Tony, Chris, and team Elevate came through big time on a rescue mission for my parents. Before reaching out to Tony, my parents' house had been sitting on the market for nearly 100 days with their previous agent with zero offers. They were worried to say the least. In the first meeting with Tony, he listened to all our concerns and took the time to explain several different options for our specific situation. Despite coming in on a stale listing, all Tony asked for was our trust. His confidence and strategy for re-positioning the home for a successful sale gave us a lot of hope. After the meeting, things began moving quickly. Tony and Chris sent us a detailed timeline and schedule for market preparation, and Tony's team started work right away. They took care of everything from exterior work, interior work, interior design, staging, photography, and marketing. Chris provided weekly updates and answered all of our questions along the way. He really went above and beyond to take care of even the smallest details. Tony was also quick to respond any time my parents had issues or needed some reassurance. My parents are super grateful to both of them for their patience and help. In a short couple of weeks, the house looked like a completely different home. We re-listed in February and had the first Open House on a Saturday. Over 100+ visitors showed up that day. People were actually competing for parking spots on the street. On Sunday, it was raining, but another 80+ visitors still showed up. On Monday, multiple offers came in and Tony worked his magic with the competing bids. By Wednesday, Tony had secured an offer nearly $10k above the list price. We entered escrow on Friday. All done in less than a week. I have to say it was pretty amazing to see Tony and his team turn my parents' listing around and deliver such an incredible result. Thank you, Tony, Chris, and team Elevate for all your hard work and for taking such great care of my parents. You guys were truly a blessing. I'll definitely be recommending you and coming back for any future real estate needs. read more

Wow, is the first word that comes to mind while witnessing Tony and his team operate. From their understanding of the market, to making the entire buy/sell process seamless and effortless for me was impressive to say the least. They truly set the standard when it comes to full service real estate. Thank you again Tony and team! read more

As a consumer, there are a few things that I dread the most when it comes to making a purchase. 1. Buying a car 2. Buying furniture and 3. Buying a home. What do all these have in common?? Sales people who are like VULTURES!!! Coming from the car industry, I understand the anxieties that come with making these types of purchases and the feeling of not wanting to be screwed over, for lack of a better term. However, when it comes to purchasing a home, Tony and his team at Elevate Estates is not one you find in the industry these days. My husband and I were in a bind to quickly purchase our own home and Tony, Matt, Aja, Robert and the rest of Elevate Estates team were there to help us EVERY step of the way. We were first time home buyers and my husband was not sure if we were ready to make such a big purchase. But with the help of Tony and his team, we were able to get the house that we needed, in a timely manner, with an awesome experience. We even had MULTIPLE hiccups along the way (on our part) and Tony was able to QUICKLY fix the problems, keep the deal together and get us our home. Tony and his team are professional, helpful, GENUINE, have VALUES and MORALS, are dedicated and most importantly, they are HONEST. In an industry like home buying and others that are similar, these qualities have been lost and are no longer a priority. This makes Tony and his team even more valuable and necessary for the consumer. I have so much more to say about Tony and his team at Elevate Estates but I figure these main points are the most important. If you want someone that can trust and depend on no matter where you are in the process of searching for your new home, don't look any further than Tony and Elevate Estates, Inc. They will not disappoint! Thank you Tony and Matthew for helping us with our purchase! Robert and Aja, you were just as important in this process as well! I know we will be working together in the future! read more

The team at Elevate Estates is exceptional. Together we navigated the concurrent sale of our home and purchase of a new home. Through the entire journey both Chris and Tony were always available to help guide us through the emotional and rational aspects of the process. I believe in the mantra to trust but verify and I did every step of the way. The team's advice was always in our best interest. We will absolutely be working with them again in the future. read more

