Jack helped me purchase my first condo earlier this year. I worked with a handful realtors…read morethroughout the home-buying process and found Jack to be the most knowledgeable and ethical. He is both patient and skilled and made the process smooth and worry-free as I could have hoped.

We hired Alan Silva to sell our luxury beachfront condo in Long Beach, CA in March 2025. We had…read morelisted it a year earlier, but that agent and ourselves were just not a good fit, and it failed to sell. Alan, on the other hand, was just what we and this property needed. He was collaborative with us in a true partnership about how to position and market our property in a challenging market time. He listened to our input and combined it with his deep knowledge of the Long Beach market to arrive at an optimum selling strategy. He has a talented set of partners - photographers, escrow agents, lenders, and marketing professionals. His brokerage, Compass, has excellent resources and international reach which was important for a property such as ours. Our condo received lots of qualified interest from around the country and the world. We had already relocated outside of the LA area and, thus, needed a lot of extra help and attention, which Alan generously and professionally supplied. Once we had an offer, Alan's real value emerged in how he managed the escrow period and kept the sale alive through several unique challenges presented by our buyer and her lender. In the end, the sale successfully closed with a happy seller and a happy buyer. Although Alan didn't represent the buyer, even the buyer felt that Alan was the key to a successful outcome - that's how professional and extremely competent Alan is as a real estate professional. We have bought and sold numerous properties around the country in our lifetime - Alan Silva was the most talented and effective real estate agent we have ever worked with on the sell-side or the buy-side. If you are looking for a fantastic real estate professional to represent you in buying or selling your home, you will not find someone better than Alan Silva.

A lifelong goal to fulfill the "American dream" of becoming a homeowner was recently made possible…read more Thanks to all of the support of a wonderful individual and professional, Alan Silva and his trusted counterparts. I must emphasize that Alan is such a wonderful, loving and utmost professional! He is an individual that goes above and beyond to ensure the best interest of the client. From the second I spoke with Alan over the phone he focused on what my needs and goals were. He was clear on what he had to offer and met with me right away. His slogan "Experience the Silva Strategy" is something he takes pride in. I can attest it is a unique way of him being able to bring who he is and the services he can offer to another level. From the moment he met with me, his focus was on ME! He listened to what was important to ME. He assertively ascertained on how him and his team could service ME. His communication skills, details in explaining the entire process from beginning to end (emphasis on the offer, escrow paperwork, requisite forms, response times, e-signing, etc...) has been a pleasant and beyond satisfactory experience. But it doesn't stop there. What I experienced to be a wonderful testament that I MUST share is that EVERYONE that has been a part of Alan's team (Hector Saavedra with the loan support, Crystal Vianna & Leslie Campos on the operations side, Eric Reece with the inspection efforts, Alan Cantu on the electrical services and the list goes on) shared the same level of care and dedication. Alan's circle of trust is a reflection of who HE is and what he brings to the table. Seek no further. Alan and his trusted team can successfully ensure your real estate goals are achieved. But most importantly that YOU are happy with the decisions made along the way.

Thanks to Sam, my wife & I were able to close last month on our first property…read more As first time home buyers, we were glad to find such a professional, experienced, and understanding realtor and mortgage broker, especially in a tough market were the odds are mostly in favor of a seller. He was constantly out on field with us checking out properties, and once we settled on one and got our offer approved, he not only guided us through the mortgage loan application process, but he also spearheaded the whole negotiation during a longer than expected escrow due to a stubborn seller. The outcome was brilliant and definitely in our favor, from beginning to final sale, and beyond! We know that he will be our agent for a future home purchase/sale/refinancing, and will definitely be recommending Sam to anyone in need of a skilled real estate agent, or a mortgage loan specialist.

When the home inspector that we hired mentioned how knowledgeable Matt was regarding all the specifics, we realized how valuable Matt's expertise really is. Buying a home is a complex process, especially during a market as we have today. Having Matt as our agent made it much simpler and allowed us to focus on what was important for our family.

As I was exploring Long Beach for a second home while I am on semi-retirement, I did my research on…read morereal estate agents to find one who had been in Long Beach, proper, for a while and also was knowledgable of Long Beach's famous gay scene. Ken was definitely knowledgeable and well keyed into the Long Beach community at large and also determined based on what I was searching for a modern style condo. Ken was personable, was able to help me out with challenges with my finding a place (including allowing himself a whole Saturday on two days' notice to look at places with me) as well as getting settled. I strongly recommend him as an agent and if I need to ever find another place in this area again, he would be on the top of my list.

Since we've closed on our home, my husband I felt the need to write a review about our experience…read morewith Ken. First, we were really hesitant to work with anyone being that there have been so many programs like Zillow, Redfin, or what have you. We completely felt that we could take on this house shopping on our own. Oh boy, we were wrong. Without Ken, we faced a lot of bumps in the road. Other agents didn't take us seriously and even though we had a loan approval, we still had difficulty setting up appointments with other agents. It took a lot of time sorting through the ones that we wanted since most websites didn't offer the filter options we were looking to have with our new home. Finally, we met Ken at a listing that we were interested in. The agent had her lead listing agent show us the property. Ken showed up on time, messaged me via text and was very accommodating to the appointment time change. We walked through the property and he then explained to us what the difference of this particular property in comparison to other active listings. He then went into explaining the process of home buying, the loan, contingencies, deadlines, etc. It just seemed at that moment, we were comfortable. It was a brief conversation but his approach fit ours. We didn't want someone hovering us while we roamed around the property. We wanted someone who was going to give us our space; let us feel the property. We wanted someone that was going to answer all our questions, but not overload us. We wanted someone who was going to summarize what we really needed to know. Before we officially started to work with him, we had a few agents contact us. To be fair, we asked everyone of them the same set of questions. Ken's answers put him over the top. With a military background, he understands the meaning of organization, and being prompt. As a teacher, I need these two components when working with people - especially with such a large purchase as home buying! In addition, he has property experience with construction management, which ensured us that we were working with someone who was more than just an agent but someone who was familiar with the bones of the property. And then the adventure began! Almost every weekend and occasional week days/evenings, we met Ken at our properties that we were interested in and found or the ones that he found. He provided us a list of filtered options. We mostly found ours off of other websites or apps. He would take care of contacting the agents and setting up appointments. This made the home shopping experience ten-thousand times easier than when we were doing it on our own. We went through a few offers that fell through but it didn't matter. Ken was by our side, gave advice, and a lot of comfort. As a first time home buyer, we were obviously faced with a whirlwind of emotions. Ken made sure that we were making the decision that was right for us; not the buyer. He made sure that we weren't overextending ourselves just because we loved a place. He literally had our best interests at hand. Over the (about) two month process of working with Ken, my husband and I felt very informed. If we ever had a question, it was answered or he found an answer. He heard what our pros and cons were and there was never a sense of urgency on his end. At the end of the process, we closed escrow ten days early and we couldn't be happier. He's always been available via text, email or a phone call away. I highly recommend Ken.
