Gabe was our mortgage broker. He spoke in understandable terms but was obviously very experienced at what he was doing. His support began well before we actually started looking for a house, explaining what lenders would be looking for in our particular situation (self-employed). The timing of everything that happened was like a dance and between everyone who was involved in buying/selling our house, he was the only one who never misstepped. Not only was he timely and communicative, we ALWAYS felt like he was the only one really in our corner. The sellers wanted to sell, our realtor wanted to close, the escrow company was doing okay but let things fall through the cracks here and there. Gabe advised us through everything as if our money was his own personal money he was protecting from risk. This made it easy for us to trust his advice and expertise. He was on our side from beginning to end and I'm really glad he was with us through that complicated process! If you choose Gabe as your broker, I know you won't regret it. read more

Gabriel Ostrow I live in LA= everyone I know has at lease 1 family member/friend / neighbor who works in- Real-estate But, when looking for a house to buy- I have high requirements! And, since it's my First house- I have no experience...and want The Best. Meeting with Gabriel Ostrow was like a gift. What I Loved about working with Gabriel: he really Cares for his client, and invests to find the Right property that Fits his client's needs! As I'm picky, and, with no experience- Gabriel had to show me LOTS of houses! He did Everything with a lot of Patience! Gabriel is very Knowledgeable & Experienced- he would tell me ahead if he believes the property is good as a home/ investment. and conducted a full research on each property prior. YeY- I found the Right House! But, in today's market- so many offers on 1 house, and my funds are limited... Gabriel was not sitting aside, he contacted the seller's agent, who really liked him for his very kind & polite personality, and convinced her why my offer is the best for her clients (even though it wasn't the highest). I wanted the house SO much, I told Gabriel to offer the sellers more money, but Gabriel, who could have made more commission , cared more about me as a client, and was able to save me LOTS of money and closed the deal in a smooth and successful way! Thank you Gabriel Ostrow! read more

Gabe helped my husband and I with every step of the way in the purchase of our home. He sat with us to know what we wanted and needed as well as what we could realistically afford. He showed us things within our interest, and when we came across just what we wanted, he made it happen. He was able to negotiate more than we thought possible and got us a great deal. We are super grateful! read more

My brother has bought & sold properties and got mortgages with Gabe several times since 2008. When I've decided to get my 1st home, Gabe was the only option I've considered. He helped me prepare for the mortgage, worked with my CPA and credit repair company to present me as an A+ buyer and borrower. Eventually, and after numerous tries in a crazy hot real estate market, he found me my dream home, helped with negotiations in a multiple offer situation and closed escrow in 30 days. You can rely on him to take care of your interest, when buying, selling or getting a mortgage! I will use his services again! read more

Me and my husband had the pleasure of working with Gabe Ostrow and his team. Gabe is extremely patience and very easy to work with. He worked on our credit score for 1 year prior to us even starting to look for potential homes. Then it took another year for us to find the right house we could call home. Never in these 2 years we felt any uncomfortable pressure from Gabe. This is my first house purchase, and my husbands second. With that said I don't know much about this long transaction, thankfully Gabe is super attentive and informative throughout the whole process. Not only did he guide us through it, he also was teaching me the importance of understanding every step of it. When the process started it seem so long and stressful. Gabe was representing the sale of our town home and representing us with our new home. It was contingent for us to sell our town home to be able to buy another home. Lots of deadlines, documents, signatures, legal matters and money in the line. All I know is he made it all happened very effortlessly from what we experienced. Thank you Gabe for making this a pleasant experience! We can't wait to move into our new home!!! read more