Tony, Solly, Robert and the rest of the Elevate Estates team are absolutely incredible to work with. My wife and I recently decided to move down from SF to LA, and we had a very hard time finding a real estate agent that we could trust to handle all of our needs and tasks while we were working 400 miles away. I met Tony and Solly at an open house that we were interested in, and I instantly noticed how sharp and involved they were with everyone that went in to see the house. After experiencing how friendly and knowledgeable they were about the area, I immediately dropped the real estate agent I was working with at the time and called up Tony to see if he would represent me. He said yes and I sent him and Solly a list of the properties I wanted to see on my drive down from SF. Within 24 hours, Solly had contacted all of properties and scheduled appointments for viewings, and sent over a detailed and efficient schedule for us to follow that coming weekend. When we finally found the house we wanted, I was just talking with Solly about next steps and how he would handle the negotiating process and I was left extremely impressed by his strategy and negotiating skills. He and Tony left me without a doubt that they had my best interests in mind and have the skills to get me the best deal possible. My wife and I and now moved into our new home, and we have been raving about Tony and Solly to everyone we know that is interested in buying a house. I have worked with over 5 different agents in SF and LA and no one even comes close to Tony and Solly in terms of quality, knowledge, and service. read more

First time that Darryl was introduced to me and my husband, he already left us with a good impression, by being prompt and accommodating after another agent(a long time family friend) left us by ourselves for no apparent reason. Being first time homebuyers, we are clueless and lost with all the works and things we need to know in homebuying. However, Darryl never showed an ounce of hesitation or even impatience with our constant questioning and calls literally, any time of the day. He made sure that we are well informed and updated from the tiniest details of seeing the property, making an offer and most specially, understanding each step until our closing date. He most definitely supported and listened to us, not only as an agent but as a friend, everytime we feel like giving up and exhausted for finding the right home for our family. We couldn't be more thankful for him, especially his team for making our dream home come true. I highly recommend Darryl Valdez, Robert and the whole team in Elevate Estates for a smooth and quick home-buying journey! read more

Tony and his team walked us through the whole process of our purchase. They were flexible, accommodating, had a sense of urgency and most important he and his team were very knowledgeable. They guided us through so well that we felt at ease the whole time. This is our second purchase of our home and we wished that we used them for the first one. Tony and his team earned our customer loyalty for life. They even got us help with a contractor and loan company. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy, sell or questions. They will not disappoint. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tony when looking for my home. From day one, Tony was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what I was looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing Tony and his team were there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be! read more

I was referred to Tony from a few friends that knew him. My wife and I worked with Josh. It was the most insane year to be looking for homes. Josh was very responsive and bent backwards for us as we were learning the ropes for our first home buying experience. We saw dozens of homes and lost out on offers for a year. We would take a few months off (we were on the front lines with covid and my wife caught covid at one point) a couple times but when we were ready this past March, Josh was too. We went aggressive and finally bought our first home. I would say communication would be the best attribute of Josh. Always prompt and pleasant. Highly recommend Elevate Estates. read more

I must say you get what you pay for. I asked for the best and I got the GREATEST!!! Elevate Estates just blew my expectations out of the water. 1. They helped me finish up my house becuase I was taking too long ( Thanks Tony) 2. They got it listed in record time 3. SOLD it in an even faster time 4. Closing -- I thought it was going to be a headache but turned into a dream with the Dream Team over at Elevate. Anyone looking to sell USE these guys they know what they are doing, and I am sure if buying with them is even half the experience I got with them with selling they will get you into your next dream home. read more

Tony and his team helped me to purchase my first home. It was a very good experience!! He let me know step by step what would be happening which was really nice since this was my first home buying experience. His team was very responsive and returned my messages promptly. I would definitely recommend his team!!! I was able to get my dream starter home because of his team!! read more

As a first time home buyers and someone who didn't grow up here in SoCal, buying a home within the budget makes it really challenging. Met Tony thru referral from a close friend who recently bought their home. They highly recommended him. So, sure, why not contact him and set a meeting. First impression, he is welcoming, professional and clean! Buying a home takes a lot of effort! From visiting the place, reviewing the environment, thinking if this is still within budget. It was a lot if you're working all day. But having Tony as an agent, he guided us how to get to our ideal home. He knows how to handle situations where we (as buyers) tend to get pressured of the requirements! He is also very responsive with our questions, hands-on, and patiently explain technical/legal things in a manner that we'll understand. Tony goes beyond his limits. I appreciated all the help. We didn't find an agent. Our little family found a new friend. read more

