It feels like a great honor to be able to write this review about Pat Loya. Pat assisted me and my wife with the purchase of our first home in 2017 and then assisted us with the sale of our home in 2020.
When Pat assisted us with the purchase of a home, we were first time home buyers. We had no previous experience or knowledge about the home buying process. This can be intimidating and stress inducing because you don't know what you don't know; I say that because there is so much to understand, especially when it comes to real estate. We didn't know what Special Assessment Taxes were, or Mello-Roos; this was all completely new to us.
Pat really took us under her wing and educated us on the home buying process.
Pat was also very patient with us. Buying a new home is a big deal, it's also a big commitment. With that being said, we wanted to see a lot of different houses, and we did. Pat always accommodated our work schedule and always responded to our request to see a home with a sense of urgency. This was nice because we always felt like we had to act fast or someone was going to snatch the house we wanted right out of our hands.
When we found "The One", Pat was very strategic in her approach. She really helped us negotiate with the sellers, which was great because like many, we were on a budget!
When our house was in escrow, Pat communicated with us every step of the way. We always had a million questions, and she never made us feel like we were bothering her, in fact, she always made us feel very comfortable, and answered every question in detail. There were a few occasions where she would spend a little over an hour on the phone with us, just answering questions.
Fast forward to 2020. Me and my wife were expecting our second child, and we had quickly outgrown our first home. We needed something bigger than 1,300 sqft. When we decided we wanted to sell our home to buy something bigger, we immediately thought of Pat. We called her, and she arranged for us to meet to go over everything. We didn't even have a chance to put up a sale sign before we started receiving offers. Pat was again very strategic in her approach to selling our house. Again, Pat was always there to answer our questions. She made the whole process very smooth and seamless.
We were very happy with the outcome of the sale. We were able to sell our house for more than we expected, which is always nice.
Overall, I highly recommend Pat Loya. If you need someone who is kind, caring, knowledgeable, and patient, Pat is the realtor for you. When the time comes for us to sell or buy again, we will definitely be calling Pat, we can't see ourselves working with anyone else. read more
