I cannot express how wonderful our experience was with our realtor Diane Hatfield at Podley. When…read morewe moved from out of state two years ago, we went through two realtors just trying to find a rental home. One first realtor was incredibly flaky - the other realtor was a little green. I gave up and ended up renting an apartment on my own in Monrovia. Over this past summer we began a home search again only this time with the intention to purchase. We found a home in Monrovia and loved it. The seller's realtor ended up representing us too. What a fiasco that was! Apparently the house had already been been technically sold and we were merely a back up offer in case financing for the original buyer didn't go through. We didn't learn that for several weeks. Based on a friend's referral we contacted Diane. What a completely different experience from the other realtors. Like night and day. Diane helped us narrow our home selection by asking the right questions and understanding our needs. We searched for several months and Diane remained patient and informative. Even when I became stressed by the process Diane helped talk me through it. Yesterday we closed on our new home. It was the easiest home purchase I have ever had. Diane met us at escrow as we signed our papers. I've never had a realtor do that before. She has a great abundance of connections in the community for repairs. Diane was even willing to help me search for more eco- friendly options on the termite front. I really appreciated that! PS We used East West Bank for financing the mortgage and they also were also easy to work with. Much better than the big banks that sell off your mortgage the day after the paperwork goes through.

She gave us solid advice at every stage and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable.

Angel Chao and the Eva Lin realty team were the best allies we could've hoped for when we bought…read moreour house. I say that not just because Angel was extremely knowledgeable, but also because she treated us with the same care she'd treat her own family. She was patient with us as we changed our minds a few times on what our wants/priorities were, was incredibly forthcoming about the pros/cons of every house we visited, and never once pushed us toward a home we didn't love. She gave us practical advice on how to discern if an home was for us - this included her strong recommendation that we visit the neighborhood at night to make sure we felt safe. We followed her advice, and are glad we did! Even after we closed, she guided us through an intense and complicated 14-day escrow that would've been impossible to navigate on our own. We were very closely in touch, and she really kept us in track. During escrow, we had a great experience with all of the inspectors that the team recommended to us - we truly felt that they only recommended companies that they would use themselves. Furthermore the team arranged everything for us - it really felt like a concierge service! For these reasons and so many more, we enthusiastically recommend Angel and the whole team to anyone looking to buy a home!

I keep a close eye on the real estate market and I had two big worries going into this home sale…read more First, I was concerned our house wouldn't sell at the price I wanted. Second, I was worried it would take months to find a good buyer. Thanks to Eva, neither of these scenarios materialized. In fact, she got us multiple strong offers within a week of listing the house on the market and we accepted the best offer at a phenomenal price. On top of that, the entire transaction was under contract and closed within 30 days. In addition to the fantastic sale outcome, our overall experience with Eva as our agent also exceeded my expectations. My favorite thing about working with her was how accessible she was. I know she's one of the top realtors in town so I was worried that she'd be hard to reach and maybe even distracted with a heavy client load. It turned out that wasn't the case at all. She was easy to get a hold of and she gave me her undivided attention each time. TLDR: If you're looking for exceptional, top-tier service, go with Eva. Eva made what's normally a very stressful process so incredibly easy, and we're truly grateful.

So, I actually found Mike through ChatGPT when I searched for top agents in the area, Mike came up first. After reading his reviews, I reached out, and from that very first call, he was exactly who he said he was: professional, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I had interviewed a few other agents, but knew Mike was the right person to work with based on his track record and his kind demeanor. Selling my first home was bittersweet, but Mike made the process feel steady and manageable. His communication is honestly next level, always responsive, proactive, and patient, especially when walking me through paperwork and answering my (many) questions. Even coming from a commercial real estate background, I can say residential is a different world, and Mike handled it all with ease. Mike is a great agent, someone you trust, and someone you want in your circle. He is 100% authentic and sincere. I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with Mike.

In the Spring of 2024 my husband and I embarked on a relocation journey that took us from the Bay…read moreArea to Pasadena. We were both retired and wanted to move to Southern California to be closer to our son's family. Luckily, the realtor who helped us with the sale of our San Jose home had previously worked with Reni Rose. She knew her well and had very high praises for her many years' experience in Pasadena area real estate as well as her congeniality. Before we made our final move, we visited Pasadena to get a better feel for the local real estate market. Reni gave us a couple of grand tours, driving us around and talking to us about the different areas of the city and neighboring suburbs. Reni showed a great deal of patience and persistence in presenting us with various options of places to live. Her knowledge of the Pasadena area and all its various neighborhoods made it easier for us to decide which area best fit our needs. We wanted to be no further than a twenty-minute radius of our son's house, while having easy access to grocery stores, theaters, hiking trails, medical facilities. We decided to rent a place in a neighborhood that attracted us and Reni emailed us weekly listings in the areas we were considering. When a house interested us, Reni would preview it, then would call us to describe and discuss it with us. We attended many open houses with Reni, and she provided excellent input to our decision making. Our search process continued for more than six months. We seriously considered eight or ten houses, including two that we made bids on and had inspected, only to finally reject them due to the high cost of repair. Throughout this long process Reni remained dedicated to finding a house that satisfied our needs, and did not in any way pressure us to compromise on our choices. She was especially knowledgeable about a wide range of neighborhoods, which was tremendously helpful since we knew very little about Southern California and since our search included a large number of different towns and neighborhoods. Finally, we found a house we loved and that was within a price range that fit our budget. There were other bidders and Reni suggested an innovative bidding method that proved successful in getting us the house. In addition, she provided us with helpful contacts with inspectors, foundation specialists, and contractors. As a final touch, Rene gave us a house-warming present of a substantial gift certificate for a local home décor shop. We very much appreciated the gesture, which was indicative of her thoughtfulness and warmth. Reni's encouragement, patience and deep knowledge California Real Estate brought a successful conclusion to our extended search, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Pasadena area.