Anyone can be a real estate professional, but not all are truly professional. Tony is the rare exception, and I owe the success of my recent home sale to his hard work, dedication to excellence, well developed network of investors, and general industry savvy. I decided to put my duplex in Los Angeles on the market just a few days before packing up and moving across the country to start a life in New York. I expected the process to be a bit of a nightmare given my geographic limitations, but I soon began experiencing Tony's superior, next-level customer service! We set up regular conference calls to discuss every component of the sale process, he negotiated a slam dunk contract, and he made sure I understood and was aligned with his course of action and justifications for each. Despite being thousands of miles away, I felt very connected to process and was 100% entrusted in Tony and his team because they continued to go above and beyond my expectations of what a TRUE real estate professional can and should do for a seller. I would recommend Tony to all of my friends, colleagues, and family. If you're looking for "great," then find a real estate professional. If you're looking for EXCELLENCE, then you must absolutely work with Tony! You won't regret it. As for me, time to go cash in my closing check! Thank you, Tony, for all that you do. Keep up the fantastic work! read more

This is our second experience with Elevate. They first helped us buy our house and then we recently sold it for a price we did not expect! Well above the asking price and we are thrilled. It was so easy and comfortable with them. They are total experts in the business. I always felt so comfortable asking questions any time and they always respond quickly. Their team is great. They will clean your house, stage it, take the BEST photos, and it's amazing how it stands out among all the other listings! They have our business for life. We've already told them what we want for our next house and we can't wait to work with them again in the very near future. I can't recommend them enough... especially for such a huge purchase like a home you definitely want the best. read more

Chris made our first time home buying experience so much easier than I expected. He was patient explaining everything we didn't understand and showed us so many properties that fit our budget and all our criteria. I couldn't recommend him enough read more

Wow! Where do I start! Tony Kim and his team were amazing to work with. Tony Kim and Elevate Estates Inc. made our experience as enjoyable and seamless as possible! Right off the bat, Tony met with my wife and I with a plan for success with selling our current home and purchasing our new home. With his clear communication, dedication, and execution, he was able to sell our house quickly at above asking price just days after our first open house! The next obstacle was to find our new home! As you may know, it is a very competitive market in LA/OC. He was extremely patient with researching and showing us homes that met our wishlist. Once we found our perfect home, Tony and his team worked their magic to get our offer accepted!

We always dreamed of buying a home and elevate estates made it come true. Darryl was our agent and made that dream possible. My family and I had many questions and he made sure we understood. He made finding a home very easy and the process was smooth. Darryl and his team worked day and night and assured us that things were OK. He was very patient, understanding, and took the time to listen to what we were looking for. Team Elevate is very responsible and really care about their clients. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone looking for a home. Good job Darryl and thank you. read more

Tony and Chris are both wonderful to work with! Right from our initial meeting it was evident that Tony knows his stuff and was interested in learning about us and how he could best serve us. He spent time educating us about all aspects of making a home purchase and was patient to answer our many follow-up questions in a timely manner via text and phone calls. Chris always made himself available to us for house viewings and was quick to arrange appointments as soon as we reached out to him. The team at Elevate Estates worked cohesively together to ensure that our home search process as well as our home purchase itself went as smoothly as possible. We appreciate their responsiveness, their willingness to make things happen on short notice, and the care that they showed to us throughout our home purchase journey. We highly recommend Elevate Estates for any of your real estate needs! read more

First time home buyer and Darryl was a great help guiding us from start to finish. Answered all questions in details and am very pleased with the whole experience. He also went out of the way to help us with stuff outside of the home purchase. Highly recommend Darryl for anyone who's looking to purchase a home! read more

