She anticipated steps before they became issues, kept everything moving smoothly, and made a process that can often feel stressful feel organized and easy. Alicia also knows Playa Vista exceptionally well. Beyond helping us secure the home, she guided us on everything we needed locally to settle in quickly, which made the entire transition feel seamless. We can't recommend Alicia enough.

Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for Martha Gonzalez! After striking out with…read moreanother realty company, Martha came in and truly saved the day. Not only did she make time for my busy schedule, but she did it without hesitation. Her service is unmatched. She was always positive, supportive, and, most importantly, HONEST. I didn't know what to expect when I first walked into her office because, after my previous experience, I definitely had a bad taste in my mouth. But Martha completely changed that experience for me. She was everything I could have hoped for in a realtor and more. Because of Martha, I purchased my home! She made it possible for us to turn our dream of owning a home into reality. I already recommend Martha to everyone I know, but now I'm letting the internet know too: I would recommend Martha a million times over! Thank you again, Martha, for believing in us, guiding us through the process, and helping make our dreams come true. We are forever grateful!

Selling my home in Newhall, Santa Clarita was a much smoother experience than I expected thanks to…read moreour Realtor, Martha Gonzalez. From the beginning, she had a clear strategy for marketing, pricing, and negotiating the sale of my home. Within just two weeks on the market, Martha sold my home for $15,000 above the asking price. She also negotiated a two-week leaseback for me, which gave me the extra time I needed to coordinate my move without added stress. What impressed me most was her communication, knowledge of the Santa Clarita real estate market, and ability to negotiate favorable terms throughout the transaction. If you're looking for a Realtor in Santa Clarita or Newhall who knows how to market a home, attract serious buyers, and maximize your results, I highly recommend Martha Gonzalez and the Valley Side Homes team.

Erica Carver.... The "dream maker" as we like to call her…read more.. My wife and I have always had hopes and dreams of owning a home in the Los Angeles area. Usually we would talk about it and then come to the realization that it's just too far out of reach. We didn't know what to do or where to even start. A co-worker of mine, who had bought a starter home through Erica and recently sold it, made quite a bit of money and moved to a bigger home (also, with Erica) insisted that I give her a call just to answer some very initial questions... My wife and I met Erica at her office about a week later, on March 14th, 2016. We immediately felt comfortable with her which was important since real estate is foreign to us, especially in the Los Angeles area. Erica looked over everything and let us know that we, infact, could buy a home. Erica's a true fighter with a compassionate way of handling all situations which was critical for our FHA loan. She gave us confidence and hope that we would be able to find our dream home even though the search seemed overwhelming at times. Erica handed us keys to our first home, our dream home, on May 17th- 64 days after meeting her. There are really no words to truly describe the level of Erica Carver's abilities. Her work ethic is like none I've ever seen. Constant communication so we knew exactly what was going on every step of the way. She makes you feel like you're her only priority and feels like you're dealing with family. Without any exaggeration and speaking in the most literal sense, Erica truly made our dreams come true. I am still overwhelmed with emotions and can't believe the reality of it. Save yourself time, energy, resources, etc and call Erica so you can sit in your dream house enjoying every second of your life. Michael and Lis

Ellie Thompson, James Clay and her entire team are truly remarkable.

Not only is she an excellent realtor who works diligently with you every step of the way, but she helps you pull your resources together to make it all happen with the assistance of her equally excellent escrow manager. After visiting a number of houses with her for several weeks, I suddenly noticed a new listing pop up that looked perfect. I instantly texted Ellie who was on it immediately and we had the first showing. Loving the house, we flew back to her office and she worked her butt off to get our offer in first and insured all the details during escrow were understood and complied with. We are so grateful to her and her team for helping us find our dream home.

Seeing all these positive reviews about Sharon really makes me questions whether or not these other…read morepeople are just her friends and family. "Super fast" "above and beyond" "extremely competent" "excellent communication and responsiveness" are the COMPLETE opposite of how I would choose to describe her. From the very beginning she has been difficult to work with. I had to work with her on renting out a unit at a brand new apartment building. Getting her to send out our lease was difficult. She kept pushing back saying she was "working on it" and then there was "server issues" and that she would get it to us by tomorrow afternoon (which was a saturday). Saturday evening I contacted her regarding the lease and if there was any issues holding it up to which she responded "Yes, it's the weekend". First of all, she was the one who informed me it would be done Saturday. Had she said Monday, I would have waited until Monday. Ok that was one annoying thing right? Well I let that slide because we got the leases signed and sent off. When I went to go drop off the security deposit I met her in person for the first time and she was really great in person (but where the heck is this person over text/email?!) She handed the keys off to me and my roommate and I thought that would be the end of our interactions. WRONG. The keys she handed us were completely wrong. We weren't able to enter the apartment at all because the physical keys weren't the right ones and the keypad was out of battery... imagine the frustration... Again I let that slide. Now here's where I just decided I had to let the world know my frustration. Our apartment is brand new and with no management on site we have to voice all of our concerns to Sharon. I have contacted her multiple times regarding getting our apartment cleaned before our move-in date (never happened). Maintenance came by right after our move in date to check everything and address the concerns we had. I had asked them specifically about the W&D and whether it was ready to use or not. They confirmed it was ready, so I went ahead and started using it. WELL they didn't bother to check whether or not the output drain for the washer was ever actually secured so it FLOODED our laundry area. Now I'm extremely irritated because not only had I addressed this with Sharon but FOUR guys came in and not one noticed anything wrong which in the end caused a flood in our apartment. After I cleaned up the mess at 1AM on a work night, I sent an extremely long email to Sharon addressing all of my concerns and complaints. I expected her to forward this email to the maintenance or management of the apartment. WELL she didn't. I talked to maintenance because they were supposed to come into my unit yesterday to fix things (which I reluctantly locked my dog in her kennel all day for while I was at work) and they never came by. This morning I saw maintenance again and asked why they hadn't come to which they responded that they never received anything from Sharon regarding things that needed to be fixed in our apartment!!!!!!! SO she been a horrible middle man between the tenants and the apartment management which is her JOB. I understand she has a ton of tenants under her management, but it is completely unacceptable how many times she has neglected to communicate the right things to the right people or address ANY issues I've had. If she can't handle this job, then she needs to get someone else to help or just pass the job onto someone more capable. I've let so many things slide but one thing after another is just ridiculous. If you need things dealt with in a timely manner and accurately, do not go to Sharon unless you want the biggest headache and to be completely neglected.
