We were real lucky to find Jacob! He is the perfect mix of experience and enthusiasm. We were used to old, tired, and pushy realtors, but Jacob was none of these. Don't be fooled by his youthful looks, the guy knows his stuff! My wife and I only had a few ideas of what we were looking for in our first home in California. During our initial meeting with Jacob, he helped us create a list of at least 10 possibilities and we found the perfect townhouse that same day (thanks to one of his recommendations)! As we were going from house to house, it was clear that Jacob had our best interest at heart. He asked owners/sellers any questions we forgot to ask and really advocated for us, including giving some advice and tips regarding possible safety concerns for our children and pets. When we finally walked into the place that we loved, Jacob noticed. Right away, he started reciting our checklist and happily called the realtor with every little question we had. We decided we should take a look at some of the other places on the list still. Jacob did not mind at all. After each subsequent house, we all knew that townhouse was going to be the one to beat. We decided to stop wasting our time and Jacob got all the paperwork started that evening! Thanks to Jacob's extensive knowledge, he was able to understand what a fair offer would be on the property (we were going to offer too much!) and he ended up saving us $5,600! Just 17 days after seeing the property, my family now has the keys to our first home in California! Jacob Mkhitarian is a real stand up guy. He's a kind, smart, trustworthy, reliable, and a fast worker. 5 STARS! Thank you, Jacob! read more

My wife and I could not have asked for a better real estate agent. Jacob Mkhitarian went way beyond our expectations in helping us sell our Burbank property. Even during the slower holiday season Jacob was able to market our home in a way that brought us multiple offers. He even negotiated with the highest offer and raised their price by an extra $12,000, ultimately selling our property over our asking price! He also negotiated with the buyers and got us a free rent back for a month, which saved us another estimated $3,000. This was my first time selling a home- I had so many questions and concerns. Jacob helped so much by being available 7 days a week and would even answer my calls late at night. Jacob is such a kind person, he always went the extra mile to make sure my wife and were taken care of. He even helped us find rental homes- even though he doesn't usually help people with rentals. I am so grateful to have worked with Jacob and Markarian Realty Team. I will always use them for all my real estate needs! read more

I just closed escrow on a beautiful home with an additional dwelling unit in a competitive Burbank neighborhood. All thanks to the help of Jacob Mkhitarian! He was able to negotiate aggressively for 2-3 days with the sellers and got us the exact deal we wanted. He was such a BIG help to my family and me. Even before I started looking for homes with Jacob I was in the middle of selling a property of mine and I didn't trust my own agent enough so I would ask Jacob for advice. I am an elderly man and often times phone conversations were hard for me to hear so Jacob would go out of his way to come to my home and assist me with all the questions I had. Jacob was so kind and patient with me throughout the whole process. He really went above and beyond my expectations of a Realtor and I plan on using him for any future transactions for my family and me!

Wow! My husband and I are just so thankful that we found Jacob Mkhitarian and chose him to help us sell our Burbank home. We set up interviews with 4 top agents in the area and when Jacob sat us down and explained his marketing strategy it was like night and day in comparison to the others. We signed the paperwork the same day we met him and we are so glad we did! He sold our house in under 15 days during the "slow" holiday season and over asking price! Him and his team are so on top of the Valley market and really know how to get serious buyers. I personally was very nervous of the process of selling our home but Jacob was always available and always held our hand during the whole transaction. I always felt safe working with him and in the end everything went very smooth! If you need a trustworthy Realtor who can get your house sold fast and for the most money go with Jacob!

Jacob is a miracle worker! Our current situation and need was impossible and many times we almost gave up hope but Jacob was always positive and gave us strength to continue! We are glad we trusted him because we just closed on our lovely first home in Pacoima! My wife and I have been living with my parents in order to save for our down payment. Our home search was extremely difficult because we were usually the lowest down payment offer in every multiple offer situation. Jacob went above and beyond his job description to meet with and then call the sellers representatives. Explaining to them the dire situation we were in and pleading for help to get our offer accepted. Sure enough his extra efforts got our offer accepted amongst 18 other offers! We weren't even the highest priced offer! Amazing! I truly believe no other agent in the industry gives you the best shot of getting your offer accepted. 5 stars! read more

Jacob Mkhitarian did an outstanding job helping out my elderly father purchase a beautiful Burbank home. When I first met Jacob he had already been helping my father for a month or two. I knew I could trust him because he had gone out of his way to visit my father and help him with a previous transaction. It is rare to find a Realtor who isn't just in it to make fast money, Jacob truly cared to help my father and I saw it in his actions. During escrow he even fought with the sellers for days to make sure the repairs we needed done would get done. He truly looked after our best interests and he delivered exactly what we needed. The property even appraised $15,000 over what we payed for it, Jacob is a miracle worker. I highly recommend him and Markarian realty for any real estate transaction in Burbank, Glendale, and surrounding areas. Thank you Jacob! read more

Then he was able to work with our difficult budget to set up an offer that was perfect for the exact home we wanted. He got our offer accepted on a Glendale home in only 2 days on the market, other agents were angry that they didn't even have a chance to make an offer! Jacob's expertise and positive thinking is unmatched. Even at times when we were sad and nothing was on the market that we liked, Jacob was always hopeful and checked the market daily. If you need an agent stop looking for anyone else, call Jacob now! read more

Jacob just sold my Glendale townhouse $20,000 over asking price in less than 14 days! I highly recommend Jacob Mkhitarian and his team from Markarian Realty. His marketing strategy is the better than any other agent I have ever seen. They have over 20,000 buyers in their database and he was bringing clients to see my home even before my home was publicly listed. He created such a high demand for my home that we had 4 offers in the first week, in a "slow" market. I always knew I was in good hands since the day I met Jacob and our escrow was super smooth. He is trustworthy, honest, hard working, and everything you want in an agent. He even was able to negotiate with the buyers so I didn't have to give them a penny back for repairs.

I just got my keys to my brand new Canoga Park home all thanks to Jacob Mkhitarian! He is such a miracle worker, thank you so so much! I had a few realtors my family and friends recommended but when I checked how many homes they sold they each sold like one or two in the last year. I needed an expert realtor that did a lot of business whom I could trust. So I came to zillow and searched for the highest reviews in the north hollywood, northridge, porter ranch, glendale, and surrounding. Jacob had the best reviews and most sales BY FAR! So I called him and within 3 months he found me my dream home and negotiated twice with the seller in escrow saving me close to $6,000!