I recently purchased a home in Texas. Since Tony Kim had done such a great job in finding me my condo in Tustin, CA I called him when I was ready to sell my condo since I am now moving to Texas. Tony and his Ops Director Chris, arranged to have my house staged, repaired and photographed within days to advertise. Within one week had first open house. Sold my property same day. And then got me a 21 day escrow so I could give proper notice to my place of employment. And to ensure I was able to give proper notice, the negotiated a 7 day rent back for me. Also sold my fridge and washer /dryer set so I did not have to pay shipping charges for those as well. It was a win win for me and the buyer of my property! Thank you all at Team Elevate Estates. You performed a near miracle for me! If I could just wave a wand and be in Texas that would be the best. Guess that's asking a bit much. You are all so professional and awesome! I would recommend you to all of my family and friends in this area if they were looking to buy or sell a home. I already gave your information to a neighbor, Amy, just in case. read more

A thousand thanks to Team Elevate!!! Tony and Chris were nothing short of incredible! They made the very stressful and time consuming experience of selling AND buying a home so much more manageable and the entire process was just smoother given their expertise and wisdom. They truly are the best mix of being professional yet personal always showing care and concern for our desires and needs. I would highly recommend Tony and his team to all my family and friends! read more

Tony, the awesome owner or Elevate Estates, connected us with Josh when we had a sudden interest in moving because of a house that we happened to see just become available. It all had to happen in the matter of a few days as there were other applications on the table. Josh was able to secure multiple factors we really needed in order for us to be able to make the move happen, most importantly negotiating the price to what fit into our budget. Josh worked hard to get it all done with a quick turnaround and helped guide us every step of the way! In the end we got our dream house, in large part thanks to Josh's hard work and persistence to make sure we were the accepted applicants! read more

Tony and his entire team were awesome to work with. From beginning to end they kept me in the loop, answered all of my questions quickly, and always had my best interest in mind. When I first let them know what I was looking for and the price range I was able to afford they worked hard to continue to show listings and send me new listings online. Sometimes just looking yourself on Zillow or Redfin is overwhelming so them taking the time to send me new openings was awesome! They were all professional in handling everything from submitting an offer, house inspection questions, getting seller credits, and closing. As a first time home buyer, they made the entire process so easy and incredibly fast. Even during the pandemic, they made things so easy as a first-time buyer. Between him and Chris, if I were to buy another property tomorrow, I would use them 100% again. read more

We are so pleased with Tony and the whole team at Elevate Estates. They were very knowledgeable in regards to how buyers are looking for real estate in today's market.

We would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling their home. Special "thank you" to Chris, for making this a smooth process read more

Chris was super helpful throughout the first time home buying process. Definitely recommend elevate.

Tony is Professional, Dependable, and very Tentative. He was ready and willing to hold my had throughout the entire buying process. This was only my second real estate transaction and I wish i would have met Tony on my first purchase. He has definitely earned my business for life and I will be referring my friends and family to him. THANKS AGAIN! read more

My wife and I recently moved to our first home together and we couldn't have done it without the help of our wonderful agent, Tony Kim. From the moment that we met Tony, we knew that he was someone we could trust. He explained the whole process of buying a house in simple terms and took the time to listen to all of our concerns and questions. Tony appointed his lead buyer specialist, Solly, to work with us directly. We were able to visit a couple homes the same week! After visiting more than 10 homes, we were able to find the one that we fell in love with. Tony was able to write the offer the same night. He was also able to convince the seller to drop the price to fit our budget. The whole escrow process took less than a month. Tony was there with us throughout the whole process, answering all our questions and keeping us updated the whole time. He made this very stressful time a breeze for us! If you're someone who's looking for a trustworthy and efficient agent, Tony Kim is your guy. I would definitely recommend him to all my family and friends. Thank you again for helping my wife an I find our dream home! read more

Tony and his team delivered as promised and more. Tony help us sale my mothers house in less then 30 days after listening and got more then listing price. His team treated us with respect and of most importance. Communication was just a text or phone call away. This has been the easiest experience we had in selling a house. Tony, Chris, and everyone on the team can be trusted. They took really good care of us. Highly recommend using their expertise and amazing service. read more

