the house looked amazing cosmetically, it was an older home and the inspection uncovered some expensive items that the owner was not going to pay for. So, I was able to get out of the contract without penalty due to Barbara's savvy real estate skills! She then helped me to find a newer home with a good starting point where I could make some of the modern renovations myself saving money overall and getting the color palette I wanted. We were able to negotiate down on the purchase price and the Zillow Zestimate for my house is now over $110K over my purchase price from only 3 years ago. Now that's a great investment in my book!

By the time we met the next day, they had already completed a complete portfolio including all sorts of market research. I was selling my childhood home, and Kathy was very patient as I went back and forth on whether I should sell. Ultimately I sold because managing a house from across country was going to be difficult. That was a great decision because I now have a house at the beach in Virginia. Kathy was very helpful when I needed something done. The house sold for $50k over asking, and I appreciate the way Kathy handled the offered and provided strategies for counter offers.

As an attorney, I have been involved in more real estate transactions than most people. I have…read morelearned that a Realtor needs much more than outstanding knowledge of real estate, law, finance, marketing, taxes, insurance, home repair, multiple ethnic cultural acumen (and a good car,) all of which the Tyndalls possess. They need to be psychologists capable of handling whatever personal barriers that may arise. As far as I am concerned, they have earned their "Shrink PhD". I was involved in a divorce oriented home sale with the Tyndalls as Realtors. Even after a long, tedious, conflicted sale was closed, they showed up with flowers for the client on Valentine's Day, the most valuable and empathetic gift anyone could have given a new divorcee. Since that difficult transaction with the Tyndalls moderating emotions, I have never hesitated to recommend them. They are a rare combination of professionalism, knowledge, competency, personality and compassion.

They also charged a $750 in commission fees. I have never heard of anything like this, but I guess that's just what they do. When we moved into the apartment, the whole apartment was not painted. It was touched up with a different color white We moved out, took several pictures and left it immaculate and they ended up painting the entire apartment for $500 when you live in an apartment you should do a walk-through when you first rent from a landlord, that did not happen there was no walk-through so we took pictures of the entire unit. The unit was so disgusting. I spent two days cleaning it. The prior owner's mother went in there with Windex and paper towels and cleaned it. That's not how you clean a unit. Tou use chemicals such as comet and the list goes on. The charges that he charged us was not acceptable to us. We were very fair. There was no heat in the unit except for the fireplace which is since off enough heat to do partial of the living room. The stove is absolutely horrible. Excessive grease on stove. mold underneath the bathroom sink. I would never rent from this person again Smith properties.

I cannot say enough good things about Alex and Eileen. My wife and I called Alex after seeing an…read moreopen house we liked, and within minutes, he drove there, got all relevant info from the listing agent and connected us with a lender so we could get an offer in the next day. We didn't get the house, but needless to say, we were impressed! Fast forward a few weeks, and after taking us to numerous open houses, Alex helped us find "the one." He strategized with us to come up with the winning offer, then guided us through a difficult escrow in which we found major problems with the property. Alex kept us calm, and in the end was able to facilitate seller concessions to fix all issues (quite a feat in this seller's market)! My wife and I now have the South Bay property of our dreams, and I am positive that no other agent in the area would have gotten our offer accepted, and closed escrow with such favorable terms. Most importantly, Alex conducted himself with skill, integrity, humor and candor. We cannot recommend him enough! Finally, his assistant Eileen was also amazing! She scheduled and organized all our inspections, and spent hours with us and keeping track of all the findings. Anytime we had a question she had an answer, or knew who to ask. In Summary, you cannot go wrong with Alex Smith Realty - you'll receive first-class service and leave with a new home and two new friends!