We had an excellent time working with Darryl and the team at Elevate Estates to purchase our first home. He kept us well informed and always made himself available to answer all of our questions. He showed us several homes, even ones we weren't likely to buy just so we could get a better idea of what we liked and didn't like. He helped make the home buying process as smooth as possible. Darryl is very personable and seemed genuinely excited to help us buy our first home. It would be a pleasure to work with Darryl again in the future. read more

Thank you so much, Ricky, for helping us find our very first home! Ricky is personable, very knowledgeable, reliable, and generous with his time. The thought of buying a home was overwhelming for us, but you made the process very simple and actually very enjoyable. Thank you for always letting us know what to expect every step of the way, so we weren't taken by surprise. Thank you again Ricky and the Elevate Estates Team, I'm looking forward to working with you again for all my real estate needs! read more

Chris was an awesome agent! Very knowledgeable about every step of the process , gave great advice and always respected our wishes. Also he always made himself available to answer questions or show us new listings asap. read more

Josh Chopin is the best realtor I could ask for! He made my home buying process so easy and fun!! Every time I had questions for Josh, he had an immediate answer and a thorough one so I was informed on everything throughout! Josh is also always timely and prepared! We found my new home and closed seamlessly in about one month! I sincerely recommend Josh to any person who needs a realtor! read more

If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and hard-working agent, look no further! My husband and I both work full-time with young children, and there's no way we could have sold our home for the price we got or so quickly (we got the offer that eventually closed after the first open house) if it wasn't for Tony and his team. If you have little kids, you know how hard it is to keep your house clean and presentable... Tony's services included cleaning and staging the house for us. They also coordinated and managed all the logistical tasks needed to prepare the home for showings. They're the definition of a full-service team. Above and beyond! read more

15 OFFERS IN THE FIRST WEEK! What more can I say? Tony and Team Elevate did a fantastic job listing my property and guiding me to a successful close. His marketing approach and materials were top-notch and exemplify the tremendous pride and professionalism he brings to his job. Tony and team were always thinking two or three steps ahead to head off any potential issues before they arose. For example, he accurately predicted that the appraisal would not come in at the contract price so he ensured that the buyers were willing and able to cover the difference BEFORE we even accepted their offer. Thank you, Tony, Aja and Team Elevate for a job well done!! read more

Tony and Chris were amazing in their help selling our property. They were always very quick to respond and held our hands the entire time. But the most important thing is, they sold our house for 55k above list value. They staged our house well and painted it to be more appeasing to buyers and they worked with their agents to ensure a very smooth and fast escrow. Tony and Chris worked hard to make sure that we were satisfied and my handsome husband, David, definitely agrees with me. (I had to write handsome there because I promised him) Anyways, Elevate Estates know what they are doing and should be your first stop in choosing a real estate team. I think we had like a 20 day escrow or something - it was amazingly fast and smooth and they communicated with us every step of the way. The document signing process, now all electronic, was so much better than the conventional ways. They are "in with the times" and use modern technology to help the selling process. Highly recommended. read more

I highly recommend Tony and his team for your real estate needs. He worked with my fiancé and I to get us into our first home. He was someone that kept us updated daily and truly looked out for our best interest. He is dependable and someone that will go above and beyond to get things done. read more

Chris from Elevate Estates was extremely helpful with any questions or concerns my family and I had about the property. He always answered in a timely and professional manner. Although I had little knowledge of buying a house, Chris made sure the transaction went as smoothly as possible. I would definitely recommend him to any first time home buyers read more

Tony, Chris and team were great to work with. We had lots of questions throughout the process, and the team was quick to respond and patient with us. The process of listing and selling our home was easy and quick thanks to the Elevate team- thanks guys!! read more

Tony and Chris were absolutely remarkable to work with. They were professional, transparent and patient. Answered all of our questions and made sure we understood the process. We wouldn't be in our dream home without them. I would highly recommend them!!!! read more
